"This is not only a matter for the Harlaw family, but also for the honor of us Iron Islanders. We must not let Theon escape!" Lord Dunstan Drum, the leader of Old Wake Island, Bonehand, shouted at the top of his lungs.
. He hung the Valyrian steel sword Red Rain in the most conspicuous position on his waist, and was watching the conflicting parties at the intersection not far away. He staggered.
Dunstan didn't have any good intentions. If the Harlaw family died, he would have one less opponent. If Theon died, Harlaw would also be punished by the king.
"Yes!" "We iron people will never back down, don't be cowardly! Fuck him!"
Other members of the Iron Islands family who were watching on the street began to make fire, and they all looked like they were not too concerned about the matter.
With the help of his bold and cautious sister Asha, Theon's focus has become Orion, who has somehow become his brother-in-law.
Rodrik Harlaw originally just wanted to come over and say a few harsh words to arouse Theon's anger and make him take action first, but Orion came to stabilize the situation. Now he is riding a tiger and is in a difficult position. If he does it, it is against the law. If he doesn't, it will be embarrassing.
Either go or stay.
"Earl Oren, the nobles across the country know that Theon snatched the Night Sword. This is a personal grudge between Theon and I. I advise you not to help. The Tyrosh Navy is not your own private army!"
Rodrik wanted to keep Orion out of trouble.
"Count Harlaw, I am not just the commander of the northwest navy of Tyrol. Maybe you haven't received the news yet, but Duke Werther has appointed me as the governor of Myr. Theon's fiefdom is in Myr. I handle his affairs both publicly and privately.
You have to take care of it." Oren said calmly.
"You became the Governor of Myr? Have you heard the news?" Rodrik asked the tribesmen around him. They all looked confused and unaware.
"Mir City was purchased by Duke Werther himself and is a private territory. The Governor is not a confederate, but a management position. Who is awarded it is entirely decided by Duke Werther and does not need to be reported to the Imperial Council." Asha added helpfully.
There is another reason to provoke Theon. Provoking Tyrosh nobles is something that no one in the Iron Islands wants to happen. Rodrik was speechless for a moment. He wanted to retreat but did not want to lose face, but he was deadlocked. Orion was not in a hurry.
She stopped talking to him and only chatted with Asha.
A person walks quickly on the wall next to the street, leaving behind a purple figure wherever he goes. Some of the shadows keep jumping over the window sill, and some of them grab the wall with one hand and sprint sideways. The first one
Before the shadow disappeared, the fast-moving person left another one in front. It looked like a person pulled out a dozen purple shadows and followed behind him.
Only the human form can be seen in the purple shadows, but the one-shouldered cloak raised behind each shadow. Anyone who has been to King's Landing knows that the person who is flying over the wall is the golden robe Lord Commander Sir Jon Snow.
After receiving a report that there was a conflict between nobles, Jon, who was maintaining order at the foot of Dragon's Lair Hill, immediately rushed over. He walked along the wall above the crowded crowd, jumped lightly, and landed squarely in the middle of the conflicting parties.
After landing, Jon did not mention the conflict between the two parties. He took out his pocket watch and looked at the two of them and said: "Earl Harlaw, Earl Oren, there is still an hour before the king's enthronement ceremony. There are many people today. If we don't start now, we will not be able to catch up.
."reclined
Oren smiled and pointed forward: "Sir Jon, please divert the crowd, we can't leave now even if we want to."
"Yes, yes, everyone is stuck here!" Count Harlow also hurriedly walked down the steps.
Jon's duties today were too important and he didn't have time to catch up with everyone, so he immediately sent a signal to the golden robes in the rear to evacuate the crowd.
According to the level of the king's ascension to the throne, the ceremony must be presided over by the High Bishop of the Seven Gods. Now the voices of rebuking Stannis within the Seven Gods are rising loudly. There are also a large number of believers from the Reach to King's Landing to petition. Baelor of King's Landing City
The church also disagreed with its use. After Baratheon and others discussed it, they moved the enthronement ceremony to the large square next to the magic school.
The top of the Dragon Cave hill is very wide. Even after the expansion of the magic school, it only occupies a small corner. After clearing the rubble, there are still stone floors that were paved more than a hundred years ago. A few damaged places have long been destroyed by Aoda.
Wei Ying repaired it with dragon fire.
This time the nobles from all over the country gathered together, and the Red Castle hall could no longer accommodate it. Only this square was big enough, and Werther didn't have to worry about rain because he had the magic to disperse the dark clouds.
There were so many nobles coming, some big and some small. The seven dragons Werther and Renly were afraid that some children might accidentally anger them, so they did not let them descend to the square and kept hovering over the square.
None of the nobles who participated in the king's coronation ceremony had seats. The only seat in the audience was a gorgeous chair on a high platform in the middle. Stannis could sit on it after he was awarded the crown.
More and more nobles walked onto the square, and slowly walked to their respective positions according to the ducal flags erected in different areas.
Two little girls, one with black hair and one with blond hair, took advantage of their short stature to run around in the crowded crowd. It was Arya Stark holding Rosamund Lannister.
The two are similar in age, and Arya somehow becomes the "teacher" to the shy and introverted Rosamund.
"Look, Teacher Witte has been standing there for several hours without blinking. It's amazing!" Lying on the edge of the high platform, Rosamund pointed at the three people standing next to the 'throne' with a look of admiration.
Arya looked over and saw Stannis in the middle, Renly and Werther on either side. From a distance, the three of them seemed to be talking about something. Now that they were very close, they could see their bodies.
Keep your mouth straight, don't open your mouth or blink, and only raise your arms from time to time.
"Haha, as long as you are familiar with Mr. Witte, you will know that he will never stand there stupidly. These three people are all illusions! Come on, I will take you to the backstage to find him."
"Arya! Go back and stand still!"
Just as Arya was about to drag Rosamund backstage, there was a loud shout.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It's over, it's been discovered." After Arya saw the person coming, she returned to the crowd honestly.
Arya is so lawless that she can't even control her father and brother Robb. Every thing is suppressed, and as long as Ashara yells, she will immediately become honest.
Eddard and Robb have the spirit of chivalry, and they only verbally discipline Arya as she grows up, but the effect is minimal. Ashara is also a woman and a violent maniac. When she disciplines her half-sister Arya, she draws a sword.
Just cut it and call it agility training.
Arya is back and stands next to her father Eddard in the front row. Rosamund's parents are at the back of Tyrosh's team, while Rosamund herself is with the people from the magic school.
The nobles gathered in the square, whether they had enemies or had good relations, the conversation stopped. It was time for the enthronement ceremony.
The three Stannis on the high platform walked into the backstage, and soon the three of them came out again.
"Look, I knew they were fake!"
"Quiet!" Sansa's white mask hung on her chest and she reached out to cover Arya's mouth.
Stannis was wearing a golden robe, and the original Mediterranean hairstyle on his head was shaved and smeared with a little grease, making it extremely bright in the sun.
Robert's widow Queen Doris Rowan and Princess Jocelyn, Stannis's wife Selyse Florent and daughter Shireen, four ladies also stood on the stage.
Werther and Renly stood on both sides of the throne. Their families and children stood in a row on the side of the high platform. Four children were crowded together. Nymeria and Margaery stood on the left and right next to the four children.
.
The cardinal archbishop, who was too fat to walk, was carried onto the high platform by eight monks. With help, he finally stood upright. After taking a look at Werther, he took the prepared amplifying magic tube and began to chant the seven chapters with difficulty.
God's blessing. He was invited by Werther himself to the Great Sept of Baelor after a discussion. Werther felt that he was very knowledgeable about current affairs.
The monk dragged a velvet dish over, and on it was a crown made of gold, which Robert had used.
At the end of the speech, Stannis knelt on one knee in front of the High Bishop, and the crown was placed on Stannis' head in the hands of the High Bishop.
The new king of Westeros is Stannis Baratheon, and he also has a new queen and princess. Warm cheers erupted in the square.
After the cheers, it was time for the new king to say a few words.
Stannis raised his hands high: "I declare that all prisoners in King's Landing will be pardoned!"
After the new king ascended the throne, he granted amnesty, an old tradition that had been maintained for hundreds of years, and there was another burst of cheers.
The underground cell in the Red Fort was empty. At the cell door of the Capital Guard barracks, the guard who watched the door saw the signal from the Dragon Cave Hill, took out the key and opened the cell door. He stumbled.
"The king has granted me a pardon, please get out quickly!"
"What? I don't want amnesty, I have really committed a crime!" A prisoner started to make a fuss and refused to go out.
"Yes, we are sinners, you have to keep me locked up!" Other prisoners were unwilling to walk out of the cell door.
The guard was unhappy and pulled out the long stick from his waist: "The king's order has been issued. You are all innocent people now. Get out and don't occupy the cell!"
"Not guilty? Brothers, beat him up!" A prisoner thought of this idea and pulled his brother to do it. When other prisoners saw this, they also gathered around and greeted the guard in the face.
"You see, we have committed a crime by attacking the city guards." The prisoners were very conscious. After beating the guards, they walked into the cell themselves, locked the cell door and threw the key to him.
"Give me Tyrosh! Give me Tyrosh!" No longer caring about the bruised and bruised guards on the ground, the prisoners chanted the slogan over and over again in the cell.
Except for the nobles in the north and related relatives, almost all nobles on the mainland are no longer allowed to immigrate. The mountains belong to the lord, the land belongs to the lord, the river belongs to the lord, and the population also belongs to the lord. Tyrosh can make a lot of money,
If we don't care as before, a large number of people will be lost to Tyrosh. Those who still think about the past think of committing crimes in King's Landing and being drafted into the army.
In the square, after cheering, the new king Stannis announced his second policy after coming to power: "I serve as the king of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, and the guardian of the whole realm.
In the name of King’s Landing, gambling is officially declared legal in King’s Landing!”
Boom~~~
There was no cheering this time, and the nobles in the square exploded. Some were surprised, and some were gloating.
The fat Archbishop, who had just presided over the enthronement ceremony and was resting next to him, was so angry that he fainted after hearing Stannis's policy. He could no longer take the position of High Septon.
Regardless of the noisy nobles or the nobles in the audience who wanted to express their opinions, Stannis directly announced the end of the ceremony and adjourned the meeting.
Exciting! This is the common feeling of all the nobles today. Dare to directly violate the dogma of the Seven Gods and go against the church. You are truly worthy of the gambling king Stannis.
Some old-school nobles began to contact each other and wanted to go to the Red Keep tomorrow to persuade Stannis to take back the king's orders. The prohibition of gambling is not only prohibited by the church, but also a dogma adhered to by most nobles. If Stannis does this, it will leave people with excuses and
Infamy will arouse public anger.
Now the believers of the church are heading to King's Landing on foot. Their purpose is to prevent Stannis from ascending the throne. Now that he has ascended the throne, their purpose is to put pressure and write the dogma prohibiting gambling into the official laws of the kingdom.
The new king was like Maegor Targaryen back then, directly confronting the church, and explosive news spread like wildfire.
Just after reaching the outskirts of Highgarden, the team of believers led by the High Sparrow also received news from the believers.
More believers joined the team, and they shouted slogans to oppose Stannis's tyranny, to accept the judgment of the Seven Gods, to parade through the streets to wash away his sins, and then to take back the king's life.
The High Sparrow calmed the agitated believers and calmed them down with his smile.
In the conference room of the Prime Minister's Tower in the Red Keep, Varys, Onion Knight Davos and Andrew Ismon sat across from each other at the square table.
"Varys, tell me the news you got!" Andrew said with a bad smile.
"My little birds, some of them have eaten food they shouldn't eat and have broken away." Wallis became fatter, and his cheeks bulged high when he smiled.
"It seems that the High Sparrow does have some tricks up his sleeve." Davos said with a gloomy face.
"The three of us are colleagues engaged in intelligence work. We use different methods to collect intelligence on the High Sparrow. It will be of no benefit to anyone if we go around in circles all afternoon. Let's talk openly and honestly." Andrew's words seemed to be right for both parties.
What people say is actually only for Varys. He studied business with Davos in his early years, and the two have a very good relationship.
"One of you is the deputy of His Majesty the King, and the rest of the people everywhere are your spies. The other is the intelligence officer of Tyrosh. The Dragon Cult is very powerful now! As for me, I am just here to help those who have lost their loved ones.
The children are looking for food to eat." Wallis said in a very pitiful tone.
After Robert died and Stannis succeeded to the throne, Varys, the intelligence chief of the royal council, began to worry about his position. Once he lost his position, many people wanted his life. In order to decide whether to stay or run away, he took the initiative to find two people.
people.
Davos stretched out his broken hand and put it on the table: "Varys, I'll just tell you one thing, Stannis is not Maegor."
Wise people don’t need to say anything. Wallis nodded after hearing this, and the two looked at Andrew again.
Varys understands, and Davos also understands that Andrew is usually cynical no matter where he is. If it were five years ago, he would have been like this. But after following Werther for so many years, now he is just for
camouflage.
Andrew grinned: "Varys, you know, Werther is my cousin, and we usually talk about everything. Once he was drunk and quietly told me that he wanted to completely conquer Pentos!"
Having said this, Andrew leaned towards Varys and looked into his eyes with a sudden serious look on his face: "Varys, you are from Pentos. If you provide appropriate help, Werther will give you the same reward!"
Varys put away his smile. He knew that he could not keep his position in the Red Keep. Witte gave him a way out. As long as he helped capture Pentos, that would be his destination. What level of reward could he get?
