The Mountain of Ice and Fire

#815 - Jenny's Sword

"Kill us all?" Daenerys shouted sharply, "Kill us all, and he will sow an irreconcilable hatred between Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion. I will let Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion escape, and they will return to take revenge when they grow up."

"The Mountain is not the brute you told me about. He is cunning, insidious, deeply calculating, and good at plotting. He must ensure that he can snatch Viserion without incurring Viserion's hatred; his forbearance is not because of the sincerity and honor of the negotiations, but to ensure that he can build his dragon knight army. He needs my children, he needs to take a dragon, and what he needs to get is the Dragon Horn, my Lord Hand."

"We sit down with the Mountain to negotiate, and my dragons in the sky cannot tell that this is war; but if the Mountain kills us all, the dragons will immediately know who their enemy is. Even a dog knows to protect its master, let alone a dragon! During this time you have been with the Mountain, it seems that your wisdom has been completely blinded by the Mountain."

Dragon's hatred? Dragon Knight Legion?

Tyrion Lannister was shocked.

The Mountain is indeed planning to build his own dragon knight army, but this is an absolute secret. The Dragon Queen on Dragonstone Island in the sea cannot possibly know about it. Even if the Mountain has Varys' intelligence spies around him, it is impossible to pass the news to the Dragon Queen so quickly.

The Mountain raises and tames dragons in the Mountains of the Moon. Even if Varys' little birds were ten times more powerful, they couldn't reach the deepest part of the Mountains of the Moon. Among the Mountain's army, those who can get close to the Mountain are all Westerlands generals and his deathsworn. These people returned from the North and could not have been developed into Varys' little birds while also being by the Dragon Queen's side.

Could it be that during the time I was taken away by the Mountain, a mysterious figure really came to the Dragon Queen's side, a wizard who can see some fragments of the future?

Tyrion thought of the Mountain's eye language during the negotiations. The Mountain asked him with his eyes whether there were any soothsayers or wizard-like figures around Daenerys, and Tyrion denied it.

During the negotiations with Daenerys, the Mountain also sensed that Daenerys had caught a glimpse of some of his secrets!

The Mountain snatched Viserion and the Dragon Horn, a plan that Tyrion did not know about beforehand. Now it seems very certain that it was to ensure the propagation of his dragons.

He spared the Dragon Queen's life, is it really as Daenerys said, not out of the sincerity of the negotiations and the honor of a knight? But a deeper level of tactical strategy?

Killing the Dragon Queen Daenerys, will it really sow hatred in the hearts of Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion?

Hatred?

Will the dragons hate the Mountain because the Mountain killed their mother?

Tyrion cannot be 100% sure!

But he knows that maybe there is no hatred, but hostility is definitely inevitable. The saying of hatred is more suitable for human beings themselves.

And for insurance, to be foolproof, before hatching his own dragon, I am afraid that the Mountain will really not attack the Dragon Queen! In case it brings harm to Daenerys' three dragons, and unintentionally sows irreconcilable hostility... The Dragon Queen is Drogon's dragon rider, and Drogon will be loyal to the Dragon Queen until death, there is no doubt about that...

But he can sneak attack?

But whether it is a sneak attack to kill the Dragon Queen or any other method, it is not as safe as hatching a dragon first. With the Dragon Knight Legion, that is the most important thing!

And killing the Dragon Queen is of course not as great as conquering the Dragon Queen!

In the future, if the Mountain really implements conquest, in the kingdom of Slaver's Bay, the Mountain needs the best and most prestigious agent, just like a lord needs a vassal! The best candidate is of course Daenerys!

Tyrion Lannister suddenly felt a chill run down his spine!

He realized that his wisdom did not seem to be much higher than the Mountain's!

A cold air rose from the soles of his feet and flowed through his body.

Tyrion Lannister felt a winter-like coldness: as if falling into an ice cellar!

He had always thought highly of himself and had great confidence in his wisdom and erudition. He looked down on the world and looked at the shallowness of the world with a mocking look. His disrespect for God all stemmed from the pride in his heart!

But just now, reminded by Daenerys, he thought of a lot, and the Mountain gave him a strong crushing feeling.

Especially in the big picture, he found that his vision could not keep up with the Mountain's pattern.

Knowing later! - is not the glory of a truly wise man, but shame!

Tyrion was speechless. Faced with the Queen's anger, his eloquence froze!

"Tyrion Lannister, I need you to prove your loyalty." Daenerys could not suppress her anger, "This negotiation was a complete defeat, and you were with the Mountain for many days. You came back with him, but in the negotiations, you never warned me. Why? Did I overestimate your wisdom? Or were you blinded by the Mountain's wisdom, or have you been betrayed by the Mountain's brutality? Don't lie, there are people around me who can unravel your lies."

Someone around can reveal lies?

Tyrion was shocked again: Has a different person really come to the Queen's side? Wizard? Monk or some other priest?

Above King's Landing, two dragons, one large and one small, hovered, receiving everyone's attention!

On the city wall, all the garrison troops raised their heads and looked up!

Under the city wall, tens of thousands of soldiers raised their heads and looked up!

At the Blackwater River port and dock, soldiers, generals, sailors, workers... everyone raised their heads and looked up!

In the city - on the streets, balconies, Great Sept of Baelor Square, rooftops... there were people everywhere... nuns, Silent Sisters, refugees, vagrants, commoners, monks, pyromancers, grooms, servants... people from all walks of life, adults and children, all raised their heads and looked up.

On the back of that giant dragon, rode the Mountain!

The Mountain - Minister of War of the Seven Kingdoms; Warden of the North, West, and East; Duke of Dragonstone; Lord of Clegane's Keep, Tarbeck Hall, and Castamere; King of the Claw Isle; leader of the native tribes of the Mountains of the Moon; Red Hand of the Burning Men...

On the back of the small dragon next to the giant dragon, rode a beautiful woman! The lord from Dorne - Princess Arianne Martell!

"Warriors of the Seven Kingdoms, people of the whole city." The Mountain's voice resounded throughout the city, "I am the Mountain. Daenerys' dragon Viserion has been conquered by Princess Arianne Martell and has become her mount. Now, we on the continent of Westeros already have two dragons: Sheepstealer and Viserion. In the future, we will have more dragons."

All the soldiers and people in the city raised their heads to look at the Mountain and listened to his voice. There was a galloping horse in everyone's heart, but everyone suppressed the joy in their hearts. The ecstasy flowed throughout the city, waiting for that strange moment of eruption...

"From today onwards, the people of Westeros - including the Andals, the Rhoynar, the descendants of the First Men, and all the natives of the continent, will no longer be ruled and bullied by any foreigners. The people of Westeros are the greatest nation and the most powerful. Any invading enemies will be crushed by us!"

Just as the cheers were just beginning to sound like a fountain from the ground, the Mountain stretched out his hand to stop the cheers. His voice crushed everything: "Dear warriors, dear people, Princess Arianne and I have just gone to Dragonstone Island and reached a peace agreement with Daenerys Targaryen. Daenerys admits the sin of invasion and apologizes and withdraws her troops. She left 50,000 war horses and a dragon as compensation. The name of this dragon is Viserion, and he is Daenerys' sincerity in requesting peace!"

It is a maliciously pleasant experience to gild one's face and mix some bragging among most of the truth. The Mountain enjoys this pleasure of boasting! The shamelessness in small details on a strong man is an advantage that people like to imitate!

Arianne Martell, riding on Viserion's back, listened with a smile on her face! She found that she loved the Mountain even more! This kind of man has a really interesting soul that turns black and white upside down!

If it is true that Daenerys sent them a dragon as sincerity, it can only be said that the Mountain's fist and her sword are the most beautiful language. And the Mountain's treachery can of course also be said to be wisdom, the language logic of a rhetorician who persuaded Daenerys to send a dragon.

Finally, the Mountain shouted loudly: "From today onwards, whoever attacks us, we will destroy him! Whoever provokes us, we will teach him a lesson; whoever dares to plot against us in trade, we will go and talk to them about reason. We Westerosi will stand on the top of the world with reason. Of course, in the face of our enemies, in addition to forgiveness, we also have the sharp swords and invincible dragons of our warriors!"

All the soldiers and people in the city felt proud, their blood boiled, and they were extremely excited! The young people clenched their fists, and the soldiers put their hands on the hilts of their swords!

"We have won. Cheer loudly, people of Westeros. We are an invincible and great nation! Long live Westeros!" The Mountain drew his great sword and shouted loudly!

Boom!

The cheers were overwhelming, like the waves of the sea, like the rumbling of spring thunder. The shouts of hundreds of thousands of people were earth-shattering!

All the people and soldiers in the city cheered together. This cheer had been suppressed for too long, like a fountain that was strongly suppressed underground. Once the boulder blocking the mouth of the fountain was removed, the spring water shot out like a cannonball and rushed into the sky!

Red Keep. Maegor's Holdfast. Queen Mother's Ballroom.

Like the soldiers and people in the city, Arya was also very surprised. The Mountain's team had another dragon. How did he do it?

The Mountain is really amazing!

However, in addition to admiring the Mountain, Arya also had other strange thoughts of girls.

In front of the willow-shaped French window, Arya, disguised as Cersei, looked at Jeyne with a smile: "Madam, congratulations, congratulations. Your husband, the Mountain, has captured another dragon from Daenerys and forced Daenerys to withdraw her troops. He is really amazing. But it is a pity that you are not on the dragon's back. Arianne Martell seems to be quite favored by the Mountain!"

There was no pity for Jeyne in Arya's eyes, but a flickering look of teasing. She seemed to be a very leisurely spectator, but there was no subjective malice in her expression. In this world, everyone is tolerant and leisurely towards the internal strife that does not fall on their own heads.

Jeyne Westerling's expression was indifferent, but perhaps she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. No one could see her inner emotions from her face. She stroked her bulging belly and said lightly: "Arya Stark, do you want to make me sad and stimulate my fetal qi, and then cause me to have a miscarriage? My child will be born soon. At this time, I don't mind Arianne taking care of my husband for me. When they come to the Red Keep later, I will thank her in person."

Arya Stark was stunned for a moment in surprise, and then smiled in relief. She was completely convinced by Jeyne's words. She really did not expect that Jeyne would thank Arianne in person for taking care of the Mountain for her.

"Oh! I'm sorry, Madam Jeyne, please forgive my deliberate rudeness. I forgot about your little baby for a moment." Arya bent down and put her face on Jeyne's belly, "Will this little guy hear my rude words?"

"When he comes out, you can ask him directly. But, Arya, I accept your apology. Daenerys apologized, sent dragons and horses, and asked for peace. She will withdraw her troops soon. Then we will need to elect a new king. The kingdom has been in civil war for years and needs stability. Cersei and Jaime's family have already left. Once Daenerys withdraws her troops, the time for you and me to control the palace will not last long."

"Madam Jeyne, like you and Lord Mountain, we all recommend Jon Targaryen."

"Then immediately send a letter and ask Jon Targaryen to come to the Red Keep quickly."

"I have already released the raven, Madam Jeyne. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, my father's letter will come back. Jon Targaryen will dare to come to King's Landing with his brothers and ascend the throne. I really look forward to seeing Jon's handsome appearance on the Iron Throne. He will be the best king, and he will definitely manage the country in an orderly manner. With him as king, the Mountain as prime minister, you as the minister of law, and me traveling around the world, under your joint leadership, I know that our continent of Westeros will be prosperous and invincible from now on." Arya Stark said excitedly.

Jeyne Westerling looked at Arya with a smile. Arya is unparalleled as an assassin, but she is still a simple child who can be seen through at a glance!

The whole city is cheering for the Mountain and Long live Westeros. Didn't this child realize anything from it! Jeyne found that she liked Arya Stark even more. The Mountain had long ago formulated a plan to become allies and family with the Stark family. Now it seems that it was a very successful foresight!

The Mountain can safely entrust his back to the Starks on the battlefield! The interest received from making the Starks owe debts will also be the highest and most certain!

Facing Arya, Jeyne did not feel even a little bit of guilt for the Mountain and her own long-term calculations!

Everything is obtained through meticulous planning and the advantages of a prophet, and then through hard work little by little!

Deserved!

"Arya, how long has it been since you released the raven to the North?" In fact, Jeyne knew exactly when Arya released the raven.

"Many days ago."

"Oh, then Lord Eddard's reply will be received soon."

"Yes, Madam!" Arya stood up, "When will we announce my true identity, when will we announce at the meeting of the Small Council that Cersei and Jaime's family have secretly escaped? When will we announce that Jon Targaryen is the king?"

"Tomorrow morning, at the meeting of the Small Council. However, the announcement of Jon as king must be made after we receive the reply from Lord Eddard."

“Yes, Madam!”

Arya's sword was an assassin's blade, unpredictable and deadly, a single strike to seal the throat!

In truth, Jenny also possessed a sword, formless and invisible, yet equally sharp, a single strike to seal the throat, achieving victory in the unseen!

Thanks to [00JH00] for the generous support, thank you, handshake!
