Chapter 34 Status and Marriage

Looking at the dumbfounded Clay, Earl Wyman's smile suddenly disappeared from his smiling face, and he no longer looked as kind as before. He put the wine bottle on the table with a bang and said to Clay seriously:

"Clay Mandalay, you shouldn't be surprised. You are surprised now. That is because you don't realize how important you are to the entire Mandalay family!"

"In front of Lord Stark, I want to protect the image of the Mandalay family. Do you know how lucky I was when I killed the Lannister and was thrown into the dungeon protectively by His Majesty the King?"

"What are you looking at? Do you still expect that the gods will give you fairness and justice by trial by combat? Not to mention what His Majesty the King thinks in his heart, I tell you, if Lannister really wants to make trouble, His Majesty will not go to Lannisters because of you. Nist turned against you, you’re not worth it!”

"Let me tell you again, don't expect to get any fairness and justice from the emperor and those southerners. If I didn't have an army that can put on the table, you would have gone to meet the gods by now."

The old man dragged Clay to the window, pointed at the bustling port outside, and said coldly:

"Think about yourself. Your father and your uncle are both reckless men who only know how to fight. It is a dream to expect them to manage such a big city. As for your sister and your sister, the best destination is to marry into a good place and let us live in vain. Hong Kong has one or two allies who can help each other."

"Clear your identity. You are the best and only heir of the Mandalay family. You became a warrior who left Valyria without my permission. The water has frozen into solid ice, so I will." Stop talking, next time you have similar thoughts, you must tell me!"

The old man pointed to his gray hair and continued breathing heavily:

"I am already sixty years old, and there is no telling when I will return to the embrace of the gods. The power of the White Sea is the best tool for you to layout and adjust White Harbor to the most suitable position. You must take over!"

Clay was silent. Until just now, he had a bit of a game-playing attitude. Subconsciously, he was not aware of the meaning of the title of Mandalay's heir.

Whether it was killing the Lannister in anger or dealing with the assassins, he always acted based on his own feelings, without even realizing that his words and deeds represented the huge Manderly family that had been entrenched in White Harbor for thousands of years. .

The old man is not worried that he will use the power of the family to obtain corresponding power. On the contrary, he is afraid that he will do things recklessly and will not be able to use the power of the family. As the old man just said, he is the only heir. He gets some What's the harm in having power?

After figuring it out, then bow your head and admit your mistake. Clay said honestly:

"I understand, grandpa. I will definitely discuss it with the family next time."

After grunting twice, he let Clay go, and Earl Wyman put his broad body into the chair again. Clay could clearly hear the groaning sound of the wood.

The old man did not pick up the wine bottle this time, but looked out the window.

"Do you know? When you were on the ship returning to Westeros in the Narrow Sea, that old guy Malone and I were already thinking about your marriage."

marriage? What the hell, how did you jump here?

"While you were away from White Harbor, I have received an invitation from the Frey family. They invited you to the Twins to attend the naming day of Lord Walder Frey's countless children. It was obviously just to see. Can you marry a Frey girl to you?"

Although there was a lot of information, Clay nodded as calmly as possible. After he really regarded himself as the heir of White Harbor, he realized that it seemed so reasonable for this incident to happen.

For the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, in addition to the seven guardian families and the Greyjoys of the Iron Islands, Clay, as the heir to the great nobles, is undoubtedly a very good marriage partner. Citadel property of the Hightower family in Oldtown.

"Grandpa, how did you reply?" Clay asked cautiously.

Although he knew that this kind of thing would happen in the future, Clay still couldn't accept it in his heart, such a top-notch thing like going on a blind date just after returning home, and it was from the Frey family, which Clay had a very bad impression of.

Glancing at him slightly, Earl Weiman grinned and said slowly:

"I replied to Lord Frey, who was late, saying that you are still in Winterfell and will give him a reply when you return."

"Don't say what you think, listen to me first." Earl Wiman raised his hand to interrupt his grandson who wanted to speak.

"My suggestion is that you write a letter to Lord Walder Frey now, or I can write it. You'd better go on this trip. Lord Walder has never had a heavy belly in his more than ninety years of life. Pass."

"But you are going here just for the sake of the Marquis's face. After all, the location of his castle is too important. Take care of what is in your crotch. It has not yet come into play."

The old man's words were a bit vulgar, but Clay understood the meaning. The Lord of the Twins, who got a "Late Marquis Frey", was actually very powerful, but his reputation was too bad, so Clay wanted to go, but the old man didn't know what he meant. Not interested in the Frey family women.

The old man's words probably represent the thoughts of most of the northern nobles. Thinking about Robb Stark's subsequent breach of oath and engagement with the Frey family, this may also be part of the reason.

But he didn't expect that Old Frey was too vindictive, so the invincible Young Wolf Lord was stabbed through the heart by a dagger with Lannister greetings at the wedding banquet, leading to a bloody wedding that changed the direction of the entire war. .

Regarding this, Clay had no room for struggle and could only nod in agreement. At the same time, he also asked himself in his heart what kind of person he would choose.

If he really had the final say, then he would not hesitate to choose between Daenerys and Margaery Tyrell. The reason is nothing more than beauty. In fact, Clay knows very well. Those are all excuses.

He has never met Daenerys Targaryen, and he has never met Margaery Tyrell. He has no idea what they look like. Rather than liking an illusory description of beauty, he also Rather, I like the titles on their heads.

Queen or Queen, the desire to conquer is the first driving force.

On the other hand, he is now the heir of White Harbor. Even if he really has ideas, he can only hide them in his heart. Most of the male and female nobles in this world are profit creatures, especially the big nobles. How can they pursue so many things? Love is something that doesn't take care of one's own safety.

When the day comes when Clay has an army of 100,000 in his hands and a title so long that it makes people speechless, then he will most likely be able to freely decide on his own marriage issues. Now? Just bear with it...

If the typo is posted first and then corrected, the dog's head will save his life!

Let me also talk about the heroine issue. Although from my personal point of view, of course I praise free love (let me put it first), but in the world of Game of Thrones, consciously or unconsciously, it reflects the fact that nobles do not care about the freedom of their families. Love has no good consequences. Think about the reasons why the Usurper War broke out and the ending of Robb Stark. This is what it means.
