It was the first time that Horos personally presided over the Grand Council, but in fact it was not the first time that he participated in the Royal Council.
Because he served as the Sea Lord of the Empire after succeeding as the Prince of Dragonstone and was personally in charge of the Navy of Dragonstone. In theory, all fleets in the Empire should obey his orders.
Of course this is only theoretical.
The Empire's Minister of War is supposed to be in charge of all the armies of the empire, but in fact the responsibilities of the Minister of War are to manage ordnance, recruitment, and the appointment, removal, promotion, personnel transfer, etc. of some lower-level commanders.
The emperor is still directly responsible for the supreme commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial Legion, and the Minister of War will also provide a series of necessary suggestions when the war comes, etc.
"Call someone to clean this place up."
Now, from the beginning to the end of the coup, most of the day has passed, and everything in the Red Keep has been tidied up except for Maegor's Tower.
Horos also ordered his servants to clean the cellars of the Red Keep so that the Targaryen family's legendary weapons and dragon bones could not be covered in dust.
Then Heros thought for a moment, and although he thought the possibility was low, he still added.
"I will preside over the Grand Council later and invite Her Majesty the Queen to come over."
The servants of the Red Castle bowed slightly after hearing His Highness the Prince's order and then retreated.
However, not long after, the servant returned again and told Queen Heros that Her Majesty did not want to come to the throne room to attend the Grand Council.
"I see."
Heros was silent for a moment after hearing the servant's words, then nodded slightly and waved his hand for the servant to leave.
"Your Highness."
Then the servant retired and continued to clean the cellar of the Red Castle with others. This place had not been cleaned for many years. This was a big project.
And then Heros stood alone in the side hall of the side door of the throne room, calmed down his emotions a little, and briefly made himself forget what he had just been thinking about, the dragon spear, his father's purpose, etc., and then he took a step forward.
Entered the throne room
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness the Prince."
The throne room of the Red Castle was already full of people.
When the crisis came not long ago, everyone claimed that the eldest prince Horos Targaryen was about to attack King's Landing. People in King's Landing were panicked. However, even so, there are still many imperial nobles and important officials of the Royal Council staying in King's Landing.
They originally thought that there would be a great war, or even a dance of blood dragons, and that the empire would fall apart.
But he didn't expect that Heros would adopt the method of attacking in the east and attack in the west. The high-profile preparations for the war there attracted all the attention, and then he attacked directly from the rear and easily occupied King's Landing.
But now they are gathering together and whispering to each other.
There are actually many well-informed people among the imperial nobles.
Through various channels, they finally learned that the eldest prince had occupied King's Landing this time and was not planning to directly crown him as the second emperor.
Instead, he adopted a more relaxed approach, first becoming the regent and crown prince, managing national affairs, and then looking for suitable opportunities to seek new breakthroughs.
Even the edicts that conferred the title of Crown Prince on Horos and appointed the Prince Regent were granted by Queen Arianne and signed and endorsed by the important ministers of the Imperial Council.
The eldest prince who launched a coup to seize power could obtain the canonization edict from Queen Arianne, which really surprised many people.
But although it is unexpected, it is also reasonable.
After all, the eldest prince has now occupied the capital of the empire and controlled the court and the imperial council. Therefore, whether or not this edict has been issued has no impact on his power.
And outsiders would also not think that the canonization edict granted to him by the queen was willing, but must have been the result of the eldest prince's coercion and inducement.
So now, when many imperial nobles were summoned in the throne room to discuss among themselves, they were worried about the future of the empire.
Tread
The eldest prince, Horos Targaryen, suddenly opened the side door and walked into the throne room under the protection of heavily armed imperial soldiers.
The chatter and discussion in the throne room suddenly stopped. Like a crowing chicken that had its neck pinched, everyone looked at him nervously with their eyes wide open.
But Heros didn't care about it. Since he made up his mind to do such a thing, he was not afraid of the eyes of others.
Now the entire throne room was filled with a murderous atmosphere, and Horos was escorted by imperial soldiers wearing black and red capes and armor.
He stepped up the steps step by step without looking away, and walked towards the Iron Throne.
The throne room was also surrounded by these soldiers, all of whom clenched their spears and shields and stared coldly at the imperial nobles.
Don't look at it, these people are usually aristocratic gentlemen.
If their commander gives the order now, these noble men will be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they will not be able to escape even if they have wings.
Tread
Then in silence, Horos climbed to the end of the steps of the throne room and came to a chair placed next to the Iron Throne.
Then he turned around and looked back and forth at the nervous-looking Imperial nobles below, as well as the Prime Minister Willas Tyrell and others who stood at the front silently and leaning on a cane.
His eyes swept over every face present and saw the different expressions on their faces.
Some people faced the eldest prince's gaze and quickly lowered their heads, while some looked at him and pretended not to see it, while others just stared at Helos, but Helos
Ross didn't take it seriously, his eyes just paused for a moment, and then passed by again.
The atmosphere in the throne room was a little depressing. It was so quiet that you could hear everyone's breathing. Then Heros looked at the expressions on everyone's faces, and then nodded slightly and sat on this chair.
Horos did not sit on the Iron Throne, but sat on a temporary chair next to the Iron Throne.
At the same time, there is also a crown symbolizing imperial power placed on the Iron Throne, which reflects the light brightly.
"Lord Lord Willas Tyrell, Hand of the King."
"It's ready to be announced."
Heros suddenly spoke, breaking the extremely oppressive atmosphere in the throne room.
Phew~
Many voices of relief suddenly came from below. The aura of His Highness the First Prince was really strong, and many people almost couldn't hold on just now.
And the Prime Minister Willas Tyrell, who was standing at the head of many imperial nobles and ministers, heard the eldest prince's voice and nodded slightly with his cane, then walked out of the queue and personally announced that Yalian
Her Majesty the Queen’s decree.
Arianne canonized the eldest prince, Horos Targaryen, as the first heir to the royal family, and appointed him as the regent to oversee state affairs.
Although this news has long been circulated among the nobles at the scene, there are still some people who are not aware of it, and it needs to be announced in an official formal occasion.
