Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

This also indirectly confirms that the other party has been hiding in King's Landing and has not left.

News from the outside world was brought over by the little bird. Varys' bald head is now covered with wrinkles, but his unchanging hobby is still wearing brightly colored clothes and having a feminine scent.

His eyebrows were sparse but already white. Looking at the intelligence in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, forming a knot, and then he subtly relaxed them.

"Your Majesty the Queen."

The bald eunuch sighed softly and handed the intelligence report to Queen Ariane verbatim.

Varys was extremely respectful to Arianne. The two seemed to be from different eras; Varys was very old, while Arianne was still radiant and beautiful.

Even Arianne's eldest daughter, Princess Diana Targaryen, stood beside her mother, and the two looked more like sisters than mother and daughter.

"This little Yin Meng..."

After reading the intelligence that Varys handed over, Arianne raised an eyebrow, then shook her head and spoke.

"Diana, come and see what your brother has done."

After reading the information, Arianne handed it to her daughter. Diana was initially a little confused, but after reading it, she couldn't help but smile.

"This...is indeed my way of doing things."

Yin Meng and Heros are truly two completely opposite people; their ways of doing things and their methods are all different.

However, it was precisely Yin Meng, whom many considered 'not talented enough,' who defeated Heros.

"So, Diana, do you have an answer to the question we just discussed?"

Then, Arianne looked at the expression on her daughter's face, and then asked in a serious tone.

The woman with silver-gold hair remained silent for a moment before finally nodding.

“I’ve made up my mind, Mother.”

On the other side, the old eunuch Varys, sitting in the main hall, looked down at the floor, his white eyebrows drooping. Hearing the princess's words, he twitched slightly, took a deep breath, but remained expressionless.

Having served as a retainer of the Targaryen royal family for so many years, wielding great power and weathering countless storms, he was no longer the Varys he once was.

Just as Tyrion is no longer the mischievous imp he once was.

Decades have passed, from youth to middle age and then to old age, everything has changed, and they have become strangers to each other.

The cunning old eunuch Varys was so nervous because what had just happened could shake the court if it got out.

Queen Regent Arianne, in front of Varys, attempted to secretly bestow the throne upon Princess Diana Targaryen.

However, after careful consideration, the eldest princess rejected the throne offered to her by her mother, claiming that there was a better heir to the position left by her father, but that person was not herself.

Queen Arianne and Princess Diana, mother and daughter of the Targaryen family, had a frank conversation that made Varys extremely uncomfortable.

He even considered getting up to leave, but after a mental struggle, he ultimately remained dejected.

This matter is enough to overturn the imperial court.

Did Regent Arianne obtain the consent of the other two empresses, Rhaenys and Daenerys, before she attempted to bestow the throne upon him privately?

Princess Varys was even more impressed by the princess's answer.

He hadn't expected that someone would resist the temptation of the imperial throne. After all, the Valyrian Empire now ruled almost half of the known world and was a true world hegemon at its zenith.

However, as the eldest princess with the right to inherit the throne, Diana Targaryen resisted this readily available temptation, stayed true to herself, and politely declined the position that her mother had secretly offered her.

She claimed that there was someone more suitable than herself.

Who would be more suited to inherit this country than His Majesty the Emperor's eldest daughter, Princess Diana?

She only had two younger brothers, Herod Targaryen, born to Queen Rhaenys, and Immon Targaryen, born to Queen Daenerys.

A few days ago, perhaps everyone would have thought that the eldest princess would firmly support the eldest prince, Heros.

Because the two were childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship since they were young, they were even engaged when they grew up. Now, the princess is Heros's fiancée.

However, it was precisely because of this relationship that Diana ruthlessly betrayed her fiancé. With the help of the Iron Fleet, she once again blitzkrieg captured King's Landing without bloodshed, directly destroying all of Heros's foundations and forcing him to flee on a dragon.

Given this, Heros, who was just betrayed by Diana, is certainly not the more suitable candidate for the throne that Diana spoke of.

Then she only had one younger brother left, the Second Prince Yin Meng, who had just defeated Heros on the main battlefield and was now entering the city.

Chapter 1084 Yangji City

Yin Meng took full responsibility, cut his own arm as punishment, and won everyone's applause and respect.

He then endured the pain and walked step by step toward the Red Fortress, with more and more people following and surrounding him.

By the time the silver-haired youth reached the square beneath the Red Castle, the crowd surrounding him stretched as far as the eye could see.

They crowded the streets from all directions, watching Yin Meng walk up the long steps leading to the Red Castle.

They sincerely hoped and prayed that this kind-hearted and courageous prince could safely overcome this calamity.

Tap tap...

Yin Meng stepped down the long staircase one by one, and finally made his way through the gates of the Red Keep.

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness, Second Prince."

Here, Tyrion Lannister, Yinmeng's most important advisor and a man of great responsibility, and his Kingsguard, Edric Dayne, the Sword of the Dawn, stood at the door to greet Yinmeng.

Unfortunately, Yin Meng saw that the two of them had finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to collapse to the ground, but was caught by the quick-thinking Edric Dane.

Yin Meng's face was pale due to excessive blood loss, and she even nearly fainted.

Tyrion and the Sword of the Morning, who were on the side of the Second Prince, already knew what was happening outside.

They had mixed feelings about the matter.

What pleased them was that Yin Meng had won the love and respect of the people of King's Landing through his actions. At the same time, his golden blood was regarded as a miracle and a 'chosen one,' otherwise he would not have attracted so many onlookers.

The two were worried about something simple: Princess Eldest had blitzed King's Landing and Queen Ariane had regained power.

Having learned from the example of the First Prince Heros, Her Majesty the Empress will naturally be wary of Yin Meng and may well strike first.

Now he is at the mercy of others. Although His Highness Yinmeng has no worries about his personal safety because of Queen Daenerys, he is bound to be manipulated and may even be placed under house arrest in King's Landing.

"Your Highness."

Edric Dane embraced the nearly fainting Yin Meng, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

With so much blood lost, an ordinary person would probably have collapsed long ago.

However, the prince was only pale-faced, but his mental state was still okay. He turned his head and looked back at the long steps below, where golden bloodstains seemed to have seeped into the stone slabs. This made him marvel that this could be the legendary bloodline of a true dragon.

boom--

As Yin Meng ascended the long steps and entered the Red Castle, the castle gates slammed shut, isolating the outside world from the inner palace.

Although Yin Meng had lost a lot of blood, he recovered after resting for a while. The scholars hurriedly tried to apply medicine to stop the bleeding, but when they examined the wound, they found that it had healed on its own at some point, leaving only a scar.

Then, Yoon-Mong was led into the throne room to meet Queen Ariane and her sister Diana.

Fortunately, none of Yin Meng's worries came true on the way there.

Arianne did not blame or punish her son, but instead gave him a decree.

The decree from the Iron Throne authorized Immon to mobilize troops from some of the provinces of Westeros to bring his brother, Heroes Targaryen, back to King's Landing to confess his sins.

Now that Heros has left on his dragon, no one knows where he went. Immon was able to mobilize the armies of the Westerlands, Stormlands, and Reach. The decree given to him by Ariane was an official endorsement for Immon, and he could even mobilize the Imperial Legion stationed in Oldtown.

Faced with this situation in the imperial court, Yin Meng naturally had no better choice.

He had no choice but to accept his mother's decree and devote himself wholeheartedly to finding and bringing his brother back.

...

On the other side...

Heros rode away from King's Landing on the golden dragon Terex.

The battle for the throne has failed.

He went from being a high-ranking regent prince to a homeless dog, and after wandering around, he discovered that the world was vast, but he had nowhere to go.

The advancing northern army would inevitably destroy all his bases in the Riverlands and the Vale, and with his brother Immon pursuing him, fleeing there would only be another defeat.

Therefore, Heros could only look further afield, hoping that his sister Diana, who had betrayed him, and his brother Immon would kill each other, giving him a chance to make a comeback.

There was no place for him on the vast continent of Essos unless he was willing to fly all the way to the east of the Bone Mountains, to the Golden Dynasty, or even further to the Shadowlands and the Gray Wasteland.

However, once he escaped there, Heros truly became a stray dog, and might never have another chance to make a comeback.

He was not content with this.

Therefore, after much deliberation, since he hoped that his sister Diana and brother Immanuel would kill each other, there was only one place where he could hide in peace for a while and have a chance to make a comeback.

That's Dorn.

Dorne has always been a staunch supporter of Heros, after all, Heros has some Dorne blood flowing through his veins.

"Thales, thank you for your help."

Having made up his mind, Heros did not hesitate and rode the dragon Terex toward Dorn.

"Roar--"

The colossal golden dragon, which blotted out the sky, didn't say much about its companion's request. It simply let out a low roar and then spread its wings and disappeared into the horizon.

Dorne's capital is Sunspear, the home of House Martell, and this is where Heros is headed.

King's Landing is thousands of miles away from Sunspear City, but for the dragons it's only a few days' journey.

When Herros arrived in Sunspear City on his Thérex, he was warmly welcomed by the Martell family.

The current head of the Martell family is Prince Quentin Martell, the eldest son of Prince Doran. Quentin is short, sturdy, and of average appearance. He is serious and does not smile easily.

However, Quentin, who attended Viserys' wedding back then, is now over forty years old.

Although his father, Prince Doran, who was over eighty years old, was seriously ill and bedridden, he was not yet dead. Therefore, Quentin had no choice but to obediently be his prince, rather than the prince of Dorne.

"uncle."

When Heros met Quentin and Tristan, he should have addressed them as uncles, but the two Dornish princes did not dare to address them as nephews so openly.

"Your Highness."
