Chapter 961

The second battle below began, and in the VIP seats filled with imperial nobles, Littlefinger had just lost a hundred golden dragons.

A newly minted golden dragon in the empire is very valuable, and for many people in the empire, it takes a few months or even half a year to earn it.

But Lord Petyr Baelish didn't change his face even after losing a hundred golden dragons. He looked at the second battle below, shook his head and said.

"Although I don't understand the battle of the knights, I have heard of the name of the Dawn Excalibur, Your Highness."

"It is said that the Dane family has a set of judging rules. If the heir fails to meet this standard, he is not qualified to pick up Dawn and claim to be a new generation of Dawn Sword."

Petyr tapped the handrail with his fingers, looking at the battle below and said.

"This rule of the Dane family is to prevent someone from falling into the name of the Dawn Excalibur in the descendants."

"So since this young man is qualified to pick up Dawn, there must be no doubt about his strength."

"Has your Highness ever thought about recruiting the Dawn Sword by your side?"

Petyr Baelish's reminder caused the young prince's expression to move slightly.

He didn't have such an idea before. After all, he lives in the Red Fort now, and he doesn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation. The servants and guards in the palace come and leave when they are called, so he has never planned to recruit staff.

But now it seems that I may really need to form a team and recruit some useful people.

However, he is still only the prince of the Targaryen family. Although he seems to have a high status, there is a mighty motorcade to follow wherever he goes, but the embarrassing fact is that the prince and princess of the Targaryen family have no real power.

Can Heros command the capital defense team now?

If you just catch a thief or something, it's okay, but if you want to mobilize the army, you can't pass the level of Sir 'Blackfish' Brynden. Others will fear the power of the emperor of the empire, but the commander-in-chief of the capital defense team is the most important position in the empire. As an important minister of the Imperial Council, it was a bit difficult for Heros to sell his face to the other party.

However, Sir Heiyu is also an old river and lake. Of course, he will not directly and forcefully refute His Royal Highness's face, but will tactfully ask Heros to take out the imperial edict of his mother, Queen Renes.

And this is a little embarrassing, going around Heros or asking for help to his mother.

Although he seems to be the heir to the empire, before he ascended the Iron Throne to rule the empire, Helos actually didn't even have the power of a small county.

Therefore, when Petyr Baelish, the governor of the valley, mentioned it from the side, the eldest son of the emperor, who was born intelligent, immediately made inferences.

He wondered if he could honor his mother if he had the opportunity, and then ask for a fief to run it himself?

However, it is a pity that Queen Renis, the biological mother of Helos, is a person who is not very nostalgic for power, and she does not often take care of state affairs on weekdays, except for major events that require her to nod.

And with his mother's character, the brown-haired boy thought that she might not agree to his request. Of course, if he was soft and hard, he might have a chance.

"Only half a month later is Queen Arianne's birthday"

Heros Targaryen turned his head to look at the throne and frowned slightly.

He thought of starting with gifts, carefully preparing a gift that his mother could be pleased with, and then making a request for a fief, which might be successful.

But he still had to ask Diana for help in this matter. After all, Queen Arianne was his sister's biological mother, and then he turned to Diana's side.

Then I saw that my sister was playing a game with her younger brother, Eamon. Eamon was bounced several times, and his face was full of grievances.

…

On the other hand, Petyr Baelish saw that he briefly mentioned a few words, and the little prince seemed to be enlightened.

An elusive smile appeared on his face.

As the premier conspiracy master in the empire, it is difficult for anyone other than himself to guess what Littlefinger is thinking.

But what is surprising is that everyone thought that under the guidance of this kind adoptive father, Robert Arryn, who would soon die for unknown reasons, has actually lived to this day, and Successfully inherited the Eagle's Nest City.

Lysa, the virtuous wife of the Governor of the Valley, was less fortunate, and died in childbirth while giving birth to a baby boy for Petyr Baelish.

The governor of the valley buried his wife in grief and vowed never to marry, and then named his only son Robin, after Robert Arryn, Earl of the Eyrie.

Later, there were some vague rumors in the valley. Some people claimed that Mrs. Lysa had already lost the ability to reproduce because of five miscarriages.

Mrs. Lysa was actually killed by Littlefinger, and then he took an illegitimate child from nowhere, claiming that it was the reason for his wife's dystocia, and naturally inherited the Petyr family name.

However, this rumor is a rumor after all, and there is no actual evidence. Even the boy from the Earl of Eagle's Nest City, who has a very severe epilepsy, did not believe it, so it soon dissipated.

However, at this moment, the battle below was already divided.

Edric Dayne defeated his uncle, Earl of Black Harbor, Beric Dondarrion, without incident.

Then, in the wave of cheers and cheers from the audience, the players who had not yet appeared in the next stage also appeared one after another, completing the competition.

Wielding the Stormhammer left by his father Robert Baratheon, Gendry defeated Deacon Tully, the second son of former Reach commander Randall Tully.

And "Little Wolf Girl" Arya Stark and "Giant Prince" Artis also defeated their opponents respectively.

The Giant Prince is still the same routine as before. Although he doesn't have the feeling of unparalleled mowing in the team competition, and his opponent is not an easy-going person, he still uses his strength to win and knock down his opponent.

On the other hand, Arya spent a lot more effort. She met a player who was also a power type, and finally relied on her flexible body to constantly deal with it, and then she won with difficulty.

Then all the victorious knights went a step further and began to contest.

Gendry was unlucky to meet the giant prince Artis, who was also a power player, but he encountered an unreasonable species like a giant, so he lost regretfully.

Dawn Excalibur Edric Dane met the female knight Brienne Tas, and the female knight's advanced path came to the end. Her swordsmanship was full of loopholes in the eyes of the little juggernaut, and it was easy to advance.

The little wolf girl Arya had a lucky bye and won the first two rounds in the stands. However, Bran, who was eliminated early in the third round, cheered for his sister, and Mrs. Caitlin was in a cold sweat.

But in the end, Arya's luck came to an end. In the end, among the three, Edric Dayne took a bye, and Arya met the giant prince who was tall.

It stands to reason that she should have a certain advantage in flexibility. However, the giant prince has lived with Heros in the human court since he was a child, and practiced human fighting methods. Therefore, Artis is a powerful and flexible player. .

Arya didn't take advantage of it, and regrettably lost and was eliminated from the tournament.

And the final decisive battle is the battle between Edric Dayne, the Sword of Dawn, and Artis, the Prince of Giants.
