iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 539 Avengers

Is that really the case?!

As Daenerys Targaryen's voice fell, the air in the tent seemed to freeze.

The stagnant atmosphere lasted only a few seconds. Grand Maester Pycelle knelt in front of the two men with unusually nimble legs and feet, and said loudly: "May the gods protect you! Your two noble princes, your cooperation is destined to lead our kingdom to an unprecedented glorious era! Pycelle will do his best to devote every bit of his wisdom and strength to Your Highness the Princess and Your Highness Green without reservation! Long live Targaryen! Long live Crabbe!"

Pycelle's blessing was so sincere that Daenerys couldn't help but smile.

Since entering the Seven Kingdoms, the Targaryen princess has been working hard to grow... At this moment, she somewhat understands why Green continues to "trust" this old maester.

Lord Giles Rosby, who had been acting as a statue, also hurried to Pycelle's side and said sincerely: "The marriage of Her Highness Daenerys and Her Highness Green... ahem... is truly a blessing for the kingdom. This is the blessing bestowed upon us by the Seven Gods. The city of Rosby would like to offer our sincerest blessings. May the future of the two highnesses be as bright as the stars."

Although Margery had previously speculated about the true identity of Green's fiancée, Prime Minister Mace was still stunned when he witnessed this moment with his own eyes.

Seeing his lord staring at Princess Arianne who was sending him blessings, Lord Matus couldn't help but avoid other people's gazes and secretly touched the inflatable fish duke beside him.

Prime Minister Metz suddenly came back to his senses, and his reaction was surprisingly fast. He immediately burst into a hearty laugh, attracting everyone's attention.

He opened his arms and said as he walked, "Regent Green, congratulations."

Prime Minister Mace first hugged Green, then turned to Daenerys with a warm smile on his face: "May the gods bless you. This will surely be a rare grand celebration in the Seven Kingdoms and a carnival moment for the entire kingdom. Please accept the blessings of the Tyrell family, Your Highness."

He touched his chest gracefully. "Oh, please accept the Tyrell family's most heartfelt and best wishes, Your Highness."

Compared with before, Prime Minister Metz's expression was much more natural at this moment, and there was a more friendly look on his face, as if the relationship between them had instantly become closer.

Prime Minister Mace had originally felt a little worried because of the natural close relationship between the Martell family and the Targaryen family, and was worried that his position as prime minister would be affected.

But when he thought of the close relationship between himself and Green, he suddenly felt that he was one step closer to Targaryen.

As for the others, Duke of Inflatable Fish has no time to take care of them for the time being...

Daenerys exchanged a sweet look with Green and said, "Thank you for your blessing, Prime Minister Mace."

.........

After the joyful blessing ended and the royal ministers took their seats on both sides, a high-backed wooden chair of the same style appeared next to Daenerys.

After Green sat down, he looked around at everyone and spoke slowly: "You are all people I trust, and if we remain silent or conceal things among ourselves, it may sometimes bring unnecessary trouble. Seventeen years ago..."

His eyes were reminiscing. "All the lords and warriors of the Crabclaw Peninsula who followed Prince Rhaegar to the battle died in the battle. Only my mother, who was pregnant with me, managed to return to the Whispering Keep. But she did not forget the honor of her family. After her death two years ago, I inherited this responsibility, that is, an Avenger."

"Later, I took the initiative to enter the enemy's nest..."

Green briefly recounted the process of deliberately taking over the mission of hunting down the Targaryens, and then he took Daenerys's hand and kissed it gently.

Then he turned his head and looked at everyone again, his lips curved slightly: "I fell in love with Princess Daenerys on the other side of the narrow sea."

He smiled slightly: "Then, the gods blessed her and she became my fiancée."

Everyone laughed well-intentionedly. Lord Matus felt complicated. Looking at the Targaryen princess whose heart and eyes were filled with Green, he suddenly felt fortunate... Lady Margaery failed to successfully marry the usurper "royal family".

If the marriage is successful, Lady Margaery will wear the crown of the Queen of the Baratheon Dynasty...

He first glanced at the Duke of Highgarden, who was stroking his beard with satisfaction, and then glanced at the Duke of Green who was sitting upright. Otherwise, perhaps... this famous general would have already set his sights on the Reach. Thinking of this, Count Matus couldn't help but glance at his lord again. He had to admit that the Duke of Metz had an excellent ability to judge people.

When Glyn Crabbe first visited Highgarden, he was just a minor baron from the Crabclaw Peninsula, but his liege lord, despite the huge difference in status, began to establish a friendship.

Count Matus shook his head secretly. He knew his lord. Although this lord was a qualified leader, he could not be said to be a wise man.

After much thought, he could only attribute this incredible luck to the guidance of the gods.

…………

"The road to revenge is much more complicated than I thought. At the beginning..."

…………

Finally, Green glanced at everyone and said, "Our kingdom has finally reached peace. I hope you can help Daenerys and I to continue to drive out the remnants of the usurpers and maintain the stability of the kingdom."

"As ordered, Your Highness."

Everyone else nodded in response, except Prime Minister Metz, who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Green raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and said, "Prime Minister Mace, do you have any suggestions?"

Prime Minister Mace was slightly stunned. He couldn't help but feel a little proud of Green's usual respect and trust.

Seeing everyone's eyes shifted to him, Prime Minister Mace straightened his chest, cleared his throat, and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, We are doing our best to maintain the peace of the kingdom, but... Winterfell does not seem to appreciate our kindness. They have not yet surrendered to the Red Keep, which is undoubtedly a provocation to the Iron Throne."

Green frowned slightly, tapping his fingers unconsciously on the armrest of the chair, lost in thought.

The tent suddenly became quiet, with only the crackling sound of the burning candle.

After a moment, Green turned his gaze to Pycelle and said, "Grand Maester, please write a letter to Winterfell on my behalf and tell them that the Red Keep will only give them three months."

After a pause, he added: "Please use harsher words to let them know the Red Fort's determination."

"As you command, Lord Green."

After hearing this, Prime Minister Mace's expression flashed with regret, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

In fact, he had already carefully formulated a battle plan to capture Winterfell in the carriage last night. As the weather was getting colder, he was worried that if the time was delayed for too long, it would affect his ability to dispatch troops.

Seeing this, the usually elegant Count Matus had to quietly pull the warlike Lord of the River Reach.

Green and Daenerys exchanged a few words in a low voice, then raised his head and announced to everyone: "Everyone, today's meeting ends here."

…………

Princess Arianne held Daenerys' arm affectionately, and the two left talking and laughing. The frail Pycelle and Gyles were led by the servants to the arranged resting place.

Then, Green called Prime Minister Metz and Count Matus who were about to leave.

"Please follow me, both of you." Green led them to a long table covered with a map.
