Nearly all evidence from the leads investigated points to Volantis.
Everyone at the high-level military council in Pentos suggested launching crazy revenge against Volantis, but these were all suppressed by Jon Connington.
He instinctively felt that there was something fishy about this matter.
However, after hearing what Viserys said, the expression on Jon Connington's face changed slightly.
He didn't expect that the enemy actually came from Braavos. It was true and false, and the real murderer wanted to divert trouble southward.
But fortunately, he calmed down at that time and did not launch any revenge against Volantis for the time being, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
But now, according to His Majesty, this matter should have been settled. He taught Braavos a painful lesson, but I don’t know what Braavos looks like now.
The man with gray-red hair, dressed in aristocratic clothing and with the Order of the Hand of the King on his chest, was thinking silently.
However, at this moment, Viserys turned his head and looked at Jon Connington and said.
"Jon, let's talk later."
He did not explain to Daenerys why Volantis stole the dragon but burned Braavos with fire. Jon looked stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly.
"OK."
The Iron Throne is already close at hand, but for some reason Viserys is a little distracted and even vaguely evasive.
This may be why he did not hesitate to ride on the dragon and fly to Braavos.
Because he jumped out of the circle and calmed down. From the perspective of a bystander, this throne, which was made by smelting thousands of swords, actually has no value.
Instead, it brought more disasters. The entanglement surrounding this iron chair lasted for hundreds of years, with bloodshed, killings, and crimes.
This may be a kind of feeling that you have been working hard for a goal, but when the goal is really close, you feel confused.
To put it simply, she is a bitch and hypocritical.
However, this does not prevent His Majesty from going out for a walk and setting fire to the city to relieve his inner anxiety.
In the imperial garden of the palace on the top of the Nine Pagodas, there are some rare and exotic animals, flowers are in full bloom, and the grass is green.
"His Majesty."
Jon Connington appeared behind Viserys. He looked at the back of the silver-haired young man and said with complicated eyes.
It was inconvenient to say something when the little princess was around just now, so I decided to change the time to say it outside.
The first time Jon met Viserys was in the city of Pentos. At that time, he was not even an adult yet, but he had the courage to lead a mere two hundred soldiers into the city where he was surrounded by enemies.
Jon Connington was a member of the City Watch at the time, and he saw Viserys's back from a distance.
But at that time, he could not have imagined that a few years later, this young man would take off with the help of this city, overcome the difficulties he faced and become a dragon. From then on, no one would be able to limit his height.
And Viserys also handed a pamphlet in his hand to Jon.
This was something he wrote down in his spare time at Riverrun after the war.
He had thought about it a lot before, mainly about planning and thinking about the future. However, Viserys rarely chose a cautious attitude at this time and consulted the opinions of important ministers.
Jon took the pamphlet handed over by Viserys and briefly read it, but his expression changed slightly.
It is all written by Viserys himself, recording some of his thoughts. It seems a bit messy, but the expression is very clear.
"The centralization and unification of national power is the general trend."
As many nobles of the Seven Kingdoms feared, Viserys decided to apply the system he experimented with on the continent of Essos to Westeros.
He decided to take advantage of the period of the war of conquest to take drastic action and cut through the mess quickly to eliminate pedantry.
And his first sword was decided to strike on the heads of the princes of the Seven Kingdoms from top to bottom.
Viserys's tentative plan was to revoke the title of 'Guardian', strip away all dukedoms, and demote them to earls except Dorne, retain their fiefdoms, and transform 'Guardian' into the position of 'Governor'.
From now on, only members of the Targaryen royal family can be granted the title of Duke.
And except for the Duke of Dragonstone, who is the heir, the other dukes only have honor but no real power, and cannot be inherited to future generations.
As for the newly established governorship after the abolition of the guardianship, he was actually the person in charge of the territory, but he was not as stable and powerful as before.
The king has the power to remove the governor at any time, appoint another local noble to assume the position, or even parachute a foreign noble to serve as governor.
At the same time, Viserys' plan didn't stop there.
His drastic actions were even more radical than those in Andalos, otherwise Jon Connington's expression would not have suddenly changed.
In his notes, Viserys planned to transform the political structure of the nine regions of the Seven Kingdoms that submitted to the Iron Throne into "provinces" and abolish the title of the Seven Kingdoms.
Moreover, the power of the provinces was highly concentrated in the hands of the central government. From then on, Westeros had only one kingdom and was only allowed to have one kingdom.
Due to his outstanding achievements, Dorne is not included in this sequence for the time being. He can still maintain a certain degree of independence. With the title of "Prince", he can be regarded as a special zone.
The series of dazzling words like 'deprivation of title', 'establishment of province' and 'appointment of governor' made Jon Connington's heart beat faster and his breathing became rapid.
It never occurred to him that Viserys was more radical than he imagined.
Especially when he saw the sentence "Jon Connington is tentatively appointed as the Earl of Crow's Nest and the Governor of the Stormlands Province", his throat even rolled and he felt dry for a while.
"Your Majesty, isn't this... going a little too fast?"
Even though Jon Clinton had experienced strong winds and waves, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat a little faster at this moment.
Although the power of the reformed governor was greatly reduced compared to the former Duke of Storm's End, guardian of the Stormlands, it was also a step up to the throne and he became the lord of the Stormlands province.
Although Crow's Nest is small, it is also the home of Jon Connington, and although victory is certain, the war is not over yet. The future ownership of Storm's End is still unresolved. It may be left to the Baratheon family, or it may be driven out completely.
And there are others on this list.
‘Bessie Joyce is tentatively proposed as Governor of Pentos’.
‘It is tentatively proposed that Geoffrey Bracken be the Earl of Stonehedge and the Governor of the Riverlands’.
'The Lord Rhaenys Targaryen of Summerhall.'
‘Dany, Lord of Dragonstone’
Seeing this, Jon Clinton was slightly shocked.
He quickly withdrew his eyes, not daring to look any further.
