However, His Majesty the Emperor's actions after his return disappointed all those who were watching the excitement and did not take it too seriously.
He did not get angry at Dorne's rebellion and depose his queen, nor did he doubt that Oberyn, who had followed him since his youth, had any wavering in his loyalty.
After Viserys returned to King's Landing, he imprisoned himself in the Red Keep, along with the body of Lord Chancellor Jon Connington.
Even the important ministers of the Imperial Council were not qualified to see the body of the Imperial Prime Minister.
People initially doubted whether the news of Jon Connington's death was true, but then news came out from the palace, and then they believed it to be true.
A servant in the palace saw Jon Connington's body with his own eyes and claimed that his surface was covered with a layer of frost and was still lifelike, as if he had fallen asleep.
Those in the empire who did not take it too seriously to watch the excitement were greatly disappointed when they saw this scene. They thought that His Majesty the Emperor was cowarded, fearful of Dorne, and afraid of re-enacting the war of Aegon's invasion of Dorne.
However, then the dragon burned down the city of Skyreach, the ancient and glorious "Kings of Cliff and Sky" House Fowler, the House Uller of Hellgate Castle who had shot Aegon's little queen Rhaenys, and the people of Sandstone City.
The news that the Kogel family had all been wiped out from this world came back to King's Landing. These people were frightened by it, and the rumor was naturally disproven.
It is even said that Viserys did not come to Sunspear in person, but simply sent a letter to Water Gardens, asking Prince Doran to come to the Iron Throne to explain the matter.
Prince Doran, who had been staying in Fallingwater Gardens for decades because of gout, was silent for a long time after receiving this letter. Finally, he decided to go to the Iron Throne in person to explain himself in accordance with the Emperor's decree. He has now taken the bus from Sunspear.
Got on the warship and sailed to Blackwater Bay
And in the cellar of the Red Castle, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
It was used to store dragon bones during the Baratheon dynasty, but now Viserys has imprisoned himself here, along with the body of Jon Connington.
The news leaked from the Red Keep was accidentally seen by a servant when he came in to deliver food. Although Viserys now only needs a very small amount of food to maintain a sense of fullness, he no longer needs to absorb nutrients from food.
But still maintain human habits.
At this moment, the lights in the underground world were dim, and the flickering firelight illuminated the side face of the silver-haired young man. He held an unpredictable black mist in his palm. In front of him was Jon's coffin, and there was a statue next to him.
Faceless stone statue.
"Merasis, what do you want me to do?"
Viserys looked at the unpredictable black mist in his palm, then tilted his head slightly and asked.
Now the entire cellar of the Red Keep was empty. Viserys seemed to be speaking to the air, his voice echoing continuously in the empty environment.
Fortunately, no one came in at this time and saw this scene, otherwise they might have been frightened out.
And the next day there will be rumors that His Majesty the Emperor has gone insane, and that the bloodline of Mad King Aerys II contains the gene for neurosis.
But others could not see the black mist in Viserys' palm, nor could they hear the voice of the woman in the stone statue speaking. Melaxes spoke calmly after hearing Viserys's words.
"Contact this soul with your spiritual power and surround it with the fire of faith."
"Be careful."
Viserys's mental power has become close to that of a god after devouring the power of the old gods. His mental power is too strong, and the fact that Jon Connington's soul is constantly changing shapes is an extremely frightening manifestation.
Now within the field of vision of Jon's soul, it was like an ant seeing an elephant lying on the ground observing him, so he couldn't help but tremble instinctively.
Meraxes reminded Viserys to be careful and wrapped it with divine fire, just to ensure that the moment the two came into contact, Jon Connington's soul would not be shattered.
Viserys was somewhat glad that he had endured his curiosity in the first place, otherwise he would not have been able to save people, but would have caused Jon to lose his soul.
"Jon?"
Viserys then carefully contacted Jon Connington's soul and said hello.
However, this mass of black mist suddenly shivered as if it had been frightened in some way, and even its color became much darker. After a while, a weak response came from it, which was both surprising and joyful.
With a strong sense of wonder.
"His Majesty?!"
Jon Connington's soul was in a state of unconsciousness until he was reawakened by Viserys.
However, his memory still lingered on the moment before his death. He led the soldiers into Tianji City, but due to negligence, he encountered the enemy's counterattack and was shot in the chest by a cold arrow, and then died on the spot.
life.
When Jon Connington was dying, he also regretted his underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly. He was not afraid of death, but he felt sorry for his newly married wife and the child he had just given birth to who had not yet seen the world.
After helping Viserys unify the Seven Kingdoms, Jon Connington was granted the title of Storm's End, as well as the governorship of the Stormlands. After he settled down, he listened to the introduction of others and chose a wife who was well matched.
The niece of the Governor of the Riverlands, Geoffrey Bracken, and the fourth daughter of his brother Janos Bracken, Beth Bracken, has just had her first period and has just grown up. She is also an old husband and a young wife.
Viserys approved the marriage between the two major families under his command, so the two completed their wedding at the beginning of this year. Viserys also personally attended Jon Connington's wedding.
Because her husband worked in the Royal Council, Beth also followed her husband to live in King's Landing after their marriage, living in the Prime Minister's Tower.
Before Jon led his army on the expedition, Bess was already pregnant with the heir to the Clinton family of Storm's End, and she had been pregnant for several months now.
Jon left this world with regret and guilt, and his soul left his body and was attracted by certain qualities in Viserys, and came into his hands until Viserys reawakened him.
However, from Jon's perspective, this was indeed a bit too scary. At the same time, although he knew that His Majesty mastered mysterious magic, he did not expect that Viserys actually had the ability to control souls.
Now he is clearly aware of his state as a soul.
"it's me."
"Jon, what's over there?"
Viserys nodded slightly, and then couldn't help but ask.
However, his question made the other party fall silent instantly.
