"I don't understand what a roundtable is?" Shireen said.

Will groaned, "If we finish fighting the Stranger, who do you think should sit on the Iron Throne?"

Shireen looked at Will, at Arya, a cold sweat broke down her spine, "Can I ask Bran to come in?" ”

"Bran can't know the Roundtable exists, at least not yet. Arya said.

Will looked at Shireen and said slowly: "Your Majesty Shirin, do you think that after fighting the strangers, if we win, who should sit on the Iron Throne?"

Shireen was stunned!

She's the king now, shouldn't she be the king? So who's going to do it? Lord Will wants to be the king himself? He does have the strength, and the army is in his hands. He was the regent, and he was above the seven kingdoms under one man.

Today, she has also given Will dictatorial powers. That's because, if she didn't, Shireen knew that at least none of the courtiers in the Stormlands would be so obedient to Will. The bright ones won't resist, and the secret ones are not in place, and no one can do anything about them. Shireen knew this, and Lord Will's long time away probably wouldn't have understood the minds of Baratheon's former courtiers.

However, Shireen never expected that Will and Arya would come to her dormitory and suddenly say such a question: Who should sit on the throne after the war?

In other words, after defeating the Stranger, Daenerys Targaryen has the strongest force, and the entire continent of Essos is her territory, and she wants to declare war and seize the Iron Throne, first, she has this strength, and second, she has this qualification. This Iron Throne was built by Daenerys' ancestor, Aegon I Targaryen, whose father was the last king of the Targaryen family on the Iron Throne, and she rightfully took back his father's Iron Throne. Will said slowly.

Shireen was silent.

She felt that Mistress Will had a point. Daenerys has dragons and armies, and the Iron Throne is her father's. Robert Baratheon overthrew Daenerys' father's throne, and now she's coming to overthrow Shireen Baratheon, and it's fair to say that she's going to take revenge. Moreover, on the continent of Westeros, there are many nobles who are still loyal to the Targaryen royal family, such as the nobles in the town of Nuquan and Harroway in the Riverlands.

"Jon Snow, the son of Rhaegar Targaryen, Rhaegar is the crown prince of King Elis, the heir to the throne, and after his death, his only son Jon Targaryen is the heir in line, if Jon is going to fight for the throne, what are we going to do? He also has the qualifications and the capital. There are many nobles loyal to the Targaryens, and there are some diehards of the Targaryens in the Seven Kingdoms, and there are at least three great nobles in the stormland of His Majesty Shireen's family who support the Targaryens. ”

Shireen said, "I know a little bit about that, Lord Will. ”

"Your Majesty Shireen, you are now the queen of the Iron Throne, the Seven Kingdoms are subject to you, after the Battle of the Strangers, you should sit on the Iron Throne, you are the king of this country, and you are rightfully named. Storm's End, Dorne and the Riverlands, the Vales, the Riverlands, and the North are now all your vassals, aren't they all your vassals after fighting the Strangers? Of course they should be, right?"

Shireen was speechless.

"Everyone has a valid reason to sit on the Iron Throne, but only one person can sit on the Iron Throne. Will said lightly, "Either the war continues, or, everyone sits down, sits together, and settles disputes peacefully, without meeting each other on the battlefield, just at a round table, and the disputes are resolved, which is the meaning of the existence of the round table." Join the roundtable to be eligible to participate in dispute resolution. ”

Shireen is silent!

"The Round Table is not just about the ownership of the Iron Throne, but also about trade disputes, political conflicts, military wars, and battles of faith. The Red God, the Grim Reaper, the Thousand Faces God, the Fire Warlock, and their top members have all joined or will join the Roundtable. You are the king of Westeros, and you cannot settle any disputes between nations without joining the Roundtable. Military, trade, government affairs, finance, as long as you have a problem in any place, you can't solve it well. Will tried to speak as slowly as he could.

"What if the Roundtable makes a decision and one of the kings below is not willing to abide by or enforce it?" Shireen stammered.

"Then he will be executed by the Round Table. Will said lightly.

Execution? Execution of a king?!

Shireen's eyes flashed with a hint of panic as she looked at Arya, who looked at her with a calm gaze.

"My husband is Bran Stark, and since Stark is already a member of the Roundtable, I'm joining. Shireen Baratheon said. She mentions Bran Stark twice and looks at Arya, the little girl's mind is obvious, she is insecure, and she hopes Stark will give him security.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Will said lightly.

"Westeros' Roundtable, can I know who they are?"

"Of course, we will also tell you the top members of the World Round Table, and then the location and membership list of the branches of the Round Table, and, if His Majesty thinks there are reliable people, may recommend them to the Round Table. In Westeros, there is a Round Table branch currently located in Dorne. ”

"Why was it set up in Dorne instead of King's Landing?"

"The city of Pantos is opposite King's Landing, the two large cities are very close to each other, and Pantos is the center of the World Round Table, where once a year, the highest members of the Round Table of Westeros and Essos will meet in Pantos to discuss the politics, military, trade, and finance of the two continents, and to mediate the conflicts between the city-states, islands, merchants, archdukes, and kings of the two continents. ”

"Lord Will, I joined the Roundtable through you and became one of them, am I a member of the branch Roundtable of Westeros, or a member of the World Roundtable?"

"Your Majesty, you are a member of the World Roundtable. I, Your Majesty, Arya, James, we are members of the four World Roundtables representing the interests of the continent of Westeros, and I hope that in the future we will gradually increase the proportion of our members at the highest roundtables. Arya and Jaime are the cleaners of the World Roundtable, responsible for weeding out anyone who fails to comply with the resolutions of the conference. You and I are responsible for fighting for the political, military, and trade interests of Westeros. The two of us have the same interests and belong to Moon, and Jaime and Arya belong to Vu. ”

Shireen's mood was relieved: Westeros's representatives—— it turned out that Lord Will, Arya, and Jaime Lannister were all members with her, and everyone had the same goals and interests, and they were all members of the Westeros continent. The members of the same region made Shireen feel very familiar.

She is not alone, she has fellow travelers, and is a very powerful companion.

Arya's younger brother Bran Stark is her husband, and Stark and the Baratheon family are married, and the goals and interests are even more identical, so from this point of view, Lord Will will not have other bad intentions for her. The old ministers of the Stormlands were worried that Lord Will would take her place, but that worry was unnecessary, as she thought!

Shireen Baratheon was indeed afraid of Will, and Will was a great celebrity, and many of the ministers of the Stormlands spoke ill of Will in front of Shireen, telling Shireen to be wary of Will's ambitions. Shireen is a pure girl, but she has listened a lot and has a lot of complicated thoughts in her heart. But she buried her thoughts deeply, and at the same time, her innocence made her support Will's decision as always.

Arya seemed to see through Shireen's thoughts, and she shook Will's hand: "Your Majesty Shireen, when we return to Winterfell, we will have a wedding." ”

Arya took Will's hand, and Will shook his hand backwards. It was a clear signal, and Shireen's eyes widened!

After Will and Sansa's engagement was cancelled, it was rumored that Sansa had rejected Will's marriage proposal, and Stark and Will's marriage failed, which was a threat to the stability of the North and the loyalty of the Night's Watch. Why the stability of the North and the threat of the Night's Watch have so much to do with Will and Sansa's marriage?—— the nobles of Storm's Rest told her that many of the courtiers were former ministers and relatives of the Baratheon family, and Her Majesty Shireen listened to a considerable part of the words.

"Your Majesty, we are family. Will reached out and patted Shireen lightly on the back of her hand.

Shireen smiled slowly, a sweet and bright smile.

She and Bran Stark are fiancées, Lord Will and Arya Stark are fiancées, and she and Lord Will, who are feared by the courtiers of Storm's End, are actually really a family, a family related by blood.

Shireen felt like she had done the right thing to join the Roundtable.

Will, Shireen, Arya – they're all together at the World Roundtable, they're family, and that's the power of true unity.

The pressure and shadows that have been on Shirin's heart for a long time dissipate, and those pressures and shadows are the negative effects that the former ministers of the Stormland have brought to Shirin, day by day, day by day.

Those old ministers were afraid of Will, fearing that after he concentrated his military power, he would oust Shireen from the Iron Throne at any time, and he himself would be king, which now seemed impossible.

Because Arya Stark is Bran Stark's sister, and she is Bran Stark's fiancée.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to listen to those gossips from now on. Will said.

"Whoever speaks to Your Majesty that Will is not good, Your Majesty should be careful. Believe in loyal ministers and stay away from traitorous ministers. Arya said.

"I remember, Arya. Shireen said calmly, "Lord Will, although I have heard a lot of bad things about you, I have always believed in your integrity and character, and you were the first person to come to find us and rescue us from the Five Fingers Peninsula after the bloody incident at the Bloody Gate. “

"If you are as bad as they say, why didn't you kill me after the bloodshed and proclaimed me king? Without you, I wouldn't be on the Iron Throne today. ”

Will and Arya looked at each other, and perhaps, everyone underestimated the weak-looking girl.

Although she is timid, young, and listens to some negative things, and has traces of gray scale disease on her face, she actually has her own independent judgment. In her heart, she has her own thoughts and conclusions.

Will smiled reassuringly.

To achieve a new glorious dynasty, it is necessary to have the right people in all aspects, and all of them are indispensable.

Chapter 0994-2

The next day, the Hall of the Thrones.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for occasionally feeling the wind and cold, and I am tired from the journey, and my legs are painful, and it is difficult to bend down and kneel. Lady Olenna said.

Two maids supported her, one on the left and one on the right.

"Lady Olenna, you don't have to kneel. Her Majesty Shireen said, "Your Excellency, I want Lady Olenna to sit at the round table of the Imperial Ministers, is that okay?"

"Of course, Your Majesty. Will said.

"Your Majesty, you are really so polite, thank you!" Lady Olenna Redwyne slowly sat down in one of the seats of the Imperial Minister, with the help of her maid. Only the Minister of Justice, the Minister of the Sea, the Minister of Finance, the Captain of the Imperial Guard, the Prime Minister, the Commander of the Garrison, and the Chief of Intelligence are eligible to sit at the Round Table of the Imperial Ministers, and the rest of the military generals can only stand in the queues on both sides of the hall.

Randolph Tully and Mace Tyrell were both standing in the queue of courtiers, and Mays was terrified. When his mother looked at him, his confidence and sharpness vanished.

He knew that his mother would be coming to King's Landing, and he had expected her to arrive a few days late, after all, the march was fast. The mother was old and could not withstand the bumps, so she should have come slowly in a carriage. But this time, Lady Olenna acted with the army, and arrived in King's Landing with the first army.

"Thank you, ma'am, for your food, weapons, and money. Will whispered.

On the Iron Throne, Her Majesty Shireen said, "Lady Olenna, on behalf of this country, thank you for your food, weapons, and coins. ”

"I have come to King's Landing to plead the King and Prime Minister for this arrogant act of trying to blackmail the Prime Ministers of the Seven Kingdoms into power with a little food, weapons, and coins. Lady Olenna said.

"Forcing the prime minister to step down is tantamount to treason. A nobleman shouted.

The defeat of the Tyrells and the victory of the Prime Minister are the golden opportunity to win the Prime Minister's favor by seeing the wind and rudder.

"Yes, trying to blackmail the prime minister with food is actually blackmailing the country, the king, and all of us, and the Tyrells have committed treason. "There are nobles who echo it.

"Lady Olenna and the Duke of Metz should be put on black jail, tried by the Royal Council, and sentenced to be hanged. "There are radical aristocratic statements.

A lot of nobles have chimed in!

Mace Tyrell's face was like dirt, and the palms of Randolph Tully's hands were covered with cold sweat. He is a famous military general, and politically, he is not well-rounded.

Only Lady Olena's face did not change.

Will said: "Everyone, the Duke of Metz and Lady Olenna did not rebel against the king or the country in the first place, they were only against me. I have reconciled with Lady Olenna in Riverlands, and the matter is over, and you will not mention it again. Next, we should discuss the issue of food and troops going north. Most of us here will have to go north, whether they are involved in combat or logistical support, and the number of courtiers in the Red Keep will be greatly reduced, and I recommend Lady Olenna Redwin as the head of the court, to assist the king in handling the affairs of the palace and to manage all the chores in the palace. “

Will stood up, his gaze swept over the courtiers, and not a single one of them raised their hands in disapproval!
