Game of Thrones: Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Chapter 708: build a shrine

"His Majesty."

"His Majesty."

The routine royal council was over, the ministers stood up and left, and Viserys returned to his bedroom.

Jon Connington died unexpectedly in Dorne. In addition to the change of the position of the former Prime Minister, there is also a vacancy for the Governor of the Stormlands.

The governor's position is not hereditary, but is reserved for those who are capable, and it is not fixed to a certain family either. Viserys can designate a certain person as the governor of the Stormlands, and it can also be elected by the nobles of the Stormlands.

After Jon's death, only one unborn posthumous child was left behind, even boys and girls could not be seen, Viserys had no way to designate the child in Lady Bess' womb as the next Governor of Stormland even if he cared about his feelings.

That was a serious damage to the system he established by himself. Since then, no one has taken the imperial governor's decree seriously.

Therefore, Viserys did not appoint or parachute a governor to the Stormlands, but let the nobles of the Stormlands elect a governor by themselves and approved by the Iron Throne.

Jon Connington's wife, Mrs. Beth Bracken, was pregnant and was about to give birth, so Viserys let her stay in the Red Castle temporarily, freeing up the position of the Prime Minister's Tower and handing it over to the new Prime Minister Meath. Toyne.

Lady Beth Bracken, who was pregnant, was temporarily taken care of by the steward of the palace in the Red Keep, and returned to Storm's End after the child was born. Now Storm's End is managed by the steward of the Clinton family.

At the same time, Viserys also asked Lady Bess to send a letter to the steward of the Connington family, asking him to build a shrine to Jon Connington in Storm's End.

And this order made the headmaster of Storm's End and the bachelor who received the letter look at each other, a little confused.

Because temples are generally built in castles to worship the seven gods, and ancestral halls are also built to worship ancestors, but they are dedicated to a person who has just died.

It's really not very common.

Even the steward and the maester who stayed in Storm's End felt a little panicked for no reason, and the wind was blowing from the back of their necks. They always felt that Lord Jon Connington's soul seemed to be watching them from some corner

Of course, although some panicked and some couldn't understand, they had nothing to do. After all, it was an order from Mrs. Beth, and they could only follow through.

So now in Storm's End Castle is building a shrine dedicated to the statue of Jon Connington.

And there is actually a reason why Viserys did this. He lent Jon Connington a little bit of divine fire to help him grow rapidly, and then he prepared other funeral affairs for Jon.

He planned to place Jon Connington's soul in the Clinton family's ancestral hall in the future, making him the guardian spirit of the Clinton family in Storm's End, surviving with the incense of future generations, and at the same time protecting his descendants.

After the imperial meeting, Viserys returned to rest in his bedroom, and on the other side, the sound of clanging weapons came from the garden of the Red Keep.

In the empty garden at this moment, the sun above the head was shining brightly, and two girls of about the same height were fighting with magic weapons in their hands.

One of them was wearing the white armor of the Kingsguard, while the other girl was wearing silver armor, with a ruby ​​inlaid in the position of the chest necklace, and her long brown hair was scattered on the cold armor.

Neither of them was wearing a helmet, their figures were moving around, and the weapons in their hands were constantly colliding. The weapons held by the two of them were extremely extravagant. If the knights outside saw it, they would probably go crazy with jealousy.

Because one of the two female knights is holding the Dragon Slaying Sword, and the other is holding the famous Dark Sister, and the two magic weapons are Valyrian steel swords.

However, the red-haired female knight in a snow-white cloak finally gained some upper hand. Her swordsmanship was even more weird, and her figure was more erratic, while the girl with long brown hair on the other side was the most orthodox swordsmanship, upright and strict.

After three or four rounds, the female knight in white finally seized the opportunity to knock down the long sword in the opponent's hand, pointing the tip of the sword at the opponent's throat, and then sheathed the sword, and said curiously.

"Your Highness, have you been worried recently?"

"Sorry, Master Mia."

When Renis heard that her swordsmanship teacher saw through her disguise at a glance, she suddenly looked slightly ashamed.

"It's no big deal, I'm here too."

Mia was older than Rhaenice, even older than Viserys.

She used to hang out on the streets of Volantis, and chose to become a mercenary in order to survive. She has experienced many moments of life and death, and her experience is naturally rich.

"Master Namia, what exactly are the ruins of Valyria?"

"I'm a little curious."

Renice and Mia put their swords into their sheaths, and said while walking that they had taken off their armor. Renice was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help asking.

"I asked Viserys, but he said nothing."

When the red-haired female knight heard Renis's question, she immediately turned her head and gave her a strange look. Then she understood, and couldn't help shaking her head and chuckling slightly.

"It's full of scary monsters, Your Highness, you won't be interested."

The two girls talked as they walked, and then her topic changed abruptly.

"I once liked someone too, Your Highness."

"Is it?"

"Who does Master Mia like?"

However, Mia's blunt topic change did not hear the slightest strangeness in Renice's ears. The words of the red-haired female knight seemed to have touched her heart, so Renice couldn't help but open her mouth curiously. asked.

"A kid next door."

The two girls walked into the corridor of the Red Castle Garden. The green vines above their heads climbed up the shelves, and the bright sunlight penetrated the branches and leaves, leaving mottled shadows.

"He also has red hair, his face is very handsome, and the most important thing is that he sings very well."

"He often sang to me at that time~lightnovelpub.net~ Mia couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled when she said this, but she quickly discovered this and quickly restrained the expression on her face.

"Really?"

"Then what happened next?"

And Renis didn't see the flashing smile on Mia's face, and asked expectantly.

"later?"

"And then he died."

The red-haired female knight shrugged slightly and said.

"ah?"

This strong reversal immediately made Renis a little unacceptable.

"So this story tells us that if you like someone, you should fight for it as soon as possible, instead of leaving regrets until the end."
