The Sea King of Braavos did not hide anything, and openly explained that his current physical condition was not good and he was seriously ill, so he needed to use perfume to cover up the herbal smell in the house.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the "reception room" of Neptune Palace is actually the bedroom of Neptune himself.
However, his mentality was very good. He did not look seriously ill at all, but his face looked slightly gloomy, and then he joked with a smile on his face.
"But I hope you two can forgive me for not greeting you in person."
As a figure who stands at the top of the theoretical power pyramid in this world, Aquaman's attitude is very humble without delving into the political entanglements hidden under the water in the elections in Braavos.
This reflects his good upbringing, but also because Viserys and Oberyn are also profitable to them.
Just as compared to blood and tradition, the Iron Bank recognizes numbers more, and they believe that mathematics can never lie.
"Lord Neptune."
At this moment, Oberyn also stopped the frivolous smile on his face and became serious. There was no fault in his behavior. He gave a slight salute and sat on the chair next to him.
He once traveled on the continent of Essos and worked as a mercenary. He first served in the Second Sons and later formed his own team, so he naturally understands Valyrian.
"Lord Neptune."
Viserys glanced at Oberyn, then greeted Lord Neptune in the same manner, and then sat on the chair in front of him.
There were only two chairs in front of Ferrego Antario's square table, which was obviously meant for two people.
The chief swordsman Syrio Forel standing outside the door had just met Viserys, and the two of them greeted each other.
At this moment, he saw the guests and hosts in the house sitting down and about to talk about business, and then he closed the door and personally guarded the outside.
Click——
The bedroom door closed, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became slightly solemn.
"His Majesty."
Neptune was sitting on the chair with his dark hair hanging down his back. He looked at Viserys and then spoke first to set the tone for this meeting.
"The Usurper's War in Westeros was a heinous act of betrayal, and I personally regret what happened to your father and brother."
When Viserys heard what the other party said, he bowed slightly to express his gratitude, although he knew that these were just polite words.
However, he did not question the other party like a lunatic. Since he condemned the usurper's betrayal, why did the Iron Bank loan the usurper a large amount of golden dragons.
"However, a war-torn Westeros is not in our interests..."
Neptune looked at the boy sitting on the chair and continued to speak.
Although Viserys is still young, his height has jumped up a lot in this year. In the past, he had to jump off the chair to sit on it, but now he can get off the chair by standing on tiptoes.
At this moment, Viserys was also looking at the Sea King of Braavos, waiting for what he wanted to say next.
And at this time.
Oberyn, who was sitting aside, raised his hand first to interrupt. Among the three forces at this table, Targaryen was undoubtedly the weakest, and Dorne was not necessarily afraid of Bravo.
S.
"There is no need for us to say these polite words, Lord Neptune, and Viserys."
The Prince of Dorne looked at the young king and then at the Sea King of Braavos, nodded slightly, and spoke frankly and sincerely.
"Why don't we get straight to the point."
...
A secret conversation involving all of Westeros is taking place in the Sea King's chamber in Braavos.
The three parties sitting among them represent three major interest groups, and Viserys is the person with the least say among them.
It's not that he is too young to be recognized, but that the power of the Targaryen family embers behind him is too weak, and it is difficult to win much respect from the Prince of Dorne and the Sea King of Braavos.
But Viserys did not give up on fighting for some benefits.
The young king made a request at the negotiation table, hoping to get the support of Braavos. At the same time, in order to get the support of Braavos, he was willing to give up part of his interests to the other party.
The sun sets in the west.
Unknowingly, half a day passed, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone down, lengthening the figures on the half-open corridor and balcony.
The chief swordsman of Braavos was still standing outside the door of Neptune's bedroom. Children were playing in the garden below. He heard the voices of conversations in the house but remained silent.
As Sea King's personal bodyguard, Syrio Forel knows too many secrets and shocking conspiracies.
He knows how to live longer.
And the scope of this conspiracy is actually very wide. What he knows about is the Golden Company, the former Prime Minister who was expelled across the Narrow Sea, an informant buried in King's Landing, and a person from Pentos.
Governor, wait...
Together they conspired to overthrow Robert Baratheon's rule on the Iron Throne.
The red glow of the setting sun illuminated the chief swordsman's leather armor, messy hair, and straight waist. His eyes blinked and then narrowed, as if he was a little sleepy.
At this moment, the voice of the Sea King of Braavos came from the bedroom.
"Syrio."
Some of the chief swordsmen who wanted to yawn were frightened by this sudden voice, and all the sleepiness in their minds disappeared.
Then he hurriedly held the hilt of the stabbing sword at his waist, patted his cheek again to wake himself up, for fear that Lord Neptune would notice, and then he opened the door and walked in.
"grown ups."
Silio opened the door and walked in.
"Syrio, tell your servants to prepare a family dinner in the ballroom."
Neptune was still sitting behind the table. It seemed that because the conversation lasted too long, Ferrego Antalion's face looked a little unsightly at this moment. He rubbed his nose tiredly and then spoke.
But the good news is that the results of this secret conversation have been released.
The young king Viserys Targaryen signed his name on behalf of his family and Dragonstone.
The Sea King of Braavos also stamped his seal, and Prince Oberyn also signed, but he did not write about the Maltai family, only his own name.
Even if there are any problems with the plan in the future and things are exposed, Oberyn is not afraid of being hunted by the Iron Throne. Because he is not the Lord of Sunspear, it can be said that he is fighting against the Iron Throne in his own name, hoping to save his sister.
revenge.
Such things are common in the history of Westeros, and it is not surprising that families and individuals are separated.
In the absence of sufficient evidence, whether the Iron Throne will blame the family involved only depends on the strength of his family.
Coincidentally, the strength of the Maltai family is still enough to make the Iron Throne "appease" Oberyn's "naughty character".
After the three parties signed this 'covenant', the document was finally collected by the Sea King of Braavos himself and stored in the top-secret document library in Braavos, whose defense strength is second only to the Iron Bank.
