Game of Thrones: The Strongest Guoguang

Chapter 9 Oath Knight My Basic Disk

"Good day, Your Royal Highness," a knight in white armor said to Rhaenyla in the corridor of the Red Castle.

Ser Harold Westerling was a knight of House Westerling and Captain of the Kingsguard to King Viserys I.

Harold took over the captaincy from the legendary knight and former captain of the Kingsguard, Ser Rhian Redwyne, who died this year.

"Good day, Sir, and thank you and the Sworn Brothers for your loyalty to the Iron Throne."

The Kingsguard is the sharp knife in the king's hand, and they are sworn brothers. The banner of the Kingsguard is seven white swords surrounding a crown. They are protected by Aegon the Conqueror of the Targaryen family. The elite guards created are often praised by the people as "white knights" or "white robes".

They took an oath to live until death; to continue to serve even when they were old, disabled, or mentally broken.The Royal Guards do not hold land, marry wives, or have children, and are only loyal to their monarch.

The Kingsguard's first duty is to protect the king from harm and threats, but strictly speaking, whether the Kingsguard protects others - even the royal family - depends on the king's personal wishes.Some kings took it for granted that they would send iron guards to protect their queens, children, siblings, and even cousins, and would even send iron guards to protect their lovers, mistresses, or illegitimate children.But other kings will choose to let the royal knights and soldiers complete these tasks, and keep the seven iron guards around forever to serve.

Given Viserys I's affection for the queen, the iron guards would naturally be sent to protect the queen and Rhaenyla, so that Christon Cole, the new white knight, had become Rhaenyla's personal a long time ago. guard.

But the white knight does not mean that it is completely credible, as a white knight of Dany, the mother of dragons, said,

"Barristan Selmy was no nerd, but he used to read the Codex and look up the deeds of his predecessors. Some of them were heroes, others were weaklings, liars, or cowards, but most were mere mortals - quicker and stronger than their peers, Sword and shield skills are better, but they will inevitably fall victim to pride, ambition, lust, love, anger and jealousy, and will still covet wealth, desire power, or commit other sins that torment mortals. The best of them can still abstain from self-denial , do their duty, die with a sword; and those who have fallen... the fallen participate in the game of thrones."

Generally speaking, there are still a small number of white knights who betray their own monarchs. The idols of most youths in the Seven Kingdoms are legendary knights, and most of these people are also white knights. This is the knight culture unique to Westeros. The nobles therefore Pride, like the tradition of pious belief in the Seven Gods.

Rhaenira did not throw Christon Cole to feed the dragon indiscriminately because of this consideration. One is because Cole's betrayal has not yet started, and the other is because she cannot kill the white knight, the knight Culture has far-reaching influence in the main culture of Westeros. Like guest rights and sacred marriage contracts, it is an inviolable value orientation. But that is a special situation in troubled times, and those who violate these secular rules have paid a certain price, such as Rhaegar Targaryen and Robb Stark, the former abducted in the wrong spring The Rose of Winterfell, Lyanna, triggers Robert Baratheon's War of the Usurper, who enters the Red Wedding and ruins a family of wolf spirits...

Interestingly, the Westerlings of Harold's birth are the family of the girl that Robb Stark will fall in love with and therefore betray the sacred marriage contract-Jianne.

This is a famous family with a long history in the western region. Its fiefdom is in the city of Cliff Rock. The family motto is "honor, not name". Viserys I trusted him very much.

Harold's life in the original book is dedicated to the court, especially to Rhaenyra.He'd known her since she was born, and when the Green and Black Dragons started a civil war, he didn't hesitate in the end.

In addition to this Sir Westerling, there are three sworn brothers who will swear allegiance to Rhaenyla after the death of the father King Viserys I, not only Viserys I's Kingsguard, but also Rhaenyra's Queen Tiewei fought bloody for her until death, all sacrificed in his position.

Among them was Ser Stephen Darklyn, who fled King's Landing before Rhaenyra's brother Aegon II usurped the Iron Throne for coronation.He fled overnight with his squire, two stewards, four bodyguards, and Viserys' crown to prepare for Rhaenyra's coronation.

This Sir Ducklin was born in the kingship, and was the uncle of Gunthor Ducklin, Earl of Duskendale Town. The Ducklin family is also a firm and loyal royal party.

In fact, basically all the nobles and nobles in the kingdom are loyal to the Iron Throne and the last wish of Viserys I. They are willing to fight for the princess, which can be said to be Rhaenyla's most solid backing, such as Mugu Town, Stone Dance City and so on.

Rhaenila has always regarded the kingship as her base, unless she made a big death and made the world angry, otherwise the nobles here are all sympathetic to the underworld.

It is Rhaenyla's preliminary plan to manage King's Landing, get rid of the nails of the Hightower family and other careerists in King's Landing, and then radiate the entire kingdom. This is also the grand strategy in the game of power.If you advance, you can contact your cousin Aylin's family, form an alliance with the northern border, help level the river, point your sword at the river bay, and retreat from the stormy land. If you retreat, you can stick to King's Landing and keep the success and support, making Haitoer's dragon slaying plan difficult to implement.

Instead of being in King's Landing all day long like the original owner, the vacuum of power was taken away by other Targaryens, which originally belonged to the precious wealth left to her by her father in the kingdom for so many years.

As for why I said that, it was because the princess lost the hearts of the people because of her death. She was originally very loved...

"When Prince Daemon calls, the people of the river rise. Whether knight, soldier, or humble farmer, most of them remember the King's beloved Light of the Kingdom, and her maiden cruises along the Trident Hundreds, and then thousands, of Riverlanders strapped their swords and mail mail, or grabbed pitchforks, hoes, and simple wooden shields, and flocked to Harrenhal to serve to fight the precious daughter of Siris."

In addition, the same is true among nobles. Rhaenyla is also a white moonlight in the hearts of many nobles.

"The lords of the Three Rivers were more concerned about gains and losses. At first, they were reluctant to respond rashly, but the general trend, they soon fell to Queen Rhaenyla one after another. Ser Forrest Frey came to help out from the Twin Rivers. He is exactly The "fool Frey" who proposed to Rhaenyla back then has grown into a majestic knight. Lord Samwell Blackwood raised Rhaenyla's banner in Raventree City. He once lost the fight for her token (the winner, Ser Amos Bracken, instead followed his father and led House Bracken to Aegon). Besides, the Mootons of Maidenpool, the Pipers of Pink City, and the Roots of Holroway , the Darry family of Darry City, the Mallister family of Sea Front City, and the Vance family of Travel's Rest (the Vance family of Aran City is different, they support the young king) also announced their support for Rhaenyra. Petyr Piper, old Lord Lord of the city, said what many felt: "I swore to her by the sword.I am old now, but not old enough to forget my vows, and the sword is still in my hand. "

This is the political legacy left by the father and king to his children.The father of the Hightower family sacrificed his daughter for political gain, but the father of the Targaryen family has always provided shelter for his daughter.

I declare that the match was slain by Viserys I! !
Rhaenyla couldn't help laughing.

As long as you stay steady and don't waver, life-saving seems to be very successful...
