Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Therefore, Tyrion fabricated an excuse to deceive and intimidate the Toyn family mother and son, but he did not expect that his guess would be correct by accident.

Heros did indeed use the Westerlands as a condition to persuade Harry Strickland to join his side, after all, for Harry, who was already in his sixties or seventies, his last wish in this life was to lead his family to greater heights.

"this..."

"impossible!"

However, after Tyrion finished speaking, neither Tyrion nor his mother could accept the outcome. The young Lord Warden of the West, Jon Toyn, spoke up with some indignation.

"The Toyn family has done nothing wrong. On what grounds has His Highness the Crown Prince stripped the Governor of his authority and handed it over to this guy, Harry Strickland?"

Now Jon Toyn no longer refers to his uncle as "Uncle" but directly calls Harry Strykerland "that guy".

This disrespectful old man had once tried to woo Lady Jenny while his mother was single, becoming Jon Toyn's 'godfather,' which naturally greatly displeased the young and hot-blooded Governor of the West.

He had long disliked Harry Strickland, but he couldn't openly confront him because the latter held military power.

"Old Lord Breken once showed His Majesty Viserys immense kindness, akin to that of a father."

"Therefore, His Majesty has granted the Riverlands and the rich city of the Twins to Lord Breken in recognition of his many years of merit. This is a promise His Majesty has made."

"But how long has it been since Lord Brecken died?"

"Although Hendry Brecken was the illegitimate son of old Lord Brecken, he was also his only flesh and blood. Wasn't he also given a cup of poisoned wine and killed by His Highness the First Prince?"

Tyrion shook his head and spoke, pausing slightly. The mother and son of the Toyn family seemed somewhat uneasy at his words.

They also recalled how shocked they were when the news of Governor Hendry Brecken's execution by the First Prince reached Casterly Rock three years ago.

They never imagined that in peacetime, the governor of a province, a powerful regional official, would be executed like a chicken and stripped of his power, which was then bestowed upon the Tully family of Riverrun.

However, Tyrion had been observing the expressions of the mother and son and had indeed achieved a result that satisfied him, but it was not enough.

Therefore, he only paused slightly before continuing to use words as a sharp weapon to exert pressure.

"What exactly did Lord Hendry Brecken do wrong? Why is it said that he delayed the spread of the plague, and what reason did he have to do so as the governor of the Riverlands?"

"And to say that he committed murder and arson."

"But in reality, although His Majesty has reformed the laws and the country is legally and politically sound, Lord Jon Thorn should know that there is no nobleman in the Empire who is completely without fault and without any problems."

"Moreover, the fire occurred in the camp of the army personally led by His Highness the Prince. Lord Hendry had very few followers, and all the testimonies were given by His Highness the Prince's subordinates, which were all one-sided accounts."

"Lord Jon Toyn might consider whether that fire was truly started by Lord Hindley Bracken, or whether His Highness the First Prince instructed Lord Bracken Jr. to set it."

"This is the only way to get rid of the uncooperative Lord Brecken and support Edmure Tully, who was willing to obey orders, as the governor of the Riverlands."

"So you think the First Prince doesn't have the courage or ability to grant the Western Territory to Harry Strykerland? You're probably underestimating His Highness's abilities."

Tyrion has said everything.

The great hall of Casterly Rock was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Standing to the side, Yin Meng stared in shock, looking at Tyrion with disbelief.

He never imagined that his elder brother would be so despicable in Tyrion's exaggerated description.

Hearing this made him want to punch Heros in the face.

Meanwhile, Yin Meng looked shocked, while the Toin family mother and son on the other side had already been completely swayed by Tyrion's words.

"this..."

"That seems to make sense."

If a man is going to become emperor, what can't he do?

Jon Thorne and his mother, Lady Jenny, exchanged a glance, both seeing the tension and fear in each other's eyes.

After all, the eldest prince, Heros Targaryen, now holds an absolute advantage, while the second prince, Yinmeng, is weak and isolated.

If His Highness the Crown Prince were to successfully seize the throne through a coup and become the Emperor, fulfilling his promise to grant the Western Territory to the Strykeran family, then the mother and son would truly be powerless, utterly helpless.

After all, with His Majesty the Emperor gone, who in this world can suppress His Highness the Crown Prince?

Seek help from Queen Arianne? But Queen Arianne is already under house arrest, and Queen Renée is living in seclusion on Dragonstone, refusing to attend to state affairs or receive visitors. The only possible confidante is perhaps the young Queen Daenerys, and it seems that Daenerys' son is...

Without Tyrion's prompting, Jon Thorn and his mother, Lady Jenny, naturally turned their gazes to the handsome, silver-haired young man before them.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Tyrion naturally couldn't let the other party lose face and take the initiative to admit their mistake. He coughed lightly and spoke again.

Let me reintroduce myself.

"Lord Jon Thorn and Lady Jenny, standing before you is His Highness Immon Targaryen, Prince of Highgarden..."

"A true descendant of the dragon!"

Chapter 1025 Bessane

After Tyrion's smooth talk, the mother and son of the Toyn family were successfully fooled.

They originally thought that by remaining on the sidelines they could avoid disaster, but they did not realize that sometimes it is a sin to possess treasures without having the power to do so.

In this game of power, everyone needs to choose sides, and to maintain an independent stance, one must have the ability and strength to do so.

However, it is clear that the Toin family, which has only occupied Casterly Rock for twenty years, does not have such resources.

Fence-sitters are the most despicable.

Therefore, if they do not make a decision at this time, they will be disliked by both sides, and whichever side wins will eventually take action against them and quietly withdraw from the game.

Tyrion saw that the time was ripe. If this were at the negotiating table, they would have reached the final step. The other party had completely believed him and was just hesitant. He just needed to give them one last push. So Tyrion glanced at Lady Jenny and Jon Toyn's faces and then spoke in a deep voice.

It's time to make a decision.

As Tyrion finished speaking, the young governor of the Westerlands clenched his fingers slightly, his breathing quickened noticeably, and then he finally made up his mind.

"Mother."

He then turned to look at Mrs. Jenny, who nodded slightly in return.

Then Jon Thorn turned around, strode out of the hall, and addressed his trusted soldiers who were on duty outside.

"Go and call the young lady over."

...

At this moment, the night is deep.

The candlelight flickered gently as Bessane Toyn listened to the sound of the waves outside her window in her bedroom, leaning against the headboard as she read a thick book, her fingertips gently turning the page.

The young woman from the Toin family was about to rest when her maid suddenly knocked on the door, claiming that her brother and mother were looking for her and that she should hurry over.

"why?"

"What happened?"

Bessani was slightly puzzled, wondering why her brother and mother suddenly wanted to see her in the middle of the night.

However, the girl was well-behaved and sensible, so although she was puzzled, she still folded a crease on the page she had just seen and closed it.

She then took off her nightgown and changed into a proper outfit, and led by her maids and guards, she passed through the stone garden and walked briskly toward the main hall of Casterly Rock.

Before long, they arrived at the gates of Casterly Rock, where security was tight. Jon Thorn had heard early that morning that Prince Immon had suddenly visited and sensed that something important was about to happen, so he had made thorough preparations.

After the negotiations were completed inside, Jon sent someone to fetch Bessanee, and then issued several more orders to further enhance security measures.

When Bessane arrived outside the palace, her maids were stopped, and only the girl was allowed to go in.

Bessani felt a little uneasy, unsure of what was happening. She gently clenched her sleeves, but still mustered her courage and pushed open the door to go inside.

Bessani pushed open the door and entered the main hall, where she saw her mother and brother who had been waiting for her for a long time. Upon seeing her mother and brother, Bessani breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, the girl from the Toin family soon discovered that there were two other guests in the hall.

One was a dwarf with gray hair and only half the height of an average person, while the other completely captivated Bessan's attention.

Yin Meng wasn't exceptionally tall, but he was still about six feet tall, around 1.82 meters, which surpassed most people. He had long, flowing silver-gold hair, fair skin, and bright, pale purple eyes.

Yin Meng inherited many of his parents' best features, and his facial features are closer to his mother Daenerys's, so naturally there is nothing wrong with him. He is the center of attention wherever he stands.

Tall and handsome, with flowing silver hair, he easily attracts the attention of any woman.

Therefore, as soon as Bessani entered the hall, her gaze immediately fell on Yin Meng. Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone in the hall turned to look in this direction, including Yin Meng.

Then he saw a girl wearing a light blue dress. Her slightly tanned skin looked very healthy and full of youthful vitality. Her jet-black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and her face had a slight blush.

Casterly Rock is situated on a rocky mountain, where there is abundant sunshine, making it very easy for girls with delicate skin to get tanned.

The girl's curious gaze also fell on Yin Meng, so the two young people unsurprisingly met each other's eyes. They were both slightly stunned and quickly looked away as if fleeing.

"Mother."

"Brother."

Bessani's cheeks flushed slightly as she quickly avoided eye contact with Yin Meng, but her heart was still pounding. She then greeted her mother and brother.

"These two guests are..."

Although Besanne is quiet, she is very intelligent, quick-witted, and loves reading.

She also studied at the Economics Department in King's Landing for a period of time, under the tutelage of Missandei, the dean of the Economics Department.

Because the old order had been shattered and women could also study at the academy, Bessanee returned to Casterly Rock after graduating from the academy a year ago.

The moment she saw Yin Meng, she was immediately smitten. After all, what girl doesn't dream of love, especially when it comes to such a noble, handsome, silver-haired man?

Then, Bessani's attention immediately fell on Yin Meng's physical features: silver-gold hair, pale purple eyes, and a handsome appearance...

Isn't this a characteristic of the Targaryen royal family?

Although the Empire is now a vast nation spanning two continents, with multiple ethnicities, languages, cultures, and even intelligent races, silver hair and purple eyes are not exclusive to the Targaryen royal family; there are also many Valyrian descendants on the Eastern Continent.

But who else but a member of the Targaryen royal family could be allowed to enter and leave Casterly Rock and have his mother and brother stand respectfully to his side?

The girl from the Toin family was very clever; with just a slight thought, she arrived at the answer in an instant.

Could he be Prince Yin Meng?

Bessane couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.

Since Prince Immon is currently the only young male Targaryen with silver hair and purple eyes, guessing the answer is not difficult.

And if this silver-haired, purple-eyed youth before them is indeed Prince Yin Meng…

The dwarf beside him must be the famous Lord Tyrion Lannister, the Emperor's advisor.
