Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 277 Grand Scholar Orville
The next day, early morning.

Early in the morning, despite not sleeping in, Imon rode his dragon back to the old town.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The bells of the Cathedral of Stars rang, and the cunning sheep thief flew past.

A towering pagoda.

Aegon ran out to greet Aemon and his two companions.

"What...what's that on your chest?"

Aymond's eyes widened as he pointed to the three-headed golden dragon emblem on Aegon's chest.

"Is this what you're talking about?"

Aegon, looking smug, straightened his newly researched personal crest and boasted, "I am now the King of the Tower of Heights, so of course I have to be different from everyone else."

Three golden dragons on a green background.

Symbolizing the Green Party's identity and the golden glare.

"You! The King of the Tower of Heaven!?"

Aemond was at his wits end.

Aegon did nothing, yet he became the master of the Tower of Babel.

He defeated Aegon, burned Durstonbury, conquered Starstalker, and wiped out House Baeck...

What do all the hardships matter?
"You've got some guts, my dear brother."

Aegon opened his arms and swayed as he stepped forward to put his arm around Aymond's shoulder.

That look was so incredibly irritating.

Imond's face was grim, and his hands were clenched into fists.

Aegon wasn't afraid. He whispered in his ear, "You don't know yet, do you?"

He not only has a towering tower, but also two newly appointed and powerful vassals.

Even the marriage alliance target for this trip has been set.

"Aegon!!"

Imond's eyes were blazing with fury, and he was on the verge of going berserk.

"Hey, aren't you angry?"

Aegon leaped forward, shielding Aemon in front of him.

She poked her head out, deliberately trying to annoy people: "It's no use getting angry, who told me to be so outstanding."

Imond's chest heaved violently, and a hint of hatred flickered in his eyes.

He was so angry he wanted to kill someone.

"Hehe, Lady Linman is waiting for you in the High Court."

Aegon withdrew his head and relayed a fawning message to Aemon.

Imon was speechless.

damn it!
This was the first time in his life that someone had ever stood up to protect him.

His gaze swept over Aegon's personal crest on his chest, which was identical to the Green Party's crest from the Dance of the Dragons era.

Your emblem isn't as beautiful as mine.

"Alright, you two can talk about your disagreements when you get back."

Aemon pushed Aegon away; he still had important business to attend to.

This trip back to Oldtown serves two purposes: first, to see Aegon, and second, to put some pressure on the Citadel.

The Church of the Seven Gods will not use it!

The Church of the Seven Gods was already convinced before his marriage to Renilla and Lannar.

Having lost its armed forces for many years, the Church of the Seven Gods has lost its fangs and has become accustomed to being supported.

Unlike Xuecheng, which engages in clandestine and underhanded tactics.

The days passed quickly.

Imon spent several days in the old town, enjoying the scenery and buying some local specialties.

During this time, Lady Jenny Rowan, wife of Earl Donald, visited the Tower of Triumph.

Lady Rowan brought her daughter, Samantha Tali, specifically to see her daughter's potential marriage partner.

Aemon read it.

Samantha is a lively little girl with tanned skin and a somewhat feisty personality.

Skilled in divination and horseback riding.

She and Helena were about the same age and got along well.

However, with Aegon...

Amon shook his head.

On the other hand, Lady Rowan was very satisfied with Aegon.

Don't let Aegon's usual carefree and seemingly unserious demeanor fool you.

In public, his speech and behavior are impeccable.

In particular, he took Lady Luo on a ride on Yangyan, which made his future mother-in-law very happy, and she was reluctant to leave.

Even Imon was afraid that this kid would try to take advantage of Lady Luo Wan.

On the contrary, Imond is more rigid in his dealings with people.

He never smiles at people, just stands there blankly, and can't hold in a fart for ages.

He is not popular with girls.

After Lady Luo Wan's carriage returned to Jiaoling.

Aemon gave Aegon, who was reluctant to leave, a beating, and then led the three siblings to Highgarden.

...

Upon arriving at High Court, all four were stunned.

The High Court has been renovated.

Most of the nobles of the River Bend gathered here, and the inner and outer triple walls housed camps of tens of thousands of people.

"Welcome, Your Highness!!"

"..."

Led by Count Thaddeus, the Reach nobles bowed and greeted him in unison with thunderous shouts.

"Hiss!"

The sheep thief squealed sharply, frightened by the crowd, and hesitated to land.

A thief feels guilty and is afraid of being discovered.

In the past, when sheep theft was discovered, the shepherd and sheepdog would be beaten.

There are a lot of people this time, so there's some risk.

"Behave yourself, you sheep thief!"

Imond shouted and commanded the incorrigible mud dragon to stop its misbehavior.

Both Vomisol and Dreamfire were dragons accustomed to grand scenes, and they landed peacefully in a courtyard filled with grapevines and roses.

"You did this?"

Aemon approached Thaddeus.

"It is I, Your Highness."

Thaddeus straightened his chest and grinned憨态可掬 (endearingly simple-mindedly), "What do you think?"

"..."

Not good to rate.

Aemon turned around, looked around at the Reach nobles who both feared and dreaded him, and gently raised his hand: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"..."

The nobles of the river bend breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your will is the direction we move forward."

Thaddeus raised his head and pounded his chest.

His Highness the Prince has been granted a new title.

New Southern Lighthouse

Aemon glanced at him, and felt a deep admiration for this count who was eager to improve.

He's a character!

The nobles of the Bend were truly loyal, and Imon naturally reciprocated.

They went to both sides and quickly became close friends.

"Hehe~~"

Aegon, watching the commotion, wanted to join in.

The old man Linman ran out and quietly took Aegon away to avoid angering the nobles.

"Helena, you keep Mrs. Sirius company."

"Imon said."

In the blink of an eye, Lady Xirui was gone.

One of them that disappeared was Imond.

"This boy."

"Imon frowned."

He summoned Linman and Thaddeus and asked to see the Duke of Garland.

As soon as the words left her mouth, Lin Man refused.

Since his injury, the Duke of Garland had been depressed and refused to see anyone. Aemon felt a little regretful.

Lin Man dropped a bombshell on him.

Lady Sirius is pregnant!

Imond slightly opened his eyes.

Lin Man clasped her hands together and whispered, "According to the scholar's diagnosis, Lady Xirui is about a month pregnant."

Going back in time, it happened around the time of the death of the old Duke of Tullier.

Imon remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was deeply shocked.

Historically, the old Lord Tyrell should have lived long enough for the Dance of the Dragons to break out, with only an infant boy inheriting his title.

During the Blood Dragon Dance, Lady Xirui remained neutral as regent.

Imon had deduced this.

Garland is a short-lived man; he will die young for various reasons.

Such examples are not uncommon.

Old Tully's son died on the eve of the Dance of the Blood Dragons, and his title was inherited by his grandson.

Never imagined.

Even though Tyrell died young, Lady Sylvie was still able to conceive.

"So magical?"

Imon was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

That's fine too.

If Lady Sirius gives birth to a boy, he will be able to take over the responsibilities of the Duke of Garland.

Highgarden would not fall into the hands of a collateral branch of House Tyrell.

Thinking about it this way, Eamon felt less guilty about giving the River Bend underground trap.

Although I didn't feel much guilt to begin with.

I stayed there for three days in a row.

Aemon and his party decided to leave.

Imond looked listless, as if he was reluctant to leave.

"When we get back to King's Landing, I'm going to have a good drink."

Egon was delighted.

Imond glanced at him, his expression darkening further.

With his appearance, it was hard for Aemon not to notice something amiss.

Helena: "He fell in love with the wrong person."

"Huh?" Imon asked in surprise.

Imond looked up abruptly, his face instantly turning red, whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

Upon seeing this, Imon thought to himself, "Oh no."

"Your Highness, we've come to see you off!"

Thaddeus appeared just in time.

The nobles of the river bend formed a large circle to bid farewell to the four true dragon bloodlines.

Before leaving.

Aemon instructed Thaddeus to keep a close watch on the movements at the Prince's Pass.

Tell him that as well.

"Prepare the carriage, and be ready to enter King's Landing at any time."

……

"Why haven't they returned to King's Landing yet!"

Viserys complained discontentedly at the royal council.

The ministers responded with wry smiles; who could possibly manage a bunch of little devils?

"As you know, Your Majesty."

Corliss leaned back in his chair and joked, "With Prince Aemon leading the team, this result is not surprising."

That guy has been a tyrant since he was a child.

It's normal for a grown-up ancestor to lose contact with three little ancestors, and it's also normal for accidents to happen.

Who needs a handcart!

Viserys retorted angrily, "Is that what I meant? I was worried they'd cause trouble."

A few days ago, he received two letters at the same time.

One of the letters was from Amon.

The story is about the Baker family's involvement in the rebellion, Emond burning Durstonbury, and the proposal to grant the castle to Emond.

He hesitated.

Of the two sons, one will definitely stay in the river bend.

But he couldn't bear to leave anyone behind.

The second letter broke his predicament.

Ulwin Baker's letter expressed sincere repentance and his willingness to offer a castle in exchange for forgiveness.

Isn't this a perfect coincidence?

Viserys, with a stroke of his pen, decided to give Ulwin a chance and granted Durstenbury to Imond.

The letter was sent to Starshuttle City, instructing Ulwin to speak directly to his nephew.

Imon definitely didn't receive it.

Earl Donald received it.

Aemon told him, "You didn't receive it."

Earl Donald did not receive it either.

"With the rebellion quelled in the Reach, the royal family gained another castle; nothing could be better."

Viserys felt a sense of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

Unbeknownst to him, his two beloved sons were about to deliver a devastating blow to his face with two massive bombs.

The King of the Tower and the destruction of the Peck family
“I heard that Damon went to Cohol and bought a batch of high-quality tapestry silk, which can be used to make a new dress for each of the children.”

Alison stood beside her husband, pouring him a drink.

"Helena is a girl, so make two more sets. The brat doesn't need them."

Viserys smiled.

Especially my nephew, he's a complete scoundrel.

Go back to the valley and do it yourself.

A smile appeared on Alison's face.

Her husband had no contact with Eamon, but she did.

Aegon sealed the Tower of Babel, and Aemond sealed Durstonbury.

His elder brother, Garwin, was rewarded for suppressing the rebellion and became the new Earl of Oldtown.

Even Helena benefited from this internal strife.

Viserys had completely forgotten about the arranged marriage with Helena.

It's impossible not to forget.

Viserys' smile was bittersweet.

The daughters secretly rode dragons to escape King's Landing, making their stance very clear.

If we push them any further, who knows what might happen?

With Aegon's marriage settled, the first step in the royal family's expansion was successfully completed.

What are Helena's future plans...? Let's wait and see.

Boom boom boom!
A polite knock was made, and Tai Lan appeared excitedly.

"What good news is there, Lord Tylan?"

Viserys inquired.

Tailan said happily, "The Academy has recommended a new candidate for Grand Scholar, and he is currently outside."

"Oh?"

Viserys straightened up and couldn't help but glance sideways.

The Minister of Justice's seat was empty, and the next seat, occupied by a dozing Grand Secretary, was occupied by Melos.

Hearing what Tailan said.

Melos shuddered, his cloudy old eyes filled with resentment.

"Bring them up."

Kolis turned to look at Tyran and spoke on behalf of the king.

Viserys snapped back to reality.

Tailan nodded vigorously and went out to bring the person over.

Soon, the person in question appeared.

A short, dark-skinned, unremarkable-looking young man with a buzz cut, wearing a gray academic gown.

Ignoring his short stature, everyone's attention was drawn to the young scholar's neck.

Orville, a man of reserved nature, touched the seven chain links on his chest and introduced himself: "It is an honor to meet you, Your Majesty."

“My name is Orville, the newly appointed Grand Secretary recommended by the Cardinals.”
