Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep - Chapter 215
c213 I’m also half an idealist
Night.
After Daenerys coaxed Alexander and Elizabeth to sleep, she came to Jack’s room.
After the beating during the day, Daenerys coaxed Alexander for a long time before he fell asleep.
Daenerys took off her pajamas and slid into Jack’s bed.
Feeling the tender skin in his arms, Jack helped Daenerys’s little hand to adjust its position, and then said:
“I have something to tell you.”
Daenerys’s little hand kept drawing circles, and she looked up at Jack.
“What’s the matter? So serious?”
“Alexander can’t continue to be free like this. He is much smarter than his peers. Excessive pampering will only harm him. I plan to take him to Westeros to study, and so will Elizabeth.”
Daenerys asked curiously: “Why take him to Westeros? You can teach him here.
And you don’t have to go there in person. Anyway, Clark can fly across the strait in less than a day.”
“Such teaching is ultimately just talk. The situation in Westeros is complicated, so it is convenient for me to teach him how to be a benevolent emperor.”
The situation in Essos is very simple, that is, the city-state system, but it is different in Westeros.
The nine major families fought openly and secretly, and fought bloody for the Iron Throne.
Alexander was born on the prosperous Sea King Island and has never seen the outside world. If Jack passed the throne to him, I was really worried that he would say “Why not eat meat?”
So it doesn’t hurt to see how cruel the outside world is.
“Well, it’s up to you to decide. I support your choice. After all, your subordinates say that you are the greatest king in the history of the world.”
“Hahaha, it’s just standing on the shoulders of giants. I am also half an idealist.”
Jack is indeed half an idealist. He wants to build a utopia where everyone is happy.
But at the same time, he also knows that this is impossible to achieve.
Because where there are people, there are struggles. The only lesson that humans have learned from history is that humans will not learn any lessons from history.
So Jack can only make a good start as much as possible.
Daenerys smiled and said, “You don’t have to be modest. I will take Elizabeth to Westeros with me when the time comes.” After that, Dany shrank into the quilt.
——————————
Westeros, King’s Landing, Red Castle.
The sun rises, and a ray of heat fills the air.
But this heat is a bit dwarfed by the atmosphere of the arena.
The reason is that today is the day of trial by combat.
Prince Oberyn from Dorne threatened to get some interest back for his sister first.
At this time, the nobles of King’s Landing no longer cared about Tyrion’s life or death, he was just a damn dwarf.
They are more concerned about the “love and hate” between the Lannister family and the Martell family.
Elia died tragically at the hands of the Mountain. If they said that there was no instruction from Tywin, they would not believe it.
As for the Martell family, they would not believe it even more.
Especially last year, the Martell family and the emerging dragon family Poseidon talked about something, and finally took Princess Myrcella away.
The relationship between the two families is very tense now, but no one dares to move.
They really want to know if this will be the opportunity for the two families to completely tear each other apart.
Isn’t this melon much more delicious than Tyrion’s?
Who cares if Joffrey dies? It’s the same who becomes king. They need to rely on these nobles to rule the country?
“You still have a chance to give up Tyrion, otherwise the Mountain will chop off your head.”
Oberyn looked at the proud Cersei. He didn’t understand why Tywin had such a stupid daughter.
Although Jaime was not smart, he was definitely not as stupid as Cersei. As for Tyrion, let alone, he was much smarter than Cersei.
“Queen Mother Cersei, I don’t think you need to worry about this. The Mountain is like a stupid bear, and I am a poisonous snake. As long as I bite him, he will die.”
Oberyn was very confident. He was a master of poison.
For this competition, he specially prepared a poison. As long as he was stabbed, he would gradually lose consciousness and become paralyzed.
The reason why he didn’t use the poison that would kill the poisoned person in a few seconds was that he wanted the Mountain to tell him who instructed him to kill Elia.
Oberyn was too lazy to talk nonsense with Cersei. He pushed Cersei away and walked towards the direction of his entrance.
Cersei looked at Oberyn’s figure, her eyes full of resentment. Anyone who stood in her way of seeking justice for her son would die!
After Oberyn arrived at the entrance, his mistress and Tyrion were there.
Oberyn poured a glass of wine and drank it all.
“Do you really want to fight that monster?” His mistress looked worried. The Mountain in the field was two meters and four meters tall, wearing armor, and was very intimidating.
“It’s just a scary big guy. Are you still not confident about my strength?” Oberyn smiled confidently.
Oberyn and his mistress kissed affectionately, and the mistress said worriedly: “Don’t leave me alone.”
“Never!”
At this time, Tyrion couldn’t help but say: “I think you can drink less. The Mountain is the strongest knight in Westeros.”
Seeing Oberyn drink three glasses of wine, Tyrion became more nervous. After all, this was a battle that determined his life and death.
“He will not be!”
Oberyn finished speaking and walked quickly to the arena, waving a two-meter-long spear in his hand like a juggler.
Tyrion glanced at Tywin, who was on the platform in the middle. At this time, Tywin looked calm, as if he didn’t care about the outcome of the trial by combat.
Taking a deep breath, Tyrion kept praying that Oberyn must win.
If Oberyn loses, Cersei will never let him go!
