Chapter 59 The Heir

But Viserys hesitated slightly when he said the last sentence.

"If anything goes wrong."

A little brown-haired girl appeared in the silver-haired boy's mind. It was the Reness Targaryen who always liked to pester him.

Although Renice is still only a child, she can already tell that she is a beautiful embryo, and she will inevitably grow into a stunning beauty that will captivate the Seven Kingdoms in the future.

"Hey! Viserys!"

And now Reness's heart-melting smile flashed across Viserys' mind.

Because of the close age difference, or for other reasons, Renice didn't like to call him by seniority.

On the contrary, I always like my elder brother. My elder brother keeps calling, or just calls him by his name.

And then right after. The swaddled baby girl appeared again in Viserys' mind.

Daenerys Targaryen.

When the brother and sister first met, Viserys held Daenerys's little hand lightly, and could feel a strong sense of closeness to the source of the blood, which could never be separated.

"This"

Once again, Viserys hesitated, unable to make an immediate decision.

And the old man knew that this decision was very meaningful, so he didn't speak to disturb Viserys.

The boy was silent for a long time in the end, but he still made a choice, raised his head again and said in a serious tone.

"If anything happens to me."

"I also ask Lord Geoffrey to continue to assist my sister, Daenerys Targaryen, to ascend the Iron Throne."

No one knew what Viserys was thinking in that moment of silence.

Why is this decision made and what is the basis for doing so

What Viserys said now means a lot, and it means that he has designated a future heir.

That was his sister Daenerys Targaryen.

Even though Viserys is only eight years old, he is in a position where no one in this Game of Thrones will show mercy to him just because he is just a child.

Just as the king sitting on the Iron Throne of King's Landing had already started to do whatever it takes to get rid of him, Viserys needs to be careful and work hard to survive even if he stays in Dragonstone.

So Viserys had to make this decision early, even if it sounded a bit cruel, like explaining his own affairs in advance.

"Did you choose the smaller one?"

Sir Geoffrey was slightly surprised to hear Viserys' decision.

Princess Daenerys is really too young, she is just a swaddling baby, and she has no mother yet, and she doesn't even know if she will die.

Nor did he expect Viserys to choose this younger girl.

In the old sergeant's view, Viserys and Princess Rhaenys had a much closer relationship.

The two children are not only in age, but also very compatible in personality.

Viserys sometimes seems to be overwhelmed with sorrow for some things, but when he sees Renice, he will try to smile, even if the smile is a little unattractive.

but.

Daenerys is his sister after all, and the blood of House Targaryen is purer.

It is understandable that Viserys would make such a decision. After all, Reness has half of the blood of Dorne, and the blood of Targaryen is not pure.

"I understand."

Sir Geoffrey finally nodded, understanding Viserys' will, and he appointed Daenerys as his heir.

If Viserys had an accident on this trip to Braavos, the baby girl Daenerys would be the new Lord of Dragonstone.

"Then it's decided."

Now that the decision has been made, Viserys did not hesitate any longer.

He greeted the guards outside to come in, and then brought back the two Braavos envoys who had just been arranged to rest.

In fact, the mayor and the chief swordsman did not go very far. They were arranged to rest temporarily in a small room outside the main hall, waiting for Viserys and his 'grand ministers' to complete the negotiation.

They thought it might take a long time to discuss this matter.

And I don't have much expectations for Viserys to agree to Lord Aquaman's invitation.

After all, the head of the Targaryen family is only an eight-year-old boy, perhaps the age of crying when he falls.

If Queen Layla were still alive and sane, she might have agreed to the invitation and went to Braavos.

However, now that the queen has been upgraded to the queen mother, and has been buried in the earth, it really made them have some surprises.

However, I didn't expect that the butt of the small house sitting next to me just now didn't get hot, and there was news from the other side.

…

The two messengers hurried back.

Viserys sat on the throne of the hall, and the small body on the big throne seemed to have a strong sense of disobedience.

The boy wore a crown made of pure gold on his head, and in the middle was the ruby ​​that looked like a flame, and his hands were on the armrests of the throne.

Then the little king told them in a clear and calm voice that he agreed to Braavos Sea King's invitation, and would set off in person soon to go to Braavos to meet Sea King.

The boy's voice echoed in the silent hall.

The two Braavos envoys standing below looked at each other, and they both saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.

They didn't expect that this child would actually have the courage to agree to go with them to an unfamiliar city thousands of miles away.

However, after Viserys finished speaking, Sir Geoffrey stood up at the same time and demanded that Braavos respect the ancient traditional "guest rights" in Westeros, and the safety of the little King Viserys must be guaranteed.

Guest rights are a traditional rule that the seven kingdoms of Westeros abide by, that is, whether a commoner or a noble, when a guest comes to be a guest under the host's roof and accepts the bread and salt provided by the host, the guest's right will take effect.

During the following guest period, neither party shall harm the other. Violators would violate divine laws and were believed to be intolerant of the gods, old and new. This is true of both the Old Gods and the Seven Gods.

"Of course, Your Majesty."

"The Seven and Old Gods of the Seven Kingdoms also have temples on the Isle of Gods in Braavos."

As the main envoy of Braavos, Kleon gave a slight salute again, and then swore a promise.

"Braavos is the most observant of credibility because it's as important as our lives."

"Since we have invited you, we will definitely protect your safety throughout the entire process, from the moment you leave Dragonstone Island until you return here safely."
