Chapter 0579 - Fairy Island Farman Family
(1 update first)
*
The Farman family has always been a restless family.
The first is geographically, their territory is on an island: Fairy Island. The Tywin Lannisters' castle of Castle Rock is separated not only by the sea, but also by the mainland.
As the saying goes, the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, not to mention that there is a sea in between.
In that year, when the eighteen-year-old Tywin Lannister returned from his battlefield success, he destroyed Reyes of Castelme (the name of the castle) and the Tabek family of Tabek Hall - these two families, especially the Reyes family, which were the most powerful and wealthy families in the West at that time - and a singer wrote the famous song of the Seven Kingdoms: The Rainy Season of Castelme:
The lord proudly declared,
Do you want me to bow down?
The color is different, and the power is not inferior,
Each shows his magic and divides himself into high and low.
Red lion fighting yellow lion,
Minions are sharp and merciless.
Shoot a deadly move,
Don't forget, don't forget.
Oh, he said, he said,
Castelme's lord, he said.
Today, however, during the rainy season,
The rain wept in the hall, but there was no one inside.
Today, however, during the rainy season,
The rain wept in the hall, but there was no soul inside.
When Tywin Lannister destroyed Reyes and Tarbeck, his prestige in the Westlands was at its highest, and no one dared to rebel again—with the exception of the Faman family on Fairy Island.
Earl Farman prepared a sufficient navy, built strong military fortifications on the island, and sent people to Tywin Lannister's city of Castle Rock to claim his independence, but Tywin Lannister did not say anything at that time, but sent a singer who could play the harp to reply to the messenger of Earl Farman.
When the sound of Casterme's song of the rainy season sounded in the castle hall of the Fairy City, Count Farman immediately bowed his head.
But it wasn't over, and on Tywin Lannister's instructions, the violinist brought back the Earl's daughter as a hostage, and her name was Jenny Farman.
Janine Farman grew up with James Cersei in Castle Rock, and she became good friends with Cersei. At that time, Cersei's little girl was not afraid of heaven and earth, she had already had feelings for Jaime, and her love was innocent and fiery and she couldn't help herself, but the love between sister and brother was not tolerated by the Lannister family, and it was also not tolerated by the faith of the Seven Gods.
Soon after, Tywin will hold a national jousting tournament and will propose to King Elise Targaryen after the tournament to marry his daughter Cersei to Prince Rhaeggar.
Cersei fell in love with Prince Rhaegar after she fell in love with James, but she was reluctant to leave Jaime in her heart, she wanted to get these two excellent teenagers at the same time.
Wondering about her future fate, Cersei proposes to her girlfriends to ask the famous 'Toad' Witch Queen about her future. Three young girls who are just starting to fall in love are Cersei Lannister, Janine Farman, and Melaya Hesban.
Jane was timid, and she was so frightened that she ran out of the tent as soon as she saw Witch Queen open her pale yellow eyes. Cersei, though apprehensive, shouted at the Toad Witch, and when she refused, she viciously threatened the Toad that she must tell her the future, and she did not flinch until Meraya Hesban quietly backed away.
The threatened 'Toad' Witch reluctantly agrees to Cersei's request, and after Cersei's finger is pricked with blood, and after being tasted by the lips of 'Toad' Witch, 'Toad' Witch tells Cersei that she will see three of her relatives die, and that she herself will die at the hands of her own brother, and Cersei's only two brothers: Jaime and Tyrion.
Cersei and Jaime fall in love, so naturally there is only one other person who will kill her in the future: the little demon Tyrion Lannister. Cersei never had a crush on Tyrion again, and no matter what Tyrion did, she maliciously tried to figure him out from another angle.
And this famous 'toad' witch is the grandmother of Janine Westerling's mother, Hibel Spicer. Her son founded the Westlands Spicer family.
Jenny Westerling, who is now Robb Stark's lover, has been with the army and has been with Robb in the name of a medical officer.
Jenny Farman is the only one who knows that Cersei is 'going to be killed by her own brother'. Because she is timid and afraid, she has won Cersei's trust, and Cersei also needs her best friends to confide in her heart. Later, Janine Farman's father died, and her brother Sebaston Farman inherited Fairy Island and became the Earl of Fairy City.
Sebaston Farman first expressed his loyalty to Tywin Lannister, hoping to return his sister Janine Farman to Fairy Island, but Tywin flatly refused. Cersei intercedes for Janine Farman, who is then released back to Fairy Island by Tywin. Earl Sebaston Farman immediately found a vassal for his sister to marry, breaking Tywin's desire to use Janine Farman to marry a knight in his family, and Tywin's plan to use the marriage to control Janine Farman failed.
The restless Farman family has always wanted to be independent, after the last defeat in the West, the strength of the Lannister family was seriously weakened, Sebaston Farman wanted to propose independence, and Fairy Island had a water conservancy, although it could not be compared with Lannisport Harbor, but the maritime trade has been doing very well.
After learning about it, Sebaston Farman suppressed his thoughts of independence, fearing that Eddard Stark and Will would support the Lannisters in attacking Fairy Island. After the Lannisters surrendered, they were forgiven by Eddard Stark in many ways, and supported by Eddard Stark in political affairs.
Now Kaivon went to the south in order to unite the southern forces and won a major victory, but there were advantages and disadvantages, Kaivon took the most loyal nobles, which weakened the strength of the West, but when Will and Robb ordered the Westside to submit to the rule of His Majesty Shireen with a royal decree, the Westside was the most vulnerable.
Earl Sebaston Farman, who received Will's order, did not even want to obey his old club Lannister, so naturally he would not obey the orders of the new prime minister, and His Majesty Shireen's royal decree had basically no deterrent effect on him.
Count Sebaston Farman thought that now was the best time for him to become independent, and under the oppression of Will and Robb's forces, the nobles of the Western Frontier all wanted to protect themselves, some turned to the power of the new prime minister, some waited, some were silent, some were opposed, and they were scattered, but he was the only one who wanted independence.
Just when he thought the best moment for Fairy Island to stand on its own feet, Brindon Terron quietly led twenty dead men to the seaside city of Crag Rock and boarded a fishing boat in the dark.
"My lord, let's change into the clothes of the Lannister garrison. "A knight of the Westfrontier proposed.
"No, we put on fishermen's clothes. Brindon Tully said lightly. He threw his Lannister garrison suit and armor into the sea, and gave the order: "Throw away the Lannister garrison uniform and change into a fishing suit." ”
If there were traitors among the nobles of the Westlands in Golden Tooth City, they would have leaked their plans to surprise Fairy City in Lannister uniforms, and Brindon Tully revealed his true plan when he got on the ship, and no matter how unreliable the Westers were, he alone knew that they had entered Fairy City disguised as fishermen.
