Chapter 194 The Duchess of the North

King's Landing, King's Gate.

As dusk approached quietly, a dozen or so soldiers of the Crab Claw Peninsula ancestors in various armors stood guard at the relatively complete city gate, holding torches in their hands.

This is the city gate in the southwest corner. Because people from Rose Avenue often enter the city through the Linhe Gate (Mud Gate) on the east side after crossing the Heishui River, so there are not many people going through the King's Gate at ordinary times, let alone at this time. .

The knight Yuri Ulmis wrapped in a black cloak opened the cover of the cowhide bag, took a sip, and rode his horse towards the city gate.

He was a knight from Little Dock, serving Lord Matus Rowan, Lord of the Lord.

Little Dock is a location in the Reach near Fort Steadfast.During the reign of King Aerys I, Little Dock was sacked and destroyed by King Dagon Greyjoy's ironmen.It used to belong to the Osgrey family, but was later deprived and transferred to other people.

When the soldiers on guard saw Yuri approaching, they were very vigilant and stopped him.

"Report your name and the noble you allegiance to, then lift your cloak and let me see your family crest." The soldier captain shouted loudly.

Although the king ordered that the King's Landing Law Enforcement Team not be allowed to charge entry fees to civilians entering the city, it is still their duty to intercept suspicious persons.

A tall man like Yuri, who is riding a tall horse and wearing armor, is a suspicious person who should be intercepted at first glance.

"Parmen Clane, do you know Ser Fertimo Crane? He is Highgarden's master and my cousin."

Yuri casually replaced the identity of a river bend knight, and then lifted his big cloak, revealing the half-worn plate armor inside.

The man he replaced was in Highgarden for surrendering to Stannis, and not many of the people of the Reach even knew that, and few but a few concerned people could recognize his lies.

The soldier captain snorted coldly, "I thought it was some kind of big shot, just a cousin of the coach of a remote castle, tell me your purpose of entering the city, or you will be frozen at the gate tonight!"

These soldiers of the ancestors have always been proud of their status as loyal servants of the dragon family, and they have a little disdain for the people of Hewan. In addition, Queen Margaery's female companions and the Tyrell family have recently done a lot of good deeds in the city to win people's hearts, and The soldiers of the ancestors could only stand guard and patrol the city gates and streets, and they hated the people of Hewan even more.

Yuri originally thought that he would be able to enter by declaring a moderate relationship, but he did not expect that the soldiers would not allow it. He used his not-so-intelligent brain to run at the fastest speed since he was born, and made up another lie:

"Do you know the Clenn family of Red Lake? Mrs. Melaya Clenn, the wife of the former Earl of Bright Water City, Alister Florent, is from our family. Although the Florent family was deprived of their noble status, Madam She is still a member of the Klein family, and still belongs to the noble family. She is now staying in the old town of the Hightower family, but in order to please the new owner of Liangshui City, Lord Garland, some people have imposed some unfair treatment on this relative of mine. .I came to King's Landing to complain about this..."

While talking nonsense, Yuri secretly rejoiced that the Klein family was Little Dock's neighbor to the north, and he knew a lot about the family, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to make up these words.

The captain of the soldiers was from the Crab Claw Peninsula, and he couldn't even tell the aristocratic relationship between the several families in the king's land, not to mention the many scary families in the Reach.

"You talk so much, but you don't even have a recognizable coat of arms on your body, and you enter the city through the King's Gate where no one has ever passed. I don't think you are a good person."

It may be that Yuri has been riding on the horse, which made the captain look up to speak, or it may be that Yuri's identity made the captain suspicious. In short, he decided to give the Hewan man a little bit of trouble.

As soon as the captain waved his hand, the soldiers under him immediately dragged Sir Yuri Ulmis off the horse, and then began to punch and kick.

"Hey, what are you doing, stop your stupid behavior, I will report this to Duke Tyrell."

Yuri was still unconvinced at first, and still used the name of the Duke of the Reach to protest. After he understood that the soldiers came for him as a Reach man, he wisely shut up.

After the soldier captain stretched his neck, he finally let out a sigh of relief, and then ordered the man to be locked in the room at the city gate.

"Wait until the shift at night, and then send it to the dungeon."

……

Poor Yuri was beaten for nothing at the gates, and Daenerys Targaryen was beaten in the throne room.

To be precise, it was Arthur and the Mother of Dragons who had a passionate fight, and the two sides were negotiating between strikes and peace talks.

"I will never give up the Iron Throne." Daenerys said her bottom line first, "My brother told me that only true dragon blood can ascend the Iron Throne."

She sat on Arthur and looked down with a proud look.

The Mother of Dragons' obsession with the Iron Throne made Arthur feel helpless. "I have a proposal. After we marry, we can share some titles, such as the king of the Andals, the First Men, and the Rhoynar."

Daenerys asked back: "Then, who is ruling specifically? Do the subjects have to obey the orders of the two kings and accept the rule of the two kings?"

Arthur pretended to be generous and said: "You think too much, a mere Westeros is not my goal, a large number of slaves are suffering in the southern part of the free trade city-state, I want to break these as the emperor of Valyria The slave's shackles, let the rule of the Valyrian Empire once again be established on the continent of Essos."

"The borders of the empire are no longer the outposts of the Free City-states and the Gughis region, Qarth, etc., the whole world, from the land of eternal winter covered with snow to the land of shadows filled with night, from the island of Iban As far as Uros, from the Dothraki Sea to the Jogosnai Grasslands east of the Mountains of Bones, Yidi and Nigel, wherever people go, accept my rule, and my empire will be full of justice. and justice..."

Arthur told his goals to those most likely to support the cause.

Although the productivity of this magical world is not high, and the living standards of nobles, wealthy businessmen, and commoners are only equivalent to the mixture of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in the previous life, thanks to strange magic, such as the ability to transmit pictures across thousands of mountains and rivers, With glass candles and extremely fast flying dragons, information can flow quickly, and high-end combat power can quickly reach the battlefield, so it is feasible to build an empire on which the sun never sets.

During the Valyrian Freedom Fortress, the Dragon Kings only carried out three large-scale foreign expansions: five wars with the Ghiscari Empire, the Rhoen River War with the Rhoynar, and the conquest of freedom except Braavos. Trade city-state area.

After taking over the western part of the continent of Essos, the dragon kings lost their motivation to expand outwards. After all, there were already enough humans living on the Fortress of Freedom, and the Valyrian Peninsula could not even accommodate so many slaves. And it's coming in a steady stream from the areas ruled by the Fortress of Liberty.

For thousands of years, what the dragon kings have done the most is to ride the giant dragon to spread their blood in Reese's Jiyuan. Occasionally, a few explorers just ride the dragon around the world.

For example, Janina La Belleris, she rode an adult dragon Terex to fly to the continent of Sososros, and then spent a few years to come to the conclusion that Sossros is bigger than the continent of Essos, Then declare that it is an endless land covered by forests, deserts, and mountains.

"Your thoughts are as big as your younger brother." Dany liked this proposal that could not be realized for the time being, "I also support taking down Volantis, Rhys and Tyrosh, and completely liberating these storages. In the slave area, nail all the slave owners to a wooden frame."

After adjusting his posture, Arthur said in a brisk tone: "Then it's settled. Since we got married, we exchanged some titles with each other. You get the title of king of the ancestors, Andals and Rhoynar from me." , rule the Iron Throne while I go out to fight, and I take titles like your King of Slaver's Bay, Khal of the Great Prairie, and so on."

The Mother of Dragons was busy fighting, only breathing out through her nose, and seemed to agree to the proposal.

But she quickly added: "But the Unsullied army is still under my command. Those wives of yours don't have the same title of dominion as I do, they are just your wives."

"There is no problem at all, you have three giant dragons, of course the status is the highest."

Arthur also replied out of breath, and at the same time made a final request: "In addition, since we have reached a covenant of marriage, you can no longer maintain illegitimate relationships outside of marriage. The leader of the Stormcrows, Dario Na Harris must be executed in secret."

As far as he knows, although the 16-year-old Mother of Dragons' private life is relatively chaotic, she only maintained an intimate relationship with one man at the same time. After the death of the horse king Khal Drogo, Daenerys's only lover was Dario.

Although surprised at how the people behind her learned of this, Dany still half agreed: "If you can satisfy me, I will perform my duties well. As for Dario, it is enough to exile him, this world is too big , Ordinary people don’t have giant dragons to ride and fly around, once they are exiled, they will disappear forever.”

But Arthur persisted and insisted that Daenerys add the execution of Daario.

The two started a new round of wrestling around a problem.

……

At night, Queen Sansa's room, Maegor Towers.

After exercising, Arthur walked in refreshed, and then signaled several noble women who were around Queen Sansa to go out.

"Go and rest, my husband and I are going to discuss important matters of the kingdom." Sansa dismissed her female companions seriously.

Five or six young aristocratic women left, and Arthur glanced at them and recognized most of them: two married women from Riverland, Elano Mooton, the eldest daughter of Lord William Mooton, Lord of Maiden Springs, a A noblewoman from the Reach named Menedith Clinen, and a slender woman with a big butt that looked familiar.

Except for that Miss Menedith Crane, the appearance of the others is very reasonable.

"I want to discuss something with you." After Brienne, who was guarding the door, closed the door from the outside, Sansa who was lying on the bed stared firmly at Arthur and said.

The king was surprised by her seriousness, "I also want to tell you something important, so go ahead."

After Sansa took a deep breath, she said softly: "I heard that you ordered my brother's wife, Jenny Westerling, to no longer wear her crown. I want you to withdraw this order. It's just a gold tiara, she You can wear it however you want.”

Arthur thought it was a big deal, but Sansa wanted to talk about this little thing.

After the Westerners surrendered, basically all the slightly famous families sent a core member as a hostage, and Westerling of Cliff City sent Jenny, an embarrassing person.

After Robb's death in battle, Gavin Westerling, who colluded with Tywin and married off his daughter, was not only not punished, but got a lot of fiefdom, and Janey was also confined in the cliff city.

And this Miss Jenny obviously misses her queen status very much. Even though Robb died in battle for a long time, she still wears the golden crown given to her by the King of the North.

No one blamed her for doing this in Cliff City, but after being taken as a hostage, Jane was ridiculed by many people. Someone complained to the king, and Arthur ordered her not to wear the crown.

Women really don't understand politics, Arthur thought to himself, and then explained it to Sansa:

"From the perspective of the Iron Throne, all of Robb's actions are illegal. Your ancestor, Toren Stark, has dedicated his crown to the conqueror. You cannot allow Robb to be your brother just because he is your brother." Some offside things. You are my wife now, and you have to start from maintaining my authority."

But Sansa obviously didn't have this awareness, "But she is the only relative I have left. Since you hate her so much, let her rule Winterfell on my behalf after it is recovered by the people of the valley. After that, What headdress she wears has nothing to do with you."

Reluctantly, the king walked to the wooden table and poured himself a cup of the sour drink that was always reserved for pregnant queens.

"You have to know that she is not your relative. There were some external reasons for your brother to marry her." Arthur organized his words and began to persuade Sansa who was full of emotional thinking.

Robb was wounded in the battle against the castle in the West, and the northern army was full of rough men, and the only two women, Maggie Mormont and Daisy Mormont, were as strong as bears, He is also not gentle, obviously unable to take care of the young wolf master.

So the people of the north chose Jenny from among the captured noble ladies of the west to take care of Robb who was wounded by arrows.

The body of the young wolf master was devastated, coupled with the news of the rebellion of Theon Greyjoy, who was like a brother with Robb, and the killing of his brother Bran, he was also psychologically hit. , Miss Janey took advantage of the void and climbed onto the bed of the King of the North.

Robb had no choice but to be responsible for his impulse and married Jenny to maintain her reputation.

"Miss Jenny is a very vain woman. Half of her 'love' for your brother is out of overflowing kindness in caring for the wounded, and the other half is out of coveting his status as king."

Arthur summed it up like this.

But Sansa was obviously dissatisfied, "After all, you just don't agree with her wearing a gold tiara like a crown."

She curled her lips, and at the same time turned her eyes away from her husband, protesting silently with her actions.

"Not only do I disagree with letting her wear that crown, but I also disagree with your idea of ​​letting her manage Winterfell. People in the northern border basically have no recognition for southerners. You let a noble lady whose force is equal to zero to represent When you rule Winterfell and the Northland, it is tantamount to letting the lamb go to the wolves and become the king of wolves."

As Arthur spoke, he brought himself into Sansa's sight.

"This is also a big deal for me to find you. After the Bolton family is eliminated, you will be the Duchess of Winterfell, and one of your sons will inherit Stark's surname and territory."
