Chapter four hundred and seventieth take the initiative to fight
There were only three important things to do next for the young king.
The first is to hold the wedding as soon as possible. Arianne has been pregnant for five or six months. If the wedding is not held, their child will be born.
Although the wedding can be reorganized in the future, no one dares to say anything, but after all, the name is not justified, and ordinary people may not care, and it is not a big stain for the noble royal family.
Therefore, the king's wedding was scheduled for half a month in St. Baelor's Cathedral. There were not many guests eligible to attend the wedding, mainly members of the Targaryen family and important ministers under his command.
There will be fewer people on the bride's side. Her uncle, Prince Oberyn, and the Sand Snakes will attend. Arianne's father, Prince Doran, has difficulty moving due to gout and has not left the Garden of Water for many years.
The bride's brother, Prince Quentin Martell, took a boat to King's Landing a long time ago and arrived not long ago. However, the other prince, Trystane, was too young and was left in Dorne and did not come to attend his sister's wedding.
wedding.
In the wedding arrangements, Prince Quentin and Aegon will form the flower boy together, and Sansa Stark, the young lady of Winterfell, is of the right age and will serve as a companion to help the bride hold up her dress.
.
In fact, King's Landing had already started preparing for the king's wedding since before Arianne arrived.
However, the royal wedding process is extremely complicated and has high-level specifications. Even if it takes several months to prepare, it is difficult to fully prepare.
After all, no king or prince would hold a wedding in such a hurry. Viserys took the time to go to Braavos to give the busy palace steward some breathing space and give him a few more days to arrange the wedding.
The second more important thing for Viserys to do is to be crowned again, which was initially controversial.
Viserys felt that it was unnecessary to be crowned again, but some ministers and advisors still suggested that the new king be crowned again in King's Landing, so that it would be more legitimate.
After all, Viserys was crowned for the first time on Dragonstone. At that time, the Targaryen dynasty was in turmoil and the building was about to collapse. The orphans and widows fled to Dragonstone. It was Queen Layla who gave cotton to his son. It was inevitable that there would be some
In a hurry, maybe the gods haven't heard yet.
As for the second coronation he claimed, he actually knew in his heart that it was completely false.
The seven gods did not crown him, nor did the Heavenly Father pluck the stars from the sky and set them in his crown.
At that time, it was the idea of the ministers to get in touch with the gods in order to better settle down in the Andas Plains and rule this "granted land" of Braavos.
Viserys could not resist the suggestions of his ministers. After all, holding such a seemingly useless ceremony would actually be helpful in future wars.
People in this world are still very firm in their persistence and belief in certain things.
Finally, the young silver-haired king agreed to hold another coronation ceremony, and the date of the coronation ceremony was set on a day before the royal wedding.
However, this is not all.
There is one last important thing for Viserys, which is the trial of the usurper Robert Baratheon and his followers Eddard Stark.
Viserys had declared that he would hold a public trial for these people and make their crimes known to the public, including some secrets.
Although many of the criminals on the list have died over the years.
For example, Jon Arryn, Duke of the Eyrie, who played an important role in the Wolf Deer and Osprey Alliance, was assassinated, and Hoster Tully, Duke of Riverrun, was betrayed and had his head chopped off by his own vassals.
There are also people who were not arrested, such as Lord Tywin Lannister of Casterly Rock, who narrowly escaped by boat from the battlefield of Riverrun.
These are the culprits named to be killed, and it is almost impossible to forgive them.
But this trial can no longer be postponed. After all, Robert has been in his hands for so long, and any further delay will only add more problems.
Viserys was also worried that something might change later.
Therefore, in the first formal royal council after Viserys returned to the Red Keep, the public trial of the principal criminals in the Usurper's War was scheduled for a period of time after the royal wedding.
"If the honorable Lord Tywin is absent from the public trial, I think it is quite a pity."
Oberyn, who was sitting on Viserys' left hand with his legs crossed, looked a little cynical. In fact, he had always looked like this. While stroking his slightly curly beard, he spoke in a teasing voice.
Then he turned his head and glanced with interest at the little devil who had just talked. This dwarf was different from his appearance. There was considerable wisdom in his small body. The analysis he just made was logical and coherent.
Even Oberyn couldn't help but take a high look at him.
When Tyrion felt Oberyn's gaze, he shuddered slightly and felt a chill on the back of his neck. He quickly lowered his head and clasped his fingers.
"Tsk."
Oberyn slightly shrugged his shoulders and looked away when he saw this scene.
However, he looks frivolous on the outside, but in fact there is a cold light shining slightly deep in his dark eyes.
It was obvious that he was not as peaceful as he appeared on the surface.
The death of his sister Elia actually had little to do with Robert, the Baratheon family or Eddard Stark, and could only be regarded as an indirect murderer.
Even Oberyn was willing to admit that if the Duke of Winterfell took the lead in attacking King's Landing, then nothing would happen to his sister.
The person who actually raped and killed Elia was Gregor Clegane, the Mountain, and the real murderer behind the Mountain was Tywin Lannister, Duke of Casterly Rock.
He deceived the city gate of King's Landing, and then led the Lannister soldiers to burn, kill and loot in King's Landing. Because Prince Rhaegar died in the battle, it was only a matter of time for Robert and the other rebels to win. The Lannister family arrived a step too late.
Wen could only use the heads of Elia and Aegon as a token of trust.
Facts have proved that Duke Tywin's methods are indeed clever, and he actually won the biggest victory after the Baratheon family.
But now Oberyn took the initiative to take off the medal of the Hand of the King, and led the Targaryen family's second legion across the sea to land in Westeros, just to settle accounts with the Lannister family.
"Your Majesty, I would like to apply to lead the troops to attack the Western Territory on my own."
Then Oberyn put away the cynical expression on his face, lowered his crossed legs, and a rare serious expression appeared on his face.
"I am willing to make a promise to you. I will 'invite' Lord Tywin to attend the trial before the public trial."
