It was just like the scene Xu Ying predicted in the Palace of the Immortal, but the only difference was that the ceiling of the throne room was not blasted with a large hole by the trebuchet.
The prophesied wheel of fate had already been broken when Arianne decided to open the door to the Red Keep, so Xu Ying is indeed the key piece that will have a great impact on the future situation.
Although none of the prophecies he saw in the Temple of the Immortal have come true so far, of course this may not be part of fate.
However, Heros did not know the content of the prophecy, and had never even heard of it.
Now the brown-haired young man stood quietly by the door of the throne room. He looked at everything familiar and unfamiliar in front of him, every corner, every stone pillar, every mural. It was as quiet as a pindrop. can be heard clearly.
Then his eyes finally fell on the end of the steps of the throne room in the distance, the ferocious Iron Throne, and the crown quietly placed on it.
This is what he has always dreamed of most, but now it is so close.
As long as he walks up now, takes off the crown and puts it on his head, and then sits on the Iron Throne left by his father, he can become the second emperor of the empire, Hroth Tange. Leanne I.
Horos looked at the throne and crown in the distance, and felt so nervous for the first time. He was even more nervous than when he was controlling the plague in the Riverlands three years ago and burning the corpses of people who died from the plague.
Because he knew that among the mountains of corpses, there were countless people who had not yet breathed their last breath.
Although they might leave this world tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the flames soaring into the sky lit up their cheeks, and the scattered screams mixed in the wind still penetrated deeply into his heart.
Heros could feel his heart beating faster now, which was a complex mixture of tension, joy, and more.
Then the breeze outside the throne room blew the fallen leaves, and the young man standing by the door took his steps for the first time, walking towards the depths of the throne room.
It was so quiet in the throne room that you could hear a pin drop, only the rustling of Horos' footsteps echoed.
He climbed the steps step by step and finally reached the Iron Throne, then stretched out his hand to pick up the Valyrian Steel Crown that was quietly placed on the Iron Throne.
And the ruby in the crown is emitting halo.
Then just when Heros's finger was about to touch the crown, it stopped slightly in mid-air and paused for a moment, just like Xu Ying's actions in the Palace of the Immortal.
But the difference was that Xu Ying felt the great danger and stopped in time, while Heros only hesitated for a moment, and then directly picked up the crown.
"This is the crown my father left behind."
Horos picked up the crown, which was entirely made of Valyrian steel, and then stood in front of the Iron Throne, looking at it carefully through the sunlight shining through the windows above the palace wall.
It is said that this is the crown that my father forged by smelting Valyrian steel daggers, and also mixed with some other precious metals, and the ruby embedded in it is also an extremely precious material.
He heard his mother mention this crown. When you wear it on your head, you will feel warm all over your body. It may have the effect of driving away diseases and colds. At least the queen has been wearing this crown for so many years, and she never seems to have gotten sick.
Do you want to put it on?
There seemed to be a voice in the depths of Heros's heart, perhaps it was his own desire.
And this voice is constantly urging Heros... put on this crown that should belong to you, sit in the seat that your father left for you, and then let the ministers of the Imperial Council and the nobles from all over the country come to pay homage.
However, Horos stood in front of the Iron Throne and after carefully studying the crown he had dreamed of for a long time, he put the crown back on the Iron Throne again.
Because Heros knew exactly what he really wanted.
There is no doubt that the eldest prince of the Targaryen family is a smart man. He also knows that now is not the best time to wear the crown, so like Xu Ying in the prophecy, he restrained his inner desires and
defeated them.
"One day I will wear it openly and sit in this position."
Horos placed the crown on the Iron Throne again and said silently in his heart.
Then he turned around and left here without looking back. Only the Valyrian steel crown was still quietly placed on the Iron Throne, and the ruby in it was blooming slightly.
However, after Horos left the throne room, he was not in a hurry to leave the Red Keep. Instead, he went straight to the inner palace of the Red Keep, the place where he grew up, and Maegor's Tower, the royal dormitory of the Targaryen family.
Because he knew that Queen Arianne, who did not appear in the throne room, must be in Maegor's Tower at this moment.
Then Horos crossed the bridge of the dry moat of Maegor's Tower Fortress with ease and came directly to Maegor's Tower. In the Red Keep, Horoth could not get lost with his eyes closed, because he was so familiar with this place.
In front of Maegor's Tower, most of the soldiers, maids, gardeners, etc. in the Red Keep have left, but as expected, there are still people here.
The person who blocked Heros was a tall female knight. She was wearing a white cloak and white armor without any family crest. A long sword hung on her waist. Her face was ugly and her light yellow hair was casual.
The wind blows, it is Brienne of Tarth, one of the members of the Kingsguard.
She seemed to have known for a long time that Horos would come to Maegor's Tower, and she had been waiting here quietly for a long time.
"Your Highness, stop."
Brienne Tarth pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, blocking Hroth Targaryen, and spoke in a calm voice.
"Ser Brienne."
"I want to see my mother."
However, Horos frowned slightly when he saw Brienne blocking his way.
But he still patiently expressed his intention.
"But the Queen does not want to see you, Your Highness."
Brienne stood in front of Horos, looked at the brown-haired young man in front of her, shook her head slightly and said.
Brienne knew that the First Prince's swordsmanship was outstanding and that she might not be able to stop him, but she still wanted to explain it like this. Then Brienne paused and then continued.
"The queen has known for a long time that you are coming here, but she doesn't want to see you now."
"But she has something to give to you."
"What?"
When Heros saw what his mother had given him, the expression on his face was slightly stunned.
