Game of Thrones: The Arrival of the Dragonborn Chapter 239: The King’s Mercy
As time went by, more and more nobles came to the Red Castle, and it gradually became lively.
Duke Werther of Tyrosh killed the last male of the Targaryen family and brought back the remaining female members. Everyone had happy smiles on their faces. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they must be happy today.<
/p>
Everyone put on the most gorgeous clothes and the most expensive accessories, and walked into the hall chatting in small groups. Werther also passed by at the right time, receiving congratulations from various nobles along the way. When everyone arrived,
Robert walked onto the Iron Throne under the leadership of the Kingsguard.
The last time Werther came to the Great Hall of the Red Keep, when he was acting Prime Minister, he laid a blanket on the Iron Throne. Robert also felt comfortable sitting on it. The Minister of the Council said that the Iron Throne symbolizes royal power, and laying a blanket on it was inappropriate.
Bo opened his mouth and scolded them. Why didn't he dare to persuade Werther to sit down?
So now when Robert enters the hall on a formal occasion, the attendants walking in front of him are holding a large custom-made gold-backed crowned stag blanket, which is spread on the Iron Throne before Robert walks from the door to the throne.
This item has been added to court etiquette since Werther left.
The nobles in the city finally gathered together, and Robert had to deal with some undecided matters first. Werther and Renly stood closest to the Iron Throne. Werther used the mute magic to start chatting about the gossip of King's Landing. The two of them chatted happily.
He was dancing without making a sound, which made the nobles around him who wanted to talk envious.
"The Scarlet Witch you mentioned recently came to King's Landing, and many nobles lined up to have a kiss." Renly said with a wicked smile.
"Haha, when Melisandre takes a bath, they will probably be scared to death! But has Robert seen her?" Werther is a little worried that Robert will not go up to her.
Renly turned his head and glanced at the Iron Throne: "Robert heard that she was a magician and wrote to me to ask. I told her that Melisandre was over 300 years old this year. I thought he would give up, but it turned out that he had a period of
Time runs to Melisandre’s hotel every day.”
Werther was shocked: "Robert has such strong tastes! Melisandre's magic belongs to the transformation and illusion systems, which is very dangerous for Robert."
Renly: "So, Robert brings Thoros or Jon Snow with him every time he goes. Fortunately, I also heard that the Shadowbinder seems to be infertile, otherwise it will be a big trouble."
Werther looked at Jon Snow, who was standing behind the crowd. He was now the deputy commander in gold robes. It turned out that his relationship was based on guarding the king.
Jon saw Werther and Renly looking at him, nodding to the two masters, and then looking towards the hall with serious expressions on their faces.
Werther probably guessed what Robert was thinking. He was risking himself and wanted to give birth to a child with magical talent. However, according to Queli, high-level shadowbinders do not only give birth to magical shadows that can survive for a short time.
Even if you exchange one life for another and use your own death to activate the magic power, you can still give birth to a normal child, but which long-lived person is willing to give up his life?
Werther: "If Melisandre gives up her life and gives birth to a child with Robert, it will only be an illegitimate child. Even if there is no queen, it is impossible for the king to marry a person of unknown origin. Melisandre will not engage in such a loss-making business.
."
Renly laughed: "Indeed, it was rumored that after she spent a few nights with Robert, Robert did not make any promises to him. Even the construction of the Temple of R'hllor in King's Landing was strongly vetoed by the Bishop of the Seven Gods. She felt that
I didn't catch anything, and I left King's Landing alone and I don't know where I went."
"Hahaha." Werther also laughed.
Robert is not very smart in other things, but fighting, drinking, and women are his areas of expertise. Melisandre's attempt to blow pillows is not feasible with Robert. He has always been the one who refuses to recognize him even if he puts on his trousers.
The Lord, so many women who gave birth to illegitimate children for him have never benefited.
The two were chatting, and the hall had quieted down. The door of the Red Castle opened again, and two Kingsguards and eight soldiers took Daenerys into the hall.
Daenerys was dressed in luxurious clothes, with a simple thin gold necklace hanging around her neck. She walked up to Robert with her head held high. She only gave Robert an ordinary female nobles ceremony and did not meet the king.
Liturgical leaning forward.
Robert didn't care either. How to arrange Daenerys's royal meeting had already been decided.
Robert sat upright on the Iron Throne at this moment and said energetically: "Daenerys Targaryen tried to organize an army to restore the former dynasty, but was captured by Duke Werther. Do you have anything to say?" p>
By letting Robert do the questioning, she has already given her enough respect. Explaining the identity and crime of the criminal should be the job of the etiquette officer.
"I was born into the Targaryen family, and I only did what I should do." Daenerys' tone was neither humble nor overbearing, and she looked around again: "I think everyone can agree with this reason."
The facts are correct, and her background dictates that her stance is different, but no one around her dared to accept her words.
Robert: "For the war crime of provoking the overthrow of the royal family, the main character Yin Geng Targaryen has been killed. After the information brought back by Duke Werther, the accomplice Daenerys is now sentenced."
At this time, the nobles' hearts were in their throats. Some who were die-hardly loyal to Robert wanted Daenerys to die, and some who still had feelings for the former dynasty wanted Robert to keep her alive.
Especially Bachelor Yin Meng who was invited here. He gave up his family, but when the family was about to die, he couldn't bear the death of Daenerys, a lovely descendant.
Robert looked at Renly: "Minister of Justice, how should her crime be judged?"
Renly's face straightened and he walked to the center of the hall: "According to the laws of the kingdom, Daenerys Targaryen will be deprived of all noble titles, honors and territories, all property will be confiscated, and she will be sentenced to death by hanging!"
The hall started to get noisy.
Robert waved his hand and asked Renly to step aside. He walked down from the Iron Throne holding the Valyrian steel warhammer leaning next to the chair. He was tall and fat and stood in front of Daenerys, looking down at her.
Daenerys also looked at Robert without fear.
Robert held the war hammer high with both hands. Daenerys, who was waiting for death, closed her eyes in fear. The war hammer swung up and made a dull sound through the air. Many female nobles present also quickly closed their eyes, not wanting to see it.
A scene where brains are splattered.
Bang! The warhammer hit the floor.
"Oh!!" exclaimed.
Daenerys opened her eyes and found herself intact.
Robert put the warhammer on his shoulders and walked back to the Iron Throne. He sat upright and held the handle of the hammer with both hands: "I, Robert, have killed countless enemies in my life, but I have never killed children or women! When you were born, I didn't have any
Even if I send people to hunt you down, I won’t kill you now.”
The nobles continued to listen to what King Robert had to say.
"Daenerys Targaryen shall be stripped of all noble titles, honors and territories, confiscated of all property, and shall not be allowed to leave the Red Keep until her death."
"The king is wise!"
"The king is mighty and domineering!"
"Merciful King!"
There were flattering sounds and applause, and a smile appeared on Maester Yin Meng's face. The king did not kill Daenerys, nor did he say that she would be imprisoned. She is now imprisoned in the Red Keep, and at least her life is decent.<
/p>
Some nobles who still had respect for the previous dynasty were also applauding. Without male members, there was no hope for restoration. Although Daenerys was not dead, she would not be able to have offspring if she was locked up in the Red Keep for her whole life, but at least she had a good death.
I felt somewhat relieved.
Only a few people in the royal council watched Robert continue to perform expressionlessly. Daenerys could not die. This was the result of the discussion at the meeting.
Several maids came to Daenerys, took off her necklace, took off her headdress, put a white linen dress on her gorgeous clothes, and took her out of the hall. p>
"Werther!" Robert shouted again.
Werther stepped forward.
Robert: "Duke Werther's contribution is obvious to all. The Red Keep and the Academy will organize personnel to inspect the war ruins of Meereen City in the near future. However, the scars on the dragon and Daenerys are in King's Landing.
These are enough to prove his achievements!"
Another round of applause.
Robert: "According to military regulations, Duke Werther will be personally rewarded with 100,000 gold dragons based on his merits!"
"Congratulations to Duke Werther!" Another round of flattery.
But Werther complained in his heart, the 100,000 gold dragons were the ones he gave to Robert yesterday!
Robert went on to say: "Since Yin Geng Targaryen still has residual forces, Wet Baratheon is now appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Essos continental expedition."
This is the real reward that Witte wants. In today's society, everyone pays attention to the reputation of each division. The previous military rank of Strait Guard can only be regarded as a defensive position. Commander-in-Chief of the Essos Continent Expedition. With this position, Witte is now
Only then can we truly send troops to the Essos continent, and other nobles will have an excuse to follow suit.
Some people were opening their mouths to congratulate, and some smart people had already seen the future trends of the Baratheon family and Werther. Sooner or later, the nine major trading city-states would be swallowed up by Werther. Many people began to make plans on how to hug Werther's lap and board the ship in advance.
Make a fortune.
However, it is too late for these people to deal with it now. Finance Minister Mace Tyrell is smiling the most happily now. The Tyrell family made a huge bet when Veidt was still young and has already made a lot of money. After the meeting in the Red Keep, Maester Yin Meng stayed on in the name of giving lectures. Robert knew what he wanted to do, so he asked Daenerys to be his maid.
Werther and Renly returned to the magic school, accompanied by Jon Snow.
"Why has there been no news from Robb recently?" Several people were drinking and chatting on the red sofa in the school hall again, and Werther thought of Robb.
Jon: "He returned to Winterfell to get married, but I heard that his wife hasn't had her period yet and hasn't had sex yet."
Werther came to Jon's side and asked: "Did anyone die at Robb's wedding?"
Jon thought for a while: "I went to the wedding at a fast pace. It seems that no one was killed. Just a kid from the Karstark family had his leg broken."
Werther felt relieved: "That's not bad. Which family is Robb's bride from?"
Jon: "The girl from the Farman family on Fairy Island in the West is called Saran Farman. She's not bad looking."
Werther's memory was not as good as this character, so he asked again: "Westlanders? How do they know each other?"
Jon: "I heard that the two fell in love at first sight during the tourney held by the Tully family and fell in love freely. Their parents were a little unhappy at first, but in the end they were very supportive. Lord Tywin of the West also sent Sir James to escort him all the way.
, many nobles from the Westerlands attended the wedding in Winterfell."
Werther clicked his fingers, would an old boy like James marry off an earl's daughter? Only a ghost could believe that only Myrcella was worthy of him!
Now that Myrcella has appeared, Emperor Joe will also appear. Werther then asked Jon some questions and found that the third child was there, but Emperor Joe was still missing.
Several people started chatting about interesting things in the valley. Duke Tywin of the West has gone crazy recently. He has been dragging Edmure Tully to play in the valley, and he often leads a group of nobles from the West to hold various dances in the valley. A lot of business has been negotiated between the three parties. Why would Tywin be interested in a dance party, an occasion for unmarried men and women to interact with each other?
Many people speculated that Tywin wanted more people from the Westerland and the Vale to marry each other, and that he wanted a Westerland woman to be the wife of Denys Arryn. As this speculation spread, the nobles of the Vale were very dissatisfied, but this was not a war.
, Duke Denis is a big man, he has to ask himself who he wants to choose as his wife.
As a result, dances are held everywhere in the valley. Tywin, Dennis and Edmure are like inseparable buddies. They have various reasons and never act separately. The women of the Westland surround Dennis and Edmure one after another.
Dennis acts in a chivalrous spirit and is polite to young girls. He never spends the night with young girls except in entertainment venues.
Edmure, on the other hand, has a soft spot for widows in the valley. He has had many scandals with many widows in the valley and does not touch young girls.
Until one day, Tywin and Edmure were guests in the Eyrie, and many of their attendants heard the two quarreling. After the quarrel, the two resigned from Denis and took their men back to Riverrun and the Westerlands.
No one knows exactly what they said.
Later, rumors spread in Riverrun that Edmure often broke things in his room. It was not until the arrival of a noble widow from the West that Edmure improved slightly.
People in Riverrun said that this widow had golden curly hair, a gorgeous appearance, and a very good figure. She was very likely to have a child. Sometimes she would help Edmure to the table during breakfast.
Many nobles in the Riverlands also began to talk to Edmure, saying that even if he did not get married, he would still have a son. If there was no direct lineage, he would convert the illegitimate son into a regular one, otherwise there would be no heirs in the Riverlands.
Edmure felt unspeakably bitter and resentful, but sleeping with the widow every night was so pleasurable that he gradually began to indulge in it.
"What nonsense are these!" Veidt had thought that this woman was Cersei, but Jaime and Tywin were still alive and well. It was impossible for them to let Cersei out, especially Jaime, who wanted to
Cersei dares to sacrifice everything, if Cersei dares to go out to find a man like this, Jaime won't even pick up his Valyrian steel sword to kill Edmure!
At the magic school, a few people chatted until late at night, uncovering all the bad things about nobles from all over the country.
