iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 109 Targaryen (End)

A few days later, Green in blue was invited by Illyrio to the governor's mansion.

The governor's mansion has brick walls rising twelve feet high, topped with a row of iron spikes.

This is a richly decorated house overlooking the entire port of Pentos.

At the main gate Green saw the Unsullied who was in charge of guarding the house.

The Unsullied are widely used as guards in the Free Trade Cities. They are castrated slave warriors. They were trained in Astapor since childhood. They are characterized by absolute obedience to their masters and fearlessness in the face of war.

The most famous battle of the Unsullied was the Battle of Qohor. Only [-] Unsullied resisted an attack of more than [-] Dothraki led by Temer Khal.

After arriving at the main hall of the mansion, Green saw the fat Illyrio Mopatis.

Gemstones gleamed on every finger of Illyrio's, and his oiled yellow mustache shone like real gold.

Green took the initiative to salute his chest: "Good day, Governor Illyrio, it is a great honor to be received by you."

Although Illyrio, who was born as an assassin, was bloated and fat, he was surprisingly light and graceful when he stepped forward.

Illyrio's tone was kind: "Good day, Earl Green, welcome to your arrival, and may you be blessed by the Lord of Light."

After approaching, Green smelled the thick perfume on Illyrio's body.

Green's smile was pure and pure for a teenager: "Your Excellency Governor, thank you again for your help, and thank you Lord Varys for your recommendation."

Illyrio smiled and said, "Varys and I are old friends, but unfortunately we haven't been in touch with him for a long time after he went to Westeros. I'm very happy to see his handwritten letter this time."

After a pause, Illyrio continued: "Earl Green, I think Valliscan recommends you. You must be a very outstanding young man. I believe in the eyes of an old friend. It's just a matter of lifting a finger. You don't need to be too polite."

Green nodded with a smile, and followed Illyrio into the inner hall.

After they were seated, the waiter brought exquisite cakes and white amber wine.

Green took a sip of the amber wine and put down his glass.

"Governor Illyrio, please forgive me, but I would like to see a Targaryen."

Green's voice fell, and there was a sudden silence in the hall.

Illyrio stared at Green for a while, then suddenly smiled and shook his head: "You really can't underestimate my old friend, he really values ​​you."

Green was stunned for a moment, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Illyrio sighed softly, and said, "Since Varys asked you to meet me, you must have learned a lot. To your king, they are the remnants of the Targaryen, but to me, the war has divided Win or lose, they're just poor homeless kids."

After being silent for a while, Green said, "Lord Varys also meant the same thing...Your Excellency, I also agree with this. Baratheon has won the Iron Throne, and Targaryen has left Westeros. I feel like things have come to an end, and that’s where it should end.”

Illyrio showed pity on his face: "The pursuit from Westeros has made them restless. The two young people are like homeless people who have no fixed place. They are only staying here temporarily. What I can do It’s also a temporary refuge.”

Green clenched his fists and then released them, and said, "Governor Illyrio, I understand Lord Varys' good intentions. Hunting and killing Targaryen is not an honorable thing."

Green nodded and said, "Your kindness is not only commendable, but also admirable."

Illyrio saw the change in Green's expression, and the corner of his mouth hooked imperceptibly.

Green first spoke frankly about the past and embarrassing status of the Kleiber family.

Seeing that Illyrio was listening seriously, Green said again: "King Robert has always distrusted the Kleiber family, and more than ten years of hunting has failed, so he appointed me as the chief person in charge of hunting down the Targaryen. To test the loyalty of the Kreber family."

"then you?"

Illyrio showed an undisguised vigilance.

Green shook his head slightly: "Your Excellency, please rest assured that you can convey the information to His Royal Highness the Prince and Princess. As long as I am in charge for one day, I will ensure that they will not be disturbed, and please rest assured."

Illyrio looked at Green with a sincere face, and finally sighed.

"Earl Green, today I understand what loyalty is without fear!"

Facing the high hat thrown by Illyrio, Green only sighed slightly.

Illyrio's eyes moved slightly, and his tone was concerned: "Earl Green, but if you do this, it will take a long time. Will Westeros have a hard time explaining it?"

Green shrugged and said: "No one will pursue it for the time being, I believe Lord Varys."

Green's heart moved, and he continued: "However, Lord Varys is a rare and kind person, and I don't want to push all the problems to him."

After finishing speaking, Green got up and stroked his chest: "Your Excellency Governor, please forgive me for taking the liberty. When the time is right, I would like to arrange a chase scene in Pentos. This can be regarded as an explanation... This requires your approval."

Illyrio asked puzzled, "The chase scene?"

Green nodded, and replied: "It's a show for others. Pentos and Westeros, there are many people who come and go between the two places, so it is easier to appease some caring people. I think, Wat It will be easier for Lord Rees over there."

After Illyrio listened, he seemed to agree on the surface, but he was a little wary in his heart.

"Indeed, there must be many eyes and ears hidden in Pentos, so we should be more cautious."

As he said that, Illyrio asked with a natural expression: "How can the prince and princess cooperate with you?"

Fake plays can also be done for real... Illyrio is testing. Although he has Varys' recommendation, he will never trust Green as easily as he has shown. People's hearts are the most elusive.

The two Targaryens in his hands have different values ​​in different places.

For example, in front of King Robert, Green will definitely get a great reward, and he can also solve the trust problem that has been bothering him.

…………

Regarding Illyrio's question, Green shook his head in denial.

"Governor Illyrio, after all, they didn't appoint me to take charge of this matter out of trust. We also need to guard against assassins hiding in the dark. This is what Lord Varys and I are most worried about.

It is enough for my subordinates to make some noise. The prince and princess are not allowed to show up. This is also to ensure their safety. I believe that the two of them are the safest with you. "

Illyrio agreed: "You are right, I think too simply. For the safety of the prince and princess, it is not too much to be more cautious."

Illyrio said again: "Don't worry, I will arrange someone to cooperate with you when the time comes."

What an old fox... Green showed gratitude and nodded in thanks.

Illyrio said kindly: "As for meeting the prince and princess, I will tell the truth about what happened today. I think they will be very happy to meet you."

Green thought to himself: But.

After hesitating for a while, Illyrio continued: "His Royal Highness Viserys has a deep memory of the war of more than ten years, plus he has been chasing and killing him all the time... He is a bit resistant to people who come from Westeros."

Green expressed his understanding: "Anyone who faces the same situation will have bad memories. I admire His Highness Targaryen's tenacity."

Illyrio nodded slightly, and also expressed his agreement: "I guess Princess Daenerys would be very willing to meet you. Although she has no memory, she has always been very curious about Westeros. I have never seen a purer princess than her." girl, Princess Daenerys is like an elf in the world."

Green was not surprised that he would not see Viserys for a while.

Viserys is a mad dragon carefully cultivated by him and Varys. According to Varys' plan, he is the key to disrupting Westeros.

Now Daenerys is a tool man who helps Viserys in exchange for soldiers and horses, and then is a victim of detonating the anger of the horse king.

Illyrio specially arranged for Daenerys to be taught various bed moves by a blond maid bought from the Women's Branch... Beloved Khaleesi was assassinated by an assassin, and the target was directed at Westeros, Sleeping Dragon and Mawang hit it off... …Mad Dragon (Viserys) plus Avenger Horse King, Westeros is bloody.

The conspiracies of Varys and Illyrio are linked together, tsk, my heart is really dirty.

…………

Green looked at Illyrio with a look of relief: "Your Excellency, this is really good news. Thank you again for your help. I will wait for Your Royal Highness to receive her."

…………

…………

King's Landing, a secret room in the Shataya Women's Branch.

Lysa Tully clutched the bitter-faced Petyr Baelish tightly.

Lysa's voice was sharp: "Why? It's impossible! Little Robert (Robert Arryn) can't leave me!"

Petyr looked particularly frail today.

"My Lysa, I'm sorry, I just learned the news. Prime Minister Jon deliberately concealed it from everyone, including you and me!"

Lysa paused, her tone flustered: "Could it be that he found out about us?"

Petyr shook his head, and Lysa, who had a tense expression on her face, was relieved, and her tense body almost collapsed.

Petyr stretched out his hand to support Lysa, and comforted him with that magnetic voice: "Lysa, don't worry, you are not wrong, it's all because I can't let you go, even if I die, I will protect you , you won't be harmed in the slightest."

"Littlefinger..." Lysa moved a teardrop.

After embracing each other for a while, Lysa suddenly said, "Tell me quickly, what does he want to do with my son?"

Petyr's gray-green eyes stared at the restless Lysa, with a look of reluctance.

Petyr sighed helplessly, and said, "Duke Jon feels that his health may not be able to teach little Robert. He wants to send your son to Dragonstone Island to become the adopted son of Duke Stannis."

Lysa shrieked, "What about me? That's my son! Why should I have to take my son away from me when I can't teach little Robert myself?!"

Petyr patted Lysa's back lightly, and said: "After getting seriously ill, we all feel that Duke Jon has become more and more stubborn. He would rather believe in Duke Stannis who is far away on Dragonstone Island than Be willing to trust those close to you.”

After finishing speaking, after staring at Lysa for a while, Petyr said again: "My Lysa, you should know that I love little Robert very much. I have no children, and I even regard him as my own child. I am very proud of that." Like you, I don't want little Robert to leave his own mother."

Lysa stroked Petyr's thin cheeks with her fat and tender hands, and said movedly: "Littlefinger, my biggest regret is that I couldn't give you a child... You can treat little Robert as your own son, and I I know you love him more than Jon. Don't worry, I'll go find Jon in a moment, and he won't take little Robert away from me without my permission!"

Petyr shook his head, with a tired tone: "It's useless, I have already argued with Duke Jon, and he said...it is precisely because he doesn't trust you that he wants to let little Robert leave."

Lysa screamed, "I'm never dead, I'm never dead, why, why!"

Seeing Lysa, who had lost her mind, as if she had gone mad, Petyr secretly hooked the corners of his lips.

Jon was an old man when he married Lysa.

Due to Lysa's infidelity before marriage and the age gap between the two is too large, there is no love in their marriage.

After their marriage, Lysa had five miscarriages, two in the Eyrie, three in King's Landing, and two stillbirths before finally giving birth to Robert Arryn.

【Eagle's Nest City is located in the Vale of Arryn and is the home castle of the Arryn family. 】

Robert Arryn had always been frail and sickly, so Lysa doted on her son to the extreme.

After her last stillbirth, Lysa has fallen into paranoia, always feeling that she has enemies everywhere, except for Petyr Baelish, who has always loved "mutually".

…………

Lysa grabbed Petyr tightly tightly: "Petyr, think of a way, you must have a way, right? I can't lose my son, Stannis will definitely kill little Robert!"

Petyr looked at Lysa, who was crying and pleading, and couldn't bear it.

In the end, under Lysa's expectant eyes, Petyr nodded as if he had made some kind of difficult decision.

…………

…………

Three days later, Illyrio's mansion.

Daenerys, who wrapped her silver hair in a coarse towel, stepped into the hot tub.

The bath water was boiling hot, but Daenerys said nothing, because she liked the heat, it made her feel clean.

And, Viserys had often said to her, Targaryens are not afraid of heat, and we are dragons, with fire in our blood.

After bathing and cleansing, Daenerys combed her hair to shine like molten silver, and took the herbal essence and dabbed it all over her body.

Then Daenerys put on her purple silk gown, the color of which perfectly matched her purple eyes.Daenerys put on her gold-rimmed sandals and a gold bracelet set with amethysts.

After dressing up, Daenerys looked at how she looked in the full-length mirror.

The silver-haired girl in the mirror is petite, timid and not confident.

Daenerys's little face showed sadness. Some time ago, my brother was busy giving her to the barbarians in exchange for soldiers and horses to win the Iron Throne.

Today, her brother asked her to obtain the allegiance of a half-savage nobleman.

Daenerys felt like a traded product, and she resisted very much in her heart, but she was afraid of awakening the wrath of her brother's sleeping dragon.

The waiter had conveyed Illyrio's words, and the half-wild was already waiting in the courtyard and asked her to come out a little later.

According to Illyrio, this would invisibly elevate the princess' majesty.

Daenerys didn't understand what the majesty of the princess in Illyrio's mouth was, but she knew that today must be successful, only in this way Viserys would not abandon her.

What about half-wilds?There is nothing in this world that scares her more than being abandoned by her brother.

Daenerys took a breath, stood up, and looked at her outfit again through the mirror.

Daenerys turned towards the door, straightened her waist, folded her hands on her stomach, and slowly breathed out.

On Daenerys's usually timid little face, there was a hint of determination.

The sunlight shone in, lengthening Daenerys's thin figure.
