Chapter 0899 The courtiers and generals worship the Demon Mountain
Magic Mountain said: "Lord Edmu, I hope that no matter what happens in the future, don't listen to slander, stay calm and reasonable, we are a family. Anything, behind closed doors, is negotiable. ”
"Yes, keep it in mind. Edmure put his right fist on his left chest and said respectfully.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the sound of gold and jade crashing came.
"Your Majesty, good afternoon. The soldiers at the door said.
"Good afternoon, Lady Elenia. ”
Queen Jenny and her sister Elenia arrive at the Shell Room.
When Renard sent Edmure to the Shell Hall, Elenia did not follow, but first went to find her sister Queen Janine, and then went with her sister to the King's exclusive room: the Shell Hall.
Elenia Westerling is the Lady of Riverrun, and although she is increasingly looking down on Edmure, who was bent on marrying him, Harrenhal and Fountain are about the dignity and authority of the Riverlands Lords, and Elenia hopes to help her husband Edmure get back these two rich places. She was not confident in her own persuasion of the Magic Mountain, so she first found her sister Queen Jane, and then came to the Magic Mountain with her sister.
She wasn't sure about something, so she asked her sister Jenny to help her.
This is a good idea, and the two sisters are not too late to come, but it is a pity that the magic mountain is in a good mood when Eddard Stark takes the initiative to surrender, so he no longer cares about the ownership of Nuquan Town with Edmu. And Harrenhal, the Magic Mountain is just a matter of words. If it weren't for Ed's voluntary surrender, Magic Mountain would have sharpened Edmure and made him cautious in his words and deeds in the future, but Duke Ed suddenly took the initiative to announce his surrender, and Magic Mountain would no longer have any concerns with Edmure about Harrenhal and Nuquan Town.
Littlefinger Petyr Berish is a man who can only be used and cannot be trusted, and the Mountain decides to reclaim Harrenhal and give Littlefinger a false position as a valley ward. A person like Littlefinger, if the magic mountain is not there, he is a hidden danger for everyone, and no one can suppress him, he will secretly make trouble.
The mountain was able to make Littlefinger subjugate, firstly by the evidence that Littlefinger had instigated Lysa Tully to poison her husband, Jon Arryn, and secondly by the ferocity of Littlefinger: if Littlefinger was not honestly obedient, the mountain would have cut off his head.
One thing descends one thing, for Little Finger, the fist of the magic mountain that can hammer and burst the steel armor is more effective than the scheming.
Queen Jane and her sister came in, and after greetings, they talked some nonsense, and then Jane got down to business, and asked about Harrenhal.
As soon as Edmure heard this, he knew that his wife had asked Her Majesty the Queen to help him make a speech, which made Edmure feel very useful, and there was no doubt that his wife's heart was still towards him.
Edmure smiled, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has just promised to take Harrenhal back from Petyr Berish, the Littlefinger, and return it to its original owner and return it to the Riverlands. His Majesty the King of Numerical Springs also generously promised to persuade the Earl of Murton to remain loyal to the Tully family. ”
"Oh. Have you come to an agreement? This seems like I'm having a lot of trouble!" said Janine with a smile.
"His Majesty the King is generous and heroic, and refuses to have any problems with me, and, Your Majesty, we are one family. Edmure laughed.
"Your Majesty, without His Majesty the King leading his troops north to kill the Night King, there would be no North, and the people of the Stark North, who have decided to return to the Iron Throne, have sworn allegiance to His Majesty. Eddard Stark said.
Jenny was stunned, and then, surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Lord Ed, you are too polite, you are taking the overall situation into account and refuse to let a country be divided, please accept my salute to you. Queen Jane stood up and saluted Lord Eddard.
Eddard Stark hurriedly returned the salute.
Although Jainne is a queen and her majesty, she does not have a title, and she pays tribute to a duke, and Eddard Stark actually deserves it.
Jane is a noble lady who has spent a lot of money to cultivate since she was a child, and one purpose is to let her daughter marry a big nobleman, so as to restore the glory of the decaying Westerling family with the help of her daughter.
Historically, the House of Westerling has had two queens. When it comes to the inheritance and antiquity of the family's aristocratic status, even the Lannisters in the Westland are inferior.
Everyone was talking happily in the shell hall, and there were voices outside the gate again, listening to all kinds of sounds, there were quite a few people who came this time.
Soon, Gavin Westerling, the lord of Crag Rock, appeared at the gate, flanked by Lady Catelyn Tully from the North, and a large crowd gathered around the two 'in-laws' to the King's Shell Hall.
Lady Caitlyn Tully made eye contact with her husband Eddard, knowing that Eddard had sworn to surrender to the Magic Mountain, but that he still lacked the formal rituals of the royal family.
The surrender of the north to the Magic Mountain, this is not only Ed out of retribution, there is also a very serious problem, that is, because the north and the strange ghosts after the war of various materials, especially Winterfell was burned by the wildfire materials of the Magic Mountain, and the reconstruction of Winterfell cost a lot of wealth and food to its people, and when winter comes, the north will face a very serious problem: lack of food.
Once the Iron Throne is submitted, the North can justifiably ask the Demon Mountain for food support to help them survive the winter that may last for ten years.
House Stark's motto is that winter is coming.
This proverb has been fulfilled, winter has indeed arrived, and in the north, heavy snow has closed the mountains and roads. At the Great Wall, the snow was several feet thick, and the ground was no longer passable. The aborigines and the night watchmen who stayed behind on the Great Wall were all operating underground. And under the Great Wall of Desperation, there is an underground network that extends in all directions. The Mole Village, the closest to the Black Castle on the Great Wall, was built deep underground, with more than half of the buildings going underground. The roofs of the low houses exposed from the ground are only a tiny fraction of them.
The people of Mole Village live underground in the dead of winter, just like moles, which is also the origin of the name of Mole Village.
In the winter, the Stark family needs support, and the people of the north need food and heating assistance, otherwise, the death toll in the north will be very heavy after the winter passes.
Out of consideration for the benevolence of the Magic Mountain, as well as the most severe survival situation facing the North, Eddard Stark, who had no intention of becoming king, convened a meeting of the subjects of the North, at which the people reached a consensus: surrender to the Magic Mountain and return to the rule of the Iron Throne.
And the Magic Mountain, Ben racked his brains and thought of many arguments, to grind hard in the West, and persuade Eddard Stark to surrender. When Ed took the initiative to surrender, this also secretly matched the mind of the magic mountain.
As a result, there was a situation where everyone was happy!
Caitlin Tully first saluted the king and queen as a vassal, and then, as Sansa Stark's mother, made a ceremonial closeness to the Magic Mountain and Jenny as an elder.
So, the shell hall was lively.
Soon, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside, and someone came again.
Riding the horses came four remarkable women: Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons, Arrene Martell, Prince of Dorne, Melisandre, the sexy and foxy Priestess of the Red God, and Arya Stark, the Elder of Destiny from the Black and White House of the Isle of the Gods.
The four women dismounted and entered the shell hall, except for Arya Stark, who stood with her head held high, looking neither humble nor arrogant, and the other three women, in the name of vassals, knelt down on one knee to the Magic Mountain and Queen Jane, and only stood up together after getting the permission of His Majesty the King.
Meet the king on one knee, whether you are a duke or a priest or a monk...... This is the rules and the law. It is said that rules and laws are themselves divine will.
The Mountain rode the dragon to pick up Lord Eddard Stark from the North, and when the dragon flew into Crag Rock, the whole city knew about it. So, the big men from all over the city came to see the king in the shell hall.
The Shell Hall is not very large, and it was built for His Majesty the King to receive his vassals. The nobles of the Western Frontier, the generals of the Cregan barracks, and the courtiers from King's Landing all lined up outside.
Magic Mountain and Janine sat on high positions, receiving visits from waves of courtiers and generals.
Madame Hipper, who had entered through the small side door of the Shell Hall, stood silently behind the ladies of nobles. This is the daughter of a wealthy spice merchant who is despised by the nobles of the West, and it is precisely because of her commoner status as the daughter of a spice merchant that Jenny Westerling has been rejected by the nobles several times, and has also led to Renard Westerling being rejected by the noble women many times, until Renard himself is disheartened and no longer asks people to marry.
The humiliation of the past is vividly remembered.
Even at the engagement between Magic Mountain and Jenny, because she was the daughter of a spice merchant, she was not allowed to enter Castle Rock by Duke Tywin, and could not directly participate in Jenny and Magic Mountain's engagement in Castle Rock.
In this world, the status of nobility is transcendent, above any other status. Even if you are the daughter of a wealthy businessman, you will be collectively looked down upon by the aristocracy.
And now, after the eldest daughter Jenny Westerling became the Seven Kings, her husband was originally known as the Magic Mountain of the Seven Kingdoms. Everywhere he went, wherever he went, Hipperle was most warmly welcomed and flattered by the big nobles and small landowners. The lords and lords near Crag Rock City have also taken the initiative to surrender to the Westerling family, willing to be a dog in Crag Rock City.
All this glory and status comes from her son-in-law, His Majesty King Gregor Crega.
A great lady carefully cultivated by the Westerlings did not disappoint her parents, and she married not only a great nobleman, but also an invincible king.
Mrs. Hippel couldn't have lost how emotional and proud she felt in her heart!
She was in the crowd, watching her daughter and son-in-law who stood tall in the sky, watching the most amazing heroes and the wisest and most resourceful courtiers of the Seven Kingdoms pay homage to the Magic Mountain and Janie, and her people were all soaked in a honey pot. She has experienced this kind of superiority most profoundly, and she will never forget it.
*
In the splendid and prosperous 'Lady Hall', Sansa Stark is slim, slender, with skin like snow on her face, and her expression between her eyebrows and eyes is full of intoxicating joy.
Sansa is beautiful, as if she were a fairy from heaven.
In front of her was Bran Stark in a wheelchair.
"Sister, you're perfect in beauty. Bran was amazed.
"Bran, I accept your compliments. ”
"There's a little bit of Reynard Westerling who doesn't deserve you. Bran laughed.
"Renard is a young hero, with integrity, fighting bravely, and he was very good to me. Sansa said.
Bran smiled slightly, "Sansa, don't defend your husband too much, be careful that he bullies you in the future." ”
"He would never bully me. Sansa laughed, "He's a true man, like a father, and he won't bully me if I only bully him." ”
"Oh, then I'm relieved. ”
"Bran, I'm relieved that Sansa is married to the Westerlings. A voice called in from the window. Standing outside the window was Jon Snow.
"Jon, didn't you go to see His Majesty?"
"There are too many people going now, I'll go later. ”
"Then come in. Sansa laughed.
She is about to get married, and she looks radiant and radiant.
"Good!"
Jon enters, but Bran sees in Jon's eyes a sense of wariness and distance in him.
Bran knew that it was the Blood Raven's plan to 'pit kill' on Dragonstone that had gotten to the hearts of many people, including Jon Targaryen and Daenerys Targaryen.
Jon's good friend Samwell Tully, his close girlfriend red-haired Ygritte, and a dozen of his brothers who enlisted in the army were crushed to death by the collapse of a subsidence caused by a wildfire explosion during Bloodraven's Dragonstone 'Pit Kill' plan.
Bran is Bran of House Stark, but he also has all the memories of the Blood Raven. He knows a lot of things in this world.
"Bran, I'm going to see His Majesty in a moment, will you come with me?"
Bran looked into Jon's eyes, Jon was reluctant to him, but Bran knew Jon wasn't going to hurt him. Jon is a man of integrity and doesn't declare personal vendettas. He's also very friendly, and the fact that the Stark family raised Jon alone makes it impossible for Jon to take revenge on Bran.
"I'm going with you, and I'm going to trouble you to push my wheelchair for me. Jon!"
"Let's go together, and I should go to see His Majesty the King, and my father. Speaking of her father, Sansa was a little emotional, and her big beautiful eyes were slightly misty.
Since escaping King's Landing four years ago, Sansa hasn't had a chance to see her father. And when the two father and daughter meet again, it turns out to be Sansa's marriage.
When Sansa heard that her father was coming, Sansa was the first to go to see him. But Jon told her that His Majesty the King had come with his father, and that there must be a lot of people going to see His Majesty, so it was better to wait until everyone else had seen him, and then go again. Sansa accepts Jon's suggestion.
Jon looked at Bran, he had a lot of words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word in Sansa's presence.
Is this Bran of the Starks, or Brynden Rivers of the Targaryens?
