Chapter 36
"Your Majesty, you have worked hard in dealing with state affairs, and my father ordered me to visit you." Alison gently saluted the middle-aged man sitting on the Iron Throne.

Looking up, there is a river of spring water.Lunettel and Mestal, the grand scholars next to the throne, turned their backs to her, and did not see her act of putting her thoughts on her face.

King Viserys I lightly raised his hands, gesturing for her to stand up, but ignored her. Instead, he continued to the two bachelors: "How many people have sent letters suggesting that I marry a wife again and establish a national mother?"

"Your Majesty," the aging Lunettel replied, "Almost every nobleman who released the letter crow suggested that, and they asked the most about which nobleman's daughter His Majesty prefers."

"What do you veterans of the Red Castle think?"

"Your Majesty, the Seven Kingdoms cannot live without a king, nor can they live without a queen."

"Then I'm afraid this will be disadvantageous to Rhaenyla's inheritance rights?"

"The princess also has her responsibilities. After she grows up in a few years, the delicate flowers of the kingdom will naturally need a husband."

Viserys' eyes were deep, hidden on the face, but full of helplessness in his heart.

Are these nobles who have united against the rule because of Targaryen inbreeding before, are they really firm believers of the Seven Gods?not necessarily.They wanted the daughters of noble houses to take another high seat in the kingdom, and that was why they were so annoyed when the Targaryen shattered their illusions.

That's what politics is...

Viserys sighed, and continued to ask: "Then do you have a suitable candidate?"

"Eh..." After waiting for a long time, monk Mestal finally spoke.

"The youngest daughter of the Velaryon family, Lanarr, is in her prime, and Earl Corles has sent frequent letters recently, which seems to be intent on bridging the differences with the Iron Throne."

"The Varylian family is indeed a good choice. Chaohead Island is rich and has a strong navy. It is indeed a good choice to marry a child of Rhaenys."

He agreed with his lips, but Viserys was quite displeased in his heart. Rhaenys suppressed him for most of his life. If he married the Sea Snake family, it would be a big disaster.

How to strike a balance...

"Your Majesty, you have a suitable partner in front of you."

Laris Strong, who was waiting by the sidelines, had a slight smile on his feminine face, "Miss Alison Hightower came from a wealthy family in Old Town and is still young. She has served the royal family in the Red Castle for many years. It can be described as a match made in heaven."

Alison Hightower blushed, but King Viserys' answer made her face darken.

"Alison has been with my daughter Rhaenyla for so many years, how can I marry her as queen?"

In fact, what Viserys was thinking was that Hightower might be a threat to the heir to the throne, and neither of them was a good candidate!well.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Princess Rhaenila has grown into a real dragon, and she has governed King's Landing submissively recently. The townspeople all praise the majesty of the royal family!" Alison thought for a while, and could only praise Rhaenila.

"Now the princess is still building a factory outside the city, doing a lot of fortifications, and the royal family is getting more and more money. With such an heir, many nobles really envy you."

"Yes, Her Royal Highness opened up the treasury, and the royal family has received a lot of money, which can be regarded as making up for her recent actions." Laris Strong's words were hidden in the cotton, secretly setting a bad tone for Rhaenyla's behavior.

"But Rhaenyla didn't move her property to the Red Castle." Alison sang along with Laris with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Sir Laris." A voice came from outside the door, "You seem to be concerned about King's Landing finances?" Rhaenyla walked in.

"Father" Rhaenila saluted first, and then continued to say to Laris, "A confessor, who doesn't understand the country's finances, and the people's livelihood, I think Lord Beesbury should abdicate and let this Lord Laris, come to the Imperial Council to discuss matters."

Laris is a small confessor in the Red Castle, and his ability to speak in front of the Iron Throne is the result of his reluctance to leave just now.

After a burst of sarcasm from Rhaenila, even though he was thick-skinned, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

Looking at the pitiful Alison in front of everyone, Rhenila looked her up and down, and then said, "I am relieved that Alison is here, hehe, when my great-grandfather King Renrui was alive, he loved me the most. I have a female companion, and I often call her into the palace to accompany her, saying that she has a melodious singing voice, and I can’t do without him every day, and now I’m singing for the Iron Throne again, it’s not a disgrace to the talent!"

"Junlin has two great talents, they are really like crouching dragons and phoenix chicks, and they can secure the hearts of the Seven Kingdoms!" Rhaenyla had an admiration on her face.

"Ha...cough cough" The young Mestal seemed unable to hold back, and used a low cough to cover up his laughter just now.

Seeing Viserys looking at her with reproachful eyes, Rhaenyla said, "Father, my son has something to report."

Viserys signaled to step back, and everyone left the conference room. Alison's footsteps were in a hurry. Rhaenyla's taunt just now hit her, and all the veterans in the Red Castle knew the story of her accompanying King Renrui.

Seeing the last person closing the gate, Ranila asked, "Is the father going to marry a bride and be his successor?"

Viserys sighed on the Iron Throne, "Rhaenyra, you are now the crown prince and my heir, and you should also know the responsibility of sitting on this iron chair."

"Father, when did the responsibility of the monarch become a compromise to show favor to the great nobles, isn't it to protect the country and the people?"

"Rhaenyra!" Viserys said with a hint of sternness in his tone, "If I don't show favor to them, how can I sit on the Iron Throne? If it wasn't for your great-grandfather to win over the nobles, the person on this throne is still May. The offspring of Gor Targaryen!"

"If Maegor can do a little bit of love for the people and be diligent in governing affairs, he will not end up being betrayed." Rhaenyla shook her head. Maegor is a monarch, but a tyrant who will not be in power for long, take back Although the church was right to arm, he did not make the Seven Kingdoms better. On the contrary, he became more cruel to his subjects, and in the end the people lost their hearts.

"Father, I have heard that in the distant Yidu, someone established a dynasty. The monarch once swore an oath. He said, no marriage, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the emperor guards the gate, and the king dies. !
I think he's right, the Targaryens shouldn't all be tickets to the game of thrones for nobles! "

"Rhaenila, your wings are stiff now? You don't listen to what your father said."

"Father" Rhaenila said sincerely, "You are the best father, you have protected me, shielded me from the wind and rain for my succession, and swept away the stubborn rocks under my feet."

"But I don't think you are happy, at least on the throne, I haven't seen you smile."

Viserys' face froze with anger, and he planned to continue to discipline his daughter who talked back, but now he didn't know what to say.
