Chapter 8 It’s all prologue

Rammus is a humorous bachelor, and his lectures are easy to understand and more attractive than the lectures given by his father, Viserys's grand master Lunetl.

The latter is old, serious, old-fashioned, experienced and steady. He is a highly valued personal adviser to his father and has a considerable say in the imperial meetings.

At the same time, he was also responsible for the education of Crown Prince Rhaenyra. Rhaenyra felt that he was an overly solemn old man and his lectures were boring, just like her dean of college.

In addition, there were two or three maesters who served as his deputies and assistants. The one who impressed Rhaenyra deeply was a monk named Eustace, who belonged to the Red Keep.

At this time, Lunetl was summoning his deputies, the maesters in the Red Keep, to send messenger crows to all parts of the country, and summon nobles of all sizes to enter King's Landing to participate in the canonization ceremony.

King Viserys had publicly announced his heir at the recent royal meeting. Rhaenyra was also present at the meeting. Her father had long ordered her to participate in state affairs but not to express her opinion.

Archmaester Lunetl was Viserys' advisor and friend, so he naturally supported him. Hand of the King Otto Hightower's political opponent was his uncle Daemon, who remained neutral on the matter and said nothing.

Finance Minister Bisbury nodded slightly and winked at Rhaenyra, who smiled back. Rhaenyra had a plan in mind for the finances of King's Landing, and the old man swore to defend it to the death in the original book.

With her own power, Rhaenyra had good intentions towards the old nobleman who had served as Chancellor of the Exchequer since her great-grandfather King Rei's council.

At this time, the royal council of Viserys I included the following people:

Hand of the King:Ser Otto Hightower

Captain of the Kingsguard: Ser Harold Westerling

Grand Bachelor: Runetel

Lord Chancellor: Count Leonor Strong

Chancellor of the Exchequer: Lord Linman Beesbury

At the imperial meeting at this time, the position of Sea Lord was not established, but there was still a chair in front of the table waiting for its owner.

Even the fool in the Red Keep knew that the Sea Lord's position was prepared for the sea serpent Velaryon. When he came to King's Landing, the king would allow him to join the royal council.

The sea serpent Corless Velaryon also arrived in King's Landing from Tidehead Island today, but his attitude towards this matter is ambiguous. The Minister of Justice, Earl Leonor, has just come to serve in the palace and has no influence or tendency to take sides.

I also support this matter.

His eldest son Harwin was appointed a captain of the City Guard, his second son Lalys became a confessor to Viserys I, and his two daughters became maids to Princess Rhaenyra, which meant that

The Zhuang family is loyal.

Leonor was just appointed minister in 105, so the eldest son, second son and two daughters are still on their way to King's Landing.

The Strong family on the road had a warm atmosphere but always had a hint of disharmony...

.

A carriage was driving on a country road. Inside the carriage, two girls from the Strong family were whispering, discussing and looking forward to life in King's Landing. Laughter was coming from inside the carriage.

A young man was sitting on the edge of the carriage. He seemed a little tired of the chattering of the girls in the carriage, and his eyes were fixed on the leader of the group.

The leader is naturally Harwin Strong, the eldest son and heir of Leonor Strong, Duke of Harrenhal. He looks strong and handsome, leading the way at the front, surrounded by knights from the family.

"Brother," the man sitting in the carriage finally spoke. It turned out that he was the second son, Larry "Crooked Foot" Strong.

One of his feet was twisted when he was born, so he could only limp while dragging it. The injury to his foot also meant that he could not ride a horse like his brother.

"Our father has become the Minister of Justice, do you have any plans in mind?" Laris stared closely at the horse under Harwin's seat, as if staring at a bloody hole.

Harwin did not look back, and naturally did not notice that his brother's eyes were strange. He just said doubtfully, "Of course I followed my father's arrangement. I will protect King's Landing and the Red Castle for His Majesty the King together!"

"You know, it is said that Princess Rhaenyra will be established as the crown prince. There may be unrest in King's Landing. Her uncle Daemon is the leader of the Two Thousand Gold Robe. Aren't you afraid?" Laris said meaningfully...

Before the ministers sent a letter to inform all the nobles, Lalith deduced from the situation and information that Rhaenyra would become the Crown Princess. Although he did not arrive at King's Landing, Lalith's mind was already in the Red Keep.

Bendfoot Larys Strong did not wait for his brother's reply and continued to speak in an unpredictable tone, "Princess Rhaenyra is the light of the kingdom and is widely loved by her subjects. She is destined to sit on the Iron Throne in the future. I don't know how many young knights have done it for her."

She is obsessed with her, and there are a lot of suitors who want to win her favor. My brother, you are also a famous young handsome man. Don't you have any idea to become a Targaryen prince?"

When Harwin Strong heard this, he immediately blushed and said hurriedly: "Brother, don't talk nonsense. How dare I have such an idea? My father will definitely beat me up after hearing this!"

After hearing this, the knights from the nearby families started shouting, "What nonsense are you talking about? I will definitely discuss it with Sir Strong when I go to King's Landing!"

"It would be nice to have a wedding drink in the future!"

"That's right, Harwin, you must know that love will last for a long time!"

Everyone's good-natured ridicule caused a burst of laughter, and the female relatives in the carriage couldn't help but curiously opened the curtain and asked.

The atmosphere was getting better and better, except for one person who was clenching his teeth.

"The inheritance is yours, and the best war horse is also yours. The girls in the family territory only pay attention to you. The elders like you, the knights love you, and I am the second son and have nothing." Bend-footed Laris withdrew his gaze.

, but his fingers pinched his sick leg tightly.

——

In the Red Castle, no one objected to the king's decision, and the inheritance rights were finalized. The messenger crow flew this information across the country.

Reach, House Tyrell

An old man was sitting in the main seat, listening to the raven-managing bachelor reporting the contents of the letter. After listening, he said to his wife, a beautiful lady, "A young dragon, I don't know if it can

Fly up." The lady nodded calmly.

North, House Stark

An ancient castle with a long history, a stern father, a kind mother, and a half-year-old boy were sitting at the dining table, and the boy was eating the drumsticks of a honey-glazed roast chicken.

The bachelor came down from the crow's nest and seemed to have something to report. After hearing this, the elder Stark pondered for a while, and then ordered the bachelor to convey an order to the nobles in other territories, while the young man was still persistently dealing with the roasted man in front of him.

chicken

Westerland, House Lannister

A letter was thrown into the flames, the sound of violins rang out in the luxurious hall, and the lion sculptures seemed to roar at the invisible enemy.

River, Tully family

The middle-aged man hurriedly ran into a hall, which was bustling with people. Everyone was talking and holding their own opinions. The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his face.

Vale, House Arryn

A beautiful girl was whispering to her female companion, and then pointed in the direction of King's Landing.

Stormlands, Iron Islands...

The messenger crows left, and Rhaenyra stood on the terrace of the Red Keep, watching them fly into the sky and gradually disappear.

After a while, she spread her arms as if embracing the setting sun.

Dusk lengthens and deforms her shadow, like a dormant dragon, but it also seems to be a classic character action in a drama, welcoming the beginning of the prologue amidst the passing clouds.
