Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 44: Why Not Kneel When Meeting the Prince?

At noon, the sun is shining brightly.

Yimon walked out of the attic and went to find his mother to report on his work.

Inside the spacious hall, a man was filled with indignation.

Jero Royce, a middle-aged man with a white beard, wore bronze armor with leather underlay.

Judging from his appearance, he is just a stubborn old antique.

"Madam Leia, do you really want that child to inherit Runestone City?"

Jello's face was full of disbelief, as if the sky had fallen.

Madam Leia sat on a chair, carefully wiping a long sword of ancient shape, and said casually: "Cousin, he is my son."

"He's also that man's son!"

Gerald was excited and said indignantly: "Your husband returned from the Stepstones and flew to Dragonstone to live in seclusion. He didn't take you and the Royce family seriously at all."

Lady Rhea's expression turned cold: "I don't need an unworthy husband, but Aemon is still my son and heir!"

She would be happy to hear that the man had suddenly died one day.

Whether it's getting into trouble and being attacked, or dying of exhaustion on a prostitute's belly.

But she would never allow the slander against her son to spread.

Jello was startled and said unwillingly: "You have a better choice."

"Who?"

Madam Leia sneered and asked, "Is it your cousin or my unmarried cousin?"

"This……"

Jello was suddenly speechless and stammered, unable to explain himself.

When Uncle Jobert was choosing his successor, there were several candidates among his direct cousins.

He is the oldest and a male.

But Uncle Jobert passed over everyone else, including him, and chose his cousin, Lady Rhea, who had been extremely smart since childhood.

It turns out that Lady Rhea is indeed no less capable than men.

Seeing that he was slow to answer, Madam Leia lost interest in the conversation and said disappointedly, "Go back, cousin."

"But."

Jello was eager to say something.

Madam Leia waved her hand and said directly: "Tell the others to put an end to any thoughts that should not be had. I will not give in even an inch."

The sharp words will break all small calculations.

When Jello heard this, his heart sank instantly.

He has many people behind him who oppose the Targaryen children inheriting Runestone City.

But his cousin was determined, which put him in a dilemma.

at this time.

"Mom!"

Aemon walked in through the door with a smile on his face.

Two people in the hall came over after hearing the sound.

Jello was delighted and hope was rekindled.

Madam Leia glanced at her cousin and frowned secretly.

The protruding peg rots first.

What conditions did that group of people put forward to make him willing to be the first to take action?
"You guys are chatting?"

Aemon asked knowingly, taking a closer look at this cousin.

Jello tried to maintain his composure and nodded perfunctorily as a gesture of greeting.

The corners of Aemon's mouth curled up slightly, and he thought to himself that there were really blind fools.

With this kind of attitude, he still has to consider the person's behavior.

"If you're not in the attic for class, what are you doing here?"

Mrs. Rhea paused and glanced at the two grown men behind her son.

Sir Steve nodded and saluted, but Gunthor continued to do his own thing.

Aemon was about to answer.

Madam Leia didn't want to listen, and looked at the annoying smelly man again, and said unhappily: "Cousin, you should go back."

She could solve the problem without her son knowing.

Gerald obviously didn't give up, and hurriedly asked: "If you really want a Targaryen to inherit Runestone City, what about the Royce family name?"

"I am the Earl of Runestone City. It is not your turn to worry about it."

Lady Rhea was not polite at all.

Jello retorted, "I am also a member of Runestone City and I have the right to worry about my family."

As he spoke, he suddenly pointed to Aemon who was standing beside him.

"You are the child's mother. Who knows if you will act on impulse and destroy the family business?"

Madam Leia's face instantly turned cold, as if frost was about to form.

Jello was blinded by profit and spoke without restraint.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Queen Alysanne had arranged a marriage between her grandson Daemon and Lady Rhea in order to win over the Royce family. But Uncle Jobert was like a possessed person, and he actually gave Runestone City to Lady Rhea afterwards.

Lady Rhea became a countess, and her child would be the next heir to Runestone City.

In this way, the Targaryens could easily steal the inheritance of Runestone City.

It's like eating up the entire family!

"I object……"

Jello became more and more excited as he spoke.

Aemon couldn't bear to listen any longer and interrupted, "Ser Gerold, may I ask what position you are on to say these words?"

He couldn't play dumb and let others question his mother.

He has to fight for his own rights.

Jello was stunned for a moment, and said bluntly: "Just because my last name is Royce."

Imon looked him straight in the eye and asked, "Before I came in, I heard you mention my father. May I ask if my father has ever offended you or done anything bad to harm the Royce family?"

Jello opened his mouth to speak, but stopped himself.

Thinking about it carefully, with Damon's arrogant personality, he never even looked at him and rarely stayed overnight in Fu Shi City.

The worst thing he did was probably insulting his cousin, Lady Rhea, as a "bronze bitch".

Aemon continued: "May I ask again, as my mother's son, do I have half the blood of the Royce family flowing in my body?"

Jello couldn't deny it: "Of course."

“Oh, that means my father has never offended you, nor has he done anything to harm the Royce family. I am also a member of the Royce family.”

Yimon spoke very quickly, his eyes were cold.

Swish!
He drew out the bronze dagger from his waist and pressed it against the man's waist: "My inheritance right comes from my mother, and the king has acknowledged it. What right do you have to slander me?"

Jello was horrified, took a step back, and spoke his mind:
"You are a Targaryen. If you inherit Runestone City, you will be usurping the throne."

boom!
The door to the hall opened and a figure hurried in.

William was sweating profusely, and he took credit for it: "Prince, the craftsmen rushed to make it, please take a look."

Without even raising his head, Eamon stared at Jello's sweaty face and said to himself, "It's a good idea. Right here, open it!"

"Yes."

William sensed the situation was delicate and with a tremble of his hand he unfolded the rolled-up flag.

Whooped.

A shield-shaped inverted triangle flag appeared.

The flag is divided into two in the middle, with the left and right sides clearly distinguished.

The left side is a dark orange background with two white stripes in the middle, with black runes arranged on the stripes.

Black pebbles are neatly arranged between the two rune belts.

It was slightly modified according to the flag of the Royce family, making it both neat and elegant.

The right side is relatively simple.

On a pure black background, there is a lifelike three-headed red dragon in the middle.

The rune pebbles and the three-headed red dragon are opposite each other on the left and right.

The orange background complements the three-headed red dragon, and the black and white runes echo the black background.

It is neither ostentatious nor tonal.

This flag shows its majesty.

The moment they saw the flag, both Lady Rhea and Jello's pupils suddenly shrank.

The two-branch flag represents the union of two families.

"give it to me!"

Even the usually thick-skinned Gunthor saw the hidden meaning and snatched the half-point flag and placed it in front of Lady Rhea.

Madam Leia took a deep breath and looked at Jello, whose face was pale: "Cousin, do you have anything else to say?"

Jello stood there in a daze.

"You have nothing to say, but I do."

Aemon seized on the mistake: "Do you know what crime you committed by talking nonsense before?"

Jello woke up instantly, with cold sweat on his forehead: "Prince, I..."

"You still know that I am a prince?"

Imon tilted his head.

Jello's lips moved but he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Aemon suddenly smiled and said, "For the sake of this flag, I can forgive you."

Jello's heart sank and he had a bad feeling.

For a moment, he seemed to see the shadow of the dissolute prince who stole his love.

"but!"

Aemon changed the subject and took a step forward with his sword in hand: "Now that you are meeting the prince, why don't you kneel?"

　No more watering, try to control the plot.

　　Speed ​​up to Daemon's appearance and the prelude to dragon taming.
