Chapter 313 The Willfulness of the Strong

"Good afternoon, Prince Linde." When Myrcella stepped down from the elevator, her feet were still a little weak and she needed the help of a maid to stand firm. However, she still behaved appropriately and saw the people waiting in the small room. Queen Linde in the garden took the initiative to salute.

"I don't have so many rules here." Lind looked at the fluffy skirt Myrcella was wearing and said to the head maid aside: "The clothes Myrcella is wearing are not suitable. Go and find a tight-fitting one for her." Warm service.”

"Yes, my lord." The head maid nodded in response, and then led Myrcella to the inner room.

Lynd asked Jon: "Have arrangements been made for those who followed Myrcella?"

Jon replied: "We have arranged for them to stay in Redemption Town."

Lind nodded, indicating that Jon could leave.

Not long after, Myrcella put on a warm hunting suit worn in winter. Her whole person looked heroic, which was completely different from the weakness she had shown just now.

"Very good, this dress suits you very well." Linde looked her up and down, nodded and said.

"It does look good," Myrcella nodded with satisfaction, but then wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "It's just a little hot."

"It doesn't matter, you won't feel the heat after a while." Linde motioned for Myrcella to follow him, and the two of them walked to the dragon's nest platform one after the other.

When Myrcella saw the lava dragon Neltharion lying on the platform, her breathing became a little faster. Her face was full of curiosity and excitement, but there was no fear.

While Myrcella was observing the giant dragon curiously, Lind took Myrcella's hand and walked onto the lava dragon's spread wings and climbed onto the saddle on the lava dragon's back.

Or maybe she realized something, Myrcella's face was full of surprise and excitement, and her breathing became a little faster.

"Sit on it." Linde pointed to a special small seat at the front of the dragon saddle and said.

Myrcella was so excited that she was a little overwhelmed. Although she wanted to sit astride the dragon's saddle, her legs were not in control.

Seeing this, Lind couldn't help but smile, stretched out his hand to lift Myrcella, and then placed her on the small seat. He also straddled the dragon saddle, held Myrcella in his arms, and ordered the lava dragon to take off.

As the lava dragon spread its wings and jumped off the high platform, its huge body passed through the air, and then soared rapidly.

Myrcella was so stimulated by this thrilling scene that she couldn't help but scream. She shrank into Linde's arms and hugged Linde's arms tightly with both hands. Her body was as tight as a piece. Stone.

Afterwards, the lava dragon made a half circle in the sky of Redemption Town and then flew towards the east.

After Lind left Summer Hall, Summer Hall issued an announcement stating that Princess Myrcella would live in the capital of Lorne, Na Saxon, until Prince Augustus came of age and married her, and the Seven Kingdoms The matter has nothing to do with Princess Myrcella.

Although this announcement was issued on the surface, it was announcing that the Summer Palace recognized the engagement with the Iron Throne, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that the Summer Palace's attitude is to cut off ties with the Iron Throne. Even Princess Myrcella was sent away by him. Arriving at the distant continent of Essos.

So when the announcement reached King's Landing, some people heard Queen Cersei's curses coming from the Red Keep. Sometimes she was cursing Lynd, and sometimes she was cursing Tyrion.

Queen Cersei's anger only lasted for two or three days before it was replaced by fear and worry because of a piece of news from the Riverlands.

The news was that the mercenary legion hired by Duke Tywin from the Essos continent crossed the Blackwater River without permission, attacked Tengshi Town, and tried to plunder Tengshi Town, but were defeated head-on by the Tengshi garrison. More than 10,000 mercenary troops were killed, and only more than 3,000 people fled back to the north of the Blackwater River.

The loss of troops in the West is secondary. What really worries Queen Cersei is that Summer Hall, which has always claimed neutrality, will change its attitude because of this incident and attack King's Landing. If this is true, then King's Landing will not be able to resist it at all.

What's even worse is that this news was not sent by the messenger crow, but came from within the city. This also caused the atmosphere in King's Landing to be replaced by panic. Those who could afford it took their children across the Blackwater River. He entered the territory of Summer Hall to take refuge, but without any conditions he could only curse the audacity of the Western Territory mercenary army, and his dissatisfaction with the Western Territory and the Iron Throne increased again.

Originally, the looting of the Riverlands by the West indirectly caused problems with the food supply in King's Landing. Food prices were increasing day by day, and it was difficult for civilians to afford food. Famine began to appear at the bottom of King's Landing, and the entire King's Landing began to demand the Iron Throne. The West is full of dissatisfaction, and now this dissatisfaction has turned into hatred. Some people have begun to agitate against the Iron Throne in Flea Bottom.

However, before this movement against the Iron Throne took effect, it was extinguished by Tyrion, who came to King's Landing to serve as interim prime minister.

The first thing Tyrion did when he came to King's Landing was to change the commander and commander-in-chief of the garrison. Janos Slynt was arrested on a crime and sent to the Great Wall as a man in black. The position of Commander-in-Chief of the Garrison was replaced by Jacelyn Bywater, the original captain of Mudgate.

At the same time, he separated the Red Keep garrison and the King's Landing garrison, and they no longer had a subordinate relationship with each other. The commander of the Red Keep garrison was handed over to the mercenary Bronn, who was specifically responsible for the security of the Red Keep. Adam Malbrand commanded all the Lannister armies and took over the defense of King's Landing's city walls.

After that, he arrested hundreds of murderers, robbers, thieves and rumor-mongers. Among them, the most heinous murderers were executed directly in the square, and the rest were sent to the Great Wall to serve as night watchmen.

In addition, he also met with large and small grain merchants in the city, suppressed the rising grain prices, and opened the grain reserves in the Red Fort to provide relief to the civilians.

Later, he contacted the Miracle Chamber of Commerce to purchase food from the Summer Hall, which not only replenished the food inventory, but also showed the civilians of King's Landing that the relationship between King's Landing and the Summer Hall had not deteriorated.

A series of measures gradually subsided the dissatisfaction with the Iron Throne in King's Landing, and order in King's Landing began to return to normal.

Under normal circumstances, the people of King's Landing should be in awe of Tyrion, who is trying his best to stabilize food prices, find food sources, and stabilize public security. However, I don't know why the people of King's Landing hate Tyrion inexplicably, and even think that the former The rise in food prices and the deterioration of public security were all Tyrion's fault. Even though Tyrion was not in King's Landing at the time, the nickname "Little Demon Monkey" began to spread in King's Landing, which made Tyrion feel extremely depressed when he learned about this.

On the other side, after Duke Tywin learned about the mercenary army's attack on Tengshi Town, he did not punish the mercenary army. Instead, he asked the Mountain to collect the mercenary army and garrison at Harrenhal, ready to support King's Landing at any time. .

However, another thing quickly attracted his attention. Daisy Mormont, who was confronting Kevan at the Trident River Ferry, disappeared. No one knew her whereabouts. This was not the case for the Westerlands. A good thing, because although Daisy Mormont's army is not large, it is extremely powerful and can influence the outcome of any battlefield.

Lind didn't know what happened after he left. He just wanted to go to Stea as soon as possible and solve this problem before Euron sacrificed himself.

While Lind was concentrating on directing Neltharion's flight, Myrcella, who was held in his arms, had also recovered from the initial shock and fear, but the excitement and excitement in her heart still made her body uncontrollable. trembling.

Although Lind used the Storm Dragon rune to isolate the surrounding cold wind, it could not stop the cold at high altitude. Fortunately, when the lava dragon was flying, its body resumed emitting streams of heat, which was enough to dispel the surrounding chill. The only flaw was that The sulfur smell of the heat was so strong that it smelled like rotten eggs.

However, Myrcella had completely ignored these problems at the moment. Her attention was entirely focused on the scenery of the earth. Even though all she saw was the blue and black ocean, she still felt extremely novel.

The lava dragon flew very fast and crossed the narrow sea in a few hours. In the distance, a huge port city could be seen standing on the coastline.

"Your Majesty, is that the Free Trade City of Pentos on the other side of the Narrow Sea?" Myrcella quickly identified which city it was from some distinctive buildings in the port city.

Lind did not answer Myrcella's question, but ordered the lava dragon to lower its height, and then glide over the city of Pentos.

The lava dragon flew very low, almost flying close to the roof. People in Pentos City could even see clearly the dragon skin scales under the belly of the lava dragon. They were all frightened and panicked. The city guards also sounded the warning siren. The chaos in the city continued for a long time until the trumpets left.

"Sir, it's not good for you to do this. Someone will be injured because of it." When the lava dragon lifted up again and flew under the clouds, Myrcella suddenly accused Lind of his behavior just now.

After hearing Myrcella's words, Lind was not angry, nor did he show much appreciation for Myrcella's kindness. He just smiled and said nothing.

After a long time, Myrcella suddenly said: "I'm sorry, Prince, I shouldn't have accused you just now."

Linde could feel Myrcella's worry at this moment, so he reached out and touched Myrcella's head, and said with a smile: "No, you are right, you should stick to your kindness and don't have any worries. I am not that kind of person." People who cannot listen to accusations, but I don’t necessarily have to listen to other people’s accusations, even if the accusation itself is right.”

Myrcella turned to look at Lind, who was wearing a helmet, in confusion, and asked in confusion: "Since it is right, why don't you obey it?"

"This is the willfulness of the strong." Lind said, then clamped Myrcella's body with both hands, fixed it on the seat, and at the same time gave orders to Neltharion.

Immediately afterwards, Neltharion was seen retracting his wings, and then spinning towards the ground. Myrcella was immediately frightened and screamed loudly. Just when Neltharion was about to land, its wings instantly opened. , and at the same time, a powerful whirlwind was generated underneath him, carrying Neltharion as he flew close to the ground, and then flew into the air again.

Although Myrcella had stopped screaming, she was still immersed in the thrilling scene just now. She sat there in a daze, like a stone sculpture.

"Huh? What's this smell?" Linde suddenly sniffed hard, and then said in a deliberately teasing tone.

When Myrcella heard this, her pale and frightened cheeks instantly turned red and bloody, and her whole body shrank into a ball. She lowered her head and said nothing.

Myrcella lowered her head for the rest of the journey, and said nothing until she flew over the planet Na-Sa.

The appearance of the lava dragon also attracted the attention of the guards of Na Sa Star. They immediately pointed the bed crossbows on the city walls and various guard towers throughout the city at Neltharion, ready to attack at any time until their After the captain identified the lava dragon's identity, he ordered to relax the vigilance.

Linde was very satisfied with the city defense awareness of the Na Sa Star Guards, even if he was the one targeted by the bed crossbow.

The lava dragon flew over the city and landed on an open space specially opened for the dragon in the courtyard of Nymeria Palace. The dragon servants transferred from the Summer Hall were already waiting around, and the metal that melted into liquid was placed on the In each crucible, the lava dragon can be replenished at any time.

Lind stood up from the dragon saddle, while Myrcella was still sitting on the chair with her head lowered. He smiled, stretched out his hand to Myrcella, and said, "I think you need to change your clothes, sit here. , but there is no way to change it.”

Hearing Lind's words, Myrcella blushed and stretched out her hand, letting Lind lead her down the dragon's back.

At this time, Nymeria, who was dealing with matters in the study, also came to the courtyard. She saw Lind leading a little girl off the dragon's back. She couldn't help but be stunned. Then she seemed to realize something, and her face showed smile.

"Didn't you say it would take some time to come here? Why did you come so soon?" Nymeria walked up to Lind and asked.

Linde responded: "In case of emergency, I have to go to Yaxia."

"Asshai?" Nymeria couldn't help but be stunned.

This is not a good place to talk about these things. Linde did not continue to explain, but took Myrcella to his side and said: "This is Princess Myrcella. She will live here in the future. When Augustus comes of age, You can marry her."

"Hello, Princess Myrcella." Nymeria said with a smile, "I hope you can live happily here in the future."

"Greetings to you, Her Majesty the Queen." Myrcella took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, and returned the greeting very appropriately: "I will look forward to my future life on Nasa."

Linde waved to the maid on the side and said, "Take Myrcella down to change some clothes. She felt a little uncomfortable in the air just now and her clothes were stained."

When Nymeria heard this, she looked at Myrcella with a strange look, and sniffed hard as if she was being amused. Myrcella's face turned red from shyness again, she lowered her head, and followed closely. Behind the maid, she went to the guest room of the palace.

"She is your daughter-in-law, it is not good for you to tease her like this." Nymeria pointed at Lind and said.

Linde squinted his eyes, looked at Nymeria, and said, "I don't know who made that move on purpose just now, and was deeply afraid that others wouldn't see you smelling the scent. With a mother-in-law like you, she I can bear with it in the future.”

Nymeria also smiled and hit Lind on the arm.

Lind turned around and looked around, wondering: "Where is Augustus?"

"By the way! I have something for you to see, a surprise for you." Nymeria suddenly smiled and pulled Lind towards the garden behind the palace.
