Chapter 66: Black and White House

Petyr looked embarrassed when he heard this, and said, "Gavin is not on the Stepstone Islands at the moment. If we only discuss it with his officials, it may be difficult to achieve this."

After hearing this, Jon Arryn said: "Just read them the order of the Royal Council directly. Arrange our personnel first. Most of Gavin's troops are purchased Unsullied. According to the law, they are prohibited first. Purchase an army of slaves."

Petyr said helplessly: "I will do my best, Prime Minister."

Wallis on the side also expressed his compliance.

After Jon Arryn arranged the task, he looked at Robert and said: "Your Majesty, please sit on the Iron Throne in the near future. I need to go to Dragonstone to discuss with Stannis."

Robert said: "What is there to talk about with Stannis? My brother rarely comes to King's Landing now."

Jon Arryn said: "No, no, no matter what, your brother is the Sea Lord and controls the royal fleet. If you really need to suppress the rebellion, you must rely on your brother. After I return, we will Let’s discuss giving Gavin an official position. It would be best if he comes to King’s Landing. We need to meet this young man.”

Robert said helplessly: "Okay, okay, it's up to you. You are the Prime Minister, and I will do whatever you want."

After the imperial meeting, the Eight-clawed Spider Varys quickly returned to his residence, immediately took out a pen and paper, and started writing.

"My old friend Illyrio, there is an unexpected factor in our plan. You must have heard about it at this time. Gavin Belerys, the current Lord of the Stepstone Islands, owns a golden dragon. This undoubtedly proves that he is a dragonrider, and he's sailing toward Braavos.

Meanwhile, Robert the Usurper has given explicit orders to assassinate Viserys and Daenerys, and our plans must be advanced. I hope you will go to Braavos immediately, bring the brother and sister back to Pentos, and also contact Gavin Belerys to see if you can be of use to us.

Your friend Varys the Octopus Spider. "

Then, Wallis called his little bird, a little boy about seven or eight years old. After giving the other party a piece of candy, Wallis handed the letter to the little boy and told him: "Go to the port and give it to Captain Yom." The little boy nodded vigorously, held the letter tightly in his little hands, turned around and ran towards the door. .

The Reach—Highgarden

In a beautiful garden, flowers bloom and a gentle breeze blows.

Margery received a summons from her grandmother Olenna and hurried here full of curiosity.

As soon as they arrived here, they saw their grandmother Olenna sitting solemnly, while her father, the Duke of Metz, looked a little downcast.

Margery hurried forward and saluted: "Father, grandmother, what happened?"

The Duke of Metz immediately said angrily: "The envoy sent to the Iron Throne has returned. Robert Baratheon rejected my marriage proposal with our Tyrell family. He plans to let his heir Joffrey marry the North in the future." Sansa Stark, the daughter of Duke Ned Stark, also said that she had an agreement with Ned Stark before. "

After hearing this, Margaery instantly understood that the family's plan had failed. At this time, Olenna handed a piece of paper to Margaery and said solemnly: "The exact news is that Gavin Bellerys has a dragon, but he can't Determine whether he is related to Targaryen." Margaery quickly took the paper and read it carefully.

After reading the news, Margaery's eyes were filled with shock. She recalled Gavin's silver hair and purple eyes when she first met him, and was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment.

The Duke of Mace said from the side: "Since Robert Baratheon looks down on us Tyrell, why don't we consider Gavin Belerys? He has dragons and an army, so he may not be able to become the second Aegon. ”

Olenna glanced at her stupid son with disdain and said sarcastically: "Oh! My Lord, the Seven Gods, my inflatable fish, how can the Iron Throne tolerate the rise of a new dragon master? Don't be so naive! This matter It’s not that easy.”

When the Duke of Metz heard the name "inflatable fish", he knew that it offended his mother and had to shut up for a while.

Olenna looked at Margaery and said slowly: "I have always wanted you to become the queen. The best choice is undoubtedly Robert's heir Joffrey, but Robert refused to marry the Tyrell family. I used to Renly Baratheon was considered, but now we have another option."

After hearing this, Margaery felt excited and shy at first, but she quickly suppressed these emotions and analyzed calmly: "Gavin, who owns the dragon and the stone step islands, may become king, but this will undoubtedly trigger a conflict with the Iron Throne. War. This is all just speculation right now, and I think we should wait and see how the Iron Throne reacts before reacting."

Olenna nodded slightly: "Yes, child, it's good that you can think so calmly, but we can't do nothing. I heard you say before that Gavin will come to attend your sixteenth-year-old name day. If he When he comes, I will find an opportunity to chat with him. If he does not arrive, I need you to go to the Stone Steps Islands. I believe you can control him. "

The Duke of Metz hurriedly interjected: "What are you afraid of? Call Gavin back to High Court and ask. Why worry about the Iron Throne when there are dragons!"

Olenna rolled her eyes at him: "Shut up, you idiot! There are many dragons that have been killed. The Tyrell family must not intervene prematurely!"

Margaery thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, I understand. I will write a letter to Gavin later to remind him to come to Highgarden for my name day."

After leaving the garden, Margaery returned to her room with a heavy heart. After writing the letter, she handed it to the maid beside her. She recalled the encounter between the two and looked forward to meeting again in the future.

Braavos - House of Black and White

Under the dock by the river, a group of people unloaded several heavy boxes and walked along the rock steps towards the entrance of the temple. The leader was wearing a dark black robe. The robe was made of high-quality material and inlaid with silver threads, which faintly shimmered. Soon, he came to the entrance of the temple and witnessed the legendary House of Black and White.

The exterior of the temple is made of dark gray stone and built on a small rocky hill. The pointed roof is covered with black tiles. There are no windows, only a pair of twelve-foot-high carved wooden doors. The left one is made of fish beam wood, as white as a skeleton, and the right one is slightly luminous ebony. A moon is carved in the middle of the two doors, but the fish beam wood is inlaid with ebony, and the ebony is inlaid with fish beam wood.

The wooden door opened a crack, and a monk in black and white robes came out. He looked at the black-robed man in the lead, bowed and said, "All mortals must die." The black-robed man immediately bowed and responded, "All mortals must serve."
