Chapter 1047: generous dowry

The Avenue of Roses is an avenue that starts from King's Landing and runs southwest through the Reach to the Old Town. It crosses the River Mander at Bitter Bridge and meets the Corniche at High Court.

And now the remnants of the defeated soldiers led by the old Prince of Dorne are fleeing towards King's Landing along the Avenue of Roses.

The Avenue of Roses passed through the vast royal forest, then headed north, crossing a bridge across the Blackwater River, to reach King's Landing, the capital of the empire.

Therefore, when Oberyn led the remnants of the defeated army, they walked out of the endless royal dragon-feeding land along the Rose Avenue.

He sniffed the salty sea breeze in the air, and heard the sound of the waves crashing against the beach in Heishuiwan, and his highly tense nerves finally relaxed for the most part.

This time 17BX*WX* Zhang Si. "finally…"

"It's almost King's Landing."

Sitting on his horse, Oberyn forcibly straightened his back so that the soldiers would not notice his weakness, and let out a sigh of relief.

Now, the old prince of Dorne has long been overwhelmed by his body after such a long and hasty march and long journey.

At this moment, his face was as pale as paper, and his gray hair was as fluffy and messy as straw. He just tied it with a cloth strip, his eyes were full of fatigue and bloodshot, and he was holding the reins tightly in his hands.

Oberyn was an old man in his sixties.

But since the battle of High Court was broken, I don't know how many days I haven't slept well.

Every day is overdrafting his body, and even a little mentally exhausted.

During this time, he sent letters to King's Landing several times for help, and sent the only remaining ravens and messengers, hoping that His Royal Highness Helos could send King's Landing's capital guards to come to them to evacuate.

However, both the raven and the messenger were sent to nothing after they were sent out, and no response was received.

However, although he did not wait for reinforcements to come to him, Oberon could understand the difficulty of Heros at the moment.

No one knows the city better than Oberyn, as he has served in King's Landing for decades as a high-ranking minister of the Royal Council.

King's Landing has seen every bit of changes that have taken place since the establishment of the empire.

From the construction of underground water facilities, to the establishment of the four major colleges of the empire, the imperial bank, the competition field, and the subsequent expansion of the outer city of the capital, etc.

King's Landing's population did not decrease even when the long night fell on the country's population, but instead ushered in a population explosion.

Today, the population of King's Landing has doubled in the past ten years, from more than 500,000 people during the Seven Kingdoms period, to over one million people later, and now approaching two million people.

These populations were not just newborn babies, but also the labor force pouring in from all over the empire and across the Narrow Sea.

After all, King's Landing is now the largest, most densely populated and most civilized city in the world.

This is a direct effect of the great power of the Empire.

Even the Imperial Council of the Empire predicts that the population of King's Landing will exceed 3 million in the next ten years, while the territory of the Empire can be maintained for a hundred years, and it is only a matter of time before the population of the capital exceeds 10 million.

Now Helos controls the capital of the empire, King's Landing. Although such a super city in this era has brought powerful assistance, a city can top the total population of the previous region, but the pressure and responsibility it bears are also great.

What's more, Helos' mastery of King's Landing is not complete, and only exists on the surface.

It looks like he has taken over the capital of the Empire, and he sits in the Red Keep as a high Prince Regent.

But there are all kinds of "flea nest princes" in the gray areas beneath the surface of the actual King's Landing.

These people are not worth mentioning in front of Prince Helos, who is a prince and nobleman, like rats in the sewer.

However, although the mouse is weak, the destructive power generated in the back is not small.

Strong sacrifice read sacrifice. The "old-fashioned nobles" who have been operating in King's Landing for many years, and who were suppressed after Helos took control of King's Landing, including those so-called big figures who were high above the Imperial Council, all had more or less connections with the gray forces beneath the surface of King's Landing.

And these people were the ones who later helped Tyrion Lannister's wife and children escape and paid a heavy price.

Under the murky waters of King's Landing, they fought against the spies and agents of the Ministry of the Interior.

In fact, the real struggle above the court is not limited to the things that can be seen, but the open and secret struggle in all aspects.

After Helos Targaryen usurped power, Queen Arianne was placed under house arrest in the Red Keep, and the Imperial Council, including the former Prime Minister, also became puppets.

But although they were controlled by Helos, they had lost their resistance on the bright side, but the struggle between the two sides was far from over.

And it is against this background that, if all goes well in the war, Oberyn successfully breaches the High Court and captures the second prince, Aemon Targaryen, and returns to King's Landing.

Then all problems will no longer be problems in the end, and Helos will be the ultimate winner, taking all, and these sewers can't turn over~www.NovelMTL.com~ However, the war encountered a reversal fiasco at the last moment, Then all the contradictions accumulated before will be concentrated in a counter-attack style.

Therefore, in the face of several requests from the old Prince of Dorne for help, Helos did not move.

In fact, it's not that Helos doesn't want to save Oberyn, but that King's Landing is in the current situation. If the capital garrison is dispatched, it is very likely that the capital of the empire will lose his control.

…

In the Red Fort, a woman with long black hair as pure as a girl stood quietly in front of Helos.

At this moment, the throne room was empty, and the prince regent of the empire sat on a seat beside the Iron Throne.

Even when it was empty, Helos didn't try to feel this feeling while sitting on the Iron Throne.

He was just sitting in his seat, there was an undisguised tiredness on his face, a pair of sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, but his eyes were still bright.

Although the Waterloo fiasco was suddenly encountered and the current situation is somewhat unfavorable, Helos does not seem to have lost his confidence.

He still occupies King's Landing and is the Regent Prince of the Empire.

Compared to his older sister and younger brother, he is still the one who is closest to the Iron Throne.

Make a big tyrant. Not to mention that he had already entered into a marriage contract with his sister Diana Targaryen.

He promised Diana that he would give her the title of Queen of Winter, making the North a kingdom attached to the Empire.

Just like the Principality of Midsummer Islands, the first subject country given by my father.

After the North is upgraded to a kingdom, Diana will surpass the status of Asha Greyjoy, the Grand Duchess, to become a queen and the only queen of the empire.
