Chapter 184: Nephew is mighty

In the Red Castle, King Tommen looked at his mother who had been sitting in front of the window after sending the letter to Dragonstone, and there was not much sympathy on his face.

Ever since his mother Cersei restarted the Warrior Son and arrested his queen Margaery the Rose and put her in the dungeon despite his pleading, Tommen no longer has much affection for his mother.

In her eyes, she was just a puppet, a puppet like a stumbling block.

Even though Margaery was released after Highgarden sent troops to the Vale, Tommen was not happy.

Besides, Margaret no longer had the same enthusiasm for him as before, and was only alienated from him.

When he saw Daenerys's black dragon resisting crossbow arrows and wreaking havoc on the walls of King's Landing, he not only did not feel any fear or heartache, but even felt a hint of pleasure, the pleasure of the black dragon avenging his mother on his behalf.

Just as he was looking at his mother Cersei's back with mixed emotions, a guard was hurriedly walking towards him at the end of the aisle, and Tommen knew that the reply from Dragonstone had arrived.

Cersei sat in the chair with a dull look on her face as she watched Daenerys agree to her request for a ceasefire, but she did not show any joy on her face.

When Drogon burned down the east gate of King's Landing and left after threatening her, Cersei convened an emergency meeting at the request of her uncle Kevan and other members of the King's Council.

Due to Euron's absence, everyone except Cersei and Qyburn agreed that Daenerys's request for a ceasefire should be fully agreed to and troops should be sent to the North immediately.

Cersei insisted on sending only half of her troops and asked Daenerys to release Jaime.

Cersei knew that leaving half or one-third of the troops in King's Landing would make little difference in the face of Daenerys's powerful black dragon.

But she still stubbornly insisted on sending only half of her troops, and she didn't know why she insisted like this.

Maybe this will make her feel more secure, or maybe she just doesn't want to completely obey the demands of Queen Daenerys.

As for Jaime, she suddenly missed having him by her side and hoped that he would come back to her again after leading the King's Landing army to defeat the White Walkers.

She had no doubt that Jaime would be able to return safely after the battle with the White Walkers.

After witnessing the black dragon's terrifying fire power and strong defense, she did not think that the White Walkers could stop his attack.

Of course, she hoped that Daenerys' army could fight the Army of the Dead to a mutual defeat.

Even if the Night King could kill the black dragon, she had no confidence in him after seeing how powerful the black dragon was.

She knew that once the army of the dead was destroyed, Daenerys's triumphant return would be the day when King's Landing would change hands.

...

The next morning, Duskendale, a small port town located between Dragonstone and King's Landing, was the place where the armistice agreement was signed.

In a simple small square, representatives from Dragonstone and King's Landing were all present, with only Daenerys and Cersei left.

Five minutes later, a huge figure flew from the sky in the distance, with Daenerys sitting on its back.

Seeing Daenerys coming, Tyrion and others who were sitting on the chairs stood up.

Drogon landed in an open space next to the square, spread his wings and let Daenerys get off the dragon's back.

After Daenerys sat down in the main seat, Tyrion came over and whispered a few words to her.

After Tyrion finished speaking, Daenerys looked across in surprise. As expected, she didn't see Cersei. She didn't expect that Cersei, as the regent queen mother, would not come to participate in the signing of the armistice agreement.

Although the agreement is valid as long as the king is there, Daenerys always feels like something is missing when she can't see Cersei.

While Tyrion and Daenerys were talking, Drogon also looked across. He was a little surprised not to see Cersei, and he probably guessed why she didn't come.

This time it was called an armistice agreement, but King's Landing was forced to sign it, which was equivalent to half a surrender agreement. This was really unacceptable to Cersei, who was very proud of herself, so she simply did not come and let her son and uncle do the embarrassing thing.

When everyone was present, the four people from both sides, Daenerys, Tyrion, Tommen, and Kevan, came to the long table, and Tyrion drafted a ceasefire agreement on the spot.

Looking at his uncle Kevan across the table, Tyrion forced a smile.

Although his uncle Kevan had never paid attention to him since he was a child, he did not regard him as a thorn in his side like his father Tywin did, and the relationship between the two sides could be said to be very ordinary.

Although Tyrion had no thoughts about Kevan, Kevan felt very emotional when he saw Tyrion wearing the Hand of the King brooch.

Although Tyrion was once pushed to the position of Hand of the King in King's Landing by his brother Tywin, Kevan did not take it seriously, thinking that it was all gained by relying on his identity as the son of the Lannister patriarch.

But now he has become Daenerys's Hand of the Queen on his own ability.

After witnessing the power of Daenerys' black dragon, Kevan has lost confidence in the Lannister's fight for the Iron Throne.

And when Daenerys reigns over the world, only Tyrion, her nephew whom she has never valued, can continue the Lannister family.

It is hard to say whether he, including his niece Cersei, and other Lannisters will be alive by then.

Tyrion drafted the agreement and gave it to Daenerys to read over first. After finding no problems, he passed it to his uncle Kevan and then to his nephew Tommen.

After everyone had checked it and found no problems, Tyrion made another copy and asked Daenerys and Tommen to each sign and seal one.

The two exchanged their signatures and stamped their documents again, and the agreement was reached!

After the agreement was reached, Jaime, who had packed up after coming out of the dungeon, also came to the long table to discuss how to send troops to the North.

Tyrion and others have roughly discussed the marching plan and plan to march into the North in three routes.

It is very convenient to march all the way by sea, reach White Harbor in the Bay of the Bite in the North, and then go down the White Knife to Winterfell.

The land cavalry was the vanguard, marching north first, and the infantry followed slowly behind.

After Euron's death, the Ironborn were temporarily led by Euron's brother Victarion. This time, they were all sent out by Cersei to follow the fleet led by Daario to the North by sea.

Yara also brought news a few days ago that she had successfully recovered the Iron Islands. After stabilizing the Iron Islands, she continued to move north and landed at Saltspear Beach northwest of the Neck to reach the North.

The Dragonstone cavalry, led by Jorah and the Dothraki, went ahead.

Naturally, the most anxious family was the Stark family after hearing the news of the Death Army invading the North.

That is their territory, and their vassals and subjects are being killed by the White Walkers and turned into wights. You can imagine how they feel.

After learning that the Wall had fallen, Robb requested to go to the North first. After getting Daenerys's permission, they set off immediately. Now they are estimated to have crossed the Neck.

The 5,000 troops sent by the Vale set out after Robb. As one of the Seven Kingdoms, the Vale also received a letter for help from the Night's Watch.

After receiving the news that Dragonstone and King's Landing would send heavy troops to the North, they also sent out 5,000 people.
