Lannisport.

A city with a strong fleet and city garrison.

The main fort.

Mullen Lannister sat in the dark shadow of his study, the light of a candle shining on a book with a piece of parchment on it, on which there was only one sentence: Stannis I died, he left no will, on the Iron Throne, there was no heir according to the law.

There is no signature on the parchment.

Mullen Lannister is a branch of the Lannister family, but he is a man who knows what he is capable of, he can manage Lannister, he can hold Lannisterport and strengthen him, this is the limit of his ability.

The news brought unease to Mullen rather than opportunity, because he didn't want to fight, he wanted stability. The western frontier is stable, the kingdom is stable, and the continent is stable.

Stability is the prerequisite for the prosperity and prosperity of port trade.

Tywin Lannister's grandson Joffrey Baratheon reigned as king in the West, but the West's defeat resulted in the destruction of the capital city of Castle Rock by the tri-land coalition led by Eddard Stark, and the wealth of Castle Rock was looted, and the Hall of Heroes built of gold no longer existed.

During the war, Tywin's resurrection brought a glimmer of revival to the West, but it was soon snuffed out by a Night's Watch named Will Cao, and the Golden Tooth City, which had held back Eddard Stark's coalition, became an isolated city, and the cities behind it fell.

The city of Lannisport was not spared, but was surrendered not by battle, but surrendered peacefully. Lannisport also paid the price of its own surrender, half of the money and food were taken by the coalition forces, and the only good thing was that the navy and city garrison were not weakened.

Lannisport has built up a naval fleet due to its long-term threat to the Iron Islands and pirates, which is a great force for the port city, and one of the reasons why Mullen has no ambition to dominate the West, and the navy is only good at naval warfare.

The second major incident of Tywin Lannister's resurrection was a major blow to the Westsiders' will to fight, and as their wealth was looted by the Triple Alliance, the Westlanders' vitality was greatly damaged. After Kaivon Lannister once again led the armies of the Westside to conquer the Tyrells on the orders of Stannis I, the most powerful family in the entire Westside was Mullen Lannister.

When Kevon Lannister was recruited by Stannis to leave the West, he told Mullen Lannister to get ready, but he didn't understand what the preparation was, and now that he thinks about it, it was related to the death of Stannis I.

Kavon was planning something, and some of it was successful.

But Mullen Lannister preferred that Stannis I hadn't died.

There was no one on the Iron Throne now, but he knew that it wouldn't be long before there would be a lot of people vying to sit on it. The West, which had just stabilized, looked like it was about to be embroiled in even greater chaos again.

He wanted stability, and he didn't want to get involved again in the battle of a certain king for the Iron Throne.

The wealth of his family that he had worked hard for many years, and the savings of the entire port city for many years, were taken away by the Eddard coalition army once they were defeated and surrendered. Mullen Lannister didn't want another Seven Kingdoms scuffle and someone would come and take the rest of his half.

His naval fleet was also able to survive because of the support of wealth.

And now, although he will not go bankrupt, he has become a real poor man compared to before.

Cocoa!

There was a polite knock on the door.

Mullen Lannister brace himself, he can't let his family guards and bachelors see his fragile and depressed side.

Mullen lit the huge red candles on the walls and the torches on the walls, illuminating the study as if it were day. The gloomy side of him that had been hiding in a dimly lit corner was gone.

"Come in!" Mullen said.

Bachelor Miller comes in with Mullen's daughter, a very cute girl who resembles Cersei's daughter, Messira Baratheon.

Behind the two men, there was another person, dressed in a black burqa with his face covered, which reminded Mullen of the Silent Sisters' attire.

"My lord, I have brought you a friend. "Bachelor Miller is a cautious and learned man, and would never bring an insignificant man into his study to disturb him.

Mullen stared at the visitor, "Bachelor, please take Rosamon out first." ”

Rosamon Lannister is the daughter of Mullen.

"No, sir. The man who came slowly pulled the black cloth off his face was James Lannister.

Mullen froze.

Jaime Lannister is back?!

It was too shocking to him.

He had barely basked in the shock of Stannis I's death when Jaime Lannister appeared.

"Mistress Miller, take Rosamon out. Mullen said again, in an uncertain tone.

"Yes, sir. ”

Miller took Rosamon out, and Mullen saw that Jaime Lannister's gaze was very gentle on Rosamon. Rosamon resembles the Messiah Baratheon, which reminds Mullen of the incestuous rumors between Jaime and Cersei, is the Messira Baratheon really the daughter of Jaime and Cersei?

Various features show yes!

Miller took Rosamon out, and the moment he gently closed the door, Rosamon gave James a cute smile, and James returned the favor. It seems that Jaime and Rosamon had been in close contact before this.

"Jaime!" Mullen didn't dare to sit down, surprised.

There are many Lannisters in Lannisterport, most of them of low status, such as Lannister, Lannitz, Lantel, and some of the more humble Lannisters, most of whom have yellow hair instead of blonde hair. Only the blood of Muren Lannister is closer to the blood of the Jaime Lannister family. Even in the closer Mullen bloodline, their blonde hair is more straight than curly.

"I'm back. Jaime said, taking Mullen's seat, "Is there any wine? ”

"Yes, of course. Mullen hurriedly went to the wine cabinet next to his desk and pulled out the wine.

"You're unsettled, and you don't seem to welcome me. Jaime drank a glass of wine, and he handed it to Mullen for another glass.

"No, I'm glad to see your peace. Mullen said hurriedly.

But your expression is not happy, but dismayed. Do you think I'm not me?"

"No, absolutely not. Mullen hurriedly spoke.

"Can I still trust your loyalty to Castle Rock?" Jaime said lightly this time instead of taking a sip of the wine, slowly putting down the glass.

"Of course, the Mulen family's pledge of allegiance to Castle Rock will never change. ”

"Very well, you swore an oath in the name of the Seven Gods, but now, Duke Tywin Lannister is gone, and Ser Kevon is fighting far away in the Bends. ”

"My vows will never change, in the name of the gods, old and new. Mullen half-knelt down, his right fist on his left chest.

Jaime has returned, and he is the Duke of Castle Rock in line. Kaivon Lannister is honored for him.

"Okay, get up, my lord, I believe in your loyalty, and our two families are also related by the same blood. ”

"Yes, Lord Duke. Mullen stood up and stood with his hands down.
