Chapter 625 Kingship and Truth

He succeeded.

Daenerys shook his shoulders slightly, lifted the head to widen his eyes, and looked at Igor in surprise.

"What are you talking about?" The refutation blurted out, and the Queen didn't even care that her arm was pinched by the other side, "'The king shouldn't sit comfortably', if today I'm just being stabbed by the throne He was angry and melted at once, how is it different from my father? What do people think of me when it is called Seven Kingdoms?"

"'The king shouldn't sit comfortably'?"

Igor smiled, the idea of this sentence is as funny as "scientists must remain poor", which belongs to the typical kind of thing that seems reasonable but is not logical.

"Your Majesty, ask yourself: Are you quoting this quote, are you really taking it as a creed, or just because it's what 'Conqueror' Aegon said? Sit comfortably, and rule well What is the inevitable connection between the bad?" Igor loosened his grip on Daenerys' forearm, while throwing away the residual gauze, gently supported her injured left hand with his right palm, seemingly checking whether the bandages were intact, but in fact he was enjoying the Queen slender jade hand. Silky, "If I had to, I would say that the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages! Whether it is a king or a prime minister, if you sit on it, you have to endure the discomfort under your buttocks all the time, and always be careful not to be scratched by the tip of an iron thorn... How can I stay focused and listen carefully to the demands of my subjects? In this way, I increase pressure on oneself for no reason, and consume a lot of emotional control and rationality in competing with a dead thing. How can I stay rational and be kind to others for a long time, and calmly Think and govern?"

"Okay, you're right." Queen interrupted, this guy always makes sense anyway, and Daenerys didn't even bother to argue with him, "But Iron Throne isn't just an uncomfortable chair after all, it's a symbol of power, and that's exactly what I need right now!"

"Agreed, but why is Iron Throne a symbol of power? Igor first nodded affirmed, and then asked himself, "Because it was cast by 'Conqueror 'Aegon, the founder of the Targaryen Dynasty, and it bears the prestige endorsements of your seventeen kings and ancestors who once sat on it, the entire known world, but any The mention of 'Iron Throne' immediately conjures up 'Supreme Ruler of Westeros'. That's what you want, right?"

Yes.

So what?

Daenerys' expression changed to doubt, waiting for his next sentence.

“But who is Your Majesty? Or ask, who does Your Majesty want to be?” A faint but perceptible frenzy crept into Igor’s eyes, “Is it 'Conqueror Second,' or 'Daenerys Targaryen' I'—the first and greatest Queen?"

He paused for a few seconds to give the last thoughtful and provocative sentence enough time to ferment before continuing.

"The meaning of a thing is not innate, it is given by people. What you have accomplished, what you are about to do, and what you will achieve in the future is far more than what you are called Ancestor of 'Conqueror'. As the Mother of Dragons, you don't need this shit to justify bloodline and legitimacy..."

Igor paused again, and couldn't help but smile: he Recalling the oneself before the time-travel, I once dreamed of going to sit on the low-profile version of Iron Throne put together by the Game of Thrones crew. Who wants to change with time, even if it is a real Iron Throne now, in his eyes Just a piece of shit.

"It's even arrogant to say that once the grand blueprint we have laid out is fulfilled, none of your seventeen previous kings are bound to be greater than you. In this case, holding a rusty Iron Throne of yours doesn't let go...Isn't it strange that the oneself is the towering giant tree, but instead of rising from the ground, living in the shadow of these weaker than you?"

This is too arrogant right?
Wearing a high hat by an extraordinary character like the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch is certainly heartwarming, but no matter how bold and confident Daenerys is, he is not crazy enough to think that oneself can be greater than the seventeen kings combined. The Greater Crownlands plan is truly amazing, but isn't it done yet?

What should I do? Honestly admit that oneself has no certainty that the Greater Crownlands plan will come to fruition? Of course not. But if he refuted it from other aspects, Dany couldn't find an entry point for a while.

"What you are about to do is a record that has never been approached and will never be approached again. Even if you still like iron chairs, you should use the sword you defeated the enemy to recast. One is right, sitting on the weapon of an ancestor conquered by an ancestor three hundred years ago to rule the second dynasty of Targaryen with a new look Destroy it to make a clear distinction with the old order that has been left in the dust of history!"

"You remember the saying 'the king should not sit comfortably', but you don't understand: it's not because Sitting comfortably helps to govern a country, and it is precisely because - the winner, it makes sense to just fart! When Your Majesty makes an unprecedented feat, heaven shaking, earth shattering belongs only to oneself, who will remember a certain pile The dead bones in the mound once named 'Aegon' once ruled that 'the king should not sit comfortably'? The fickle people will only praise you for destroying the Iron Throne as a sign of unparalleled courage to usher in a new era, pass it on as It's a story through the ages. Until then, who will remember this piece of rotten iron that has been cast into something else, and feel sorry for it, and even think that it can still symbolize the so-called power?"

...

Igor's eloquent persuasion came to an end, and silence returned to the throne room. Grey Worm stood still, not daring to interject, and Daenerys—though not yet persuaded, was overwhelmed by the high-spirited and vigorous and daring of Igor's last call, he was stunned for a moment, remembering Inside the Queenscrown Lake Tower, his blood boiled when he first heard about the Greater Crownlands plan.

Melt down the Iron Throne! It is absolutely arrogant and arrogant for ordinary people to say this, but Igor...

Daenerys will not forget that the man in front of him once melted and forged an unknown Valyrian Steel Sword when he gave the land. The 77 "Lightbringers" that have been completed have become one of the most Legendary weapons in Westeros after shooting the Night King. The limelight has completely overwhelmed any Valyrian Steel Sword!

As a Queen, she doesn't like subordinates to interfere with oneself's cognition and decision at will; but as a woman, it is really hard for her to resist the arrogance and domineering that Night's Watch shows in front of her when she speaks loudly. And come without any scruples, especially when he is still thinking about himself.

Don't you need this kind of spirit for a major event?
While Queen was pounding and thinking, Igor was also emotional and couldn't restrain her emotions.

His, what's the matter?

Originally, I just wanted to drag the Queen out of the ghost, but who wanted to talk nonsense and convince oneself?

After a few breaths, he gradually realized where the excitement of oneself came from.

During this time, he was really holding back a bit.

Rising up, originally a pure Wall guardian joined the Seven Kingdoms, which led to a sudden increase in the workload caused by the skyrocketing responsibilities and mission levels. He was very busy;
After killing the killer, after killing Varys and Petyr He was nervous about trying to escape the mental pressure caused by suspicion;

The enormous amount of physical and mental energy and energy consumed by organizing, directing, and participating in battles one after another...he was exhausted to death.

The accumulated pressure caused by the above factors was all vented through the rhetoric just now.

Bragging is one of the best ways to relieve stress for men.

Apart from a short-lived emotional refreshment, I suddenly realized one thing in my mind: getting along with Daenerys with the inherent thinking mode of monarch-subject is far better than maintaining a "close comrade and comrade". This layer of identity and feeling is wonderful. These days, the great cause begins to become cringe and bureaucratic oneself before it is completed, and it is really on a crooked road that is difficult to walk.

It's cool to brag, and if you can turn them one after another into reality after you're done blowing it, then it's more fun than fun, and it's double the happiness!

"Even if I get rid of those illusory rhetoric, Iron Throne can't stay any longer, considering purely reality." Igor raised his eyebrows, exhaled, and stopped persuading for the last blow, so as not to accidentally give Queen to Queen. Convinced, "When Your Majesty stepped on the stairs just now, did you hear the overwhelmed moan from the steel under your feet? The throne is already rotten, and it is only because it is solid that it does not fall apart in an instant, as Robert the Slayer once saw it when he ruled. The prosperous Seven Kingdoms - no matter how seemingly permanent, it is only a matter of time before it breaks down and collapses. Does Your Majesty want to leave this unstable factor to future oneself and future generations, or swift and decisive, deal with it now Eliminate it before it happens?"

"You can rest assured that your subordinates will definitely be able to squeeze out the last remaining power symbol on the throne - the steel obtained by melting Iron Throne will be cast into two doors. Cannon, one is called 'royal power' and the other is called 'truth'. In the past, subjects all over the world could only come to the throne room of the Red Keep to admire the majesty of Iron Throne and feel the power it symbolized; The king's power travels all over the world, convincing all enemies who dare to resist with 'truth'!"
