Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 125 Persuasion
"It's hard for me to convince myself to forgive those conspirators, Cole." The king sat at the desk and shook his head.

"The kingdom is on the verge of collapse, Your Majesty." Cole continued to try to convince him.

Stannis was silent for a while before speaking, "I am responsible to the country, the boys, girls, men and women of Westeros, I am responsible to them."

"If the Dothraki and the ironborn are allowed to go ashore, there will be a bloody storm in Westeros. They only have plunder and killing in their eyes."

How could Stannis not know their natures? The ironmen have always had a bad reputation, and the Dothraki are not far behind.

"What conditions did they ask you?"

"Tyrion Lannister's letter only mentions the wedding invitation. Tyrion is going to marry Sansa of the Stark family, and Joffrey will marry Margaery Tyrell soon after."

"Does Eddard Stark know that his daughter is marrying?" the king continued.

"I think he should know by now."

"Starks, Tyrells, Lannisters and Martells," said the king in a self-deprecating tone.

He stood up, "Go and see Shireen, I'll be alone for a while."

Looking at the dark night outside the window, the knock on the door rang again after a while.

"Your Majesty." It was Davos Seaworth, the onion knight.

"You let me down, smuggler." The king turned his back on him. "I should have punished you, but Cole interceded for you. He said you were the most loyal knight, but you were only deceived."

Davos bowed his head in shame, he was extremely resentful of his ignorance at the moment. "I know that I have sinned deeply, Your Majesty."

"I didn't call you here to hear your self-blaming words. I made you the Hand of the King because I wanted to hear your advice. Please tell me the truth, what is the king's duty? Sir." The king turned Come over.

"The king's business is the state, Your Majesty. The sovereign protects his subjects and his kingdom," Davos replied without thinking.

"Have you read that letter again?" the king asked him.

"Yes." Davos had the maester read to him, and Axell Florent took only a passage to tell him.

"Corre suggested that I temporarily truce against King's Landing. He said that Dragonstone and Storm's End were not strong enough to hold back the enemy from across the Narrow Sea. Who was the enemy? The Lannisters were, and so were the Dothraki, which made me It's hard to choose."

"Your Majesty, what would happen if you put the carriage in front of the horse?" Onion Knight asked suddenly.

"The cart before the horse, smuggler."

Davos nodded slightly, "Your country needs your salvation, Your Majesty. When the mad king Elis was in trouble, it was your brother Robert who defeated him and saved the Seven Kingdoms from fire and water, so the world is willing to call him To be king. You should win the throne by the country, not the country by the throne."

Surprise flashed across Stannis' face, and Davos' words made him fall into deep thought.

Davos was right, he was crazy about chasing power and the Iron Throne, and even almost lost his duty.Melisandre prophesied "Heroes born from boiling seas, dragons hatched from inorganic stones, swords of light drawn from flames." These prophecies all pointed to him.

This is the mission given to him by fate. Although he never asked for anything, he has to shoulder his own responsibilities.

"Everyone must do his duty, Smuggler," said the King to him. "Remember your duty."

Not far from Cole's study in the castle, the red-robed woman blocked his way again.

He walked straight over, but was stopped by her body, "The night is dark, sir."

Cole snorted coldly, turned and left.

"Ants can no more read the words of men than men can read the omens of the gods," she said to Cole. "I sometimes take warnings for prophecies, and prophecies for warnings, and I apologize, ser."

"I'm not interested in your gods and prophecies, ma'am." Cole said without looking back.

He made a detour, the castle was full of statues of various monsters, Cole didn't know why Aegon the Conqueror collected these things, it looked eerie.

Shireen was not in Aegon Gardens, they were learning to read with Maester Pylos.

Edric Storm was the first to spot Cole when he pushed the door open.

"We're studying history, brother-in-law." He picked up the book.

"A history of the conquests of Aegon the Conqueror," said Shireen.

Edric jumped up beside him, "You were amazing that day."

Although the two children were protected by the guards, they quickly evacuated the scene with them.

"Who did you learn your sword skills from? Can you use a hammer? They didn't hurt you, did they?" Edric asked around him.

"There are too many questions, and I can't answer them for a while." Cole smiled and stopped.

Cole greeted the maester, then sat down in a chair and answered a few of his questions.

"A hammer is stronger than a sword, brother-in-law. Why don't you try it?"

"I'll give it a try if I get the chance."

Cole talked to them about history, and he had read a lot about Aegon the Conqueror on the Wall.

Conquering the three dragons has always been popular. I heard that the skeleton of Balerion, the Black Death God, is in King's Landing. Cole really wanted to go and see it. I wondered how much Caesar's physique was worse than Balerion's.

According to the books, Balerion spread his wings and could cover half of the sky in King's Landing. Think about how terrifying it is, and only this kind of monster can roam the Seven Kingdoms.

"There are dragons on Dragonstone," Edric said suddenly. "Someone saw it. They said it was a white dragon flying towards the castle."

He and Shirene searched all morning, but they didn't see any trace of the dragon on the castle.

After Caesar flew into the clouds, he hid himself.

They were already prepared to be exposed. If Stannis hadn't woken up suddenly, it is estimated that Cole would have flown away on the dragon.

There must be many people who have seen his traces, but who knows the truth of a legendary creature like a dragon?

Just like someone saw a mermaid, others said they saw a sea dragon.

Caesar hovered in the air, and only flew towards the sea after confirming that Cole was not in danger.

There are far fewer human traces on the sea than on land, so he found an uninhabited island as a shelter.

Except foraging for food, Caesar spends most of his time sleeping.

Of course there are times when Cole urges him to exercise.

Caesar's mind is like a newborn child, ignorant and full of curiosity about everything.

Sometimes he is playful, but fortunately, he has Cole's supervision.

One dragon and one person have the same soul, one is prosperous and the other is prosperous, and the other is damaged.

It will take some time to raise the dragon. Although the current Caesar has begun to have combat power, it is still far from the conqueror of the three dragons.

Caesar is his last and most important hole card.He wasn't like Aegon and Dragon Ma, who had three dragons.
