Game of Thrones: I'm flying a dragon on your face, how do you respond?
Chapter 22: Testing
Relying on the name of Prince Jaehaerys, the drawbridge on the top of the city was lowered, the iron gate was opened, and Jaehaerys requisitioned a stallion from the golden cloaks guarding the city, and then headed towards the Red Castle under the escort of several rowers.
As for why the soldiers guarding the city were not requisitioned, Jaehaerys said that if a few unarmed rowers rebelled, he would have a good chance of escaping with his sharp sword and fast horse, but in front of fully armed soldiers, that would be worrying.
Fortunately, these rowers were stabilized by one gold dragon each, and for them, one gold dragon was enough for their families to survive this difficult period.
Even if they didn't have a family, it didn't matter. One gold dragon was now enough for them to go to the seafood merchant's restaurant and have a good time. Think about it, there are beauties from all over the world there, and changing one a day can also play with seafood merchants from the Seven Kingdoms, Lys, and the Summer Islands.
Jaehaerys rode in the middle, scanning the surroundings with his spiritual sense. As it was late at night, there were not many good people walking on the streets except pickpockets and thieves. The golden robes also stood on the city wall because of the tense situation. They were really helpless in the shadows.
Some people hid in the shadows and peeked, and some looked out from the half-covered door frame, but they were wise not to intercept this "large" team.
Although the weakest in this team was the most capable, people were accustomed to judging the strength of the force by the strength or weakness of the body, so the several muscular rowers in Jaehaerys' team dispelled the terrible thoughts of the people in the shadows.
After successfully arriving at the Red Castle, Jaehaerys decisively paid the rowers' fees, one gold dragon per person. This money made them excited and knelt down to praise the prince's kindness.
Although the guards of the Red Castle were curious about why Prince Jaehaerys had returned, they still welcomed him into the city. Some even joked that he couldn't let go of the "beauties" in the prince's residence.
It was precisely because they were familiar with him that the guards treated him differently from other royal family members. To them, Jaehaerys was a prince who could pee and make dirty jokes together, just like the legendary "promiscuous prince" Daemon. God knows why such a young child is more skilled than them in talking about sex jokes?
If it weren't for this damn rebellion, perhaps when Prince Jaehaerys grew up, he would be in charge of the capital garrison like Prince Daemon!
Jaehaerys was not annoyed by the teasing, which was also his purpose. The Celestial Empire has its own national conditions. It is easier to do things when you are familiar with people, although it is also due to his own personality.
"Sir Brawne, you must take good care of your mare, the big horse under my crotch is very hot!"
"Old Hart, you actually drank secretly, well, I caught you!"
"Sir Thorne, I heard that your wife gave birth to a big fat boy for you? Congratulations, I will definitely give you a big gift on the next naming day!"
"Hey, dear Jamie, please throw away that rusty breastplate, okay? I will give you a beautiful embossed breastplate next time we meet!"
Along the way, Jaehaerys talked with the guards on duty, and soon arrived at Maegor's Tower without any obstacles. The white knight on duty today was Jaime Lannister. In fact, he was the one last night, the night before, and many nights before.
Jaime said he was helpless. He was on night duty every day and was sleepy as a dead dog during the day. But there is no way. Among the seven Kingsguards, Sir Jon Darry and Sir Lewyn Martell have died in the battle, and Barristan Selmy the Fearless was seriously injured and captured. Now the Red Keep still does not know whether he is alive or dead.
The captain of the Kingsguard, Gerold Hightower the White Bull, Arthur Dayne the Sword of the Dawn, and Ser Oswell River are missing. Some people say that they followed Rhaegar, but they did not appear in the Battle of the Trident or the army that besieged Storm's End.
Now he is the only White Guard left in King's Landing, so there is no one to take the shift!
"Your Highness Jaehaerys!" Jaime bowed and saluted. Judging from his appearance, Jaime is still very young, only 17 years old, and has been a Kingsguard for more than a year.
"Sir Jaime, I heard that you are also the younger brother of the twins?" Jaehaerys took the opportunity to talk to Jaime. This famous "King Slayer" in later generations did not have the arrogance of looking down on the heroes of the world as nothing in the TV series, nor did he have the madness and cruelty of throwing Bran Stark off the tower.
He was wearing white glazed armor decorated with golden lions, and the white cloak behind him was buckled on both sides of his shoulders with buckles in the shape of golden lion heads.
In fact, Jaehaerys never understood in his two lifetimes why people in this world like to wear cloaks and capes so much. They are obviously very heavy. Don't they affect their movements during war?
However, Jaehaerys was smart not to ask questions, just treat it as a tradition and custom. Anyway, he also has a black and red velvet cloak with a three-headed dragon pattern on him, but when it comes to fighting, he can take it off immediately by pulling the buttons on his body.
"Reply to Your Highness, it is true!" Jaime's expression was a little subtle. They are also twins, but the relationship between him and his sister, ahem, if you tell it out, you will have to go to the orthopedics department.
"I heard that your sister is much prettier than Lyanna Stark?"
"Of course, Lyanna is as beautiful as a firefly compared to my sister..." Jaime did his best to praise his sister, and there were some dark thoughts in his heart that were unknown to others, just like a child who had eaten honey and pretended to be reserved, watching others get angry about it and laughing in his heart.
"Oh, so that's it. It seems that it was a big mistake for my brother not to choose your sister!" Jaehaerys said lightly.
"..." Jaime was speechless for a moment. He knew clearly that his sister deeply admired Prince Rhaegar. If King Aerys had agreed to their marriage, his sister would definitely not be with him...
In the final analysis, he still lost.
"Sir Jaime, I heard that your father also came to the outside of King's Landing today?" Jaehaerys suddenly asked.
"Ah? Really? I've been sleeping all day and I don't know much about this!" Jaime was still immersed in frustration a second ago. When he was suddenly asked about his father, he recalled his father's letter and his eyes revealed a trace of panic. Damn it!
Jaehaerys nodded secretly in his heart. It seems that Jaime knew that his father was going to rebel. Just now, he just used a little rhetoric and a little spiritual sense to slightly interfere with the latter's thinking, and he was a little panicked, which means that Jaime and Tywin should have been connected through some channel.
This is not surprising at all. After all, spies from all sides have already infiltrated King's Landing into a big sieve - full of holes! Considering Tywin's behavior and the financial strength of the Lannister family, it would be strange if Jaime didn't know about it!
