Chapter 168 Melisandre's Crisis

Dorne, Sunspear.

After drifting at sea for more than two months, Obaya and her boyfriend Bronn finally arrived at their destination.

There were endless wars on land, so they chose to return by sea, and because the Redwyne fleet blocked the throat and Dragonstone Island when they set off, the two of them and several Dornish guards had to go to sea from Maidenquan City in the north, and drifted all the way to Pentos, went south again by boat, and arrived here after a long circle.

Obara met her father, Prince Oberon, without formality, and they met in the study of the Old Palace.

"This is my future husband, Bronn." Sand Snake first introduced her boyfriend to his father.

In order to leave a good impression on the prince, the young couple specially made some decent high-end clothes for Bronn in Pentos.

Now the lucky Bronn was wearing a dark gold brocade robe, and an indigo cloak hung behind him, fastened by an unmarked brooch.Well-fitting and expensive clothes, as well as a neatly trimmed beard and hair, make him look like a northern lord.

But who is the Red Viper?How can a person who has wandered from Xuecheng to Essos and back again all his life not see the details of Bronn?

At least the brooch without a logo has revealed the identity of this person by [-]% to [-]%.

Coupled with that mercenary face exposed to wind and sun, Prince Oberon had already guessed part of the truth.

"Very good, as long as you like it." The Red Viper didn't get entangled in these matters, "I heard that Arianne went to the Dragon Bearer and did well?"

Only then did Obaya remember the purpose of her trip, she hurriedly took out two letters from her cousin from her bosom, and handed them to her father.

After the Red Viper quickly read it, he ordered his daughter to stay, and then went to the Flowing Water Garden to discuss business matters with his brother.

After the prince left, Bronn nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that your father doesn't object to our marriage."

He was not much younger than Prince Oberon, and it was time to consider getting married.

Obara leaned close to her boyfriend, chattering about love, and the two were about to arrange a residence for Bronn, but they ran into the loveless Earl Jason Mallister.

He was grounded in the Old Palace and grew up with Prince Oberon every day.

……

Flowing garden.

After reading the letter, Prince Doran said calmly: "The gods in the sky are fair. They gave Arianne a not-so-bright brain, and at the same time gave her great luck."

Two or three months ago, Doran would never have dared to put Dorne on the dragon bearer and the people in the river, but after Cersei's magical operation made the people in the river fall to Arthur, the situation of the whole continent suddenly became clear.

"It is said that the princes of the valley are preparing to join forces to deal with Littlefinger. After the marriage between the dragon bearer and Sansa Stark, most of the problems in the north and the valley have been solved. The west is half disabled. It's so hot that Balon Swann's Reach Army doesn't even have to fight..."

Oberon briefly described the situation in Westeros.

"I think it's up to you to go to King's Landing City." Prince Doran interrupted his brother suddenly.

He is already familiar with these situations. With the support of the people of the Reach, the dragon bearers have no enemies of comparable strength on land. On the sea, part of the long ships of the Redwyne fleet control Dragonstone Island and the Throat. , King's Landing City is no longer threatened.

"It is said that Lynn Corbray died at the hands of the dragon bearer. You go to confirm it and bring back his head. We also have to attend the king's second wedding, pick a decent gift, and tell him how much En has been a loyal ally of House Targaryen."

It was no secret that House Tyrell was planning a grand wedding, and Doran decided to send his brother on behalf of House Nameros Martell.

As for Daenerys Stormborn, he has already sent his eldest son there, even if the dragon bearer fights Stormborn, he still has room to move around.

The Red Viper nodded, "According to the usual practice, we have a seat in the imperial meeting, and I will fight for it."

The two struggled for a long time on whether Arianne should enter into a marriage contract with the Dragonbearer, and finally came to the conclusion that Arianne should choose by herself.

"That Earl Jason, you must comfort him, and then ask my daughter to apologize to the dragon bearer. You have gone too far in this matter." Prince Doran asked.

Red Viper smiled slightly, "There is no problem."

Anyway, Earl Jason was reluctant, and he was about to let go.

……

Stormlands, outside Griffin's Roost.

Stannis, who had only his underwear left, was tied to a cross. During his week, a huge amount of firewood, hay and other flammable materials were piled up into hills.Several soldiers were carefully pouring sesame oil on the pyre so that it would burn faster.

Aegon VI and seven or eight senior officers of the Golden Company stared at the Deer King, and several people were discussing in low voices why Stannis was nowhere to be seen.

"It is rumored that he killed his younger brother Renly with his shadow. This is also a punishment from the gods!"

"Can you use shadows to kill people? What kind of god's miracle is this? I will immediately convert to this god."

"Maybe it's the Red God, maybe it's the Nameless God, or maybe it's the Shadowbinder's tricks, who can tell?"

Shadowbinders are a kind of wizards active in Asshai. They are extremely evil. They can cast terrifying spells at night. The red robe witch Melisandre is also a Shadowbinder.

According to Melisandre, the shadow is the servant of the light and the descendant of the flame.

The flames may refer to the ancient Valyrian gods such as Balerion, Merasis, and Vagarhar. The light refers to the obvious, which is R'hllor, the Red God of Light.

When the preparations were almost done, a black-robed man with an unclear face opened the box in his arms, took out the dragon egg, and held it in front of Aegon VI.

"Your Majesty, it belongs to you."

This is the dragon egg that Euron used to hire the Faceless to assassinate King Balon, and now it was taken out by a big man in the House of Black and White, and dedicated to Aegon VI, who has the blood of the Dragon King of Valyria .

Everyone was attracted by the priceless dragon eggs.

This is a golden and silver elliptical egg, and the small and neat scales are like gems, glowing with golden or silver light.

In the past, the dragon egg was just an egg, and it couldn't even be eaten.But after the mother of dragons hatched the dragon, the stone was unbelievably beautiful.

Tristan Hewen glanced at his gold armband, and suddenly felt that gold was just like that.

It has to be a dragon egg!
Aegon VI, in his fat robes, took a deep breath, carried the stone into the fire, and placed it at Stannis' feet.

Baratheon, whose hands and feet were tied, couldn't move. He watched the enemy and the false king's operations with hatred, and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

He is the real king, the reincarnation of Azor Ahai, the savior identified by the King of Light, how could he be captured by the false king?
Azor Ahai is the savior of the Age of Heroes. He was chosen to fight against the gods of the night. In order to kill the gods, he cast the flesh and blood of his wife Nissa Nissa into a weapon named "Lightbringer". Red Sword, and then defeated the God of the Night.

According to dozens of prophecies circulating throughout the world, Azor Ahai will be reincarnated, and then when the long summer is over and the stars weep blood, he will awaken the magic dragon in the stone and save the world again.

Of course, due to the difference in language and pronunciation, not all the names of the Savior are the same, but the pronunciation is close.

Most of the reason why Stannis thinks he is the real king is that Melisandre thinks he is the reincarnation of Azor, but what the deer king doesn't know is that Melisandre has a habit of interpreting prophecies without authorization.

She will explain the prophecy to the followers of the Lord of Light according to her own understanding, regardless of whether it is 100% true or not.

It is hard to say who the reincarnation of Azor Ahai is, but the reincarnation of his wife has appeared.

In the far east, near Slaver's Bay, hundreds of thousands of new free citizens have shouted "Misha, Misha" for a long time.

Stannis, who realized that his life was gone, looked angry, and his facial features were distorted to a terrifying degree.

Aegon VI was in a good mood, "That's how you burned people on Dragonstone Isle. I don't know what those people who were burned by you would think. I heard that you also killed your own brother. The gods will curse you Dear..."

A false king was about to be killed, and Aegon VI was full of pride.

The Iron Throne is mine, Aunt Daenerys is mine, and the Seven Kingdoms are mine.

He turned and walked down the fire, no longer complaining and cursing at Stannis.

After a few breaths, the soldiers lit the big fire, and soon, the screams of the Shadowless King spread all around.

……

Harrenhal, Hall of the Hundred Hearths.

As the saying goes, a little farewell is better than a newlywed. In the case of Arthur and Sansa, they were both newlyweds and a little farewell, and they fell in love as soon as they met.

But Arthur still knew that the situation was important, so he first summoned the nobles who stayed here.

In less than a month, their king had changed from King of the Rivers to King of the First Men, Andals, and Rhoynar, much to the delight of most of the nobles.

After all, they took refuge early, and they were considered meritorious.

Except for a few Riverbend nobles, such as Matus Rowan and others.

The king made an alliance with the Tyrell family, which put them in an embarrassing situation when they first betrayed the lord.

Although the great aristocrats have a dual vassal relationship with the lord and the king, the lord's family is close after all, and there are many opportunities for small tricks.

Arthur has his own way of dealing with the Rowan and Oakheart families.

"My lords, the people from the Western Territory have fled back. Dickon's 5000 people may not be able to defend Silver Mountain City, Deep Cavern Castle and other places, so I order..."

He transferred most of the soldiers near Maiden Springs to the salient part of the western border, and transferred the aboriginal soldiers from the Crab Claw Peninsula to King's Landing.

According to reports from the Frey soldiers monitoring the Blood Gate, the upper half of the Bright Moon Mountain Range has already started to snow. If there is no trouble from the gods, the Blood Gate will not be able to allow the army to pass until the next long summer.

In other words, even if Littlefinger completely controlled the Valley, they would not be able to attack the Riverland on land.

This allowed Arthur to explore the western border with peace of mind.

According to the agreement he reached with the Queen of Thorns, Garland would also lead an army northward from the coastal road to stab at Port Lannister and Casterly Rock after the Ironmen's invasion was quelled.

Of course, these are plans for later, he has to marry Little Rose first.

"What about the northern border? What about my family's Winterfell?"

Sansa had already heard that her husband was about to marry his second wife, but considering that there were so many nobles around, she temporarily resisted the urge to ask him why, and instead asked about her husband's arrangements for her natal family's territory.

"There is an army ready to enter the northern border to fight. I will tell you the details later." Arthur said sincerely.

Since the Queen of Thorns gave up half of Brightwater City to the Tully family, Randyll didn't have to go south.

After the Western Territory and the Stormlands were completely pacified, the army he led could go north along the coastal road, firstly to recover Winterfell, and secondly to resist the army of wildlings.

Before transferring the Riverbend people away, Arthur also had to quickly establish a standing army of the royal family and a garrison team of King's Landing.

The original King's Landing City garrison, commonly known as the Golden Robe, has been disbanded.

Arthur's idea is to let the aboriginal soldiers of the Crab Claw Peninsula garrison King's Landing City, and then select suitable people from them to form a new garrison team.

After all, these ancestors were far more loyal to the Dragon King family than other families.

Although their combat effectiveness is a little bit lower, the most important thing for the Gyeonggi army is their loyalty to the king.

Moreover, Junlin City is in short supply of food and cannot afford to support more soldiers for the time being. A garrison of two to 3000 people is just right.

As for the standing army of the royal family, it will be formed by Dickon near Harrenhal after finishing the western border. The source of troops is the strong peasants of several Dragon Party families such as Maiden Spring City, Darry City, Harren Castle, and Willow City.

These are still plans for the future. The most urgent thing at present is to select a group of servants loyal to Arthur and Sansa from Harrenhal and send them to the Red Castle.

Otherwise, Maegor's Tower would be full of Tyrells, and Arthur wouldn't even be able to sleep well.

After the king issued his order one by one, the vassals went to carry it out.

Of course, most of them don't need to follow the army. The king's second wedding is coming soon, and they have to go to King's Landing to attend the wedding banquet.

This time, there is more time. In order to maintain their dignity, some big nobles will definitely have to bleed a lot.

At night, the room of the castellan.

After two vicious fights, Sansa finally talked to her husband about his wedding to Margery.

"You betrayed our love."

After her body was satisfied, Miss Stark began to feel wronged.

"There is no other way. If I don't marry that Miss Tyrell, the kingdom will continue to be torn apart, and your family's Winterfell and the northern border will not be recovered. How can you avenge your brother Robb? You Mother... By the way, I haven't let you meet Mrs. Stark yet!"

The king in a linen robe patted Sansa's wife on the back, ready to let his wife meet the "mother-in-law".

"My mother?" Sansa tied her clothes, her face was very surprised, "Didn't Brienne say..."

After putting on his shoes, Arthur signaled his wife to stay in the lord's room, "But she's resurrected again, and she's a bit strange now, I'll go and bring her here, and you two will meet quietly before making plans."

He was also not sure what Madam Shi Xin's attitude was towards his daughter, and this matter was considered confidential, so he couldn't make it public.

Sansa was expecting and nervous, wondering how her mother, whom she hadn't seen for almost a year, was doing.

Arthur went out and met the gatekeeper Sandor Clegane.

"What? Are you sure you want to be my wife's guard?"

He and Sandor had only met once in the Prime Minister's Tournament, so they were not very familiar with each other.But Sansa and the Hound are old acquaintances.

Sandor nodded and said flatly, "I have already pledged my allegiance to her."

There was a sense of simplicity in his eyes, and it seemed that he had almost let go of his hatred for his brother.

This is good, Sansa's natal family is too weak, she has Brienne Tass and Sandor Clegane by her side, so she can be much safer.

Arthur strode away to find Mrs. Stoneheart.

……

The Stormlands, Storm's End.

In the castle hall, Selyse Florent, wife of Stannis, sat in the chief seat, holding her daughter Shireen Baratheon in her arms, and Edric Storm, Robert's only illegitimate son, stood behind them.

Onion Knight Davos turned around anxiously, and Scarlet Witch Melisandre stared at the flames in the fireplace, hoping to get guidance from the Lord of Light.

Not long after, an officer with the coat of arms of Florence came in and reported dejectedly:

"Your Majesty has been burned. After hearing the news, the earls are mobilizing overnight and preparing to go north. They are probably going to serve the dragon supporters."

Selyse closed her eyes and moaned in pain, "Lord of Light~"

When Shireen Baratheon knew her father was dead, she began to cry on the spot.

Melisandre waved her hands irritably, but the crying and wailing of the two women could not be dispelled.

After learning of Stannis' death, the only thought the Red Witch had was that Storm's End could not stay any longer.

While Selyse, who was in charge, was not paying attention, she walked slowly towards the door of the hall, but was stopped by two men.

Davos Seaworth and Andrew Ismond stood in her way.

"You have killed our king." Sir Andrew gritted his teeth and spat out the words word for word.

This is a loyal servant of Stannis, and like Davos, he believes in the Seven Gods.

Judging by his appearance, it seemed that he was about to eat the red-robed witch raw.

The Onion Knight's attitude was a little calmer, "You'd better go to the dungeon to rest!"

Although he also wanted to kill the evil witch who was whispering in the king's ear, Queen Selyse ordered it.

Melisandre looked back at Selyse Florent, who was crying and unconscious, and followed the two knights to the dungeon without waiting for the men of the two knights to come forward to kidnap him.

The Lord of Light still has arrangements for her, and the red robe witch is confident that she will not die here.
