Chapter 133 Khal Drogo’s Banquet (5)
"As you can see, Mr. Yada now serves me, and I intend to dedicate him to His Majesty Viserys to become one of His Majesty's Kingsguard." Daeron took over, "So, if You hope to have Mr. Yada fight for you, and perhaps you can ask His Majesty for his opinion later.”
"Viserys?" Hazan said, looking at Ambassador Olanto.
Hazan had never dealt with the Beggar King, but he had heard a lot of negative rumors about Viserys, and he had always regarded it as a joke. He never thought that one day he would be able to beg him. .
However, before Oranto could respond, Ian said to Daeron in a voice that was deliberately lowered but just enough for Oranto and Hazan to hear: "Governor Illyrio reminded us not to participate in the Pentos party struggle. Anything about that.”
"Earl Darry, I admit that I admire you very much. Your wisdom and talent make me convinced, so for a long time, I have almost played the role of your subordinate," Darren looked at Yi Well, he said very seriously, "But at this moment I must remind you that we are the vassals of His Majesty Viserys, not Governor Illyrio."
"There is no conflict." Ian retorted 'subconsciously', then quickly stopped and stretched out a hand to Darren's shoulder, "We will talk about these things later, I will explain it clearly to you."
However, Daeron slapped Ian's hand away with a 'snap', and his attitude was very firm: "No matter what, on this issue, I will only obey the orders of His Majesty Viserys."
Ian's face suddenly darkened. Facing the looks from around him, he responded with "extreme reluctance": "Of course, if this is His Majesty's wish, I will use my life to carry it out." After speaking, Ian added again, "However, Governor Illyrio is His Majesty's most important ally. I believe that Your Majesty will not ignore the Governor's wishes."
Upon hearing Ian's words, Prince Hazan's eyes suddenly lit up as if he had been inspired by something.
Immediately, he remembered the overly high evaluation of Ian by the cheese seller Taro Byrne who had given Ian the invitation letter. He couldn't help but look at Ian again and stared at him for a few seconds, hoping to find something on his face. Traces of performance.
Unfortunately, he didn't gain anything. Ian's eyes were full of anxiety and embarrassment, and there was no sense of cunning that he expected.
"But what if His Majesty's will is inconsistent with His Excellency the Governor?" Daeron continued to ask, coupled with the looks of the surrounding Pentos nobles who had just watched Ian's oath ceremony to Viserys, it directly put Ian into a dilemma. ' situation.
"Then I will naturally be loyal to Your Majesty." Ian replied 'forced'.
Darren nodded after getting an answer he was satisfied with.
"Lord Ian Darry," Ambassador Olanto waited until the conversation between Ian and Daeron was over before speaking, "I can assure you that Illyrio will not object to this, let alone Make it difficult for you.”
Ian was a little surprised, because according to his own speculation, Ambassador Olanto should have an antagonistic relationship with the people behind Illyrio in the party struggle in Braavos.
But Olanto was able to speak with such certainty that Ian had to wonder if his speculation was biased, or if there was some hidden secret that he didn't know about.
"I hope so." Ian didn't ask, his attitude remained polite, but his mood was obviously not very high.
Ambassador Olanto stopped talking and took the opportunity to continue talking to Water Dancer Yada.
At this point, Ian was slightly relieved because the first stage of his performance was over. Even if Illyrio asked his spies about the details of the incident afterwards, he had always stood on Illyrio's side. As for his final statement, he had no choice but to do so.
Next, it all depends on whether Prince Hazan and Olanto understand the hint he just gave and whether they can convince Viserys.
The conversation between Illyrio and others and Drogo did not last long, and soon they returned to their original position with Dany.
Oranto and Hazan did not rush forward to greet them, but let Daeron and Jorah, who had been waiting for a long time, come forward first to swear allegiance.
Watching their allegiance ceremony, Ian suddenly felt someone tugging on his sleeve. He turned around and saw Dani's little face with a hint of nervousness.
"Your Highness Princess." Ian gave a slight salute.
"Sir." Dany replied unskilledly. She had learned the etiquette of Westeros, but had never had the opportunity to use it.
"You are now my brother's knight, right?" Dany asked softly, with a hint of hope in her violet eyes.
"I am also your knight, Your Highness." Ian used to flatter him, but when he saw Dany's joy at the moment after hearing these words, he suddenly felt complicated and indescribable. Just instinctive discomfort, something he didn't feel when he deceived Viserys.
But it was just uncomfortable. For Ian, who had been in the world of ice and fire for almost three months, the bottom line was no longer in his dictionary.
To paraphrase someone who doesn't quite fit the quotation, lying, cheating and stealing is the nature of the power game.
"Are you a relative of Uncle William? Are you all from the Darry family?" Dany has no impression of the Darry family. She only remembers the burly gray-bearded man when the traitor fleet invaded Dragonstone and began to massacre. , it was Sir William Darry who led four dead men into the nursery, rescued her and her brother, and took them to escape to Braavos.
Along with it, there are the best memories of Dany's entire childhood. Dany still remembers the red door of the big house in Braavos and the lemon tree outside her bedroom window.
"Yes," Ian replied, "but I actually have no impression of him." This was true. Ian's impression of the knight only remained in Dany's memories from the book, but he wanted to Well explained, "I was too young when the Usurper War happened and I didn't know what happened. The only thing they have in common is the loyalty flowing in our blood."
"Yes, Uncle William is a loyal knight." Dany nodded in agreement, "You are the same."
Dany apparently believed Iain, even though they were on the run from Braavos to Myr, from Myr to Tyrosh, and later to Queh, Volantis, Lys, and finally Pentos. Only then did he really settle down.
Her brother always said that the Usurper's assassins were after them, but Dany had never seen half an assassin, so she wasn't suspicious.
Moreover, Ian gave her a very cordial feeling. This cordiality came first from the preconceived senses brought about by the loyal surname Darry, and secondly from the fact that Ian had previously rescued her from Viserys's 'Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon'
Although Ian only came to swear allegiance to Viserys, Dany clearly remembered that Ian was still watching at that time, but he walked quickly after seeing her being bullied by Viserys.
This was a relief for her, and she knew it.
