Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 798 James' Choice

"Tell me, what makes you so confident?" Dani said lightly.

James looked around and saw that there were two maids beside the queen, and several white knights including Mormont, Garth, and Old Bar. Even at the door, there were four guards, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Your Majesty, could you let the others go?" he suggested.

The faces of the bears were ugly, and the eyes they looked at James became even more unfriendly.

"Are you a white knight yourself? How can you say such a foolish thing?" Dany said with a smile.

James was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Since you trust them, I'll just say it straight.

After the Battle of the Bells, His Majesty Aerys began to fear that Robert would win in the end.

So, when Prince Rhaegar was busy reorganizing his armaments, he summoned the pyromancers of the Alchemist Guild to create thousands of wildfires.

From the bottom of the Great Sept of Baelor, to the shabby huts of Flea Nest, to the stables and warehouses in King's Landing, to the seven gates, to the Dragon's Lair, and even to the cellars of the Red Keep, there are a large number of wildfire jars buried. "

"He will die together with the hundreds of thousands of people in King's Landing, and any rebels who invade King's Landing."

As he spoke, Jaime kept carefully watching the Dragon Queen's face, not missing a single trace of her expression.

He wouldn't be surprised if the Dragon Queen yelled angrily, or directly caused the dragon to eat her, but her reaction seemed too flat.

On the contrary, several of her white knights changed their complexions drastically, and looked at him with angry and murderous eyes - as if what he "slandered" was not the mad king, but their queen.

Just as he was wondering, James heard the Dragon Queen ask in confusion: "Why haven't I heard about such a big thing? Even Sir Barristan doesn't know about it."

"Your Majesty, you should be clear about the relationship between my father and King Aerys. At first, they were good friends, but later, your father was dissatisfied with the prestige and power of the Hand of the King, and my father was not easy to get along with.

The former friends turned into bitter enemies, so His Majesty Aerys has always kept me around him as a hostage to my father.

The rest of the Kingsguard followed Prince Rhaegar to leave King's Landing, either to participate in the Battle of Ruby Beach, or to guard his lover, that is, Lyanna Stark, at the Tower of Bliss in Dorne. "

"The burning of King's Landing is too crazy, His Majesty Aerys is not stupid, except the three alchemists Rosat, Gorgoth, Belis and me, no one knows his whole plan.

Not even the Alchemist Guild knew where the wildfire was buried.

After the regicide, I killed everyone involved in the 'Wildfire Burning City' project, so no one knew about it. "

"If you didn't lie, why didn't you tell me and explain to others?" Old Ba doubted.

The white knight's words also asked Dany's question.

She knew that James was not lying, but the reality was that such a big event as the burning of King's Landing had never been known to outsiders.

If James had explained it to people, even if everyone didn't believe it, at least there would be rumors of "the mad king burning King's Landing".

James took a deep look at the old man, and with complicated eyes, he glanced at the doubtful or contemptuous faces of the white knights such as Big Bear and Garth, and said softly: "I thought you all understand."

"Understand what? You speak clearly." Big Bear frowned.

"What are the third and fifth rules of the White Knight? Has Sir Barristan taught you this?" James said indifferently.

"Ah!" As soon as this remark came out, the old man first changed his face and exclaimed, and then the rest of the white knights also widened their eyes, looking at the crippled King Slayer like a monster.

The third rule of the White Knight: Strictly keep the king's secret.

Article [-] of the White Knight Code: Swear to the death to defend the honor of the king.

——His Majesty Aerys is the "mad king" in the mouth of the nobles, but among the common people, he has a bad reputation and his reputation is not yet rotten.

In recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, and many elderly people over the age of 40 are still talking about the "Mad King's Prosperity" (in fact, it is the peaceful and prosperous world created by Tywin)!

Even among the nobles, some people have always expressed sympathy for what happened to the Mad King.

This can be seen from Robert's nickname.

Well, similar to James being called "Kingslayer", Robert also has the titles of "Usurper" and "King of Whores".

The title "Usurper" is enough to explain the general public's basic understanding of the "Baratheon Dynasty".

But once the news of the mad king burning 50 people in King's Landing got out and was confirmed, the mad king would become the most stupid king in history surpassing the "cruel" Maegor.

In general, James concealed the crime of burning King's Landing for the Mad King, and bore his infamy all his life alone, which is really shocking.

The truth is so shocking that many people cannot accept it for a while.

"You are a kingslayer! The first rule of the white knight is to use your own life to protect the king, but you want the king's life." Jero Dayne growled.

"You're just afraid of death and that Her Majesty the Queen will punish you, so you made up such a big lie!" Big Bear blushed and said angrily.

James did not retort angrily, but only showed a bitter smile of reminiscence, and said softly: "When I was young, I always thought that legendary knights lived among flowers and under the sun just like in the stories.

But when I became the sworn brother of the legendary knight, I was taught by them to turn a blind eye to and deaf to the harsh reality. "

"When King Aerys bullied his queen (ps), I think, not to mention the Kingsguard represented by the Knights of the Seven Kingdoms, even ordinary knights should stand up and stop this kind of bullying of women and children.

But Jon Darry stopped me and warned me—we swear to protect the weak from harm, but save the king.

When Rickard and his son were sentenced to death, I was scared and disgusted, so I wanted to persuade the king a few words, and then Gerald Hightower reminded me quietly - we swore to defend the king, but not to judge the king. "

Glancing at the old man with an unnatural expression, James smiled and said, "Sir Barristan also taught me.

You have told me several times, when King Aerys has gone mad—that we swear allegiance to the king, and be swords in his hand, not shields against the sword he strikes. "

Barristan's blue eyes were sharp and shining, and he stared at the Kingslayer without avoiding it, and said in a loud voice: "If you don't keep your oath, the knight will not only lose his honor, but also lose the meaning of his own existence.

From the day you put on your white robe, you should understand that as long as our will exists, our life and soul belong to the king we serve! "

This can be regarded as the words from the heart of the old man.

He is also a unity of knowledge and action.

All the people of the Seven Kingdoms know—Barristan the Fearless cannot live without a king.

"Hey, you are all legendary knights I have admired since childhood, of course I listen to your lessons.

But that day His Majesty Aerys asked me to kill my father and planned to set King's Landing on fire. I couldn't help it anymore, so I wanted to do it in my own way, and I would bear all the consequences.

I did it, and I have been a regicide for almost 20 years, and I can tell you responsibly, I have no regrets. "

James turned his gaze from the old bus to the Dragon Queen, "No matter what the final consequence is, I can accept it."

Dany didn't give him the "final consequence". She only asked with a curious expression of listening to the story, "Why didn't you let other people kill him? Why did you do it yourself? Then you sat on the Iron Throne afterwards?"

"You're not angry?" James was taken aback by her blandness.

"I'll get angry again when you finish talking." Dani raised her eyebrows.

James was dumbfounded. Just because you are the daughter of the Mad King and you control my daughter's life, I am so sincere and heart-wrenching. Can't you give me back a little excitement?

If your thoughts are deep, that's fine, but you can't act like you're listening to gossip stories!

However, people are under the roof

The corners of James' mouth twitched a few times, and he said sullenly: "I am the white knight who protects the king, if His Majesty Aerys is really going to die, I must do it.

I don't care what other people think, when I decide who to kill, I do it myself.

as for the iron throne

The War of the Usurper is in full swing, with everyone vying for the Iron Throne.

In order to protect his throne, His Majesty Aerys would rather take that iron chair to hell than let others take it.

So, I'm curious as to what the magic is about the Iron Throne.

Then I sat on it, and sadly didn't feel anything extra other than a butt poke. "

"I originally planned to deal with this matter when the Great Council was convened, but now that it has been discussed, then"

Dany propped her chin on her right hand and pondered for a moment, then said: "I can declare you innocent. During the Battle of the Usurper, you, like the other six dedicated white knights, fulfilled your oath to Targaryen and defended The honor of being an exemplary knight of the Seven Kingdoms."

"Your Majesty, don't be deceived by him, the Kingslayer is lying." Big Bear said urgently.

"He's not lying." Dany shook her head.

"Your Majesty, this case cannot be made. If you forgive the kingslayer today, tomorrow there will be a second and third white knight who thinks he has a reason to kill the king." Gals said solemnly.

"What's the use of thinking you've got enough reason? He's got to convince everyone, at least, as Jaime Lannister can convince me, and the future king."

Geraldine looked at James who was stunned on the spot with a complicated expression, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please think again, no matter how much the kingslayer swears, it can't change the fact that he killed your father. He and you There is a hatred of killing the father and destroying the country."

Dany was silent.

She wanted to say that she had no feelings for the Mad King at all.

It was James instead, whom she really admired now.

But those words cannot come from the mouth of a daughter.

Barristan's complexion changed, and finally he sighed, and persuaded him earnestly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to punish him, but you can't declare him innocent, let alone admit that he has fulfilled the oath of the White Knight.

Killing the king is the greatest crime in the history of the kingdom, and killing the king as a white knight is the biggest breach of oath. "

Belwas looked at the sworn brothers, a little at a loss.

He didn't know what to say, but on this occasion, he felt that he had to express his attitude.

"Queen, if this cripple is not lying, your father is really not wronged, but no matter how damned he is, he is also your father.

This makes Belwas very embarrassed, why don't you fight him for a trial, and let the seven gods decide your final fate. "

As soon as he said this, his sworn brothers, the centaur maid, the Unsullied at the door, and even the Dragon Queen all rolled their eyes.

——You let a cripple with a severed hand compete with the Dragon Queen, isn't that forcing him to die?

　(ps: The madness of the mad king is also reflected in the relationship between husband and wife. Every time before intercourse, he will burn one or a group of prisoners with wildfire, because burning people with wildfire is like a tonic to the mad king.

　　After Burning Man, the Mad King was so crazy that his wife Leila was tortured.

　　Uh, it's star abuse.

　　When Jaime was the Kingsguard, he often heard Mennerella crying when he was abused.The next day the servants could see the redness, bite marks and scratches on the queen.

　　Interestingly, Robert also likes to do this to Cersei.

　　But it wasn't the wildfire that whetted Robert's desire, it was the strong drink.

　　Cersei is often tossed and cried by him, and James is guarding the door—Robert likes to deliberately arrange for James to guard the door when he is tossing Cersei.

　　James almost couldn't bear it several times, and became the second "Kingslayer".

　　Personally, if James really rushed in, he would be facing Robert's sledgehammer.

　　If the two really fight, James may not necessarily win.

　　Robert's health bar is too thick, and under the premise of being drugged, he can also kill the wild boar if he is pushed by a wild boar.It is estimated that if James stabs him with a sword, he can also fight back. )
