After hearing the pirate governor's words, anyone else might have shouted loudly for guards to come over, or driven him out, but the women of the Iron Islands were certainly not ordinary.
Clang
Asha heard what he said, and instead of driving him out, she put the dagger back into its sheath, pinned it to the tight leather pants around her waist, then crossed her legs and spoke with interest.
"I hope to get the support of the empire."
And the dark-skinned pirate governor Salladhor Saan spoke without hesitation.
"Imperial support?"
Asha narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this.
"Yes, I want to become the unique governor of Myr and kill Morse and Orton Adris."
Then the pirate governor Salladhor Saan revealed his ambitions directly and without any concealment.
Salado Sann came from a humble background. His mother was a tavern waitress, and his father abandoned her after getting his mother pregnant. Later, Salado's mother was forced to make a living and became a bed slave until
When she died.
Salado remembers that when he was a child, his family didn't even have a pair of decent shoes, so he had to run around barefoot on the floor all day, eating food that was unpalatable to others, and being filled with flies and mosquitoes.
Therefore, Salladhor Saan's biggest dream in this life is to kill his irresponsible father and change the fate of himself and his descendants.
However, the former has been difficult to achieve. Salado's mother had died of illness while he was at sea many years ago, and he did not know who his father was. As for the latter
This is exactly the dream that this great pirate who roams the Narrow Sea and the Summer Sea has been pursuing.
He hopes to change his own destiny, and he hopes that his descendants will not have to endure the suffering he suffered.
At first, Salado thought he only needed to get enough money. However, after he slowly robbed a large amount of money, he realized that the opportunity to change his destiny was not the amount of money, but the change of identity.
As a pirate, don't try to be respected by others in your life.
No matter how much money he robbed, no matter how many businessmen were frightened by the news, he could not change this. It was even difficult to sneak into the city because he was wanted everywhere.
Especially when he heard that his friend Davos Seaworth, who had been a smuggler, quit and became the Earl of the Rainforest.
Then he became Stannis's number one confidant, and now after the country was pacified, he became the rich and powerful Customs Master.
Davos Seaworth's reputation as a smuggler has gradually faded, and even the 'Onion Knight' has become a good name in Westeros.
Davos relied on himself to correct his evil ways and embark on the right path. It is almost foreseeable that in a few years the name of the 'Onion Knight' will no longer be mentioned.
Even when his son inherits his family business, the Seaworth family will become a true noble, not the 'sons of smugglers'.
With such a vivid example in front of him, his friend suddenly became a noble, so Salladhor Sang gradually began to be moved, wanting to join a strong and stable force to change himself and the fate of his descendants.
He has now reached the age where he must consider these things.
Because of this, when the Governor's Council of Lys found Salladhor Saan, he agreed immediately.
The Governor's Council of Lys hopes that he can return to Mir as a wandering Myr and become the spokesperson for Lys' interests, and accordingly Lys will support him to become the Governor of Myr. Salladhor heard this without any hesitation.
Agreed.
But after arriving in Myr, Salladhor discovered that everything was different from what the Lysians had promised him.
First of all, he is not the only one who has the final say here, there is also the spokesperson of Volantis, Governor Morse, and the spokesperson of Lord Tyrosh, Orton Adris.
Moreover, he did not do whatever he wanted in Myr. He did not look like a governor at all, and was restricted by the Lysians everywhere.
The other two governors would always give him a stumbling block overtly or covertly. Salado, who was a pirate, was proficient in fighting and could kill people with a knife, but he was not good at cutting flesh with a soft knife in this kind of politics and business.
And although he led a group of pirates across the sea, he could not easily kill those two people.
Because Governor Morse and Orton Adris also have the Tiger Pavilion Army and the Unsullied Guards of Tyrosh, and even if they are killed, Salladhor Saan will not be able to defend Myr.
Because the Lysians would not allow him to take action, this would arouse hostility between Volantis and Tyrosh against Lys, and even trigger a war.
The people of Lys do not have the ability to face these two powerful enemies at the same time, so if Salladhor Saan takes action to eliminate the other two Myr governors without permission, it is very likely that Volantis, Lys and Tyrosh will join forces.
Encirclement and suppression by the army.
Therefore, although on the surface he was very prosperous and always had a group of brothers to protect him when he went out, in fact Salladhor's life in Myr was very miserable until the messenger from the Iron Throne arrived, along with two thousand elite soldiers.
Navy soldiers stationed at the port.
It was not convenient for Salado to discuss these matters with Asha in detail during the day. The other two people beside him had many informants, but at night he changed into his night clothes and went into battle personally to sneak into Governor Morse's manor.
Governor Morse's own room was heavily fortified, and Salado could not sneak in. However, the place where the imperial envoy lived was on the outskirts of the manor, and only his own people were used for protection, so Salado sneaked in.
"I am willing to capture Mir for Your Majesty, and there is only one condition, which is to make me the governor of Mir."
Then Salladhor Saan continued to speak.
"Of course, if His Majesty is concerned about his face and does not want Myr, then I am willing to become the spokesman for the interests of the Iron Throne, deliver benefits to the empire, and swear allegiance to Your Majesty forever."
To put it simply, Salladhor now wants to seize Myr and become the 'Prince of Myr'. He has a group of pirates under his command who are capable of fighting, and may have the ability to do it, but he lacks a person to back him up.
He didn't need the Imperial Navy to help him attack the guards of the other two governors, it was enough for them to just stand there and not interfere.
Moreover, if Viserys wanted Myr, Myr would become part of the Empire.
And if Viserys cares about his international reputation, then Salladhor will become the spokesperson of the Iron Throne in Myr, just like his previous job, and deliver tangible benefits to the Iron Throne.
Who doesn’t like golden dragons?
Myr is actually still subordinate to Viserys, but is nominally independent.
On the other side, Asha Greyjoy, who was sitting by the window with her legs crossed, fell into deep thought after hearing his words.
