Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 175 Pentos Rhapsody ([-])

The carriage stopped at the gate of the White Cat Inn.

Ian didn't stop at all, he directly opened the curtain, boarded the carriage, hugged Daenerys who was tightly wrapped in a red robe, and let Case carry Viserys' body on his back.

"You stay here and don't let anyone in." Ian ordered the remaining Unsullied.

The Unsullied have never had any doubts about such orders, which seemed to harm their master Illyrio at all, and could only obey.

So, Ian left behind the last group of Unsullied, and led the others into the inn.

After passing through the messy inn lobby, Ian and the others left through the back door of the inn.

There, 'Black Falcon' Dorian and Bronn were waiting on the spot with more than 30 people, and beside them, a carriage for ordinary merchants was also prepared.

Seeing Ian appear, Dorian hurried up to meet him.

"We have spread the news all over the port according to your instructions, and now the ships in the port of Pentos are scrambling to escape, and the whole port is in chaos." He reported the situation to Ian, and then pointed to the servant behind him. soldiers,
"These people are all trusted old subordinates we brought from Westeros. I have dismissed all the other people recruited in Pentos."

Ian nodded to him, and then ordered: "Burn this inn too."

Afterwards, Ian put the bodies of Daenerys and Viserys on a new carriage, and led everyone to the port.

Under the gazes of countless people, both open and secret, the gate of the Palace of Parliament finally reopened.

Under the protection of a team of guards, an eunuch boarded the high platform outside the parliament palace and announced the result of the resolution of the great council.

It is only two short sentences.

First, Governor Gloro Tetrus was accused of treason, and the Great Council announced that he would be executed and deprived of all property and power of the Tetrus family.

Second, Prince Trigg Mohararis was murdered by Governor Gloro Tetrus, and the Great Council elected Hazan Mohararis as the new Prince of Pentos.

After the results were announced, one stone caused a thousand waves.

The bloody setting sun reflected the firelight in the port.

Thousands of sailors fled to the port from the inns in the surrounding blocks. Illyrio's harbor guards could not stop such a huge chaos. They could only shrink the defense line back into the tower and let the sailors go.

Mixed among the sailors, Ian and his party arrived at the dock area without attracting anyone's attention.

The uproar all around muffled the sobbing of Daenerys in the carriage.

For as long as Daenerys can remember, she's been avoiding assassins her whole life, and even though she's never actually seen one, she knows it's her brother who's protecting her (at least that's what he says).

But just now, my brother died at the hands of the assassin, right in front of my eyes.

Daenerys felt her whole world collapse when the crossbow shot into Viserys' chest.

Although Viserys later became so selfish, irritable and cruel, Dany would think of the warmth of childhood every time after arousing the wrath of the sleeping dragon, and then forgive her brother.

Although he decided to marry himself to Khal Drogo.

Even though he would never be able to return home, at least he could go back, right?

He can bring brave and loyal knights like Ian to overthrow the tyranny of the usurper and save the people of Westeros.

But now?What to do now?
Daenerys doesn't know.

She just felt cold all over, maybe it was a fever?She didn't know either.

She was half lying in the carriage, holding something tightly in her hands, curled up into a ball.

Suddenly, she heard Ian's voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

'There is no more Your Majesty! ' cried Dany in her heart, 'Viserys is dead and never coming back!You can't go home either!I'm sorry we couldn't help you.'

Immediately, Daenerys' sobbing became louder.

"Your Grace," continued Ian's voice, "my queen." Finally, he changed the name.

"Queen?" Daenerys opened her eyes in doubt. She suppressed sobbing and raised her head. Her violet eyes looked at Ian.

Only then did she realize that she was hanging on Ian's body like an octopus, and the thing she was holding in her dream before was actually him.

Suddenly, her blushing face instantly turned into a ripe apple.

But she didn't let go, instead, like a drowning person grabbing a wooden board, her hand tightened a bit.

"King Viserys is dead, and you are our queen," Ian explained, ignoring her embarrassment.

"Queen?" Daenerys whispered again.

"King Viserys is dead, and now you are the last Targaryen blood, the last true dragon, you must lead us to take back the Iron Throne and the lost kingdom, and now all this becomes your responsibility." Ian His tone became firmer.

"My...responsibility?" Daenerys shook her head subconsciously, "But, I'm going to marry that horse king soon, I"

"You will not marry him, and we will soon leave Pentos!"

"Why?" Daenerys was still in a state of brain failure at the moment.

"Because the khal's wife must live in his kalsa, and you must lead us back to Westeros, and you must be our queen, those duties that you have heard, that your brother has told you , now it all falls on your shoulders."

"Me? I can't do it." Dany quickly shook her head again, "I don't know anything."

"I can teach you." Ian showed a gentle smile.

This is one of the core reasons why he finally decided to take Daenerys away.

It is true that this girl often gives people the impression of being overly kind, idealistic, naive, stubborn and self-willed, but in fact the latter points are all developed in her growth process.

This could have been avoided if she had more qualified staff.

The pity of Daenerys is that she never learned how to be a king like the real crown prince, but she was only 16 years old when she became Queen of Meereen at the age of less than 16 years old. Rule with reliable advisers.

It is not an exaggeration to have no reliable counselors, Gray Worm is an Unsullied officer, and in his world there is only obedience, and Jorah and Barristan, throughout her reign, have offered almost all advice. It's a bad idea.

For example, Jorah suggested that she sell the dragon eggs and go to the East with herself, but in the end Daenerys hatched her own dragon.

For example, Barristan suggested that she treat the slave owners fairly. They abolished the slaves in Slaver’s Bay, and at the same time wanted to reconcile with the slave owners. This series of actions brought them endless rebellions and got them into deep trouble. middle.

After counselors gave bad ideas time and time again, her insistence against all opinions proved to be the right choice.

After she listened to the counselor's advice time and time again, but got bad results.

How can she not become stubborn and conceited?
Daenerys couldn't trust the group of half-canned water under her, and sometimes she was so embarrassed that she needed to ask the little translator Missandei for advice, but what advice could Missandei, a slave trained as a translator, give her?
Missandei could only tell her: 'Do what you want to do. ’ to increase her confidence in her own ideas.

Faced with any problem, Daenerys could only think of a way on her own. She finally even came up with the stupid trick of marrying the nobles of Meereen. Perhaps she had never considered that after marrying the nobles of Meereen, if she really got what she wanted Having stabilized the situation in Meereen, how can she return to rule Westeros?How would the people of Westeros accept a queen with a foreign husband?

And if this doesn't allow her to stabilize the situation in Meereen, and the final civil war will still break out, why does she need to marry?
No one can tell her the answers to these questions, she has no advisers, and she is only 16 years old.

But now, everything will be different.

Because she was still young, she hadn't experienced the days of being Carrissie, and she hadn't developed the bad habits of those in power.

Nor did she experience the later betrayals and betrayals, as well as the success she gained because of her stubbornness.

Daenerys is very malleable now. As Varys said, people can be shaped, and Ian has the confidence to reshape the queen according to his own will.

In other words, from this moment on, the name of the story will change from the Dragon Queen and her wronged vassals to my cultivation line Loli Dragon King.

"And you have to do it," Ian continued, "because you have the blood of the true dragon on your body, you are the last Targaryen, and this is your birthright."
