Chapter 0608: Three Choices for the Magic Mountain
Although Rosso Buren did not say a word and did not answer the words of the knights of House Royce, his arrogance, like Littlefinger, was written on his face and in his eyes.
Rosso looked down on the knight who spoke disrespectfully in front of him, as if he did not bother to answer the knight's words.
This made the Knight of the Royce family look blushed, and the Knight was a branch of the Royce family, named Reynolds Royce. He was the personal guard of the Earl of Jon, and he was skilled in swordsmanship.
Choke!
Knight Reynolds drew his sword: "Sir Rosso Buren, dare to accept my challenge. β
"I don't want to kill you!" Rosso said lightly, as if the knight's life was in his hands.
Littlefinger said, "Count Jon, are you going to deal with the Magic Mountain first, or do you want to deal with me first?" β
Entrusted by the Lady, Littlefinger has the privilege to order the Eagle's Nest guards to kill anyone who 'makes trouble' in the Eagle's Nest. He also had the right to order any nobleman to strike and kill Reynolds.
"Reynolds, put away your sword!" BronzeJon's face turned pale.
Reynolds glared at Littlefinger, who held up the milk glass and smiled at the Reynolds Knight.
Reynolds breathed!
He thrust his sword back into its scabbard.
"Lord Duke, what do you think we should do in the current situation?" said Lynn Cobray, holding a roast rabbit in his hand. His hands tore open the rabbit, and the yellow roasting oil dripped out, and the meat was fragrant.
"I don't know, what the adults say, I'll give orders. Littlefinger tore open the bread and slowly spread the honey, "I know you all hate me and think I should leave the valley, but my lover is here, my children are here, this is my home, where are you going to drive me to?"
For a moment, no one spoke.
The little finger pierced the thin sheet of paper that everyone was holding on to the surface, so that everyone was face to face.
"You don't welcome me, although I haven't done anything wrong, well, the matter of the Magic Mountain now, whether it is war or peace, negotiation or surrender, you have the final say, any major affairs in the valley in the future, you have the final say, you say, I will do it." Littlefinger shrugged his shoulders, "As long as the adults don't kick me out of this house, I'm grateful." β
Bronze Yorn and the others had thought of countless countermeasures, but Littlefinger's words disintegrated their strategy.
What do they say, Littlefinger does what he does, and the confrontation is gone all of a sudden, but is it really so? Could this be a trap for Littlefinger?
"My lord, I want to be the chief envoy in the negotiation with the Magic Mountain. Bronze Jon said, seemingly commandingly.
"I agree. Littlefinger shoved the honey-coated bread into his mouth and chewed it for a while before he continued, "If the other nobles have no opinion, then, Lord Count Jon, you are the mastermind of the peace talks with the Magic Mountain." β
Bronze Jon thought that it would be difficult to win the peace talks, and he thought that Littlefinger must be eager to make a meritorious service in the valley and would steal this errand from him, however, Littlefinger had no intention of competing for any credit.
"Your Excellency. This was the first time Bronze Jon had addressed Littlefinger to Lord Duke, "After breakfast, let's have a meeting." β
"Yes, Lord Count. Littlefinger raised his knife and fork and motioned for Bronze Jon to sit down and eat first.
Bronze Jon felt awkward.
He's an earl, and Littlefinger is a duke, he's a vassal, and Littlefinger is the temporary guardian of the valley, but Littlefinger says to him, 'Yes, Lord Earl,' which is ironic no matter how you listen to it. Or a warning, or even a hidden sign of death.
Bronze Jon looked at Littlefinger, Littlefinger's eyes and expression looked so sincere, and there was not the slightest hint of threat.
Littlefinger likes to play with his tongue, and everyone knows this, but he still makes the nobles feel strange when he speaks like this. Perhaps, the nobles really went too far, and when you think about it, Littlefinger really didn't do anything bad to them.
All the conflicts between everyone and Littlefinger started when Lyza Tully announced that she was going to marry Littlefinger!
Little Finger looked at the strange expressions of the nobles, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have eaten enough, you have been on the mountain road all night, drink a bowl of bacon soup." - Lord Yorne, I have sent the raven to the Magic Mountain yesterday, and ask him to give us two days before replying to him, so Miss Yasina Royce is safe now, but we must reply to the Magic Mountain today, whether it is war or surrender, and negotiation, we must send the raven in time, otherwise Miss Yasina Royce may be in danger of her life. β
Jon Royce maintained his arrogance and dignity: "Yes, Lord Duke. He replied stiffly.
What Littlefinger had done yesterday was proper and correct, and even for the sake of Athena Royce, Count Jon did not give Littlefinger a verbal courtesy.
After the meal, the hall of the Moon Gate was crowded with nobles, and the members of the Alliance of the Righteous of Bronze Jonn were all in Eagle's Nest except for Earl Houghton Redford, who hurried back to the Red Base.
This is also thanks to Littlefinger, and yesterday it was he who persuaded everyone to stay and wait for the Bronze Earl of JΓΆrne to come back and discuss countermeasures.
Suddenly, everyone noticed that Littlefinger was sitting on the throne of Lady Lysa Tully.
Directly west of the Moon Gate Hall is a high platform with a throne on it, a symbol of the power that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Arryn family.
Mrs. Lysa Tully and Duke Robert still did not appear, and the mother and son also got up late yesterday, but they ate with everyone at noon and evening, and were in good spirits.
Soon, the nobles came to an agreement, with Count Jonn Royce of Bronze as the main envoy, Countess Weywood as the deputy, and an apprentice from the Eagle's Nest Bachelor to negotiate with the Magic Mountain and pass on the letter of submission from Duke Robert.
Littlefinger and Maester entered the main fort tower through the spiral staircase, one in front of the other.
"My lord, I drank the dream wine for my wife last night. β
"What about Duke Robert?"
"I drank a little bit too to help him sleep. β
"Well done. Little Finger said, "Madame is obese, in poor health, and sleeps poorly, so add a little more dream wine every day before going to bed." β
"Yes, Lord Duke. β
The two came to the bachelor's room, and the bachelor took out a pen and paper, waved his little finger, and then stamped the duke's seal. The bachelor brought red wax, and the little finger was dissolved with a candle, dripping little by little on the seal of the envelope.
Sealed letter from the original to the extreme!
"My lord, seal it now, and don't show Count Royce, I'm afraid he will lose his temper again. β
"Seal it first, and when he gets to the hall he wants to see it, let him see it, and then reseal it. Littlefinger smiled.
"Yes, sir. β
It is disrespectful, disrespectful, disrespectful, and disrespectful for a vassal to insist on reading the letter that the Guardian of the Gorge has already sealed, and these small things will weaken the authoritative image of Bronze Jon, and make most nobles feel that Bronze Jonn is too authoritarian.
This is good for Littlefinger, not good for Bronze Jon's reputation and family glory.
After all, it is a big taboo to commit the following crimes! Every nobleman in the hall is a lord and a vassal. As lords, they all know that anyone who offends a lord will be punished, and anyone who betrays a lord is a capital offense!
Littlefinger is thoughtful, and in every little thing, he weakens and destroys the image, honor, and authority of Bronze Jon. There are hundreds of nobles in the valley, and the Alliance of the Righteous of Bronze Jonn only unites eight powerful families. Those who remain silent and wait and see are the majority.
In the hall of the Moon Gate, Bronze Jon frowned, his hand clutching the letter that the Bachelor had given him, which had been sealed in wax.
"Lord Duke, I think it's necessary for me to read the contents of the letter first. β
"Lord Count, this is Duke Robert's letter of submission, I have read it to Lord Robert and Madame Lysa, and they agree, and the Master and I dare to seal it. β
"I'd like to see it first. "It's not that Bronze JΓΆrn doesn't distrust Duke Robert and Lady Lysa, he can't trust Littlefinger.
Littlefinger is treacherous and cunning, and he has a lot of eyes, and he doesn't want to send a severed letter.
"Your Excellency, you want to open the letter of your lord, it's not right!" said a nobleman in the crowd. He spoke for the majority.
Bronze Jonn is too rude.
"Since Lord Earl insists on seeing it, let's take it apart. Littlefinger showed generosity, and he motioned for the Master to take the letter, tore open the envelope, and showed it to Bronze Jon.
Littlefinger looked at Bronze Jon with a narrow smile on his face.
The Earl of Jon was stupid, and if he wanted to read the letter in private, he would use the flame of a candle to bake the soft wax seal through the envelope little by little, and gently open it with a knife along the seal, and then take it out, and then seal it back after reading it, and no one would know.
But he openly asked to read the letter in the hall of the moon gate, which was really stupid. This letter represents the authority of the Arryn family, not the authority of Littlefinger.
Most of the nobles in the valley are loyal to the Arryn family.
In the midst of some people's arguments, the maester had already tore open the envelope and handed the letter to Bronze Jon's hand, much to the displeasure of many nobles with Bronze Jon. Someone cursed in a low voice.
After reading the letter, Bronze Jon nodded to Countess Weywood, and exchanged glances with Knight Templeton: "Lord Bachelor, please re-seal it once." β
Dealing with the Magic Mountain, if this letter has language that angers the Magic Mountain, this team of envoys will be in danger of their lives. Littlefinger was not to be trusted, and Bronze Jon's caution was appropriate, but the side effects were also obvious, and some of the nobles in the Moongate Hall clearly expressed their displeasure with him.
However, Bronze Jon had already established a secret 'Alliance of the Righteous', and six of the eight most powerful families in the Valley had joined his alliance, so he naturally did not pay attention to the 'sound of mosquitoes and flies' of the minor nobles.
With little finger on one side and magic mountain on the other, caution is a must!
Hundreds of miles away, in the city of Ruest, Miss Yasina Royce's boudoir.
Yasina, who was standing from the window and looking out, heard footsteps, and the sound of heavy footsteps came to the door, as if an elephant was coming.
The door was shut, and the maid added a latch.
When Yasina turned around, she saw that the door began to bulge inward, and the latch clicked inward, and soon the door and the latch were violently bulging inward, and with a bang, the latch broke in the center, and a large hole was broken in the door.
At the door stood the Magic Mountain, his head higher than the door frame, his body wider than the doorway, he was a terrifying giant.
The maid had already hid behind Miss Athena Royce, she was supposed to protect her, but her subconscious dodging controlled her, she didn't know that she was hiding behind Miss and using Miss as a shield.
The maid was terrified.
Moshan bowed his head, turned sideways, and walked into Miss Yasina's boudoir. Yasina heard her heart pounding, her breath was hot, and her whole body was hot, as if she were in a stove.
"Miss Yasina, don't be afraid. "Have you heard a lot about my bullies?"
"Yes, sir. Miss Athena was surprised to hear the composure in her voice.
Yes, she was extremely scared, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was very calm.
This surprised her!
"Some of these rumors are very distorted and deliberately spread by others, but some of them are true, I am not a good person and like to force people to do things they are not willing to do......" Magic Mountain paused to see Miss Yasina Royce's reaction.
"What do you want to do? If you want to humiliate me, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself. β
"Don't commit suicide, miss, after committing suicide, you will be even more innocent, you don't want your family and yourself to be ashamed, are you willing to listen to my advice first?"
Yasina felt her hot body begin to grow cold: "My lord, all the money and food in Rune City belong to you, I also ask all my people to obey you, and I also ordered the soldiers to lay down their weapons, I have done everything you asked, please let me go." β
"I'm not a good person, Ayaina, and I can't let you go. But I will give you three choices: the first choice, there are many women's homes in King's Landing, and I will sell you to the women's houses in King's Landing, and you and I will have nothing to do with each other from now on, are you willing?"
Yasina Royce felt that her lips were bitter and her mouth was dry. She was so humiliated that she couldn't speak, and she felt like she was shaking her head, and it was hard.
"No, well, there are camp prostitutes in my army, you can be a camp prostitute in my barracks. This is the second option, and if you want, I won't talk about the third option. β
"No!" said Yasina resolutely at the sound of her own voice.
"If you don't go to King's Landing's women's house, and don't become a prostitute, then you have no choice, Miss Acena, I have a righteous son, named Langdon Garr, the young general who caught you outside the West Gate and saved you from the humiliation of the warriors of the Crab Claw Peninsula, you must marry him, be his wife, and I will arrange a formal wedding for you, all according to the status of the countess, in the Seven Star Sanctuary, and ask the monk to come and witness the marriage. β
"No!" Yasina heard her refusal, her voice full of despair.
"Okay, then let's be a prostitute. Moshan stretched out his hand and grabbed Yasina's shoulder, lifted it gently, and strode out of the boudoir, "I'll take you to the chief of the camp now, tonight, outside your tent, I bet it will definitely be crowded with my soldiers, and you will make a lot of money, Miss Yasina." You'll be the number one prostitute. β
Yasina was distraught: "No, my lord, I am willing to marry General Langdon Garr." She heard herself shouting, her voice sharp and high-pitched.
Moshan stopped: "Miss, are you sure? I need you to be willing, I don't want to force your choice." β
"Yes, my lord, I willingly marry General Langdon Garr, I beseech you. β
"Landon Gal is my adopted son, his father was captain of the HMS Warhammer, who died for me in the Battle of the Blackwater, he is now my child, and if you are willing to marry him, then you are my daughter. The Magic Mountain gently lowered Miss Yasina Royce to the ground, "Yasina, call me father. β
"Yes, Father, I'm grateful!" said Yasina Royce as she heard her voice crying.
