Prince Doran of Dorne has been very annoyed recently. The lunch in front of him has gone cold. He has not eaten a bite. He waved to the maid to take the food away, and asked the guard to push the wheelchair to the balcony, and kept drinking with the wine glass.
Prince Oberon went to the docks of Sunspear, where he was responsible for receiving the nobles from the West and the Reach.
Sunspear's wharf was originally very small, not even a fishing port. Because of this war, Prince Doran ordered its expansion. Now the wharf is full of horse teams transporting building materials and construction workers, and a large number of warships can temporarily berth on pontoons. At night, Oberon returned to Sunspear Castle to see Doran.
As soon as he entered the room, the guard was ready to pour Oberon his favorite wine. Oberon refused and picked up a golden kettle and poured it directly into his mouth.
Doran turned the wheelchair and asked, "How's it going on the dock?"
Oberon took a sip of water and put the kettle on the table. "What else can we do? There are more and more warships coming here every day, and the troops stationed outside the city have killed all the surrounding animals!"
Dolan: "Try your best to maintain order, don't cause any trouble, and don't let the army enter the city."
Oberon sighed, "Robert deceived us."
Doran looked at his brother, "It would be better to say that your son-in-law Werther deceived you! He discovered the weakness of the unstable situation on the Stepstone Islands and saw that our Dornish army was acting as pirates. Werther wrote to Robert to encourage the Seven Kingdoms.
Launch a war of conquest."
Oberon was lying on the chair with an innocent look on his face, "I was in Essos at the time, and I only got the news after I came back. Robert had started preparing for war half a year ago. In terms of time, it was Werther who came from the city of Myr.
Letter from Robert."
Doran "The current situation is very unfavorable for Dorne. This war of conquest of the Seven Kingdoms can not only conquer the Stepstone Islands, but also drag Dorne into the water. While cutting off the source of wealth, it is also completely tied to the economy of the Seven Kingdoms."
The expansion of Sunspear is, firstly, to accommodate the docking of warships, and secondly, to enable trade to make up for losses in the future. Sunspear has not opened its port for thousands of years, and this time it was forced by Robert."
Oberon's tone became excited, "Robert doesn't trust us! He lied to us! The letter he gave you said he only wanted to destroy pirates. Now look at the port outside the city. There are thousands of warships! There are also a lot of them.
There are so many transport ships and Greenstone Castles in the north! He is planning to colonize the Stepstone Islands!"
Doran said calmly, "His letter is to test us. If we, Dorne, do not join the war, not only warships will come to Sunspear, but also cavalry and infantry.
Tyrosh is doomed this time. The war is launched in the name of the king. There will be a new duke on the Stepstone Islands. Brother, please save more of our Dornish forces and see if you can make friends with the new duke in advance. Stone
The Order Islands are right next to Dorne and are so important to us."
Oberon was very tired and pulled open his collar. "Of course I know the importance, but no one can see who the new duke is now. They are all guessing that Robert may be crowned with military exploits."
Doran's eyes suddenly lit up, "Could it be Veidt Baratheon? Although it has not been made public, the higher-ups know that this war was started by Veidt. I also got news that he also persuaded Volantis to contain Lys.
, provoking a decision-making conflict among the governors in the city of Myr, this credit is great enough."
Oberon didn't even think about it and said "impossible!"
Doran leaned forward, "Why is it impossible? His eldest brother is the king, his second brother is the Duke of Dragonstone, and his third brother is the Duke of Storm's End. He is just a little Lord of Antlers."
After saying this, Prince Doran raised his little finger and pinched his thumb between the first fingers of his little finger to gesture to Oberon.
Oberon still shook his head.
Doran went on to say, "If Witte controls the Stepstone Islands, which are the only transportation routes between the two continents, the Baratheon dynasty will reach its peak, and no one will dare to challenge their family's authority in the short term."<
/p>
Oberon looked at Doran, "You don't know Werther. He yearns for freedom. He would rather sell aphrodisiacs in Volantis than go back to manage his territory."
After saying that, he took out a small glass bottle filled with blue liquid from his arms and threw it at Doran. "Witt made it vigorously. It has a good effect. You might be able to have another child after drinking it."
Doran rubbed the vial in his hands, thought for a moment and put it in his pocket. "According to his previous behavior analysis, the territory was handed over to the royal family, and the business and magic school in Stormland were handed over to Renly. He traveled around, and it was indeed right.
Power doesn’t care much about it.”
Oberon was getting up. "He seems to be far away from power because he has absolute personal strength. In Braavos, he slaughtered the city by himself, and in Na Sa Star, he killed a river of blood, even the turtles were not spared. Don't look at it.
He doesn’t have any followers, that’s because he doesn’t need territory or an army to support his power. Wherever others stand, that’s the center of power! What lord does he want to do? Which lord dares to say no?”
Oberon recalled the world-destroying magic Witte had seen in Braavos, looked at his brother and said solemnly
"Brother, you pay too much attention to the Targaryen family. Dragons have become extinct, and Witte Baratheon has become the leader of a new force, the magician force. Needless to say, Renly, Witte's three wizard apprentices are
On the way to Dorne, one of them is the heir to the Duke of the North, and there is another one. As expected, brother, you will soon make her the Dawn Sword of this generation."
Daolang said nothing after listening and fell into deep thought.
With a bang, the door to the room was violently pushed open, and a girl rushed in. The guards following behind wanted to stop her but did not dare to take action.
Oberon and Doran saw clearly who was coming. Oberon waved his hand, and the guards retreated and closed the door.
"Uncle, is Damon Sand dead?"
The visitor was Princess Arianne Martell, the eldest daughter of Prince Doran. As soon as she came in, she questioned Oberon impolitely.
"Arianne, don't be rude!" Doran shouted.
Arianne didn't even look at her father, she looked at Oberon and continued
"You killed Damon Sand with your own hands, didn't you?"

Oberon lost his smile and said seriously
"Daemon Sand died for Dorne. He died very gloriously. His body has been brought back to the City of Divine Grace. I have cleared his name. He is now buried in the cemetery of the Elion family." p>
Arianne shed tears and questioned Doran with a cry.
"Why, why did he die? He was my first man. Father, you broke us up and let him follow his uncle. Why is he dead now? And who am I? Who are you going to let me marry?" p>
Doran was helpless. Arianne and Viserys Targaryen had a secret engagement before. This matter was too important. He told her that if she leaked it, it would directly trigger a war. But now Viserys was beheaded by Veidt.
The engagement will be automatically cancelled.
Doran "Daemon Sand lived up to his chivalry. He was a great knight."
"They also said that I had smallpox and locked me in the castle. I was not allowed to go out. I am already in my twenties. Do you want to curse me to never marry?" Arianne yelled.
When she was 14 years old, she discovered a letter from her father to her younger brother Quentin, promising that his younger brother Quentin would become the ruler of Dorne in the future. Arianne cried many times about this. After that, her father only arranged for her to have some old men and not to arrange a normal life for her.
After the marriage contract, she became resentful towards her father.
Dolan sighed, "You, do you have a sweetheart?"
"Yes, I'm lying in the cemetery now."
After Arianne finished speaking, she left without looking back.
Doran "Where are you going?"
"City of Divine Grace!"
The guard at the door looked at Daolang and waited for orders.
Dolan said, "Let her go, and send someone to follow her to protect her safety."
The guard nodded and accepted the order.
Doran asked Oberon, "There is only one Targaryen left in the family, Daenerys, and Arianne's engagement is gone. How about I let Quentin Martell enter into a engagement with Daenerys?" p>
Oberon thought for a while, "Although Werther let Daenerys go, it may be because she is still young and a girl, and it will be a few years before they get married."
Only a few people know about little Griffin. He is surrounded by Oberon's cronies, not Dorne's cronies. Oberon has never told his brother Doran.
Oberon took out a note and handed it to Doran. Doran asked strangely after reading it
"What the hell is this?"
Oberon put his head in his hands and lay on the chair and said lazily, "The information given by Varys the Eight-clawed Spider. He carefully observed the life of Vit Baratheon and analyzed his behavior for more than ten years.
The letter said it was possible to break Werther's magic."
Dolan took the note and read it out
"Witt has hated animal excrement since he was a child, and he doesn't even ride horses. How to explain this?"
Oberon explained literally, "There are many people who study magic. In the continent of Essos, there are wizards who use blood to make night shadow water, and the Lord of Light faction who uses fire sacrifices and prayers. Each magic school has its own
The characteristics of the Werther faction, maybe the magic of the Werther faction can be broken with feces."
Doran was very confused, "The letter also said that the magic school did not keep any pets or horses, and Renly did not keep animals, so it is really possible."
Oberon spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me. Although Werther is my son-in-law, and I heard him telling Tyene about magic knowledge on the ship, I have no magic power and can't understand what he said at all." p>
Doran: "Renly and three wizard apprentices should be participating in the war this time. Maybe Werther himself will also come. Would it be very troublesome if animal excrement is used as a weapon to deal with the magicians?"
Oberon smiled and said, "Let the sailors fill up the toilet buckets at night and don't pour them into the sea in the morning. It just smells a bit, so it's not troublesome."
Dolan looked at the note again, "The mage school eats meat, but they never kill chickens. They always buy killed chickens from the market?"
Although he is a prince, Dorang also has life experience. Nowadays, chickens are bought and slaughtered by himself. The lords and nobles eat the chickens, and the servants eat the chickens. The cost is cheaper and fresher than buying the slaughtered chickens directly.
Oberon "Looks like we're going to put a chicken coop on the boat."
Prince Doran: "Try it, pass the news to the pirates and the navy of Tyrosh, Lis and Myr. If it doesn't work, just treat it as extra food for the sailors. But if it succeeds, the legend of the mage will be broken."
