Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

However, the worst part is that this Commander Mei is actually one of the Crown Prince Heros's men.

Therefore, Tyrion knew he was being watched by spies from the Interior Ministry, and he kept praying that he would not run into this ruthless woman.

Unfortunately, reality did not go as planned.

The wicked woman now appearing before Tyrion, her figure looming in the candlelight, is none other than Messaria, the 'Pale Lady,' a figure shrouded in mystery among the Empire's high command.

Her gaze was calm, fixed on Tyrion.

Chapter 1044 Torture Interrogation

Someone came forward and brought over the water Tyrion had asked for, placing it in front of him.

Tyrion, his throat parched, disregarded the possibility of poison in the cup and downed it in one gulp.

"Lord Tyrion, it's nice to see you again."

Then, the woman standing in front of Tyrion, who looked quiet and like a young girl, made a gesture.

As the woman was making gestures, a young girl's voice came from not far away from her.

Tyrion couldn't help but turn his head to look over, but the other side was shrouded in darkness.

From his angle, he could only vaguely see the outline of a girl; the rest was completely obscured.

"Commander Xiaomei."

Tyrion felt a surge of fear; after all, anyone who was forcibly brought to such a place would feel terrified.

Tyrion, besides being a dwarf with a brain smarter than average, also experiences fear and dread.

Why did you bring me here?

Tyrion shook his bandaged head, looking around as if trying to figure out where he was. His voice echoed in the empty room.

This was clearly a pointless question, but Tyrion asked it anyway, because he decided to play dumb and figure out the other party's purpose before he could respond.

Tyrion is now bound to a wooden frame, his limbs chained, which is not a comfortable position. Moreover, the surrounding environment is harsh, the air is damp, and you can smell the dirt.

It was clear that they were currently in a basement, which should be one of the bases of the Ministry of the Interior's agents and spies in Lannisport.

Meanwhile, the third Grand Master of the Interior quietly watched Tyrion. She saw the translator's gesture conveying Tyrion's words, then paused for a moment before making a gesture herself.

She stopped trying to reason with Tyrion and asked him directly.

"What happened to what Prince Imon entrusted to you?"

This time, the voice still came from the darkness to Tyrion's right, but the one asking the question was Miss May in front of him.

She didn't interrogate Tyrion about why he betrayed Horos, or how his wife and children escaped from King's Landing.

Tyrion actually appeared on the northward journey by ship, so his purpose is not hard to guess.

After all, for Prince Imon, the only way out of this predicament is through his sister, Princess Diana.

Tyrion knew, Aemon knew, and the shrewd and resourceful First Prince Herlos naturally knew as well.

Although he is now focused on targeting his younger brother Aemon, Heros has never let his guard down against Diana, even though he believes that Diana would not side with Aemon to oppose him.

However, Herros still sent an envoy from King's Landing to the distant Wall in advance to persuade his sister not to interfere in the matter.

Messaria's appearance at Lannister Harbor and her capture of Tyrion Lannister was purely an unexpected bonus.

In fact, she was there to target the Torne family, who were allied with Aemon Targaryen.

Although she received news that Tyrion had disappeared from Highgarden and his whereabouts were unknown.

They also considered that Tyrion might have been ordered by the Second Prince to go to the North to persuade the Eldest Princess.

Messaria was merely a figurehead, but unexpectedly, an Interior Ministry spy actually discovered Tyrion in disguise.

So they decisively kidnapped the other party, hoping to find Prince Imon's handwritten letter or some kind of token from the princess.

Since His Highness Eamon has sought help from Princess Diana, he must have some trump card that can persuade her.

Otherwise, given the relationship between the eldest princess and the first prince, Prince Imon would not have come to invite such humiliation.

Therefore, while Messalia ordered someone to bandage Tyrion's wounds, she also ordered someone to search Tyrion.

Sure enough, they found a handwritten letter from Prince Aemon to the eldest princess on Tyrion's person.

The letter was very simple, beginning with a brief reminiscing between Aemon and his sister.

Then it was mentioned that Tyrion was sent as an envoy to keep him by Diana's side as an assistant.

He had already drawn away all of his brother Heros's forces as per their secret agreement. All that remained was for Diana to lead her troops south. She personally rode the Red Queen in a surprise attack on the Dragonstone fleet, allowing the Northern army to bypass the land and directly attack King's Landing by ship.

Even if Heros realized what was happening by then, it would be too late.

After all, Tyrex, the dragon overlord of Heros, was actually smaller than his sister, the Red Queen Vaghar.

Moreover, with the entire Dragonstone fleet wiped out, King's Landing no longer had any force capable of defending itself from the sea.

Even if Herlos hastily redeployed his troops to defend King's Landing, it would be too late. Once the Northern army was at the city gates, it would only be a matter of time before King's Landing was breached.

At that time, Aemon willingly served his sister to ascend the throne and become the first empress of the Valyrian Empire.

In the letter, Aemon wrote about his resentment towards his elder brother Heros, roughly meaning that he would rather his sister ascend the throne than his brother, and so on.

When the letter was found in Tyrion's possession, one corner was stained with blood.

But after reading the above, Mesalia's first thought was one of suspicion.

Because the letter was so provocative, it was almost an attempt to lure the eldest prince, Herod, into being wary of his sister, Diana.

However, upon closer examination, it becomes unsettling, as the contents of the letter seem highly credible; it's better to believe it than not.

Her Highness the Eldest Princess is no ordinary woman; everyone in the empire knows this.

Her Highness the Eldest Princess has never believed that just because she is a woman, she should do this or that. Instead, she believes that women can do what men can do, and that she should not rely on anyone.

Therefore, there is no doubt that Diana Targaryen coveted the Valyrian throne.

However, although doubts arose in her heart, she still had a vague feeling of unease.

Messalia decided to try to trick Tyrion, but Tyrion insisted that the only letter His Highness Aemon had given him was this one handwritten letter, and there were no other letters or tokens.

Tyrion was impervious to any persuasion, yet this seemingly gentle Commander Mei was not a very patient person.

Moreover, the Ministry of Internal Affairs' corporate culture is based on cruel punishments to pry open prisoners' mouths.

As a result, one of Tyrion's fingernails was forcibly ripped off, and Tyrion nearly fainted again.

However, just as Tyrion was being tortured, a sudden burst of chaotic noise came from outside.

"Ok?"

Standing directly opposite Tyrion, Mei frowned slightly.

Chapter 1045 Rescue

Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside, and you could even hear sounds of fighting and screams.

It is clear.

Someone has broken into this secret outpost of the Ministry of the Interior in Lannisport.

Tyrion, who was tied to the wooden frame and had one of his fingernails ripped off, was now in a daze.

He also heard the sound and tried to lift his head, but he was too weak due to excessive blood loss.

Meanwhile, the internal affairs agents in the underground room also changed their expressions slightly, and the girl translator hidden in the darkness frantically gestured to Commander Xiaomei to leave quickly.

However, just as the head of the empire's largest intelligence and special operations agency was about to get up and leave through the back door, all the noise outside suddenly stopped.

The air was so quiet you could hear everyone breathing.

"what happened?"

"The intruders have been eliminated?"

The pale-skinned woman paused slightly as she prepared to leave, then used sign language to ask a question, which puzzled the other agents in the room.

They all drew their weapons and stood ready, including two crossbows that were classified as controlled weapons in the imperial army, with the bolts strung and aimed at the gate.

The crossbow was definitely a deadly weapon in the era of cold weapons. Even if an old person, a child, or a woman got her hands on a crossbow, she could easily pose a life-threatening threat to a strong man without much training.

Crossbows have always been standard issue for the Ministry of the Interior in the empire, and its agents and spies often carry them on missions.

However, just as the black-clad agents inside were about to pry open the door to check the situation outside, the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.

bang——

The door was kicked open, and a dark figure rushed in.

"Kill him!"

The spies inside the house were already on high alert.

bang bang—

Immediately, the strings of two crossbows snapped open, and bolts shot out from the darkness, hitting the intruding shadowy figure with perfect accuracy.

But when the dark figure fell to the ground, wounded by an arrow, the masked or masked agents present changed their expressions abruptly after seeing him clearly.

Because this is hardly an intruder.

This is clearly the corpse of one of their companions!

"Oops!"

The expressions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs agents all changed, especially the man in black who was firing two crossbows.

Before they could even react, the sound of crossbow bolts piercing the air once again erupted from the darkness outside the gate.

This time, the crossbow was aimed very accurately, striking a man in black squarely in the throat.

puff--

A sharp crossbow bolt pierced through the back of his neck, and blood splattered onto the basement wall behind him in an instant.

"Protect the adults and evacuate!"

The other black-clad agents also reacted at this moment, and, armed with weapons, charged forward again without fear of death.
