Chapter 594 The Gang (Part 1)Returning south at Daenerys and Igor and arriving at King's one after another In addition to Landing, after meeting with little Aegon and Margaery successively, Blackwater Rush South has maintained a "three-legged" posture for a long time and finally disintegrated and reconstructed - the second day after Little Rose was so angry that Night's Watch ran back to Reach Camp overnight. , Aegon Targaryen publicly proclaimed the king, and Reach immediately announced his approval and support for the former, and announced the marriage plan of the two parties.
The two camps, a few miles apart, were dismantled and moved closer to each other, seemingly by coincidence but possibly deliberately for demonstrations - and eventually re-merged into one on the other side of the river opposite the Night's Watch Industrial Park. The new camp, the flags of more than 40,000 troops have formed a colorful sea, and it can be felt huge and full of vitality across the Blackwater Rush.
Some of the Dorne camps further south have not yet moved their nests, because the negotiations and negotiations have not yet ended - the Martell family has not yet made it clear who they want to support.
In this regard, the two "Targaryen" camps are well aware: whoever offers a higher price, they will support whoever.
......
In the cold wind of hunting, Igor stood at the south gate of Black Wall Fort, with Myrcella's help tidying up the cuffs and collar, ready to go to the camp entrance to greet old friends .
He could easily defeat the more than 40,000 people across the water, but in front of one's eyes in Stannis, it was impossible to free up his hands to annihilate them, let alone stop them from being beaten back. Wandering and harassing opportunities far away from the periphery. There was no room for snoring on the side of the couch. In order to be able to attack the city with peace of mind, Dorne's 10,000 lance soldier's battle strength was not easy to judge, but it was a helper that he had to win over.
In this regard, he is confident.
Little Aegon will certainly offer a high price to win over Martell, but because the Reach land is his biggest ally and his wife's family power, the price he offers - is absolutely impossible higher than oneself.
"Lord Commander, it's here! The Dorne messenger's ship has crossed the river and docked!" The sentry who acted as an eyeliner ran back to report the message, "But it's not Prince Oberyn, it's a woman, Someone heard her entourage call her a 'princess'!"
"Isn't it Oberyn?"
Igor was caught off guard, he had already inquired and confirmed the commander of the Dorne army. Is 'Red Viper' Oberyn Martell's, the negotiation draft is also prepared under the premise of taking Prince Oberyn as the object, but the result is a princess who oneself does not know? what does this mean?
"Only one person in Dorne has the title of princess, Arianne Martell, the eldest daughter of Doran Prince." Seeing Igor stunned, Myrcella immediately reminded, "According to Dorne's law, she will take over power and become Dorne's ruler after father's death. So that's the third person in the Martell family after Doran and Oberyn—she's just as effective, adults don't have to worry."
so that's how it is.
Igor nods, although he is a little relieved, he is a little unhappy after all.
The third person is also important, but after all, it is under the second person, even more how Igor and Oberyn are acquaintances and old friends, but this Arianne has never known each other? But in addition to the stunned feeling of "meeting an old friend but finally waiting for a stranger", what is more disturbing is a lingering thought: Oberyn is obviously leading the army but not coming, is it possible that is to visit and negotiate with his niece at the same time, It's just that he went to the Reach camp, and Arianne came to oneself here?
"Well, since everyone is here, we'll treat him as Prince Oberyn." Igor calmed down and walked towards the door, "How much do you know about this Princess Dorne? Talk while walking, take the time to tell me something briefly."
"en." Myrcella quickly followed, her beautiful blue eyes flashing with the rays of light of searching for memory, and she quickly recalled about this man. Everything about the Princess: "While Arianne would undoubtedly be the future ruler by Dorne law, for some reason Doran Prince sent her younger brother Quentyn as an adopted child to the home of Anders Yronwood count when he was little-- This adult is amazing, he is the noble of blood, the guardian of the stone road, and the most powerful prince in the entire Dorne. For this, I heard the most comments in the Red Keep when I was a child: Doran Prince is very likely to want to To abandon the Dorne tradition and let the eldest son...not the eldest daughter as the heir."
"What follows is my personal guess and analysis...Although Prince Quentyn has died unexpectedly in Meereen, it is impossible Competing with the elder sister for the position of power, but the influence of the rumor still lingers, in the case of a younger brother, Princess Arianne may still feel that the status of oneself is unstable, and this sense of insecurity, It can be used by adults." She took a breath and continued, "If Queen Your Majesty can win, then she will be the first woman to hold power in the history of Westeros. Since Seven Kingdoms can accept a woman as king, then A Dorne's daughter, Prince, naturally becomes a matter of course - if Queen Daenerys thinks that oneself's inheritance of Iron Throne precedes Prince Aegon, then she must admit that Princess Arianne's inheritance precedes her younger brother, at this point On the other hand, Princess Arianne is naturally inclined to our side—that's one of them."
The girl was shorter than Igor after all, so she was a little out of breath as she followed and talked for a long time. But angry, the latter noticed this and slowed down so that Little Princess could easily keep up.
"The second point is, Your Majesty is not married yet, you just have to let go of your mouth on purpose and let it out - say Queen is willing to consider Dorne's boy as her husband, then Arianne's younger brother will take her in the line of succession. The threat of her would be greatly reduced...after all, being king makes it impossible to be ruler of Dorne again. It's not for adults to lie, you just have to speak skillfully and mislead her into feeling that way."
Got it." Igor nods "Understood, these are very useful information, "Anything else, what about personality?"
She originally wanted to say, "Sir, you must be vigilant and don't be fooled", but then she thought about it, who knows if Lord Igor wants to be "taken by it".
After thinking about it for a while, the final words came out: "Sir, you should weigh the pros and cons and make the choice that is most beneficial to oneself."
It turned out to be this woman !
After listening to Myrcella's introduction, Igor actually remembered oneself. Dorne does have such a number one person. Although it is not an absolutely reliable way to know a person through the mouth of a third party, it is better to have a little understanding and psychological preparation than to mess around like a headless fly.
He's starting to feel a little lucky to allow Myrcella to be with oneself - tricks and suggestions only need smart people, but nobility's background information and stories, personalities, stuff like Qyburn Maester, Nina, and Nina A person with a commoner background like Er, no matter how smart and capable, is absolutely impossible to talk like Little Princess.
“How old is she now, isn’t she married yet?”
…
It turns out that deliberately slowing down to listen to Myrcella was the right choice , the question-and-answer dialogue and negotiation between the two ended in less than half a minute, and then they walked to the Southern Great Gate, an industrial park near the port, and greeted a group of Dorne people who came to negotiate.
In front of several Dorne Warriors holding lances with round shields on their shoulders, under the banner of the golden spear Kanri, the gorgeously dressed and embellished young woman caught Igor's attention. Princess Arianne has black eyes and black hair. She has a plump figure but is not fat. Her skin is full of smooth olive color full of healthy breath. She is full of exotic style. For some reason, it reminds Igor of the Earth world before crossing - in the story of Aladdin Divine Lantern Princess Jasmine.
"They say 'Dorne is a strong man like sand'. I don't think it's finished. Dorne is more beautiful than sand. Today I am honored to meet one of them." Igor greeted him with a hearty smile. Go up, "Good luck, Princess Arianne, I'm Night's Watch Legion Lord Commander Igor West. Queen Daenerys Your Majesty learned that Martell's army was also coming from Dorne to help, and sent me here to negotiate with you on her behalf. The details of the alliance."
"I've also heard that Lord Commander is very heroic, and when I saw it today, it turned out that name is not in vain." Princess Arianne is about 1.6 meters tall, which is a full inch lower than Igor. Turning her head, she showed a charming smile to the man, and ended with a skillful polite exchange, and then complained, "Oh my God, the north is really cold, can we talk in the room?"
