The routine royal council ended, the ministers stood up and left, and Viserys also returned to his bedroom.
Jon Connington died unexpectedly in Dorne. In addition to the replacement of the position of Lord Chancellor, the position of Governor of the Stormlands was also vacant.
The position of governor is not hereditary, but is held by those who are capable. It is also not fixed to a certain family. Viserys can designate a certain person as the governor of the Stormlands, or it can also be elected by the nobles of the Stormlands themselves.
After Jon's death, he only left an unborn child. He couldn't even identify a boy or a girl. Viserys couldn't designate the child in Lady Bess's belly as the next Governor of the Stormlands even if he took his feelings into consideration.
That was a serious disruption to the system he had established with his own hands. From then on, no one took the imperial governor's decree seriously.
Therefore, Viserys did not appoint or parachute a governor to the Stormlands, but let the nobles of the Stormlands elect a governor who would be approved by the Iron Throne.
Jon Clinton's wife, Lady Beth Bracken, was pregnant and about to give birth, so Viserys asked her to stay in the Red Keep temporarily, freeing up the position in the Prime Minister's Tower and giving it to the new Prime Minister Mith.
·Toyin.
The pregnant Lady Bess Bracken was temporarily taken care of by the steward of the palace in the Red Keep, waiting for the birth of her child before returning to Storm's End. Storm's End is now managed by the steward of the Clinton family.
At the same time, Viserys also asked Lady Bess to send a letter to the steward of the Clinton family, asking him to build a shrine to Jon Clinton in Storm's End.
This order made the steward and the maester of Storm's End look at each other in confusion after receiving the letter.
Because churches are generally built in castles to worship the seven gods, and ancestral halls are also built to worship ancestors, but to worship a person who has just died
This is really not very common.
Even the Steward and the Maester staying at Storm's End felt a little scared for no reason, with a cold wind blowing from the back of their necks. They always felt that Lord Jon Connington's soul seemed to be watching them from somewhere.
Of course, although some were panicked and some couldn't understand, they had nothing to do. After all, this was an order from Mrs. Bess, and they could only follow it.
Therefore, a large-scale construction project is currently underway in Storm's End, and a shrine dedicated to the statue of Jon Connington is being built.
There is actually a reason why Viserys did this. He lent Jon Clinton a little divine fire to help him grow quickly, and then prepared other posthumous matters for Jon.
He planned to place Jon Clinton's soul in the Clinton family ancestral hall in the future, making him the guardian spirit of the Clinton family at Storm's End, surviving with the incense of future generations, and at the same time protecting his own descendants.
After the imperial meeting, Viserys returned to his bedroom to rest. On the other side, the sound of clanging weapons could be heard in the garden of the Red Castle.
At this moment, in the empty garden, the sun was shining brightly above the head, and two girls of about the same height were fighting each other holding magic weapons.
One of them is wearing the white armor of the Kingsguard, while the other girl is wearing silver armor, with a ruby inlaid on the necklace on her chest, and her long brown hair is scattered on the cold armor.
Neither of them were wearing helmets, their figures were flashing around, and the weapons in their hands were constantly colliding with each other. The weapons they held were extremely luxurious, and if the knights outside saw them, they would probably go crazy with jealousy.
Because one of the two female knights is holding the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and the other is holding the famous Dark Sister, both of which are Valyrian steel swords.
However, the red-haired female knight wearing a snow-white cloak finally gained some upper hand. Her swordsmanship was even more bizarre and her figure was more erratic, while the girl with long brown hair on the other side had the most orthodox swordsmanship, being fair and stern.
After another three or four rounds, the female knight in white finally seized the opportunity and knocked the long sword out of the opponent's hand. The tip of the sword pointed at the opponent's throat. Then she sheathed the sword and spoke in a curious voice.
"Your Highness, are you worried about something lately?"
"Sorry, Master Mia."
When Rhaenys heard that her swordsmanship teacher saw through her disguise at a glance, she suddenly looked slightly ashamed.
"It's no big deal, I've been here before."
Mia is older than Rhaenys, and she is even older than Viserys.
She once roamed the streets of Volantis and chose to become a mercenary in order to survive. She has experienced many life and death moments and has naturally rich experience.
"Master Mia, what are the ruins of Valyria like?"
"I'm a little curious."
Rhaenys and Mia each sheathed their swords and took off their armor as they walked. Rhaenys was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask.
"I asked Viserys, but he didn't say anything."
When the red-haired female knight heard Rhaenis' question, she immediately turned her head and gave her a strange look. Then she understood and couldn't help but shake her head slightly and chuckle.
"There are some terrifying monsters in there, Your Highness, you won't be interested."
The two girls were walking and talking, and then her topic changed very abruptly.
"I once liked someone, Your Highness."
"Is it?"
"Who does Master Mia like?"
However, Mia's abrupt change of topic did not sound strange in Rhaenis's ears. The words of the red-haired female knight seemed to poke something strange in her heart, so Rhaenis couldn't help but curiously spoke.
asked.
"A boy next door."
The two girls walked into the corridor of the Red Castle Garden. The green vines above their heads climbed up the shelves, and the bright sunlight penetrated the branches and leaves, leaving mottled shadows.
"He also has red hair, his face is very handsome, and most importantly, he sings very well."
"He often sang to me at that time."
Mia said this and couldn't help but smile, but she quickly discovered this and quickly calmed down the expression on her face.
"Really?"
"What happened next?"
But Rhaenis didn't see the fleeting smile on Mia's face, and asked expectantly.
"later?"
"Then he died."
The red-haired female knight shrugged her shoulders slightly and said.
"ah?"
This strong reversal immediately made Rhaenis unable to accept it.
"So this story tells us that if you like someone, you should go for it as soon as possible instead of leaving it to the end with regrets."
