Chapter 323 Poor Joffrey

"Where is Illyrio, you bastards get out of the way, I'm going in to see him now!"

"His Royal Highness, the governor is dealing with matters now, please wait outside for a while, I will report..."

"Ridiculous! I'm the king, I can do whatever I want, and it's not up to you pariahs to push back and forth. Do you want to see the wrath of the sleeping dragon!"

Just as Illyrio was sitting in the palace hall feeling distressed about the future, there was a sudden fierce quarrel outside the hall, and the sharpest voice among them gave him a headache.

He knew that this domineering but irritable and incompetent voice belonged to the former prince who had accepted his funding and wanted to counterattack Westeros——Viserys Targaryen!
But hearing the constant noises outside, Illyrio couldn't help but shook his head, with worry and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Now the entire continent of Westeros has fallen into the carnival of alliance with the elves, and the rule of the Baratheon family on the Iron Throne has also reached unprecedented cohesion.

In this case, let alone counterattacking Westeros, it is even a question of whether the Targaryen brothers and sisters can protect themselves under their protection!
Eh... so difficult!
Seeing Viserys who had already pushed away the guards and rushed into the hall, Illyrio could only withdraw the sadness and disgust on his face, and then went up to him with a big smile and said:
"Viserys, my respected Majesty the King, I don't know why you came to my humble house suddenly?"

"Illyrio, all of Pentos is now spreading praises and praises for that usurper, you must give an order to stop all of this!"

Viserys, who was dressed in a fine dress, looked so resolute and handsome, but at this moment, he slapped the table in front of Illyrio angrily like a mad patient, shouting continuously.

Just a few hours ago, he was forcing his sister Daenerys to accompany him to the Colosseum to watch the bloody fighting show, and squander Illyrio's money by the way.

However, when he was enjoying the maid's soft chest in the carriage, he suddenly heard news about the establishment of diplomacy between the Iron Throne and the elves from outside the carriage!
Especially when the merchants learned that the army of elves descended on the Westeros continent by driving a giant dragon, and formally signed various covenants with the Iron Throne, Viserys fell into unprecedented anger.

Under such circumstances, he didn't have the heart to watch any beast show, so he hurried back home to ask Illyrio about the situation.

After knowing the details of the matter, Illyrio was secretly relieved, so he handed the secret letter sent by Varys to the other party and said:

"This is the information collected by my spies in King's Landing. Those mysterious and powerful elves have now become allies of the usurper. I'm afraid our plan will have to be postponed."

"Hmph, the usurper of the Baratheon family is not qualified to represent the will of the Iron Throne. I am the true owner of the Iron Throne. Those elves should come to me for negotiation!"

Hearing this, Viserys reached out and snatched the envelope from Illyrio's hand, then cursed while looking at it, the arrogance revealed in the words made Illyrio beside him roll his eyes.

If those elves really want to come to you, I'm afraid they will kill you because of your violent temper in the next second, right?

After all, although Illyrio also believes that Robert has gradually become incompetent after inheriting the throne, it is undeniable that Robert does have a personal charm that can turn enemies into friends.

What's more, the Baratheon family now occupies the Iron Throne, why should the elves cooperate with a wandering and helpless former prince?
After a long time, Viserys slowly put down the envelope in his hand, his originally handsome face gradually distorted into a ferocious and jealous look, and then roared hysterically:

"Obviously I am the master of the Iron Throne, whether it is the centuries-old history of the Targaryen dynasty, or the other nobles who still support it, it is obvious that we came first!"

The reason why he was so angry was not only because of the various alliance agreements reached between the elves and the usurper, but also because the elves were going to teach the usurper's descendants to learn magic.

After all, from Viserys' point of view, the fat, ball-like usurper Robert wasn't a good king at all, and his dynasty was bound to hit rock bottom in the turbulent future.

When Westeros is in chaos, he, Viserys, will lead the army back to his hometown King's Landing, and sit on the Iron Throne with the support of many nobles who are still loyal to the Targaryen dynasty.

However, now, the usurper has not only stabilized his rule over the Iron Throne by relying on the agreement reached with the elves, but also made his bastard offspring become the elf lord's apprentices, which can be described as more intimate!

Although Viserys was a little crazy, he was still a man with a bit of brain, so he immediately saw that Robert was planning to use the elves to stabilize the dominance of his descendants.

This is really... so despicable!
If it weren't for this usurper, he and Daenerys, as princes and princesses, would have already become the apprentices of the elf lord, and at the same time could use magic as they wish.

Thinking of this, Viserys was full of hatred for Robert who was praised by the people, and he even missed those elves who appeared suddenly.

As the saying goes, it is better to condemn others than to reflect on yourself!

If those elves could have appeared earlier, the Targaryen family might not have perished, and he and his sister would not have to live a life of being dependent on others like they are now.

The case is solved, all of this is the fault of the elves!
"Those damn elves, I am at odds with them!"

Illyrio, who was thinking about how to talk to the elf next to him:?
——— Wang Ling, Black Tower Academy
A month passed quickly, and just outside this towering black tower not far from King's Landing, countless human craftsmen were busy building a castle for the elves.

Since he obtained a large amount of taxes from the trade with the elves, Robert generously summoned all the artisans in the king's territory to Rohan, and at the same time sent a large amount of stone and strategic materials.

And Luohan naturally reciprocated, not only arranging for the elves' army to retreat to the land of eternal winter after the construction of the black tower, but also customizing a magic crown for the other party to refresh the mind and prolong life, which set off waves all over the country There was a huge wave.

After all, the nobles cherish their lives, and such magic props that can slightly increase their lifespan are completely worth their money to buy.

If it weren't for the fact that the magic items were not for sale by the elves, and the elves' army suppressed them, the crazy nobles would have flocked to the Black Tower Academy long ago!

However, this is exactly what Rohan wants to achieve.

After all, if they didn't offer some benefits to lure those nobles, how could they go bankrupt and support them?

ding ding ding-

In the Black Tower Academy, which had begun to take shape, a blond lion cub was standing shirtless on the training ground. From the sweat stains on the ground and trembling legs, it was not difficult to see that his body had reached its limit.

He was Prince Joffrey who was accepted as an apprentice by Rohan. At this time, he was holding a wooden sword in both hands, and he kept waving at Rohan who was not far away:

"Yeah!"

Facing Joffrey's reckless attack without any skill at all, Rohan couldn't help sighing, then gently moved his body sideways, and then stretched out his foot to catch the opponent's calf.

And Joffrey obviously didn't expect that his attack with all his strength would be resolved so easily, and he fell to the ground in an instant.

plop~
Looking at Joffrey who was close to coma, Lohan picked it up from the ground casually, and then took him to a cool place next to him to rest, while teaching him somewhat harshly:

"Although your current body is not yet fully developed, you should still use your strengths as much as possible, that is, to use your flexibility to attack quickly and fiercely."

Hearing Rohan's teaching, Joffrey resisted his sore body and climbed up from the chair. A trace of expectation flashed across his dusty face and asked:

"As long as I can make good use of my advantages, can I beat you?"

"With your current human body, even if you can master all the knowledge of sword skills I taught you, at most you can only kill humans like the Devil Mountain, and you will still be worse than elves after all."

"Ah? Then I won't be able to surpass you in this life?"

Joffrey sighed secretly. Although Lohan's training during this period had indeed made him a lot stronger, it also allowed him to see the powerful strength of this elf lord.

And after holding the elven rapier in his hand, His Royal Highness was humiliated by Luohan on the ground more than a dozen times, and finally withdrew his pride, and began to learn from Luohan seriously.

Of course, this is not because he wants to know how to govern the country, nor is it because he intends to become an excellent fighter. After all, he has not had such great ideals when he just received Luohan's education.

He just simply hoped that he could learn powerful swordsmanship, and then humiliated and revenged himself by pressing Luohan to the ground.

However, it seems that this simple and unpretentious dream will never be realized...

"I always feel that you are thinking about some excessive things. You should follow me and learn from me honestly, and work hard to become a qualified monarch."

Seeing that Joffrey showed a rebellious and regretful look, Luohan couldn't help reaching out and rubbing the other's golden hair, and he didn't stop until the other's hair turned into a bird's nest.

After getting along for this period of time, he found that Joffrey was actually a relatively simple child, but he was purely bad because of his mother's over-spoilment.

After all, human beings are inherently evil.

Because no one taught Joffrey how to distinguish between good and bad since he was a child, and every time he did something bad, someone would deal with the aftermath, which made his style more and more unscrupulous.

However, it was precisely this kind of personality that made Joffrey have a good relationship with some Drucci fighters during this period, which had to be said to be an expected accident.

Looking up at the sun that had gradually started to set in the sky, Rohan looked at Joffrey who had gradually begun to rest beside him and said with a smile:
"That's the end of today's training. Don't miss the culture class and etiquette study in the evening, otherwise I will tell your mother your grades."

"No, why don't we continue to practice swordsmanship?"

Recalling the poor performance in the cultural class during this period, the woodcutter's little face suddenly turned pale, and then he took Luohan's arm and begged:

"Master, didn't you say that my talents in magic and swordsmanship are far superior to written ones, so shouldn't I focus on these two areas instead of wasting time on complicated cultural lessons?"

Just a few weeks ago, the three golden retriever brothers and sisters had accepted the test papers that Lohan had arranged for him, and at the same time reported their test results to Robert and Cersei.

It has to be said that compared to his brother who burns books and defrauds scholars, Myrcella and Tommen's performance made Luohan quite satisfied, after all, they both reached the passing line.

Joffrey, who scored 5 points in the test, showed his scumbag nature. He didn't care what kind of threat these paper scores might bring to him, and returned home calmly.

In his opinion, these achievements can't prove anything at all. Does the wisdom of Joffrey, the emperor of the ages, need to be proved by the so-called examination papers?

As long as I go back and cry, make trouble and hang myself in front of my mother, then the so-called grade problem will definitely be easily solved!
But when he returned to the Red Castle and saw his 'father' sitting on the Iron Throne holding a bamboo stick and waiting for him, Joffrey immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

And the queen mother who always doted on him didn't help him for some reason, but just sat calmly by the side and sewed clothes for herself leisurely, watching him being taken off his pants and spanking.

That night, the prince's cries resounded throughout the Red Keep.

After waiting for many days, Joffrey learned from Cersei that Lohan had already filed a complaint with the villains, and reported to them all Joffrey's performance in the academy during that time, which almost didn't He said he was the second mad king!
And Robert, who was still preparing to hold a party because of the abundance of the treasury, decisively chose to take a precious break from the party after learning of Rohan's evaluation, and drunkenly held a wicker to guard Joffrey on the Iron Throne.

As for Cersei...

Although she really felt sorry for Joffrey, considering the envelope that Rohan wrote to herself some time ago, she finally chose to stand on the sidelines:
Ma'am, you don't want your son to become the second mad king, do you?
Considering that during this period of time, Rohan had provided the Red Castle with a lot of elven accessories, plus some special potions for beauty, she had no choice but to give up protecting Joffrey.

Sorry son, he gave too much~
Under such circumstances, Joffrey, who has completely lost the shame of Cersei, can only stay in the academy miserably, and continue to develop in the direction of a good young man.
