Chapter 468 Governor of the Province

Almost all evidence from the leads investigated points to Volantis.

Everyone at the high-level military meeting of Pantos suggested a frantic revenge against Volantis, but these were suppressed by Jon Clinton.

He instinctively felt that there was something strange about this matter.

However, hearing what Viserys said at this moment, the expression on Jon Clinton's face changed slightly.

He didn't expect that the enemy actually came from Braavos. The real murderer wanted to bring trouble to the south.

But fortunately, he calmed down at that time and did not take revenge against Volantis for the time being, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

And now listening to His Majesty's words, this matter should have been settled. He gave Braavos a painful lesson, but he just doesn't know what Braavos looks like now.

The grey-red-haired man in a noble costume with the King's Hand Medal on his chest thought silently.

However, at this moment Viserys turned his head to look at Jon Clinton and said.

"Jon, let's talk later."

He didn't explain to Daenerys why Volantis stole the dragon and set Braavos on fire, and Jon looked surprised, then nodded hastily.

"OK."

The Iron Throne was close at hand, but for some reason Viserys was a little distracted, and even vaguely escaped.

That's probably why he didn't hesitate to fly to Braavos on a dragon.

Because he jumped out of this circle and calmed down. From an onlooker's point of view, this throne, made of thousands of swords, was actually worthless.

On the contrary, it brought more disasters. The entanglements surrounding this iron chair have lasted for hundreds of years, bloody, killing, and sinful.

This may be a kind of always working hard for a goal, but when the goal is really close at hand, it produces a sense of confusion.

Simply put, sluts are hypocritical.

However, this did not prevent His Majesty the King from going out for a walk, setting fire to the city by the way, and soothing his inner anxiety.

In the imperial garden of the palace on the top of the nine pagodas, there are some exotic animals, flowers in full bloom, and green grass.

"His Majesty."

Jon Clinton appeared behind Viserys, and he looked at the back of the silver-haired youth with complex eyes and said.

It was inconvenient for the little princess to speak a few words when she was beside her just now, so it was time to say it outside.

The first time Jon saw Viserys was in the city of Pentos. At that time, he was not even an adult, but he had the courage to lead a mere 200 soldiers into the city of all enemies.

Jon Clinton was a member of the city garrison at the time, and he saw Viserys' back from a distance.

But at that time, he could never have imagined that in a few years, this young man would take advantage of this city to take off and break through the predicament he was facing. No one could limit his height since then.

Viserys also gave Jon a pamphlet in his hand.

This is what he wrote down in his spare time in Riverrun after the war.

He had thought about it a lot before, mainly about planning and thinking about the future, but Viserys rarely chose a cautious attitude at this time and consulted the opinions of important ministers.

And Jon took the booklet Viserys handed over and looked at it briefly, but his face changed slightly.

It was all Viserys' own handwriting, recording some of his thoughts, which seemed a bit messy, but it was very clear.

"The centralization and unity of power in the country is the general trend."

Just as many nobles of the Seven Kingdoms were worried, Viserys decided to apply the system he experimented with on Essos to Westeros.

He decided to take advantage of the period of the war of conquest to take drastic action, and remove the pedantic with a quick knife.

And his first knife from top to bottom, decided to cut on the heads of the monarchs of the Seven Kingdoms.

Viserys' tentative plan was to revoke the military title of 'Guardian', deprive all dukes, except Dorne, be demoted to counts, retain their fiefs, and transform them into the position of 'governor'.

From now on only members of the Targaryen royal family can be canonized as dukes.

And except for the Duke of Dragonstone Island, who is the heir, the other dukes only have honor and no real power, and cannot be inherited to future generations.

As for the abolition of the newly established governorship, it is actually a person in power in a domain, but it is not as stable and powerful as it used to be.

The king has the power to remove the governor at any time, appoint another local noble to hold this position, or even parachute a foreign noble to serve as governor.

At the same time, Viserys' plan did not stop there.

His drastic action was even more aggressive than in Andalos, otherwise it wouldn't have made Jon Clinton's expression suddenly change.

In his notes, Viserys planned to restructure the government system in which the nine regions of the Seven Kingdoms were surrendered to the Iron Throne into a 'province' and to abolish the title of the Seven Kingdoms.

And the power of the province is highly concentrated in the hands of the center. Since then, Westeros has only one kingdom, and only one kingdom is allowed.

Due to his outstanding achievements, Dorn is temporarily out of this sequence, and he can still maintain a certain degree of independence. He has the title of "Prince", which is regarded as the existence of a special zone.

A series of dazzling words such as 'deprivation of titles', 'establishing provinces' and 'appointing governors' made Jon Clinton's heart beat faster and his breathing quickened.

It had never occurred to him that Viserys was more radical than he had imagined.

Especially when he saw the sentence, "Proposed to tentatively appoint Jon Clinton to be the Governor of Stormland Province, Lord of Gryphon's Nest", his throat even rolled a little, and he felt a dryness.

"Your Majesty, will this... be a little too fast?"

Even though Jon Clinton had experienced strong winds and waves, he couldn't help but feel a little faster in his heartbeat at this time.

Although the power of the reformed governor was greatly reduced compared to the former Duke of Storm's End, it was also one step at a time, and he became the monarch of the Stormland Province.

Gryphon's Nest is small, but it is also Jon Clinton's home.

And although it is destined to win, the war is not over, and the future ownership of Storm's End is still up in the air. It may be left to the Baratheon family, or it may be completely driven out.

And there are others on this list.

'Bessie Joyce is tentatively proposed as Governor of Pentos'.

'It is tentatively proposed that Geoffrey Bracken is the Governor of the Riverlands Province, Earl of Stonehedge City'.

'Renise Targaryen, Duke of Summerhall. ’

'Dani, Duke of Dragonstone'

Seeing this, Jon Clinton was slightly surprised.

He quickly retracted his eyes, not daring to look any further.
