Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web
#172 - The adopted son of Winterfell
“The Iron Islands have submitted. Asha Greyjoy succeeds as Duchess, Victarion Greyjoy is appointed ‘Guardian of the Sunset Sea’.”
Theon stared at the message on the God-given light screen, unable to recover for a long time.
Asha became the Duchess of Greyjoy?
Theon knew this was how it should be, but when he recalled the bow-legged, pockmarked, clumsy girl of the past, he always felt it was absurd and unreal.
It's different now.
Lord Balon is dead. Theon told himself again, now is the time for our generation.
Me.
Asha... Asha, ha.
Theon still found it difficult to completely reverse his perception.
Compared to Asha's transformation, he could accept the appointment of his uncle Victarion much more easily.
Guardian of the Sunset Sea, this position is most suitable for my uncle. Patrol, fight, guard the sea, Victarion is skilled and content, and there is no need to worry about his loyalty.
Theon still remembered his size and personality.
He is the commander-in-chief of the Iron Fleet, a fearless warrior, a serious warrior.
He is also a clumsy gray bull, strong, tireless, and loyal to his duties, but you can't expect him to win any races.
Without a doubt, he would serve every lord as he served his father, with neither the ability nor the ambition to plot a rebellion, just like every younger brother who grew up in the shadow of his older brother.
For others, the more people who humbly dedicate themselves like this, the better, but whether they are willing or not, younger brothers can only become like this in the end.
There's no way around it, younger sons always get this treatment.
Theon was just glad that he hadn't spent too long being tormented by his older brother Rodrik and his second brother Maron.
If he had continued to endure Rodrik's drunken slaps and Maron's vicious taunts and endless lies until adulthood, Theon couldn't imagine what he would have become.
The Starks of Winterfell were much better.
Theon didn't know why he thought of the brothers in that ice fortress.
Robb, the eldest brother, maintained his majesty well, but he didn't beat or scold Bran all day long, but rather doted on this younger brother quite a bit.
It was Lord and Lady Stark, Old Nan, and Maester Luwin who taught Bran to respect his elder brother and fulfill his responsibilities, and the methods could be called gentle and considerate, like soaking in a hot spring, like a warm breeze blowing on his face.
Theon sometimes couldn't help but envy or even resent the Starks' relationship.
The Greyjoys of past generations rarely had such harmony.
But he would occasionally use malicious speculation to comfort himself: at least he could see Rodrik and Maron's ugly faces clearly, and know who was hindering and enemy of his realization of power, honor, and the future.
And Bran?
A warm dream, love, affection, and responsibility bind Bran.
This kid probably won't be able to see the truth in his entire life, and will only smile and assist Robb, who inherited Winterfell, and probably think he is so happy and satisfied.
How could Bran have imagined that he might inherit Winterfell and become the next Lord Stark?
They are such a harmonious and happy family. Bran was born to be his elder brother's vassal and assistant, and spend his life peacefully under his elder brother's protection.
Even at Bran's age, who has a free mind, he only dares to dream of being a member of the Kingsguard.
How much difference is there?
It's just changing the object of service from Winterfell to the king.
Now, Bran is about to fulfill his dream.
Theon pitied and mocked.
Nevertheless, the warm and peaceful daily life of the Stark family often allowed Theon to experience another world, the world of the Green Lands.
However, the warmth of Winterfell did not shine on Theon.
Lord Eddard allowed Theon to grow up with his children, trying to play the role of a father. The long time spent with Robb almost made Theon regard him as a younger brother.
But Theon was never one of them.
Everyone in the city, from Lady Stark to the lowest kitchen boy, knew that he was a hostage used to ensure his father's 'good behavior', and they treated him as such.
Even the bastard Jon Snow enjoyed better treatment than him.
Theon was most upset about this.
That bastard was gloomy and very sensitive to any ridicule, especially jealous of Theon's noble birth and Robb's attention to him.
Mutual contempt made their relationship obviously not very good.
In fact, the disputes and competitions with Jon Snow ran through Theon's entire time in Winterfell, and instead became a kind of seasoning in his life.
Now the two of them are serving in the Kingsguard at the same time, I really don't know what kind of unlucky fate this is.
Thinking of this, Theon finally smiled slightly.
The future of the two people is already completely different, one travels the sea, and the other stays where he is.
Jon Snow is just the castellan of the dilapidated Eyrie, and he is only temporary. How can he compare with his entire Iron Islands?
It is already a great fluke for a bastard to lead the Sixth Regiment of the Kingsguard.
Although Theon's Seventh Regiment is about to be disbanded, a thousand Holy Warriors will go to the Iron Islands with him to take office, assist him in controlling the Iron Islands, absorb the Iron Fleet, and serve as the backbone of the Sunset Sea Fleet.
At that time, the Sunset Sea Fleet with hundreds of warships will make the Seven Kingdoms tremble!
I will achieve feats that the Iron Islands have never touched!
I will conquer the Stepstones, conquer the Free Trade City-States, conquer Qarth and Asshai, conquer the unknown other side of the Sunset Sea!
I will become the most legendary kraken!
For this.
Even if it means enduring Asha's inheritance of the Greyjoy glory and name, and even staining his hands with the blood of the Ironborn, he will not hesitate!
For this.
We must complete the last mission.
Theon took a deep breath, looked up at the depths of the rainforest ahead, the Mistwood Castle which was integrated with the green forest and the misty haze.
Forest and mist, Mistwood Castle is named for this.
Although it is only a few dozen steps away from the city wall, what Theon saw was still a green scene, and he would lose sight of the target if he was not careful.
The rainforest is like this.
Theon was no longer surprised by this situation.
This vast forest in Cape Wrath is humid and rainy, and the soil is fertile and soft.
Cedar, hemlock, maple, oak, redwood, sentinel trees, soldier pines, and worm trees thrive here, and the perennial mist provides good cover for the rainforest castle.
The Kingsguard, most of whom were orphans from King's Landing, were initially not used to this combat environment, and even almost caused casualties.
Fortunately, with the intelligence support of the Security Bureau and the treatment of the priests, after conquering the fortresses according to plan, the warriors of the Seventh Regiment gradually adapted and became more than capable.
Mistwood Castle is the last fortress.
After taking Mistwood Castle, the entire Cape Wrath will be completely recovered.
After that, Theon and the Seventh Regiment will take a boat to Arbor from Weeping Town, and then return to the Iron Islands with the Royal Fleet of Arbor.
Along the way, we have to hunt another kraken.
Uncle Euron.
“Sir Theon, look, the Mistwood Castle's raven has been released.” Adam Whitehead reminded softly.
Theon knew that Countess Marriane Merryweather of Mistwood Castle was an old woman with many children and grandchildren, so it seemed that this battle would take a little longer.
He spread his hands, clean and without any blood stains.
“Open fire.”
Theon knew what to do.
“There is no need to end the battle in a hurry, clean it up carefully, there must be many rebels in Mistwood Castle.”
Having done these tasks now.
Winterfell has completely become a thing of the past, and the Starks will only become more estranged and contemptuous of him.
Only the Iron Islands are left.
