Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 106 Illyrio's School Exam

Only Illyrio, Ian and Daeron attended the dinner, and the Viserys brothers and sisters were not there, which made Ian a little regretful.

But this was also within his expectation, this was the first day they came before Illyrio, and it was impossible for Illyrio to introduce them to the king so carelessly.

"Are you satisfied with the girl I sent you?" Illyrio asked Ian while breaking off a crab leg, "They were all trained in Yunkai, and the people there created a The art of love, even the king is very pleased with them."

Which cadre can stand this test "I have come to seek glory, and this makes my conscience very condemned." Ian said politely with some embarrassment.

"Hahaha," Illyrio couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, "It's fine if you like it. There are many servants like this in my mansion, and they are good at different things. free access."

Fuck?The complicated moves in the afternoon are just good at one aspect?

I really know why Yunkai can be called the three major city-states of Slavery Bay with Meereen, which produces artisan slaves and gladiators, and Astapor, which produces Unsullied, just by this business alone.
Ian resisted the urge to help his waist, and forcibly changed the topic back to the business.

"Thank you Governor for your generosity. But compared to this, I would like to know when Your Excellency can introduce us to His Majesty?" Although I know that Illyrio cannot do this right away, the request should be made as soon as possible.

"Before that, I want to know why you all want to join King Viserys." Illyrio also restrained his smile when he heard this, and got into the state of talking about business.

"A few months ago, Daeron heard from you that Her Royal Highness is going to marry a powerful horse king, and that horse king agreed to help His Majesty Viserys restore his kingdom.

So he immediately found my elder brother, hoping to make a fortune in the riverland, and then form a small army to join His Majesty in Pentos. "

"So, because of loyalty?" Illyrio narrowed his eyes.

"Because this is an opportunity." Ian shook his head. "In the past ten years or so, we have never tried to find the king and princess wandering in Essos. We dare not flaunt our loyalty."

"You are sincere."

"We came here to gamble on a future. You must know how the false king on the Iron Throne treated our Darry family after the usurper war. We lost most of our territories and properties, as well as the title of earl."

"Our Grafson family was squeezed out and suppressed by the Arryn family, and the royal family's tax rate on the port of Seagull Town has doubled compared to the Targaryen dynasty. This made us not only unable to maintain the navy, but even It is very difficult to maintain the city guard." Daeron also hastily added.

"And after my brother and Daeron's plans were revealed, the Iron Throne took back our family fiefs and killed our relatives.

Only under the Targaryen banner will our family have a chance to be seen again, and we will be crowned with the highest glory, as we all know, we need to see Your Majesty. After Ian finished speaking, he looked at Illyrio.

"How many of you are left?" Illyrio still didn't answer Ian, and changed the subject.

"My forces have been completely wiped out," Daeron replied awkwardly, "but Ian still has 4 knights. They didn't participate in our looting operation."

Illyrio didn't continue talking. He quietly ate what was in his hands, and didn't look at Ian until he finished eating:
"I noticed that your invitation letter is from the cheesemonger Tarobane, who is a snob. I don't know what price you paid for it? You have to turn to him because of my negligence, so it should be I will compensate you."

He knows it all!The moment Illyrio looked at each other, Ian suddenly had this feeling.

Obviously, Darren is still in charge of communicating with him tomorrow!Theoretically, he should regard Daelon as the leader of his group, but from the beginning of today's dinner, Illyrio directly ignored Daeron and talked to himself the whole time.

This means that Illyrio discovered that he is the real core figure, and the only time he showed his identity as a leader after coming to Pentos was when he communicated with Tarobane!
Ian's heart sank, and he quickly thought about how to answer. To be precise, what answer did Illyrio want to hear?
Tarobane must not be betrayed!In the next moment, Ian made a decision.

"No need," Ian shook his head, "That's a fair deal, we don't need any compensation."

Daeron looked at Ian in some surprise, not understanding why Ian would waste such an excellent opportunity, but in the end he wisely did not interrupt.

After Illyrio heard the words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ian knew that he had made the right bet. A person with a sense of honor and a spirit of contract was more worthy of Illyrio's favor than a double-faced guy.

The most important role in the "Aegon VI Restoration Plan" co-operated by Illyrio and Varys, the adoptive father of "Aegon VI", Earl Jon Connington, is such a person.

In the "Battle of the Bells" during the Usurper War, Jon Connington once surrounded Robert Baratheon in Stone Hall Town. Kill Robert Baratheon, thus ending the war.

It's a pity that Jon Clinton didn't do this kind of indiscriminate massacre out of honor considerations, but chose to hunt Robert from house to house, which caused the battle to be delayed until Ed Stark's reinforcements arrived.

In the end, the royal army under Jon Connington was defeated and lost the chance to save the Targaryen dynasty.

And it is that Jon Connington is still entrusted with important tasks by Illyrio, which means that the 'sense of honor' occupies a large proportion of Illyrio's considerations.

"Tarobine traded slaves behind my back and almost brought me trouble, but you chose to cover him?" Illyrio quickly suppressed his smile and put on a serious attitude.

This guy really has found out the truth!

"This..." Ian showed a surprised expression, then lowered his head and decided to pretend to the end, "I promised him not to tell the story, he helped us, I can't betray him."

"A man of honor, are you a knight?"

"Yes, the person who canonized me as a knight is Sir Aris River, who is also my half-brother." Ian nodded and said, there is no proof of death anyway.

"But before you came to Essos, you plundered your own territory. Is this your honor?" Illyrio chuckled.
