Chapter 624 Asha
There was an incident of children fighting in the garden at the corner of the Red Fort, but it has not been noticed for the time being, and maybe even if it was noticed, it would not be taken too seriously.
After all, it's just a bastard fighting with a foreigner child. The people on Westeros are proud, or have a tendency to be xenophobic. The foreigners on Nas Island are not regarded by them as much as bastards. They are noble Andals, they Nobles, Nas are just barbarians.
In the Imperial Council Chamber of the Red Keep, the rest of the courtiers have been dismissed, and Viserys has found the daughter of the sea monster, Asha Greyjoy, who is doing nothing.
However, when Viserys explained the reason for coming to her, the woman wearing black leather armor, slender with slender legs and short black hair agreed without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to go to the outside world?"
"Yes! I am willing to go!"
Viserys was slightly stunned by Asha's willingness to agree. After all, the ability to predict the future is not omnipotent. He only occasionally saw some fragments of the future. He didn't expect Asha to agree without hesitation.
"No need to think about it?"
"Asha, I have to tell you that you won't be able to come back in a short period of time. Your age is not too young, and it may delay your wedding."
Asha and Viserys are the same age, but Viserys has already embraced her daughter. She is a little late to marry in this era, unless it is the kind of lady whose blood is expensive.
And when she returns from Nas Island, I am afraid it will be a few years later, and then she will really be an old girl.
"Humph--"
However, the woman wearing the black leather armor with the sea monster's crest on her chest only snorted when she heard Viserys' words, and then sneered disdainfully.
"There have been people courting me during this time, but these men are either too ugly or too weak."
"They can't conquer me even in bed, so why should I marry them?"
Asha Greyjoy's free-spirited, arrogant personality makes it difficult for a man who is easygoing to get into his eyes.
There are only two conditions for her to find a man. Either she is really handsome, and she can get hot all over just by looking at it. She can 'marry' the other party with difficulty, and the rest is to be able to beat her.
"I met you in King's Landing some time ago."
"A woman."
Asha sat on the table in the Imperial Council Hall, grabbed a dried fruit on the table and threw it into her mouth. She seemed to remember something, and then said.
And Viserys sat in the chair and looked at the woman, and Asha knew she wouldn't get mad at such a small thing, so she did it.
But Viserys's character is really easy-going, not some matter of principle, and he rarely gets angry about it.
"woman?"
Viserys noticed the hesitation in her tone, a man is a man and a woman is a woman, why the hesitation.
And Asha didn't sell out, but continued to speak.
"She is tall, the tallest woman I've ever seen, with broad shoulders but a flat chest, a round, rough face, full of freckles, a row of buck teeth, a terrifyingly wide mouth, and fat lips like caterpillars."
"But she's got pretty eyes, I mean really—"
"Big and blue, innocent and straightforward, and confident."
Listening to Asha's description, the image of a female knight popped into Viserys' mind.
"Tas."
"Countess Brienne Tars."
Viserys leaned on the back of the chair and spoke, but this time, it was Asha's turn to be slightly surprised. She didn't expect that a king as high as Viserys would notice such an ugly woman.
"You actually know her?"
"I actually invited her to King's Landing."
And Viserys shook his head and said, Brienne's father died on the battlefield of the Green Fork, defending against the White Walkers, and then Tarth lost a male heir, followed by the recruitment of Renly or Stannis There was little to do with this beautiful island, so Brienne survived the post-war reckoning and became the new Countess.
Viserys had the Military Academy send a letter to Brienne, inviting her to study at King's Landing, and Brienne happily went after the invitation.
Asha and Brienne only met under this circumstance, and there was a conflict. Asha lost the fight with Brienne and was beaten.
Viserys also heard about this later, and it was even more popular among the King's Landing. Some people claimed that two women were fighting in a tavern, and they almost demolished the tavern. Some even said that they lived in King's Landing. The female giant in the outer royal forest ran out.
But I didn't expect to know each other without a fight, and Asha actually became interested in Brienne.
"Going off topic."
Then Viserys shook his head and said. They were originally discussing the issue of sending troops to Nas Island. They didn't expect to be distracted by a few words from the woman Asha. Viserys brought the topic back.
"You may not be able to come back in a short period of time, have you figured it out?"
"Well, figured it out!"
And Asha saw Viserys put away the joking voice on her face, and her cheeks became slightly serious.
"I don't have anything to do in King's Landing, so I might as well take this opportunity to go out and make a contribution."
Viserys agreed to her that this trip would grant her a castle and confer upon her the Countess, independent of the Iron Islands. This was the main reason why Asha was willing to go.
"Actually, I wanted to command my warship to travel around the trading city-states a long time ago, but I never got the chance."
"You know what your mission is, and the Iron Throne won't give you too many supplies."
Viserys reminded.
"I know!"
"It's all up to you."
And Asha said nonchalantly, it is absolutely every Iron Seed's dream to sail a ship all over the world, but Asha was born at an untimely time, did not catch up with a good time, and also has a too powerful uncle.
"However. My only concern is Theon, Your Majesty."
Talking about her brother, the smile on Asha's face disappeared.
"I can only entrust Theon to His Majesty. I hope you can take good care of him and don't let him go astray."
"You still don't trust Lord Eddard Stark about this?"
"Even if Eddard puts on black, Lady Catelyn will discipline Theon well."
Viserys nodded.
What he said also made sense. She had seen Mrs. Catelyn before, and Asha thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
However, when the two hadn't discussed the specific details of the mission, a guard hurried over and told Viserys a piece of news that made the expression on his face slightly weird.
"Call them all over."
