Chapter 113 Hatred and interests are also the basis for alliance

As Prince Doran Martell told Ser Balon Swann, the Falling Gardens was indeed the place where he spent most of his time in the world.

But he couldn't stay in the Water Garden all the time. Sometimes he had to go to the study room of the Old Palace to deal with some things.

"Father of Dragons?" Prince Doran put down the book in his hand.

"Have you heard my name?" Jack was surprised.

"I've heard some rumors that there are merchants who travel between Westeros and Essos, but I didn't know for sure who you were until it crawled in."

As he spoke, Prince Doran pointed behind Jack.

Jack looked back and found that Colak Xiu was stuck between the door frames of the study, and Ge was blocked by Cola Xiu.

Corakxiu did not go through the triple gate, it flew from the sky.

After Jack entered the old tower, Colak Xiu was a little anxious and rushed in directly, but he was stuck in the door frame of the study, and Ge, who was guarding the door, was helpless.

Jack's face was a little ugly, but he didn't expect that it was Colakhiu who made him lose face in the end.

"Sorry, Prince Doran, my child is a bit impatient."

Prince Doran shook his head, and then asked the guards around him to split the door frame, and then Colakxiu ran out.

After being freed, Corakxiu immediately came to Jack's side and stared closely at the guards behind Prince Doran.

Jack touched Colakhiu's head, and Colakhiu calmed down after being comforted.

Prince Doran was able to let Colaxio break in not because he trusted Jack more, but because the old tower was already surrounded by soldiers at this time.

If Jack took action against him, Jack would definitely be chopped into pieces by Dornish soldiers.

So at this time, force became the basis for the two to maintain trust.

Seeing that Colakxiu had regained his composure, Prince Doran motioned for Jack to sit wherever he pleased.

"You came all the way from Essos to win over Dorne." Prince Doran told Jack's purpose.

"Yes, I am saddened by what happened to Miss Elijah Martell. I know that you have never given up on revenge."

"So I'm here, with the intention of being the true master of the Iron Throne, to help you get revenge."

Prince Doran was not excited by this, and just said calmly: "I once tried to get Arianne to marry Viserys, but he died. Now Daenerys is also pregnant with your child, and there is no possibility of marriage. ”

Nothing in Sunspear could escape the eyes and ears of Prince Doran, including the conversation between Arianne and Jack at the docks.

"Alliance does not necessarily require marriage, it can also be hatred and interest."

Jack picked up the wine on the table and said, "Poseidon Brew, it only costs 6 gold dragons to purchase in Atlantis."

Prince Daolang was a little surprised, "Lu Jinlong?"

"That's right, Lu Jinlong, I'm sure of it."

"But I spent 98 gold dragons, and I think that although it is delicious, it is not much more than the wine of Dorne."

"98 Golden Dragon?" Jack was very surprised, "This stuff is the lowest level of Poseidon Brew."

"How do you know?" Prince Doran patted his forehead lightly, "I almost forgot that you are the king of Atlantis."

"Yes, this is the benefit I am talking about. We can cooperate. Atlantis will establish a factory in Dorne. The quality of life of the people of Dorne will be unprecedentedly improved, and the Martell family's tax revenue will also increase several times. ”

"Perhaps you will expand the dock by then, because the number of merchants coming and going will increase several times."

"As for hatred, I don't think I need to go into too much detail. If there is anyone in the world who hates Lannister and Baratheon the most, I think there is no one else except Martell and Targaryen!"

"But alliances without blood ties are unreliable, aren't they?"

Doran stared into Jack's eyes, "Dorn has lost a lot, how should I trust you?"

Once they agree to form an alliance with Daenerys, it means that all the families in Westeros will now be enemies of Dorne.

"Prince Doran, I think you misunderstood one thing. We have four dragons, tens of thousands of troops, endless golden dragons and endless food. We don't need Dorne to take back the Iron Throne."

"But we want to be more relaxed and want to get revenge for all the people who were framed by the Lannister and Baratheon families, you know what I mean?"

"It's an alliance, but it's more of a surrender!"

"So the reliability between us depends on whether your oath of allegiance is strong."

Jack's words made Prince Doran fall into silence. He liked peace, but he wanted to avenge his sister.

For this reason, his brother Oberyn Martell has already set off to King's Landing to attend Joffrey's wedding.

King's Landing is a purgatory full of hatred and conspiracy, but for Oberon, it is a paradise of revenge.

Perhaps due to Jack's time travel, the timeline of the world of ice and fire has been slightly deviated.

The Purple Wedding, which was supposed to take place in the 300th year of the Aegon Calendar, was postponed for two years and held in January 302.

The Red Wedding took place in the year 301 of the Aegon Calendar. The Red Wedding was the straw that broke the camel's back.

In this massacre, Robb Stark, King of the North, his mother Catelyn Tully and most of his 3,500 soldiers were brutally killed.

After the battle, Frey decapitated Robb and his direwolf Gray Wind, and sewed Gray Wind's head together with Robb's body, mocking Robb's connection with his direwolf.

The Freys also slit Lady Catelyn's throat, stripped her naked and threw her into the Trident River to mock the Tully family's custom of water burial.

This incident originated from Robb Stark's betrayal of the marriage contract with the Frey family, and Lord Walder Frey regarded this as an insult to the Frey family, so he carefully planned the massacre.

Lord Tywin Lannister manipulated this matter behind the scenes.

His secret support gave Walder Frey protection and courage to violate the sacred guest rights.

Since the Red Wedding, Winterfell has changed hands again. The sea monster flag of the Greyjoy family no longer flutters, and it has been replaced by the red flayer flag of the Bolton family.

Roose Bolton was named the Duke of the North, but he was not recognized by the nobles and civilians of the North. The Stark family has ruled the North for 8,000 years, and its influence on the North cannot be dissipated overnight.

Walder Frey also gained many benefits from it, including granting Riverrun to Genna Lannister's husband Emmon Frey.

At the same time, this incident also completely destroyed the last bit of honor of the Frey family, because they tarnished one of the oldest and most sacred traditions in Westeros, the guest rights.

After this, the Frey family was disgusted and hostile by most families in Westeros, including their allies.

In addition, although no family wanted to break this right again, this incident still gave this ancient right a lasting negative impact, because in a strange castle, the safety of guests is no longer so completely guaranteed.

For example, if Jack was not strengthened by Korakshu and the serum, even if Arianne Martell was a hostage, he would not choose to enter Sunspear.
