Chapter 400 Pregnancy

This piece of news was like a blockbuster in the city of Pantos, and it immediately caused an uproar.

When the news was leaked, countless people, mercenaries and sailors of Pantos who went out of the city and outside the city couldn't help discussing it, and even raised a glass for His Majesty the King in the tavern.

The leader has an heir, which is the best insurance for the entire force to protect the interests of everyone.

Viserys became famous at a young age, and shouldered the heavy responsibility of reviving the Targaryen family. Then, as he moved forward step by step, countless interest groups have gathered under the banner of Targaryen. Everyone relies on this. Dine with a big flag.

From Pentos to Andalos, from the Sentinel Tower to the Norvos Mountains, from the Andals, the Roina, and the Dothraki, the Unsullied, the Golden Company, and more.

However, Viserys became famous too early, at a young age, in a high position, and the shortcomings of having no children were exposed long ago.

For the leader of a force and the king of a country, having no heirs is a very dangerous thing. Everyone's interests cannot be guaranteed, and a seemingly powerful country can easily fall apart at one time.

As before, Aquaman Braavos secretly sent the Faceless to assassinate Viserys.

Their enemies knew that the greatest weakness of the now seemingly unstoppable House Targaryens lay in Viserys himself.

If Viserys died suddenly, then the Targaryen family would easily fall into a split without any successors. After all, the two princesses were both dragon knights and orthodox Targaryen heirs.

Renice is a few years older, has the title of the eldest princess, has a wealth of regent experience, and has the support of Dorn and other soldiers behind her.

Although Daenerys is young, her bloodline is purer than that of Reness. She has a better reputation among the people with the title of Mother of Dragons, and also has the support of many Andal soldiers who were the first to follow Viserys.

However, all of this is based on the fact that Viserys has been childless.

If Viserys once had an heir and all his problems were solved, his heir would only be his descendant, and he would be supported by all his ministers.

Inside the Nine Towers Palace.

Now that Viserys and Rhaenys have left one after another, Pentos has entered the era of Daenerys' reign.

"Respected Stormborn, Mother of Dragons, Her Royal Highness Princess Daenerys Targaryen."

The president of the Merchant Guild under the stage was crawling on the ground, calling out Daenerys' name aloud.

Not long ago, there was a conflict between the Merchant Guild and the laborers in the port, mainly because of issues such as wages and working hours.

Pentos did not explicitly prohibit the abolition of slavery, so the slave problem still existed in the city, and in addition to slaves, there were a large number of workers.

The contradiction this time mainly comes from a previous smashing incident.

The silver-haired girl sat on the throne where Viserys and Rhaenys once sat, with a golden crown on her head and a little fidgeting, her pretty little face full of nervousness.

Now Daenerys is at an age where she can't sit still, but her brother just dumped this mess directly on himself.

After listening to the defense of the Merchant Guild President and the cry of the labor representative, Daenerys took a deep breath.

A pair of beautiful lavender eyes looked at the former Prime Minister Jon Clinton beside her as if asking for help. She didn't understand what was being said on both sides.

The man with gray-red hair was wearing the golden hand of the king medal. He felt the request of Her Royal Highness the princess and thought for a while, and then said.

"The treatment of 20% of the workers can be improved, and the working hours can be appropriately reduced."

The laborers demanded that the merchants pay double the wages, otherwise it would not be enough to live in the expensive city of Pentos.

However, Jon Clinton did not support this request after thinking for a while, but he still properly asked the businessmen to restrain themselves from being greedy.

There are several main reasons. The first businessman is still the main taxpayer of Pantos.

It is impossible for city officials to receive taxes from ordinary laborers, and they can only rely on merchants, but the rise in commodity prices also collects taxes from laborers in disguise.

The second is the issue of slavery. In fact, the price of slaves is not cheap, but if the price of labor rises too sharply, such as asking for a 100% increase, then merchants would rather pay high prices to buy slaves than hire cheap labor.

This is not good for the stability of the city and the healthy development of the economy.

The Pantos government still encouraged merchants to hire labor instead of buying slaves. Slavery was a threat to the development of the country and the centralization of power.

Coupled with the current direction of His Majesty's ruling...

"The abolition of slavery is imperative, but the resistance to change is not small."

Jon Clinton made a decision, and the business representative bowed slightly, accepted the result and backed away.

The labor representative was somewhat dissatisfied, but seeing the cold eyes of the heavily armed Unsullied soldiers around him, he could only shrink his neck and say a word of thanks to Her Royal Highness for the ruling, and then retreated.

After the business representatives and labor representatives retired, Jon Clinton patiently explained to Daenerys why he had to make such a decision.

In the final analysis, the kingship still represents the interests of the great nobles, but it is not complete, and rule is the foundation.

Daenerys nodded understandingly.

Then another noble suggested that Princess Arianne Martell's pregnancy with Pentos should be celebrated.

This not only marks the successor to House Targaryen, but also proves that His Majesty the King 'can'.

Even if the child eventually miscarried, everyone would have taken a reassurance pill. After all, they had been waiting for this reassurance pill for a long time.

Arianne has been pregnant for two months. She didn't pay much attention to the lack of menstruation in the last month. However, the relatives still did not come in the second month. After the maid reminded her, she remembered to check, and then she got the good news. .

Whether Arianne will give birth to a princess or a prince for Viserys is something to celebrate.

The wedding of the corresponding two people should also be put on the agenda. Viserys originally planned to hold the wedding in King's Landing after the unification of the Seven Kingdoms, but now it seems that it may be too late.

Now that Viserys is still fighting the White Walkers in Westeros, of course he doesn't know anything about his sudden fatherhood.

And Daenerys is still young, and she seems a little ignorant about the matter of men and women and the fact that her brother is about to have a child.

But in the end, under everyone's attention, he nodded slightly and agreed.

Oberyn wrote a handwritten letter to tell his brother, Prince Doran, the good news.

At this moment, a few snowflakes suddenly floated outside the window.

Oberyn stared blankly at the scene outside the window with a quill in hand.
