Chapter 68 Plan
"Sir...why me? For this kind of thing, you can go to someone else."

Clay frowned, the words were already so clear, it would be boring to pretend to be stupid, but Clay hadn't figured out why this Aenys Foyle had identified him, and this kind of thing couldn't be mass-messaged , that is pure death.

"Because, you, and the Manderly family behind you, have what I want, and that is golden dragons. After I become the Marquess of Frey, I need a lot of golden dragons to appease these disobedient guys. At the same time, we Mander The support of the Le family can also share a lot of pressure for me."

Aenys Foyle restrained the ferocious expression he had shown just now, restored his dead face with no waves, took out a golden dragon from his pocket, and threw it directly to Clay.

"Golden Dragon, you want me to be the Golden Dragon of the Mandalay family, and you want me to marry a sister or younger sister to your grandson, and then support you as a kinslayer and kill your father and brothers, then please, I, Mande What can the Le family get?"

This is obvious. The Mandalay family has to pay so much, and it is possible that the family's reputation will be damaged because of the incident. Taking such a big risk, there must be a satisfactory return, right?
Aenys Frey needs the Manderly family to come forward and stabilize the situation with golden dragons and influence after he completes the kinslaughter. Clay will naturally ask for a good price. Moreover, Clay is a little curious, isn't your Twin River City very powerful? money?Although there are more golden dragons in White Harbor than Twin River City, but beyond a certain range, golden dragons are just a number.

Knowing that he had to get back to the issue, it wasn't between him and Clay, this was a negotiation between the Manderlys and the Freys, if, of course, Innes could represent Frey.

After the blazing bonfire, Aenys Frey stretched out three fingers and said very seriously:
"First, your older sister or younger sister will marry my future successor, Robert Frey. I guarantee that their descendants will control the entire Frey family."

"Secondly, if the matter ends smoothly, the Twin River City will give up any taxes on the Mandalay family before I go to see the Seven Gods. You know how much wealth that is."

"Third, if there is a war, the Frey family will unconditionally stand on the side of the Mandalay family, no matter whether the enemies of the Mandalay family are in the south or north, east or west."

After hearing the quotation from Aenys Foyle, Clay sneered in his heart, good guy, white wolf with empty hands is not like you.

Let me talk about the first one first, it seems that the blood of the Manderly family has merged into the main ruling line of the Frey family, if Aenys Frey's plan can really succeed.

But on the other hand, if the Mandalay family married a daughter, they would not directly marry your heir, would they marry a side branch?In any case, White Harbor is the fifth largest city in Westeros, with a population of over 20 anyway.

The reason why Clay's status as the heir is so popular is absolutely related to the size of White Harbor. According to Aenys Foyle, making marriage to his heir a condition is pure nonsense.

Let's talk about the second point, which is a bit of a point. The Twin Rivers has been occupied by the Frey family for so many years. Although the tolls collected each year are not comparable to the total trade volume of White Harbor, it is still a very scary figure.

If the tax of the White Harbor caravan is exempted, in general, a large sum of money can indeed be left for White Harbor, but the problem is that this is also a castle in the air.

First of all, Aenys Frey is over 50 now, and it is almost impossible for him to live to his father's age. Even if he is lucky, White Harbor will only have 20 years of tax exemption at most.

Secondly, there is no way for White Harbor to control the inevitable tax exemption. To put it bluntly, one day Ennis Frey is in a bad mood and starts collecting taxes again. What can White Harbor do, directly raise troops?So, what is the reason?Can the reason for this tax exemption agreement be explained?
To sum it up, this thing is still a piece of cake. Whether Clay and his Manderly family can eat it depends entirely on the mood of the Frey family.

Finally, the third one, to believe the promise of the Frey family, may be more nonsense than letting Robert Baratheon lick Daenerys Targaryen's toes.When White Harbor really faces the enemy, can Clay get the support of the Twins?Go dreaming!

Therefore, the three terms of Aenys Frey seem to tie the two families together. The Manderly family only needs to pay for a daughter who has no inheritance rights, and can save a lot of wealth in the future, and can also save a lot of money in the war. It's time to have one more ally, what a good condition...

If it wasn't for the conditions, Clay really wanted to kick Aenys Foyle in the face, and tell him seriously: You are very good at asking conditions, so don't mention them next time!

Originally, he wanted to get up straight away and end this seemingly meaningless trade negotiation to Clay, but after a second thought, he stopped himself from standing up again.

"Sir, I can hear, how do you plan to carry out your... plan, and use your kindness to send your family to the Seven Gods?"

In the classical laws of Westeros, no matter whether the conditions are special or not, such things as killing relatives, if you are unlucky, you will be executed on the spot, and if you are lucky, you will be embarrassed for a lifetime.

Just like Jaime Lannister, the "Kingslayer" who killed the mad king, as the Kingsguard, he did not protect his king, but stabbed him to death under the Iron Throne, even though he stood on the side of the victor , but this does not prevent him from being reviled.

Therefore, for people like Aenys Frey who proposes a kinicide plan, Clay does not need to be merciless. Contempt and ridicule in his words are the reactions that a Westerosi should have.

Sure enough, Aenys Frey's face is probably thicker than that of the Great Wall, and he couldn't hear the irony in Clay's words at all. He still had a serious expression and said in a deep voice:

"Lord Clay, you know that I am in charge of a portion of the maester's authority, and my father, in fact, most of the time, is just as groggy as he was before we left the Twins."

"He is very lethargic, and the only person he trusts is the housekeeper who has been with him all his life, but let me tell you, the housekeeper's only grandson has taken a fancy to my granddaughter. At critical times, I can guarantee that he will stand by my side. After all, if the old man Stuff is dead, and Stevron won't let him go."

"As if you'd let him go." Clay sneered.

"Maybe?" Aenys Frey smiled secretly, and continued:

"My father will leave suddenly during a banquet with Stevron. All the charges, except that the seven gods know, can only be borne by my dear brother. I will be executed in the name of a kinslayer. he."

"I have to remind you that even if you succeed in everything you said before, it seems that the inheritance right is your second brother's turn. After all, you are only ranked third."

Aenys Foyle's smile didn't weaken at all because of Clay's words, he shook his head, his voice was calm:
"My poor second brother, who married a Lannister wife, is not in the Twins at all. When the matter is done, I am the master of the Twins. When the time comes, do you think Lord Hoster Tully will allow a Is Frey, covered in lion hair, going to be master of the Twins?"

"Besides, even if he can come, it seems that the road is not smooth. No, there are bandits. Is it a very reasonable thing to have an accident? After all, the adults in the entire Hejian Land hope that this Some kind of accident happened..."
