iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 569 Queen 2
At this moment, time seems to have stopped.

Standing in front of the spiked Iron Throne, Daenerys looked down from above.

Beneath the Iron Throne, the dense crowd of petitioners was silent, and the solemn throne room seemed to be performing the coronation of the Queen.

This sudden scene hit Daenerys like a tide, and various emotions such as moved, shocked and surprised were intertwined.

Is this the "gift" Green prepared for her?

but……

Just as her thoughts were churning, Green's voice rang out: "Everyone, please listen to my speech."

As he spoke, Green glanced sideways at her, then walked down the stairs.

Daenerys pursed her charming lips. Just now... he winked at her in a slightly funny way. This little "scene" was like a ray of warm sunshine, penetrating the waves in her heart and bringing her a different kind of warmth.

Reflected in her eyes was Green's tall figure, and she was filled with sweetness again.

"Aegon the Conqueror, Aenys I, Aenys I, Maegor I, Jaehaerys I, Viserys I, Aegon II, Aegon III..." Green slowly walked down the steps while reciting the names of the kings of the Targaryen family. His blue cloak embroidered with marigolds swayed gently with his movements.

"...Young Dragon, Daeron I, Baelor the Blessed, Viserys II, Aegon IV, the Good King, Daeron II..."

"...Aerys II was killed by the Usurper, and Viserys III died accidentally in Essos. Yes, according to the succession law of the Seven Kingdoms, Daenerys is the only heir to the Targaryen family, and the legal heir to the Iron Throne."

When his cloak swept over the third step, Green paused and glanced at the people below.

"so……"

"...it is both reasonable and legitimate for Daenerys Targaryen to ascend the Iron Throne and be crowned Queen of the Seven Kingdoms."

Green's eyes slowly swept across the crowd below, and his voice was extremely kind: "Does anyone want to... raise any objections to this?"

As Green finished his words, the entire hall seemed to freeze.

After waiting quietly for a while and seeing that no one stood up to object, Green's gentle gaze swept across the crowd again.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one spoke, Green nodded gently: "Very good."

His eyes fell on Hand Mace, who was standing at the front, and his voice was slightly raised: "Leader of the Reach, Warden of the South, Hand of the King, Lord Mace Tyrell, will you offer the Tyrell family's most precious loyalty to Her Highness Daenerys Targaryen?"

After a brief pause, he raised his voice and added: "The gods are witnesses!"

After a pause, Mace Tyrell straightened his chest, took a step forward, and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness Daenerys, ever since Aegon the Conqueror wielded the sword Blackfyre and slashed through the sky, the Tyrell family has been closely linked to the Targaryens.

The rose of Highgarden may wither, fade, and bloom again over time, but Tyrell's loyalty is as unwavering as the foundation of Highgarden Castle.

For hundreds of years, every generation of Tyrell has wielded sword and put on armor for the Targaryen family, and the Tyrell banner has always flown side by side with the Targaryen three-headed dragon.

From now on, every sunrise and sunset, the descendants of Tyrell will continue to follow the traditions of their ancestors and wait for Targaryen's orders, generation after generation."

Following the Duke of Mace, Prince Doran's heir, Princess Arianne Narmeros Martell, also stepped forward to express her allegiance.

Then, skipping Crabbe's vassal, Green selected some famous nobles from the Seven Kingdoms, including Theon Greyjoy.

By the time the last person finished their speech of allegiance, it was everyone's wish for Daenerys to wear the crown.

"So……"

Green looked around at everyone, then raised his left hand slightly and gestured downwards.

Following his movements, seventy-seven nuns began to chant the hymns of the Seven Gods in unison. Their ethereal voices echoed in the hall, as if the sacred light of the Seven Gods had descended upon the throne room. At the same time, Archbishop Zari, wearing a gorgeous silver robe and a crystal crown on his head, held the golden crown in his hand and stepped steadily up the stone steps leading to the Iron Throne.

The Archbishop's footsteps were in perfect harmony with the rhythm of the hymns, as if every step he took was striking out a solemn note.

Under everyone's gaze, Archbishop Zari finally stood firmly in front of Daenerys with the crown in both hands.

"Father, with His justice, has established order for us—"

"The Virgin Mary, with her love, nourishes all living things——"

"Warrior, use his power to protect our homeland—"

"The blacksmith, with his skills, forges a future of hope—"

"The old woman, relying on her wisdom, guides the way forward—"

"The girl, with her purity, breeds beautiful visions—"

"Strangers, though mysterious, maintain the balance of the world—"

The golden crown inlaid with purple gems shone brightly, and the archbishop held it high.

"In the name of the Seven Gods in heaven, in the name of the Church of the Seven, for the legitimate heir to the Iron Throne, Daenerys of the Targaryen family, put on the golden crown symbolizing the queen of the Seven Kingdoms. May the gods bless you and the Seven Kingdoms."

Just as Archbishop Zari was holding the crown in both hands and slowly approaching Daenerys' head, she suddenly stretched out her right hand to stop his movements.

She first apologized to the Archbishop, then looked at the nobles and knights below, and the hall instantly became quiet.

After a pause, she raised her voice and said, "I, Daenerys Targaryen, have been wandering since the Stormborn, avoiding the pursuit of the Usurper, for as long as I can remember."

"He was one of the survivors of the Usurper's War seventeen years ago. He was Green Crab. Sixteen years after the Usurper had ruled the Seven Kingdoms, he crossed the Narrow Sea and landed on the land of Essos. I met him at that time."

"one year later!"

Daenerys took a small step forward. "With his extraordinary courage and wisdom, he overthrew the rule of the usurper. Today, he welcomed the Targaryens back to King's Landing after an absence of seventeen years!"

Looking down, she raised her voice slightly: "Green Crab's achievements are worthy of being praised for generations!"

She glanced at the crowd below: "The honor of reforging the Targaryen Iron Throne for the Seven Kingdoms, should I give him the honor of placing the crown on the Queen's hands?!"

hum!
As her words fell, there was an uproar in the throne room.

Although she ended her speech with a question, Daenerys did not wait for others to respond. She turned and walked directly to the Iron Throne, then turned around again and slowly sat down.

Then Daenerys nodded slightly to the High Septon who was standing there in a daze, indicating that he should... do as she said.

"This, this, this..."

A trace of panic flashed across Archbishop Zari's face, and the crown in his hand trembled slightly.

The sudden decision of the soon-to-be-crowned Targaryen Queen reminded him of the willful Aerys II.

Is this really the bloodline of the Mad King? !
He secretly complained in his heart, but tried his best to maintain a faint smile on his face, like a holy statue in the cathedral.

Under the gaze of everyone, Regent Green finally moved. He flicked his cloak and walked steadily up the stone steps.

"Archbishop Zari, you don't want to let..."
