Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

"Such a system gave rise to endless wars, with great lords fighting each other and small lords fighting each other. Productivity was backward, the people suffered, and social development and the progress of civilization were severely hindered."

“Aegon unified the seven kingdoms, but he only nominally united these families and ended the continuous wars.”

Before Aegon unified the Seven Kingdoms, this land was constantly embroiled in a protracted war, with the seven kingdoms waging war against each other every day, and the people suffering greatly.

However, even though the seven kingdoms had existed for such a long time, there was still public opposition when they were first unified.

Assassination attempts even occurred repeatedly, but as time went on, people gradually came to understand the benefits of unity and solidarity.

However, Aegon's unification was only superficial, making it appear as a unified kingdom, but in reality, the various kingdoms and regions remained deeply divided and each still ruled its own territory.

What Viserys needs to do now is to truly unify Westeros.

Therefore, his first step was to violently destroy every 'high wall' they had built.

"The city-states on Essos underwent changes earlier than those on Westeros."

“Jon, you’ve lived here for so many years, I’m sure you can feel it by now.”

Jon Clinton nodded slightly upon hearing this. The atmosphere on the continent of Essos was relatively open, with each city-state having its own system, creating a situation where almost a hundred schools of thought contended.

This also resulted in each of their independent city-states having an economic strength and military capability that, on average, surpassed that of the cities on Westeros.

In contrast, Westeros is stubborn, conservative, and uncivilized, with many families that have been passed down for thousands of years, and some even for tens of thousands of years.

"And now is the best opportunity."

"Taking advantage of the already chaotic situation, we will completely smash the old order."

"Since one window is already broken, we might as well smash it completely."

The person who said this was not Viserys, but Jon Clinton.

He seemed to be deep in thought, as if he had begun to understand what Viserys wanted to do.

Since Westeros is in complete chaos due to the White Walker invasion and the war of conquest, it's better to take this opportunity to resolve all the problems at once. It would be more troublesome to deal with unresolved issues once everything has stabilized.

Although Jon Clinton was persuaded by Viserys, he couldn't help but feel excited, because this was a momentous event that would be recorded in Westeros history. But he still had one question that he couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, what exactly do you want?"

What do you want?

Viserys raised an eyebrow slightly when he heard Jon Clinton's question and answered.

"Besides power, status, and wealth, what else in this world do we want to acquire?"

The King's Hand opened his mouth but was momentarily speechless. He wanted to say that there were other women, but considering that this young and handsome king seemed to have no shortage of female admirers, he swallowed his words.

"At first, all I wanted was to protect Renis and Dani and survive."

"Later, when I was able to protect them, I wanted to take back the Iron Throne."

"Human ambition grows without limit."

Viserys said jokingly.

"If I said I wanted to rebuild the Valyrian Empire and proclaim myself Holy Valyrian Emperor, would you believe me?"

In the morning sunlight, the King's Hand medal on the gray-red hair of the man's chest reflected a faint light, and then you could see that his expression froze, and then his mouth slowly opened wide.

Just kidding.

However, the silver-haired youth shook his head and reached out to pluck a beautiful, vibrant flower from the garden.

Spring breezes stir, and hundreds of flowers bloom.

An old black cat was chasing a butterfly as it ran by, but when it saw Viserys, it acted as if it had seen some great demon and quickly hid far away.

What lies west of Westeros?

Jon Clinton slowly recovered from his shock, then listened to Viserys' question, thought carefully for a moment, and spoke.

"It seems to be an endless sea, just like the endless land of Sosros, Your Majesty."

People have not explored the end of the Sosros continent, nor do they know what lies on the other side of the Sunset Sea.

Is it the Water Palace that drowns the gods?

Or did the Crimson God take away the sunset and then send it to the place of tomorrow?

Nobody knows.

Jon Clinton shook his head slightly.

"This is where all maps end."

"Perhaps one day when I have some free time, I will ride a dragon and try to reach the ends of the earth."

Viserys watched quietly as the old black cat, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, fled.

He then casually gave the flower he had broken off to a pretty maid who was passing by, which made her blush deeply.

...

Viserys made a brief stop in Pentos, but did not rest for more than a few days before riding a dragon to King's Landing.

The world imposes many restrictions on everyone.

After all, humans are social animals, and the structure of human society is a pyramid shape from top to bottom. Even though His Majesty the willful king went out for a walk for a while, he still had to return to the capital to deal with many things he had briefly escaped.

A black dragon, its shadow obscuring the sky, appeared above Blackwater Bay, causing a wave of panic among the nobles inside Red Castle.

At the fishermen's square in Lanni Gate, a startled animal even knocked over a fish basket, causing fresh fish to jump all over the ground before being snatched up. Only the fishmonger sat alone on the ground, looking like he was about to cry.

"This black dragon is much larger than the bronze dragon that Princess Chang had."

The bald eunuch, dressed in a long robe, with his hands crossed and hidden in his sleeves, looked up at the sky and spoke.

"Rego...is that his name?"

"Every time I hear this name, it reminds me of the much-anticipated Silver Prince, but unfortunately he failed to live up to everyone's expectations."

“Rego is like a ‘little baby’ in front of the Black Death.”

Varys leaned against the railing and spoke jokingly, seemingly to himself.

"really."

A response came from beneath the railings of the Red Fort's tower.

Tyrion Lannister, the "Little Imp," was too short, so he could only spread his arms out under the railing to speak.

"Otherwise, how could His Majesty have repelled those terrible Others?"

"Why did the allied forces of hundreds of thousands suffer a complete rout from the Twins to Riverrun, without even a chance to resist?"

Although Tyrion currently holds no specific official position, everyone knows that with Her Highness the Princess's recommendation, Tyrion's future is destined for great success.

Varys, as the Minister of Intelligence for the Iron Throne, remained in his original position.

Renis did not implement any sweeping reforms to the Council, and Grand Maester Pycelle had recently resigned, intending to leave King's Landing and return to the Citadel, but was detained.

The reason is that someone exposed what he had done in the past, and each of those things was enough to warrant his death.

Chapter 469 Current Situation

Many years have passed.

Once again, they returned to King's Landing, where everyone stared at the back of the handsome, silver-haired youth.

They had expected Viserys to reflect on the passage of time, lamenting how things had changed and people were no longer the same.

After all, this is where Viserys grew up.

He wasn't like Renis; Viserys was already seven when he left the Red Keep, well past the age of remembering things.

Everything about the Red Keep was his fondest childhood memory, after all, he was still the pampered second Targaryen prince back then, instead of fleeing to the ends of the earth with his mother, Queen Rhaela.

Unfortunately, reality did not turn out as they had expected.

Viserys gazed at the magnificent palace of the Seven Kingdoms perched atop Aegon Hill, but didn't actually have any particularly deep memories of it.

The Red Fort was unfamiliar to him; he approached it with the mindset of a tourist visiting a famous landmark.

The main reason is that the last time he came to the Red Fort was when he had just come into this world.

At that time, the atmosphere inside the Red Keep was tense. Prince Rhaegar had just died in battle, and people were filled with fear as if it were the end of the world.

Moreover, time was limited, leaving him little time to familiarize himself with the palace. Viserys didn't even have time to explore the Red Keep before being put on a carriage and forced to flee King's Landing.

Viserys remained silent, walking around and looking here and there.

To the many trembling royal nobles following behind him, these reactions meant that His Majesty the King was recalling the past.

Then.

In the Prime Minister's Tower of the Red Fort.

"Given the current situation, Her Highness the Princess sent ravens to all the nobles to inform them that the Iron Throne had changed hands, but to little avail. The Vale and the Western Frontier have not yet clearly expressed their submission."

The current Duke of the Vale is Robert Arryn, the beloved son of Jon Arryn, the former Hand of the King and the usurper, who was born late in life.

But he was still just a child who didn't understand the ways of the world, and theoretically, the person who actually controlled the Vale should have been his mother, Lysa Tully.

However, Lysa Tully was not a resilient person. Even though her father died in the Battle of Riverrun, she should not have been able to hold on for so long, given that she and her father, Lord Hoster Tully, had a strained relationship.

We have now received some intelligence that power in the Vale has fallen into the hands of others, who have formed an alliance with many nobles and refuse to kneel and surrender to Viserys.

As for the Western Frontier, it goes without saying that the Lannisters offended the Targaryen family too badly; surrendering was no different from sending themselves to their deaths.

Based on Tyrion's assessment of his father, Tywin would rather die on the battlefield than willingly be hanged.

"On the Stormlands side, Duke Renly Baratheon was originally willing to kneel and was testing how we would treat him after his surrender."

"Ranly hopes to retain the positions of Storm's End and Stormlands Lords."

"But according to intelligence, Stannis, who escaped from prison some time ago, has appeared in Storm's End and is being courted by a group of vassals loyal to House Baratheon."

Whether Stormlands can be peacefully incorporated into the kingdom's territory remains to be seen.

"In the south, the Dornish army's burning, killing and looting of the Reach enraged the Tyrell family. The Rose of Highgarden summoned her vassals and vowed revenge."

House Tyrell of the Reach has always been a family adept at maneuvering, even though the Reach can mobilize more military power than House Lannister and has a navy comparable to the royal fleet.

However, the Highgarden Rose was not good at leading troops in battle.
