Chapter 482: Viserys: I'll just step aside!

 Chapter 482 Viserys: Just give up my position!

Seeing that neither Rhaegar nor his son said a word, Corliss felt something was wrong, and his anger grew in his heart.

 He shed his blood for the kingdom, and he gave his eldest son for the Targaryens.

 Everyone was silent. Could it be that they looked down on Velaryon.

Whether it is Westeros or the continent of Essos, contempt is always the greatest hostility of the noble class.

Just when he was about to continue questioning, Damon spoke again and sarcastically said: "What explanation do you want to give to tear up the peace conditions and carry the war to the end?"

 Does Velaryon have this right, or this strength?

Colliss glared angrily and said gloomily: "Damon, if you dare to challenge my authority again, I will not miss the old relationship."

Damon was dismissive and opened his mouth to curse again.

 “Damon!”

Lannaer gave a squeak, anger building in her eyes.

Damon and his wife looked at each other and reluctantly closed their mouths.

Lanner closed her eyes in pain, toasted her father with a glass of wine, and then drank it in one gulp.

 As a husband, Damon's disrespect for his father was a sign of contempt for her as his wife.

 She is a woman with a sensitive heart and does not want to suffer such slights.

Damon smiled and gave his brother a look asking for attention.

Viserys felt confused and thought to himself: "What is this **** doing?"

Corliss ignored his daughter's apology, looked directly at Viserys' pale face, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I want to know your attitude."

　　What he said was full of coercion.

 If he is not given a satisfactory answer tonight, he will reconsider the relationship between the two families.

 Resigned as Sea Lord and withdrew Velaryon's fleet.

Daemon has no control over him, but his wife Rhaenys and daughter Lanael, the Iron Throne will never let them ride the dragon again.

 This proves the indispensable importance of House Velaryon.

Hearing this, Viserys frowned and said displeasedly: "Sacrifice is part of war. Even I almost died. My child paid an eye for it."

 “Compensation is also part of war!”

Colliss’s eyes were burning and he would not let go.

Rhaegar drank half of the bowl of goat's milk, put the confused Bellon to sleep, and gave him a calm wink.

Opposite him, Aegon was always ready and stood up slowly with a slight cough.

Rhaenyra and Allison looked at the boy almost at the same time, with surprise in their eyes.

 What is this guy going to do?

Aegon pushed the chair away, walked around the table to Corlys and Rhaenys, and grabbed a handful of Helena's hair.

 Helena:…

Aemond glared angrily and shouted in his heart: "This guy is really sick."

 “Ahem.”

Aegon licked his lips, bent down and toasted Rhaenys with a glass of wine, and whispered: "Aunt, I feel very sorry for what happened to cousin Laninor. I hope you can come out of the shadows soon."

Rhaenys glanced at her and said politely, "I will."

 “Hmph!” Collis snorted coldly when he heard this.

The cat cries and the mouse pretends to be compassionate, who can show it to anyone?

Aegon turned his head, stared at Corliss with bright eyes, took the wine bottle and poured another glass of wine.

This time, everyone’s eyes were on him.

Aegon leaned a little closer, held the wine glass, and lowered his voice: "Lord Corlys, I am sorry that you have lost your eldest son."

Colliss stared straight ahead, raised his head and adjusted his collar, not bothering to pay him any attention.

Aegon was very cheeky. He stole a glance at Rhaenys to make sure she wasn't paying attention, and continued to close the distance.

Said in a tactful tone: "If you really regret losing your heir, why don't you personally give birth to another one. Although my aunt is old and yellow, I believe you are still young."

Hearing this, Collis froze immediately, unable to believe what he heard.

Aegon continued with a lewd smile: "Don't worry, even if you have an illegitimate child, it is not a strange thing among the nobles."

As soon as he finished speaking, Corliss was instantly ignited and exploded like a firecracker.

boom!

Colliss slapped the case and stood up, his eyes filled with anger and an evil glare.

 He guarantees it!

 He will make the king's second son pay the price for speaking out.

 The desk was slapped heavily, startling everyone present.

Sister Benila was startled and looked at her grandfather timidly.

 Helena and Aemond looked puzzled and stared at Corliss.

Little Darren was eating when he was startled by the noise and choked, his face turned red from suppressing it.

Only Damon was very calm and watched this scene with interest.

He was very curious about what shocking words the second nephew said to stir up the sea snake's dark heart.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Facing Corliss's terrifying courage of nine voyages, Aegon swallowed subconsciously and retreated with a guilty conscience.

 Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.

 Hurry up and get away.

 “Aegon, what did you say?”

 Allison looked at his son in surprise, wondering why he wanted to provoke him.

Rhaenys and Rhaenyra were equally surprised, their eyes darting back and forth between them.

Aegon should not be so stupid and take the initiative to provoke Corlys.

 With Corliss's energy-raising skills, he shouldn't be offended by a young boy.

at this time.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

Rhaegar handed Baerron over to Rhaenyra, bumped his legs against the chair, and stood up decisively.

Colliss looked at him with a hint of coldness.

Rhaegar said nothing, looked at him calmly, and provoked confrontation without concealment.

 As if to say: "Come to me if you have the ability!"

 He is the heir to the Iron Throne, the leader of his brothers and sisters, and the strongest dragon master in Targaryen.

If the sea snake is dissatisfied, just let your horse come over. Aegon buried his head and silently walked back to his original seat, showing an innocent face.

 All that needs to be said has been said.

“Prince, do you have anything to say?”

Colliss was shocked and angry, and asked in a cold voice.

Rhaegar had no expression on his face and said calmly: "Who are you talking to, sea snake!"

 In a tit-for-tat negotiation, the first thing to see is who loses his composure first.

Colliss wants to ask for help from others, so don’t try to act aloof.

I really thought that if a man and a woman fell in love with one Targaryen, they would be able to fall on all Targaryens.

If the position of the minister is still unclear, Rhaegar does not recommend treating him as the second Mond Hightower.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

Damon also stood up from the chair, held down Lanner's hand, and stared at Corliss eagerly.

The look on his face was like that of a hunter who has spotted a wild game.

Colliss looked away and glanced at his uncle and nephew with dark eyes, sneering in his heart.

 It turned out that I was waiting for him here, hoping to defeat him.

 For a time, the atmosphere of the dinner solidified, and the surrounding air seemed to drop to zero.

Rhaegar just stood there, like an insurmountable high wall, staring deeply.

 Collis clenched his fists with both hands. Even though his tall body was aging, he still exuded the aura of a battle-hardened warrior.

Dimon didn't need to say more, he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to take action.

 Tonight, someone has to pay the price.

　　咚! Boom!

Suddenly, there was a sudden knocking sound.

 Viserys clicked his fingers on the table, his expression extremely solemn, and he stood up slowly and stiffly.

"careful."

 Allison helped him from the side and reminded him as a habit.

 “Don’t worry, I’m not that fragile.”

Viserys patted her bare hand on her arm, looked at the three people standing there, and spoke: "I haven't died yet, and you have to argue in front of me, a dying old man?"

　　Specially glared at Damon, and said in a serious tone: "Even a dinner party can't even tolerate it, it has to be tense!"

Daemon's face fell, and he sat back in his seat angrily.

Viserys looked at Corliss, his expression unchanged: "Lord Corliss, sit down too!"

 Corliss was unmoved and looked unkindly.

Rhaenys glanced at her husband and turned her head helplessly.

Viserys was so displeased that he almost shouted: "Your king commands you, sit down!"

Colliss hesitated for a moment, weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and sat back in his chair.

"very good!"

Viserys took two breaths, first looked at his eldest son complicatedly, then looked around, and said sincerely: "Everyone, I know clearly that the family has hidden dangers, and we have some misunderstandings with each other."

Hearing this, Allison lowered his head lonely.

Little Darren noticed that his mother was unhappy and said: "Father..."

 “Don’t interrupt me!”

Viserys scolded him, and the younger son shrank his neck in fear, his face turned a little pale.

 The dinner was completely quiet, and everyone looked at the young king who was no longer young.

Viserys breathed heavily and continued: "We are dragons, descendants of the ancient Valyrian people. Unity is the core of strength."

 “I hope that everyone will complain less and be able to put aside their past grudges.”

Rhaegar still stood where he was, looking at his father blankly, hearing something beyond the meaning of the words.

Viserys understood what the sea serpent wanted, so he said: "Lord Corlys, I understand your request, and the Iron Throne will give you the answer you deserve."

 Compared to the eldest son's tough approach, he prefers to be gentle.

But he didn’t make any arbitrary decisions.

Viserys seemed to have thought of something, tears flashed in his eyes, and he sighed: "Look at me, my body is getting older and I am sleeping most of the day."

Damon lowered his eyes and looked at his brother's tired face, which was very different from what he remembered.

 My heart can’t help but be touched.

Viserys said, smiled in relief, and continued: "Just when I woke up from bed tonight, I suddenly realized something."

"I'm old!"

Paused for a moment, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Of course, compared to the longevity of my grandfather, King Renrui, I may be ten years younger."

　　No one present could laugh after hearing this joke.

Rhaenys had a sharp mind and said, "Viserys, what do you want to say?"

“Cousin, you can always guess what I’m thinking.”

 Viserys stopped his useless sighs, regained his serious expression, and said seriously: "The kingdom needs a young, responsible, and energetic king. I am obviously not qualified at this moment."

 Sighing deeply, as if admitting his shortcomings.

Viserys cast his gaze on his eldest son, his eyes filled with deep love, and said softly: "I think it's time to abdicate and hand over the throne to a qualified king."

 “Rhaegar!”

Viserys called out.

Rhaegar responded quickly as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Father, you..."

Viserys waved his hand with a look of reminiscence: "There is no need to refuse in a hurry, you are my eldest son, the boy Emma gave her life for, and you deserve everything."

 He did not mention Rhaegar's intelligence, strength, or the black dragon he controlled, or his qualifications as a leader in every war.

 In his eyes, Rhaegar's status as Emma's eldest son surpassed everything else.

 The above are only additional conditions and cannot dominate.

 Finally, his eyes scanned everyone present one by one.

Viserys's gaze returned to Rhaegar.

Looking at the handsome demon-like face, which vaguely had a hint of Emma, ​​he solemnly said: "Rhaega, my child, the iron chair that hurt me so deeply is entrusted to you."

 “Come and inherit my throne!”
