Chapter 533 Little Girl Zhuge (Part 1)Myrcella is not having an easy time these days, but Igor can be reassured that it has nothing to do with him forgetting the other person, or even the opposite, his neglect makes things a little bit easier...
Because he is the castle The main source of problems for most people in the country.
With the trust and courage that I look back on, I feel like an evil spirit, Little Princess chooses to trust Igor and assist him in attacking oneself's "new home" Winterfell, there is no House Stark in the process of changing ownership of the castle The sacrifice of members is good news, but it only reduces the burden on her in half, and Myrcella still has to worry about whether what Night's Watch said about Roose Bolton and Queen is true, and whether oneself is too young and ignorant to trust others. Being used... against people whom oneself loves?
Fortunately, all the tensions and fears have come to an end today - as the Queen leads the Unsullied Guards arriving in winter and escorting Bolton count to the castle openly and officially as a master, the previous The rumor that "the mad King's Daughter has been wiped out by the Dreadfort" is naturally disappeared in the face of hard truth. Myrcella, who had witnessed it with her own eyes, finally let her guard down while she was greatly relieved: she was not fooled and deceived. That mysterious foreigner of unknown origin was as reliable and trustworthy as she expected. Oneself bet on luck. Adventure, actually - protects House Stark and saves them from a genocide crisis!
After this "collusion" test of trust, the imaginary Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and the real Igor West perfectly overlapped, Myrcella suddenly felt as if oneself had known him for many years Familiar and close.
......
There are many people in the compound, Myrcella cautiously pays attention to oneself's expression, lest this meeting be sour in the eyes of those who are interested: "It's okay, you are free now. ?"
Busy - but Igor didn't say that. First, it's really difficult for a normal person to say "No" to such a lovely little girl; second, it can be judged by impression: Myrcella will not harass oneself because of some bullshit.
"I'm free." He didn't stop, but slowed down slightly so that Myrcella's little feet could easily follow, "Why, Arya isn't thinking about it How can you kill me?"
"No, no, she was still furious on the surface, but after seeing Bolton count following Queen's ass during the day, her anger has subsided a lot." Myrcella followed him briskly, with a lively tone: "Although I don't understand why the adults allowed her to keep 'Needle', but even if she still wants to stab someone with a small sword, the target must not be you. Speaking of her current state, Arya is probably the most distressed right now...she can't like you anymore."
This wording is really strange, Igor turned his head to look at Little Princess and asked: "What do you mean by 'can't' like me anymore?"
"Aiya, how do you say it." Little Princess tangled her fingers to comb the curly blond hair hanging from her ears, frowning for a while With an idea, "that is... if someone asked Arya before: 'Miss Stark, how do you like a Night's Watch?', she would definitely reply fiercely: 'None of your business!'; but if someone asked her now ...Uh... anyway, as you know, it's not that she doesn't like you anymore, it's that she 'can't' like you anymore."
It turned out to be the case, Igor understood it roughly, and even guessed that Myrcella didn't What is the second half of the sentence - now if someone asks Arya: Miss Stark, how do you like a traitor? Then this is obviously a tricky question that is difficult to answer and impossible to attack...
People are social animals, no matter how much they shout "I don't care what other people think", in reality In the end, it is still subject to public opinion.
In the case that he has indeed adopted disrespectful means and can be regarded as a traitor to some extent, he is not even qualified to lose his temper, he can only smile nodded wryly, indicating that oneself understands what the girl said: " Thank you, and also trouble Miss Maeve to continue to be optimistic about Arya, and don't let her do any stupid things that hurt others and herself. If there is anything unusual, come to me immediately..."
No words After speaking, he suddenly couldn't help but want to pat oneself on the head. Oneself regarded Arya as a tool to maintain the relationship with House Stark, and now he even instructed another girl who was a year younger than her to monitor her... On the road to becoming a villain, he can be regarded as going further and further.
"I'll keep an eye out, but I'm here today to see you, sir, for something else." Myrcella probably realized that the topic was a little awkward, so she quickly changed the subject." I was bored thinking about it, and suddenly found a piece of information that may be useful to adults, but you probably didn't notice or ignore it."
"oh?" "Let's hear it."
"In the end, didn't Hearth be slaughtered in the previous invasion of the Others southwards, which led to the destruction of the Umber family. As one of the former North Great Family, the Umbers left behind The fortified castle and the vast unclaimed land are now temporarily occupied by Night's Watch for legitimate purposes and reasons, but what do adults think about how to deal with it in the future?"
Where is this? Igor didn't know why, shrugged and replied: "Occupying the last Hearth is out of a helpless requisition. The North people asked for it to be returned. Reasonable in every circumstance, I have no reason to hold it in my hand and not return it. In order to avoid disputes, it is the North's responsibility. Oneself decides how to deal with it."
"The adults must consider not to arouse the xenophobic hostility of the North people, which is true." Little Princess whispered, as if for fear of being heard: "If you let it be The North people oneself decided that the final result was either the nobles reached an agreement through struggle, and finally found a descendant from somewhere that everyone could accept and whose ancestors had a marriage with the Umber family, let him change the surname to rebuild the new House Umber ; or, in the end, there was no solution that everyone was satisfied with, and finally the Hearth leader was removed from the name... The castle was turned into ruins, and the land was divided and digested by the heroes recognized by House Stark and the surrounding families."
She paused for a while and continued: "The two results have nothing to do with you, but in fact, a ready-made solution that allows you to legally and legally swallow this borderless land is in the hands of the adults. In front of you, you just haven't realized it yet."
Igor didn't follow Little Princess's train of thought, and didn't really want to follow up - he was thinking about how to deal with Varys and dragging Queen down south as soon as possible. Jiangshan, the establishment of the "New Kingdom of Westeros" with the Greater Crownlands as the core. In this grand plan, the land he is going to swallow is too big. In the end, a small Earldom in Hearth is like a sesame seed placed next to a watermelon, neither rich nor strategically important, occupying it is more like oneself. The "North Self-Government Project" was contrary to what it and its Obito land belonged to... to put it nasty, it really didn't get into his head.
The initial half-second disdain quickly dissipated, and Igor quickly returned to a state of rational thinking: Umber's territory is an Earldom, yes, but due to the natural nature of North's vastness and sparseness, it is not small in comparison. ... In terms of area, it is almost half the size of the old Crownlands, almost as large as the entire land grant. In terms of population, even if it experiences catastrophe, there are still 20,000 or 30,000 inhabitants. It is naturally not worthwhile to offend the entire North for such a piece of land and affect the grand plan of unifying the Seven Kingdoms. , but here's the thing: what Myrcella just said was "reasonably and legally swallow it."
If this little girl Zhuge really has any way to get him to get the last Hearth without enmity with the North people - Igor doesn't quite believe that there will be such a good thing - then he is also happy Squeeze out the time and energy to play this idle chess step.
"Let's talk about it."
"Lord Morse Umber's only daughter who was kidnapped back then, after you accepted wildling through the Wall, Has her identity as a land grantor reconciled with her father?"
Of course I remember that this reunion was arranged by Igor, with the purpose of dismantling the Umber family who hated wildling the most in the North patrol team. Resolute opposition to the Land Grant Resettlement Scheme - it worked as expected.
"Remember, what's wrong?"
"She and the wildling who kidnapped her have two children."
Yes, but both were killed by Umber Take home.
Igor frowned and asked, "This Miss Umber, or her two sons, wasn't in the castle when Hearth was finally breached?"
"Not sure, But I heard Lord Robb complain when I was eating with Arya and the others before, he said at the time: 'The two grandsons of Raveneater Morse, who are used to living with the wildlings, at the end Hearth couldn't stay at all, every three days. Run to Queenscrown'."
so that's how it is.
If either of these two children is still alive and in Queenscrown, then oneself holds the man who is still alive and closest to the Umber bloodline in the world, of course...they are just a Miss Umber being wildling The "hybrid" born after the abduction, but as long as oneself asks the Queen to classify them as orthodox - the king has this power, then they are the most qualified people in the world to inherit the last Hearth collar, this is what Myrcella said "reasonable" The way to legally swallow the Last Hearth Collar!
Igor understood everything, turned his head and looked towards the oneself orderly: "Harvey, what are the two grandsons of Crowfood Morse called?"
"I don't know, my lord!"
The trained soldier straightened his back conditioned reflexively, and gave the most cowardly answer in the most arrogant tone.
"Are they in Queenscrown when the Others round the wall south?"
"I don't know, my lord!"
"Are they alive?"
"I don't know, my lord!"
I don't know, but Igor didn't blame Harvey... If even oneself didn't expect this, then I hope An ordinary officer under his command also has this incredible keen intuition, which is obviously an excessive requirement.
"Find this out ASAP, and if they're not dead, send someone to me - be careful!"
"Yes, my lord!"
A series of neat questions and orders that are unique among soldiers happened so quickly, Myrcella didn't even find a space to interject, looking at the back that made the soldier turn away and immediately execute the mission, she suddenly understood why Night's Watch can defeat Others and Army of the Dead.
"Uh, my lord... they seem to be called Angus and Baani." Little Princess retracted her gaze, said softly, and lowered her voice as if guilty, "It's very likely that they will attack at Others. At Queenscrown, but even if unfortunately not, you can actually still... find someone to impersonate them. The little boy looks fast, and everyone who knows them has already died at the end of Hearth at the hands of the ghoul ."
