0016 Crisis
The Iron Throne, the throne of the kings of the Seven Kingdoms, is often used as a metaphor and substitute for the authority of kings.
The king would sit on his throne and listen to the people's opinions. In the king's absence, the regent or the king's hand, who performs his duties in his place, sits on the Iron Throne to listen to the pleas of the people, administer justice and pronounce his judgments for them.
Lorraine and Rhaenia passed through the travellers' corridor of the Red Keep, and were in the throne room, and Jaehaerys had not yet arrived, they were waiting in the hall with the Prime Minister's ministers.
The Iron Throne itself was cold and hard, with many spikes and barbs, deliberately uncomfortable to sit on, and to warn those in power.
The throne room extends to a bronze oak door at the end of the hall. The hall itself is huge, with a capacity of 1,000 people.
Power, right? How many people have given their lives for this Iron Throne.
Luo Lin lowered his head and sighed, touching the scene and feeling melancholy.
For example, Meg, for example, below Rollin, those Meggor courtiers waiting for trial.
There is a poem as proof:
The iron rode out of the West Continent, and the king of King's Landing was gloomy.
The red fort fell to the bottom of the bay, and the ambition was buried at the head of the city.
"Rollin, what are you reading?" Rhaenia asked in a low voice.
Ahem! Awkwardly accepted the limerick.
"It's nothing, hmm...", Luo Lin pointed to the guards standing guard, and diverted the topic, "The throne hall is really lively today, no wonder so many guards have been sent to guard." ”
Rhaenia looked at the guards of the capital city, had some doubts in her heart, and said in a low voice:
"It's strange that there weren't so many guards in the morning."
"Maybe it's a prisoner too..."Rollin replied lightly, and halfway through speaking, he saw the Prime Minister, Duke Roga, staring at him with a cold light.
This gaze... Like a beast staring at its prey, Rollin's throat seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't say the second half of the sentence.
Whew! ~
It's the dragon's roar, and the 'Bronze Fury' is outside the throne room.
Rollin's vest was a little cold, and Jaehaerys judged some of the captives, and put the dragon outside the throne hall was a few meanings.
In the current situation, dragons will only be used against dragons, and 'Bronze Fury' is used against Dream Fire.
Looking sideways at the young dragon on his shoulder, his pupils shrank, Jaehaerys is going to me!!
Luo Lin said in a deep voice:
"Mother, call Menghuo over, let's go!"
"What?" Rhaenia was pulled by Rollin towards the bronze oak gate, a little puzzled, "The trial hasn't started yet..."
Duke Roga stopped in front of the two, smiled, and raised his head and sneered:
"Brother Rollin, where do you want to go in such a hurry?"
Rhaenia looked at the guards gathered around, and instantly understood that the target of these newly arranged soldiers was them, or Rollin.
Menghuo, come over quickly, Rhaenia began to feel anxious in her heart.
Luo Lin's expression tightened, and he swallowed his saliva, desperate! He couldn't find a way to break the game.
The movement of the oak door alarmed the courtiers waiting in the hall.
"What's going on?"
"It seems that the 'Demon Dragon Prince' has a conflict with the Prime Minister."
Seeing the movement, the fat bishop squeezed to Rollin's side, glared at Duke Roga, and said loudly:
"Rollin is not a criminal, what are you doing to embarrass him, Prime Minister?"
Luo Jia patted the non-existent ash on his shoulder, and said nonchalantly:
"Not now, maybe it'll be later?"
"You!" The fat bishop choked and gritted his teeth and pointed at Roga, "You are provoking the church, and the Seven Gods do not allow slander." ”
Pure! ~ The dream fire has arrived.
Roga's face changed, "Princess Rhaenia, please restrain the dragon, otherwise the sword will have no eyes." ”
"The one who threatens the Targaryens has never survived," Rhaenia said coldly, "Roga, you can try." ”
"The king has arrived."
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother."
Everyone turned around and looked, and Jaehaerys and the Empress Dowager came hand in hand.
Jaehaerys sat on the throne, his chin propped in one hand, and looked faintly at the oak door.
His face was as usual, and his eyes flashed with a soft glow, but at such moments, such gentleness gave people a cold chill.
The noisy hall had fallen silent, and the young king had begun to take on his majesty.
"Rollin, your oath," Jaehaerys said quietly, "but remember. ”
Rollin bowed his head and replied:
"I've always been on the lookout, Your Majesty."
"No, I didn't see that," Jaehaerys smirked, his tone hurried, "trying to tame the Black Death, and then rallying the remnants of Meg in King's Landing. ”
"This is not what it looks like to follow an oath, these words and deeds are undoubtedly exposing your ambitions."
Rollin was shocked, it seemed that the time he tamed the Black Death had stimulated Jaehaerys too much. I only thought that if I tamed successfully, all difficulties would be solved, but I didn't think about the impact of failure.
"I'm young, and I'm looking for some soldiers to protect me," Rollin argued, "that's all." ”
The fat bishop gave a list of exhortations:
"Your Majesty, Luo Lin has not broken his oath, you can't make a conclusion because of some doubts, this is not what Mingjun did!"
Jaehaerys rose from his throne and walked slowly towards Rollin.
"Lorraine, you don't need personal arms, the kingdom will protect you," he said unhurriedly, "This is my promise, as long as the Targaryen dynasty exists, your safety will not be threatened." ”
But it was you, the King of Targaryen, who threatened my safety, and if I didn't promise him, I might not be able to leave this hall, so I had to say helplessly:
"I, Luo Lin, swear to the Seven Gods that I will not form a personal arm, and those who violate it will not be killed."
Jaehaerys looked at Rollin quietly and nodded slightly, whether you swear a true oath or a false oath, with me for a day, I will not let you disturb the kingdom.
If Rollin hadn't retreated before he came this time, Rollin would have had only one result, the young dragon was kept in captivity, and Rollin was imprisoned to death.
Luo Lin saluted:
"Your Majesty, I'll retire first."
Jaehaerys waved his hand to Duke Roga and motioned for clearance.
···················
At night, the Sanctuary of the Red Fort.
After the Starry Sanctuary was burned to the ground by Maegor, the church was left without a church in King's Landing, but fortunately, Jaehaerys gave a hall to the church in the Red Keep as a reward for the church's support for him.
"You're doing the right thing, if you don't have the personal armament, you're gone," the fat bishop handed Rollin a cup of seven-star tea, "you still have the church behind you to support you." ”
"Yes, Godfather," Rollin took a sip, "Heavenly Father is with me. ”
"The Queen Mother Regent and I have discussed that, in view of the long-standing conflict between King Maegor and the Church, Jaehaerys must be anointed with holy oil by the Archbishop's own hands."
"So the kings of the kingdom will be heading to Old Town in the near future?" Rollin put down the teacup.
The fat bishop nodded, "We went with the king, around the same time as the wizards of Quells arrived in the Old Town. ”
"There is a labor resister." Luo Lin respectfully helped the fat bishop fill the tea.
"Well, you're my godson," the fat bishop smiled slightly, "not for anyone you help." ”
"I practiced in the 'Temple of Immortals' when I was younger, and I understand the crooked ways of wizards, and this witchcraft ritual is not as safe and reliable as you think."
Rollin was surprised:
"The Godfather is also a wizard?"
The fat bishop nodded mysteriously, he raised his palm, and muttered to an emerald ring on his middle finger:
"Click, Woo Tuo!"
I saw a green light fly out of the emerald ring, shooting directly at a pineapple fruit on the desk, and the green light hit the fruit, turning into a large green and faint insect.
Each insect was the size of a fingernail, but it had a pair of transparent wings and ferocious jaws, and the number of them was about one or two thousand.
As soon as these insects swarmed up, they learned that in the rope, the pineapple fruits were devoured.
Rollin was so surprised that his mouth opened slightly, if this shot in the face, would it be okay? The transcendent world opened up a corner of him here.
After the target devoured it, the green worm turned into a green glow and disappeared, leaving only an empty fruit bowl.
