iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 501 New Stage (End)
Theon glanced at Asha and enjoyed the shouts of the crowd for a while. He roared loudly: "Can you tolerate that thief taking away the treasure and women that belong to you?!"

This time, Asha didn't need to take the lead. The iron men immediately responded loudly: "Kill them back! Kill them back! Kill them back!"

Theon took a deep breath, and when the noise in the house subsided a little, he pointed to several nearby iron beings and called out their names: "Ogg, Germa, Vix, Ergen, Stig, Blake."

Each time he read out a name, his eyes would linger on the corresponding ironborn face for a moment, and finally he glared at the big guy who had peed on him in the morning: "Rafe!"

Suddenly, everyone followed Rafe and laughed.

Theon looked around with a serious face, then pointed at himself and said, "Theon Greyjoy, we could all die at the hands of that thief and his lackeys, covered in wounds, bleeding to death, with arrows piercing our throats, spears piercing our stomachs..."

"Oh——" Asha couldn't help but exclaimed, and everyone followed suit and sighed.

Theon's eyes swept across the crowd again, and then he raised his voice sharply: "But! Our battle roars will echo forever! People will sing of our courage! Every man, woman, and child will know who we are! Mothers will name their sons after us!"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd, who had already been extremely excited, raised their arms and shouted: "Roar! Roar! Roar!"

"Whoever kills that damn thief will be the dream knight of every girl!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

"Whoever kills that damned Crow's Eye will be a legendary hero praised by generations!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

"Whoever kills that damned Euron Greyjoy, I will erect a bronze statue of him on the coast of Pyke until the Iron Islands are swallowed by the waves!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

Theon raised his arms and shouted, "The dead never die!"

The crowd responded with a loud and enthusiastic voice: "The dead never die! The dead never die! The dead never die!"

Theon's face turned red, he looked to the other side and roared: "The dead never die!"

"The dead never die! The dead never die! The dead never die!"

"The dead do not..."

However, just as Theon was still raising his arms, immersed in this exciting atmosphere, several iron men suddenly patted their buttocks and stood up.

The abrupt action directly broke the originally warm atmosphere.

Then, he heard someone sighing, "If it wasn't time to leave, I really wouldn't want to interrupt him. He was talking really well."

More people stood up, and some sighed: "Yes, that was a great talk. I want to listen again next time."

"I can finally leave. Miss Asha is really..."

"When you're bored on the boat, you can ask him to talk more on the boat..."

"I thought he would shut up soon..."

…………

Theon looked at Asha who came to his side and said blankly: "They...you..."

Patting her brother on the shoulder, Asha smiled and said, "Not a bad move, very exciting, haha."

Theon was still in a daze. He murmured in disbelief: "They, you, why?"

Asha looked at the people walking back and forth in the room, talking and laughing, and said, "Compared to honor, they value practical things. This is the real iron race, my brother."

After a pause, Xien suddenly stiffened his neck and said, "With Glory, wouldn't those things be easy to get? Was this arranged in advance? Are you deliberately making fun of me?!"

Asha spread her hands helplessly: "Ever since I brought you out of the women's branch of Mole Village, you have been making me happy every day along the way. Why should I do anything unnecessary?"

"You!" Theon was speechless for a moment.

Under her brother's glare, Asha continued, "The premise of a promise is mutual trust. Don't forget that every captain of the Ironborn is the king of his ship. To them, you are just... well, an Ironborn who is said to be an Ironborn but doesn't look like an Ironborn?"

Theon couldn't help but get angry: "I'm their prince!"

Asha once again gave Theon the familiar evil smile. "If the title was so useful, wouldn't we be here? It is a little useful. At least they listened to your speech patiently and were quite polite."

Theon gnashed his teeth, his face full of humiliation and anger: "You are all laughing at me!"

Asha stared at her brother for a while, then suddenly grinned: "If I had known that you were planning to seize power, I would at least have stopped you from becoming a joke."

Hearing this, Xi En's heart was relieved, and the anger on his face disappeared immediately. His eyes were a little evasive: "Don't get me wrong, I want to help you, Asha...sister..."

"I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood your kindness." Asha ruffled Theon's hair with satisfaction, and said, "My dear brother, I finally did not waste my sister's kindness in coming all the way to save you."

Seeing her brother forcing a smile, Asha giggled out loud.

Asha patted Theon on the back, "Well, it's time to go, my good brother."

With a low hum, Theon followed his sister obediently with a reluctant look on his face. As soon as they walked out of the hunter's cabin, Theon suddenly grabbed Asha's arm and said, "By the way, where are we going?"

"That's a clever one for once. Also, you could have asked me this question after we got on board."

Asha paused, and the people waiting outside gathered around her.

“But it’s the same now.” Asha’s eyes slowly swept across the ironborn who were looking at her, and her voice slightly raised: “Brothers, our next destination is King’s Landing.”

"King's Landing?"

Xien looked at the people around him who were just as confused as he was, and asked in surprise: "What are we going there for?"

Asha shrugged. "Of course we should ask your 'brother-in-law' for help. Otherwise, how can we defeat the Crow's Eye?"

She twisted her waist slightly and sighed: "In order to get more soldiers, I have to work very hard on the bed this time..."

There was silence for a moment, and then the iron races suddenly burst into laughter.

This is good news. Only Theon couldn't laugh: "My brother-in-law, bah, who is that man? Have you been deceived?"

Asha smiled shyly, and under everyone's expectant gaze, she opened her thick lips and said, "Duke Marigold."

The surroundings were quiet again, and then cheers broke out.

Theon almost stumbled there, his Seastone Place...

He looked at his sister with a man's eyes: Not feminine at all, and so ugly, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!

He was suddenly startled. Could it be that the famous duke of the Seven Kingdoms wanted to control the Iron Islands?
The ironborn with high morale began to move forward. It seemed that Theon, who had been standing still, finally came to his senses. He hurriedly trotted over and came to Asha's side.

He held her back, glanced around, and whispered, "Are you sure it's the Duke of Kleber?"

Asha looked over in confusion: "Who would make such a poor joke?"

Theon glanced around again and warned in a low voice: "I'm telling you, the Iron Islands are mine. If you let him trick you away from the Iron Islands, I will never let you go."

Asha gently pinched her brother's cheek. "Want the Iron Islands? Then we have to defeat the Crow's Eye first. I will be looking forward to your performance."

As she walked, she said, "However, if you don't behave well, you will not only lose the chance to inherit the Iron Islands, but also... Never mind, you are my brother after all. I will still find a wealthy noble in the Green Land and marry you to him."

"Hmph, it is you who should behave well in front of me. If I am not satisfied, I will find you an old man as your husband just like Crow's Eye..."

"Aren't you the Prince of Winterfell who takes honor very seriously?"

"Damn it, don't mention that again..."

"Then prove to everyone..."

“Hmph, I…”

…………

As the iron races were marching towards the seaside at dusk, one of them stayed behind temporarily because of a stomachache.

Then, a black crow flew out from the place where he was squatting and quickly disappeared into the twilight.

…………

…………

When the stubborn Princess Arianne was jumping up and down in King's Landing, Green, in the name of regent and the royal council, first announced to the Seven Kingdoms that the Baratheon royal bloodline had been tainted by the Lannister family.

Afterwards, the first batch of thousands of ravens flew out of the King's City and flew to the castles of lords across the Seven Kingdoms, announcing the decision of the Regent and the Small Council to welcome back the exiled Princess of Dragonstone, Daenerys Targaryen.

Then, with the assistance of Grand Maester Pycelle, Regent Green compiled a list of warriors who had persisted in resisting after the Lannister army tricked the city gates open and entered the city seventeen years ago.

Green first rewarded the warriors on the list according to Kleber's military merit law, and personally conferred titles on hundreds of knights in the Cathedral of Baelor.

Among them, for families with outstanding contributions, Green even rewarded the land of the Riverlands to those second sons who had no inheritance rights.

As the people of King's Landing were in panic, more and more people cheered for the name of Green Crabbe.

.........

Throne room, royal meeting.

Under the watchful eyes of Green and the other ministers of the Imperial Council, several men in golden robes hung up the black and red three-headed dragon flag next to the swamp marigold flag, which had disappeared for seventeen years.

After the Targaryen banner was hung, the royal waiters and maids brought wine glasses to everyone present.

Green turned around and faced the crowd, revealing a smile. He slowly swept his eyes over everyone and raised his glass, saying, "Everyone, we have witnessed and created new history together. Cheers, Targaryen."
