Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord

There was a mess here, and the Kingsguard rushed over.

Aemon's eyes turned, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "My father conquered the Stepstones for the kingdom and rescued those innocent people who were kidnapped. If anyone disagrees, come to Runestone City to find me!"

Fighting is fighting, but there must be no handle.

Pointing at a few terrified old women, he reprimanded them with reason: "Does the Redwyne family not engage in maritime trade, or does it not have a fleet to fight against the Stepstones?"

"You don't want to serve the country, and you are not qualified to talk about people behind their backs!"

The reason was convincing, but the childish face and childish voice were slightly less lethal.

But that didn't matter, it was enough to stand on the moral high ground.

He pointed and belittled them to nothing.

After today, new jokes will spread on the continent.

Alicent looked flustered and stood there at a loss.

"Humph, I'll slip away first."

Aemon shook his head and quickly escaped from the tent.

If you get the advantage, you have to run away. If you stay, you will definitely not have a good time.

Someone will finish it for him.

He ran away, and those who saw this scene could not ignore it.

Viserys had a wonderful expression. Looking at the old woman who had no image and rolled on the ground, his mind was blank.

Was she beaten like this?

"Your Majesty."

Lyonel reacted quickly and whispered the truth in his ear.

Hearing this, Viserys forced a smile and gave a look to Ser Harold, the commander of the Kingsguard.

Ser Harold immediately understood and came forward to solve the problem on behalf of the king.

Soon, the injured old woman was taken away by the maester to treat her injuries, and the tent became quiet.

Viserys was mixed with joy and sorrow, and shook his head and laughed secretly.

As expected of Daemon's son, he was also fearless.

But he was not angry.

Who can blame a good child who knows how to maintain his family and protect his daughter.

...

On the other side.

Aemon ran out of the tent and happened to meet Ser Steve who was patrolling.

That's great.

Aemon smiled and said, "Sir, come and help."

Today, the Royal Forest is hunting, and the escort team is not complete.

One white knight is enough.

Ser Steve came over and said respectfully, "Prince, how can I help you?"

"My mother is hunting in the Royal Forest, take me for a walk."

Aemon's face was serious.

Ignoring Ser Steve's hesitation, he set off without saying anything.

If you hit someone, of course you have to pick up the bucket and run away.

Of course, it's not because you are afraid of being punished.

The moment you started, you knew that someone would protect him.

Now you are a slippery little loach to make it easier for your uncle Viserys to "show favoritism".

An eight-year-old child, just playing around.

"Prince, sit tight."

Ser Steve couldn't refuse, so he led a handsome white horse out of the stable and rode away with the prince in his arms.

Soon, they entered the Royal Forest.

The trees are lush, the birds are chirping, and the path is sparsely populated.

Ser Steve adhered to the strict requirements of the Kingsguard and asked the prince the real reason for his hurry.

An honest and loyal man almost fell off his horse.

Aemon held the reins and comforted him, "Don't panic, it's okay."

"Prince, it will be embarrassing for the princess and the queen if you do this."

Ser Steve looked helpless and tried to persuade him.

As a teacher, the swordsmanship instructor must be responsible for his maester.

Aemon nodded, "I'll pay attention."

He said so, but he had another thought in his mind.

He suddenly hit people, partly because it involved his father Daemon, and the other half to provoke Rhaenyra.

Those old women seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for her.

Rhaenyra could not retreat, and the royal family could not show weakness to the Oldtown family.

He wanted to make a good start and further inspire Rhaenyra's fighting spirit.

I am right, what am I afraid of!

However, the reality is different from what I expected.

Aemon lowered his head and said to himself: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the group of old women are helpers that Alicent found, but they are not good at using them."

Otherwise, he would not do such a stupid thing as scolding his son.

Judging from Alicent's performance, it is estimated that she did not expect it.

"It seems that the power is still in the hands of Prime Minister Otto."

Aemon's thoughts turned, and he speculated that Alicent's situation was similar to that of Rhaenyra.

They are all vassals of their respective fathers.

So, if you want to extinguish the future "Dance of the Dragons", you must first see the power structure of King's Landing clearly.

On the third day of arriving in King's Landing, I had a general understanding.

Taking the Imperial Council as an example, it can be divided into three factions.

First, the pro-king faction who is loyal to the king. Second, the Oldtown faction headed by Prime Minister Otto.

Third, the neutral faction.

The Oldtown faction has the greatest power, with Prime Minister Otto as the core figure and Grand Maester Meros as a running dog.

The main purpose is to support young Aegon to replace Rhaenyra and further steal power.

With Alicent as the queen, there are many supporters.

The pro-king faction is the weakest.

On the way back from the Royal Forest Hunt, Aemon saw the "Minister of Justice" Lyonel riding a horse with his eldest son following the team.

Combined with the special position of Harrenhal and the experience of this adult in the original book.

It can be judged that he is a lone minister who is loyal to the royal family and was pushed up by the eldest uncle Viserys.

Specialized in dealing with the increasingly difficult Prime Minister Otto.

The rest of the "Secretary of Finance" Lyman Bisbury and the "Secretary of the Navy" Tyland Lannister should be neutral parties who stay out of the matter and do not interfere in the power struggle.

The former was born in the Bisbury family of the Beehive City, and his title was the Old Town Hightower.

Even if he was loyal to the king, he could not win his trust.

He could only not help either side.

Tyland was born in the Lannister family of the Westerlands. He was born a few minutes later than his identical brother Jason, and was an unlucky guy who could not inherit the family business.

He is a typical fence-sitter. He wants to imitate Prime Minister Otto, who is also the second son, to be favored by the king, and he also wants to use his wisdom to seek personal gain.

So he is caught between two sides and is often scolded.

Aemon thought carefully and made up his mind: "I am small and weak, so I just pretend not to understand."

Excluding the intrigue of the royal meeting, there is the court struggle between Rhaenyra and Alicent.

Rhaenyra's so-called "Princess Party" is simply another pro-king faction.

It can even be said that it is another identity of the great uncle Viserys.

To keep her heir qualification is to maintain the power of the royal family.

The Oldtown line dare not offend the king and can only attack her madly.

Alicent's "Queen's Party" is even more ridiculous.

In fact, there is no Queen's Party at all, only Prime Minister Otto's Oldtown line.

Alicent is just a tool for her father to fight for power and profit, a mascot with the identity of the queen.

Aemon's little face was melancholy and he sighed.

He was still thinking that he could live a happy life by holding on to Rhaenyra and Alicent.

Now it seems that it is too early to be happy.

The two of them are more disappointing than each other, and none of them can be relied on. "Forget it, it is better to rely on yourself than on others."

Aemon rubbed his face and his mind jumped to another point.

According to the timeline of the original book, Prime Minister Otto will soon be dismissed and replaced by Lord Lyonel.

It proves that in this power struggle, the eldest uncle Viserys, who represents the royal power, won.

Rhaenyra thus retained her qualification as heir, and Alicent gradually took over the Oldtown system.

On the surface, Viserys single-handedly returned power to his wife and daughter.

It can be said that he won.

"But it also sowed the seeds of disaster."

Aemon knew very well that Rhaenyra, who was not suppressed by anyone, and Alicent, who was vengeful, would act recklessly.

This will be the beginning of chaos in the court and promote the real formation of the black and green parties.

It's like a child holding a gun, and even a dog on the roadside will be slapped twice.

It's not about who is stronger, but who is worse.
