Chapter 55

However, Viserys did not rush to speak while sitting on the icy throne.

The flame-like ruby ​​on the boy's crown reflected light slightly, and a pair of lavender eyes still looked at the two people standing below.

The atmosphere in the hall was slightly quiet.

The Dragonstone guards on both sides clenched their spears tightly, and their eyes locked on the two who stood in the hall claiming to be Braavos' messengers. As long as Viserys gave an order, they could swarm up and take this place. Two people took it on the spot.

In their view, since they are messengers, they will definitely wear gorgeous clothes, not like the two people in front of them.

One is a monotonous and ordinary taupe, while the other is dressed like an assassin in black and a cloak, with a thin and small toy like a 'women's long sword' pinned to his waist.

This particular weapon did not seem practical to the soldiers of Westeros.

And in the center of the hall.

The two people who were watched by everyone looked very calm. The messenger in the taupe robe had a calm expression, his eyes were still looking at Viserys, and the warrior behind him had a hand on the hilt of the sword.

The atmosphere in the hall froze.

Viserys didn't speak. He was observing the two people, and he was also trying to figure out the identity of each other, hoping to see any flaws.

Not too long had passed, but the messenger from Braavos was the first to lose. He didn't know why he felt that when he looked at this little king who had lost the Iron Throne and was in exile. pressure.

He was obviously only an eight-year-old child.

"His Majesty."

The middle-aged man in a taupe robe couldn't help but bowed slightly to salute again, and took the initiative to speak.

"I am from Braavos, and have been ordered by Lord Sea King to make a special trip to meet His Majesty and hand over a handwritten letter from Lord Sea King."

The Braavos messenger's accent, including the words, was slightly weird, which made everyone present a little uncomfortable.

However, Viserys seemed very calm, looking at each other with piercing eyes.

"A handwritten letter?"

He heard that this person was going to hand over a handwritten letter from Braavos Sea King, which made him slightly believe the identity of the other party, but he still needed to read the letter before he could judge.

However, right now he still has something to say, so he is not in a hurry to read this handwritten letter.

Viserys sat on the throne, stroking the cold armrest with one hand, then leaned forward slightly to adjust his sitting position, the crown above his head reflected light in the sun, and then spoke.

"The messenger can speak Valyrian directly."

"I understand."

He knew that although Braavos was not once a member of the Valyrian Freehold, it was indeed a city-state founded by refugees who fled Valyrian enslavement about five hundred years before Aegon's landing, so Their native language is also Valyrian.

As the heir of the Targaryen family, Viserys is naturally familiar with Valyrian, so there is no need to speak the common language of Westeros between the two sides as a "common".

And the common language of the messenger from Braavos was really hard to speak, which made Viserys a little uncomfortable to listen to.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm rude."

And the emissary of Braavos was surprised and delighted when he heard that Viserys could speak in the proficient Valyrian language.

The good thing is that he doesn't need to speak in the obscure Common Tongue of Westeros anymore.

To his surprise, he didn't know if Viserys had heard him when he was whispering with the swordsman beside him.

Otherwise, it is very likely that he will be dragged out and executed, and even if it is passed back to Sea King, he will take the blame for himself.

He thought that the Targaryens had been almost three hundred years since they conquered Westeros, and they had already abandoned Valyrian and replaced it with the common language of Westeros. After all, even Aegon I was conquering After the war, they all converted to the Seven Gods.

However, the fact is that this messenger has not come into contact with members of the Targaryen family, and is a little ignorant. Targaryen has not given up the Valyrian language.

However, Viserys did not hear what he had just muttered under the scorpion. After all, the throne was so far below, and his ears were not downwind.

The boy looked at the two messengers and continued to speak.

"Two...Tell me your names."

Hearing Viserys' words, the lead messenger in the taupe robe slightly corrected his color and saluted again.

"Your Majesty, my name is Cleon Meissner, and I'm a mayor of Braavos."

The mayor is mainly responsible for conveying the decrees of Sea King Braavos to manage the city, and can be regarded as Sea King's assistants in governance policies.

Then the messenger named Kleon turned around and introduced the swordsman beside him.

"His name is Syrio Forrel, he is the personal guard of Lord Sea King and the chief swordsman of Braavos."

The black-robed swordsman standing behind Kleon also bowed slightly after the other party introduced him, and spoke for the first time.

"His Majesty."

And Viserys felt a little familiar when he heard the name of the swordsman in black.

"Cirion Freer?"

He always felt that he had heard this name somewhere, but it seemed that he couldn't remember it for a while.

And Sir Geoffrey, who was sitting next to him, thought that Viserys didn't know what the title of Chief Swordsman was, so he whispered again in his ear.

"Your Majesty, I have heard this man's name."

"Sirion Freer, as the chief swordsman of Braavos, can be considered the best swordsman in Braavos at the moment."

"These people...they have extraordinary insight, and keeping Aquaman safe is their greatest duty."

Viserys tilted his head and nodded slightly after listening. In fact, he didn't need the old sergeant to remind him. He seemed to remember a little who this person was.

And at this time.

Kleon below touched it from his arms, then took out a letter and held it in his palms, looking respectful, and said again.

"This is a handwritten letter from Lord Sea King to His Majesty."

A guard standing on the side of the main hall stepped forward, took the letter from the messenger, and checked that it was not poisoned or any other hands and feet were touched, and then came Next to the throne above the steps, it was handed to Viserys.

And Viserys reached out and took the handwritten letter from Aquaman Braavos from the guard's hand.

In fact, he was also a little curious, what did this sea king, whose well water does not violate the river water, want to say to himself.

Then the boy tore the letter in his hand.
