Chapter 71: All thoughts
The binding force of this ‘covenant’ is actually a waste of paper, just to endorse the future.
But even if something goes wrong, except Viserys, the other two can use other reasons to prevaricate.
As long as they are not captured by the Iron Throne directly, the Marty family can cover Oberon’s ‘willful’,
While Braavos Sea King uses his own seal, Braavos can say that Sea King's seal is lost, which is completely planted.
And only Veserys actually signed his handwriting on it, there can be no changes and sophistry.
But he is the only one who has no retreat. Apart from overthrowing Baratheon’s rule and regaining the Iron Throne in the future, Veselis has no other options.
Even if Robert dies of a wild boar, he needs to temporarily find a place where he can develop, stay away from the opponent's field of vision, and don't always jump around on the opponent's face.
therefore.
His gaze is destined to look beyond Westeros.
He had discussed this with his ‘Prime Minister’ Sir Jeffrey before he left Dragon Rock Island.
Fortunately, King Targaryen still has a fleet that can cross the sea. Veserys decided to abandon Dragonstone Island tactically and find a foothold on the mainland of Essos on the other side of the narrow sea.
But the strategy is still based on Longshi Island as a springboard, and the future will eventually target Westeros. This is his plan for the future.
For the little king, this kind of ‘moving’ decision is not unbelievable. After all, it completely shattered Targaryen’s foundation and led the family to return to the completely unfamiliar ‘homeland’.
Veserys’s mother, Queen Layla, was too late to make such a decision before she was alive. She was unwilling to give up Longshi Island, the "Land of Longxing" which is of great significance to Targaryen.
But Viselis is more calm. He doesn't have the deep-rooted obsession with the family like his mother, and the scenery he sees from different perspectives will be completely different.
So in the end, the little king boldly expressed his attitude in this private conversation, hoping to get the public support of Braavos, even if part of the interest is cut away.
Of course Viselis' request failed unexpectedly.
It is impossible for Braavos to publicly support the restoration of Targaryen, because that means that the large sum of golden dragons they have lent out will become bad debts that cannot be recovered.
However, Veserys was not discouraged after the request was rejected by the Braavos Sea King.
Then he stepped back and made another request.
That is not to seek the public support of Braavos. He only needs Braavos to acquiesce in the return of the Targaryen family to their homeland and will not try to interfere.
This requirement is not excessive, because it does not require Braavos to pay any benefit, just ignore it, and there can also be an explanation for the Iron Throne.
In the end, Sea King of Braavos thought carefully, then nodded and agreed to Veserys' request, and it was written into the clause.
For Braavos, their bottom line is that it is absolutely impossible to publicly support Targaryen, but it is still possible to support Targaryen with low-interest loans and interest-free loans to disrupt the peace of Westeros.
In fact, for Braavos, love for peace and respect for blood is just an excuse for hypocrisy. The Seven Civil Wars are more in line with their maximization of interests, causing Westeros to fall apart and return to the state before Aegon’s conquest.
even imitating their systems and values one after another, becoming a free trade city-state is a better result.
That way, the iron vault can hold a lot of gold coins and squeeze the last copper plate on this continent in the name of help.
Therefore, Ferrego finally agreed to Viselis' request.
Braavos could ‘acquiesce’ the Targaryen family’s return to their homeland, and then ticked a range on the map with a swipe of a pen.
...
At dusk.
Sea King’s family banquet still needs some time to prepare, and Ru today’s color hasn’t darkened yet.
After this close conversation, Viselis and Prince Oberon from Dorn left Sea King’s bedroom and walked side by side in the corridor. The sound of footsteps echoed clearly in the corridor. The servants passing by saw the two of them and stopped to salute. .
And at this moment.
"Your Majesty?"
Oberon walked beside the little king, then turned his head to look at him abruptly.
"Prince, please speak."
Compared to Oberon's frivolousness, Viselis has always been very polite, calling him the prince or by his first name, while Oberen has been calling Viselis the little guy.
This is the first time Oberon calls Viselis "Your Majesty", and it even makes him feel a little strange.
"No, I just said it casually. I think it's good to call you by your first name."
However, Oberon shrugged slightly and said.
"I'm just a little curious about how it feels to be called a "king" at such a young age."
"A king who can't even kill a chicken?"
Oberon touched the beard of his chin slightly.
And Viselis tilted his head when he heard the other party's words~www.NovelMTL.com~ This thin and tall figure was reflected in the lavender eyes, but he was not angry, but just nodded and responded calmly. road.
"I can actually kill a chicken, Prince Oberon."
In fact, Viselis had personally killed four people, including Kaivon Lannister, at the age of eight, and even fought a war in person.
"As for the feeling of being called the'king'..."
Veserys thought slightly.
"I think I’m in a brothel with you, and it’s not much different from the feeling of being called ‘brave’ by women."
Oberon heard Viserys's words and the expression on his face was very clear with a touch of amazement.
"this…"
He didn't expect that the little king, who had always been very good-tempered, would counterattack so sharply.
However, Oberon was choked by Viserys's small response. Instead of being angry, he burst into laughter, and then patted Viserys on the shoulder.
"Funny kid."
...
Veserys and Oberon talked as they walked.
If you look at it from behind, this one is really like a pair of brothers, the older brother takes his younger brother.
It’s just that Oberon is the salt race among the Dorn people. His skin is slightly dark and dark, while Viselis is more white and has dazzling silver and golden hair. The difference in appearance between the two is. It's a bit big.
"Actually, you just did a good job at the negotiating table, Viselis."
"If my daughter is in the right status, I really want her to marry you."
Then Oberon turned his head to look at the little king, and said again without words.
