Chapter 975: The Twilight of the Gods

Highgarden is a fertile land located in the Reach province of the king's territory. It was the residence of the Gardener family during the War of the Seven Kingdoms. After the War of Conquest, Aegon gave Highgarden to the Tyrell family.

Three hundred years later, the Targaryen dynasty was briefly overthrown, and the usurper ruled for ten years. Then the heir to the Targaryen dynasty, the second prince Viserys Targaryen, regained the Iron Throne.

But in this war, the loyal ministers in the Usurper's War turned against the Targaryen family. Therefore, the Tyrell family paid a heavy price, and their home city of Highgarden was also deprived and driven away.

Arrive at Star Shuttle City.

However, the Tyrell family, which has declined in recent years, has gradually returned to the right track.

With the hard work of the two Tyrell brothers, the elder brother Willas worked his way up to the rank of Prime Minister, while the younger sister, the most beautiful "little rose" Margaery, became the semi-public lover of His Majesty the Emperor.

The Tyrell family gave birth to a prime minister and the emperor's lover, so the Tyrell family regained its former glory in a short period of time.

Margaery Tyrell is already thirty-six years old this year. Although she was once the emperor's lover, no one among the nobles in King's Landing knew about her.

However, there are still many people who want to propose to her. After all, Margaery's brother is the Prime Minister, and Margaery herself is of noble blood, beautiful and intelligent.

But for some unknown reason, Viserys has been missing for more than ten years, yet Margaery seems to still be protecting Viserys.

She still fixed time to give alms to the poor in the name of Viserys, and declined the advances of all nobles, as if she wanted to wait for Viserys to return again.

Some people may not be able to understand it at one time, but until one day two years ago, Queen Regent Arianne came to court, reversed time, and suddenly returned to her youthful appearance, shocking the entire King's Landing.

And now Highgarden, known as the 'back garden of the imperial family', has been entrusted to the hands of the second prince Aemon Targaryen.

Highgarden is not the same as the Reach. Only Highgarden, the castle, fell into Aemon's hands. However, Aemon was extremely lucky for having just left the Red Keep.

After all, although his brother Horos obtained Dragonstone Island and theoretically gained the title of Crown Prince, this was only in theory, not even in name.

Moreover, Dragonstone Island is really poor, especially after the few villagers on the island were moved away, there was really nothing left.

However, although the second prince Aemon was enshrined in Highgarden, he was not in Highgarden at the moment. Instead, he was accompanying his mother on the continent of Essos.

The Empire's Eastern Expedition has lasted for ten years, and it has become a heavy burden that drags down the Empire's economy and development. Every year, the Empire invests huge amounts of money in this war.

The war was like a bottomless pit that greedily sucked the vitality of the entire country. Fortunately, the Valyrian Empire was still young enough and had sufficient stamina, so it was not dragged down by this war.

Of course, the ten-year Eastern Expedition was not completely fruitless. Although the situation of increasing bandit suppression still existed in some places, such as the Ghiscari people in Slaver's Bay, in most areas like Volantis and Norse.

Peace has been restored to Foss, Qohor and other places.

The young queen Daenerys led the imperial legion on an expedition to foreign lands for ten years. During these ten years, Daenerys' reputation almost reached the point of being extremely famous on the continent of Essos.

The names "Bloody Queen" and "Shacklebreaker" appear on the same woman at the same time, which indeed reflects Daenerys's own contradictions from another perspective, a combination of kindness and cruelty.

She has kind thoughts and sympathizes with the difficulties of ordinary people, but at the same time she will do anything for her husband.

She had received the gifts from Viserys when he came out of isolation, and she had also heard the rumors that had spread across the continent of Essos in recent years.

During this period, many gods, big and small, in the Essos continent had their statues collapsed one after another and lost contact. Some statues even had blood and tears streaming from their eyes, full of ominous omens, such as the Weeping Lady of Lys.

Although the Imperial Legion has done its best to eradicate the foundation of these gods in the mortal world, in recent years, so many ominous phenomena have occurred collectively, and people have spread rumors that these gods have fallen.

Therefore, the bachelors of the Academy of Literature in Oldtown call this era the "Twilight of the Gods".



And there is indeed a war going on in the sky that is related to the fate of the entire world. This is a war between the gods, and his husband is only one of them.

Daenerys didn't know how much her actions in the mortal world played in this war, but the Imperial Legion still slowed down many of its actions this year because it could no longer sustain it.

Today, there are more than ten legions directly under the empire, each with a standing strength of 30,000 people. Among them, five legions are directly commanded by Daenerys and have experienced hundreds of battles.

They are the First Legion of Pentos, the Tiger Robe Legion of Volantis, the Legion of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, the Ghiscari Shatterbreaker Legion and the Dothraki Steppe Knights, all composed of former slaves.

Daenerys directly commands so many legions scattered across the continent of Essos. If she wants to help her son Aemon seize the Iron Throne, she can do it easily.

However, Viserys had already drawn a red line for this succession battle. His personal safety could not be endangered, and his three wives could not personally intervene.

But despite this, Daenerys is different from Rhaenys who never cared about her son and just stayed on Dragonstone. Rhaenys only has Viserys in her eyes. She and Viserys' son It's quite like an accident.

Therefore, Horos actually worked very hard. He relied on his own ability to win the support of the Riverlands, the Valley and Dorne.

And Daenerys is very good to her son. Although due to responsibility, Daenerys neglected to accompany Aemon when he was young, but when Aemon grew up and came to his mother's side, Daenerys Si still arranged a clear path for her son.

Although Aemon had grown up, Daenerys still asked Bessie Joyce to accept her son as a squire.

Bessie originally did not want to wade into the muddy waters of the fight for the heir, but in the face of Her Majesty the Queen's request, she finally had to agree and took Eamonn by her side as a retainer.

So now Aemon is following Bessie as a servant on the front line of Qohor.
