Chapter 596 Faction (Part 2) Make a decision?
Princess Arianne pretended to be thinking, but her mind was blank and her heart was panicking.
I wanted to step in and share a soup, but who knew that the other party gave the whole pot of stew to oneself.
She was dazed.
Sunspear and Highgarden since ancient times are antagonists, and centuries of bloodshed have drawn a deep gulf between the two places, Reach is to Dorne the "hateful neighbor", is The tiger beside the couch, as long as Dorne is not pulled away from Westeros by the movement of the land plate, the two are still bordering, and there are territorial disputes and disputes, it is impossible to have a harmonious relationship until the end of the world. The Martell family can't just sit back and watch the already powerful Reach become more cohesive after the ruling family enters the center of power - and this means: after little Aegon declined Arianne's offer to choose Margaery as queen, the Tyrell family Dorne's half-ass had been sitting on Daenerys' side from the moment he was designated as a royal.
She was sent north by her father to meet Prince Aegon and see if the two could come together. The negotiation with the Queen's forces should have been her Uncle Oberyn's mission. It was her coquettish and desperate begging that made Uncle agree to give her a chance to prove oneself's political ability, so that she could be in the Queen's camp for the first time without the leadership of her elders. appeared in front of the representative.
Arianne already knew how many soldiers and strength Dorne could send; and what kind of benefits and benefits should be asked for, father and Uncle had already made it clear. This time she came to meet Igor speaking of which is "negotiating on behalf of Dorne", but in fact, she only needs to carry out activities within the framework drawn by the two adults Doran Prince and Prince Oberyn. Even if there is a discrepancy in the results of the talks, it will never be too big.
After the conversations on behalf of the respective forces are over, socialize with Igor on a personal level, find a way to impress the Queen's number one in front, and even establish a relationship if possible... make sure oneself Dorne's status as the first heir is stable, and it is her private thoughts and thoughts other than official business.
First complete the mission given by the family, and then get to know Igor privately. In addition to the reason why she brought Traene Sand, in addition to the reason for her to cooperate with her during the negotiation, she actually had another thought: if Igor did not like the style of oneself, then Change oneself's little sister into battle.
With their very different physical appearances, it is impossible for one of them to get into Igor's eyes, and if he does not refuse, a threesome is acceptable.
She loves oneself's illegitimate cousins, to the point that she'd like to share a man with them.
Having an affair with a world-famous hero like "Others Killer" is not just a shame, but a great honor in Dorne's culture.
...
But who would think, Igor doesn't play his cards according to common sense at all.
Both the conditions and benefits he gave, as well as the requirements and expectations for Dorne, were far beyond the scope of what Prince Doran and Oberyn had explained to her. Arianne was a little dizzy at the moment. To sum up her feelings at the moment in vulgar words - I'm just here to seduce you, but why do you want to bring me in for a big vote?
She and Terenei looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Sand Snake couldn't help getting closer to the princess, whispered: "Arianne, I think this condition is very good, but it looks like a fraud! I'm afraid we can't be the master, or go back and discuss with your father and me. What?"

No wonder she felt abnormal, anyone would hesitate to change it.
Igor's willingness to commit some of the Reach land to Dorne had a number of considerations involved.
But there is scheming, but no conspiracy.
The first is to buy people's hearts - although Igor's statement to the Dorne people so far is "Queen is going to weaken the power of Reach", but sooner or later the Greater Crownlands plan will develop in an orderly manner and reveal clues, in this plan Here, Crownlands will annex the entire Stormlands and most of the Reach and part of the Riverlands at once. For Dorne, the Royal General suddenly rushed in front of him from far in the sky. Although the original evil neighbor was bad luck, it was replaced by a more terrifying huge monster, which would arouse their instinctive vigilance and disgust.
And to alleviate this hostility and opposition, there is no more direct and better way than "taking their share".
The southern end of the Stormlands and two small parcels of Reach were given to Dorne in exchange for their support for the Greater Crownlands plan...or at least not against it.
In addition to this, the purpose of a far-reaching layer is to control Dorne.
In the blueprint, there are four Duke leaders of East, West, North, and South in addition to the Greater Crownlands. Among them: North Igor is going to be managed by supporting House Bolton to create an internal balance; Westerlands is Control by escrow gold... So how can the East and South ensure that they can be ruled by the Royal Family?
Dorne and other parts of Seven Kingdoms are blocked by mountains. Once there is a confrontation, you only need to shrink back home to block Prince's Pass and Boneway. It will be difficult for outsiders to enter. Zero hid in the desert and fought guerrilla warfare with the king's army - for this reason, even Aegon the Conqueror failed to conquer this land at the time.
After careful analysis, Igor felt that this problem can still be summed up in one word: geographical factors.
To solve this problem, he referred to the pattern of provincial administrative divisions that crossed the previous Chinese dynasty: try to avoid natural dangers such as mountains and rivers as the boundary of the province.
Dorne actually only increased by about a tenth of its size after two or three parcels of land in the Stormlands and Reach were allocated to Dorne, but it suddenly shrank from the southern side of the Red Mountains to a It became riding on both sides of it, and was divided into north and south sides by the mountain range that spanned east and west: most of the barren and barren part was on the south side, and a rich but narrow piece was on the north side-there were so few small but quite fertile The land is exposed to the protection of the Red Mountains, and the Dorne people have some scruples. They can no longer be barefooted and not afraid of wearing shoes as before, ignoring or resisting the central orders at every turn!
This is beyond the realm of conspiracy, and even if Varys, Petyr, and Doran Prince himself came here, it would be difficult to guess the real purpose of Igor's move, and even if he could guess, he would not be able to resist this. lure.
If acknowledging allegiance and obedience could have resulted in self-sufficiency in land and food, the Martell family would have put on the Three Headed Dragon flag three hundred years ago!

Trenene's whisper was originally for Arianne's sake, but who would have thought that the latter would be greatly upset when she heard it: Why? My dignified princess, the future legal heir of Dorne, can't even decide on the spot in negotiations with outsiders. Instead, I have to go home and ask my elders. This is for others to see, how will they think and laugh at oneself?
In addition to the rebellious psychology, after the initial shock and confusion passed, Arianne gradually came back to his senses, and some strange emotions began to ferment.
Everyone will have that little peculiar hobby belonging to oneself, and Arianne's fatal "weakness" is that she can't resist the special charm emanating from a dangerous man, let alone. Confront the fatal attraction of crazy schemes like Destroy the Reach.
She had also read the Seven Kingdoms novel, "The Fantastic Adventures of Night's Watch", but at that time, like most people with a higher cognitive level, she would judge it. Most of the stories experienced by the "protagonist" in this book are fictional or artistically processed.
Who would have thought that he could finally see the deity now, only to find that the guy in front of him is exactly the same as the wild and daring adventurer in the book, or even worse. And these qualities that fascinated her, combined with the characteristics of power, ability, prestige, and even the power of the army, made an incredible...monster!
If she first entered the house, she still held the usual casual, slutty typical Dorne woman mentality, and regarded Igor as oneself's prey.
Now, something that even her oneself thinks is incredible happened: she seems to be a little obsessed with this guy in front of her... I've only known this guy for less than an hour!
She is eager to be recognized and favored by this guy, eager to participate in his amazing plan to sweep the Reach, and even eager to work with him tonight, no, now...
Bah !
Repressing the inexplicable Gu Qiinian, she thought of a deeper benefit: if oneself can participate in the great feat of dismantling Reach as a daughter, it can leave a name and establish a name in this history. Military merit, even if the father when the time comes wants to deprive oneself of the inheritance, I am afraid they will face huge resistance!
After swallowing, he ignored Sister Sand Snake's muttering in his ears, but raised his head and met Igor's gaze.
"Dorne joins, Lord Commander. Excuse me, when will I have the pleasure of discussing this plan with you?"
