A few days later.

The palace hall of the Magic Mountain.

The little squire, Marquis Pearc Cregan, ran in in small steps and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, King Horn has arrived later, and is waiting at the gate for His Majesty's order." ”

"Ask her to come in. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

After a while, the squire Pearct led King Horn to the rear, and the Magic Mountain sat on a rough wooden bench and did not move.

Queen Horn was somewhat surprised to find that the bustling tapestries and fine carpets in the palace hall were gone, revealing the white marble floor, and the tables and chairs inlaid with many beautiful jade were also gone, and replaced with ordinary tables and chairs.

It made her feel strange in her heart, and she was puzzled.

"Meet His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen. Queen Horn knelt down on one knee and pressed her right palm to her heart.

Queen Jane Westerling sat with His Majesty the King, her chair covered with a night lion's fur. Queen Horn noticed that it was probably the most valuable and eye-catching thing in the hall.

"Mrs. Horn, please. Magic Mountain said lightly.

Even if he spoke softly, the ears of Queen Horn were still full of might.

Queen Horn stood up, graceful and elegant, her skin as white as milk, and radiating a luster like jade.

"Pilt, move a soft chair for Mrs. Horn. Magic Mountain said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Soon, a soft chair inlaid with beautiful jade and brocade silk was carried out by two attendants and placed beside Queen Horn.

"Madam, please be seated. Magic Mountain said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Queen Horn bowed her head slightly, and then sat down sideways, she did not dare to sit down, only half of her body was on the chair.

Queen Horn noticed that His Majesty King Gregor Clegan did not address her as Queen Horn, but Lady Horn.

It was a small detail, but it made waves in Queen Horn's heart.

"Madame, you are so beautiful. Jenny Westerling smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment. "Queen Horn's heart is turbulent, and she is intellectual and elegant on the surface, without losing the temperament and dignity of a noblewoman.

"Madame, I invited you here today because I want to ask Madame for some help. Moshan said politely.

*

The king's excessive politeness made Queen Horn's heart even more uneasy—

On the night of seven days ago, King Gregor Clegane suddenly attacked and burned down the Scorpion Tail Fort and the Temple of Immortality, completely shattering the two inviolable sacredness in the hearts of Quells. The wealthy merchants defected en masse, and without exception, even the most determined local hardliners in the original tourmaline brotherhood came to the palace the next day, presented the new king with precious gifts of great value, and swore allegiance to the new king.

Today, Queen Horn received a letter from the herald asking her to come to King Gregor Cregan's palace hall, and she came, and the King no longer addressed her as Queen, making the King's apparent politeness hypocritical and dangerous—and deepening Queen Horn's unease.

*

"Your Majesty, if you have any matter, please command, and the minister will do his best to complete it. Queen Horn's earnest tone, expectant eyes, and graceful demeanor were also appropriate.

"Madame, I would like to invite you and your three children to King's Landing, the capital of Westeros, as a guest, I wonder if Madame would like to?"

Queen Horn's heart suddenly sounded the sound of glass falling to the ground.

Her back was cold, and very fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, and her hands and feet became cold, but her body felt hot, as if she was sick and feverish.

"Your Majesty, I have never been far away......" Queen Horn struggled to keep her voice from trembling, and she subconsciously grabbed the armrests of her chair with bruises on the backs of her hands, and her strangers knew nothing. In Queen Horn's ears, the words of the Demon Mountain just now roared, like a huge thunder rolling through her mind, "My three children have never been out of this realm, and we have not been far away since we were children. Whatever is done, it is the courtiers and servants who do it. ”

"Mrs. Horn, you're scared. Jenny Westerling smiled.

“...... Fear...... No, no, no...... "......Queen Horn felt her heart pounding and was about to pop out of her chest, her breathing was short, her chest was heaving, her body was hot, and her hands and feet were even colder.

Jenny smiled lightly, stood up, and walked up to Queen Horn, Queen Horn quickly stood up, and Jane held her cold white jade hand: "Madam, I swear in the honor of the Clegon royal family and in the name of the gods, you and the three children are guests in Westeros, it is our sincere invitation, we will not hurt you and the children, please go to Westeros King's Landing to have a look and have fun, it is just a real trip, and it is by no means a pretext to take you out and kill you." ”

Take it out and kill it—this sentence made Queen Horn's body tremble, an instinctive tremble, not controlled by her will. The tremor was transmitted to Jenny through the shaking of hands, which made Queen Horn, who realized this, even more ashamed, her calm and grace were gone, her face turned pale, and shame and fear, fear and worry grasped her heart.

The King and Queen were to take her and her three children out of Quells to King's Landing, and no matter how charming Queen Jane's smile, her gracious attitude, and her vows were assuring, Queen Horn felt that she and her children were standing on the edge of a cliff, and below, there was a black abyss with no end in sight.

She felt her calves go limp, her lips bitter, and her cheeks burned.

"Your Majesty, please advise me on what I am going to do. ”

Queen Horn wanted Jane to tell her how she could cooperate with His Majesty's decrees so that His Majesty could spare her and her children's lives. In Quells, the new king announced that Quells' native royal family would still be in charge, but in fact, after slaughtering the Scorpion Tail Citadel and the Temple of Immortality, the king naturally took control of Quells. From top to bottom, no one finds it obtrusive. The local aristocrats and wealthy merchants, who had petitioned, came directly to line up in the corridor in front of the new king's government hall, rather than to the west of Horn's palace to meet the heirs and queens of the royal family.

No one felt that this was wrong, except Queen Horn and the king's heir crown prince.

After King Horn was confirmed to have been killed by Master Boli, His Majesty King Gregor Clegane did not announce that he would let the crown prince succeed King Horn to the throne.

"Mrs. Horn. Jenny took her cold hands, "Just a guest in Westeros, I think the two princes and princesses will enjoy it." ”

Queen Horn was about to kneel down when her legs went limp, but Jenny held her body with both hands, and she found that her body was too weak, it was the fear of death.

"Queen Horn, there are still some of your courtiers in the Western Palace, please disband them after you go back today, for the time being, the Western Palace doesn't want them to deal with government affairs, you and your children go to Westeros, if you can get used to it, maybe the children don't want to come back, Westeros Continent, Seven Kingdoms, beautiful scenery, knights and bravery, there are many wonders of the world, the Great Wall of Desperation, Harrenhal, Towering Tower, Old Town School, Iron Islands, Rushing City surrounded by water on three sides, every place will make you forget to return. ”

The Magic Mountain asked Queen Horn to dismiss the courtiers, and this sentence named what the Magic Mountain wanted. There will only be one king in Quells, and that is His Majesty Gregor Clegane.

The history of the Horn royal family in Quells has come to an end.

"Your Majesty, I went to Westeros with my children to ask Your Majesty to save my lives and those of my children. Queen Horn fell to her knees.

Jenny reached out to help Queen Horn get up, and the Magic Mountain said, "Your Majesty, please take a seat." Janine stopped, she understood that the Magic Mountain wanted Queen Horn to kneel, and he would not allow her to help her up.

The Magic Mountain wants Queen Horn to fully understand her position, as well as the location of her three children.

The royal family of Horn no longer exists.

Jenny turned back and sat in the Night Lion's fur chair.

"Lady Horn, Queen Jane Westerling has an uncle named Rover Spaser, a fierce axe-wielding knight, Sir. Sir Rover is the commander-in-chief of the royal garrison in King's Landing, responsible for the safety of King's Landing and the royal family, Sir Rover is not very old, in his thirties, unmarried, if Mrs. Horn does not dislike him, I am willing to match this family business for Mrs. Horn. ”

Mrs. Horn's mouth was open and she couldn't close.

She didn't expect the king to say such a thing suddenly.

It looks like the king has thought about how to keep her and the children in Westeros. Queen Horn is the daughter of a great nobleman and has been pampered since childhood, and the skin of the Quells is notoriously white, and Queen Horn is not very acceptable to people with other skin colors.

However, the king himself is the matchmaker, or the queen's own uncle, if he can agree to this family business, then his three children will also become Sir Rover's children, in this sense, the safety of the three children seems to have a relatively safe layer.

"Your Majesty, I trust in your vision and arrangement, and if Sir Rover Spicer does not dislike me as a widow, I am willing to be a family with him. ”

Jane smiled, "Mrs. Horn, you and my own uncle, Sir Rover, have become a family, and that is my family. ”

"It's also my family, it's still my elders. Magic Mountain laughed.

This sentence was like a spell, and most of the disgust, discomfort, and fear in Queen Horn's heart magically disappeared.

She is a family with His Majesty the King in the blink of an eye?!

Yes, marriage has such a magical effect!

As long as she marries Commander-in-Chief Rover Spicer, she will be one family with His Majesty the King, and the child and her life really don't seem to have to worry about it anymore.

The eldest prince went to Westeros, and was of marriageable age, and so was the princess. As long as they marry with the local nobles, the Horn family's lineage, even if it is saved, will not be wiped out.

Even the lair and immortal temple of the regretful guest dared to burn down into a pile of black liquid kings, who else did he dare not kill!

Don't think about Quells's throne, being able to keep the Horn family's bloodline is already a precious glimmer of life under the edge of the blade.

"Madam, after you go back, you want to dismiss the courtiers in your palace for a very reasonable reason, and if there are courtiers who are of good ability, you are welcome to recommend them to us in the form of letters. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Madam, your three children, I hope that before the big ship left the port of Quells, they didn't know that it was Westeros who went to sea this time. Before you get on board, don't take any of your soldiers, servants, courtiers, priests, and nuns with you, and I will give you a group of well-behaved and professionally trained maids to serve you, and they will take care of you and the children, from the time you sail to the port of Blackwater in Westeros, until you settle down in Westeros, I hope they will be your best empathetic servants. ”

Queen Horn had her favorite maids, and the most loyal soldiers and courtiers in her family, and she couldn't give up on them, but His Majesty the King wanted her and the children to be of their own.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will only take the children on board. Queen Horn said.

"Madame, how much time do you need to deal with these things?"

"A month, Your Majesty. ”

"Oh, why so long?"

"Your Majesty, it's easy to get the courtiers to leave, but it will take time to pack up some of the clothes and furniture in the house. Probably we'll need ten big ships to fit our stuff. ”

Ten big ships?

It should be said that ten ships could not hold the wealth of the royal family of Horn.

"Madame, I will give you only four days, and on the morning of the fifth day, I would like you to take the child aboard one of the largest trading ships and set sail. ”

"Four days?" said Queen Horn in disbelief.

"Yes, ma'am, four days. "I know that Madame can't give up the vast amount of money and goods in the palace, but in King's Landing, Westeros, Madame and her children have everything they need. Madam, look at my hall, the expensive tapestries and carpets have been taken away, the chairs and tables inlaid with beautiful jade have been exchanged for gold coins as the salary of the troops, once the prosperous and luxurious life is too long, the courtiers will become lazy, and the generals will grow fat on their bodies, and in the palace in the east, many rich and glorious things have been replaced by me, and I don't want my courtiers and generals to fall in wine and wealth, so that the country will be in danger. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Queen Horn's heart tingled so hard that she couldn't breathe.

In the palace in the west, there are too many things she loves too much, and many treasures are worth a lot of money, enough for more than ten generations of them to spend.

From the expression on Mrs. Horn's face, the magic mountain saw the pain in Mrs. Horn's heart, and he said, "Mrs. Horn, you and the children can only bring ten carriages of things on board, and there really can't be more. ”

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty. ”

'Lost and regained' filled her heart with surprise, and her gratitude to the Magic Mountain gushed out like a spring.

Of course, ten carriages can hold no more than the capacity of ten large ships, which is equivalent to half a dime, but it is this hair that gives Mrs. Horn a greater sense of security to live in a strange country, and makes her full of gratitude to the Magic Mountain.
