Game of Thrones: The Arrival of the Dragonborn Chapter 221: The Edge of War
In King's Landing and the Riverlands, everyone from the nobles to the common people are discussing the shocking Golden Dragon Robbery. The merchants are all panic-stricken, fearing that they will be robbed next, so they have temporarily stopped transportation in the Riverlands.
For the time being, lords from all over the world have brought their own men and horses to King's Landing to pick up the goods.
The goods could not be delivered and the orders were in breach of contract. Big merchants influenced small merchants. Arguments between foreign merchants and nobles turned into violence. All the golden robes were on duty and they were dealing with disputes in the city every day. Soon, the foreign merchants were
I want to leave King's Landing as soon as possible.
Littlefinger and Ramsay walked downstream along the Blackwater River, wrapped themselves in turbans and pretended to be Dornishmen. They soon found a Myr merchant team who was about to return. They paid the fare with their only golden dragon, and finally
They boarded the ship heading east. They now understood that there were dragons and crouching tigers in the continent of Westeros, and the two powerless and wanted criminals could be killed by those scheming nobles at any time. They had to go to the east continent as soon as possible to survive.
.
Time came to now, and the atmosphere of today's royal meeting was no longer as relaxed and happy as in the past. Robert drank one glass of wine after another.
In the nine-member parliamentary group, three seats are vacant.
Renly returned to Storm's End. Little Rose was pregnant and expecting a baby. Renly had already taken leave and transferred his voting rights as Minister of Justice to the Hand of the King.
Stannis is out on business. Now in peacetime, the royal fleet has absorbed a large number of ironmen. In addition to their own escort missions, there are also excess warships that can take on private work. Werther is a big benefactor. Now Stannis is taking
Part of the fleet went outside the Great Wall in the north to pick up the wildlings heading south to the disputed area. The voting rights of the Sea Lord now belong to King Robert.
Werther was also out on business, and the letters just sent back from Tyrosh, as well as the letters from Dorne, were circulated to everyone in the Imperial Council as usual.
Daenerys was captured alive by Werther in Meereen City, which should have been a great achievement worthy of celebration, but Quinyan Martell and Cletus Yinlonwood were also killed, plus the demon group and gold
During the Great Tribulation, several things piled up together, and Robert's brain power was not enough.
The death of Khal Drogo, a barbarian, was completely ignored by the Council.
Prime Minister Matus Rowan: "These matters are divided into two sides, and we will deal with them one by one. The arrest warrant for the demon group has been issued. The money stolen from the Western Territory must be in their hands. As long as they are found, the Western Territory can be restored.

This is my money! Robert wiped his face with his hands, took a sip of wine and said nothing.
"What should I do about Lord Janos Bracken's accusation of enslavement in the West and the compensation?" Finance Minister Mace Tyrell was very worried. This may concern Tywin.
"Your Majesty the King, Duke Tywin said that the demon group did not come from the Western Region, and his caravan also suffered losses." Prime Minister Matus Rowan said this, but several people in the royal meeting knew clearly that among them was too much.
Lots of questions, but no evidence.
Robert raised his head: "Varys?"
Wallis has gained a lot of weight recently and said with a smile: "Based on the interrogation results of the captured demon groups from various places, they are indeed from the Western Territory, but these people are illiterate and can't even figure out where the mines they escaped from are. There are so many mines in the Western Territory
.Your Majesty the King! If the rightful owner is not found, there is no way to convict him."
Robert: "Then follow the Prime Minister's approach and say that they are from the Eastern Continent and refuse Earl Bracken's compensation request."
Lord Bracken gave himself five daughters. Robert was a little worried that this 'future father-in-law' would do something drastic, so he planned to invite him to King's Landing for a drink later. He was just a bandit, so he shouldn't care too much about it. "Everyone, now Dorne and the Stepstones are on the verge of war, what should we do?" Duke Mace spoke quickly and nervously. Once war breaks out in Dorne, the Reach will be the first to be affected.
The letter from Lord Anders Yinlenwood was not only sent to King's Landing, but also to other nobles. He was already gathering soldiers and vassals to prepare for Tyrosh. Prince Doran said in the letter that his legs and feet were inconvenient and he could only make do with it.
Persuade him, but Witte Baratheon must go to Sunspear to apologize and give Dorne an explanation.
Prime Minister Rowan: "A full-scale war has begun. The troops on the Stepstone Islands will definitely not be able to withstand the Dornish people now. Earl Yinlenwood is going to cause trouble, and Prince Doran can't control it. Varys, is there any news about other Dornish nobles?"<
/p>
Varys: "The Elion family in Divine Grace City, the Blemen family in Blemen City, and the Weir family in Bone Road. These three powerful families have made it clear that they will support Earl Yinlenwood. There is no news about the others yet.
, but with the prestige of Yin Lunwood and Martell, this is only a matter of time."
Prime Minister Rowan: "Your Majesty the King, now that Dorne's letter has reached you, a decision must be made. Either the Martell family will be charged with collaborating with the enemy and restoring the enemy, and we will go to war with Dorne again. Or delay the time and wait for Werther to come back to let him
Solve it yourself."
It was another headache. Robert didn't know how to choose, so he asked everyone in the royal council to vote. The result of the vote was to let Werther solve it himself.
Robert had a headache for a moment and did not give the final order. The Dornish people may not be very strong in frontal combat, but they refused to admit defeat. The dragon burned all the cities in Dorne three times and still resisted. Now they are going to war with Dorne, but they are gone.
What benefits can we get? "If Veidt comes back with the dragon, can we defeat Dorne?"
Wallis: "Your Majesty the King, isn't this the proposal we voted for, and is it the same thing as waiting for Werther to come back to resolve it?"
After thinking about it, Robert finally gave the order: "Okay, Grand Maester Pachel, send a reply to Prince Doran in my name to delay the matter and let him wait for Werther to come back to solve the problem."
Now except for Robert, everyone present at the Royal Council does not want to start a war. The long-term peace and the one-sided war on the Stepped Islands have made many people start to enjoy themselves and try to maintain this situation.
Prime Minister Rowan: "The Duke of Mace, the lord of the southern part of the Reach must raise an army and prepare to resist the Dornish people."
Once the army is summoned, production and commerce will be affected. The former vassals gained power, and now they are ordering themselves. The Duke of Metz is very unhappy, but he can't think of a reason to refute: "I know!"
Prime Minister Luo Wan smiled: "One last thing, I suggest killing Daenerys in the hands of Duke Werther. What do you think?"
Varys immediately objected: "Your Majesty Prime Minister, now we senior officials know that Prince Rhaegar's son Yin Geng is still alive. Wouldn't killing Daenerys just give him an excuse to counterattack Westeros? I suggest that Daenerys be killed
Bring the ribbon back to King's Landing as a hostage."
Prime Minister Rowan: "Lord Varys, Duke Werther said in his letter that Daenerys owns two dragons. How can she bring them back so easily?"
"Lord Werther can capture her alive and bring her back to King's Landing. You have to believe in the chief sorcerer's ability!" Varys wanted to save Daenerys' life, so he began to tit for tat and brought out Werther to fight Rowan. p>
Robert felt relieved when Werther was doing things, and finally made a decisive decision: "It's just a girl, let Werther take her back to King's Landing. That's it for today. I'm a little tired."
"As you command, Your Majesty the King!"
"Dorne and the Stepstones are at war? Dorne and Westeros are at war? No, there is a third possibility!"
At the port of Lys City, Oberon is preparing to board the ship. He is in good spirits, but his face has lost some weight.
"Oberon, are you going back to Sunspear alone?" Ellaria Shad pulled Oberon's arm.
Oberon stroked her hair: "Now a small spark can ignite the flames of war, so it's up to me to ignite it. Only I can influence this situation by returning to Sunspear City in person."
Ellaria: "Aren't you going to take someone with you?"
Oberon: "I will go back alone, with a few personal guards. Once there are more people, the nature will change."
Ellaria suddenly hugged him: "I'll go with you."
Oberon said in her ear: "You may die if you go, will you come too?"
Ellaria Sand looked up at Oberon: "I have given you four daughters, what else do you want?"
Oberon let go of his hand and laughed: "Hahaha, then come with me. Don't worry, I won't die that easily!"
"Father!" Ellaria Sand looked at Earl Haman who had some white hair on his temples with some reluctance.
Earl Harman Uller nodded to his daughter: "Go and take care of Oberon. Your uncle is already in Tyrosh City. The Uller family of Hellgate Castle will write down their deeds in the history books, and the future of Dorne will be great."
