Chapter 590 The Certificate of Loyalty (middle)Myrcella at the next table responded and made her Ri held the wooden folder stall in front of his chest and never left his body on the table, deftly turned down a few pages, lifted the folder, and skillfully took out one, two, three... not thin or thick A stack of documents, leaned over to Margaery.
The latter opened his eyes wide as the girl handed over the list, picked it up and simply flipped through it, and couldn't help pinching oneself's thigh.
She is no stranger to the thing in her hands - whether it is Night's Watch or the Tyrell family's industry, this thing has been or is being produced and sold: a few are produced with a process that has been improved and matured. The exact full name is "decolorized vegetable fiber paper for high-grade writing".
The paper that was supposed to be as white as the first snow is now "smudged" into light gray by the densely packed text. The content is so dense and the fonts are so small. What a Heavenly Book full of spells.
But Margaery is naturally not confused, she is too familiar with the content on the paper - this is something every core member of the Tyrell family must be familiar with and remember: the list of important nobles in Reach.
The beginning is Tyrell, followed by Redwyne, Hightower, Oakheart, Rowan, Tully, Fossoway... With these famous nobles as the first column, and then the branches and leaves, the list includes The sub-bannermen of these families, important side branches, and powerful distant relatives with Fiefdom castles, and even the number of members, the location of the family castle, and the size of the Fiefdom controlled and the size of the army that can be recruited are also noted on the back.
These trifling pieces of paper include 90% of the Reach aristocracy, and even the remaining 10% has left a gap between the lines and added "?" The label of , probably due to insufficient information sources, has not been able to clarify.
"Only the nobles who are circled in red on this list will be invited by Queen Your Majesty to be eligible to be a family guest at King's Landing. If the scope is narrowed, there will be fewer people, right?"
Indeed, Margaery made a rough estimate and admitted this: if only the number of families after narrowing down, even if you count the family, there are only ten thousand people, King's Landing may be able to accommodate .
But...wait!
She shuddered and suddenly realized: This list is actually a list of all the forces in Reach that can mobilize more than 100 troops. Even if Tyrell, the ruling family of Reach, was listed, it would be difficult to complete such a document by simply transcribing and summarizing it with ready-made information.
For a busy person like Igor, if he just wants to tease oneself, it is absolutely impossible to waste time collecting materials and preparing props!
That is: he's not kidding!
"Why, Miss Margaery, are you unfamiliar with the content on this piece of paper?" Seeing Little Rose stunned, Igor said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, this Maeve next to me Miss knows the Seven Kingdoms aristocrats like the back of their hands, and if you don't know any of them, feel free to ask, and she'll be happy to answer you."
Margaery has been in and out of the Red Keep in the era of King Robert many times, with Myrcella is not just a one-sided relationship. If you look closely, you may be able to see clues. But now she is confused, and she has no mood to see the appearance of the other's maid.
"Master Igor, are you serious?" Finding that the negotiation trend was completely different from what oneself thought, Little Rose became impatient, "So many nobles brought their families to King's Landing As a guest, who will guard the territory and manage the people for Your Majesty in the Reach Land of Nuoda?"
"steward, the Tyrell family also developed from this, I must have a deep understanding of this? If it is true No, the Night's Watch industry is also happy to send professionals to assist, establish an official system, and help those adults who have come from afar to be optimistic about the castle and manage the Fiefdom during their visit to the capital of Seven Kingdoms, so as to relieve their worries of enjoying the prosperity of King's Landing."
…
This conversation can’t go on.
Margaery's anger flared up.
There is a basic common sense in aristocratic circles: all members of the family must never leave the castle and Fiefdom at the same time. Not to mention war or being a hostage, even outing or traveling in peacetime is not enough. Even if you have to have no spare time to watch the house, you must not go to the same place at the same time.
Because if this is the case, it is equivalent to putting all the eggs in the same basket. If the basket is accidentally knocked over or the whereabouts of the family members who are in the group are known to the enemy or the enemy, the family will be There is a danger of disappearance or extinction.
The original owner of the Tyrells, House Gardener, was a bloody lesson.
If House Head and heirs are the backbone and rhizome of a family, then the land and its subjects are the branches and leaves, the source of strength for the "adults". Once the lord is cut off from the Fiefdom of oneself, there's no resistance to be slaughtered like a fish out of water.
Because of this understanding, most nobles would rather fight to the death to the end, and impossible to accept such outrageous conditions!
Igor's asking price is not even a sky-high price now. He is clearly bluntly rejecting oneself's sincerity in negotiating and pushing oneself to the side of little Aegon. Even after Aegon the Conqueror defeated the Gardener-Lannister coalition at the Battle of Field of Fire and slaughtered the Reach and Westerlands nobles to pieces, he never dared to put forward such harsh conditions!
Not only that, he even committed... no, he took the initiative to touch the reverse scale of Tyrell's family: play "steward" in front of members of their family to mock and humiliate!
It is tolerable, and what is unbearable?
Don't say that oneself has no plans to join the Queen's side. Even if there is, Igor will probably turn to the other side in anger.
(Did this damn Night's Watch see through the plans and thoughts of oneself, or was it smashed in the head in the desperate process with Others, or was swept away by the glory of the hero, Crazy?)
Margaery looked closely at Igor, but found that his eyes were clear and sharp, his expression calm and collected, and there was no sign of irrationality or confusion. Not only that, but it also seems to have a half-pointed revenge banter, and a trace of fearless pride - he seems to be telling oneself with a firm look: he is not afraid of fighting and danger, his hands are bloody, and he is not afraid of carrying sins and crimes. Infamy, let alone being an enemy of Tyrell's family and even the whole world...
A sense of fear and having one's hair stand on end suddenly rose in my heart and ran through my body in an instant.
Is there something oneself oversighted or missed? Margaery suddenly became vigilant: Is it that Igor has secretly negotiated terms with Vale and Westerlands, who have not yet publicly lined up, the armies of the two places will soon arrive on the battlefield to cheer on the Queen's side, or Daenerys has formed a powerful city-state with a powerful city-state across the narrow sea. The alliance, which has obtained amazing wealth and foreign military aid, is not afraid of it?
Wait, what is oneself afraid of?
Little Rose suddenly came back to his senses.
Even if the Westerlands and Vale... no, the rest of the six countries are tied together, and one Braavos is dragged, at most, Reach will concede three points and admit defeat. The power to crush the Tyrell family simply does not exist in this world!
"My lord, since you can make this list of princes of Reach, you must not forget to add one to the 'recruitable force' listed at the end, right?"
p>
"More than 100,000 is indeed enough to disdain the Seven Kingdoms, and it is not even extreme mobilization... This is why the Queen attaches so much importance to you and eagerly hopes to get the loyalty certificate of the Reach nobles." Igor Answered with a smile, but said the second half with an expression - whether it's 100,000 or 200,000, you'd better come all at once, I'm very busy.
Now that you know the true strength of Reach, you still use this frivolous attitude to people?
Margaery became more and more sullen, so angry that oneself became vigilant: maybe the father was right, this time oneself really shouldn't be rambunctious. The mistakes that have been made and the time wasted can't be recovered, but now, before oneself says something stupid that shouldn't be said because of Igor's impudent, oneself should leave as soon as possible.
She stood up.
"Lord Igor, Prince Aegon has officially proposed to the Tyrell family. Today, I respect Queen Your Majesty, affirm your ability and talent, and remember our old friendship. I just left the other party alone and left the goodwill of Jon Connington and the Golden Group to come to the industrial park to negotiate with you." Margaery sighed, resisting the urge to make harsh words and threats, and made an appearance of regret, " But since neither Queen Your Majesty nor Lord Commander has the sincerity to continue the conversation, today is considered abrupt and rash, please allow me to retire."
Before he finished speaking, Margaery put the Reach in his hand on the ground. As soon as the list of nobles was placed on the table, without even taking a sip of the food placed in the front of one's eyes, they turned around each minding their own business, intending to leave.
"Wait a minute—"
Igor suddenly snorted, the sudden increase in volume not only frightened Margaery, who had half-legged over the bench, but also made a crowd around him. The guards who were eating quietly in the circle also straightened their waists and looked towards here, and the atmosphere in the entire restaurant was condensed.
"Have I allowed your resignation?" Night's Watch wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin at a moderate pace, her face already full of haze, "Miss Margaery...did you give me the Land Grant and Unsullied? Treat your camp as your own backyard, come and leave if you want?"
