Kaiyan City, night.

"Earl Gavin Westerling, Priestess Merry, please. A mysterious man with his face hidden in his hood whispered. Look at the small pattern of flame on his garment, this man is the flaming hand of Priest Merry.

Melisandre's Flame Hand grew to eight hundred, and in two days, an endless stream of criminals were sent to Caesy Rock. As long as it is a crime, big or small, male or female, it is all taken by Melisandre as the hand of fire.

The Hound and Podrick are Melisandre's personal guards, the Hand of Fire's trainer, and the two counts of the West. The territory of the Hound family and the territory of the Pine family were returned to their hands by decree of the Prime Minister, and their identities were also placed on the shoulders of the Prime Minister with a dragon bone sword in Kaiyan City, and in the name of the kingdom and the gods, they were both named Earls of the West, and at the same time became courtiers of the royal family.

The domains of all the nobles within a hundred miles of the Clegane family were also under the jurisdiction of Sandor Clegane, and the Hound could give the territory to the former nobles or to anyone else, or to abandon the grass and do as he pleased.

The same goes for the territories of the 100 miles around the Podrick Pynes, any nobles who are adjacent to the Pyne family are stripped of their domains by the Prime Minister and incorporated into the Pynes' private domains.

Sandor Clegane and Podrick Pine are the unquestionable loyalists of Will's side, and their territory is equivalent to two nails planted by Will in the Westlands.

And the sea in the west has been assigned to the Faman family of Fairy Island.

In just a few days, the world in the West has changed dramatically. With the help of the two griffins, Will went from starting the battle to breaking through the West. The Westerling continent is the first time that such a powerful conquest speed has been achieved. Adam Malbran's Imprint City, which would have taken at least a few days to take for any other general, would have taken the city in less than an hour and captured all the soldiers and noble families who were still alive.

As soon as Gavin Westerling took off his clothes and went to bed, he heard that Priestess Merry had been invited, and he did not dare to slack off, so he immediately got up, washed up, dressed neatly, and came to Priest Merry's room.

Priestess Merry was staring at a brazier and watching the flames go out of their mind.

Will rode a griffin to hunt down the fleeing Mellon Craech, and the management of Castle Rock was managed by Priest Merry and Mullen Lannister.

Gavin Westerling has been in a happy mood these days, his face is ruddy, although he is the affairs officer of Lord Will, responsible for managing the correspondence of Lord Will's decrees, and is a real confidant, but when he saw Priest Merry, he still did not dare to come out, and he was honestly afraid.

"Count Gavin!" said Priestess Merry lightly, her voice full of feminine temptation. But Count Gavin looked at his nose and nose and his heart with respect.

"Yes, Lady Merry. ”

"The Westerlings have become one of the five great families in the Westlands this time!"

"Thank you, Madame, for cultivating. ”

"Are there any gold mines in Castelmet's territory of the Reyes family?"

"Abundant reserves, ma'am. ”

"Where's Tarbey Hall?"

"There are also many gold mines in the territory of Tarbey Hall, ma'am. ”

"That said, House Westerling will soon rise to the West, congratulations. ”

"We'll pay enough taxes to the treasury, ma'am. ”

"More than twenty years ago, Castelme's Reyes were wiped out by Tywin, why didn't Tywin send someone to dig up their gold mines?"

"Madam, after the Tywin family destroyed the Reyes family and the Tabek family, in order to warn the tribes in the west, the castles, homes, mines, and forests burned down by the two families are not allowed to be invaded or excavated by anyone, so anything in the territory of the Reyes and Tabek families remains the same as when they were destroyed, and no one dares to disturb it. ”

"Oh, I see. Lord Will has given you both the Casterme of the Reyes family and the Tabel Hall of the Tarbeck family, and the huge territory and rich gold mines are also the Westerling family's, as well as more than a dozen small nobles in the territory, and nearly a thousand commoners, all of whom have become the children of the Westerling family, do you think you are still satisfied?"

"The Westerlings are grateful to the Prime Minister and Mrs. Merry, and if the Prime Minister and Mrs. Merry are of use to my Gavin's place, they will go to the soup and die. Gavin Westerling hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said.

He wasn't stupid, and he had already smelled that Priestess Merry needed something from him.

"Very well, Count Gavin, you are not stupid, I admire such a clever and loyal man as you. To be honest, I do need your help with one thing, this matter is related to the stability of the Seven Kingdoms and the consolidation of Lord Will's power, you don't want the Castelme and Tabe Hall that you got your hands on to be taken away by other Western nobles, and at that time, your Rock City may also be invaded by other nobles. ”

Gavin Westerling broke out in a cold sweat.

"My lord, if such an unfortunate day comes, it must be because Will's position as prime minister has been taken by someone else, do you want to see this terrible change?"

"Madam, I swear in the ancient and noble name of the House of Westerling that our family will only follow Her Majesty Shireen and Lord Will to the death. ”

"Good. In order for Lord Will to sit firmly in the hand of the king, he needs an alliance of nobles with absolute weight and strength. And the strongest alliance is marriage. The Martell family of Dorne, of course, is impossible, the Lannisters of the West, even less possible, the Arryn family of Vale, who has only a sick boy, and the Tully family of the Riverlands, who have no women at all. ”

Melisandre's tone was light, and her eyes were always fixed on the flames in the brazier: "Count Gavin, which family do you think is the most suitable for Lord Will to marry?"

"House Stark of the North!"

Melisandre smiled slightly, and then turned to look at Gavin Westerling, who was kneeling on one knee: "Your Excellency, please get up, you kneel on one knee like this, and if Lord Will knows, he will scold me." ”

Gavin stood up, expecting Ai Ai: "Priestess Merry, Miss Sansa of House Stark seems to be only thirteen or fourteen? this, this ......"

"Lord Gavin, a woman is a woman when she comes to menstruation. If you're willing to propose to the Stark family for Lord Will, I guarantee you'll get the honor and the credit. Let me tell you a little bit, Lord Will didn't care about this marriage, but Sansa Stark is just starting to fall in love, and she won't marry a big hero, do you understand?"

"Yes, ma'am!" Gavin was overjoyed, this medium was successful, and his status and merits among the royal court were prominent. Both the Prime Minister and the Stark family owe him a favor. But in his ecstasy, he immediately thought of a key point, "Ma'am, what about Lady Caitlin's opinion? Since Miss Sansa is fond of Lord Will, Lady Catelyn must also know what she thinks of the marriage between Lord Will and Miss Sansa?"

"Lady Caitlyn has a little trouble that you need to solve, Lord Gavin, I give you a great credit, you can't refuse to spend any effort. You and Mrs. Caitlyn are in-laws, and there is no more suitable person than you to come to the door to propose. ”

"Yes, yes, ma'am, I see, I will do my best. ”

"It's not about trying, it's about succeeding. If the position of Prime Minister changes, you and I, all of us, will not have a good time. ”

"Yes, ma'am, I will do it. ”

"Very well, thank you, Mr. Gavin. ”

"Yes, ma'am!" Garvin Westerling respectfully took two steps back before turning and walking.

"Your Excellency!" said Priestess Merry lightly.

"Yes, ma'am. Gavin stopped at the door.

"The castle of the Malbran family has been burned down, and the territory has been given to the Leo Rafford family of Golden Tooth. They are still loyal to the Lannisters, and they are very resentful of me and Lord Will, and I think they are in a bad mood, do you think they will kill themselves?"

Gavin was stunned and said, "Lady Merry, is this what Lord Will meant?"

"Lord Gavin, if you can only do the clean work of 'being a matchmaker', then forget it. ”

"Madame, give me a day, and I will persuade the Marbran family to put aside their hatred and not go to extremes. ”

"Now is the best time to consolation, in the dead of night, every door is open. ”

"Yes, ma'am. ”
