Chapter 170 Rhapsody of Pentos (3)
"Who is she?" Mills saw the unfamiliar face next to Ian as soon as he came out and asked immediately.
"She is Hazan's sister. I brought her back as a hostage." Ian found a reason casually.
If possible, Ian actually doesn't want to take Celia with him, but in his next plan, he needs to control both the main body and the falcon, and there will be no extra mental power to control the cat that monitors Celia. In order to ensure that Celia was in his sight, he simply took her with him.
"Bring him back as a hostage?" Butler Mills was stunned. This was not part of the plan.
"This is what Governor Illyrio ordered me to do. The Governor also said," Ian said, squinting at the pair of slaves who were acting as substitutes, "Take them out first." He waved his hand, and Roel stepped forward to take them out. The two were taken out.
Mills had no objection to this. The two slaves had no idea that they had been chosen as substitutes for the Targaryen brothers and sisters, and they were not qualified to know their plans.
"So what else did the Governor order?"
"That's not important anymore," Ian shook his head. "What's important is." He suddenly pulled out the dagger, and with lightning speed, he instantly cut the neck of Butler Mills who was standing next to him, and the butler's aorta was slashed. , bright red blood suddenly spilled out like a fountain.
At the same time, the Water Dancer Master Atari unsheathed his sword and instantly cut the throat of an Unsullied. Case also buried the sword into the chest of an Unsullied.
"Move these bodies to the inner room." Ian ordered Case.
After saying that, Ian picked up the whip used to command the Unsullied from Steward Mills' body, and used his eyes to signal Yada to keep an eye on Celia before walking towards the second floor.
It was the location of the Targaryen brother and sister's chambers.
The furnishings of the parliament hall are high-profile and luxurious. The exquisite marble floor tiles are covered with carpets from Myr. The ceiling is covered with glass mosaics. There are colorful murals on the four walls. One hundred and twenty-eight gilded Candle chandeliers hang high overhead, and eight huge stained glass skylights open in eight directions in the hall.
Illyrio leaned on the back of the chair wrapped in soft animal skins, raised his head and looked up at the sky, watching the light that poured into the council hall through the stained glass skylight gradually turn dim.
"Lord Illyrio." He suddenly heard someone calling him.
Illyrio withdrew his gaze from the ceiling and looked at the visitor. He was a young man in his early 20s. He was dressed very maturely and looked even older than some of the half-century old men in the council chamber. He was serious, but this could not hide his slightly childish face.
Illyrio knew him. He was the head of the Servassi family, one of the 40 families of the Great Council. Since the previous heads of this family died unexpectedly one after another, the family had to choose from among the younger generation when there was really no successor. He chose the most talented person as the head of the family.
And this kid has bet all his hopes of revitalizing the family on Hazan, and he is considered one of the most famous mouthpieces of the Braavos Party in the Grand Council.
At this moment, this little guy came in front of him, and Illyrio smiled: "Good day, Bidasini, what do you want from me?"
"There are rumors outside that you and His Highness Hazan have formed an alliance. Is this true?" the young man asked anxiously.
"Pantos, it's time to make some changes." Illyrio answered the question, but in Bildashini's view, it was acquiescing to his own question.
"Oh," Bidasini suddenly smiled, "Your Excellency Illyrio, I have admired you for a long time. I very much look forward to the day when we can cooperate in the future."
"I'm sure it won't take us long." Illyrio smiled back.
At this time, the sound of ringing bells rang in the council chamber, which meant that the representatives of the last family had taken their seats, and Prince Trigg Moharis of Pentos officially announced the start of this grand council.
After saluting Illyrio, Bildashini hurriedly returned to his seat, and then began to tell the allies around him what he had just gained.
The first speaker in the assembly was Governor Guerrero Tetrus, who called for this congress.
Guerrero stood in the center of the venue wearing a simple armed suit. He was not wearing a weapon because according to Pentos tradition, everyone needs to hand over their weapons to the guards for safekeeping before entering the Palace of Parliament.
But despite this, no one dared to underestimate the governor who was about to speak, because his army had already gathered in the North City. If today's affairs were not handled well, Pentos City would face a catastrophe.
"Members of Congress, I am sorry to have delayed everyone's time by bringing you together on such an occasion," Governor Tetrus said in a loud and clear voice, allowing everyone in the venue to clearly understand him. Every sentence, "I am here today with great sorrow and anger to accuse Hazan, the son of His Highness Prince Trigg, for the crimes he committed against my son Suda and the Tetrus family!
I am here today in three capacities, first as a father, and just this morning my son lost both his hands and feet and will live the rest of his life. This saddens and pains me, but I will never He will take revenge for this, because he was wounded on the battlefield, upright.
But Prince Hazan should have killed him on the spot! Hazan should kill him instead of humiliate him! He should respect the traditions of Pentos, his opponent, and the joust itself.
So I am here as the head of the Tetrus family. I want to ask our Prince, what does Hazan mean by teasing my son on the battlefield? He could clearly win the victory easily, but he chose the most humiliating method! This is not an insult to my son Suda himself, but a challenge and stain on the honor of the Tetrus family! "
Governor Tetrus raised his voice, his tone was generous and passionate, and he pointed to Prince Trigg on the high platform, "May I understand this as the provocation of the Mohalis family against the Tetrus family?"
The prince's eyes averted for a moment and he did not answer. According to his son's instructions, he should not speak until the news came that the Targaryen brothers and sisters were under his control. The task of delaying time was left to Governor Tetrus. yes.
"Finally, I am here as a Governor of Pentos. I would like to ask His Highness, what does the phrase 'Kneel down and swear your surrender to me' that Prince Hazan repeatedly repeated during the contest mean? As we all know, what does it mean?" , only slaves will kneel in Pentos, what does Hazan want? Is he humiliating all citizens of Pentos?"
Sure enough, as soon as Tetrus said these words, the dozing members of the circular council hall suddenly became energetic, and the whole meeting hall fell into a noise.
"Your Highness Princess? Are you in there?" Ian had just knocked on Viserys's door and received no response, so he had a bad feeling in his heart.
He remembered that he had seen a small detail in the fifth volume of the original work, that is, Illyrio mentioned that Viserys was eager for Drogo's return gift, but was unwilling to give up his sister just like this (according to the Targaryen family In the tradition of brother-sister marriage, Dany was supposed to marry him).
