Chapter 156 Harvest Banquet

However, the current feudal system is actually mainly due to the fact that Andalos does not have the deep-rooted aristocratic tradition as Westeros.

The ancient Andal kingdoms and Roina kingdoms in this land have long been defeated by the Valyrian Freehold.

The group of Andal nobles and Royna nobles fled to death and fled to Westeros in large numbers.

Later, this land began to develop into subordinate city-states such as Norvos, which were subject to the Valyrian Freehold.

In the end, after the "Wrath of the Gods" was dropped in the Valyrian Free Fortress, they became independent free trade city-states one by one.

Because of these various reasons, there has been a serious break in the culture and inheritance of the two ethnic groups. The nobility of the ancient inheritance has disappeared, leaving only the villages that have lived on this land for generations, and have never been reunited.

Therefore, Viserys did not encounter serious resistance from the traditional feudal forces after formulating the new system.

Moreover, although the area of ​​Andalos can rival that of one area, it is still within the controllable range. With the rapid expansion of the kingdom’s territory, there may be a possibility that the central command cannot be transmitted to the remote areas in the future, causing the border to get out of control. .

But those are not things that Viserys needs to consider now. What he has to do now is to try to unite Andalus into a fist, waiting for the challenge that the Iron Throne is ready to launch.

Instead of dispersing his power like the Seven Kingdoms, it eventually led to a mess.

The harvest banquet is staggered, and the emerging nobles in this land are connecting with each other.

After the meal was full, the servants swept away the leftovers, and then piled all the tables aside, and the whole hall turned into a ballroom in an instant.

The programs that have been prepared for a long time are staged one after another, including singing and dancing, juggling, and clowns, and finally even a magic trick.

The red-robed witch sitting not far from Viserys sat quietly on the seat, watching a red-robed monk below breathing fire.

The red-robed monk's clothes were loose and the sleeves were large. He danced with his hands and feet, as if he was jumping a big rope and inadvertently covered some of his face with his robe sleeves. The monk's robe sleeves were lowered.

next second.

huh~

A mouthful of red flames spewed out, and the intense firelight illuminated everyone's cheeks, which immediately aroused the exclamations of many ladies present.

Renice raised her hand and covered her mouth, her eyes flashing with surprise and wonder. In her opinion, this is simply a miracle, isn't it only a dragon that can spit out flames?

"Viserys, is this man a dragon?"

Renice patted Viserys' thigh a little excitedly after being surprised, and asked curiously.

"It's just a folk technique."

Viserys shook his head slightly. He was not surprised by this kind of acrobatics, because he had seen it many times in his previous life.

Melisandre, who was not far away, seemed to hear their whispers and turned her head to look at Viserys and Reness, but she focused on Reness. He paused for a while, and then some thoughtfully retracted his gaze.

The red-robed monk, who had finished the performance below, bowed slightly to the king on the stage, and then gestured to the red-robed witch before retreating.

The believers who have seen these Lords of Light perform these magic tricks are very calm, and those who have not seen such scenes are shouting. It seems that this performance has really opened their eyes.

After the performance, the next stage is the dance.

The band that had just finished the show went back and forth, now preparing a new set of music and costumes, and playing the instruments again.

Accompanied by the melodious music, the servants walked in with glasses of fine wine, and the nobles below also found dance partners to dance gracefully, and even some nobles temporarily brought over a maid who was pouring wine as their dance partner.

And Viserys took a sip of the milk in the glass and there were a few red things floating on it, and the pair of lavender eyes below were still calm.

This is one of the differences between him and his brother, Prince Rhaegar, Viserys can be said to know nothing about musical instruments and dancing.

And at this time.

Viserys saw that a few older middle-aged nobles wanted to invite Melisandre to dance together, but was politely declined by the witch in red.

Then Renice, who was sitting next to him, didn't know which one was suddenly wrong, and took Viserys' hand and wanted to dance with him.

Viserys was slightly stunned, but he couldn't resist the expectant look of the brown-haired girl, and in the end he had to dance with Renice.

Afterwards, although the dance was not very good, it still won the applause of the audience.

soon.

This harvest banquet is coming to an end.

After Viserys and the nobles raised a glass, a guard hurried to his side and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Oh?"

"Still such a thing?"

Then Viserys got up from his seat.

"Viserys, what happened?"

Renice gave him a strange look, and was about to stand up with her skirt and follow, but was held down by Viserys.

"It's okay, you are here."

"I have a little thing."

Then Viserys followed the guards out of the hall.

Tread

The silent corridor was completely different from the hustle and bustle in the hall, except for the footsteps of the guards and Viserys.

"Where is that child?"

Viserys' face was calm, and the lampstands in the castle corridors were burning with flames, the flames illuminating half of his cheeks, while the other half was still immersed in darkness.

"Your Majesty, this way."

The guards were leading the way forward, and at the same time explained.

"Just now, a brother and I were on duty outside the gate, and then a child came out of nowhere, threw a letter tied with a stone, and then turned around and ran away."

"But we chased after him and quickly caught the kid back, and then he said this letter was for you."

Tread…

The footsteps of two people echoed in the corridor, talking as they walked, and gradually drifted away.

And Viserys frowned slightly when he heard what the guard said. He always felt that this kind of thing seemed like a prank.

"Where did this child get this letter?"

The guards did not hesitate to hear Viserys' question, as they had already asked when they had just caught each other.

"In a place called the Silver Eel Inn, Your Majesty."

"A mysterious man gave this child some silver deer and asked him to pass this letter to you."
