From the beginning of the game of power, I became the protagonist

After gaining the allegiance of most of his vassals, Stannis Baratheon's strength increased greatly, and he even defeated the new Queen of the Iron Islands, Yara Greyjoy, in a naval battle, becoming the most powerful king.

Afterwards, after mobilizing all his forces, Stannis divided his troops into two groups, land and sea, and attacked Lord Tywin's cavalry of the Rock on land.

As for the water, they headed straight for King's Landing, which had completely lost its defense, intending to capture the royal city in one fell swoop.

Then, like the TV series, it failed as expected.

And the reasons for failure are basically the same as in the TV series.

The only two differences are that, first, Stannis did not survive the war and was hacked to death on the spot by Brienne of Arc, the "Beauty", who vowed to avenge Renly.

The second is that Tyrion Lannister, who should have been injured and disfigured in this war, was unharmed this time. Instead, Joffrey, the king, was shot in the eye by a stray arrow and became a one-eyed dragon.

Next, after the war, Lord Tywin, who had completely mastered the power of King's Landing, ignored the opposition and forced Joffrey, who was no longer able to govern, to abdicate and replace the dead Stannis as the Duke of Dragonstone, and instead nominated Tommen Baratheon to ascend the Iron Throne.

And he contacted the North immediately to express his desire to continue the marriage.

And to show his sincerity, Lord Tywin also asked Tyrion Lannister to go to the North in person to make this request to Lord Eddard, and he also brought another person with him, the golden-haired Princess Myrcella Baratheon.

However, this time, the marriage partner chosen by the Lannister family for her was not Trystane Martell in the TV series, but Jon Snow, who is known as the Storm Sword Master.

Yes, Duke Tywin meant to marry the royal princess to Chen Hui, who was obviously an illegitimate son.

This is really interesting.

Quickly recalling the plot of the TV series in his mind, Chen Hui soon understood the specific purpose of Duke Tywin's plans.

The reason why Tyrion Lannister was seriously injured and disfigured in the TV series was actually because of the work of his own people. It was probably arranged by Lord Tywin, who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get rid of this son who made him feel deeply ashamed.

However, in this world, Chen Hui's sudden appearance shocked all the powerful people with his overwhelming military force.

Therefore, in order to prevent Chen Hui's sword from suddenly falling on his head one day, Duke Tywin made three arrangements: one was to let go of Tyrion Lannister, who had a good relationship with Chen Hui, and instead attack Joffrey, allowing Tommen to ascend the Iron Throne to reduce Chen Hui's hostility towards the Lion family.

The second is to continue the marriage alliance with the Wolf family, let Sansa Stark marry Tommen Baratheon and become queen, let the children of the Lion family and the Wolf family become in-laws, reduce the hostility of the Wolf family, and help Tommen consolidate his throne.

In fact, the 'Queen of Thorns' Olenna Redwyne had the same idea, which was why she would rather give up her throne as queen and let her most beloved granddaughter marry into a poor and remote place like the North.

It is pure nonsense to say that they are afraid of the military strength of the North. After all, Highgarden and the North do not border each other, and the Northern army cannot cross the Riverlands and Casterly Rock to directly threaten Highgarden.

In the final analysis, they were still afraid of Chen Hui's powerful military force that could defeat thousands of enemies at once, so they wanted to maintain good relations with the Northern Territory to avoid being attacked by Chen Hui one day.

After all, neither Duke Tywin nor the Queen of Thorns believed that the defensive capabilities of their own castles could surpass the Red Keep in King's Landing, and could render Chen Hui, the Storm Sword Master, helpless.

The more powerful a person is, the more he fears death, especially those extraordinary beings that go beyond the norm, because there is really no way to deal with or control them.

However, unlike the 'Queen of Thorns' who had incomplete intelligence, since his children had direct contact with Chen Hui, Duke Tywin could judge that Chen Hui was not necessarily obedient to Duke Eddard, and had his own judgment on everything. The Stark family's influence on him should be very limited.

Therefore, in order to ensure that everything goes smoothly, Lord Tywin used the third trick in one go and directly married Princess Myrcella Baratheon to Chen Hui.

In this way, this peerless sword completely lost all threat to the Lannisters.

After all, Chen Hui couldn't kill his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and his wife's grandfather with one sword.

What's more, this might even solve the issue of heirs.

Lord Tywin knew very well that although his granddaughter bore the Baratheon surname, she was actually a 100% Lannister at heart.

If Chen Hui and this granddaughter get married, the child born will be half Lannister.

Since Chen Hui was an illegitimate child, his surname Snow was insignificant, so Lord Tywin could adopt their child as his adopted son, give him the surname Lannister, and let him inherit Casterly Rock.

In this way, both in terms of bloodline and surname, it will be the descendants of Lord Tywin who will inherit Casterly Rock.

Not only that, if Chen Hui's biological son inherits Casterly Rock, would he still be afraid that this Storm Sword Master would not protect the Lannisters?

Duke Tywin knew very well in his heart that whoever possessed the martial arts power of this peerless warrior would be able to live worry-free for a hundred years without having to worry about destruction.

This is like the dragon of the Targaryen family in the past, an absolutely invincible deterrent force.

Just by paying the price of a granddaughter of embarrassing status, he could get so many benefits. Being so cunning and shrewd, Duke Tywin was naturally happy to do it.

As for false reputation, haha, who cares except those young and foolish people?

Having tolerated Tyrion Lannister for so many years, Lord Tywin no longer cares about empty reputation.

What he cares about is real benefits.

Shaking his head with a smile, Chen Hui handed the letter to Daenerys beside him. The previous content was nothing.

But when she saw that Lord Tywin was actually planning to marry Chen Hui to his granddaughter, Daenerys, who had long been secretly in love with him, suddenly felt her face darken. She asked unhappily, "Jon, what are your plans?"

"What else can I do?" Chen Hui spread his hands and asked, "Do I still have any choice?"

If Duke Tywin had not done any preparation beforehand and had just sent his granddaughter to his door, Chen Hui would have naturally thought he was talking nonsense.

However, Duke Tywin had paid a huge price to achieve this marriage, and was even willing to cripple his own grandson in order to achieve the marriage with the Wolf family.

The sincerity is so great that if Chen Hui still ignores it, he will be trampling the face of the Lannister family into the mud.

By then, no matter how famous the 'Storm Sword Master' is, it will not stop Duke Tywin from fighting Chen Hui to the death.

After all, 'A Lannister must pay his debts'; if he still doesn't react after being slapped in the face like this, there's not much difference between Lord Tywin being alive and dead, so he might as well just give it a try.

After several months of experience, Daenerys, who has become quite proficient in political tactics, naturally understands this path, and this is why she is angry.

Why? The man she hasn't even gotten yet is going to marry someone else, and she can't stop it.

Seeing Daenerys's frustrated and depressed expression, Chen Hui winked at Barristan and Missandei, signaling them to step back first.

As for the protection duties of the Kingsguard, as long as Chen Hui is there, even thousands of troops cannot hurt Daenerys, so the two of them don't need to worry too much.

After watching the two people leave as instructed, Chen Hui placed his hand on Daenerys's shoulder and sighed softly, "As long as we are still human, we can't escape these worldly affairs. We all need to be more open-minded."

"After all, as nobles, we have received a lot, so it is only natural that we should give something back."

Knowing she couldn't stop Chen Hui, Daenerys took two deep breaths and turned around. She looked deeply into his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I won't stop you from going back, but there is one condition. You can't refuse me again today."

With that, Daenerys turned and walked into the room, slowly undressing herself until she was naked. She lay quietly on the bed, closed her eyes and waited.

He walked slowly towards the bed and stared at this crazy beautiful body. After a moment of struggle between conscience and desire, Chen Hui threw the ethics and morals of other worlds behind his head and pressed heavily onto the bed.

Now that things have come to this, if you back down again, you would be worse than an animal.

Forbidden pleasure is quite tempting, isn't it?

After all, when you go to Rome, you have to do as the Romans do.

Chapter 44: The Only Wife, the Only Gift

After a passionate lovemaking, Chen Hui told Daenerys his true identity.

When Daenerys learned that Chen Hui was also a Targaryen and the biological son of her eldest brother, she was surprised and filled with joy, and instantly figured out a series of things that had puzzled her before.

Why did Blackfyre recognize Chen Hui, why didn't the dragon attack Chen Hui, and why did he help him without asking for anything in return? It turned out that it was because Chen Hui was also a Targaryen like himself.

It turns out that I still have a blood relative in this world. This is really great.

As for having sex with one's nephew, isn't that a centuries-old tradition of the Targaryen family? This is only natural.

Now Daenerys only regrets that the wizard's black magic had ruined her body and she could no longer have children. Otherwise, she would immediately drag Chen Hui to continue until she became pregnant.

After gently comforting Daenerys who couldn't help crying in frustration, Chen Hui, who felt a little reluctant, promised that if he had any extra children in the future, he would give them to Daenerys as her children so that she would have successors.

After watching the girl in his arms gradually calm down, Chen Hui stood up and left the bed, while Daenerys came to the side and served her personally. Her well-behaved and intimate appearance was exactly the attitude of a wife towards her husband.

That's right, in Daenerys' heart, her future husband will only be Chen Hui, who is of the same clan as her, and there will be no other person.

After handing over the development plans of several cities for the next three years and some experience in dealing with possible events to Daenerys.

Chen Hui took Arya with him, and under Daenerys's reluctant gaze, they left Meereen by boat and headed towards the northern border of Westeros.

After more than ten days of sailing on the sea and about two days of traveling on land, Chen Hui and Arya returned to Winterfell and met Lord Eddard and his party who had been waiting for them.

Well, the little devil, the blonde princess, including the 'Queen of Thorns' and 'Rose of Highgarden' are all here now.

Seeing the blonde princess looking at him timidly as always, Chen Hui, knowing that this was his future wife, took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to her, smiling and saying, "Long time no see, Princess. This is a gift from me. Please take a look and see if you like it."

She opened the brocade box with some hesitation. Even with her wide knowledge, the blonde princess was shocked by the beauty and luxury of the things in the box and she covered her mouth and exclaimed softly.

This is a jewel necklace that cannot be described in words. Even for Princess Myrcella, she has never seen such exquisite craftsmanship.

Of course, it is impossible to have seen it. This is the Queen's treasure in the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, which was specially customized by Chen Hui for Zhou Zhiruo. It was made with the efforts of the whole country and there is only one such treasure in the world.

Chen Hui picked up the precious necklace that originally belonged to the queen and placed it on Myrcella's snow-white neck. As he put it on, he whispered, "Myrcella, this necklace is not only exquisitely crafted, but the largest gem on the top can also detect poison."

"If anything poisonous comes near it, this gem will change color and become hot. It is a supreme treasure, only one in the world."

That's right, even the 'poison testing powder' in Chen Hui's hand was made from a mixture of scraps scraped from this gem.

Hearing that this necklace was so magical, not only was Myrcella speechless with shock, but even the 'Rose of Highgarden' beside her showed a hint of jealousy.

Born into a wealthy family in High Court, she could get whatever she wanted, but she had never seen such a magical creation before, and she felt a little overwhelmed.

Olena frowned slightly upon seeing this, then immediately stood up and walked over. She calmly tugged at her precious granddaughter, who hadn't yet fully mastered the art of dance, instantly restoring her to her elegant and graceful demeanor. Then, she looked at Chen Hui with a kind smile and said, "You are truly thoughtful, child. This gift is truly fitting for a princess."

"Yes, it's really appropriate." After taking a look at the 'Queen of Thorns' who was approaching, Chen Hui was quite wary of this kind-looking old lady.

In the TV series, this guy was able to poison Joffrey in front of Lord Tywin without arousing any suspicion. This method was really amazing. Even Chen Hui had to give him a thumbs up.

It was precisely because he knew that the old lady was cruel and ruthless that Chen Hui specially gave Myrcella this protective treasure that was supposed to be inherited by the queen, to prevent this guy from doing something bad when he was not paying attention.

As for why it was not given to Daenerys, one reason was that she was protected by specially trained Kingsguard, and the other was that Chen Hui knew that Daenerys had an extraordinary destiny and was unlikely to be poisoned to death.

But Myrcella is different. In the TV series, this lovely little girl was really poisoned to death.

After gently squeezing Myrcella's delicate hand and watching the young budding girl blush and lower her head, Chen Hui pulled out a stack of papers from his pocket and handed them to Olenna Redwyne, saying with a smile, "It's our first meeting, so I'm sorry to show my respect. These are some health-preserving methods I've researched over the past few months. While they don't offer much combat power, they're effective in strengthening the body and prolonging life."

That’s right, this is the set of exercises that Chen Hui uses specifically for exchanging benefits. It is based on the introductory principles of “Postnatal Internal Alchemy” and is combined with the traditional Chinese medicine “Five Animal Exercises”.

Looking at the stack of papers handed to her, even the cunning Queen of Thorns couldn't help but breathe faster for a moment.

You know, she went to great lengths to marry her granddaughter to the desolate northern border, wasn't it just to get the powerful secret of the 'Storm Sword Master'?

But during the more than one month of getting along with each other, Olena realized that she might have made a wrong judgment.

Because after days of indirect inquiries from her and Margaery, the 'Queen of Thorns' discovered the secret of the 'Storm Swordmaster's' power, which even Duke Eddard did not quite understand.

Even Chen Hui himself has no subordinate relationship with the Stark family, and Stark's influence on him is quite limited. If he loses his granddaughter, he will probably suffer a huge loss.

Just when the 'Queen of Thorns' was feeling a little annoyed and regretful, and was wondering whether to cancel this marriage, Chen Hui suddenly made such a move, which immediately surprised and delighted her. She immediately pulled Chen Hui aside to chat.

Well, it’s called casual chatting, but it’s actually bargaining.

They are all old foxes with thousands of years of experience, and many exchanges of interests can be negotiated inadvertently.

details as follows:

Olenna: We in Highgarden have a precious granddaughter, and she has also paid a lot of dowry. Just some health knowledge may not be enough. We need more money.

Chen Hui: I can pay more money, but I have to wait until your granddaughter officially marries me and gives birth to children before I can give you the subsequent skills.

Olenna: We have many outstanding young people in Highgarden. How about asking the Swordmaster to teach them a few tricks?

Chen Hui: I have already taught Arya and have no interest in teaching others. However, if the two families are really one family, you can let Arya guide these people and I will not get involved.

Olenna: I actually have several illegitimate granddaughters who are both talented and beautiful. Would you mind taking some time to introduce them to the Sword Master?

Chen Hui: What do you think of me, old lady? I'm about to marry the princess! Ahem, we should at least wait a while before discussing this. How about we chat privately later?

. . . .

. . . .

. . . .

After a game that seemed harmonious on the surface but was actually full of swords and sabers, the two men reached the final agreement with a smile in front of everyone except Tyrion and Margaery, who were all confused about the situation.

There is no way, the thinking patterns of people in the North are really frustrating.

If Chen Hui didn't first discuss the terms clearly with this 'Queen of Thorns', he was really afraid that she would do the same thing to Robb Stark as she did to Joffrey in the TV series.

After all, he even dared to kill the king, so Chen Hui didn't think that this guy wouldn't dare to attack a mere duke's son.

As for the matter of his illegitimate granddaughter, Chen Hui said that it was all a strategy to appease the "Queen of Thorns" and he absolutely had no intention of using public power for personal gain.

No!!!!!.

Chapter 45 If you are not honest, gifts can also become weapons

After all the terms were agreed upon, the Queen of Thorns smiled and took the stack of papers containing the health-preserving exercises. She apologized to the Duke and Duchess of Eddard, who were still confused about the situation, "I'm so sorry, Lord Stark. I'm getting old and my spirits are a little low. I need to go get some rest. I'll excuse you for now."

Having said that, Olenna gave her granddaughter a subtle wink, then stood up and left with Duke Eddard nodding in greeting.

Seeing the figure of the 'Queen of Thorns' gradually disappear, Chen Hui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
