Chapter 589 The Certificate of Loyalty (Part 1)

Margaery came back to find Igor, not as Queen Here, it's the exact opposite.

Aegon Targaryen has sent messengers to propose to Reach, the headquarters of the two sides are only separated by several li, and it is convenient and quick to bargain. After a brief negotiation, Mace Tyrell has agreed to the marriage, began happily as a royal family and began to prepare for the wartime wedding, and canceled the original arrangement to visit Daenerys.

Margaery is actually a bit of a hate iron for not becoming steel for the unstyled eagerness of the father.

It wasn't because she was against the marriage, on the contrary, Margaery knew very well that Aegon's side was indeed a better choice, and the reason was simple: since Daenerys refused to marry Prince Aegon, it was obvious Because they don't want to be subjugated by their husband's family, most of the men in the Tyrell family have no fun. And in the case of refusing to use marriage as an alliance condition, Queen is almost... no, it is completely impossible to come up with any chips that are enough to impress the Tyrell family.

It wasn't the decision made by the father that made her angry, but the weakness and shortsightedness of the father happily agreeing to the proposal without trying to gain the greater good.

As the bride-to-be who is about to be promoted to queen, Margaery actually traveled without the knowledge of family members, after leaving a message to explain.

Of course she didn't want to run away from marriage or run away with someone, but wanted to come and shop around... no, two.

Looking at what's in the pot while holding the bowl, this is naturally ugly, but this is what the little Aegon asked for.

As early as two years ago, when the unknown Prince suddenly landed in Westeros and swept the Stormlands preemptively, the Tyrells had already proposed a marriage plan when Varys quietly came to negotiate an alliance. At that time, Reach was ready to send the army to send that little Prince to Iron Throne, and Margaery also aspired to be the second generation wife of Conqueror who was more shrewd and capable than Visania, virtuous and gentle and comparable to the "good queen". , leaving a strong stroke belonging to oneself in the history books.

So full of sincerity, who wants the other party's eyes high above the top, has to wait for another Dragon Family's female Human King to return, and then turns around after being rejected by her. Choose Tyrell Home.

This kind of humiliation of using oneself as a spare part, what kind of woman can accept it calmly?
Margaery can.

For the rise of the Tyrells and the interests of the Reach, she could swallow a thousand times more shame than this face doesn't change.

However, it must not be unconditional!

Prince Aegon will still have the support of Reach and the queen he wants—even wise and virtuous, but as compensation for the mental humiliation he'd inflicted on his wife earlier, he's shopping around for a while. After the circle came back, it was time to pay more to get the original marriage.

This is not a sky-high price, nor is it bullshitting, but a reasonable argument.

As a naturally weak woman, she has to let her future husband know that oneself is not easy to bully before getting married. With this record of Ma Wei for comparison, her meekness and reasonableness after marriage are valuable, only Will not be considered weak by nature, to be grateful and respected!
Just being a good person will not end well!
This truth is so obvious, but Margaery's soft-eared and good-faced father couldn't see through it. Instead, she resolutely forbade her to go back on one's word and temporarily increase the price. The unreasonable daughter had to go out in person to earn the honor and political benefits for oneself and the Tyrell family!
In order to achieve the goal, the countermeasure she came up with is very simple: enter the enemy camp alone, use little Aegon's marriage request to force the Queen party to set a high price, and then use Igor's conditional feedback to little Aegon to put pressure on him and force him to do it make bigger concessions.

The Tyrell family, on the basis of the original price of the "Queen's Seat", at least get a seat in the front of the royal family as spiritual compensation!

"Miss Margaery, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still so handsome and radiant." Igor, who was approached by an uninvited guest, didn't show any impatience at all, but rather gentlemanly Immediately entered the state, "I am busy with chores during the day and the reception is not good, please allow me to invite you to dinner as an apology." It's a great honor for me to eat."

Igor turned around, told Nina and the snapping turtle and the others that their original dinner arrangements had changed, and temporarily dismissed them. Then, under the guidance of the restaurant staff, he came to a table against the wall and sat down, and ordered the guards to occupy the three sides of the table and chairs around the seat to occupy the isolation zone, so as to create a suitable environment for the dialogue between the two.

Since everyone is here, it might be better to send her away at a showdown earlier, so that Myrcella will not have to rack her brains and find extra time in her tight schedule.

"Lord Commander, you and I are old acquaintances, so I won't say too much nonsense. The Queen has ordered you to negotiate with the southern border on her behalf. I am now officially asking as the messenger of Reach - Your Majesty Are there any plans for oneself's marriage? If not, will the Tyrells be considered?"

Even if in the heart is completely inclined to be the queen of little Aegon, Margaery still has to ask such a question ask.

She is also a relative of the royal family, and is also injected into the bloodline of the Tyrell family in the inheritance of the Royal Family. In the family tree, the weight of a king or a queen is more important, and she can still distinguish clearly.

Although the probability is not big, what if Daenerys really just doesn't want to marry a Targaryen with a dubious identity, and doesn't have much resistance to marrying the Tyrell family?

Then... even if Loras is brought into the royal family, the surnames of child and Targaryen will never be lost in this marriage.

Although she has dreamed of being a queen since she was a child, if Daenerys really intends to marry the Tyrell family, she is still willing to sacrifice oneself to send Loras to Iron Throne, and oneself will take a back seat as the big brother's right-hand man.

When the time comes, in the Tyrell siblings, the big brother will be the king, and the younger sister of oneself will find a powerful figure like Igor to marry, although the personal influence will be more than "being the queen". It's not as good, but the overall power and status of the family will reach the peak in an instant - the Three Headed Dragon in the coat of arms of Targaryen, most of them have to have a rose in their mouth!
But Igor's answer was surprisingly concise: "No, Your Majesty has no idea of marriage in the short term."

(If you marry Queen, forget about it!)

Huh?
Margaery's doubts flickered for a moment.

Strange, even if you are going to give a negative reply, you should organize your verbal rejection in a slightly more tactful and friendly way, leaving some room for it, so as to give a potential ally such as Reach some room for imagination and shaky thoughts. Think?
Well, anyway, she didn't put much hope in this matter, and naturally she won't be lost because of the bad news, pouted nodded, Little Rose turned the discussion to the topic: "It's a pity, then I don't know Your Majesty, in the end. Reach's loyalty intention, what kind of arrangements and plans have you made?"

(I have the goods here, how much does Queen plan to buy?)

"The Tyrell family should have already received it. Your Majesty and I have issued a declaration, Queen Your Majesty, as the only remaining Targaryen in the world, the undisputed legitimate monarch of the Seven Kingdoms, shouldn't Reach be loyal to her in the first place? How to arrange and plan?" Igor said Watching the maids in the restaurant bring food and wine, without even looking at Little Rose, "I would like to ask Miss Margaery when Reach intends to hand over command of the army so that I can formulate a formal attack on King's Landing. Plan?"

(It was originally Queen's stuff, and you still want to sell it? Joke!)
The doubts that had been suppressed reluctantly surfaced again, and Margaery frowned.

"Lord Commander, if this is meaningless, you can talk to the pseudo-king Stannis, how can it be used among friends like us!"

(serious I'm asking you about your business, stop joking!)

"Yes, I apologize." Igor watched the maid who brought the food leave, picked up the knife and fork, and cut a steaming, tender and juicy piece first. The steak was put into his mouth, and he continued to speak inarticulately while chewing, "Then I will talk about what the Queen thinks... Your Majesty was forced to live on the other side of the narrow sea when she was born, so it is not for the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. Too familiar, and naturally suspicious of the loyalty of the princes. She hopes--you can take action to prove Reach's loyalty to House Targaryen."

He swallowed the chewed meat. He moistened his belly with wine, and then raised his eyes and looked at Margaery: "The specific method is to invite all the nobles in Reach, family and children, to come to King's Landing, to be a guest about a year, in order to give your Majesty understands the opportunity to get to know you, to feel and experience your loyalty."

Margaery pu chi laughed, then reassured—she was a little uneasy just now, but now she's sure Igor is teasing she played.

"Lord Commander is joking. The population of Reach is tens of millions. If Knight is also considered a noble, then it accounts for 1%." She tilted her head seriously and cooperated with the performance. He pinched his fingers and figured it out, and couldn't help but smile, "If you count the whole family, it would have to be hundreds of thousands of people. Can there be so many people in King's Landing? Is it possible that Your Majesty intends to All the original citizens were expelled to make room to pick up guests?"

"There are so many?" Igor showed a surprised expression without pretense, and then showed embarrassment and guilt, "sorry, just said If it's not accurate, Knight certainly doesn't count, only families that meet certain conditions can get the invitation of Queen Your Majesty."

He turned his head: "Maeve, put the list we made before. Find it out and show it to Miss Margaery."
