Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 133 Khal Drogo's Banquet ([-])
"As you can see, Mister Yada is serving me now, and I am going to dedicate him to His Majesty Viserys and make him one of His Majesty's Kingsguard." Daeron took the words, "So, if You want Mr. Yada to fight for you, maybe you can ask His Majesty for his opinion later."

"Viserys?" Hazan said, looking at Ambassador Oranto.

Hazan had never dealt with that beggar king, but he had heard a lot of negative rumors about Viserys, and he always regarded it as a joke in his heart. He didn't expect that he would beg him one day. .

However, before Oranto could respond, Ian said to Daeron in a voice that was deliberately lowered but just enough for Oranto and Hazan to hear: "Governor Illyrio reminded us not to participate in the Pentos faction. anything about it."

"Earl Darry, I admit that I admire you very much. I am convinced by your wisdom and talent, so for a long time before, I have almost played the role of your subordinate," Darren looked at Iraq. Well, he said very seriously, "But at this moment I must remind you that we are the vassals of His Majesty Viserys, not Governor Illyrio."

"It's not a conflict." Ian retorted 'subconsciously', then quickly stopped, and stretched out a hand to Daeron's shoulder, "We'll talk about these things later, and I will explain them clearly to you."

However, Daeron patted Ian's hand away with a 'slap', and his attitude was very firm: "In any case, on this issue, I only obey the orders of His Majesty Viserys."

Ian's face darkened immediately, and he responded with 'extreme reluctance' to meet the gazes from all around him: "Of course, if this is His Majesty's wish, I will use my life to carry it out," After speaking, Ian added again, "However, Governor Illyrio is His Majesty's most important ally, and I believe His Majesty will not ignore the Governor's wishes."

Hearing Ian's words, Prince Hazan's eyes lit up instantly as if he had been inspired by something.

Immediately, he remembered the cheesemonger Taro Byrne who had given Ian the invitation letter to the two of them at the time, and the overrated evaluation of Ian. traces of performance.

It's a pity that he didn't get anything. Ian's eyes were full of anxiety and embarrassment, and there was no sense of cunning that he expected.

"But what if His Majesty's will is inconsistent with His Excellency the Viceroy's?" Daeron continued to ask, coupled with the gazes of the surrounding Pentos nobles who had just watched Ian's oath ceremony to Viserys, it directly made Ian fall into "riding a tiger". 'The situation.

"Then I am naturally loyal to His Majesty." Ian replied 'forced'.

Daeron nodded when he got a satisfactory answer.

"Earl Ian Darry," Ambassador Oranto said until the conversation between Ian and Daeron was over, "I can assure you that Illyrio will not raise any objections to this, let alone Make it difficult for you."

Ian was a little surprised, because according to his speculation, Ambassador Oranto should have an opposing relationship with the people behind Illyrio in the Braavos faction.

But Oranto's words were so certain that Ian had to wonder if his speculation was biased, or there was something hidden in it that he didn't know.

"I hope so." Ian didn't ask, maintaining a polite attitude, but his emotions were obviously not too high.

Ambassador Oranto stopped talking, but took the opportunity to continue talking with the water dancer Yada.

At this point, Ian breathed a sigh of relief, because his first stage performance was over.Even if Illyrio asked his spies about the details of the incident afterwards, he always stood on Illyrio's side. As for the final statement, he had no other choice.

From now on, it all depends on whether Prince Hazan and Oranto understand the hint he just made, and whether they can convince Viserys.

The conversation between Illyrio and the others didn't last long with Drogo, and soon they returned to their original positions with Dany.

Oranto and Hazan didn't go up to greet them directly, but let Daelon and Jorah, who had been waiting for a long time, go forward and swear allegiance.

Watching their allegiance ceremony, Ian suddenly felt someone tug on his sleeve. He turned around and saw Dani's nervous little face.

"Your Royal Highness." Ian saluted slightly.

"Sir." Dany replied unskillfully. She had learned the etiquette of Westeros, but she had never had the chance to use it.

"You are my brother's knight now, right?" Dany asked softly, with a hint of hope in her violet eyes.

"It's also your knight, Your Highness." Ian flattered habitually, but when he saw the joy that Dani showed at the moment after hearing this sentence, he suddenly felt a little complicated and couldn't express it. Just an instinctive discomfort, which he didn't feel when he was cheating on Viserys.

But it's just uncomfortable. For Ian, who has been in the world of ice and fire for almost three months, the bottom line is no longer in his dictionary.

To paraphrase a famous quote from someone who doesn't quite fit the quote, lying, cheating and stealing is the essence of Game of Thrones.

"Are you Uncle William's relatives? You are all from the Darry family?" Dany has no impression of the Darry family, she only remembers the burly gray bearded man, when the rebel fleet invaded Dragonstone and began to slaughter , it was Ser William Darry who led four dead men into the nursery, rescued her and her brother, and took them to Braavos.

Along with it came the fondest memories of Dany's whole childhood. Dany still remembered the red painted gate of the big house in Braavos, and the lemon tree outside her bedroom window.

"Yes," Ian replied, "but I don't actually have an impression of him." This is true. Ian's impression of that knight only stays in the memories of Dany he read in the book, but he wants to Okay, explain, "I was too young when the usurper war happened, and I didn't even know what happened. The only thing I have in common with them is the loyalty that runs in my blood."

"Yes, Uncle William is a loyal knight." Dany nodded in agreement, "You are too."

Dany apparently trusted Ian, even though they were on the run, all the way from Braavos to Myr, from Myr to Tyrosh, then to Quech, Volantis and Lys, and finally to Pentos Only then did they really settle down.

Her brother always said that the assassins of the usurper were after them, but Dany had never seen one of them, so she was not suspicious.

Moreover, Ian feels very kind to her. This kindness comes from the preconceived senses brought by the loyal surname Darry on the one hand, and on the other hand, Ian rescued her from Viserys' Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon before.
Although Ian just came to swear allegiance to Viserys, Dany clearly remembered that Ian was still on the sidelines at the time, but he walked quickly after seeing her being bullied by Viserys.

It was saving her, she knew it.
