Chapter 17 Imperial Meeting (Part 2)

"Your Majesty, this is a bit inappropriate." Ned Stark quickly stopped him.

"The mediocre king Aegon IV Targaryen legitimized his illegitimate son, which led to the Blackfire Rebellion (the male protagonist is a descendant of the Blackfire family).

You can’t make the same mistake again!”

Robert was a little displeased when he heard his good brother's words, and said sternly: "Ned, do you think I am the same as the mediocre king?

The seat of the Iron Throne will always be Joffrey's, and your daughter Sansa Stark will be queen, that will never change, I promise you.

If his name is not Baratheon, he cannot be king."

He thought Ned was worried about how Edric would affect the interests of his son-in-law Joffrey and his daughter Sansa in the future.

Ned looked helpless. He just felt that Robert would cause big problems if he targeted the Tyrell family in this way.

Although the fleet on Qingting Island is powerful enough, the Tyrell family is still the richest and most powerful in the Reach.

You can't label someone a rebel just because they opposed you back then, right?

"His Majesty……"

Ned Stark wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Robert raising his hand:

"There is no need to talk about this matter anymore. Next, we can talk about how to deal with that Targaryen.

Varys, you said he defeated the pirates in Lys, does that mean he still has an army?"

Wallis nodded:

"Yes, Your Majesty, he should have an army, otherwise he would not be able to defeat a pirate unless he has a giant dragon, but the dragon has been extinct for hundreds of years."

Robert couldn't help but snorted when he heard the dragon: "The dragon, all the Targaryen madmen have been cursed by the dragon.

Since this bastard claims to be Rhaegar's son, then I must chop off his head. Which navy do you think we should send?"

The Seven Kingdoms now have three major navies: the Iron Fleet composed of the ironmen of the Iron Islands, Stannis's royal fleet, and the Draven fleet of Qingting Island.

It is obviously not necessary to send all the core forces of the two fleets to deal with the pirates on the Stepstone Islands, so the task of chasing Aegon can also be left to any of the three parties.

Varys immediately gave Robert an idea:

"Your Majesty, according to the intelligence, they are going to Slaver's Bay. I think we can send the Ironborn there. Since they have sworn allegiance to you, they must at least play some role."

To Robert, the group of ironmen on the Iron Islands were a group of unruly pirates. If they were sent to destroy Aegon, no matter who of them defeated, it would actually be a good thing for Robert.

This way Robert can sit on the sidelines in the early stages.

And he didn't feel comfortable leaving such a task to his incompetent brother Stannis again.

Robert nodded with satisfaction after hearing the news, expressing his agreement with the idea.

"Your Majesty, what if they buy a powerful army and the Iron Fleet is defeated?" Ned couldn't help but remind him.

"Then send assassins to kill those bastards. No, I want to send assassins to kill them first. I can't bear the thought of Targaryens living in the world."

"Your Majesty, Daenerys is still a little girl."

Robert shouted angrily: "Ned, don't forget that your brother, your father, and your sister all died at the hands of Targaryen."

His cheeks were beating with anger, his face was already red, and the words in his mouth still didn't stop:

"If we don't kill those Targaryens, why don't we wait for them to kill us?"

"Your Majesty, I also feel that it is inappropriate to deal with a little girl in this way. The Seven Gods will blame us." Barristan, the captain of the Kingsguard, also echoed Ned.

They were the only two people present who opposed Robert killing Daenerys.

"Knight Barristan, you must remember that you are now the King's Kingsguard, and the Kingsguard is not asking you to oppose the King.

Let Wallis arrange this matter."

After Robert finished speaking, he left angrily.

Barristan stood there for a while and then left alone.

On the way back, he recalled Rhaegar and felt that he had made a mistake in choosing to serve Robert.

But he was already loyal to him, and he could not easily break the oath of the Kingsguard.

The finance minister, Littlefinger Baelish, approached Varys after the meeting ended.

"I heard Lord Varys was also from Lys."

Wallis still wore his smile that would never change:

"Yes, it was a difficult time. I think Lord Baelish must have experienced that kind of hardship when he was young."

When Baelish was young, his family was just a poor lord, the kind of lord who didn't even have a castle.

And like Varys, he was full of calculations along the way, and he firmly believed that chaos was the ladder to ascend.

So he also had some empathy for Varys's childhood, except that he was not castrated.

"Who says it's not the case? Those of us who are not as noble as others can only work harder than those people.

Oh, by the way, if that Aegon is not a liar, who might have helped him escape?"

When Wallis heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his hands in his sleeves couldn't help but tighten a little: "Who knows, my little bird can't know everything yet."

"Yes, but Lord Varys should be considered an old subject of Targaryen, right?" Littlefinger narrowed his eyes and smiled.

It's just that this smile doesn't give people any sense of comfort at all.

As the most thoughtful person on the field, Littlefinger always speculates on everyone's motives with the greatest malice.

But just now, he really couldn't guess what Varys's motive was, so he could only come to test it.

"Lord Baelish, what do you mean by this? I was hired by the Mad King. Are you saying that I, a person who has nothing to do with Targaryen, will save that child?"

Seeing this, Littlefinger could only spread his hands and say: "I just said that casually! Since Lord Varys doesn't want to listen, I won't say it."

Varys snorted angrily: "I hope Lord Baelish will stop making such groundless speculations, otherwise I can still say that I think Lord Jon Arryn (former Hand of the King) died like one of Lys's."

What about poison?

Some even say they saw you in Braavos.

How many lives do you think these baseless conjectures will cost, Lord Baelish?"

Petyr Baelish's face became a little stiff when he heard this, and he couldn't say anything else. He could only say haha:

"It's not my fault, forgive me for being a little paranoid!"
Chapter completed!
