Chapter 679
"What did Daenerys say?"
As soon as Sansa left the bedroom, Illyrio and the others, who were anxiously walking around the living room, gathered around.
"She said Melisandre could theoretically hurt Balerion, and she asked us to find out what happened in Stannis' camp that day." Sansa whispered.
"Ai, this is the time, what's the use of checking these? When will she come?" Illyrio stomped.
"She doesn't have time-"
"No time?" Illyrio exclaimed before the Queen could finish.
"How could she have no time? At such a critical juncture, when the sky falls, you should hurry back to North and save King Your Majesty! Is there anything more important than this?"
Sansa brows frowned, very dissatisfied with the yelling fatty: You, a court Marquess with no title, what qualifications do you have to yell in front of the queen?
Also, there are many vassals of Vale, Riverlands and Stormlands. Let's not talk about the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, you are like a dead son, and these ministers who are barely glued together are still disillusioned? Even gave birth to the strange thoughts of rebelliousness?
On the surface, True Dragon Alliance is all tied to Aegon, but its foundation is the Dragon Queen who overwhelms the world.
No matter how Aegon emphasizes one clan two branches, the behavior of oneself does not represent Dany aunt, but he can get Uncle Finger, Prince Doran, Vale nobles, Reach and Crownlands nobles to take refuge, mainly the Dragon Queen strength of oneself against the whole world, seems to have not lost.
Game of Thrones Number One: Don't be on the loser's side.
The unscrupulous aristocrats of Westeros certainly don't want to be losers.
Aegon losing to the enemy is bad, but not the end of the world, the most terrifying thing is losing the "kindness" of Dany aunt.
If at such a critical moment, the princes of the alliance misunderstand that the Queen does not care about the eldest nephew, what will they think?
Thinking like this, a cold light flashed in Sansa's eyes, and indifferently said: "You lost self-control, Marquess Illyrio!"
"I..." fatty was confused before, but now seeing the expressions of the queen and all the princes, he immediately regained his former shrewdness, tears oozing from the corners of his eyes, and said sadly: "Queen Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty! Really, the old minister is too worried about Your Majesty's. Be safe!"
Seeing his natural expression, sincere expression, and the appearance of a loyal minister, Sansa softened and sighed: "I'm also worried, I'm also worried, but I'm in a hurry. It's useless.
Dany aunt really can't get out of the way, the Allies have already camped under Meereen, and it's impossible to say that the siege has begun."
Then, she With deep eyes, he secretly glanced at the princes in the hall who looked solemn but had different thoughts, with a relieved smile on his face, and said:
"Dany aunt is as anxious as me, and when I first heard the bad news, I was sad. I'm crying."
"Ah!" The nobles heard this and couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.
From the Dragon Queen leading horse men through the red purgatory, they all give people the image of an iron lady with strong strength, firm will, showing off one's ability, like the Valyrian Steel Sword.
But she actually shed tears for her eldest nephew, this...
"Loyalty +50!"
"Cohesion +50!"
The heads of nobles from Riverlands, Vale, and Stormlands seem to have flashed such prompt boxes.
Sansa saw everything in his eyes, feeling the changing atmosphere in the hall, blue eyes flashed a hint of pride, and continued:
"Even if the military situation in Slaver's Bay is in critical condition. , she also asked me to send a letter to Stannis immediately.
She was willing to pay Replying to his Majesty with a ransom according to Seven Kingdoms tradition.
She paid the ransom, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, Millions of Golden Dragons don't matter.
But if you dare to hurt Your Majesty's hair, there is only one inch of space left for Stannis to stand."
Ser Brus looked down Looking at oneself's big feet, said curiously: "How does one inch land?"
Well, this Brus is not the same person as that Batman in Slaver's Bay.
He is the cousin of Stormlands Bronzegate Earl Buckler.
Bronzegate was blocking the drive from Storm's End to King's Landing, very close to Storm's End, so his family surrendered to King Aegon early.
At this point, Ser Brus is accompanying the king, seeking the position of Kingsguard.
Sansa disliked him a bit because Brus didn't make it through ten rounds against Brienne.
hearing this only glanced at him, indifferently said: "Burned to ashes by Dragonflame, and packed in an inch-sized box."
"His-"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, and the loyalty-increasing boost seemed to pop up again on their heads.
The limit of loyalty is actually only 100, which shows how low their loyalty was before...
Old Crab looked at the calm queen, looking at The courtiers who bowed their heads and listened to each other were shocked and speechless: How old is she? Just experienced the tragic change of her husband's capture, but at this time...
Old Crab is here, not for Aegon.
After Vale's 20,000 army entered the Crownlands, they began to plunder the common people.
Dragonstone received several complaints from Crownlands nobles, and Old Crab came to remind Aegon to restrain his soldiers.
The nobles of Westeros marched to war, never seeming to worry about food.
Dany hits New Ghis next door, and also ships grain to Old Ghis a few months in advance. When Robb led the North people south, he brought almost no food.
They all walk and eat all the way.
Where did you get the food?
Get food on the spot!
Or the nobles along the way provide supplies, or go hunting in the woods, or have caravans accompanying them.
But one of the most important supply methods is to rob the common people and the local nobility.
This is also why Brotherhood Without Banners kills lions and wolves, and as long as they encounter soldiers who enter the village, they are all killed without mercy.
At this time, Aegon's army is also repeating what their ancestors have done countless times.
Old Crab came to Vale to admonish King Aegon, not to love his people like a son.
In Westeros, the cost of loving people like children is too high, and King wants to love, but he can't.
But King must love the nobility, Old Crab is to persuade King Aegon: You can rob the hoi polloi, why bother the castle of the nobility?
King Aegon is also helpless: they all say that soldiers are like combs. Just a few years ago, the land from the Trident Valley to the Crownlands has been groomed several times by lions and Direwolf, and the common people are running King's Landing. Sparrow is gone, no more oil can be squeezed out, so I can only pick the little nobles to start!
......
Old Crab pondered: "Your Highness, Dragon Queen is proficient in Valyria Fire Sorcery, she needs information about Stannis' camp that day, there must be a reason.
You should contact Duke Jon immediately, he is the lord of Winterfell, and is best to look into this.
Also send a letter to Stannis to convey the meaning of Queen to him, lest Aegon Your Majesty has been mistreated."
Sansa gave Old Crab an admiring look, that's what the old saying goes!
"Earl Celtigar said very well, I will go to Winterfell myself."
"No, the situation in Winterfell is unknown, Your Highness, you can't get into it any more!" There are Vale nobles advise.
"My King is in Winterfell, how can I not personally make sure of his safety? Also, Winterfell is Stark's home!
A Stark's son-in-law was lost in House Stark. extraordinary shame and humiliation, I believe that the entire North does not want Stark's eldest daughter to be humiliated in Winterfell."
Speaking of the end, Sansa gnashed her teeth slightly, and her expression and tone unconsciously contained a trace of resentment.
She's really complaining about Jon, Aegon is her Husband, he can fail anywhere, just can't suffocate in Winterfell.
——If I were the North Queen, this would never have happened. North and Vale had 13,000 elites, and they could pile up Stannis to death, but Jon did something absolutely for the illusory honor. neutral.
"I don't want to, it's absolutely foolproof..." Jon looked tired, with dark circles under his eyes, pulling his hair hard, not daring to look at the younger sister's reproachful eyes.
"Everything that happened that day was unreasonable, Melisandre lost her head, her body was burned, and should not be resurrected; even if she was resurrected, she couldn't hurt Wyvern in the sky, Aegon didn't lose her vigilance, he At a safe altitude of more than 300 meters."
Jon also felt remorse and was at a loss.
Like Sansa, he also thinks Stark's son-in-law planted in Winterfell is the greatest disgrace in House Stark's history.
But what can he do?
As a bannermen to kill the monarch?
Isn't that what Walder Frey did to Robb on Red Wedding?
He absolutely couldn't learn from Walder Frey, neutrality was his bottom line!
Sansa looked at Jon lightly.
He sat in the seat that once belonged to the father, unshaven and red-eyed, very guilty.
She didn't go to comfort him, she still needs the comfort of others!
“Daenerys has requested an investigation into whether there was a sacrifice at West Castle that day,” she asked.
"Ramsay Bolton is dead!"
Sansa changes color, cry out in surprise: "It really made Daenerys guess."
Jon nods, sighs Said: "I had doubts for a long time. After I asked the servants, I found out that the floor of the west hall in the living room has burn marks."
"Where is Theon, is he dead?" Sansa worriedly said.
"No, Ramsay alone is enough. He has been King in the North for a while, and he also has King's Blood in his body."
Don't doubt, Little Flayer really has King's Blood!
The rules of this world are very strange. If you are not king, you have almost no value in blood sacrifice; but once you are crowned king, even for one day, you and your descendants will have King's Blood in the bloodline.
Therefore, Dany suspects that King's Blood is related to luck and fortune.
Little Flayer and Theon are valued by Second Stag because of King's Blood.
"So, if Melisandre wants to, she can cast another vicious curse with Theon?" Sansa asked nervously.
"Don't worry, I've made arrangements. Half of the soldiers guarding Theon are from North." Jon comforted.
"The two captives shouldn't have been handed over to Stannis in the first place."
Speaking of this, Sansa suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "Did Stannis break his oath? All right, the trial of Theon and Ramsay must be held in public, absolutely can't quietly sacrifice to the Lord of Light."
"So what? At that time, the two sides tore their faces and officially declared war." Jon disagreed.
"If he breaks his oath first, you can then break the oath with him. This is Winterfell, it's North!" Sansa said faintly.
Again, Sansa is strange to Jon.
"He's got a hostage!" Jon emphasizes.
“It is a Westeros tradition to redeem captured nobles, and he cannot refuse!” Sansa coldly said.
"Then see if we can meet his demands."
"North is poor, I know, but Targaryen is not short of money, Daenerys is wealth to rival a nation, Even if Stannis really wanted an overseas kingdom, she would satisfy him."
