After hearing this, Tyrion felt uneasy and replied slowly: “Your Majesty, I am different from you. You are a dragon rider who can ride a dragon here. It took me two months to reach Lys, and I have only just learned a little about the situation here.”
Gavin nodded slightly and said calmly: “It’s okay, I just asked casually. As long as you manage Lys with your heart and achieve significant results, I can remove your acting position.”
After hearing this, Tyrion looked bitter and said hurriedly: “Your Majesty, don’t worry, I will do my best. But after I help you manage Lys, can you let me return to Westeros?”
After hearing this, Gavin’s eyes flashed and he said coldly: “I’m afraid not. Lys alone is not enough to make up for the Lannister family. The crime committed. Tyrion, are you still fantasizing about going back to inherit your father’s Casterly Rock? You know better than me how you came to Dragonstone. You are a smart man, and you should be able to guess what Tywin thinks of you. As long as he is here, you will never inherit Casterly Rock. ”
Tyrion gritted his teeth and retorted unwillingly: “But Jaime has sworn to become a white knight, and I am his only heir. ”
Gavin shook his head and said in a flat tone: “You have never been his heir. His only heir is your brother Jaime. As for the oath, it is not worth mentioning. Jaime once swore to protect the Mad King-Aerys, but he not only broke his oath, but also won the title of “King Slayer”. ”
Tyrion was speechless for a while, he knew that Gavin was right.
In Tywin’s eyes, his brother has always been the heir, and he is just the shame of his father, a shame that he can’t wait to erase.
But he was a little unwilling in his heart. After Jaime swore to become a Kingsguard, he should inherit everything.
Gavin looked at Tyrion who fell into silence and planned to make him sober up completely. After all, the little devil is a rare talent, and indulging in the extravagant hope of returning home every day will also affect his work.
Gavin continued: “Tyrion, I’ll make a bet with you. It won’t be long before Joffrey will remove Jaime’s identity as a Kingsguard, and then Jaime will be re-appointed as an heir by your father. As for you, you will be charged with treason. If this doesn’t happen within a year, you win the bet and I will let you go.”
Listening to this bet, Tyrion finally didn’t respond.
He was not sure of winning at all. He knew clearly that everything would happen as Gavin said.
He still had a certain understanding of his family. His only hope was that Jaime would refuse the inheritance, but he knew that relying on Jaime alone might not be sure, and Cersei alone could force Jaime to change his mind.
Gavin did not continue to be aggressive, but walked forward, gently patted Tyrion on the shoulder, and comforted him: “My words are valid for a long time, and you should consider your own family’s affairs. At least now you have come to Lys, don’t think about the future for the time being. I heard that you are doing well in Lys?”
Tyrion restrained his emotions after hearing this, and hurriedly said: “Your Majesty, I have spent all the gold dragons I brought when I set out. You have to understand that the brothels in Lys are world-famous, and I think I should be paid for my service to you.”
Gavin was happy after hearing this. Tyrion is still very loyal to his feelings, but when he has no feelings, his biggest hobby is to find comfort in brothels.
So Gavin generously promised: “Of course there will be rewards. All your consumption in Lys will be paid by the Governor’s Mansion in the future, and you will be paid 200 gold dragons every month as a reward.”
Tyrion used to be very short of money. Because of his generosity, whenever he rewarded others, the other party would be grateful. Now, Tyrion has experienced the feeling of being funded, which is indeed more comfortable.
So he responded respectfully: “Thank you for your generosity.”
After hearing this, Gavin nodded slightly, his expression indifferent, and then he ignored Tyrion.
He slowly turned his gaze to Jorah, waved his hand gently, and motioned everyone to enter the Governor’s Mansion.
Everyone walked forward, and Gavin asked as he walked: “How are the arrangements for going to Slaver’s Bay?”
Jorah looked respectful and immediately replied: “Your Majesty, a large armed merchant ship flying the flag of the Qarth Chamber of Commerce has been prepared. The merchant ship is endorsed by the Bronze King of Qarth. I have selected 30 good players from the mercenaries for you. They are not only proficient in swordsmanship, but also know how to operate the ship. They are absolutely reliable in terms of loyalty.”
Gavin nodded slightly and continued to ask: “Have all the golden dragons been delivered to the ship?”
“Your Majesty, 300,000 golden dragons have been prepared and all have been shipped. I have arranged two hundred teams to guard day and night to ensure that nothing goes wrong.” Jorah replied.
As they talked, a group of people walked into the hall, and saw a burly mercenary standing in the hall. He was wearing a fine leather armor, and the lines on the leather armor were delicate and exquisite, as if telling the vicissitudes of its owner.
A scimitar was hung on his waist, and the scabbard was inlaid with gems, shining with mysterious light under the light.
There was a thin scar on his forehead, which was like a winding little snake, adding a bit of ferocity to him.
The calluses on his knuckles were covered with calluses, which were like medals of time, showing his experience and skill in using a knife. Seeing Gavin coming in, the mercenary immediately bowed to show his respect.
Jorah stepped forward and introduced: “Your Majesty, his name is ‘Scar’ Kairos, the captain of the mercenaries leading this team. He is experienced and served as a centurion in the Windblown. After leaving the Windblown, he fought in various places in Essos and served as a captain for a period of time. He traveled between Lys and Slaver’s Bay for a long time and knew this sea area very well.”
Gavin looked at the burly Kairos quietly, with satisfaction in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said: “Kailos, Jorah told you the purpose of this trip, didn’t he?”
Kailos bowed again and replied respectfully: “Yes, Your Majesty. Lord Jorah has Tell me the details in detail. I am honored to serve your Majesty. ”
Gavin nodded and said seriously: “Then the captain’s position for this voyage will be handed over to you. If you do a good job, I will pay you double the commission.”
Kailos was very excited when he heard this, and his eyes flashed with excitement. He said: “Praise you! You are such a generous monarch. Please rest assured, your majesty, Kairos will not let you down.”
Gavin waved his hand and said: “Okay, go down and prepare, we will set off early tomorrow morning.”
“As you command, your majesty.” Kairos bowed again and then retreated.
