Chapter 1083
Long Night ended, but Sun didn't come out immediately, but the sky was no longer completely dark.
After the Dragon Queen handed the Human King's Crown to Jon, the world was shrouded in twilight, day and night, as bright as the last moments of a winter evening.
Looking up at the sky, you can see a huge Fireball in the center of the sky.
It is countless times larger than the Sun, covering almost half of the sky, but the light and temperature are not high, a bit like a red moon magnified ten thousand times.
When it first appeared, the humans on the world were either cheering excitedly, or kneeling on the ground weeping bitter tears.
"Sun is finally out!" they shouted excitedly.
But in the next few days, the temperature and brightness of "Sun" did not change, but the Fireball in the sky became smaller and smaller.
When human beings began to wonder, several Devout of Church of The Seven got a divine decree: Now they see not Sun, but a furnace, and Dragon Queen forged a new Sun in the furnace with furnace. Although Sun did not come out immediately, the extreme north Lands of Always Winter will no longer send cold air to the south, and the temperature of the world will slowly rise.
Getting this news, the human coalition in Daenerys' Zone is ready to disband and go home.
The volunteer warriors who participated in the war were all prime-age laborers.
...
Darry, Plowman's Keep lobby.
The decoration in the hall is simple, the stone powder on the walls is falling off, and the beams are blackened. There are almost no other tapestries except the bright True Dragon flag and the five-color dragon flag hanging on the wall.
Shelf tables are piled high in the corners, leaving a space for Nobles' chairs.
"The Dragon Queen forged the Sun in the sky, and soon the world will be restored to its original state. I hope that on the day the Sun appears, the princes of the Seven Kingdoms will gather at King's Landing for my coronation ceremony."
Speaking of this, Sansa stopped and looked around Nobles and Knight in the hall, observing their faces and eyes.
Although everyone seemed to have a strange look, no one directly questioned.
The Queen was satisfied with the nodded, and continued: "At that time, I will select a new Minister of State, and I will also rebuild the Seven Kingdoms tax and administrative system.
Walking all the way from Long Night, Presumably the adults present also found some drawbacks in the existing system of Seven Kingdoms, such as our indifference to, or even hostility to, the power of transcendents.
For example, the power imbalance between nobles and commoners.
In the process of ending Long Night, the common people contributed as much as Noble.
Since this world was saved by everyone, why not give the common people something in return?
Of course, I will not act arbitrarily. Any reform cannot be separated from your wisdom.
In addition to social and political reforms, there are many important issues that need to be discussed together.
For example, the three dukedoms of Riverlands, Vale, and Reach have to re-select the archdukes of the Commander border. Maybe we have to refer to the 'Long Night Hero List'.
For example, should Citadel be demolished or remodeled? And how should Maester arrange it.
For example, the division of territory of the five-colored dragon Targaryen.
Dragon Queen gave up the chance to become King of the Seven Kingdoms, but has the right to claim the ancestral Fiefdom of oneself. This is a Seven Kingdoms tradition that we cannot and should not violate.
But the King's Landing, which spans a great river, faces the Narrow Sea to the east, and is surrounded by a vast and rich plains, is the first place of the Seven Kingdoms.
The King of the Seven Kingdoms needs King's Landing, and the Seven Kingdoms need to compensate the Dragon Queen."
"Your Majesty is well thought out!" dwarf first praises.
Jaime thought about it for a while, then nodded and said: "After Sun comes out, I will lead the nobles of the Westerlands to King's Landing."
The other princes could not find any reason to object, and agreed in turn. down.
Sansa glanced vaguely at the Arbor girl Earl in the middle, and said with a slight smile: "There are some things that must be discussed with all the princes.
Some things can be done today. It's over.
For example, my agreement with Stannis Baratheon about the ultimate ownership of the Stormlands."
She looked towards Davos: "Duke of Rainwood, Baratheon loses the treaty enforcer, Storm's End will It's all mine, what do you think?"
Onion Knight couldn't help but hear Stannis' name.
He stood up suddenly, pointed to the 囧 on Queen's left hand, and said solemnly: "Queen Your Majesty, can you ask Duke Jon to give Stannis Your Majesty an explanation first?"
Actually, Davos had planned to give up on the matter.
After all, Second Stag has been dead for several years, and his mood has calmed down a lot.
In the years when Second Stag died completely, Jon has been proving the responsibility and courage of oneself to the world with his actions. In the end, he also beheaded the Others King, the hero who ended Long Night.
Perhaps, R'hllor and Red Woman cheated on Your Majesty?
Perhaps, death is really a relief for Your Majesty?
But just two days ago, when he was passing by the Stormlands Bronzegate Earl's tent, he accidentally overheard the conversation between the two Nobles inside.
Old Earl Ralph is entertaining Earl Alekyne Florent of Brightwater.
"Queen Sansa's meaning is obvious, she wants to keep the honor and future of her oneself brother. But your cousin, Lady Selyse, still lives in the Red Keep.
She has never forgotten North's Ice King killed oneself's husband and has been clamoring for a great trial of North's Ice King..."
"Would you like to share your worries for Queen Your Majesty?" Old Earl Ralph Meaningful ask.
"Selyse and Stannis burned my father, I think she deserves it." Alekyne's voice didn't hide the murderous aura.
"No, you don't have to be so extreme." Ralph waved his hand and said with a smile: "The Queen just hopes she doesn't come out and say nonsense, you are the patriarch of House Florent, and should be the widowed cousin who lost her husband and children. Take her home, take good care of her, don't let her go out, don't let her talk nonsense to others, don't make trouble!"
Alekyne also smiled, "Understood, I will handle this matter properly. ."
Laughing for a while, Brightwater Earl said hesitantly: "Actually, my cousin has been crazy in recent years, and it's hard to hurt North's Ice King, but Davos...
Stannis promoted him from a smuggler to the current Duke of Rainwood, and even made him the oneself Hand of the King..."
After a pause, he said slowly: "As long as Onion Knight is a little bit grateful, he will not pretend to be deaf and dumb, and deliberately forget the promise of 'great trial after the end of Long Night' five years ago?"
"he he he ... ..." Earl Ralph smiled contemptuously, "Don't worry, he's a smart guy and has made the smartest choice.
Others King has been dead for more than a week, why hasn't he Bringing up the trial?
Baratheon is almost extinct, and he received a great favor from Queen Sansa in Long Night. There is no reason to offend the current Queen for the dead.
It is said that , Queen Sansa also intends to prepare a seat for him in the new Minister of State!"
"Is the Minister of State, enough for the price of betrayal." Alekyne resigned and sighed: "Speaking of which, Stannis is really miserable, struggling for a lifetime, but family broken and people lost, notorious, bloodline cut off..."
Hearing this, Davos slowly retreated.
He had a decision in his heart, and there was no need to eavesdrop.
"Duke Jon, you killed Stannis Your Majesty, should this be over?"
At this moment, the white-haired old man pointed at Jon and asked, "Dragon The Queen once said that when you kill the Others King, she will remove you from being a monarch.
I'm okay with that, because heroes deserve this kind of treatment.
But you When he murdered Stannis Your Majesty, he was his bannermen. Kingslaughter, what?"
"I..."
Jon is still hesitating, Queen Sansa He stood up suddenly and said angrily: "Duke of Rainwood, Jon beheaded the Others King, there is a life-saving grace for the living people in the world, you want to be ungrateful?"
"Your Majesty, I also participated in the war, I The fifth son Devan, the sixth son Stannis, and the seventh son Stiv all participated in the final battle with me," Davos pointed his finger around the crowd, "Everyone here, to defend the country and the living world, contribute all the strength of oneself, Isn't it?
My fifth son, Devan, broke an arm, and the sixth son, Stannis, was buried with the bodies of tens of thousands of martyrs.
Even the long-dead Stannis Your Majesty, who was in Winterfell He sacrificed his life and sacrificed his life to protect the people of Crownlands, have you all forgotten?
His successor, whether it was Mya I or the young Daeminya, which was not the one who sacrificed his life to end Long Night? "
"Dragon Queen is right, we are all heroes, no one is inferior to anyone else!" he growled.
Queen Sansa took the imposing manner and said softly: "Don't get excited, I don't mean to let Jon be exonerated with the merits of saving the world.
It's just that Richard and Suggs were two of a kind that day. Ser has proven that Jon is at least in self-defense, and that Stannis is also controlled by R'hllor in body and consciousness."
"If it was not his oneself but R'hllor who controlled Your Majesty's body at that time, then, Wouldn't that be more proof of Your Majesty's death?"
Davos had been thinking about this for years, and almost without thinking, the question blurted out: "Duke Jon knows Your Majesty is - manipulated, knows Your Majesty is not. Violating the oath of the ruler and minister, but when he has the ability to stop Your Majesty's actions, he blatantly murdered, isn't that right?"
Sansa was stunned, and was speechless for a while.
"I just want to free him, death is the best option for him." Jon helplessly said.
"Relieved?" Davos burst into tears and asked loudly, "Is he really relieved? Where is his Soul? If you can guarantee him to go to Heaven, I will apologize to you immediately!"
"Stannis can't go to Heaven. When he died the first time, a part of Soul Core was taken away by R'hllor." Jon said bitterly.
"Alive, there's always a chance!" Davos said firmly.
"If he lives to this day and participates in the final battle, Mother might be infinite, can he be redeemed?
If he does not die, Mya, Gendry, Daeminya will also not die.
Long Night is over, House Baratheon can at least have a successor, even the branches are scattered, the branches are flourishing, and the future is promising, but what about now?
If Your Majesty Seeing that the family castle ancestral land is occupied by outsiders, but the bloodline of oneself is cut off, can he be free?"
In the end, the old Knight covered his face and cried bitterly.
The atmosphere at the scene was tragic, Jon was silent, Queen Sansa hesitated, and the princes pondered.
In the silence, Margaery whispered to Uncle Baelor: "Duke of Rainwood is right..."
Baelor Brightsmile glared at her and said : "Don't talk nonsense."
Old Knight wiped the tears from his face, straightened his back, and said loudly: "The noble adults are silent, because Duke Jon killed Others King, and because he is Dragon Queen's nephew?"
"Old man, shouldn't Stannis be dead?" dwarf stood up, walked to the center of the hall, said with a sneer: "He killed Renly and Shireen, that's his biological The brother and biological daughter, the murderer kin, deserve our justice?
Even if he is controlled by R'hllor in body and mind, why doesn't R'hllor control others?
For example, wouldn't it be more direct and more enjoyable if it fell on Jon's Wildlings wife and bit his cock in one bite?"
"Tyrion!" Sansa, Jon, Davos, Even the Red God believers who were in the audience blushed and shouted angrily.
dwarf shrugged and said with a smile: "Everyone is an adult, so excited? Am I wrong? R'hllor came to Stannis only because he believed in R'hllor.
Believe in Evil God but be harmed by Evil God, don't they deserve it?"
