"Your Majesty!" said Eddard Stark, "I beg your Majesty's permission to adopt Cersei, the widow of the Late King, who has been imprisoned, and Tyrion Lannister in prison, and Tomman and Messira who have no one to take care of them. ”

"Yes!" Stannis's words were always succinct.

Eddard Stark signaled, and the Northern guards immediately went up to pick up Tomman and Misella, and the two children sobbed. Jory Kesso squatted down and whispered, "Don't cry, I'll take you to your mother later." Tommen said, "You're a bad person, I don't trust you." The Messira said, "Really? ”

Jory Kesso nodded, "Or I'll take you now, okay, Messira?"

"I'll go too. Tomman said.

"Okay, let's go. ”

The two children followed Jory Kesso, their cries getting quieter.

Eddard Stark said, "Your Majesty, Cersei and Tyrion are in prison for their crimes, and Tywin Lannister of the Westside will definitely raise an army, please make arrangements as soon as possible." ”

Stannis's usual cold tone: "If he wants to fight, then fight." ”

"Please Your Majesty immediately reorganize the important ministers of the Imperial Council, and everyone will perform their duties and serve the country. ”

Stannis stared at Eddard Stark, his gaze slowly moved away, and he scanned the audience again, his dark blue eyes were like dark night: "Lord Eddard, you have eliminated traitors, and you have made meritorious contributions to protect the king, and I have given you the fiefdom of Dragonstone Island, the guardian of the north, the legal guardian of Robert Arryn, the heir of the Valley of Arryn, and the guardian of the east." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Eddard Stark knelt down on one knee to thank him, "Your Majesty, in order to prevent the movement of troops in the West, please allow me to leave for a day to return to the North, and call the vassal lords of the North and the East, and prepare for the West." If the soldiers and horses from the west attack King's Landing, or if there is a change in the lords of other kingdoms, the ministers will lead the army from the north, and then march south with the army from the east to eliminate the rebels with Your Majesty. ”

As long as Cersei's head hits the ground, there will be a war. Ranley Baratheon would also not recognize Stannis's kingship.

"Accurate!"

"Your Majesty, once the minister returns to the north to rectify the troops and horses, he can no longer share the worries and problems of the Lord in the Red Keep of King's Landing, and for the post of Prime Minister, please choose another noble and honorable lord. ”

"Lord Eddard, the position of Prime Minister is permanently reserved for you. When you're gone, you're still Prime Minister. However, you must nominate a loyalist to take your place as Prime Minister in King's Landing. Once the kingdom is at peace, the lords of the seven kingdoms are subjugated, and the sword is not strong, you must come back and continue to serve as the hand of the king. ”

"Sir Davos Seaworth was elected as his temporary replacement. Eddard Stark said slowly after glancing around the courtiers.

Davos Seaworth was taken aback: "Prime Minister, I can't even read a word, so I must not ......"

"The Acting Prime Minister may be appointed with a special scholar of high moral character to issue an order, and the Lord only needs to move his mouth. If there is a letter, the adult only needs to have an ear. Eddard Stark said, "There are many people who can read and write, but there are too few who dare to speak up and be loyal." ”

"I come from a humble background, and I can't convince people......" Davos admittedly feared.

Stannis said coldly: "Davos, I want to bring justice to Westeros, and you deserve it. Get on your knees, Sir Davos. ”

"Your Majesty?"

"Because of the salted fish and onions, I made you a rider. Now, on the honorary recommendation of Lord Eddard Stark, I promote you to Lordship. ”

"I'm very satisfied to be a knight, Your Majesty ....... ”

"Kneel, your king is commanding you. Stannis's voice was unwelcoming.

Davos knelt down, and Stannis took the sword from Melisandre, the red-robed woman. The sword body shone with a strange light, one moment orange, one moment yellow, one moment red, one moment blue, the colors changed, and the surrounding air also changed and glowed, gorgeous and dazzling.

Stannis stepped down from the Iron Throne and placed his sword on Davos's shoulder: "Sir Davos, Sir of Seaworth, are you my loyal subject, today and forever?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Will you swear to serve me all the rest of your life, to give me honest counsel and absolute obedience? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Will you protect my rights and my country, and fight by my side for the benefit of my people and punish my enemies, no matter what is in danger of the future?"

"I do, Your Majesty. ”

"Arise, then, Davos Seaworth, Lord of the Rainforest, Commander of the Narrow Sea Fleet, Hand of the Acting King. ”

Davos stood up, his face reddening. In the eyes of the other lords and nobles, I was a contemptible smuggler, no matter what high position I reached.

Eddard Stark said, "Your Majesty, the North has always been an ally of the Night's Watch, and in the battle to clear the Lannister rebel guards, there are captives willing to serve as Night's Watch, please receive them, and allow me to send the North guards to escort them all the way to the Great Wall in the North. ”

Escort, that is, escort.

"Good!" Stannis said.

He returned to the Iron Throne, and a black-clad Boron and Angay, along with a few black-clad brothers, stepped out of the dense queue.

"You volunteered to be the night watchman?" asked the king.

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Melisandre stared at the men in black, she saw that their eyes were different, and Melisandre penetrated the thoughts of the men in black: in fact, no one volunteered to go, but was forced by the situation to have to go. Her eyes fell on Angai's face, but the freckled boy was genuinely happy, which made her slightly puzzled.

"I want to hear your night watchman's oath. ”

The eight-clawed spider Varys was slightly surprised: the man in black who has not been trained will not recite the oath declaration of the man in black, unless someone has taught him beforehand.

But why did someone deliberately teach them to recite the Night's Watch oath beforehand?

Varys's eyes flickered, and the situation became more and more interesting. He did design something to make the kingdom chaotic for the Targaryens on the other side of the Narrow Sea to regain the kingdom, but he didn't want the Night's Watch to be involved.

Bolonangai and several other black-clothed people immediately recited in unison: The long night is coming, I will keep watch from now on until I die. I will not have a wife, nor a fief, nor a child. I will not wear a crown, and I will not compete for honor. I will do my duty and die in my life. I am the sword in the darkness, the guard on the Wall. I am the flame against the cold, the light at dawn, the trumpet that awakens the sleeper, the shield that guards the kingdom. I give my life and glory to the night watchman, tonight, night and night.

Eddard Stark watched Melisandre's reaction, her red eyes like a beating flame.

Stannis said, "Night's Watch, you are the shield that guards the kingdom, and I appreciate that. Lord Eddard, courtiers, nobles, knights and ladies, sergeants and soldiers, the kingdom of Stannis I will begin a new history, which will be very different from other kings, and I will fully support the cause of the Night's Watch, asking for money for money, and asking for people to give to people. ”

"Your Majesty King Xie. The Night's Watch and Eddard Stark spoke in unison.

"Men of the Night's Watch, you will take my edict to the Great Wall, and tell the Commander-in-Chief of the Great Wall, Lord Mormont, that there is something wrong with the kingdom, and that the good days of the night watchman taking the money and goods of the kingdom are over. Beginning with Stannis I, the Night's Watch will be tasked with guarding the kingdom, defending against the wildlings on the outside, resisting rebellions on the inside, sharing the worries of the kingdom, and benefiting the people of the Seven Kingdoms, which is the true shield of the kingdom. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Several of the night watchmen replied in unison.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Eddard Stark replied aloud.

Varys' heart jumped!

There was also a slight commotion in the hall.

Stannis broke the ice and set a precedent, and the forces of the Night's Watch had the power to intervene in the Seven Civil Wars because of his words.

This is an extremely bad sign.

The Night's Watch have always been allies of the Northerners, and have little to do with the other kingdoms.

In order to stabilize the Iron Throne, Stannis and Eddard Stark did everything they could, and they did not let go of the meager power of the Night's Watch legion?

His gaze sneaked into the audience, and most of them looked strange. But no one came forward to speak out against it, including Varys himself.

With the exception of the North, the other Lord Knights have effectively ignored the existence of the Night's Watch. The strength of the Night's Watch is indeed insignificant and negligible for any lord of the Seven Kingdoms.

However, even if the Night's Watch were only able to offer one soldier to the Northern Army, that was a disturbing sign.

The history of the Seven Kingdoms has undergone tremendous changes in silence.

Is the history of the Night's Watch, who never intervened in the kingdom's wars, so simple and flirtatious?

Was it Stannis's slip of the tongue or was it premeditated?

Varys' eyes were on Eddard Stark.

A latent force that Varys had never anticipated beforehand, like a behemoth hidden underwater, silently propelled the giant ship of Westeros towards its unpredictable course. And the vast majority of the tens of millions of people who stayed on this ship were unaware.
