Chapter 0520 The Testament of the First King
"Sansa is a simple child. Will said.
"Yes, she's innocent, but she's not a child anymore. If you can marry her, you will gain the loyalty of the people of the North. Think about it, the legions of the Great Wall of Desperation plus the northern border will form the most powerful force, and marriage will do no harm. In this way, the other six countries dare not underestimate it, and you have the confidence to lead the Seventh ** Regiment. ”
"I have already thought of a way to unite the forces of the four nations without having to go through marriage. Will said lightly.
"Which four countries?"
"North, west, valley, riverland. ”
"How to unify the forces of the four countries?"
"Ghouls!"
"I don't understand your plans. ”
"You'll understand. ”
"Will you, tell me about your plans?"
"Good!"
Half an hour later, Melisandre learned about Will's full plan.
"You can only conquer Shikoku in this way, but it's not Shikoku, it's only the valley and the west. The North and the Riverlands are family, and as for the Valley......" Will could see Melisandre swallow back what she was about to say, "Lady Lyza of the Vale has succumbed, and so has the West. ”
"Neither the West nor the Vale have yielded, and even if I go to the West and the Vale, the nobles will not yield to me. They will be like Mrs. Caitlin, even if they are respectful on the surface, they will still look down on me in their bones. ”
"But if you marry Sansa, it's different. ”
"I can't marry Sansa. ”
"You can!"
"Neither Caitlyn nor Eddard Stark would agree, and it would have caused us to be at odds with each other. ”
"They'll agree. ”
"What do you see in your flames?" said Will, skeptically.
"They'll agree, Lord Will. Melisandre insisted. Her answer was tantamount to no answer, and Will wanted to know about the vision of the flames, which she avoided talking about.
"Sansa believes in the Red God?"
"No, she's from the North, and I'm not going to change her faith, it's a mistake you warned me about. I just have a little magic to make her fall in love. ”
"You're going to make Lady Catelyn believe in the Red God?"
"I'm not going to forcibly change anyone's faith again, and if they want to believe in the Red God, I hope it's because the Red God has answered their prayers, not because of the hard push of my magical powers. ”
A few days later, Will and Robb headed south with the ghoul prison van.
In the army of troops heading south, there was a woman in a red robe with a hood covering her face, and no one could see her face clearly from under the hood.
But Lord Will respected her and called her Mrs. Merry.
Lady Merry was originally Sansa Stark's handmaiden, but she was a powerful prophet who came to Winterfell to await Lord Will's arrival.
She had come to follow Lord Will from the Narrow Sea Exotics, and her goal was to fight the Strangers together with Lord Will in the dead of winter.
Before Will and Robb left Winterfell with fifteen hundred cavalry heading south, the table hall of Dragonstone Castle on Dragonstone Island was packed.
Dragonstone Island is also known as Princely Island because it has historically been the sole fief of the Targaryen heir to the throne.
Dragonstone was also a fief of Stannis I and was where Princess Shireen grew up.
Ed Stark was seated by Princess Shireen, and then he took out the wax-sealed will of Stannis I and handed it to the intrepid Lord Barristan Sermy.
Barristan Sermi was the Guardian of the Guard, and he was the most powerful minister in checking the authenticity of the wax seal of the will.
After Barristan proved that it was correct, and after swearing to the gods of old and new with his honor, he respectfully handed back the will of Stannis I to Eddard Stark.
Stannis's will was written in accordance with the law, which required the personal witness of at least two royal ministers, of whom Barristan Sermi was one of the witnesses, and the other was the Grand Master of Melisandre at the time.
This will was also given to Bran Stark, the designee of the will, at the last minute.
Eddard Stark then handed the will to Sir Ronald Clinton, Secretary of State for the Sea and Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy.
In the event that the Imperial Ministers are unable to gather, as long as three Imperial Ministers are present at the same time, the King's order can be activated. The king's will is also a form of command.
Eddard Stark is the eternal Hand of the King, and with the presence of the Kingsguard Captain Barristan Sermi and the Sea Secretary Sir Ronald Clinton, all three of the Royal Ministers present, the requirements for opening the King's will have been fulfilled according to the law.
The contents of this program and the will are legal from the moment they are opened.
Although the wax seal said that it was a will for Branstark, Braunstark was soft-spoken, and he gave his father Eddard Stark the honor of breaking Stannis I's will.
As the eternal Hand of the King of the Seven Kingdoms, Eddard Stark is indeed the best person to open a will.
Ed Stark regretted that the Minister of Justice, Allister Florent, and the Onion Earl Seaworth were not present.
Sir Ronald Clinton carefully examined the wax seal of the will and the seal of the king, he nodded, and said: "In the name of the seven gods, in the name of all the old gods, in the name of the Andals, the Loynars and the ancestors of the kings, the ruler of the seven kingdoms and the guardian of the realm, and the name of Stannis I of the House of Baratheon, I, the earl of Griffonburg and the Minister of State of the Sea, and the commander-in-chief of the royal navy, Ronald Clinton, hereby swears that the will of the former King Stannis is true and valid, and verified." ”
Ronald Clinton swore and handed the will back to Ed Stark.
Everyone in the hall seemed to be holding their breath.
No one except Barristan knew what was written in Stannis's will to his designee, Bran Stark.
In the crowd in the hall, there were many king's leading officers and nobles, as well as the commander of the East Sea from the Great Wall of Desperation, Carter Pick, and his men, as well as the famous knights under the nobles of the northern realm.
Eddard Stark's gaze slowly swept across the room, and he saw Tyrion Lannister, Bronn who wanted to be knighted through his exploits, Jon Snow, Yagorite, Clankler, Bran Stark, the little guard of the Kings, Princess Shireen, the intrepid Barristan Selmy, the Sea Secretary Ronald Clinton, the commander-in-chief of the East Sea Lookout, Carter Pick, Brienne of Tarth, the Knight of the Riverlands, Helhunter, the commander-in-chief of the garrison of King's Landing, Jory Keso, and some of the courtiers of the royal realm, The leader of the mercenary group, Prince Ragged, and his officers, who were forced to swear allegiance......
The audience was silent.
Everyone was in a different mood.
Eddard Stark slowly unwrapped Stannis I's will, and all eyes fell on Eddard.
What is on the will will will determine the direction of the country.
Eddard Stark finished reading the letter, looking the same as before he hadn't read it. As he looked away from the will, his eyes glared at Branstark with mixed emotions.
Branstark was shocked, but he straightened up. Beside him, sat Icewolf Summer, a pair of indifferent and unforgiving eyes that were intimidating.
"Sir Barristan Sermy, read the will of King Stannis I!" Eddard Stark handed the will to Barristan Sermy.
