There was no one in the throne room, and it was eerily quiet.

It was just like what Xu Ying predicted in the Hall of Immortality, but the only difference was that the ceiling of the Throne Hall was not blown out of a big hole by the trebuchet.

The prophesied wheel of fortune had already been broken when Arianne decided to open the gate of the Red Castle, so Xu Ying is indeed the key piece that has a great influence on the future situation.

Although none of the prophecies he saw in the Temple of Immortality have happened so far, of course this may not be part of fate.

However, Heros did not know the content of the prophecy, and had never even heard of it.

Now the brown-haired young man stands quietly by the gate of the Throne Hall. He looks at everything that is familiar and unfamiliar in front of him, every corner, every stone pillar, and every mural. It is as quiet as a needle dropped. can be heard clearly.

Then his gaze finally fell to the end of the steps in the throne room in the distance, the ferocious Iron Throne and the crown quietly placed on it.

This is what he has always dreamed of the most, but now it is so close.

As long as he walks up now, takes off the crown and puts it on his head, and then sits on the iron throne left by his father, he can become the second emperor of the empire, Heros Tange Leon I.

Heros looked at the throne and crown in the distance, and felt so nervous for the first time, even more nervous than when he was treating the plague in the riverland three years ago and burning the corpses of people who died of the plague.

Because he knew that among the mountains of corpses, there were countless people who still had their last breath.

Although they might leave this world tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the flames soaring into the sky lit up his cheeks, and the screams mixed with fragments in the wind still pierced deeply into his heart.

Heros could feel his heart beating faster now, which was a complex mixture of tension, joy and more.

Then the breeze outside the throne room stirred the fallen leaves, and the young man standing by the gate took his own steps for the first time, walking towards the depths of the throne room.

The throne room was quiet, and a needle could be heard falling, only the rustling of Heros' footsteps echoed.

He climbed up the steps step by step and finally came to the Iron Throne, and then stretched out his hand, wanting to pick up the Valyrian steel crown that was quietly placed on the Iron Throne.

And the ruby ​​in the crown is emitting a halo.

Then, just when Heros's finger was about to touch the crown, it stopped slightly in mid-air, and paused for a while, just like Xu Ying's movements when he was in the Immortal Palace back then.

But the difference is that Xu Ying felt the great danger, and then stopped in time, while Heros only hesitated for a moment, and then directly picked up the crown.

"This is the crown that my father left behind."

Heros picked up the crown, which was made entirely of Valyrian steel, and then stood in front of the Iron Throne, looking at it carefully in the sunlight from the windows above the palace wall.

It is said that this is a crown forged by his father by melting a Valyrian steel dagger, which is also mixed with some other precious metals, and the ruby ​​​​inlaid in it is also an extremely precious material.

He heard his mother mention this crown. Wearing it on top of his head would make him feel warm all over his body. It may have the effect of warding off disease and cold. At least his mother has worn this crown for so many years, and it seems that she has never been sick.

Do you want to wear it?

There seemed to be a voice in Heros's heart, perhaps it was his own desire.

And this voice is constantly urging Heros... Put on the crown that should belong to you, sit in the seat left for you by your father, and then let the ministers of the imperial council and nobles from all over the world come to see and worship.

However, Heros stood in front of the Iron Throne, looked carefully at the crown he had dreamed of for a while, and then put the crown back on the Iron Throne again.

Because Heros knew exactly what he really wanted.

There is no doubt that the eldest prince of the Targaryen family is a smart man, and he also knew that it was not the best time to wear the crown, so he restrained his inner desire just like Xu Ying in the prophecy, defeated them.

"One day I will wear it dignifiedly and sit in this position."

Heros put the crown back on the Iron Throne, and said silently in his heart.

Then he turned around and left here without looking back, only the Valyrian steel crown was still quietly placed on the Iron Throne, and the ruby ​​in the center was slightly shining.

However, after Heros left the throne room, he did not leave the Red Keep in a hurry, but went straight to the inner palace of the Red Keep, the place where he grew up, and Maegor House, the bedroom of the Targaryen royal family.

Because he knew that Queen Arianne, who hadn't appeared in the throne room, must be in Maegor's Tower right now.

Then Heros crossed the bridge over the dry moat of the Maegor Tower fortress with ease, and came directly to Maegor Tower. In the Red Castle, Heros would not get lost with his eyes closed, because he was so familiar with this place.

In front of Maegor's Tower, most of the Red Castle's soldiers, maids, and gardeners had left, but there were still people staying here.

The one who stopped Heros was a tall female knight. She was wearing a white cloak, white armor without any family crest, and a long sword hanging from her waist. Her face was ugly, and her light yellow hair was casual The wind fluttered, and it was Brienne Tars, one of the members of the Kingsguard.

She seemed to have known that Heros would come to Maegor's Mansion, and she had already been waiting here quietly.

"Your Highness stop."

Brienne Tass held the hilt of her sword with one hand, blocked in front of Heros Targaryen, and said in a calm voice.

"Ser Brienne."

"I want to see the queen."

However, Heros frowned slightly when he saw Brienne blocking his way~lightnovelpub.net~.

But he still patiently opened his mouth to express his intention.

"But the Queen does not want to see you, Your Highness."

And Brienne stood in front of Heros, looked at the brown-haired young man in front of her, shook her head slightly and said.

Brienne knew that His Highness the First Prince's swordsmanship was outstanding, and she might not be able to stop him, but she still wanted to explain this, and then Brienne paused, and then continued.

"The queen has known that you are coming here, but even though she doesn't want to see you now."

"But she has something to pass on to you."

"What?"

When Heros saw what his mother had given him, the expression on his face froze slightly.
