Veidt sat in the library of Storm's End and began to systematically study his family's books. Hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the Baratheon family followed Aegon the Conqueror into Westeros and inherited Wind's End.
Castle, and subsequent descendants have also served as kings' hands many times, so there are many books in the family castle, including anecdotes and miscellaneous books on the Eastern Continent.
[Before I traveled through time, I only focused on fighting, killing, and fighting for power in this fictional world.
But now that I have traveled through time, I realize that this is a real world, from the farmers who grow the food, to the mills that grind it into flour, and the chefs that bake it into bread. Everything is not conjured out of thin air or is just a noun or number. Since everything must be traceable, even the game system becomes hardcore after time travel, then gods, ancient magic, Valyrian steel and dragons will definitely have their own rules. If you want to understand this world, you can't just
If you rely on the books or TV series you have read before, you can only rely on learning and practice]
I spent my time reading books, exercising and doing magic. If I had nothing to do, I would go to the blacksmith Donal Noy to exchange forging skills. After all, he had modern knowledge. After receiving some guidance, Donal had become the most skilled blacksmith in Storm's End. Now
He also brought five apprentices.
Fast forward to the next year, the second day of the Harrenhal Tourney in 281.
Robert and Stannis also went to compete, and now the acting Lord of Storm's End Castle is his second cousin Andrew Ismond. All the nobles in Westeros went to participate in this seven-day event, and only the New Year
Youhe's second son was left at home to stay at home. His second cousin is now their only son, but there is no way. There is no one left in both families, so they can only keep him.
Werther, Renly and his second cousin were having dinner together. Maester Cressen came over and read out the message brought by the messenger crow from Harrenhal. The letter had the wax seal of the Baratheon family, and the letter was from Stannis.
Written.
Nobles across the continent are now paying attention to Harrenhal. The number of messenger crows flying out from Harrenhal every day is too large to be counted, so the news did not arrive until the afternoon of the next day.
"There is news that Aerys encouraged the sick king to participate in the tourney. At the opening ceremony, the king announced that fifteen-year-old Jaime Lannister would become a member of the Kingsguard and wear white robes. The Kingsguard would not grant lands or marry.
, childless. A very grand dinner was held in Harrenhal that night. Tywin Lannister lost the heir he had cultivated, and his face was ashen and his eyes were bloodshot."
"Iris also wants to get involved in the highest power? A eunuch will always be a eunuch." Second cousin Andrew was full of disdain for Elis and took the letter and continued reading
"Having become a member of the Kingsguard at the age of fifteen, James is probably the youngest one, right?" the second brother said in amazement. It is estimated that many young knights across the continent envy and admire James. In fact, there is also a 12-year-old knight.
He became a knight because of his bravery and proficiency in battle, but due to various reasons, a lot of information about him has been artificially erased, and many people don't know about it.
But the news that is more important to the heads of the noble clans and those who know how to fight for power is that Duke Tywin has lost the first heir he focused on cultivating. Although he still has a second son, the second son is a dwarf who is looked down upon by the entire continent. If it weren't for He was born into the Lannister family and was probably sold to the circus as a child.
For several days after that, there was news about the martial arts tournament.
Who won the championship in archery and ax throwing was knighted, who was eliminated, Robert killed everyone after a year of training, which families made marriage contracts, Ed Stark and a certain girl had already Grow up.
There is also the mysterious Knight of the Laughing Tree who defends the honor of Gray Waterwatch in the north. Even the king does not know his identity. He disappeared after winning a few games. Robert bet 10 golden dragons and said that based on his experience, he laughed. The Masked Tree Knight must be a woman.
But the news on the seventh day of the contest was not transmitted on the eighth day, and it was not until three days later that the news was received from other lords:
In the final jousting competition, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen defeated his opponent, Ser Barristan Mysal, the Kingsguard. Amid the cheers of the audience, he rode past his wife, the mother of two children. Elijah Martell placed the blue rose wreath, which symbolizes the queen of love and beauty, on Lyanna Stark's knee. At that time, the entire venue was immediately silent. The arena stands that were originally filled with laughter and cheers were now filled with laughter and cheers. There was total silence, and it felt like even the wind had stopped.
This matter can be big or small. Although there is no explicit regulation, everyone in Westeros tacitly believes that giving the wreath of victory in the tourney to a lady is a courtship ceremony for a single knight. If the winner is married, the responsibility will be paid. By default, it is a folk custom to give the wreath to the host's female relatives first. But it was known to the world that Rhaegar was married, and he presented the wreath to Lyanna, which was an insult to his wife's family.
It was not until a week after the game that I received a letter from Stannis. The letter mentioned some information that only the person involved knew:
"Prince Oberon, as the biological brother of Prince Rhaegar's wife, went to question Prince Rhaegar privately with Brandon Stark. After that, Oberon directly returned to King's Landing with his sister Elijah, and Brandon also took his sister Rhaegar with him. Anna left Harrenhal that night, and no one knew what they talked about.
Robert generously said that this was Prince Rhaegar's compliment to his fiancée's beauty, because he had told the prince before. But Ed, who knew Robert's character, thought that Robert must want to chop Rhaegar into pieces and feed it to the dogs!
There is also Prime Minister Tywin Lannister who resigned after the King returned to the Red Keep. The new Prime Minister is Owain Maweweis. No one can figure out the King's current behavior. Before, Tywin was able to control some of the King's actions when he was in office. The crazy royal order has been brought back, and now that Tywin is gone, Owen's ability cannot stop the king from going crazy."
After reading the above letter, Werther, as a person familiar with the plot, thought:
[The most important event in Westeros in 300 years has begun. I am less than 4 years old now. Although I cannot change the entire situation, I can still avoid certain tragedies on a small scale.]
Suddenly I thought of the weirwood tree in the courtyard, and I felt a chill all over my body.
[In this world, there is a person like the Three-Eyed Crow who can predict hundreds of years, and as a time traveler, is he an enemy or a friend to him? If he is an enemy, he has no idea where he is hiding outside the Great Wall in the north, and
I can monitor myself anytime he wants, and it’s really hard to deal with this person who has all the charts turned on.]
[Destiny cannot be changed, but I have traveled through time, which shows that historical destiny can be changed. But the inertia of history must be great, and the small wings of a butterfly may not be able to flap. Now I am a 4-year-old child of the Baratheon family, doing things
It has to be in line with one's own interests. People in this world are all smart, and they can't just say "Princes" and just follow them.】
[Robert is outstanding in martial arts. He is a leader with a charlatanism. He can see the good in others and use them. He can even turn enemies into friends and sit down to drink together and become friends. But his self-control is particularly poor. Ed and his adoptive father
It’s okay to have someone by your side to supervise you, but once no one cares, you’ll just let it go.
Stannis likes to deal with government affairs, but his ability is average and he is particularly bad at dealing with people. He also likes to get into trouble when doing things.
Renly is still young, you can transform him yourself.]
From the War of the Reavers launched by Robert next year to the 10 years after becoming king, these are 10 years that are beneficial to the Baratheon family. You must ensure that these things will happen, and you cannot let history change because of the extra you.
