Chapter 871 Changes in Boys
"Father!"
The little girl with silver-blond neck-length short hair saw Viserys running over and gave him a big hug.
Viserys also picked up his eldest daughter and circled the sky until she giggled.
The little brown-haired boy stood by and watched silently. He looked at the almost identical hair color of his father and sister, and then glanced at the long curly brown hair on his forehead, his expression slightly saddened.
Although Helos is still young, as the prince of the Targaryen family and the eldest son of the emperor, he is naturally not a child of an ordinary peasant family. He must receive an excellent education from the royal family at a very young age and understand the meaning of power and competition. .
Then, when Viserys put down his sister and turned his eyes to himself, Helos tidied up his clothes and walked up, bowed his head slightly, and said with a serious salute.
"Father."
And Viserys looked at his eldest son, a boy who had a face very similar to himself, but did not inherit the characteristics of his bloodline. When he saw Heros, it was like seeing himself back then.
The smile on Viserys' face just faded slightly, and Helos felt a little tighter when he saw his father's smile fade away.
In fact, every child of this age will be frightened when the smile on his father's face disappears, and wonder if he has done something?
"what I did wrong?"
However, before Helos could react, he saw the smile on his father's face again. Viserys reached out and rubbed Helos' little head affectionately, then took him beside him.
"Well, my little sun."
The name Viserys gave to Helos means 'sun god' because he had high expectations for his eldest son, hoping that he could become the hope and strength of many people.
The sun brings hope to people, and perhaps there has never been a moment more deeply felt than it is now.
Therefore, from this name, it can be seen that Viserys has high hopes for Heros and wants to make his eldest son his heir.
but
He hadn't seen him for more than half a year, but Viserys was a little surprised by the changes in Helos, because before he left Helos was a boy who loved to read, but was taciturn, but just now he saw a skilled salute, seemingly Intimate but practical but keeping a distance, the boy who moved the monarch, monarch, ministers and ministers to the family.
Viserys was amazed at the changes in Helos in just over half a year, but then he remembered that Helos is only five or six years old now, which is the stage of shaping the three views. He may have been influenced by some people around him, and then his smile faded slightly. a moment.
But he didn't expect Helos to be so keen at such a young age. He just restrained his smile, and the boy noticed it, and his heart felt a little tight.
However, Viserys responded quickly. He rubbed the boy's hair to relieve Heros from the nervousness just now, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, and even the relationship between father and son would be unfamiliar. Heros was a little nervous when he saw his father again.
"what about me?"
And the silver-haired girl on the side heard her father calling her younger brother 'Little Sun' and pursed her lips and spoke in dissatisfaction. Then she heard Viserys also calling her 'Little Moon', and then she smiled again. Father kissed his slightly stubble cheek.
Having two children is a blessing on earth, and Viserys is also very fortunate that he has got such two lovely elves.
However, when Viserys saw Arianne and learned about a series of recent events, the good mood just now disappeared.
"my sweetheart."
Arianne looked guilty, feeling that she had betrayed Viserys' trust.
Her husband gave her the whole country, and Arianne was very confident at first, thinking that the way to run the country and the intrigues of men was just that, but when Viserys really gave her the whole country, Arianne It turns out that reality and imagination are two completely different things.
Arianne is somewhat similar in character to Cersei Lannister, the former Queen of King Robert. Cersei is proud, self-willed, ambitious, and considers herself very politically gifted. ability.
Cersei worships and imitates her father Tywin's way of doing things everywhere, but in fact Cersei does not have the shrewdness and scheming of Duke Tywin. Some of them are nothing but self-righteous little tricks. Wisdom is lacking.
And Arianne may not be able to compare to Cersei in terms of ability, because although Arianne is also decisive, she is not as vicious as Cersei. As for governing the country, Arianne is still a bit stronger than Cersei.
Because Arianne will at least not confidently perform micro-manipulation in areas she is not familiar with, she will patiently listen to the opinions of others, even those she does not like, as a dwarf little devil Tyrion Lannister, and Vilas Tyrell of House Rose.
Viserys' influence on her made her know that even a person as good as her husband would patiently consult experts in this field when faced with something she didn't understand.
Viserys once took Arianne to tour the farmland around King's Landing, and her husband went down to visit in person, so Arianne naturally couldn't keep sitting in the carriage.
Then she saw Viserys' question about how to better grow wheat, and she carefully asked a gray-haired farmer for advice, and the other party answered with sincerity. Arianne, who has enjoyed all the glory and wealth, is very impressed.
"Old Lord Brecon and Sir William Darry."
Arianne was a little uneasy, seeing the sadness and anger on her husband's face.
"It's none of your business."
After being silent for a while, Viserys finally spoke slowly.
Putting himself in his shoes, Arianne's choice was not wrong. As the ruler of the empire, he must give priority to the safety of the capital. The importance of the capital is self-evident. After all, this is the land under their feet.
When chaos occurs in other places, it can be suppressed. However, when the capital is chaotic, it often means that a country’s dominance is declining, and its demise is not far away.
The death of the old Earl of Bracken was indeed too old for him, but he fell ill and died from the torture of this cold night.
Viserys was particularly outraged by the death of Sir William Darry.
