Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

"The loyalty of the Darry family does not need to be expressed in words, my lord." Ian lowered his head slightly, showing resolute and respectful expression. "My three uncles died in the Battle of the Trident. They were Prince Rhaegar. The fight went down to the last minute.”

"My other uncle William is protecting you and your sister," Ian said here, turning to look at Danni who had stopped crying, and the latter gave him a grateful smile, "protecting you. All the way to Braavos.”

"Not long ago, my father heard the news that you were about to obtain a large army to counterattack Westeros. He immediately wanted to summon an army to join you," Ian said, suddenly burst into tears,

"It's a pity that we were betrayed by traitors. Two of my brothers died in the battle, my younger brother was murdered, and my father was also executed by the usurper for treason because the news was leaked. I am the only one left in our family."

"Loyalty is something engraved in our bones and flesh, Your Majesty." Ian said, drawing out his long sword and kneeling on the ground. "I, Ian Rivers, as the last blood descendant of the Darry family, in I offer you my loyalty."

Ian's 'revelation of true feelings' immediately attracted applause from the onlookers.

For these upper-class nobles, no matter which camp they come from, loyalty is always a praiseworthy quality.

Ian's story is so touching, spanning more than ten years and two generations. All of Lord Raymond Darry's brothers and sons died for their loyalty, and his last son has knelt before the last Targaryen king, ready to follow his father and brother.

Full of loyalty!

What superior person wouldn't want his subordinates to be all people like the Darry family?

After hearing what Ian said, even a cold-blooded person like Viserys could not help but feel a little dazed for a moment. He couldn't even help but wonder, was the price of the Darry family's loyalty too heavy?

Then, Viserys glanced at the onlookers around him, and suddenly, a real feeling of being a king came to his heart.

When was the last time that he was so focused on?

never

The person who attracted all the attention was Rhaegar, and I was not even qualified to be his shadow.

If I had to say it, maybe it was the only time I was crowned on Dragonstone. Unfortunately, only a few courtiers attended.

"His Majesty?"

As Ian reminded him aloud, Viserys came back from his daze, "Ian Rivers," he muttered in a low voice, and then blurted out as if he had reacted, "You are an illegitimate child. ?”

Ian resisted the urge to cover his face. He simply couldn't look straight at Viserys's behavior.

As the first Westeros noble to swear allegiance to him, what benefit does Viserys bring to him by pointing out his bastard status?

The king's status is supported by his vassals. Doesn't belittling one's vassals mean belittling oneself?

However, Ian was not too surprised. After all, he had known for a long time that Viserys had zero political literacy.

"Your Majesty," Ian had already thought about how to deal with this situation, "In Westeros, if an illegitimate child wants to take his father's surname, he must issue an edict from the king, but our throne has been shamefully Usurped, the true king of the Seven Kingdoms is far away in Essos!" Ian said emotionally,

"Actually, my father has long wanted to give us his surname, but my two brothers and I have always remained illegitimate, because my father has no choice! Could he still go to the usurper?"

"Of course not!" Viserys roared, "I am the only king of the Seven Kingdoms! No one can steal from the dragon, because the dragon always remembers!"

"So I have to endure this shame until Your Majesty gives me this honor and allows me to legally inherit the mantle of the Darry family," Ian said as he presented the sword, "My sword is only for legal reasons. I will fight for you until my last breath."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Viserys' fingers were trembling with excitement as he said three good words in a row, "You are the first person to swear allegiance to me, and you will be my most loyal friend."

Viserys gasped, excitedly searching his memory for the oath of allegiance, but unfortunately, he couldn't remember it, because the last time he used these oaths was when he was crowned on Dragonstone, when he was a child.

Ian noticed Viserys' dilemma, so he ignored the etiquette of the king asking questions and vassals answering, and directly began to swear:

"I, Ian Rivers, swear allegiance to you. I will serve you for the rest of my life, give you honest advice and absolute obedience, protect your rights and your country, no matter the dangers ahead, I will always I swear by the Seven to fight alongside you, to care for your people, and to punish your enemies."

"I, Viserys III Targaryen, accept your allegiance as King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realms," Viserys said with a suppressed voice. In his own excitement, he said all his titles loudly, as if this could prove his legitimacy, "There will be a place for you in the Seven Kingdoms! Rise up, Earl, in the name of Ian Darry."

"The day when the true dragon returns to the throne." After listening to the prompt tone from the system, Ian slowly stood up and looked at Viserys with an almost fanatical look.

Viserys nodded blankly, and then repeated: "The day when the true dragon returns to the throne."

The next moment, the audience burst into applause.

Even Khal Drogo, who came closer, stopped. After listening to Illyrio's translation of the conversation between Ian and Viserys, he nodded appreciatively to Ian.

Looking at the reactions of the people around him, Viserys suddenly had a wonderful experience, something he had never felt before.

Viserys has been told since he was a child that he is the last hope to revive the Targaryen dynasty, the greatest dynasty in history. From the age of seven, he has been shouldering this important task that can crush anyone.

But no one, all his so-called friends and supporters, had never given him what Ian made him feel at this moment - love.

Later, Daeron Grafson and Jorah Mormont also walked over, intending to swear fealty to Viserys after Ian.

But Illyrio did not give them time and took Drogo directly to Viserys. He did not dare to let Drogo wait any longer.

Drogo would only find it amusing to wait once for the swearing-in process; to wait two or three times would be considered a reluctance.

Seeing Drogo coming, Viserys also hurriedly turned away from Ian: "Come back to me later, I want to hear you tell more stories about Westeros," then turned around and pulled his sister nervously. He said to her, "Smile at him and hold your head high."

Dany glanced back at Ian hastily, then smiled, puffed up her chest, and followed her brother towards Drogo.
