Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 250 Talking about Marriage
The news that Imond had tamed a dragon had already spread throughout the valley.

Prince Coollen wouldn't act without personal gain; he must have seen the value in the dragon rider.

"Hehe, of course my son is outstanding."

Viserys couldn't help but feel smug.

Allison glanced at her husband, her expression unreadable.

"The sea is calm for now, so let's discuss and finalize the marriage of the prince and princess."

As expected, Otto steered the conversation toward what he wanted.

"Perhaps it's still early."

Viserys hesitated for a moment, not wanting to discuss it in public.

He had ulterior motives.

First, the relationship between children is not as good as imagined, and it is too early to follow tradition.

Secondly, they looked down on the Dornes and did not want one of their sons to marry a Dornes woman and have a grandson with Dornes blood.

Therefore, Viserys secretly nudged the Prime Minister on his right.

"Ah, yes."

Leonor perked up and tried to change the subject: "Bravos and Valentis are ambitious; I wonder what other schemes they have up their sleeves."

"There are only a thousand days of thievery, but not a thousand days of guarding against thieves. With the sea serpents guarding the gorge, we don't need to worry about it before the war."

Otto dismissed the idea outright and continued with the marriage: "Prince Aegon is already 14 years old, well past the age of engagement. Don't forget that Prince Aemon was engaged when he was only 12."

As he spoke, he turned his attention to Imon, who had dark circles under his eyes.

Amon yawned halfway through, then pointed to himself, looking surprised, and asked, "Who, me?"

You all talk your stuff, why are you talking about me?

"You can continue to rest."

Viserys gave his nephew a cold look and told him not to interrupt.

“Oh,” Imon said, displeased.

"The royal family is no ordinary noble family, and their marriage is of utmost importance."

Otto, unwavering in his resolve, said, "Moreover, with the kingdom at its peak, Your Majesty should focus your attention on your children and ensure the continuation of the ancient Valyrian bloodline."

"After all that talk, all I wanted to do was persuade Aegon and Helena to follow tradition."

Renilla rolled her eyes.

Otto choked for a moment, unable to refute.

"Don't make any noise."

Viserys was extremely annoyed, but after being lectured by Otto for so long, he really couldn't avoid these matters.

After all, their children's marriage had been discussed as early as three months ago.

For the peace of the kingdom, for the continuation of the bloodline.

Viserys turned the jade thumb ring on his left hand and pondered, "Everyone, think about whether there are any noble ladies of suitable age in the kingdom who could match Aegon."

quiet!
The scene was quiet for a moment.

With the sea serpent away and Grand Secretary Melos bedridden, the Imperial Council was already short of members.

Leonor lowered his head and remained silent, Otto calmed himself down, and Tyran scratched his head anxiously.

The old man, Lin Man, looked around. Everyone remained silent. He then held up one finger with a smug look on his face and said, "Your Majesty, I have a granddaughter."

"okay, I get it."

Viserys smiled politely.

Lin Man frowned and said seriously, "Your Majesty, my granddaughter is very beautiful."

“I will consider it, Lord Linman.”

Viserys shut him down.

If Otto hadn't insisted, he wouldn't have wanted to bring up his children's marriage.

In his heart, it was still better for Aegon and Helena to follow tradition.

But the reality is that Aegon is hopeless, and the siblings won't be happy even if they follow tradition.

As a second choice, Aegon could marry the daughter of a great noble family.

Ideally, she should be the daughter of a nobleman, below the rank of Duke and above the rank of Earl.

Even so, he was still hesitant.

The Bisbury family of Hive City has a long history, but they are only one of the major vassals of the Hightower family of Oldtown.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, it is not an option.

Seeing the king's meaning, Lin Man sat up straight and continued to pretend to be a listless old man.

However, once someone has made the first move, others will naturally follow suit.

Leonor thought for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.

There are only men in this generation of House Strong; the daughters of the collateral branches are not worthy of Prince Aegon.

Among the most prestigious noble families in the Hejian region.

The Tully family of Riverrun is headed by an old duke with one son and two grandsons, but no girls of marriageable age.

The Blackwood family of Raventree City does have a girl named Alexandra Blackwood.

But this girl was not beautiful, and had a very fierce personality.

The river area was eliminated.

Tyran mentioned several daughters of noble families in the West, which made Viserys nod repeatedly.

In particular, the daughter of the patriarch of the Westerling family, a great noble family in the Westerlands, was very much to his liking.

Sir Harold, Commander of the Kingsguard, was a member of the Westerling family and was the uncle of the current head of the family.

“Your Majesty, if you trust me, Johanna Westerling would be an excellent choice,” Sir Harold said, bowing his head in the hall.

"Oh?"

Viserys became interested.

His Iron Guard Commander was an upright man who upheld the spirit of chivalry and would never act out of selfishness or make baseless accusations.

As the king's conversation grew increasingly animated, Otto began to get restless.

"Your Majesty, there may be a better choice than the daughters of the nobles of the seven kingdoms."

"It's not that you think marriage is important, I'm just being very selective."

Viserys chuckled.

Rhaenyra added fuel to the fire, saying, "I've heard of Miss Johanna Westerling. She's three years older than Aegon and has managed the Rock City very well for a long time. She's the object of many men's affections in the Westerlands."

Imon thought for a moment and nodded silently.

He had a good relationship with Sir Harold, who had previously introduced him to Miss Johanna, who shared the same name as the "Black Swan."

how to say.

Janssf of the West.

She is absolutely a rare find – gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, loyal and devoted.

According to historical records, this Miss Johanna married Jason Lannister, Duke of the Westerlands.

After the Dance of the Dragons ended, Duke Jason died in the Riverlands. It was Miss Johanna who, on behalf of her deceased husband and the Westerlands, visited King's Landing and reached a peace agreement.

Is a character.

Aegon was lucky to marry her; he really got a good catch.

"no!"

Otto stood up.

Viserys turned around in surprise, and said unhappily, "What, does my Minister of Justice have any good candidates to recommend?"

"Sorry, I lost my temper."

Otto realized he had overreacted and honestly apologized.

His demands were simple, even revealing his purpose quite directly.

“I believe that Prince Aegon and Princess Helena are of similar age and could follow the family traditions of the Conqueror and his sister to ensure the purity of the Targaryen bloodline.”

Otto revealed his true intentions.

"And what about the marriage proposal put forward by Prince Coollen? Isn't Prince Imond a good candidate?"

"By bribing Dorne through marriage, or even incorporating Dorne into the kingdom's territory, we can avoid many unnecessary sacrifices."

Otto spoke eloquently, convinced that he was always right.

Viserys remained silent, his face dark.

In fact, Otto was absolutely right.

Aegon and Helena, Aymond marrying the Dornish princess—it was the best decision imaginable.

"What do you think?"

Viserys neither agreed nor disagreed, but his attitude spoke volumes.

Leonor: "Think twice before you act."

Tailan gave an awkward smile.

"I think we should ask Aegon and the others for their opinions."

With his chin resting on his hand, Aemon gave his first serious speech of the day.

Although the era was the feudal Middle Ages, Targaryens with dragons were no ordinary people; the chances of them going mad and the consequences of going mad were both severe.

If Aegon and his men are unwilling, things will be difficult to resolve.

"Is anyone else going to say anything?"

Viserys stared wide-eyed at everyone, including his daughter Renilla.

Allison pursed his lips and whispered, "I agree with what Amon said."

"What about you?"

Viserys eventually set his sights on Otto.

Otto dared not offend the king at this time, and obediently said, "Ask Prince Aegon and the others, it is indeed feasible."

"very good."

Viserys stood up abruptly and said impatiently, "I'll ask them when I get back. Meeting adjourned."

Having said that, he strode away with Sir Harold.

He wanted to use this method to tell everyone that he was angry.

His family is one of the few people he truly values.

Discussing one's children's marriage is fine, but even Otto, as the maternal grandfather, cannot unilaterally decide on his children's marriage.

Seeing this, the others left.

Emon leaned against Renilla, walking out as if he were half-paralyzed.

He was so tired, so sleepy, and so hungry.

At night, they were used like donkeys in the production team; in the morning, they had to get up before dawn to clock in and attend meetings.

His Highness the Prince has been pampered since childhood; when has he ever suffered like this?

On my second day in King's Landing, I missed the Vale.

"Prince Aemon, wait a moment."

Suddenly, Otto called out to him from behind.
