Now that Sunspear is under the control of his nephew Horos Targaryen, Quentin Martell, the former heir of Sunspear and the prince of Dorne for decades, naturally cannot sit still.
He saw that the situation was getting more and more out of control, and the nobles and soldiers around him began to follow Prince Doran's orders and turn their allegiance to Horos. Quentin decided not to care about the feelings between his uncle and nephew and just sit back and wait for death.
So Quentin hurriedly began to look for his allies.
The first ally he could find, and the person he trusted the most, was his biological brother, Prince Tristan Martell.
And Tristan didn't seem to be surprised to hear his brother's intention. After all, the fall of Dorne's power is the most important thing in Sunspear at the moment.
This incident did not have a great impact on Tristan. He had no inheritance rights anyway. He could be the Prince of Dorne for the rest of his life. If his brother succeeded to the throne, he could still be the Prince of Dorne.
As for future generations, that has nothing to do with him. The orthodox inheritance of the Martell family is the matter of his brother Quentin.
Therefore, Tristan had already guessed his brother's intention.
"It's just that there are countless people in Sunspear who have been bribed by our good nephew."
After listening to what his brother Quentin said, Tristan pondered for a moment and said.
"I believe that most people will not be bribed by him and will still be loyal to the Martell family!"
However, after Tristan finished speaking, Quentin Martell spoke decisively.
Quentin still has this kind of confidence. Everyone praises Prince Dolan for being careful, extremely intelligent, thoughtful, and unfathomable. Every word and every action will be carefully weighed for its importance and consequences.
Oberyn is worthy of the name of a poisonous snake, dangerous and deadly, unpredictable, no one dares to step on him, while Prince Doran is like the grass swaying in the wind, diligent and gentle, kind and fragrant.
No one is afraid of green grass.
But it is the green grass that covers the poisonous snake's whereabouts. The green grass is the protective umbrella of the poisonous snake, covering it to kill the enemy.
However, even though Quentin is not as capable as his father in scheming, he is still extremely shrewd after being around him for so many years.
Each of the ancient families that have existed in Westeros for thousands of years has its own way of survival.
If even this bit of loyalty was not guaranteed, then the Martell family would not have existed for so many years without being wiped out.
"Is it?"
Prince Tristan just nodded to his brother's words without comment.
"However, they are still loyal to the Martell family. They followed Prince Doran's orders and did not violate their oath."
This is also the reason why Horos was able to master Sunspear so quickly.
With Prince Doran's endorsement, ordinary Martell family soldiers chose to carry out the order despite their doubts.
In addition, there are interests to clear the way, there is money to take, there is no danger, and there is an order from the prince. They are ordinary people and have no need to worry about aristocratic gentlemen. What reason do they have to refuse?
"you're right."
Tristan's words made Quentin choke slightly, but if he thought about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with Tristan's words.
After all, he is only the heir of Sunspear and the prince of Dorne, not the real Prince of Dorne, and he does not have such a big say yet.
As long as his father, Prince Doran, survives, he will always be the prince of Dorne.
But for some reason Quentin always felt that his younger brother seemed to be helping his nephew Holos to speak, as if something was wrong.
However, Quentin couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only shake his head and didn't think much about it. He gave up the idea and just pretended that his younger brother was thinking about countermeasures and spoke without hesitation.
But Tristan on the other side didn't know that his brother had thought so much. He thought about it seriously and then suggested it.
"No matter what, some people in Sunspear City have indeed been bribed by that boy."
Now they don't care about talking about the etiquette of monarchs and ministers behind their backs.
News from King's Landing has gradually spread, although they have not yet learned that their uncle, Prince Oberon, has died in the battle, King's Landing has also been captured by the eldest princess Diana, and Horos has become a bereaved dog.
Because in this era, message transmission is indeed very slow, unless there are special means such as glass candles.
Now the intelligence received by Dorne is that the army of the eldest prince Horos has encountered Waterloo since the Battle of Highgarden. After being defeated by the enemy in an epic victory, it has been losing consecutive battles and is now heading towards King's Landing.
Back up.
So Quentin breathed a sigh of relief when he received the news.
He also thought that the situation for Horos had been decided, and wanted to take this opportunity to directly add Dorne to the administrative system of the empire and abolish the special status promised to Dorne by his father, Emperor Viserys.
If Horos really defeated Yin Meng completely, the overall situation has been decided, and he wants to break the contract and take back the rule of Dorne.
Let alone Quentin, even if his father, Prince Doran, were thirty years younger, it would not help.
After all, the Targaryen family now rules half of the known world and has established a huge empire. It may be impossible for Dorne to use the terrain to work together to resist the dragon.
Therefore, after hearing that the eldest prince Heros suffered a disastrous defeat, Quentin had the courage to take back what should be his own, and went to his younger brother Tristan to discuss strategies.
"Tristan, what do you mean?"
After hearing what his brother Tristan said, Quentin asked.
"Since some people in Sunspear can no longer be trusted, we have no way to identify them."
"Then we can only quickly contact other Dornish nobles who are loyal to the Martell family while Hroth has not yet won over him."
"I don't know why my father got so mad that he actually gave the title of Prince of Dorne to someone with a foreign surname. Then you can't blame us for being ruthless."
When his brother asked, Tristan gritted his teeth and said everything in his heart.
"Trystan?"
After he finished speaking, Quentin on the other side was a little shocked.
He originally wanted to discuss with his younger brother how to deal with his nephew Horos Targaryen, who was occupying the magpie's nest, but he did not expect that his younger brother actually wanted to deal with his bedridden father as well.
However, Quentin was shocked, but then he changed his mind and thought about it carefully, thinking that he was now in his forties.
Although my father was in poor health and bedridden, and every time he looked like he was about to leave with only one breath left, he never died.
Therefore, I can only suffer like this, and now I suddenly went crazy and gave up my control to a person with a foreign surname. If I take advantage of this opportunity,
