Chapter 0478: Seeing the Light of Day Again
Born in the year 290 of Aegon, Rosamon Lannister, daughter of Count Ode, looks exactly like Princess Messira Baratheon.
In another month, Rosamon will be ten years old!
As soon as she arrives in King's Landing, she is greeted by the little devil into the Prime Minister's Tower.
To bring back Princess Messira, who had to replace Dorne, with Rosamon, it would have to do the work of the little girl first. Although Count Odd was reluctant, he had to agree to cooperate with the little devil's 'stand-in' plan.
The little girl happily arrived at the Red Keep in King's Landing, met her father, Count Ode, and was told that the Prime Minister, the King, and the Queen Mother were going to marry her away to Dorne and replace Princess Messira.
In the West, the Lanniport garrison has only 1,000 men, and it is currently the most powerful military force in the West, except for the Magic Mountain. For the other nobles, the maximum number of people left behind in the family castle was two hundreds.
In the West, Rosamon was unable to resist the Magic Mountain and had to obey the orders of the Demon Mountain family, and when she arrived in King's Landing, she found that she was also free to obey any orders of the royal family, or her father and her life would be in danger.
Originally, Rosamon was going to report to the Prime Minister all the business, trade, government and military affairs about the Magic Mountain, but after learning that the royal family's invitation to her to attend His Majesty Joffrey's wedding was fake, and the plan to send her to Dorne in exchange for the return of Princess Messira was true, Rosamon's sense of family identity with the Lannisters suddenly dropped to a minimum.
The Lannister family, compared to the Magic Mountain, is not fundamentally different!
Perhaps out of revenge, or perhaps out of numbness to fate, Rosamon chose to shut up about anything that the Magic Mountain and Jenny were plotting in the West.
Whether it is the Magic Mountain or the Lannister, in the little girl's heart, she is not a good person! It's just that she has no way to resist, and she has no way to get rid of her fate!
In order not to be seen by the Dornees, Rosamon had to wear a scarf every time she went out to cover her little face. If there was a gathering of Dorn, Rosamon could not have appeared.
Rosamon spends her days at King's Landing.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days have passed, and in more than ten days, it will be the 300th year of the Aegon calendar, and no matter how Rosamon prays in her heart, the king's wedding will take place as scheduled, and she herself will be sent to Dorne after the king's wedding.

And in the west, the Magic Mountain led his own legions and more than 6,000 mountain people into the territory of Tabek Hall.
In the distance, the people of the hill tribes saw a tall stone castle, which was majestic, like a huge monster crouching on the flat ground.
As they got closer, they saw that the high walls were covered with moss and grass, and the gate was already abandoned, and it was a huge weed-covered doorway.
The army came to the city, and the weeds and bushes that were one man tall flooded the road into the city.
The eyes of the people of the hill tribes glowed green, and even the castles that had been abandoned for decades were hundreds of times stronger than the small stone houses and small tree houses they lived in.
Even a field overgrown with weeds is a hundred times better than the farming conditions they had to find some soil in the stones to grow wheat and corn.
The Demon Mountain shouted on the Red Smoke Beast: "This castle is called Tabek Hall, this will become the new home of some of you, and the land outside the castle ......" The Demon Mountain waved its hand, including all the abandoned farmland on the hundred-mile-long mountain range and the plain below the mountain, "...... All these mountains and fields are yours. The farmland on the plain outside the castle will be where you grow wheat, corn, potatoes, and cabbage, and graze pigs, cattle, sheep, and horses. “
The warriors and people of the hill tribes looked green.
"Which tribes would like to live here?" asked Magic Mountain.
Swish!
The leaders of all the tribes raised their arms in the air.
"All willing to live in Tarbeck Hall?" said the Magic Mountain, looking back at the high walls behind him. The city walls are dilapidated and collapsed, but the majesty of the past is still there, and with a little repair, the iron-trimmed oak door can be restored to its former glory.
"Well, you will decide in your own meeting that only half of the people and legions will be left here, and the other half will go to the neighboring city of Castermet, a hundred miles away, where the castle is more majestic, with more rooms, and no less farmland and mountains. ”
"Lord Magic Mountain, I'm willing to go to Casterme. The leader of the Scorching Tribe, Ti Mei, said.
Magic Hill said that Casterme's castle was more majestic than Tabek Hall, with more rooms, and Time's heart was immediately itchy.
"I'd like to go to Casterme, my lord. Shaga said.
"Wherever the leader goes, we'll go," Conn said immediately.
Everyone wants to stay in a more majestic castle with more rooms. It was the castle where the great nobles lived in the past, and compared to their palm-sized stone houses, it was the heavenly palace.
"Let's go too!" discussed Zira, the little beauty of the Black Ear Division, with Gonthor, the leader of the Luna.
The Black Ear and the Luna have a good relationship, and the two tribes have always been close allies since their time in the Bright Moon Mountains.
The tribes of the Bright Moon Mountains have multiple factions, and tribes of the same faction prefer to live together.
"Whoever you go, it's up to you to decide, but Castelme might be better suited to the tribes of cavemen, cavemen, black bears, and wolves, as the castle was built underground, a converted from a former mine. ”
"Lord Magic Mountain, we are very willing to go to the castle built underground!" Haggai, the leader of the caveman tribe, immediately raised his hand. The cavemen and warriors cheered.
The Cave Tribe and the Black Bear Tribe followed suit, enthusiastically expressing their willingness to live in a castle built underground.
Magic Mountain said: "Whether it is Castelme or Tabek Hall, there are gold mines, and you people can still mine gold for more than thirty years. We will all live a life of abundance, just like the true aristocracy and the wealthy freemen. ”
Gold?
The people can still work as miners to make money by digging gold mines while farming?!
After receiving an affirmative answer from Lord Magic Mountain, the soldiers and people of the mountain tribe erupted in loud cheers.
There is no doubt that there will be no more brutal battles between their tribes for a good sword and a good helmet. In the future, if they want to fight, they will all be unanimous with each other, and the tribes will not go to war with each other over a bag of flour and a pair of armor.
There are more than 10,000 warriors and people of the hill tribes!
The enthusiasm of these 10,000 people immediately made the Tabek Hall, which had been silent for decades, a warm popularity.
At the sound of the magic mountain, the people of the mountain tribes took out scimitars, wood knives, sickles, hoes, and nail rakes...... Passionately clear the road into the city.
Thousands of people worked together, and in a short time, a straight bluestone avenue was cleared.
The Magic Mountain led his army into the city.
The streets, houses, squares, statues, stables, blacksmiths, ...... of the city The buildings are still the same, but all overgrown with weeds and vines. The walls of many houses have collapsed, but the large outlines and original appearance of each place can be seen.
Demon Mountain led his army to the compound in front of the city's main fortress, and he ordered everyone to work together to clean up every part of the castle in Tarbek Hall.
The Magic Mountain led his own guard regiment and cavalry of nearly 600 men to clean the tower of the main fort, the Earl of Muton led a thousand Muton soldiers to clean the tower, stables, and restaurants, and the hill tribes were responsible for clearing the rest of the place, such as squares, blacksmith shops, streets, walls, rooms, dwellings, gardens, livestock pens, kennels, ...... All of them are taken care of and cleaned......
More than 12,000 people worked together to clean a castle that had been abandoned for nearly 40 years, and the wells and streams that had been buried in the mud were dug up again, and the canals that brought in the mountain streams were also re-cleared, and the clear spring water flowed down the canals to all corners of the city.
Two days later, the Tabek Hall was completely renovated, the garbage, dirt, vines, and leaves in front of and behind the house were all cleaned away, and the streets were swept clean, just like the white face of a little girl.

On the third day, Lady Jenny arrived with two hundred heavily armored cavalry from the Crab Claw Peninsula, along with the young scholar Harry. After half a day of bickering and concessions, in the end, twenty tribesmen's warriors and subjects chose Tabek Hall. Jenny, Bachelor Harry, Magic Mountain, Earl Murton, Murton's Fellowship Scholar Steinbeck...... The leaders, warriors, families, and people of each tribe were registered, and on the map brought by Janie, twenty areas of farmland were roughly divided, and each area corresponded to a tribe.
The dwellings on the Castle Street were also divided into twenty areas, and each tribe lived in one of them.
It took two whole days just to divide the fields according to the map and then divide the housing areas according to the streets in the city.
The 1,300 carts of grain brought by the Magic Mountain, and the 300 carts of grain were distributed to the people of these 20 tribes first, so that every family could have food first.
A few days later, the Magic Mountain entered Casterme with twenty other tribesmen, warriors and people. Lady Jenny, Scholar Steinbeck, and Bachelor Harry were responsible for staying in Tarbek Hall to measure the fields, and then subdivide the fields into households, which took at least a month before and after.
The Devil's Hill and Earl Murton arrived at Casterme with all their warriors. Casterme is a dungeon, and they have a thorny problem: water is standing underground! The city's original drainage system is clogged and needs to be cleaned up.
About forty years ago, the Duke of Tywin was unable to conquer the city of Castelme, so he dug a canal underground and brought in water from the river, flooding the city......
So, more than 4,000 mountain warriors, 3,000 mountain people, more than 1,000 Muton soldiers, and 500 Krigan soldiers, everyone worked together to drain the water first.
In the evening, the Westerling family of Crag Rock brought with them a large number of workers and warriors, numbering more than 2,000 men, led by Reynard Westerling, Sansa Stark, Asaph, the leader of the Clegane Army, Foulmouth, Polliver's wife, Esther, and Esther's grandfather, the old coinsmith...... They arrived with a thousand workers and a thousand warriors to assist the Magic Mountain in clearing Casterme......
Tens of thousands of people cleaned up Casterme. A day later, as buckets of water were scooped out and poured out, Castelme's dungeons began to reveal themselves in a better state of affairs than the Tabek Hall: houses, stables, towers, arenas, gardens, streets, barracks, civilian dwellings...... There are almost no ...... of the ruined stone buildings It's just that the mud and rotting wooden furniture, as well as the bones of livestock, need to be cleaned up for a while......
