The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Lannis Harbor.

A city with a powerful fleet and city garrison.

Main fort.

Mullen Lannister sat in the dark shadow of the study, the light of the candle shining on a book, and a piece of parchment was placed on the book. There was only one sentence on it: Stannis I died, and he did not leave a will. On the Iron Throne, there is no heir under the law.

There is no signature on the parchment.

Mullen Lannister is a branch of Lannister’s family, but he is a man who knows his own abilities very well. He can manage Lannister Port well, he can hold Lannister Port and grow him, this is the upper limit of his ability. .

This news brought unease rather than opportunity for Mullen, because he didn't want to fight, he wanted stability. The west is stable, the kingdom is stable, and the mainland is stable.

Stability is the prerequisite for the prosperity and prosperity of port trade.

During his lifetime, Tywin Lannister assisted his grandson, Joffrey Baratheon, to rule in the West. The result was a fiasco in the West. The capital Kaiyan City was occupied by the three-place coalition led by Ed Stark, and Kaiyan City’s wealth was looted. When it was empty, the palace of heroes built by gold no longer existed.

During the war, Tai Wen’s resurrection once brought a ray of vitality to the West, but soon this ray of life was extinguished by a night watchman named Will Tsao, blocking Ed Stark’s coalition forces. The city of Golden Tooth became a lonely city, and the cities in the rear fell one after another.

The city of Lannisport was not spared either, but it was not surrendered in battle, but surrendered peacefully. Lannis Port also paid the price of being surrendered. The money and food were half taken by the coalition forces. The only thing to be thankful for was that the navy and the city garrison were not weakened.

Lannis Harbor has established a naval fleet because of the long-term threat of fighting the Iron Islands and pirates. This is a major force in the port city and one of the reasons why Mullen has no ambition to dominate the West. The navy is only good at naval warfare.

After Tywin Lannister was stabbed to death for the second time after his resurrection, the Westerners' fighting will was completely blown away. After their wealth was taken away by the three-place coalition forces, the Westerners' vitality was greatly injured. After Kaivon Lannister once again led the army in the West to conquer Tyrell in response to Stannis I's order, the most powerful family in the West is Mullen Lannister.

When Kevon Lannister was called by Stannis to leave the West, he asked Mullen Lannister to make preparations. He hadn't understood what the preparations were at the time. Now, if you think about it carefully, this is exactly what Stannis I. Related to his death.

Kaifeng is planning some things and has achieved success in some of them.

But Mullen Lannister would rather Stannis I not die.

There is no one on the Iron Throne now, but he knows that after a while, there will be many people vying to sit on it. The West has just stabilized, and it seems that it will once again be involved in greater chaos.

He wanted to be stable, and didn't want to get involved in a certain king's battle for the Iron Throne again.

The wealth of his family's hard work for many years, the savings of the entire port city for many years, a defeat and surrender, was taken half by the Allied Aide army. Mullen Lannister didn't want to have another seven-nation melee, and someone would come and take away his remaining half.

The survival of his naval fleet is also supported by wealth.

And now, although he will not go bankrupt, he has become a truly poor man compared to before.

Cocoa!

There was a polite knock on the door.

Mullen Lannister cheered up, he couldn't let his family guards and bachelors see his fragile and depressed side.

Mullen lit the huge red candle on the wall and the torch on the wall, shining the study like daylight. The depressed side he had nestled in the dim corner just now disappeared.

"Come in!" Mullen said.

Bachelor Miller came in with Mullen's daughter, who was very cute, like Cersei's daughter Messiah Baratheon.

Behind the two, there was another person wearing a black burqa and covering his face, which reminded Mullen of the attire of the Silent Sisters.

"My lord, I brought you a friend." Bachelor Miller is a cautious and knowledgeable person, and will never bring an insignificant person to the study to disturb him.

Mullen stared at the visitor: "Bachelor, please take Rosamund out first."

Rosamund Lannister is the daughter of Mullen.

"No need, sir." The visitor slowly pulled the black cloth off his face. It was James Lannister.

Mullen was stunned.

James Lannister is back? !

This shocked him too much.

He had just been immersed in the shock of the death of Stannis I, when James Lannister appeared.

"Bachelor Miller, take Rosamund out." Mullen said again, his tone uncertain.

"Yes, my lord."

Miller took Rosamon out, and Mullen could see that Jaime Lannister looked at Rosamon softly. Rosamond looks very much like Messiah Baratheon, which reminds Mullen of the rumors of **** between James and Cersei. Is Messiah Baratheon really the daughter of James and Cersei?

Various characteristics display Yes!

Miller took Rosamon out, and the moment he closed the door gently, Rosamon gave James a lovely smile, and James returned a smile. It seems that James and Rosamon had been in close contact before this.

"Jaime!" Mullen didn't dare to sit, surprised.

There are many Lannister branches in Lannisters, and most of them are in low status. They include Lannisters, Lannitz, Lanter and some more humble Lannisters, most of them have yellow hair and Not blond. Only the blood of Mullen Lannister is closer to the blood of the James Lannister family. Even if they are closer to the Mullen family bloodline, their blonde hair is more straight than curly.

"I'm back." James said, taking Mullen's seat, "Is there any drink? Lord Mullen."

"Yes, of course." Mullen hurriedly went to the wine cabinet next to the desk and took out the wine.

"You're upset, you don't seem to welcome me." James drank a glass of wine, and he handed it to Mullen, asking Mullen to have another glass.

"No, I am glad to see your peace." Mullen said quickly.

"But your expression is not happy, but surprised. Do you think I am not me?"

"No, absolutely not." Mullen said quickly.

"Can I still believe your loyalty to Kaiyan City?" James didn't drink all the wine this time, but took a light sip, slowly put down the glass, and said lightly.

"Of course, the Murren family swore allegiance to Kaiyan City and it will never change."

"Very well, you swore in the name of the Seven Gods, but now, Duke Tywin Lannister is no longer there, and Sir Kevon is also fighting far away in the river."

"My vow will never change, in the name of the old and new gods." Mullen knelt down, making a fist with his right hand and placing it on his left chest.

James is back, he is the Duke of Kaiyan City. Kaivon Lannister was honored by him.

"Well, get up, sir, I believe in your loyalty. Our two families are originally from the same line."

"Yes, Lord Duke." Mullen stood up and stood up.
