Chapter 8 8. It must be me

"Father, you need an excellent heir, one who can fight, pass on the family line, and lead the family to prosperity and strength." Xion said unceremoniously. He also knew that the Balon in front of him was an ambitious, but...

An extremely conceited person.

In the original drama, Yara has already explained that Balon's method of fighting deep into the interior is wrong, and this is indeed the case. The greatest advantage of an archipelago is that it is isolated from the mainland.

The iron race are good at sea combat, but at the same time they don't have many people. They can't defend any territory if they go deep into the interior.

"Yara is very good. She has the ability to be my heir. But now you are just a Lannister dog and you are not qualified to be my heir!"

Xion said: "It's useless to talk too much. Who is better is not just talk. Now the North is probably gathering its lords to prepare to go south. Let's compare who has the better record. How about it?"

Yara raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Xion to be so confident, but she wasn't afraid either.

Balon stared at Xion for a while, then nodded, "Then it's settled."

Then Yara asked her servant to arrange a room for Theon, and the five hundred iron guards brought by Theon were also stationed not far from Fort Peck.

night.

Theon released Apollo from the wooden box, and after giving Apollo an explanation, he released Apollo through the window at night.

At this time, a young nobleman who supported Xion immediately stepped forward and said: "Lord Balon has just died, and you, a woman, are actually thinking about Lord Balon's position. Now I suspect that Lord Balon's death is related to you."

At this time, Xion came over and asked, "What happened? Is it on fire?"

This is similar to Robert's sudden death. Joffrey naturally became the first heir, not to mention Theon was his biological son.

"What's more, everyone knows that Lord Theon volunteered to become a hostage to protect the Greyjoy family. Now that he had just escaped from danger with his own wisdom, he immediately wanted to return to the Iron Islands to visit his father.

Xion's words immediately caused Yara's complexion to change, and even some of the newly arrived nobles looked at Yara differently.

Then Theon, as the son of Balon, asked himself to personally conduct his father's funeral.

Then he ignited the wooden bed with a breath of dragon's breath and quickly fled the scene of the crime.

"Theon, Westeros now has four kings. This is our opportunity. In this competition, whoever gains more after seven days will win. The other party must steadily assist the other party to become an iron man.

King of the Islands, how about that?”

After a while, the fire became more intense, and soon the patrolling guards discovered the situation.

Theon has no feelings for Balon at all. In the original play, Balon was a cold-blooded and conceited careerist, and the only person who was interested in Theon was Yara.

After the funeral, Yara took the nobles who supported her to find Theon who occupied Peck Castle. The day after Balon's death, Theon stationed 500 iron guards in Pike Castle on the grounds of stabilizing the turmoil.

Next to Fort Peck.

Yara even specially assembled a group of elites to rescue Xion, but by that time Xion had been tortured to the point of collapse and didn't even dare to escape.

Apollo followed Theon's prompts and came to a window. It was extremely dark inside, with only the flickering firelight of the fireplace.

It is even more impossible for someone to fly up from a height of more than ten meters and kill Duke Baron through the window!

After calming down, Yara also understood that it was impossible for Theon to kill Balon. It seemed that the only possibility was that the room was on fire and her father was burned to death before he could escape.

I think Lord Theon is the legitimate and most qualified successor to be King of the Iron Islands!"

Theon looked at Yara who didn't know how to refute. Theon smiled secretly. Some words could only be said by his subordinates. Once he said it, he would most likely face being kidnapped by morality.

Yara looked at her father's burnt body and immediately suspected Xion. The old family leader was burned to death just one day after this guy came back. Is there anything more coincidental than this?

But then the guards came to report that no one entered Pike Castle tonight. At the same time, Duke Baron always locked the door from inside, and Theon did not leave his room for even half a step.

"I dreamed about my father yesterday. The Drowned God took me to see my father. My father told me that the important task of revitalizing the family would fall on my shoulders in the future. I was very scared!

I was worried that I would not do well, so my father gave me a pair of armor. This is a gift of iron and salt!

This paragraph was naturally written by Xion. On the other hand, many nobles in Yala have begun to waver, and have slightly distanced themselves from the Yala group.

Xion looked puzzled, "What kind of competition? Sister, our father died just a few days ago? You are actually thinking about your father's position now?"

Coupled with the addition of several small families who had no dealings with Yara, everyone hit it off and decided to support Xion. Although the overall strength was not as good as the opponent, but with the addition of the 500 iron guards, and the 50,000 gold coins that Xion brought, it was almost the same.

big.

Who would have thought that you would lose the loved one you miss so much just one day after meeting him, and now you are going to force him to compete with you to compete for the title of King of the Iron Islands?

After learning about the situation, Xion's eyes suddenly turned red, and he knelt down in front of "Black Charcoal" with a bang, crying so hard that everyone who heard it was sad, and everyone who saw it shed tears.

Although Yara and her cronies were unhappy, there was nothing they could do. After all, Theon's identity was here, Balon's only son now!

After all, Yara was born as a girl, and although Yara was recognized by everyone, Balon did not clearly publicly state that Yara was his only heir.

Because although many of the words said by Xion's subordinates have secretly changed the concept, it generally seems to be the same truth, and there seems to be nothing wrong in what they say.

Various noisy shouts shattered the long silent night. After everyone hurriedly put out the fire, they only found Baron's burnt body in the room.

So now that Balon died suddenly, according to the rules and legal principles, Xion is the only heir, unless Yara kills Xion secretly!

The Ironborn were originally Viking pirates. Yara, the always upright Iron Maiden, had never seen such disgusting words before, and she was unable to refute them for a while.

The dead will never die!"

"It's on fire! Put out the fire!"

In the next three days, Theon took out a thousand gold dragons to hold a funeral for Balon, and posthumously named Balon the Iron Salt King. This novel move and the sincerity he showed won the approval of some people.

But Apollo could clearly see Balon on the bed. Apollo quietly came to Balon's side and bit Balon's neck suddenly. The hot dragon's breath instantly burned Balon's throat.

Yara said to Xion.

Although Apollo is a young dragon, he is not the same as Drogon when he was a child.

Xion clapped his hands to interrupt everyone, and everyone fell silent and looked at Xion.

For example, the King of the Iron Islands must be chosen, but these words must not be allowed to be spoken by the candidates.

Several minor nobles who supported Xion shouted loudly with excited faces: "The dead will never die!"

"The dead never die!"

"The dead never die!"

More and more people were shouting, but at this time a voice interrupted everyone, "You said you saw your father and gave you gifts of iron and salt. Show me. If you have any, you are the one of the Iron Islands."

King, brother!”

Yara wittily brought the topic to armor. The so-called gift of iron and salt, as the armor given by the Drowned God, must not be ordinary. As long as Theon cannot take it out, it can prove that he is a liar!
