Chapter 266 The aftermath of founding the country and becoming king

The fact that Asha Greyjoy became the Lord of the Iron Islands attracted too much attention from the Seven Kingdoms, because another thing attracted all the attention of the Seven Kingdoms, this thing was Lynd Terra His wife Nymeria Fudli, Earl of Tengshi Town, announced the establishment of the Rhoynar Kingdom on the planet Na Sa in the Essos continent. The country was named Lorne. She herself was the queen, and Linde was the prince.

Only once in the past had a vassal proclaimed himself king in a foreign land, and that was with Daemon Targaryen, who at that time claimed to be King of the Narrow Sea and the Stepstones.

Now Nymeria's behavior looks very similar to Daemon Targaryen, but the two are essentially very different, because when Daemon Targaryen became king, there was no one in the Seven Kingdoms. Territory, but Nymeria controls a huge territory like Tengshi Town.

You know, Tengshi Town has now become one of the most prosperous cities in the inland areas of the Seven Kingdoms, and is also the second largest grain-producing area. Almost half of the food consumed in places such as King's Landing City and King's Land comes from Tengshi Town. Stone Town.

This is not the point. The point is that her husband is Lynde Terra. As the Earl of Summerhall and the Prince of the Narrow Sea and the Stepstone Islands, Lynde's status is equal to that of the Guardian Duke of the Seven Kingdoms, even because of all his The territory is completely in his own hands, and there are no feudal lords, making his true strength far beyond those of the guardian dukes.

So when the news that Nymeria established a kingdom on Narsa, proclaimed herself queen, and consecrated Lynd Terra, who was watching the ceremony, as Prince of Rhoynar, spread to the continent of Westeros, everyone who heard the news Everyone is guessing what Linde wants to do next, whether he will take action against the Iron Throne.

"Their actions have violated the laws of the Seven Kingdoms. We should take back the territories of Nymeria Fudley and Lynd Terra." At the Royal Council, Stanlis Targaryen was as tough as his They have the same personality, and the advice they give is tough.

Renly on the side smiled and said: "I also agree with the second brother's proposal, and I think since it was the second brother who proposed it, then this proposal should be implemented by you, second brother. You lead the people on Dragonstone Island. Fleet and army, go and take back the Stone Steps Islands first, and then take back Summer Hall and Tengshi Town. I think this should be a very simple matter for you. "

Faced with Renly's ridicule, Stanlis couldn't help but clenched his fist under the table and glared at Renly, his eyes so cold that he didn't look like he was looking at a blood brother.

"That's enough! Don't say such meaningless words here. We are here to discuss things, not here to watch you guys bicker." Robert glared at his two brothers, rubbed his forehead, and turned around. He looked at the other ministers in the Imperial Council and asked, "Whatever your opinions are, please speak up. Others are just like a piece of wood. You are the ministers of the Imperial Council, not the silent monks in the monastery."

Littlefinger Petyr Baelish said: "At this moment, Prince Lind and Count Nymeria are both in the distant star Na-Sa. There is no one in the territory who can really take care of things. If your Majesty wants to take action against Summer Hall, , now is the most appropriate time.”

Varys whispered softly: "Lord Petyr, I think you may not have carefully studied the power structure of Summer Hall. The power structure of Summer Hall is completely different from the power structure of any territory in the Seven Kingdoms. Even Lin Even if Prince De and Count Nymeria are absent from the territory for a long time, there will be no chaos within the territory. The army can also resist invasion and even launch foreign wars. The current Lord of the Iron Islands, Asha Greyjoy, is the best example. "As he spoke, he paused and added: "And more importantly, if force is used against Shengxia Hall at this time, what will the soldiers and garrison of Shengxia Hall do without the restraint of Prince Linde? Come on, no one knows."

"I also don't agree with the use of force against Summer Hall." Archmaester Pycelle, who rarely expressed opinions, suddenly said at this time: "The great plague has just passed, and the territories of the major kingdoms are recovering, and none of them have enough troops to support them. Our Iron Throne and the Iron Throne are not powerful enough to launch any war. And more importantly, the Chosen Linde has a very high reputation among the people and has been regarded as a savior by the vast majority of the people. If the Iron Throne is against him. If Lynde Terra uses force, I have no doubt that the front-foot army will leave King's Landing, and the people of the back-foot King's Landing will rush into the Red Keep and tear us into pieces."

After Pycelle's words fell, the room immediately fell silent. They had all ignored this important matter just now. Lind's reputation was so high now that it was unimaginable.

Not long ago, in the Temple of the Stars, the Temple of Redemption, the Temple of Miracles, and the High Seat Temple, the monks of the Church of the Seven Gods had erected a statue of Lind Terra in front of the emblem of the Seven Gods, similar in shape to the statue of the Storm God. , but there is another holy beast Glory beside him, and many other Seven Sacred Cathedrals have also erected statues of Lind Terra.

Only the Great Sept of Baelor has no plans to erect a statue of Lynd Terra because of the Iron Throne. However, the people of King's Landing continue to petition the Great Sept of Baelor to erect a statue of Lynd.

All signs indicate that Linde Terra's reputation among the people has reached the limit that a mortal can achieve, and his close relationship with the Church of the Seven Gods has reached the point where you are one of us, and you are one of me. Lind Terra's war is equivalent to war against the Church of the Seven Gods.

And the more important point is that the Iron Throne's war against Midsummer Hall will not gain the support of all the lords of the Seven Kingdoms. For example, the Reach and Dorne will never support them. The Stormlands and the Riverlands have also been fighting against Midsummer in recent years. The Hall is very close. Even if their lord supports the Iron Throne, the lords below will probably betray it, or even directly betray their lord and defect to the Summer Hall.

At this moment, the Summer Hall is like a sleeping beast. The best way to deal with it is not to disturb it and wake it up, otherwise the first person to wake it up will inevitably become its prey.

Jon Arryn, who had just recovered from a serious illness, said nothing from the beginning. He just observed everyone from the side. After everyone fell silent, he said: "Nymeria Fudley founded the country on Na Sa. As a self-proclaimed queen, this kind of thing has violated the laws of the kingdom and cannot be tolerated, and she must be deprived of her territory. "

After Jon Arryn said what he said, everyone was stunned. They all thought that the Hand of the King had fallen asleep just now. After talking so much, everyone came to the conclusion that they could not attack Summer Hall. , but now he is back to the original point as soon as he opens his mouth.

Just when Robert was about to remind Jon Arryn, Jon Arryn continued: "Earl Nymeria has married Prince Lynd, and her territory Tengshi Town has naturally been merged into Summer Hall. , What we have taken away is only the ownership of Earl Nymeria’s territory, but it does not involve Prince Lind’s ownership of Tengshi Town.”

After everyone heard this, they understood what Jon Arryn meant, and they all felt that Jon Arryn was worthy of being the Hand of the King. He actually came up with such a system that could punish those who violated the laws of the kingdom without offending others. people.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Prime Minister Jon then suggested: "Your Majesty, since Prince Lynd's son has made an engagement with Princess Myrcella, we can send the princess to live in Summer Hall for a period of time, so that she can adapt to the life in Summer Hall in advance."

Grand Maester Pycelle also nodded and said, "I also think this is a good way to make the relationship between the Baratheon family and the Terra family closer."

Varys and Littlefinger said nothing, but looked at Robert, while Stanlis and Renly had gloomy expressions.

However, Robert rejected this issue without hesitation and said: "No, Myrcella is too young to travel far. We will wait until she is older."

Seeing that Robert rejected the proposal, Prime Minister Jon said nothing more.

As the punishment decision at the Royal Council was announced, the lords of the Seven Kingdoms subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, because they were all very worried that the Iron Throne would lose its mind and attack the Summer Hall. In that case, there would be big trouble. Now this The punishment decision was the most appropriate. It not only punished Nymeria for claiming the throne without permission, but also did not affect the interests of Summer Hall. It also allowed the Iron Throne to retain face and uphold the laws of the Seven Kingdoms.

In the Queen's Palace on Na Sa Star, Linde received a letter from the Summer Hall and learned about what happened there.

"Jon Arryn is indeed the Hand of the King. A simple punishment decision perfectly solved this problem. It seems that the transfer letter I prepared is no longer needed." Nymeria has already changed into a new suit Roy pretended to be someone else. She looked at the letter that Lind handed over and smiled.

"Don't you have any ideas after losing Tengshi Town?" Lind looked at Nymeria and asked.

Nymeria smiled and said: "Isn't Tengshi Town still in your hands? What's the difference between you and me?"

Lind stared at Nymeria for a long time, then walked to the balcony, overlooking the entire Nasa star.

The current Nasa Star is completely different from the Nasa Star that Lind saw in the past. All the original ruined buildings have been repaired, the moss and vines covering the entire city have been cleared away, and the broken ground has been replaced with new ones. Stone slabs were cut from the quarry next to it, fountains were dredged, water channels were re-erected, bridges were built, the docks were completely repaired, the river was cleaned, hundreds of large and small boats sailed on the river, and a large number of people moved in, making this place The city that had been dormant for thousands of years came back to life.

"I know what you are thinking now," Nymeria walked to Lind's side, hugged Lind's arm, and said, "It is undeniable that I have been affected by the memories of my ancestors, and some changes have occurred in my personality and ideas. , but I am still Nymeria Fudley, your wife, and this will not change."

Linde did not speak, but just looked at Nymeria. This time he saw it through special vision. In his eyes, Nymeria exuded a strong magical aura, which was somewhat similar to Willas. The only difference is that the magical aura on Nymeria did not form an incarnation of Queen Rhoynar.

Obviously after Nymeria came to Na-Sa, the hidden power on the statue was transferred to Nymeria. If things go according to normal circumstances, Nymeria may become the second Willas and become The incarnation of her ancestor, but when the power was transmitted, some errors occurred. The dragon rune necklace on Nymeria had some effects, changing the transmission of power, and thus the hidden power on the statue and Nymeria Completely integrated.

Nymeria, who has integrated the hidden power, also has some magical abilities. For example, anyone with Rhoynar blood, no matter how thin the blood, will be attracted to Nymeria the moment they see her. The good impression is extremely close, just like seeing a relative, and this situation becomes stronger as the contact time increases. This is why Nymeria can so easily subdue the 100,000 Rhoynar survivors. .

In addition, there are some powers that are even more powerful. For example, she can control the water of the Rhoyne River like the ancient Rhoynar people's water magic, and can even easily trigger a flood. For example, in the Dagger Lake, she can Using this power, he flooded some caves on the island and drowned all the river pirates hiding in them.

Although Nymeria did not become the incarnation of some existence and gained some powerful abilities from it, this hidden force still subtly changed Nymeria. The biggest change was Nymeria's view of her hometown. emotion.

In the past, Nymeria had only one hometown, Tengshi Town, which was left to her by her mother, and which she was willing to protect with her life. But now the hometown in her heart is Na Sa Star. , which is why her reaction was so small when she learned that her territory had been taken away and the Fu Deli family's territory inheritance had ended.

Lind doesn't know much about Nymeria's situation now. He doesn't know whether the influence of the hidden power on Nymeria has ended or is continuing subtly.

"In a few days, I will return to Summer Hall, and Augustus will stay with you." Linde said suddenly.

"Just go back?" Nymeria had an unhappy look on her face.

Lind explained: "Asha has become the Lord of the Iron Islands. Large-scale reforms are needed there, otherwise it will be difficult for the Ironborn to change their pirate habits. I must sit in the Summer Hall and keep an eye on the situation there. In addition, the disputed land also needs a series of political reforms, so that we can firmly hold the land in our hands. I don’t want to lose it again after occupying it for a few days like those people in the past.”

"I'm pregnant." Nymeria stroked her belly and said in a deep voice, "It's twins."

The biggest advantage of Nymeria after integrating the secret power is that she can become pregnant with Lind's child quickly without any physical adjustments.

Lind looked at Nymeria's belly, his eyes became much gentler, and said, "I will be by your side during the months when you have the baby."

Seeing what Lind said, Nymeria didn't say anything more. She just hugged Lind's arm and watched the night view of Na Sa Star with him.
