Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 27: Arrogant Otto

"Prince, shall we go hunting?"

Sir Steve observed his surroundings and interrupted.

Aemon blinked and smiled, "Of course."

Why do you think so much?

He had no way to break the impasse for the time being, and could only hope that his uncle Viserys could give him some help and not let the situation get out of control.

When he grows up a little, tame an adult dragon.

It can allow us to be independent from the black and green parties and enter the game as a third party force.

By then, life will be better.

As for why not taking sides?

Because triangles are stable.

"drive!"

Sir Steve took the reins and rode the white horse along the hunting trail.

Aemon's mind came to an end, his body full of strength, and he said excitedly: "Sir, I heard that there is a white deer in the Royal Forest. Let's go and look for it."

He still remembered the strange dream he had last night.

Digging out gold under the big tree might be a sign of something.

For example, find some magical plants that contain magical powers, or the noble white deer that symbolizes auspiciousness.

"No problem, Prince."

Sir Steve was easy to talk to, and even took a bow from his horse's back: "Before practicing swordsmanship, you need to build up your strength first."

"Can I pull it open?" Aemon asked with great interest.

When I threw the bottle at someone just now, I unexpectedly discovered that I was very accurate.

"This is an ordinary wooden bow, just right for you."

Sir Steve smiled innocently and taught the precautions of bow drawing while riding a horse.

Aemon listened carefully and quickly drew the bow.

With a creaking sound, the bowstring was pulled to a full moon shape, which required considerable strength.

On the other side of the Royal Forest, many nobles walked together.

According to Prime Minister Otto, there was a white deer with fur as smooth as silk in the forest, and they all wanted to catch it and present it to the king.

For a time, there was a huge buzz of people.

……

The King's Tent.

"I did not decide to appoint Rhaenyra as my heir on a whim. All lords in the kingdom should keep this in mind."

Viserys's face was gloomy, and he ordered them to leave: "Thank you for your gift, Lord Jason!"

Duke Jason was stunned and quickly took his leave: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The Duke of Casterly Rock in the West, and his identical brother, a handsome blond man with the same face, walked out of the tent in embarrassment.

He should be upset about his gaffe just now.

Viserys' eyes were cold, and he took a big gulp of golden wine, suppressing his anger.

He had just met Lannar who had made a surprise visit.

The little girl who almost became his second wife had grown into a beautiful young lady, and had inherited her mother's beauty and her father's kindness.

Her purpose was simple, to explain that Uncle Weimond's letter for help was a private initiative.

If necessary, she would ride the dragon with her mother Rhaenys to reverse the situation.

It was a very sensible remark, but to Viserys's ears it sounded like the most stinging threat.

Thanks to her cousin Rhaenys being the heir to the Iron Throne, her children have the right to tame dragons.

Today, House Velaryon has not only half of the kingdom's fleet, but also three dragons.

On the other hand, after the royal orthodoxy expelled Daemon, only Rhaenyra was left who could control the dragon.

But she is just a little girl, small in stature and small in dragon size.

It is for this reason that the House of Velaryon is a thorn in their side.

Viserys forced a smile and finally sent Laena away, but the brainless Lord Jason bumped into him.

He boasted that he could provide help to the royal family as long as he married Rhaenyra.

He even dared to say that Rainier would eventually be replaced, and marrying him and enjoying wealth and glory was a form of compensation.

boom!
Viserys became angrier and slammed the armrest of the chair. He gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you, such an arrogant man, marry my daughter!"

But he didn't know that before meeting him, Jason approached Rhaenyra first.

After a greasy confession was rejected, she came to see him. "The hunter has sent out news that the hounds have been sent out. The white deer will soon be cornered."

Otto came around the steps and reported: "Your prey is within your grasp."

Viserys rolled his eyes secretly when he heard this.

He didn't believe that there was a white deer symbolizing the king in the Royal Forest. That was just a lie made up by Otto to build momentum for his grandson Aegon.

Otto did not explain much and sat quietly below the king.

Viserys waved to his squire to pour wine, his mind racing over his recent troubles.

First came the letter for help from the Stone Steps Islands, which was clearly intended to drag the royal family into the water.

With the arrival of Kalnar, we can no longer just sit back and watch the fire.

Another was Prime Minister Otto, who was eager to support his grandson to take the throne and began to ignore his authority.

In contrast, there was no rush for Rainier's marriage.

However, this solution cannot be ignored.

Viserys glanced at Otto, then thought of a plan. "What do you think of Lord Jason's proposal?"

"He's not just arrogant."

Otto straightened his back and said with a hint of disdain, "They are not a good match."

To be honest, Duke Jason had the same goals as him and could be considered an ally.

If he could marry Rhaenyra, he could make room for his grandson Aegon.

Sadly, he's a brainless idiot.

Viserys chuckled and continued to ask: "Then who do you think is the better candidate?"

"Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country."

Otto became serious, moved closer, and instructed: "Princess Rainier is your daughter, she should obey your orders."

Viserys was speechless and objected: "I don't want to order her, I just want her to live happily."

Not everyone is like this father-in-law and old friend who can force his daughter to get married.

He appointed Rhaenyra as the heir not only because he didn't want his younger brother Daemon to take advantage of him, but also because he loved his daughter from the bottom of his heart.

Otto groaned for a moment and lowered his voice: "In addition to Casterly Rock, we have another option that may make you feel better."

"Oh, who is it?"

Viserys's eyes darkened and his tone changed.

He wanted to see what kind of person he could recommend.

Based on the candidate mentioned by the other party, we can decide whether to remove him.

Otto was particularly self-aware and kept it a secret: "It's closer to home, too."

Viserys rubbed his fingers over the wine glass, expectantly, "Who is it?"

If the other party says it is Imon, it means that he is still on the same page as you, so you don't need to worry about it.

“It’s right before our eyes!”

Unfortunately, Otto did not seize the opportunity and turned to look at an area behind the main seat.

Viserys was startled at the words and looked in the direction of the sight.

What came into view was the two-year-old little Aegon sitting on the ground, screaming in the arms of his maid.

Viserys was stunned for a moment, then he smiled: "Otto, he is only two years old."

It turns out that people really laugh when they are speechless.

Otto was still unwilling to give up and advised: "Make them an engagement, so as to stop the endless stream of people proposing to Rhaenyra."

Viserys gritted his teeth secretly, and his anger towards Otto reached its peak.

He even felt completely humiliated by the feeling of being treated like a fool.

You want your grandson to be the heir and steal the royal power.

Now he doesn't even bother to hide it and wants to make Rainier lose the money as well.

In the end, all the children he had were for the Hightowers.

Otto had no idea what the king was thinking, so he said calmly, "It's better than Prince Aemon. He's Daemon's son."

As soon as the words fell, a chill came over me.

Viserys's face suddenly turned cold, and he laughed in anger: "I came here to hunt, not to be entangled in these damn politics!"

As he said this, he used his palm to gesture as if he was strangling his neck.

But in my heart I wanted even more to reach out to Otto and break his neck.
