Chapter 709 Building an Ancestral Hall

"His Majesty."

"His Majesty."

The routine imperial council was over, the ministers got up and left, and Viserys also returned to his bedroom.

Jon Clinton died unexpectedly in Dorne, and in addition to the replacement of the position of the former Prime Minister, there is still a vacancy for the position of Governor of the Stormlands.

The position of the governor is not hereditary, but it is held by the able, and it is also not fixed to a certain family. Viserys can designate a person as the governor of the stormland, and can also be elected by the nobles of the stormland.

Jon's death left only an unborn posthumous child, and even boys and girls couldn't see it, and Viserys couldn't designate the child in Mrs. Beth's womb as the next Governor of Stormland even if he took his feelings into account.

That would be a serious breach of the system he had established himself, and since then no one has taken the decree of the governor of the empire seriously.

Therefore, Viserys did not designate or parachute a governor to the Stormlands, but let the nobles of the Stormlands elect a governor for approval by the Iron Throne.

And Jon Clinton's wife, Lady Beth Bracken, was pregnant and was about to give birth, so Viserys let her stay in the Red Keep temporarily, freeing up the position of the Prime Minister's Tower and handing it over to the new Prime Minister Meath · Toyne.

Lady Beth Bracken, who was pregnant, was temporarily taken care of by the palace steward in the Red Keep, waiting for the birth of the child to return to Storm's End. Now Storm's End is handed over to the steward of the Clinton family.

At the same time, Viserys also asked Mrs. Beth to pass a letter to the chief executive of the Clinton family, asking him to build a Jon Clinton shrine in Storm's End.

And this order made Storm's End Chief and the Bachelor, who received the letter, look at each other, and some were confused.

Because the sanctuary in the castle is generally built to worship the seven gods, and some ancestral halls are built to worship ancestors, but they are dedicated to a person who has just died.

This is really not very common.

Even the chief steward and the maester who stayed in Storm's End felt a little panicky for no reason, and the wind was blowing from the back of their necks. They always felt that the soul of Lord Jon Clinton seemed to be watching them from some corner.

Of course, although some panicked and some couldn't understand, there was nothing they could do. After all, it was Mrs. Beth's order, and they could only do it correctly.

So now Storm's End is under construction to build a shrine dedicated to the statue of Jon Clinton.

And Viserys did this for a reason. He lent Jon Clinton a little Divine Fire to help him grow quickly, and then prepared Jon for other things after his death.

He plans to place Jon Clinton's soul in the ancestral hall of the Clinton family in the future, and let him become the guardian spirit of the Clinton family in Storm's End.

After the imperial meeting, Viserys returned to his bedroom to rest, while on the other side, in the garden of the Red Fort, there was the sound of clanging weapons colliding.

In the empty garden at the moment, the sun is shining brightly overhead, and two girls of similar height are fighting with magic weapons in hand.

One of them wore the white armor of the Kingsguard, while the other girl wore silver armor with a ruby ​​inlaid on the necklace on her chest, and her long brown hair was scattered over the cold armor.

Neither of them wore helmets, their figures flickered and moved, and the weapons in their hands kept colliding. The weapons they held were extremely luxurious, and if the knights outside saw it, they would probably go mad with jealousy.

Because one of the two female knights is holding the Dragon Slaying Sword, and the other is holding the famous Dark Sisters, both of which are Valyrian steel swords.

However, the red-haired female knight in the snow-white cape finally had the upper hand. Her swordsmanship was even more bizarre, and her figure was more erratic, while the girl with long brown hair on the other side had the most orthodox swordsmanship.

After three or four rounds, the female knight in white finally seized the opportunity to knock down the long sword in the opponent's hand. The tip of the sword pointed to the opponent's throat, and then she put the sword into the sheath, and said in a curious voice.

"Your Highness, have you been worried recently?"

"Sorry, Master Mia."

And Renice heard that her swordsmanship teacher saw through her disguise at a glance, and suddenly her face was slightly ashamed.

"It's no big deal, I'm here too."

Mia was still older than Reness, and she was even older than Viserys.

She once wandered the streets of Volantis, and chose to become a mercenary in order to survive. She has experienced many moments of life and death, and her experience is naturally rich.

"Master Mia, what exactly are the ruins of Valyria?"

"I'm a little curious."

Renis and Mia each drew their swords into their sheaths, and said that they had taken off their armor as they walked, while Renis was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask.

"I asked Viserys, but he didn't say anything."

When the red-haired female knight heard Renice's question, she immediately turned her head and gave her a strange look, and then she understood, she couldn't help shaking her head and chuckling slightly.

"There are some terrifying monsters in there, Your Highness, you won't be interested."

The two girls walked and talked, and then her topic changed very bluntly.

"I once liked someone too, Your Highness."

"Is it?"

"Who does Master Mia like?"

However, Mia's blunt topic change didn't make any difference in Renis' ears. The red-haired female knight's words seemed to pierce the strangeness in her heart, so Renis couldn't help but open her mouth curiously. asked.

"A kid next door."

The two girls walked into the corridor of the Red Fort Garden. The green vines above their heads climbed up the shelves. The bright sunlight penetrated the branches and leaves, leaving mottled shadows.

"He also has red hair, he has a handsome face, and most importantly, he sings well."

"He used to sing to me back then."

Mia said this and couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, but she quickly discovered this, and hurriedly restrained the expression on her face.

"Really?"

"And then what?"

And Renice didn't see the fleeting smile on Mia's face, and asked with anticipation.

"later?"

"And then he died."

The red-haired female knight shrugged slightly and said.

"what?"

This strong reversal suddenly made Renice a little unacceptable.

"So this story tells us that if we like someone, we must fight for it as soon as possible, instead of delaying it to the end and leaving regrets."
