Chapter 253 - Chapter 254 - The Ruby Throne (II)

"Three suns rose to heaven that day, as did the three goddesses of House Targaryen." Kinvara's thoughts at the end of the speech.

--------------

"Kinvara, I'll leave the religious speech to you." Visenya spoke in a calm tone, her eyes fixed on the enormous ruby floating beside her. She could feel the gentle warmth bathing her figure.

After the Black Sun rose and never left, the days were getting colder and colder. Snow and ice could be seen accumulating every day, showing that the temperature was reaching a deadly point.

If Aenar hadn't made the Three Artificial Suns, she could predict that there would have been mass deaths from freezing.

"Don't worry, Light of the Imperium. I will make everyone convert to the God-Emperor of Mankind." Kinvara bowed and replied with a respectful and confident tone. She looked at the increasingly large belly of the woman before her with a bright gaze, her God's Daughter would be magnificent like her father.

Visenya nodded and caressed her belly with a tender look. She could feel her daughter increasingly curious about the outside. Yes, curious. A baby who hadn't even completed eight months was looking at the outside with curiosity.

Although she knew that her daughter with Aenar would be special, she didn't expect her to be that special. Sometimes, Visenya was even a little scared by her daughter's intelligence.

But that fear disappeared the next moment, remembering that her daughter was the fruit of her love with Aenar. How could she be afraid of her daughter? Regardless of how special she was, she was still her daughter.

"Will you be as mischievous as Daenerys?" Visenya murmured to herself with a smile. Daenerys was the most lively child on the planet, she just hoped her daughter would be a little calmer.

However, to Visenya's surprise, she felt a small hand touch her hand that was caressing her belly. After the surprise, a smile appeared on the woman's lips. Her daughter had responded.

"Let's begin." Standing up, Visenya said with a calm and elegant smile. Like Aenar, she was about to accept the idea that she was a goddess. A goddess of the Golden Lineage.

Kinvara nodded and followed the Light of the Imperium with calm steps. Red Priestesses surrounded the queen while the Sardaukar formed the third line of defense.

Visenya noticed this, but said nothing. It can be said that after she found out she was pregnant, everyone protected her as if they were afraid that at the slightest touch, she would suffer an injury.

"A queen's duty..." Visenya murmured, feeling that people were paying more attention to her than Daenerys and Rhaenys. The reason for this was obvious, the Heiress of the Imperium was in her womb.

When she was about to leave King's Landing, Visenya saw Daenerys and Rhaenys with their respective guards.

Daenerys was surrounded by gentle and elegant-looking handmaidens. Visenya knew that this was the power Aenar had given her younger sister. The Daughters of the Emperor. Rhaenys, on the other hand, was surrounded by olive-skinned men, the elite soldiers of Dorne, trained by Rhaenys's uncle, Oberyn.

Honestly, Visenya didn't like her niece's personal guard. Having strangers who hadn't received Aenar's indoctrination was somewhat risky, especially at this moment. But, like her, Rhaenys was a queen and as Aenar had said, all three had equal powers.

Although Visenya felt she had more power, especially with the Red Faith and the Sardaukar following her.

Seeing Visenya's arrival, Daenerys's and Rhaenys's eyes looked at her large entourage with helpless gazes. Being pregnant with Aenar's Heiress, Visenya was arguably more important in everyone's eyes, including nobles and commoners.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the Sardaukar didn't protect Daenerys, Rhaenys, and Rhaella, on the contrary, the King's Personal Guard actually protected all the queens, even if they were distant (Twenty meters).

"Sorry for the delay." Approaching Daenerys and Rhaenys, Visenya apologized sincerely. Being a pregnant woman was somewhat laborious, especially with hygiene care.

"It's alright." Neither Daenerys nor Rhaenys complained and perfectly understood their Sister/aunt's situation.

With the three queens reunited, the entire entourage began to move towards the city square, where a crowd of people was already eagerly waiting. Fortunately, the Sardaukar maintained order in the torch-lit area.

"There are many people." Daenerys commented, noticing the immense crowd below as they descended the long steps of Aegon's Hill. Even if the torches couldn't illuminate much, the crowd of people could still be seen, even if only somewhat confused shadows.

"It's the first speech after the beginning of the Long Night, it's normal for this to happen." Rhaenys said, looking curiously at the gigantic number of people. She estimated that at least a third of King's Landing's entire population was present.

Visenya agreed with Rhaenys's words, the people were really eager for news. After all, there was a gigantic black sun in the sky at that moment. Anyone would panic, especially after a month without any response from the rulers.

'Fortunately, the chaos would calm down enormously.' Visenya thought, seeing the ruby floating around her, as if orbiting the sun.

After a while, when the three queens ascended the wooden stage prepared for them. Looking at the sea of people below them, the three women had to admit, it was suffocating to be before so many people.

Fortunately, Kinvara's loud, gentle, and graceful voice sounded, calming her turbulent feelings.

"May God bless you." The voice spread to almost two hundred thousand people, silencing everyone.

"The Long Night has come, evil gods have taken our light, bringing chaos and death to our loved ones." Kinvara knew how to influence people, especially in times of need.

Create a cruel, frightening, and murderous enemy, then promote a good, gentle, and merciful god.

"Damn evil gods!!!" A man shouted loudly. Soon after, other people began to curse the gods.

At that moment, the herd effect began to gain strength as never before. Hundreds of thousands of people vented their fears, anger, and resentment. They had been full of fear for an entire month, the stress of such a thing could not be simple.

With Kinvara's words, all this accumulated stress exploded at once, making King's Landing practically become a blasphemous city before the millions of inhabitants of Essos.

"However, the God-Emperor of Mankind showed mercy to the world, bringing salvation to our sinful souls..."

"He gave us the sun again." Kinvara's words silenced the crowd again. The eyes of hundreds of thousands of people focused on her in an instant.

Hearing Kinvara's words, Visenya, Daenerys, and Rhaenys held the enormous rubies the size of basketballs and pointed them towards the sky.

Under the wide eyes of the commoners, who only thought they were noble torches, the three rubies rose to the sky leaving trails of particles behind. In an instant, the darkness that covered King's Landing disappeared in an instant.

Three dazzling lights shone in the sky, before the darkness was dissipated and the gentle warmth swept the ice and snow from the city. It seemed that a blind man had regained his sight, everyone just watched the three suns over King's Landing with fascination.

Many opened their arms and enjoyed the warmth again after a month. They never thought that something like sunlight was so precious before, but now they perfectly understood the importance of light.

"At the request of the Three Goddesses, who pitied humanity's ruinous fate, the God-Emperor of Mankind accepted the request of his three wives and gave them suns so that humanity could finally flourish again." As soon as Kinvara's words sounded, everyone's eyes focused entirely on the three women.

Under the shocked eyes of Visenya, Daenerys, and Rhaenys, they watched the crowd simply bowing to the limit towards them.

How could they, who had always been under Aenar's protection, know of the despair, fear, and terror in the first month of the Long Night?

Their act, besides being mythical, was simply a true miracle on earth. Who besides the gods could create three suns?

Visenya, Daenerys, and Rhaenys felt shivers run through their bodies, this feeling of no longer being human was simply terrifying, but remembering Aenar's words and the pain he was suffering, they showed determined expressions and looked at the kneeling praying crowd with firm gazes.
