Asha isn't just fooling.

She is the only daughter of Baron Greyjoy, the pearl of the seas and the princess of the Iron Isles. She was proud and proud of who she was, until Robert Baratheon led the Seven Nations army into Pike, killing her two brothers and taking her only brother with her, that she realized that she was nothing more than a princess of a bunch of unsuccessful pirates.

From then on, the dream of leading the Iron Islands out of the old path of "looting or starving and poverty" to prosperity and prosperity took root in her heart. Although it was not as great and selfless as it claimed to Egger, he was ready to give everything for it...... But if one day, there is an irreconcilable conflict between the prestige of the family, personal interests, and the future of the Iron Islands, and it is difficult to balance public and private interests, she will definitely abandon the former and voluntarily become a victim of that change.

However, when her annoying uncle Euron returned to the Iron Islands to murder her father and seize the throne of the Sea Stone, she was already unsure of what to do when the land-giving army, led by Egger, unexpectedly intervened in the war and captured Asha.

Iger defeated and captured her, but in a sense, more like freeing her.

However, fate is sometimes so strange: reality cruelly closes the door she originally wanted to go through, but opens a window for her that she has never noticed before, and allows her to see another possibility.

......

When she was first transferred to Crown Town by the Starks, Egg, who had not yet become commander-in-chief, hurriedly ordered that she be given a minimum of humane treatment and dignity, and then completely forgot about her existence as if ignoring her existence. After several unsuccessful attempts to attract attention and change her situation, she gradually began to accept her fate and accept the arrangement, ready to be bored here for the rest of her life...... But after calming down like ashes, she was able to look at her surroundings from a new perspective of a visitor, and quickly discovered something surprising to her in this rapidly developing land-giving capital.

The first was the vigor of the stronghold, which had never been heard of before—not only in terms of its new, sturdy, or astonishing rate of expansion, but also in the discipline, vigor, or positivity of the Night's Watch, logistical soldiers, and industrial employees stationed there, which Asha had never seen anywhere else in Westeros before. Here, every officer, soldier, and even handyman has a unique temperament that is inexplicable, uncomfortable, but not annoying......

Asha's level of education is only able to read and write, and she doesn't know how to describe it, but if she had to describe it, it is probably a kind of "hope" that everyone cherishes what they have now, and at the same time believes that tomorrow will be better, and the people of Iron Island are drunk today and drunk tomorrow, and they will always worry about where the next meal will be.

At first, she reluctantly explained to herself that the elite night watchman, with a stable salary and good logistics, might or may have a very different look from the rabble. This speculation is not far from the truth: the employees and soldiers of the industrial park brought by Iger to the land grant are indeed capable and reliable people. But the more new discoveries that followed, but again and again Asha fell into similar or even deeper confusion.

In less than a year after she was transferred to the land grant, Houguan Town quickly grew from a small transit station and temporary stronghold to a sturdy semi-permanent fortress like crazy, and then soon further turned into a medium-sized settlement centered on the castle, and in this way, it was built non-stop at a visible and scalp-numbing speed into a military town with two layers, separated from several areas, integrating defense, residence, and industrial production!

In just two years, Egger has built a rare thing that the latter has never had in thousands of years, with less than half the population of the Iron Islands, in a barren land that was once no man's land: a real, thriving town!

If Houguan Town was only built quickly, and it was not difficult to do it by burning money and piling up manpower, then the next deeper discovery was that she was completely shocked: the land-donors who gathered from all directions and settled down here soon began to have the kind of breath that could only be felt by the residents of the inner fort at first!

Order is maintained through strict law enforcement and severe punishment, but how did this unreasonable sense of hope come about?

The land-givers living in the outer city of Houguan Town ate and dressed no more upscale and abundant than ordinary Iron Island residents, and they inevitably complained about how meager the wages were, how tiring the work was, how impersonal the guards and overseers were, and how the Night's Watch officials were like slaves to exploit the value of their labor...... But no matter what they say, every day when the sun rises, disgruntled and indignant people still crowd outside the inner fort gates in large numbers and spirits, waiting for official assignments and tasks. From the white-headed old man to the ten-year-old child, everyone's eyes burned with satisfaction with the status quo and anticipation for tomorrow, rather than the confusion and cynical ferocity that are common in the eyes of the iron people!

Is it because the land-givers are not demanding for the rest of their lives under the threat of strange spirits, or is there something that Asha can't yet understand, quietly operating in places she can't see, creating such a puzzling but infinitely longing for a strong and vibrant social state?

Asha didn't know, but one miracle after another made her gradually have such an inertial impression: Egger West, the man in black who broke the neutrality of the night watch and did things by any means, is hateful and hateful, but he does have a lot of abilities that ordinary people do not have, and there are infinite possibilities hidden in him!

And it was this realization that made her make almost no hesitation make a judgment in her heart after hearing that Iger had bowed her allegiance to Daenerys in public and swore to return the Iron Throne to the Queen: this guy will definitely win!

She didn't know about the artillery, she didn't think about the power of the dragon, and she didn't know Egger's strategic plan, but she had a vague hunch that this damn night watchman would be the winner in the end!

His plan has been ruined, but this bastard, who will probably have the last laugh, must know the way and have the ability to realize his dream and lead Tetsumin to a better tomorrow. For her own ideals that are on the verge of being shattered, and for the people she cares about, all Asha has to do now is to do everything she can - jump on Egger's train halfway.

As long as you can reach the finish line, even if you hold the axle under the car, you will not hesitate!

＊＊＊

Unflinching, staring into Egger's eyes, Asha gave her answer slowly, "I want you to support me in my fight against my uncle and save my people from the path where he leads—death and defeat ahead!"

The candle flame swayed slightly under the woman's clear and powerful words, and the projections of the two on the wall also swayed back and forth. This answer did not surprise Egger at all, he chuckled, his expression unchanged, "None of us are bards, why should we talk so literary?" Miss Asha said bluntly—wouldn't you like the Night's Watch to send troops to retake the Iron Islands for you?"

"No, that's not all, I want you to help guide me to rule and build the Iron Islands into ...... A thriving place like Houguan Town. ”

Egg pursed his lips and re-stared at Asha's resolute expression, his smile slowly changing from a patterned mask to a playful one.

He quickly figured out why the woman on the other side would make such a request - no matter how free a prisoner is, he is a prisoner after all, Asha is not the management of the land grant, and the channels and ways to obtain information are quite limited. She only saw that Houguan Town was prosperous, prosperous, and thriving under her rule, but she could not see the red of the whole page of the Night's Watchman's financial statements.

Being able to rely on external loans and assistance to make the land grant look like is indeed the ability and credit of the middle and high-level people who are leading the land grant, but in the final analysis, without the blood transfusion of the night watch industry and other external forces, the gods will not be able to give the land a new look.

The Night's Watch is now in debt, and if it weren't for Egger's big plans, he, the Night's Watch's Commander-in-Chief, would most likely have to spend the rest of his life struggling to pay off his debts. Speaking of which, the mountains of various money, material and personal debts are still one of the driving forces that push him to grit his teeth and move forward.

Up and down the Seven Kingdoms, inside and outside the continent, the well-informed forces that also have the spare strength to lend a helping hand are willing to help the Night's Watch, because once the strange spirits break through the Great Wall and go south, no one will be pleased. But it's one thing to donate and lend money to strengthen the shield that protects humanity, but to spend money and help a group of pirates get rich and become well-off...... What saint would do this?

He didn't do it anyway!

Probably understanding what Iger was thinking, Asha immediately threw out her conditions and sincerity after making the final request: "Swear to the Drowning God, after the deed is completed, I will lead the Iron People to become the most loyal vassal and follower of the Night's Watch Legion and the Queen, until death!"

This is most likely true, but in a hurry to become the queen's supporter, is Westeros still few? strong as a river, strong, good-looking, and absolutely sincere, Iger has to persuade the queen to smash it and get it into the bag, a notorious little broken archipelago, and you have to win it first to support the new ruler before you can get its support, who is rare?

The deal mentioned by Asha is not outrageous or excessive in the context of feudalism, and it can even be called completely fair.

But what is Iger going to do?

Help the Queen break the wheels of history!

Even though one wheel breaks and the other rolls out, it's a shame that there is no place for the Greyjoy family, or the Iron Islands, in the new world that Iger has planned for the Queen!

......

Iger could find a hundred reasons to reject Asha, but most of them would inevitably fall into endless wrangling. So, he decided to take the unassailable solution: declare that he couldn't help.

No matter how lofty your ideals may be, but the Night's Watch and the Strangers have been so badly injured that they really can't help, what reason can Asha find to continue pestering?

"Miss Asha......"

As soon as she saw the contempt and confidence in the corners of Egg's mouth, Asha knew that she would get a negative answer, so she poured her remaining chips onto the table before Iger could say the next sentence: "And I can also be the commander-in-chief...... The most intimate and worry-free companion of the individual. I will swear that I will never marry, that I will keep myself clean, that I will not approach other members of the opposite sex, that I will come and go as soon as you are called, and that I will fulfill all my wife's duties and duties without any name or commitment, and that I will keep it strictly confidential and will not trouble you...... If you want, I can even advance this one tonight!"

What is going on, trying to exchange personal "exclusive rights to mate" in exchange for military and political support? Egger only smiled contemptuously, but as Asha stood up from his chair and resolutely reached to his waist to remove the straps from his tight leather jacket, he completely cooled down.

"Stop!" Iger squinted and slapped the table, "I said, stop!!"

Asha has the ability to attract men, not to mention anything else, as far as she entered this room tonight, Egger has been listening carefully to her flickering, while admiring and looking at her healthy Miaoman figure and unique temperament that is very different from ordinary women......

However, it is one thing to appreciate the beauty of women, and quite another to further develop intimacy.

Egger was never a cultivator or a defender, he was happy to enjoy the process of having fun with the opposite sex and reaching the end of great harmony in life, and he never disdained to talk about such a thing as "love". Generally speaking, he is a very open person, and in terms of literature and art, his acceptance of this matter is much higher than the average level of the modern society before the crossing.

But that doesn't mean he's inhibited.

Sex can be an antidote and decompression of a boring life, or it can be a bond or lubricant between him and subordinates, friends and even partnerships of the opposite sex, or even a means to simply maintain or enhance the favorability of a specific person and steadily expand his interpersonal network...... But it must not be a reward or reward paid to him!

In Egger's worldview, the strong don't limit themselves – in the eyes of opponents, this is called unscrupulous. However, only the pathetic people who cannot achieve great things will not have even a minimum of self-control. Asha put forward this condition, no matter what she actually thought, but Iger just felt that the other party subconsciously regarded himself as an ordinary man who can think with his brain and his lower body, a weak person who can be controlled!

Asha, touching his scales with something he liked.
