The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Davos Seaworth and his son followed Count Matus's attendants to the small hall. When they saw his figure, they waited for Matus Rowan to take the initiative to greet him.

"Good day, Lord Rowan. He is my second son, Arad Seaworth."

"Good day, Lord Seaworth."

After the ceremony, Count Matus showed a friendly smile: "I have heard about your experience and welcome you back to the Seven Kingdoms."

Hearing this, Davos frowned imperceptibly.

"Because I made a mistake, I became a wandering knight. It was Duke Green who kindly took me in. For this... I am very grateful."

Then, Davos glanced around casually and changed the subject abruptly: "Your house is beautifully decorated."

"...Thank you for your compliment, please sit down."

Matus and Seaworth took their seats, while Arad stood behind his father holding the wooden box.

After chatting for a while, Davos gestured to his son and said, "Count Rowan, we have captured a person."

Arad placed the wooden box on the round table, and after receiving Count Matus' permission, he opened the lid.

Count Matus's upper body leaned forward slightly, his eyes moved into the wooden box, he paused, and said with some surprise: "Olain Weishui?"

"Arad noticed something unusual when he was serving in the royal fleet."

As he spoke, Davos couldn't help but glanced at his son with relief: "O'Rain suddenly ordered the fleet anchored in Blackwater Bay to set sail. After I received the news, I worked with Arad and his men to prevent his defection. ”

"What a clever young man. I will report Arad's bravery to His Majesty the King."

First he praised, then Count Matus pondered for a moment, and then said: "Where are the ships that the illegitimate son took away?"

"Many of the ships were damaged, so I left them at Mermaid Port... Well, the craftsmanship of the shipyard over there is good, and more importantly, it's close."

Arad glanced at his father who answered seriously and pursed his lips.

The Sea Lord, who was not at the command of the fleet, stared at the head in the wooden box and thought for a while, then closed the lid with a move of his hand.

"Earl Seaworth, in the name of the Lord of the Sea, I intend to invite you to serve as the commander of the royal fleet."

Davos was a little surprised and said: "Commander of the royal fleet?"

Count Matus nodded: "To be honest, this..."

He pointed and said, "The illegitimate commander almost destroyed the royal fleet. Now Blackwater Bay needs an outstanding captain to defend it."

In Arad's excited expression, Davos shook his head slightly: "Count Rowan, thank you for your invitation, but please forgive me for rejecting your kindness. I am the captain of the Kleb family, and Lord Green entrusted it to me. His mission is to guard Dragonstone."

"It seems that this head makes me too happy."

Count Matus rubbed the wooden box with his fingers, and then said: "I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully enough. I will write to Duke Green about this matter."

Davos nodded humbly: "It is an honor for me to receive your invitation."

…………

Leaving Count Matus' mansion, Seaworth and his son mounted their horses.

After riding for a while, Arad glanced around, kicked the horse's belly, and approached Davos' horse.

"Father, did the earl do this on purpose?"

Davos glanced at Arad and said, "Not sure."

He moved the reins, adjusted the direction of the horse, and said: "These are not important. My son, the Seaworth family must remember that we are Lord Green's vassals at all times."

"I will remember your teachings, Father."

After a pause, Arad scratched his head like a child: "When I heard that you were invited to be the commander of the royal fleet, I almost..."

"There's poison in gold."

The old father reached out and patted the ashamed Arad: "You have done a good job. I am proud of your bravery, my son."

With Arad's contribution, the Seaworth family will soon have a third knight... Thinking of this, Daverston felt relieved.

Although his father's praise made Arad very happy, he was still upset: "If you hadn't led the Dragonstone fleet to stop him, maybe the bastard commander would have escaped. I underestimated him."

The old father patiently enlightened: "Arad, when you can send the information about Oren Weishui's intention to defect to me in time, it can be said that we have won... As for what happens next, wars are always difficult. Victory is not won by one person. If you grow from this matter, I believe you will serve Lord Green even better in the future."

Iron Islands, City of Ten Towers.

In order to avoid the Crow's Eye, Asha Greyjoy, who arrived in the afternoon, waited until the dead of night before entering the Ten Towers City.

As she walked through the courtyard under the Library Tower (one of the ten towers in the Ten Towers City), she suddenly stopped, touched the dagger on her back with one hand, and looked at one place warily.

A dark figure stepped out from behind the well, and the moonlight transformed it into a man wearing a sealskin cloak.

"Damn Tris!" Asha pinned the dagger back.

The young man's name is Tristefan Botley, and he is the second son of Shavon Botley, the leader of the Iron Islands and King's Harbor.

After Asha's brother was sent to the Duke of Winterfell to raise, Asha's mother adopted five boys, one of whom was Trysteffen.

Tristéphane had messy hair and big, candid eyes like a seal: "Chief Rodrik told me that you will come back from your busy schedule recently... I've been waiting for you every night, and I want to see you."

With a chuckle, Asha grinned: "Look at me? Where do you want to look?"

She shrugged: "Well, I'm grown up now, so please look at it as you like."

As children, Asha and Tris both struggled with acne, which brought the two of them closer together.

As they grew older, both she and he became more and more curious about sexual intercourse. One day... when he touched her, he was discovered by Maester Quillen of the Greyjoy family, and then... Tris was touched by Asha's... His father sent him to Kuroshio Island to be the adopted son of the leader of Blacktys, and Asha never saw him again.

Tristéphane approached: "Asha, you have become a woman, and you are very charming."

Asha looked at this playmate. Compared with her memory, Tris was much bigger and taller. His face... was very handsome.

However, he is still as gentle as before, which is the misfortune of being an Ironborn.

But...this was Tris, her childhood friend.

Asha smiled: "Your tongue is as sweet as before... I heard that you are now the leader of King's Harbor. Well, congratulations."

He stared at her and said slowly: "He is the nominal leader of King's Harbor. Because my father insisted that the position of Seastone should belong to your brother - Theon Greyjoy. After Crow's Eye drowned my father , still holding a grudge, he assigned half of the territory to the Weifang family, and the remaining territory was given to my uncle who was forced to be loyal to him. "

House Weaver is a minor house with little fame in the history of the Iron Islands, but they are one of the Crow's Eye's supporters in the Kingsmoot.

"You sound like a really pathetic little kid."

Asha patted Tristephan's arm comfortingly and promised: "According to rights, King's Harbor is yours. Don't worry, I will return your father's land to you immediately after I get back the Sea Stone position. "

Tristephan shook his head slightly: "Actually, this means nothing to me... I wrote a letter to you, but Yoslan (the bachelor of Kuroshio Island) was unwilling to send it out for me. I found an opportunity, and I gave A silver stag for an oarsman, and he promises to deliver my letter to you..."

He loves me......

Asha spread her hands and said with a smile: "Obviously, you were tricked by the rower. He threw your letter into the sea."

"You look so lovely in the moonlight. Asha, they never forwarded your letter to me."

Asha was slightly embarrassed that she had never written to Tris... In fact, she was relieved that he was sent away by her father, because she was tired of his groping by then.

Asha smiled and suddenly said: "Tris, since you have appeared here, do you mean that you are willing to follow me? You should know very well that I want to drive Crow's Eye down from the sea stone."

Tristéphane stared at her motionless: "No matter what you do, I will support you. I am yours, forever and ever."

He moved closer and said, "Asha, I want to marry you. Your mother has agreed to my request."

She should have asked him first, even though her answer... he wouldn't have liked it at all.

"I am already the legal leader of Botley, and I will fully support you." Tris groped her body as before, and could feel that he had been patient for a long time.

Asha pushed him away: "Tris, we are no longer just children exploring each other. You think you want to marry me, but that's not the case. What you really want is..."

Tristéphane interrupted: "No, I only want you, you are all my dreams. Asha, I have never touched another woman since we separated. I can swear to the Drowned God."

Asha's voice was slightly stiff: "Then go ahead and touch one, two, or ten, it doesn't matter to me. Tris, I've touched countless men. Some with my lips, some with my lips. with an axe.”

Tristéphan was a little in disbelief: "I thought you would wait for me... Why did you do this, Asha, was someone forcing you?"

"No, I forced those men to take off their clothes."

Asha pushed away Tristéphane who wanted to hug her again: "You don't want to marry me, believe me. If we get married, you will soon hate me."

"No, Asha, I promise to love you forever..."

A murdered father, a sick mother, a cunning uncle, and a domesticated younger brother are enough to overwhelm any woman.

Asha was impatient. She didn't need another weak puppy who adored her.

She said coldly: "Find a girl, she will make you forget about me, Tris."

Tristephan shook his head: "You and I are destined to be together. I always thought that you would be my wife and the mother of my son, Asha!"

When Tris tried to hold Asha again, she held her dagger to his throat.

"I'm going to throw one into your bed tonight, pretend she's me, and you can fuck her hard all night long."

Asha sheathed the dagger, leaving Tris standing there.

"Don't touch me again. I am your queen. Remember."

…………

Dozens of candles were lit in my uncle's study, making it look like daylight.

When Asha came in, her uncle was still burying himself in the pile of books and reading as usual.

"Uncle, why did you light so many candles tonight? Is it to welcome me?"

After a pause, Rodrik Harlo took his eyes off the book and said, "It was the advice of the maester on my eyes. He told me to light more candles when reading at night."

Asha shrugged and then sat down on the empty chair in front of her uncle's desk.

"Why are you so anxious for me to come back?"

"You don't look very happy?"

Uncle and niece asked almost at the same time. Rodrik smiled slightly and said, "You go first."

Asha grinned, "I met Tris downstairs. He wants to marry me. I heard that my mother agreed."

"Your mother may have forgotten what she said."

Rodrik looked at his niece slightly and continued, "If Tristen wants to take back his rights, he needs to help you get back the Seastone position first. He can be trusted, so I allowed him to wait for you there."

He said again: "You may be able to use Tris to solve the marriage that Crow's Eye has arranged for you."

Asha rubbed her head with a headache: "Uncle, only by solving the Crow's Eye can we stop the conspiracy of using marriage to tie my hands and feet again. One sword can't do anything. What I need is 10,000 swords."

Rodrik pointed to the kettle on the table: "It contains refreshing malt liquor."

Asha blinked her eyes, she picked up the wine jug in surprise and looked at it, and said: "Uncle, don't you never allow such things to appear in your study?"

"This is the last time."

Seeing her uncle glanced at the books beside her worriedly, Asha raised her head and laughed.

After laughing for a long time, Asha picked up the wine jug and took a big sip, then exhaled comfortably.

After Asha put the wine pot back on the table, Rodrik slowly spoke: "Is the trip to the Green Land smooth?"

Asha leaned back in her chair, paused, and said: "Duke Green Crab proposed to use my brother to lure Crow's Eye off the ship and prepare a trap for him on land."

Rodrik frowned for a while and said: "What are the conditions? Do you want to marry him?"

"He is more interested in the treasures of Crow's Eye."

Asha stretched out her back, half lying on the chair, and said angrily: "I took off my clothes in front of him twice, but he didn't show any interest in me. Alas!"

Rodrik smiled faintly at the corner of his lips: "Maybe that lord likes women wearing skirts in the Green Land."

Asha held her forehead weakly: "My dear uncle, don't gloat there."

She straightened up and looked over: "I guess he doesn't like women. Ahem, a real man can't refuse me."

Rodrik nodded: "Maybe... But it doesn't matter. He Suo just brought back the treasure of Crow's Eye (Chapter 438), which is more important."
