Game of Thrones: I'm flying a dragon on your face, how do you respond?
Chapter 29 The South is Set
Next, Sir William focused on instructing the two princes. As for Viserys... forget it. He has neither the talent of Jaehaerys nor the tenacity of Rhaenys. At best, he is a Myrish lace, beautiful but impractical.
Viserys, who was ignored by Sir William, was now sleeping soundly on the bed, dreaming of punching Jaehaerys and kicking Rhaenys, so beautiful that his nose was full of snot bubbles.
-------------------------------------
Outside King's Landing, a large-scale tournament was in full swing.
"Thank you, His Majesty Robert, long live His Majesty Robert" Countless people cheered and rejoiced. Thousands of knights gathered here, and there were hundreds of people participating in the tournament. The competitions included jousting, team competitions, and archery competitions. The total prize money was 20,000 gold dragons, including 10,000 gold dragons for the champion of the jousting competition, 6,000 for the team competition, and 4,000 for the archery competition. The generous prize money made everyone eager to move.
In addition to the generous prize money, there are rumors that the winner of this competition will serve His Majesty Robert and become the new White Robe Guard, which makes everyone crazy.
Some people have compared this tournament with the "White Robe War", which was a grand event to select the White Robe Guard through a tournament after the coronation of Jaehaerys I more than 230 years ago, because there were 5 vacancies in the Kingsguard.
At this moment, there are actually 5 White Robe Guards still alive. After Robert was coronated, he pardoned "Fearless" Barristan and "King Killer" Jaime Lannister, and their other three sworn brothers have never been seen.
Lord Eddard has taken the cavalry to relieve the siege of Storm's End, but according to his message, the White Robe Guards are also missing in the Stormlands. Robert believes that they must have held his fiancée Lyanna hostage, so he ordered the lords of various places to search, but there is no letter yet.
Robert originally planned to pardon the knights who participated in the defense of the Red Keep, but Tywin firmly disagreed. The latter believed that they were staunch supporters of the Targaryen family and must be executed!
Finally, at the suggestion of Lord Jon Arryn, they were given the choice of execution or wearing black clothes.
Most people chose to wear black clothes and were sent to the Wall after Robert's coronation. Only a few were pardoned by Robert.
In the end, this tournament, which was enjoyed by both the host and the guests, lasted for 3 days. Robert selected two people, Boros Brawne and a knight named Weiss Austin, and appointed them as his Kingsguard. As for the other three vacancies, he still hoped that the three people, White Bull and Dawn Sword, would be able to bring their fiancées back and swear allegiance to him!
I, Robert, became king by bravery and making friends! Haven't you seen how many enemies were conquered by my powerful personality charm and finally turned enemies into friends?
But those dragon cubs still have to be killed, otherwise there will always be some people with ulterior motives who will secretly collude with Dragonstone.
So, after the tournament, Robert quickly ordered Grand Maester Pycelle to send a raven to Storm's End, asking Stannis to select sailors and build warships. After the training is completed, he will immediately send troops to Dragonstone to escort the Targaryen daughter-cousin and her cubs back to King's Landing, without leaving anyone out!
Women and girls can be kept as hostages. But it would be better if the three princes could fall off the warship halfway!
When the raven flew to Storm's End, Eddard also arrived with his army. Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Lord Merry Tyrell and his lords surrendered to Eddard very neatly and swore allegiance to King Robert.
However, Earl Pactus Redwyne, who was drifting on the sea, was asked to send his twins, Horace and Hobber, born to Mina Tyrell, to King's Landing as hostages.
The Earl of the Arbor knew that he was asked to do his best for Robert. At present, all the Targaryen royal fleets were brought to Dragonstone, and the defense of Blackwater Bay was empty. As long as they wanted, King's Landing and the Crownland could be attacked anytime and anywhere.
Among the three major fleets of the kingdom, the Ironmen were not law-abiding. In addition to the Ironmen's longship fleet, only his Arbor fleet could compete with the Dragonstone fleet!
Robert would not let this big wronged man go. Fortunately, he had something to ask of him, so his two children would not have any safety problems. But when he thought of him holding him at will, he got angry and had to get some benefits, otherwise he would lose a lot!
So after swearing allegiance in front of Eddard Stark, he sent someone to send his twin sons to King's Landing, and at the same time sent envoys to request a ten-year exemption from tariffs on the Arbor.
In negotiations, you have to ask for a lion's mouth? The Arbor is similar in size to Tarth, but it is ten times richer than the latter! Can it afford the most powerful fleet on the continent? Can they have a full 200 warships?
Isn't it because Qingting Island can produce the best quality wine in the entire continent and sell it all over the world?
As long as the tariffs are waived, the wealth of the Redwyne family will be further improved in the next ten years! It will become the richest and most influential lord family in the Reach, even surpassing the Hightower family in Oldtown!
I, Old Lei, am also a dreamer!
"Sir Penrose! Please select no less than 3,000 sailors and order the lord families near the rainforest to speed up the felling of trees. We must build a strong enough fleet before the storm comes next autumn!" Stannis Baratheon took his brother's letter from Maester Cressen. No, it should be called a handwritten order now!
I can't believe it! Now that his brother is the king, this magnificent castle under his feet... Stannis is full of expectations, this is what he deserves!
If it weren't for him, his soldiers would have surrendered the city long ago!
If it weren't for him, the 30,000 soldiers in the Reach and the 200 powerful Qingting Island fleet would have rushed straight to King's Landing!
Reward according to merit, it is only right that I become the Duke of Storm's End!
I know that I am not loved by the nobles, I will be a good lord, although I have a tough character and never give up, although I am old-fashioned and serious, but I will still be a good lord, I will give fairness and justice to my subjects!
But before that, I have to complete the order of my king brother, and then he will definitely give me Storm's End! And Renly? My poor brother, you should kneel down and beg our king brother to give you Dragonstone!
Eddard did not find his sister under Storm's End. He was confused. Now, except for Dorne and Dragonstone, the world was still undecided. Varys's intelligence on Dragonstone said that he had never seen the White Guards, and Dorne was a long way away and had not yet received a reply. Now there were only the Reach and the Dorne Borderland in the south, which had not been explored in detail.
He had already scattered his 3,000 cavalrymen like sowing grain, hoping to get some news. He did not dare to think of a more terrible situation. Lyanna had "wolf blood", and wolves would never compromise...
