Chapter 120: The Imperial Meeting in King's Landing
Petyr Baelish looked at the letter in his hand expressionlessly, and no one knew what he was thinking.
As one of the top players in this game of power, he didn't know how to describe his feelings.
excited?
nervous?
fear?
Panic?
Neither, it's expectation!
The dragon that disappeared for more than a hundred years is real, and this ancient overlord has appeared in the Seven Kingdoms and in the valley.
Now the great melee of the War of Five Kings is basically over, with only a few shrimps left.
Balon Greyjoy, Lord of the Iron Islands, is a clown.
Robb Stark, King in the North, died at the Red Wedding.
Renly Baratheon was assassinated.
Stannis also fled to Dragonstone after being defeated at Blackwater Bay.
In the end, House Lannister won the War of the Five Kings and basically consolidated Joffrey's throne.
The Reach, the Crownlands, and the Westerlands are the territories of the Iron Throne and its allies.
Dorne has always been a maverick. The Riverlands were destroyed, and the soldiers in the Stormlands were wiped out before surrendering.
The North was awarded to Roose Bolton, and the Boltons became the new guardian family of the North.
And he, Petyr Baelish, emerged from this chaos and became the Lord of Harrenhal.
Although there is still no territory or vassal, this title is very important.
Because at a royal meeting, Littlefinger told Tywin Lannister that the Tyrells were planning to secretly take Sansa to Dorne to marry Loras Tyrell.
Therefore, Lord Tywin took action in advance and married Sansa to Tyrion, and let Loras marry Cersei Lannister.
At that time, Cersei Lannister roared: I am the queen, not a mare.
As a result, he was frightened by Tywin's scolding and was at a loss what to do.
That afternoon Cersei and Tyrion felt sad for the first time for each other.
It's just that Tyrion is better.
Because he married the most beautiful woman in the North.
Although Loras, the man Cersei is going to marry, is young and handsome, he is a gay.
In exchange for the information, Tywin Lannister allowed Petyr Baelish to marry Lysa Tully in the name of the king.
As Lord Petyr Baelish of Harrenhal, he is worthy of Lysa Tully.
Coupled with Petyr Baelish's cautious approach and Lysa's deep love for Petyr, it was easy for him to take control of the valley.
Although the nobles in the Vale did not recognize him very much, in name, he was already the Duke of Harrenhal and the Duke of the Vale.
The next step is to divide and win over the nobles in the valley, and then use the money he has saved over the years to build an army of his own.
With territories, vassals and armies, he would then be the true dignitary and chess player of the Seven Kingdoms.
Instead of being ridiculed and threatened with violence by women like before.
If he had the power he has now, Cersei would never have said to him: Power is strength, thus despising the wisdom he was proud of.
Chaos is the ladder!
Putting away the letter, Little Finger took a deep breath. Even greater chaos was about to come.
This time he has territory and an army, and this time he will only rise to a higher position!
After putting the letter away, he had to attend the royal meeting convened by Tywin Lannister.
Although Tyrion is currently handing over the job of Chancellor of the Coin to him, he is still the Chancellor of the Coin of the Iron Throne.
However, he is about to resign as Chancellor of the Exchequer and take up a post in the Valley.
Of course, before that, he also has to attend Joffrey Baratheon's wedding, where a bigger surprise is waiting for everyone.
A meaningful smile flashed in Petyr Baelish's eyes, and then he fixed his makeup and walked to the Prime Minister's Tower.
Petyr Baelish arrived not too late, as many people had not yet arrived.
After waiting for a while, everyone arrived.
Tywin placed a letter on the table, "The legend of the dragon is true. It first appeared in Dorne and then in the Vale."
"My daughter was taken away by that Blackfyre descendant and her life or death is unknown. Dorne also cancelled the alliance with us. All this is your fault. You are a demon!"
Cersei looked at Tyrion with gritted teeth, but Tyrion had nothing to refute because what Cersei said was indeed right.
He advocated sending Myrcella to Dorne for marriage in order to stabilize Dorne, which was the most hostile to them.
And took action to do so.
But he never imagined that someone had taken Misela away, and her life or death was still unknown.
"Everything that Myrcella has suffered, I will return to you one by one. I will never let you go."
Cersei completely broke off relations with Tyrion, and Tyrion could only remain silent.
"That's enough. I'm calling a royal meeting not to let you quarrel, but to discuss how to deal with the dragon."
Varys glanced at everyone and then said, "The Targaryen on the other side of the strait now has 30,000 troops and three dragons. She has conquered the entire Slaver's Bay and renamed it the Free Trade Coast."
"Besides that, she has a lover, or a mistress, whatever you want to call it, because she is pregnant with this man's child."
"The man who appeared in Dorne and the Vale this time was her man, Jack Poseidon, known as the Father of Dragons. According to the news from Little Bird, his prestige is very high, even not worse than Daenerys on the Free Trade Coast."
Varys curled his lips, some of his little birds were slaves, but they betrayed him directly after being freed, which showed how charming this man was.
Even the little birds on the Free Trade Coast had been almost driven away by the seagulls, and he had slowly lost the news of the Free Trade Coast.
At the beginning, the seagull was no match for the little bird. Later, the other party must have spent a lot of money, and with the "practice" of the little bird, it became more and more skilled in intelligence work.
"How can 30,000 troops attack Westeros?" Cersei said with some indifference.
Varys glanced at Tywin and reminded him again: "Your Highness, she has three dragons and he has one dragon."
"Just a baby dragon."
"I'm growing up every day."
"But according to the news, the dragon is not small at all." Tyrion spoke up now.
"According to the news from Dorne, the dragon is at least five meters long."
Petyr smiled and said, "According to the news from the valley, the dragon is at least ten meters long."
He was still gentle and polite, and seemed not afraid at all of the Targaryen family who were about to return.
Cersei sneered. "Humph, just a rumor."
Grand Maester Pycelle also said at this time: "According to the records in the books, dragons grow very fast, but it is definitely not possible to be ten meters long as the intelligence in the valley said.
According to the normal growth rate, the dragon is probably between 2-3 meters now."
I have to say that Pycelle is quite capable, the body shape he predicted just matches that of Rhaegal and Viserion.
But alas, Koraxus used cheats with the help of Jack, and Drogon was extremely talented, so the two dragons were the wrong size.
