#468 - Chapter 202: Discussion at Storm's End
Liu Yuan was silent for a moment: "Varys is a smart man. He must know something about my forces overseas. Our relationship is almost common knowledge. Eliminating me, along with the out-of-control Faith of the Seven, is the most efficient way. If I die, you will lose a major support. The forces spread across various regions are likely to fall apart, giving them a chance to win over some of them. At the same time, the responsibility for my death and the destruction of the church will be attributed to the Red Keep, and everyone will be hostile to the Iron Throne. Aegon, raising the banner of the Targaryen family, will capture King's Landing in advance and legitimately become the King of Westeros. As long as they firmly grasp the legitimacy, you will only have two choices: the first is to return to Essos and continue to be your Queen of Meereen; the second is to marry Aegon and rule Westeros and overseas territories with him."
Daenerys clenched her fists, her face full of anger, and said, "These extremely hateful guys are so unscrupulous and use every means to win! They completely disregard the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of King's Landing citizens. This behavior is simply intolerable and heinous!"
Liu Yuan sighed helplessly and said slowly, "This is the cruel and ruthless power struggle. In order to ascend to the final peak throne, those in high positions and wielding great power simply do not care about the lives of ordinary people. If you are unwilling to collude with them, you can only bravely break through the existing constraints and restrictions. Only by uprooting and completely eradicating those old and decaying forces can you have the opportunity to build a new order and restore peace and tranquility to this world."
Daenerys nodded thoughtfully, expressing her approval: "You are right, but what should I do to successfully achieve this grand goal?"
Liu Yuan's lips curled up, revealing a meaningful smile, and he replied softly, "Currently, the most important thing is to wholeheartedly raise the children and give them ample time to gather their forces. Only in this way will those enemies who have been lurking in the dark corners gradually reveal their true colors. And once we win an overwhelming victory in the upcoming decisive battle and defeat and eradicate them in one fell swoop, no one will dare to stand up and openly resist when you implement various reforms in the future."
"I knew these things couldn't stump you. Do you want me to give you some rewards?" Daenerys charmingly sat in his arms, her beautiful and charming eyes entwining him like silk threads, gently hooking his neck and giving him a sweet and hot kiss.
Liu Yuan smiled and gently patted her full and round buttocks, and said softly, "Don't be naughty, Dany. Tyrion and the others are still waiting for me anxiously in the conference room. Besides, your current physical condition is not suitable for this."
Daenerys licked her lips with her tongue, her eyes revealing a hint of cunning and desire: "Then let them wait a little longer! Anyway, it won't matter. Besides, we have other ways to enjoy this beautiful moment..." As she spoke, her fingers began to gently roam across Liu Yuan's chest.

Inside Storm's End, the atmosphere was heavy and tense. Aegon VI frowned, vigorously shaking the thick report in his hand, and looked seriously at the several important officials in front of him, asking, "Have you all read this information carefully? Is this really not a joke?"
Varys, who had now become a one-eyed dragon, stepped forward and replied in a low and firm voice, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. This is the analysis result I rushed out overnight based on the existing intelligence. Although much of the information is missing and not detailed enough, I can guarantee that my analysis is at least 80% accurate."
Aegon VI rubbed his temples while muttering to himself, "The scale of my aunt's army alone is nearly 100,000 people! They still have more than 40,000 Dothraki cavalry in Pentos, and Marquis Garon has at least 50,000 troops that have not yet been dispatched. With such a disparity in military strength, how do you tell me to fight this battle?" His words were filled with deep worry and fear.
At this time, Illyrio looked distressed and lamented, "This is why I have always firmly opposed allying with the Red Keep! Among these three forces, our military strength is the weakest. We should not stand firmly against Daenerys."
Arianne then said, "Then what should we do? Should we wait for her to wipe out Little Tommen in King's Landing and then turn around to deal with us? Should we just bow down to Daenerys and obediently offer the power we hold in our hands?"
Jon Connington immediately retorted loudly, "Absolutely not! Aegon is the the eldest son born of the legal wife of Prince Rhaegar and is the rightful heir to the Targaryen family. According to the law, a prince has a higher priority of inheritance than a princess. Daenerys should be loyal to His Majesty."
Oberyn Martell suggested, "Daenerys is currently in Highgarden. The Prime Minister might as well go and try to persuade her to voluntarily give up the struggle for the throne. In this way, we can end the war in Westeros, and we can all go home."
Varys looked seriously at the two people in front of him and slowly said, "My lords, in my opinion, at this moment, we must unite closely! Admittedly, we may be able to choose to surrender, but His Majesty must not do so. After all, the struggle for the throne has always been extremely cruel and bloody. We must not have any mercy on Daenerys. Since we have already decided to fight for the supreme throne, we should never be unwilling or have any wishful thinking. We should go all out and do our best. Not only should we gather all the forces that can be united, but even the church cannot be an exception."
Arianne nodded slightly, expressing her agreement with Varys's words, and then said, "The Master of Whisperers is right. We should not have any wishful thinking. Uncle Oberyn, please return to Sunspear yourself and take Little Mors with you. In addition, please tell my father the situation here in detail and try to win the support of other Dornish families in order to gather a larger army."
Oberyn spread his hands helplessly and responded with a wry smile, "Alright! Arianne, I can go back and try. But Little Mors is only a few months old. Are you really willing to let him leave?"
Arianne's eyes were firm, and she replied without hesitation, "Daenerys has already defeated the Iron Fleet, and her fleet may blockade this place at any time. In the future, Storm's End is very likely to become a battlefield. Little Mors is more dangerous here."
