Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep

Chapter 153: Deepwood Motte and Leah of Kaho

After returning to Deepwood Castle, Myrcella was brought to Hearth Keep. Jack asked his servants to prepare a room for Myrcella.

The nobles were extremely happy about Myrcella's arrival. Having a bargaining chip in their hands was much better than starting a war directly.

With the bargaining chip, the negotiating position of both parties is directly tilted towards them, especially now that the Iron Throne always dies the king.

If the new king dies one day, Myrcella's political status will be different.

During lunch, Myrcella sat next to Jack and asked with some uncertainty: "Do you really want to marry me?"

"Of course, your children and I will rule the Stormlands in the future and become the Duke of the Stormlands."

Myrcella looked sad and whispered: "But I am still so young, it is impossible to have a child, and the Duke of Stormland is my brother Tommen."

Jack swallowed the bread in his mouth, took a sip of milk and said: "Your brother is dead and was poisoned at the wedding. Now your brother is the lord of the Iron Throne."

"But if your brother dies, there will be no successor in the Stormlands except you."

"Are you going to kill my brother?" Myrcella's face was not very good. "Can you not kill him? If you defeat him, can you spare his life? I am willing to give birth to your child, and I can also persuade him to bring the storm to the world." The position of Duke is officially and reasonably passed on to your child."

"I won't kill him, but that doesn't mean others won't kill him. If he can survive in the whirlpool of power in King's Landing, I promise you to spare his life."

In Jack's view, Tommen's character will be safe under Tywin's protection, but once Tywin dies, Tommen will inevitably be controlled by Margaery or Cersei, and he will inevitably end up dead.

"What's going on in King's Landing now?" Daenerys suddenly asked.

"Chaos, not only King's Landing, the entire Seven Kingdoms are in chaos now, but Dorne has already written to me. Once there is a war with the Iron Throne, they will send troops from the south to the north."

"Our main and most important goal is to defeat the army in the West. The Riverlands are most likely supporters of the Baratheon Dynasty. In addition, the Riverlands, Stormlands, and the Kingdom are all under the control of the Iron Throne. middle."

"As for the Valley, I'm not sure at the moment. The current Duke of the Valley is named Petyr Baelish. He is a very dangerous person. He is proficient in maneuvering and likes to create chaos."

Daenerys shook her lips, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "The valley has a natural barrier with the Blood Gate. If you want to conquer the valley, you must at least wait until the dragon grows up."

The valley has a natural barrier called the Blood Gate, and external military forces are basically unable to break through the Blood Gate. When Aegon conquered the valley, he relied on giant dragons.

Jack shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, Valley. I have two pieces of news in my hand, and I will let people spread them out later."

"News? Can you tell me?" Daenerys asked curiously.

"There's nothing I can't say. I was going to spread it."

"The first one is about the Vale, where Lord Jon Arryn was poisoned."

"Duke Erin was poisoned?!" Myrcella said in surprise.

When Jon Arryn died, Myrcella was still sad for a long time.

"Yes, Jon Arryn was poisoned to death by Petyr Baelish and Lysa Tully."

"The second point is the death of Joffrey Baratheon. He was poisoned by Petyr Baelish and Olenna Redwin."

"!!!" Daenerys and Myrcella were shocked.

Myrcella is shocked by Petyr Baelish's ability to disguise herself, while Daenerys is shocked by the man's audacity.

After eating for a while, Jack asked Daenerys to arrange for someone to prepare letters and then send them to the nobles in the Valley, Stormland and King's Landing. As long as they are nobles, everyone should send a copy, regardless of their title.

At the same time, in a small village near Last Hearth City.

A patrol of Winter's Children walked into an inn in the village.

The team leader raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Boss, three glasses of ale, three sausages and three bowls of black bread and pickle soup."

After Jack arranged for the grain harvest, prices in the area north of Hearth City dropped slightly.

The Children of Winter also receive a monthly military salary of six hundred copper coins. Now a sausage and a glass of ale cost only two copper coins.

These military salaries come from Hearth City's reserves, as well as land rent taxes collected when harvesting grain.

At this time, Jack's expenses for maintaining the Children of Winter and the Knights were very huge.

Even with the newly collected taxes and Hearth City's reserve funds, it won't last long unless the entire northern border supports these two standing armies.

At this moment, another group of people suddenly broke in. After these five people glanced at everyone aggressively, their eyes suddenly locked on a tightly covered woman in the corner.

Adama looked proud and walked directly to the corner. Adama roughly pushed away the guests eating along the way.

As Adama approached, the disguised Aly Karstark in the corner began to tremble in fear.

Soon Adama arrived at the table where the Son of Winter was cooking. Before the food was served, the table in front of Dhawan was violently kicked open.

Dawan's face was shaking with anger. Ever since he joined the Sons of Winter, he was promoted to the leader of the scout team because of his better performance. He has never been so humiliated since then.

"Who do you belong to? With such lawlessness, you are not afraid of being eaten alive by the dragon?" Dawan asked with an ugly face.

When Adama heard this, he looked back and first took a look at Dawan. He found that Dawan had a long sword on his waist, and the two people beside him were both holding wooden-handled axes. They looked like wild men outside the Great Wall.

"Are you a wild man? I heard that the wild men who advocate freedom surrendered to a blackfire bastard. It seems that the rumors are true. Did you exchange that long sword for your freedom? Hahahaha."

"Hahaha." Adama's four men also laughed at him.

They had heard in Kaho City that a blackfire bastard of the Long family appeared on the Great Wall and subdued the wild men and the Night's Watch with a dragon.

In Adama's view, these were all lies. The dragon had disappeared for hundreds of years, and there was no such creature as a dragon from the beginning to the end.

These were just lies made up by the Targaryen family to maintain their rule.

And the so-called blackfire dragon rider must be the blackfire who recruited mercenaries from the other side of the narrow sea to defeat the wild men.

After the wildlings were forced to surrender, they joined forces with the Blackfyre Bastard to fabricate a lie about the dragon's appearance in order to save their own face.

Adama had been a squire of a knight in White Harbor. He could read and write, and had seen the mercenaries across the narrow sea.

After Adama was fired, he always felt that he was superior to others, and that he had insights and rational thinking that others did not have.
