Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 241 How Ian Can Act?
The next morning, the three envoys of Ghis arrived outside the pyramid where Ian lived on time, and they were going to visit the only important minister of Westeros who might shake the Queen's will.

"Grazdan, I thought about it all night yesterday, and I always felt that the more I thought about it, the more wrong it was." Reg saw Yunkai's Grazdan, and immediately pulled him aside.

Although the factions of the two are wrong and their interests are inconsistent, in the game between the three major city-states and the Westeros, Reg believes that Grazdan's ideas still have certain reference value.

"Think about it, since the queen rejected Earl Darry's request to use troops, why did they let us inspect their army yesterday?" Reg continued, "If she planned to see off the guests from the beginning, there is no need to do so. Such a superfluous thing, right?"

"Haha." Grazdan couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at? This question is serious, I tell you, I doubt it now."

"I laugh at you for discovering this problem now," Grazdan spread his hands, "I know what you are suspicious of. I have been so suspicious for a long time, and I also verified it after I left Earl Darry's study yesterday."

"What do you mean?" Reg asked puzzled.

"Queen Daenerys and Earl Darry did quarrel yesterday, and many people saw the public quarrel," Grazdan explained, "and the time was when we were watching the drill of the Astapor army in the Punishment Square.

At that time, Earl Darry had already arrived at the Punishment Square, but he was called back to the pyramid by the queen's edict on the way, and then the earl had a quarrel with the queen.

The queen was angry that Earl Darry made such an important decision without consulting her in advance, which made her feel that she was not respected, so she rudely rejected the earl's decision. "

"Didn't Earl Darry discuss it with the little queen?" Reg asked in surprise.

"As far as I know, most things are not. The whip of the Unsullied is in his hands. The nobles in Astapor are also conquered by his charm. In short, as the Queen's Hand, he almost handles it alone. everything."

"So why does he care what the queen thinks?"

"Yes, I was also puzzled at first, but soon I found the answer from the sailors who came to Slaver's Bay with them. The surname Darry."

Reg didn't make a sound, just quietly waiting for Grazdan to speak.

"Earl Darry's father's generation had five brothers, three of whom died in a battle for Queen Daenerys' eldest brother, and the fourth fled with Queen Daenerys and her second brother Essos, who took care of them until his death. Earl Darry's father was executed not long ago by the current king on the Iron Throne for secretly supporting the Targaryen family.

There are four brothers in the earl's own generation. Two of his older brothers died in battle to join the Targaryen family, and the younger brother was wiped out by the usurper. Now you still wonder why Earl Darry is in power Staying true to that little queen? "

"No," Reg shook his head with a sneer. "For a person born in this kind of family, if you cut his throat, what comes out may not be blood, but loyalty."

"However." Reg continued, "You know this in too much detail, right? It's almost as if you saw it with your own eyes."

"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I got the news from people who saw it with my own eyes." Grazdan showed a smug smile, "I only spent a little gold, and the queen's maid became my eyes."

"So you don't think the quarrel between Queen Daenerys and Lord Darry was a joke?"

"Impossible!" Grazdan changed into a firm tone this time, "At that time, Queen Daenerys was in the presence of Lord Darren Grafson, Lord of the Sea, Celia, Minister of Finance, and Captain of the Kingsguard. Earl Darry was reprimanded by Keyes and Dorian, the commander of the imperial army, including Dorian the Black Falcon.

We all know how much this kind of public reprimand from the king can affect a courtier. If this is a scene, the experienced Earl Darry will definitely not choose such a way that will seriously damage his prestige.In contrast, it is more believable that the queen, who was young and ignorant, made such a move unintentionally out of anger. "

"Your Excellencies, Earl Darry invites you." Just as Reg was about to say something, an Unsullied came in front of them.

So, they stopped talking, followed Unsullied into the pyramid, and then went all the way to Ian's study.

Completely different from yesterday's mess, Ian's study has regained a solemn atmosphere at this moment.Those broken decorations have been replaced with new ones, and the smell of wine in the room has also become a smell of natural spices.

"Welcome, my friends." Ian stood up to greet the three envoys after they entered the door. "Actually, I should have gone to find you. Regarding the cancellation of the alliance, I should apologize to you in person."

The most obvious change was Earl Darry himself. He had swept away his slump after drinking, and turned back into the young man the messengers had seen before, humble, polite and majestic.

As if nothing happened yesterday.

"My lord, you are welcome," Reg said first. He was worried that Mazdahan's idiot would mention Ian's drunkenness yesterday. "The cancellation of the alliance is not your fault. You just chose to obey the king's order."

And anyway, after the purpose of Xin Jisi was exposed, Reg has also become the leader of the three messengers, so it is not impossible for him to lead the dialogue.

"What really makes me sorry is that we have caused you trouble. Khal Drogo came after us, but now we cannot be at the forefront of fighting them. If the Dothraki are in Skahazaban If there is a massacre in the river basin, my conscience and sense of honor will be condemned for life." Ian said with his head down.

"Perhaps there is still room for maneuver in this matter." Reg said hastily.

"Government? Oh no, you may not know that Her Majesty's will is very firm. She said that she would not agree to this action, and she would never agree." Ian said with a smile,

"You don't know about Targaryen. It is often said that every time a Targaryen is born, God flips a coin to decide whether he is crazy or great. But whether it is a crazy Targaryen or a great Targaryen, they Paranoia runs in their blood."

"Impossible?" Reg confirmed to Ian.

"Nothing is so absolute, it's just that I can't think of a way to convince her yet."
