Chapter 34 Bold Ideas

"His Majesty."

The old jazz with white beard and hair had a rough voice, and then nodded slightly, all the words that should be said have been said.

And Queen Layla was still sitting on the most central seat, her face was a little haggard with a big belly, she took a deep breath and nodded.

"There is Sir Lau Geoffrey."

However, the old man didn't say anything, but stood up and bowed slightly, and the armor on his body made a sound.

Then he was ready to leave the Table Room and return to the fleet docked at the port.

And at this time.

Viserys, who had been listening for a long time, looked at Sir Jeffrey and raised his hand suddenly, like a well-behaved child in class.

"Sir, I have a question."

"Can our fleet sail across the narrow sea?"

The young king sat on the side seat with one hand on the table and raised the other hand abruptly.

"Um?"

The old sergeant was slightly startled when he heard Viserys' words, and then stopped.

Looking down at the panoramic map of Westeros in the table hall, the location of Dragonstone Island is exactly the gateway to the King's Landing Sea, and after Blackwater Bay is the narrow sea sandwiched between the two continents.

On the other side of the narrow sea is the 'Eastern Continent' or 'West Coast' in the mouths of Westeros, the scientific name is Essos Continent, where the nine major free trade cities are located.

Viserys suddenly asked this question at this time. Although he was only seven years old, he had to let the old sergeant fall into contemplation slightly.

"Your Highness means"

Sir Geoffrey was silent for a moment, then raised his gray head and asked back.

"Dragonstone is too barren."

"One has no resources, and two has no population."

Viserys' two small hands were tucked into the sleeves of the blue velvet robe, and his fists were slightly clenched. On the surface, he looked very calm, but the boy's heart was actually a little nervous.

Even more nervous than he killed three mercenaries last night.

Because this is the first time he has taken the initiative to express his opinion, he knows what will happen in the future, so he wants to seek change.

And the Dragonstone Fleet, a powerful force still loyal to Targaryen, naturally cannot be buried in the storm for no reason.

There are still three months before his sister will come to this world, and with her, it will be the biggest storm in hundreds of years or even history.

This storm destroyed the last of the Targaryen fleet, leaving them all buried in the harbor, and Dragonstone surrendered without a fight.

And the young Viserys was forced to exile in the Eastern Continent with his little sister who was just a baby, and was fostered as a wanderer in various powerful families.

If Viserys wants to change his future destiny, he must take this fleet that is still loyal to Targaryen firmly in his hands at this time, and will never allow them to be destroyed by that storm.

So Viserys changed his low-key and silent attitude at this time, seized this opportunity, and bravely stood up to express his opinion.

Even though he is very young now, his words are likely to be regarded as farts by them, but he still wants to try it.

Persuade his mother and Sir Geoffrey to want them to hear his opinion.

Even just a little.

Sir Geoffrey remained silent when he heard Viserys' words, stroking the map with one hand, unable to see what the old man was thinking.

And Viserys was slightly relieved when he saw that the other party didn't directly object.

Immediately, he opened his mouth again with sharper words.

"Mother, and Sir Geoffrey."

The little king, who was only seven years old, sat in his chair, plucked up his courage, and looked at Queen Layla and the commander of the Dragonstone fleet.

"If we're stuck on Dragonstone and don't seek to change the current situation, it's probably only a matter of time before we fail."

Viserys said this time without any euphemism, and spoke sharply and directly.

And Queen Layla's face changed slightly when she heard her son's words, she hated Viserys saying such unlucky words.

The woman has become a little neurotic because of the frequent stimulation and accidents during this period, and the 'defeat' once stimulated her even more.

"Viserys!"

Queen Layla's voice was sharp, even when she was about to scold her son for being blunt.

"So."

However, he was suddenly interrupted by the fleet commander who had been silent for a long time.

Sir Geoffrey held the map in one hand, raised his head, and looked at Viserys, who was sitting on the other side of the map, with gleaming taupe eyes.

"What do you want to do, Your Highness?"

He didn't expect that this child would suddenly say such a thing, it takes more than courage.

Coupled with the news I heard last night, the child killed three mercenaries through some methods.

Jeffrey suddenly became interested in Viserys.

Does Viserys really have the potential to grow into the next Prince of Rhaegar?

The former "Silver Prince" had unimaginable influence among the many Targaryen families.

Everyone thought Rhaegar had to be the greatest Targaryen king ever to sit on the Iron Throne.

Until now, Rhaegar has been dead for more than half a year, and these people still think so.

And Viserys also had bright eyes, looking at each other without showing weakness.

But he didn't know that he was once again compared to his near-perfect brother in the hearts of others.

After receiving Sir Geoffrey's response, Viserys became more confident in his heart, and then again boldly expressed his thoughts.

"Sir, we can abandon Dragonstone and take a city on the Eastern Continent as a new home."

"Abandon Dragonstone Island?"

The gray-haired little old man narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard Viserys' bold idea.

Dragonstone, as the "Land of Dragons" where the Targaryens conquered Westeros, has important historical and practical significance in itself.

And if Targaryen directly gave up on Dragonstone now, it would be equivalent to giving up his claim to the Iron Throne, and disguised himself as acknowledging the legitimacy of the usurper.

The geographical location of Dragonstone Island is also very important. As the gateway to the sea, the Dragonstone Island fleet is still blocking the import and export of the entire Blackwater Bay.

Even though the Baratheon family was full of anger but did not have a powerful navy to challenge the Royal Fleet, they could only obediently take a detour.

And the old Sir did not expect that Viserys would lose his courage and propose to give up Dragonstone when the situation was not so bad.

Abandoning his claim to the Iron Throne, he fled to the Eastern Continent like a lost dog.

Could it be because of what happened last night that this child was frightened?

But this is also normal.

After all, Prince Viserys is only a seven-year-old child, and he can't expect everyone to be as good as Prince Rhaegar.

The old jazz was a little disappointed while he understood very well.
