Chapter 483: Sea Serpent: I want a new heir
Chapter 483 Sea Serpent: I want a new heir
Everyone was shocked beyond measure.
Since the founding of the country, there have only been kings who have died, but no majesty who has voluntarily abdicated the throne.
Viserys’s sincere speech was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of those present.
"No!"
Damon stood up suddenly and said with a gloomy face: "I don't agree. You are my brother, and I only agree with you being the king."
If Viserys dies of illness, he will not object to someone taking the throne.
But his brother was still alive, so he could not retreat from the throne and cast him aside.
Viserys was silent, showing the sternness of his elder brother, with a solemn expression: "Damon, you are my younger brother, you should support my decision-making."
Daemon’s eyes were as sharp as a hawk, staring straight at his brother.
The two brothers looked at each other, clashing with each other in a silent sword fight.
Rhaegar was sandwiched between the two of them, his mind was in confusion and he was unable to speak.
He was shocked.
There is no doubt about this.
When he went to wake his father up, he only discussed punishing the sea snakes and formulating a five-year development plan for King's Landing, the Stepstone Islands, and the city-states of the Three Women's Kingdom.
Abdication to make way for talents?
It’s just nonsense, I’ve never heard of it.
Rhaegar didn't react for a moment, and a storm of thoughts set off in his mind.
“Father, do you want to abdicate?”
A matter summarized in just one sentence is far more important than the beginning and end of a war.
“Rhaega, Rhaegar,”
There was a soft whisper in my ear.
Rhaegar stopped internal friction and his thinking returned to normal.
Look down and see.
Rhaenyra looked nervous and tugged on his sleeves secretly, reminding him quickly: "You have to say something."
Rhaegar was slightly startled.
Rhaenyra's eyes widened, and she seemed to hate the iron. She whispered, "Don't let down your father's wishes."
Father's health is getting weaker and weaker, and he is no longer able to govern.
All threatening figures such as Alisson, Corliss and Dimon are scattered and unable to form effective resistance.
Taking advantage of the great achievements at the end of the war, Rhaegar succeeded to the throne and inherited the prosperous kingdom left by his great-grandfather and father.
Rhaegar Kabak's eyes were fixed on Rhaenyra as he had done when he was a child.
Looking down, he looked at Belron, who was sleeping soundly.
The little guy slept soundly. He was very cute, like a clingy little beast.
Rhaegar took a breath and replayed the clips of his father, Rhaenyra, and the two children in his mind, and he suddenly felt reassured.
A sentence flashed through my mind.
“The time has come!”
Viserys looked away from Daemon and asked: "Rhaegar, tell your father what you are thinking at this moment?"
Damon's eyes were gloomy, and his palms resting on the table clenched the wine cup tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white.
The sudden news was unacceptable to him.
When my brother was young, he refused to even decide on him as his heir.
When a person reaches middle age, he has to pass the throne to his nephew without authorization.
Jealousy changed him beyond recognition.
Corliss, Rhaenys and others all looked shocked and could not say anything.
The king abdicates and installs a successor.
This is the first time this has happened in more than a hundred years since the founding of the Targaryen dynasty.
This matter is no small matter.
Only one person.
Allison lowered his head, closed his eyes tightly, and kept praying to the seven gods.
It is not difficult to tell from her slightly trembling body.
She is afraid!
“Father, I agree!”
Facing his father’s direct question, Rhaegar was no longer speechless and said loudly and forcefully: “If you get tired of sitting on that iron chair, I will sit on it from now on.”
“I guarantee that the Targaryen Dynasty will usher in a new era of dragons!”
As he spoke, his eyes were very firm, like a sharp sword.
"good!"
Viserys praised loudly, his frail body panting heavily and trembling with excitement: "My child, the Iron Throne is yours."
Conquer new territories, restore peace to your kingdom, and watch your eldest son ascend the throne.
After completing these three things, his life will be worthy of his time.
boom-
The wine cup hit the table so hard that the dinner plate was shaken.
Damen's face was extremely gloomy, and he turned around and walked out without caring about the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers.
It’s not about being angry or jealous.
But the elder brother did not regard him as a member of the family.
He was the one who was excluded from the beginning to the end.
“Damon, stop!”
Having just taken three or two steps, Viserys's breathless voice shouted from behind.
Damon paused, looked back at the eager face, and said with a temper: "You have the best heir in the world, what else do you ask me to do."
“You bastard, do you have to make me angry to death!?”
Viserys was furious, with an unnatural flush on his face, and yelled loudly: "You only have me as your ally in the court, and everything I gave you has been wasted at will."
Daemon curled his lips and sneered.
Viserys continued, angrily saying: "I am about to abdicate. Do you want to continue to be arrogant and like a child who will never grow up?"
Hearing this, Dai Meng’s stern face changed slightly, and the defenses in his heart relaxed.
Viserys sighed deeply and said: "Rhaegar is my eldest son, and his ability is obvious to all. You are his uncle, and you are his right-hand man."
Finally, he looked directly into Damon's eyes and gave a serious advice: "Brother, don't let me teach you how to treat a king again."
He withdrew from the center of power, leaving Dimon completely alone.
No one will protect a willful libertine anymore.
These words pierced his heart. Damon was rarely quiet and stubbornly turned his head to the side.
His heart was beating wildly, and the fingers that were bending the bow and raising the sword were twitching slightly.
The last time he had a heated argument with Viserys seemed to be the night after his good nephew was born.
The first night, in the brothel of Flea Bottom, he mocked his good nephew as "a prince for a day."
That night, he was discovered by Otto's spy, and the news was presented to Viserys, who was heartbroken after losing his wife. He was scolded by his brother and almost had his tongue pulled out.
This time, the quarrel was also about the good nephew.
Damon thought hard, and there were ten thousand rebuttals in his mind, but he couldn't squeeze out a single word.
Last time, he retorted.
He scolded Viserys for his cowardice and was sucked by the leeches of the Royal Council.
Subsequently, he was driven out of King's Landing for the first time.
This time, Dimon chose to remain silent.
It is not that he is afraid of Viserys, he knows that the other side will not be cruel to him.
He was unable to refute.
Viserys’s decision was not wrong, and the good nephew’s hand was indeed tough enough.
He just...
Damon lowered his eyes and stared sideways at the younger Rhaegar, with a hint of jealousy in his indifferent eyes.
Viserys could never trust him as much as he trusted his good nephew.
He shouldn't be at this dinner party, he shouldn't be at the Red Castle.
Looks like he is just a poor guy who squeezed in.
Daemon looked at Rhaegar, and Rhaegar looked at him.
Rhaegar's long hair hung down on his shoulders, and his eyes seemed to be looking into Dai Meng's heart.
He did not speak rashly.
Speak words of advice to Daemon or comfort his father.
This is a quarrel that belongs exclusively to the previous generation, and there is no room for him to intervene.
Every word he says will affect the two brothers' thoughts.
Just like everyone present, he also chose to remain silent.
“Damon!”
Viserys spoke again, almost commanding: "Sit back in your seat and don't make me say it a second time."
The words fell.
Lanner quickly looked at her husband, with deep worry in her eyes.
She did not want her husband to offend the king and be kicked out of the royal family again.
Damon glanced sideways, not paying any attention to his wife's plea.
What he wants to do cannot be swayed by others.
Viserys stared at it closely, angrily scolding: "Don't influence this bastard, let him decide whether to stay or go!"
Before abdicating the throne, he must see Dimon’s determination.
…
There was a sound of footsteps, and there was a sound of landing.
Damon looked awkward, turned around in two steps, pulled out the chair and sat down heavily.
The chair legs made a harsh creaking sound as they rubbed against the marble floor.
Like a naughty boy who was scolded by his parents and deliberately seeks to gain a sense of presence.
"Hmph!" Viserys snorted coldly upon seeing this, his stern face relaxed slightly, and his anger-filled brain was rarely refreshed.
Even though this **** still has some conscience.
Damon looked disgusted, raised his glass and took a big sip of wine.
He would rather have his conscience licked clean by wild dogs that are eating on the street.
Viserys ignored him and told his eldest son: "Rhaegar, don't worry about Daemon being my brother. Send him as you please from now on."
Rhaegar:…
Looking left and right at the two angry middle-aged men, I felt speechless for a while.
If Aegon or Aemond dared to disrespect him in this way, they would have their teeth smashed and they would be lying on the ground begging for mercy.
Of course, my father is not good at martial arts.
He was just asking himself in another way not to kill his good uncle at will.
“Puff!”
Damon obviously heard the deep meaning and sneered disdainfully.
A black line appeared on Rhaegar's forehead, and he said speechlessly: "Yes, father."
I will definitely not have any scruples.
“Good boy.”
Viserys was satisfied and his face was a little more rosy.
The conversation changed.
Looking at Corliss, who looked like he was watching a show, he said sincerely: "While I'm still here, if you have any requests, you can put them forward."
He was not an exceptionally good king. All the glory and disgrace of the kingdom depended on the political legacy left by his grandfather, King Renrui.
Having reaped the dividends from his predecessors, he also wanted to leave more invisible wealth to his eldest son.
The ministers of the Royal Council are very good and can share the burden of the king.
But the Kingdom has newly occupied the Stepstone Islands, the Disputed Lands, and the Dorne Territory, and the Royal Council cannot cover everything.
Daemon and the Sea Serpent are the most important weapons for ruling the territories beyond the narrow sea.
The eldest son is cruel and cruel, and it is difficult to tolerate the two of them.
He has to put aside his prejudices and win over himself.
Colliss suppressed his outward emotions and showed his true ability: "Your Majesty, your sincerity touches my heart. Please forgive me for speaking frankly."
Since the other party is serious, there is no need for him to be imaginary.
be honest and open.
Viserys waved his hand and said with a smile: "My court always encourages its ministers to dare to speak out."
Collis nodded in approval and spoke out his request: "I lost an heir. Chaotou Island has no successor lord. I ask the royal family to compensate me for a new heir."
…”
Rhaegar and Viserys looked at each other in surprise.
How to compensate for this thing?
Rhaenys was belatedly aware of the situation and stared sharply at the sea snake.
Where does the royal family compensate an heir?
Unless the husband has other candidates.
Thinking together, even though she is as confident as she is, a woman's nature still begins to be suspicious.
Children don’t understand, and adults look at Rhaenys with a bit more suspicion.
Especially Damon.
His face suddenly recovered. He stared at the sea snake in surprise at first, and then his eyes gradually became amused.
This brother-in-law and father-in-law has something special!
