Chapter 367 The Messenger of the Iron Throne

This was not the first time Petyr Baelish had come to Pentos.

The last time he came here was through the recommendation of the former Prime Minister Jon Arryn, and carried out King Robert's order to persuade many free trade city-states to form an anti-Andalus alliance.

This is the suggestion that Tywin Lannister, Duke of Casterly Rock, came to King's Landing to meet King Robert's proposal after hearing that his last younger brother, Jillian, had died.

Duke Tywin's hatred for Targaryen's remnants is well known, and both of his brothers died at the hands of the little bastard.

However, it is a pity that Duke Tywin's plan failed. Petyr's plan to lobby the free trade city-state was very successful, alienating the relationship between Braavos and Andalos, and successfully instigating Governor Pantos to take advantage of the invitation. Viserys strikes.

But the end result was that Viserys went to the meeting "single-handedly" and killed all the governors of Pantos in the chaos.

In the end, he captured Pantos and broke through the anti-Andalus alliance. Like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, there will be no forces that can limit the development of Andalos.

The final result of Petyr's last mission to Pantos was not very good, and this time, Littlefinger's heart was actually even more uneasy.

He originally didn't want to come because he had done something wrong, but he didn't expect that because of his excellent performance last time, that damn old man Jon Arryn and King Robert valued him very much, and asked Petyr to come out in person.

So Littlefinger could only bite the bullet, he had Jon Arryn's orders in his heart, and Queen Cersei's secret advice, and he also had his own little Jiujiu.

Lord Petyr Baelish's territory is only the smallest little finger on the Five Fingers Peninsula, so he has such an insulting nickname, but he is not angry, and even uses it as an incentive.

His lifelong aspirations were to raise his class and desire for power to become a great man.

Therefore, he is willing to become a lackey for power, but his lackey will not be loyal to his master.

With three intentions on a trip, Petyr Baelish also felt a lot of pressure, but he was not discouraged. He stood outside the palace of Pantos by the sea and took a deep breath to calm down.

Then he turned his head and glanced at Hendry Bracken beside him, and the brown-haired young man standing beside him also looked a little nervous, and felt the gaze of Lord Petyr Baelish also turned his head. came to look at each other.

Then Petyr showed a calm and calm smile on his face, patted Hendry Bracken on the shoulder and said encouragingly.

"Don't be nervous, Hendry, you've come to see your father."

"Your father once saved the life of His Royal Highness, and is now held in high esteem in Pentos."

"It is impossible for anyone to make things difficult for you, Your Highness."

The two were of the same age, but Petyr Baelish had a calm demeanor, as if the elders were educating the younger.

On the other hand, Hendry Bracken naturally lowered his head, took a deep breath when he heard the words of Lord Petyr, and nodded, as if he really relaxed a lot.

His father is a high-ranking official here under His Royal Highness Prince Targaryen, and His Highness will not embarrass him no matter what.

"Well, I came to see my father."

Hendry emphasized it to himself again, and got a smile of encouragement from Petyr, and a smile appeared on his face.

And standing behind them, King Robert, Captain of the Kingsguard Ser Barristan Selmy, listened to the conversation between the two, and remained silent the whole time.

Petyr Baelish represented King Robert's upright envoy, and unlike the last conspiracy, naturally a Kingsguard would accompany him.

Because he stayed in the Red Fort but disdained politics and was alone, he was dissatisfied and ostracized by various forces.

Although the two often quarrel over certain issues, Barristan's biggest supporter is King Robert, who admires the outspoken captain of the Kingsguard.

However, King Robert has been away from King's Landing for more than a year, so this upright captain of the Kings Forest Guard is also disliked by some people and a little annoying, and he conspired to drive him out of King's Landing to perform this escort mission.

Barristan Selmy was also full of mixed emotions about the trip, as he was King Aerys II's Kingsguard and swore allegiance to the king, but in the end he surrendered to the usurper.

It’s okay if it’s just like this, after all, people will forget about it after a while, but the Targaryen family stood up again on the other side of the narrow sea, and the second Prince Targaryen who fled inherited the legacy of his father and brother and re-established the kingdom. This made his psychology somewhat contradictory and complicated.

"Will His Royal Highness the Second Prince be someone different from his father?"

The white robe knight was thinking wildly.

He had seen His Royal Highness the second prince when he was a child, and even hugged him with his own hands.

But Barristan never thought that the best son of the previous king was not his eldest son Rhaegar, but his second son, His Royal Highness Viserys.

And at this moment, the gate of the palace was opened.

The three envoys who traveled thousands of miles from King's Landing had been standing outside the palace for a long time.

The two Unsullied soldiers wore light armor, and their eyes were cold and indifferent under their helmets.

"Lord Petyr Baelish?"

"Please come in, Your Majesty has time to see you."

"grateful."

And the man with a small chin and a small beard nodded and smiled gracefully and politely.

Then he took Hendry Bracken, the captain of the King's Iron Guard, and his entourage into the Palace of the Nine Towers.

And Viserys has naturally been waiting here for a long time, he did not deliberately change his clothes, and put on the crown symbolizing the king.

He used to do this because he had no strength and needed to use some appearances to deliberately emphasize his status and consolidate his rule.

But now he can't. He holds the power that can threaten the Seven Kingdoms. The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms are trembling under his shadow. When will they send troops to attack Westeros is only a matter of time.

The female knight stood behind him holding the hilt of Valyrian steel in one hand, and the commander of the Unsullied Legion, Black Bug, also stood under the steps not far away, holding a spear, and two rows of soldiers of the Unsullied stood behind him. Looking solemn.

After a while, footsteps sounded outside the hall.

The rest of the entourage of the mission was blocked from the outside, and only Petyr, Hendry, and the captain of the Kingsguard were allowed to enter the hall.

Littlefinger walked in a hurry, changing the calmness just now, and putting on a very urgent look.

He didn't dare to look at Viserys when he saw him, but put one hand on his chest and bowed to the end.

"Meet Your Highness the Second Prince."
