The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire
Chapter 157 True Dragon’s New Lair
Essos, city-state of Kantus, governor's palace.
In the meeting hall, Viserys stood beside the governor's chair at the highest point, looking around slowly, with a slightly sarcastic smile on his face.
"Dani, my dear sister, you are so lucky."
Daenerys below turned away her little face, and everyone could see her sadness, except Viserys.
Jorah Mormont on the side couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty Viserys, you cannot win a city by luck alone. Princess Daenerys's decisiveness allows us to stand here."
Viserys was in a good mood for the time being, so Jorah Mormont's "resistance" did not awaken the Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon in him.
Viserys sat on the governor's chair and looked down at the people below.
He raised his voice and said: "In the name of Viserys III, the king of the Andals, Rhoynar, and First Men, ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, and guardian of the entire territory, I declare that the city-state of Cantus will be renamed the city-state of Viserys. .”
"In the name of the True King of the Iron Throne, grant this city glory."
When Viserys finished his excited words, the hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone was stunned.
Seeing that no one echoed his claim, Viserys' handsome face twisted and he said angrily: "Are you deaf? Are you planning to disobey the king's order?"
Viserys became more and more angry as he spoke. He stood up suddenly and said sharply: "How dare you to disobey the king's order?"
Still no one spoke, and no one knelt down to beg for mercy as Viserys imagined. The war had just ended, and most of the people below were still covered in blood.
No one was afraid, and no one was angry. They just gathered around their sister unusually quietly.
They looked at him calmly, as if without any emotion, but this situation made the angry Viserys feel panicked.
Viserys's face turned red, and he quickly expelled the inexplicable fear in his heart. He was a true dragon, and true dragons are fearless!
Viserys' body was shaking with rage, and he needed someone to vent to. He slowly scanned the faces below, and finally...his eyes settled on Daenerys, who had her face lowered.
Viserys had a slightly distorted face, with a sneer on his face.
"Danni...sister..."
Viserys's cold voice came, and among the people present, only Daenerys trembled unconsciously.
Daenerys, who had been grieving for losing too many soldiers, came to her senses and looked up at her superior brother.
The corners of Daenerys's eyes turned red. During this period, her brother no longer scolded her or hit her. It can be said that the two of them had a rare "peaceful" relationship when they grew up... But I don't know why she The brother in her heart who played with her and told her stories... became increasingly blurry in her memory.
That was the warmest place in Daenerys' memory. She had been praying that her brother would come back, but...why could she not remember his appearance more and more clearly? Is that brother going to abandon her?
…………
A hot tear escaped from the corner of Daenerys's eye and slowly slid down her cheek.
Viserys naturally saw Daenerys who was frightened to tears by him, and her eyes showed abnormal excitement. This was the consequence of awakening the wrath of the sleeping dragon!
Viserys laughed strangely and sat back in his seat.
He raised his chin arrogantly and said contemptuously: "My good sister, have you heard my order?"
Ser Jorah noticed something was wrong with Daenerys, and he turned his head and looked over... Her Highness the Princess' eyes were empty, and she was crying silently, one drop after another.
Ser Jorah's heart ached, and he was about to speak, but was interrupted by Viserys's voice.
"Dani, why don't you speak? Do you want to awaken the wrath of the sleeping dragon in me?"
After Viserys finished speaking, Daenerys' petite body trembled again as if she could not control it.
Daenerys's empty eyes gradually disappeared, and a glimmer of light appeared in her violet eyes.
Daenerys raised her hand. She lowered her eyes and looked at her palm. This was her own hand. It was still trembling slightly, and it was going against her will.
Daenerys closed her eyes, she seemed to have found the answer.
That brother was a memory left in her heart, but the current brother...the abuse and beatings, did Viserys leave painful memories in her body?
Why did the brother who accompanied her through the trembling days leave him... She understood now that the brother found another person who could take his place.
That brother didn't abandon her... The thin and little brother finally showed a relieved smile.
…………
Ser Jorah's tall body moved, blocking Viserys' view.
"Your Majesty Viserys, I would like to remind you that this is Essos, not Westeros. Your claims will only bring us more and stronger enemies!"
Viserys raged, and Ser Jorah stared up, unyielding.
Viserys gritted his teeth: "Mormont, I will chop off your head sooner or later!"
Why is Viserys so eager to claim the city-state of Cantus? Because Viserys has long been dissatisfied that everyone only takes orders from Daenerys, but ignores the true king of the Iron Throne... He feels that today is the best time for him to seize power.
Why does Viserys think today is the best time to seize power from his sister... He has no reason to carefully plan and calculate... He is a true dragon. If a true dragon thinks it is the best time, then it must be the best. Timing, this reason is enough.
As for the hidden dangers described by Jorah Mormont, they have nothing to do with him... For Viserys, seizing power is to gain the majesty that a king deserves, and has nothing to do with anything else... because Daenerys has already promised him , within the agreed period of one year, he will get 10,000 troops to fight back to Westeros.
All in all, he took the opportunity to take over the power in Daenerys' hands and he obtained soldiers and horses from Daenerys are two different things.
…………
Dick had been standing respectfully next to the governor's chair. He was now trusted by Viserys, and he could now be said to be Viserys' only subordinate to demonstrate the majesty of the king.
When Viserys and Ser Jorah were in a stalemate, Dick looked at Daenerys quietly.
At this time, Daenerys was wiping her tears with a towel. She seemed to feel Dick's gaze, paused, and nodded her jaw subtly.
After receiving Daenerys' order, Dick's eyes moved habitually. He approached Viserys, bowed and whispered: "Your Majesty Viserys, it is more important to deal with the people's petitions. Who will the people know?" He is the master of this city.”
After listening to Dick's advice, Viserys paused. As long as he sat here and processed the petition, he could let the people know who is the real master... This is a clever seizure of power!
Viserys first gave Dick a satisfied look, and then he said: "Mormont, I will give you a chance to atone for your sins. You go and report to the outside world that starting tomorrow, I will personally meet with the people here and... Handle popular petitions.”
Ser Jorah's face darkened instantly. He was once the lord of Bear Island, and he certainly understood what it meant to have Viserys handle the petition.
Ser Jorah clenched his fists. Princess Daenerys had finally conquered the city-state of Kantus, but he wanted to steal Princess Daenerys' power without any pretense and scruple.
"Ser Jorah, please stand down."
Hearing Daenerys' clear voice, Ser Jorah immediately unclenched his fists, stepped aside, and stood aside.
Ser Jorah raised his eyes and glanced at Princess Daenerys, who straightened her waist, and then quickly lowered his eyes.
At Ser Jorah's suggestion, Daenerys decisively extended a helping hand to Governor Cantus, who had not waited for reinforcements.
As a result, most of the slave-born recruits and the guards of the Crab Claw Peninsula were sacrificed, and Daenerys Nobushige's Osana and Ange were also seriously injured.
In the end, Daenerys and Governor Cantus fought back the invaders through internal and external cooperation.
The enemy retreated, and Governor Kantes, who was already seriously injured, handed over the responsibility of protecting the city to the silver-haired princess before he was dying.
So the Princess of Dragonstone, the Breaker of Shackles (obtained when rescuing the slave merchant ship), Daenerys Targaryen of Stormborn...as the savior, they justifiably took over this city of ten thousand people from the former governor. The guardianship of the city-state.
[No need to explain Daenerys’ cheating life, please automatically figure out more details]
…………
Daenerys stood in front, and her eyes first touched Dick's.
Dick nodded slightly: Your Highness, please rest assured.
He is a clever Dick. When he was in King's Landing, he slipped into the Red Keep with the crowd and saw how the superior king's hands dealt with one petition after another... Dick felt that he would never be able to handle those complex and troublesome matters. All kinds of problems big and small.
Dick was familiar with Viserys...he couldn't handle it, let alone Viserys.
Earl Green told Dick that he was the bridge between Krab and Targaryen. The Krab family was betting not on Viserys, but on Daenerys.
Dick kept his mission in mind... It seemed that he was helping Viserys, but in fact he was digging a hole. The real purpose was to wait for Viserys to cause public resentment, so that Daenerys could stand up and regain it at the right time. People's hearts.
This is something Dick learned when he was hanging out in Flea Street. He found that some people used similar methods when doing something.
Although Kantes has repelled the invaders now, no one dares to say that the danger has been eliminated, because those invaders may come back tomorrow, so the former governor smoothly handed over the responsibility of guarding the city to Princess Daenerys.
Dick couldn't guarantee whether the invaders would come back, but he knew that they were outsiders and couldn't make the city feel too comfortable.
Otherwise, after a peaceful period of time, the city will quickly forget the kindness of Princess Daenerys and regard outsiders like them as intruders.
Therefore, the city needed a bad guy, and Dick thought the easily mad Viserys would be a perfect fit.
After a while, Dick will ask Princess Daenerys to give him some executioners... He must stay close to Viserys to prevent him from accidentally causing a riot and losing his life here.
…………
Daenerys looked at Viserys and said, "Brother, I will arrange for someone to inform you that starting tomorrow, the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion will accept petitions from the people."
Daenerys couldn't guess what Dick had planned, but she chose to believe him, and it would take some time for her to consolidate Cantus's defenses.
During that time in Pentos, the man as warm as the summer sun told her why the army is the foundation of power and the guarantee of security... Green's gentle voice and simple and easy-to-understand words are still in Daenerys' ears. .
Viserys smiled broadly: "Dany, my good sister, you are indeed my good sister... I will not forget your contribution, and I will definitely reward you when I take back the Iron Throne."
Daenerys nodded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Viserys again.
"Dani, don't forget about the name change."
Daenerys showed a confused look... Facing the death of so many familiar people for the first time, Daenerys was immersed in grief and did not hear Viserys's words.
Ser Jorah explained: "Princess Daenerys, Your Majesty wants to change the name of the city-state of Cantus to the city-state of Viserys."
Daenerys frowned slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at Viserys, who was leaning on the armrest with a proud look on his face.
Sir Jorah added: "Your Highness, this move can easily arouse dissatisfaction and hostility from others. We cannot deal with so many enemies now."
Daenerys' purple eyes moved slightly and said: "Sir Jorah, thank you for your advice. Let's go and take me to visit the injured."
Viserys was stunned when he saw Daenerys leaving with her people, and was about to get angry when Dick quickly came over.
"Your Majesty Viserys, you don't need the princess's help for such a small matter. After a period of petitioning, everyone will know that you are the master of this city. You can just declare it directly."
That makes sense, Viserys smiled.
…………
A bedroom in the Governor's Palace.
Daenerys saw Osana with a bloodless face and walked over quickly.
Daenerys grabbed one of Osana's hands with both hands, her beautiful eyes became moist: "Osana, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Osana opened her chapped lips and whispered: "Your Highness...it is impossible not to die in a war...I was just injured...recuperate for a few days...hiss...damn it!"
It turned out that Borona saw that the atmosphere was too heavy and stretched out her fingers to press Osana's wound.
Osana and Borona glared at each other, and Daenerys could not help but curl her lips as she looked at them.
…………
…………
Prime Minister's Tower, Prime Minister's Bedroom.
Dong-dong-dong-dong-dong, the rapid knock on the door made Eddard Stark, who was sleeping, sit up in shock, his heart beating wildly.
Someone outside the door shouted: "Lord Stark!"
Duke Eddard felt inexplicably deeply uneasy. He got off the bed, walked through the dark room, and opened the door.
Outside the door were guard Tomad who was knocking on the door with his fist raised, guard Kane holding a candlestick, and the steward standing behind.
The royal steward said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, His Majesty the King declares your presence immediately."
Is Robert finally willing to come back?
