Queen Alessa is recognized as a beauty when she was a child, her father is the powerful 'Lord of the Tides' Isin Valerian, and her mother is Madame Alera of the Marseille family, who is also a great beauty.

The Valerian family is ancient, noble, and wealthy, and their grandfather was a close old friend of Aegon the "Dragon King" and his two queens.

The first Kingsguard and the Lord of the Seas were both from the Valerian family, and from the founding of the Conqueror, the position of Lord of the Sea was held only by Valerians.

Rollin and the fat bishop walked down the corridor to Meggor Tower, listening to the fat bishop talk about some of the recent events in King's Landing.

"It seems that the Admiral is hereditary by the Valerian family," Rollin teased.

"Not only the Minister of the Sea, but also the 'Admiral' is also the Valerian family." , The fat bishop's face was a little envious, "Westeros' 'Big Three' is not talking about playing. ”

Fat Bishop said slowly:

"After the wedding of the Queen Mother Regent and the Prime Minister was announced, the elder brother of the Queen Mother, the current 'Lord of the Tides', the Queen Mother, entered Blackwater Harbor with the strongest naval fleet in the world, and he wanted to hold a mock naval battle for his sister's marriage."

Rollin was a little smacked, and the power and military power of this family were a bit perverted.

The fat bishop looked at Luo Lin's stunned face and smiled, "The power of the Queen Mother's family is not ordinary, and Duke Luojia's Baratheon family is also not bad.

Roga's grandfather, Auris, the illegitimate half-brother of Aegon the Conqueror and Aegon's most trusted general, killed the last Durendon – "The Proud" Argila – and married Yarjla's daughter.

Because of this, Duke Roga boasts that he has both the blood of a true dragon flowing in his veins and the ancient heritage of the Storm King.

Now serving as the Hand of the King and the Guardians of the Realm, the Baratheon family has also ascended to the ranks of super-first-tier nobles. ”

"The combination of these two super nobles, no wonder it is so lively, I heard that the Sea King of Braavos, the Maharaja of Telosi, and the twenty-two governors of Pantos have all come to the ceremony in person." Rollin recounted what he had heard.

The fat bishop nodded and said in a low voice:

"So after the marriage contract between Duke Roga and Queen Mother Alesa was made public, related rumors became even more popular...... After all, shouldn't the Queen Mother's husband be the king? ”

"No wonder Jaehaerys is adamantly opposed to the two getting married." Rollin muttered.

The fat bishop nodded:

"Roga's move is a bit transgressive, Jaehaerys has said more than once that Roga's marriage to the Queen Mother is more out of a desire for power and status, rather than true feelings."

"Then we asked Jae-Erys to ask for a fief, is it because of this contradiction?" Luo Lin was a little puzzled, "The marriage between the Queen Mother and Luo Jia is a foregone conclusion. ”

"Since I dare to promise you, I am naturally quite sure."

Rollin looked serious, wanting to hear the fat bishop's idea.

The fat bishop smirked: "It's still a marriage too, but it's Jaehaerys's marriage!" ”

"Or marriage?" Rollin didn't understand.

"Jaehaerys is of marriageable age, and the king has no heirs, which would make the country unstable. I got the news that the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister had arranged a blind date for Jaehaerys, targeting the daughter of Maharaja Telosi. ”

"Roga has always wanted to extend the Iron Throne's influence to the continent of Essos on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and this matter is what he has done."

Fat bishop's face, you know what I mean, right?

"Isn't our family all brother and sister or sister and brother married?" Rollin exclaimed.

For centuries, the Targaryens had practiced brother-sister marriage, and Alysanne was only two years younger than Jaehaerys, and the two children had always been close and affectionate. Maybe the two have been looking forward to getting married since they were young, just like the older brother Aegon and the older sister Rhaenia.

Luo Lin suddenly realized, "Is this what the Queen Mother means?" ”

"The Queen Regent remembers the storm of church rebellion that sparked when her son Aegon and daughter Rhaenenya announced their marriage is still fresh and she has said to me more than once: 'We cannot repeat the mistakes of the past.' ”

Rollin instantly understood the point, after the death of her husband King Innis, Queen Alesha witnessed too many terrible things, prompting her to change her mind.

"Our 'chips' are—" Rollin muttered to himself.

"Support the union of Jaehaerys and his sister." The fat bishop said, "Now that he is isolated, and I am the head of the new sect of the church, I have this weight. ”

Hearing this, Luo Lin solemnly bowed to the fat bishop, "The support of the godfather, Luo Lin will remember it." ”

For Luo Lin, the godson, the fat bishop can be said to have done his best to dig out his heart and lungs, and he deserves Luo Lin's respect.

The fat bishop helped Luo Lin up and said in a low voice:

"The relationship between you and me, it doesn't have to be like this, it's enough for you to have this heart." He looked up, "Megar has arrived, Jaehaerys is waiting for us in the study, let's go up." ”

Rollin nodded yes.

Knock knock! ~

"Please come in." Jaehaerys' voice came.

"Your Majesty!"

The fat bishop bowed his head and saluted

Jaehaerys frowned slightly at the sight of Rollin.

The fat bishop observed his words and immediately said, "Your Majesty, what I ask for is also related to Lorraine. ”

Jaehaerys shook his head slightly and said in a low voice:

"The Queen Mother is worried that there are still remnants of the Order's armed remnants in the kingdom, does the archbishop have any good solution?"

Jaehaerys worries that if he marries his sister, the armed remnants of the Order will have another problem. If the siege of the Chicken Hall is staged again, it will be troublesome.

Rhaeneny's consanguineous marriage to Prince Aegon led to a decade-long church rebellion that ended the war, and even Jaehaerys had to think twice if he really wanted to share a bed with his sister.

"Now that the church is not armed, the chance of rebellion is very small, even if there are a few rebels, I can restrain them."

After the fat bishop finished talking about the church, he continued:

"The problem you face is not in the church, but in the will of the Queen Regent and the Prime Minister. Princess Alyssan has just come to her first period, and the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister are already looking for a suitable candidate for the princess. ”

Luo Lin praised it in his heart when he heard this, and the last sentence was simply a critical hit.

Jaehaerys knew in his heart that if he wanted to marry his sister in peace, he couldn't get this fat man done. If he goes to his mother's house to blow the wind and light the fire, it is possible that his marriage with his sister will fall apart directly.

In the past, the entanglement of the dynasty was not settled, and today the brother and sister are intermarried, and the devout believers must see it as a provocation, and it must be suppressed and appeased by the upper echelons within the church.

The key point of everything is tied to this person. An exchange of political interests? Jaehaerys laughed at himself in his heart.

Jaehaerys said coldly:

"The archbishop will say what you want."

The fat bishop was not polite, and immediately spoke:

"I have three points, and I hope Your Majesty can support and agree."

Jaehaerys stared at him, listening.

"First: I hope that Your Majesty will support me as the next archbishop." The fat bishop's tone was light.

"No problem, let's talk about the next one."

"Second: I hope to move the general church of the church to King's Landing during the term of office of the archbishop."

Jaehaerys was startled, and then said in a harmonious voice, "No problem." ”

The move of the main church to King's Landing would have greatly enhanced the royal power, and even if the fat bishop had not brought it up here, he would have agreed with it. And the close connection between Hightower and the church has long been unhappy with him.

"Third..."

Rollin knew in his heart that his business had arrived.

"I hope Your Majesty can grant Rollin a fief."

Jaehaerys raised his eyebrows and looked at Rollin, who had been standing obediently next to the fat bishop.

Luo Lin's face was calm, "I hope Your Majesty will give me an island in the Gorge Sea." ”

Of course, Jaehaerys understood the importance of the islands between the fjords, and he frowned and said secretly: Rollin's appetite is not small. Then it unfolded again.

"Since you want an island in the sea, then you can choose one yourself." Jaehaerys took a map from the bookshelf and said to Rollin.

Rollin, this doesn't look like your style, so generous?

Walking up to take a look, Luo Lin's face sank, and he instantly understood that the islands between the gorges and the sea were occupied by their owners.

Crab Island: The Saitiga Family

Tidehead Island: The Valerian Family

Tass Island: The Tass family

.......

Because of their geographical advantages, these families are all fat, and their strength is in the forefront of the Seven Kingdoms. Needless to say, the Valerian family inside, the Setiga family is also from the Valyrian Fortress of Liberty in the Eastern Continent, which is also ancient, noble, and powerful, and the strength of other families is not much different.

Anyway, he Rollin can't afford to provoke any of them.

Rollin touched his chin, looked at the map and pondered for a moment, and found something interesting. Not far from Harrenhal, and the land of the ancient kings of rivers and hills, it is located in an important place and is not occupied by anyone.

Rollin pointed on the map: "I want it!" ”
