Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

Chapter 43 A small change in the plan

They passed the eunuch and walked into the inner courtyard of the house, where there were many stone pillars and pale ivy climbing everywhere. The shadows of the leaves were dyed as silver as white bones by the moonlight.

"An exiled prince." asked the governor of Myr. "Why is he not hiding in hiding and looking for a quiet place to plot to restore your kingdom, but he comes to openly pay homage to the governor of a free city-state?"

The Governor of Myr sat high on an oak seat in the pavilion of the inner courtyard to listen to Viserys's petition, accompanied by richly dressed dignitaries sitting beside him. They didn't introduce themselves to Viserys, just sat there looking listless and sleepy. They were listening, but they didn't look like they were listening.

Viserys is an uninvited guest.

"A king," Viserys answered. "Ser William Darry once crowned me. I did not send the letter publicly, Lord Governor. The letter of greeting was sent to your private residence. I thought I would meet you on a more private occasion."

"." The governor of Myr looked at him sideways, "Such a king. I have heard from others that you have a different view of the word 'private' than ordinary people. I didn't believe it at the time, but now I have experienced it personally. arrive."

There were snickers around Governor Myr.

"." The other party's venomous tongue almost made Viserys want to retaliate, but he held back.

"What do you want?" The Governor of Myr picked up the grapes on the plate and stuffed them into his mouth. "You want me to provide you with protection? You want me to introduce you to the leader of the Golden Company? Or do you want me to conquer Westeros with you? "

"Actually, I want to negotiate a business deal with you, Lord Governor." After all, Viserys couldn't just say nothing.

"Business. My chamber of commerce has a foreign cooperation department, right? Who eliminated the department when I wasn't paying attention?" asked the Governor of Myr.

Someone said: "As far as I know, this department has not been abolished. It is on the first floor of your chamber of commerce building, where there is a window to the outside world."

"That's good," said the governor of Myr. "Do you want me to appoint someone to guide you, king?"

"I wish to speak with you alone, Lord Governor." Viserys almost wanted to applaud the Governor of Myr for his reaction, but he remembered exactly what he needed to do.

"Then you're not here to discuss business?" said the Governor of Myr. "To be honest, you confuse me."

Viserys said straight to the point: "I'll tell you the truth, I want to borrow money from you, Lord Governor."

The governor of Mir asked the people around him again: "Who will tell me, has Mir's banking industry stopped its external lending business?"

"I assure you, absolutely not." Someone replied, "The Iron Throne recently borrowed money from the bank."

"Okay. Do you need me to arrange for someone to guide you on how to borrow money from the bank in Myr, king?" The governor of Myr looked at Viserys, "I heard that you only brought a crown with you last time, but this time you brought If you get three boats and guards, the bank will be happy to lend you the money."

"I'm looking for you, Governor Myr." Viserys said shamelessly. "Those boats are the property of a good man who is willing to finance me."

"You want me to lend you money in my personal capacity? To support you?" Governor Mill said, "You should have told me earlier. Then I will answer you in my personal capacity, no."

"Would you please listen to me?" Viserys still wanted to speak.

Governor Myr interrupted him: "I'm sorry, I should have said it more tactfully, but I'm afraid you don't understand. King, I said 'no'."

"Oh." Viserys felt that he should be blushing at this moment, but he could only act embarrassingly, "Sorry for bothering you, Lord Governor. Please allow me to take my leave."

"Come, see off my guests for me." The Governor of Myr seemed happy to hear Viserys say this, "I sincerely hope you will feel at home in Myr, my guest."

At this time, Viserys recalled Illyrio's chubby face, and began to feel how kind and generous the fat governor was, and it seemed that he was the only one willing to listen to what Viserys had prepared.

After leaving the door of the Governor of Myr, Viserys looked at the unhappy Daenerys.

"What's wrong? You seem unhappy?"

"yes."

"Dany, I'm afraid I have to explain to you. The governor of Myr speaks very venomously. He expresses his indignation that we came to him, but he also has good intentions."

Dany couldn't hide her surprise.

"Ah, yes, you heard it right. Think about it, when he said those words, was he warning us not to post in a big way and causing trouble in Myr? At the same time, he also told us that in Myr we don't have to worry about coming from the outside world. They will not react to the assassination of the powerful people of the Free Trade City and even welcome us if they do business openly. He is the governor of Myr, and his attitude is the attitude of Myr. This city keeps a distance from us and does not want us to die. Here. Do you understand?"

"." Dany's expression asked, right?

"Okay, you can talk normally. We've already left the party, so don't worry about imitating Butch."

"Then we" Dany had something to say.

"Have you forgotten our purpose again?" Viserys interrupted her, "Don't let the leaves obscure your eyes and forget the fruit you want to pick, Dany."

Across the street, Jorah and Butch were walking quickly towards them, and soon reached them.

Jorah looked around the empty space cautiously: "Sir, are you and the lady okay?"

Viserys responded gloomily: "Well, what can happen at the banquet in the Governor's Palace in Myr?"

"What happened?" Jorah couldn't help but ask, seeing that Viserys seemed very angry and unhappy.

Viserys gave a depressed order: "Let's talk about it when we get back." Then he walked towards the inn first.

Daenerys followed closely behind Viserys, and followed suit, changing the expression on her face that had just eased to the previous sullen look.

Back at the inn, Viserys called Jorah and Butch into the room and asked Ani to wait at the door.

Viserys expressed his indignation: "I can't believe it. I flattered him brazenly, but he didn't even give me a chance to fully express my demands."

Jorah secretly looked at his king, and then looked at Daenerys who was depressed beside the king, and had some guesses about their experience at the banquet.

Jorah sighed: "My lord. I'm sorry."

"You regret it?" Viserys seemed to turn his anger to Jorah, "You don't even know what he said to me. What else can you say besides saying you're sorry, can't you give some constructive suggestions?"

"." Jorah lowered his eyes respectfully.

"But if you think about it carefully, what he said makes sense. I personally went to his courtyard to deliver a visiting card and wrote such a conspicuous title. The wealthy merchants in Myr would be afraid of the usurper and worried that the matter would be exposed and would not lend me money." Viserys asked Jorah angrily, "Jorah, what do you think should be written on the visiting card?"

"I am afraid my talent is not enough to give you advice, my lord."

"You also know that it is a suggestion. Whether it is adopted or not is another matter. After all, you have been the Lord of Bear Island."

Jorah said with a stiff face: "How about just writing 'Viserys Targaryen' in the title?"

"So that they know I am the king?"

The reputation of the beggar king is very loud among the powerful. Jorah said: "It should be enough. Who else in the world has the surname Targaryen?"

"You make sense." The beggar king accepted Jorah's suggestion. "Also, Myr seems to have some cooperation with the Iron Throne. I need to know what it is. Jorah, try to find out?"

"Me?" Jorah's face was full of confusion.

"Why?" Viserys said unhappily, "If you don't go, does that mean Butch will go? Or should I go alone?"

Jorah could only agree: "Yes, sir."

After Jorah and Butch left, Ani told Viserys, who seemed to have calmed down: "Sir, Captain Grole came just now. He wanted to ask if you have decided how long you will stay in Myr?"

"It will take at least two weeks." Viserys thought for a moment and gave an answer, "Tell him to prepare for more than three weeks."
