Chapter 164 Borisaf: Just have some fun!

The "political competition" between Tormund and Segon not only aroused dissatisfaction among the nobles in their own territories, but also caused dissatisfaction among other nobles who came to seek refuge with Jack.

Several nobles even found Jack and specifically reported Tormund and Segon's ridiculous practices.

Before Jack could say anything, these people were scolded by Lyanna Mormont.

Lyanna Mormont manages Bear Island. The taxes on Bear Island are very low. Even in the first half of the year, the tax was only 10%, and there was only land rent tax and no other messy taxes.

Bear Island was so poor. During that time, it was difficult for the residents of Bear Island to even catch fish. Lyanna Mormont even had to open warehouses to support them, not to mention paying taxes.

So Lyanna herself believes that reducing taxes is a sign of a lord's integrity and kindness. After all, if he can't even take care of his own subjects, what qualifications do he have to call himself a lord?

Of the five viscounts who came to complain, one of them showed a deep sense of shame, and another was very angry and left angrily with 80 of his soldiers. The remaining three all showed resentment. expression.

At that time, Lyanna was not afraid of the three of them at all. She not only stared back, but also scolded the three of them again.

Although Lyanna didn't take this matter to heart, it was remembered by Jack.

The viscount who left angrily was surrounded and killed by a group of bandits on the way, while the other three nobles were closely monitored.

After being scolded and ridiculed by Lyanna, not only did he not leave, but he continued to stay in Hearth City. Doesn't this clearly indicate that there was something fishy.

Hearth City, Jack's study.

"Okay, okay, you like to play conspiracy, right? Are you my opponent, Liu Huaqiang Poseidon?"

"Since we want to play, let's have fun, just in time to scare the monkeys and let everyone know that the punishment of being eaten alive by the dragon is not a scare."

Jack looked at the letter in his hand and mocked disdainfully.

The letter Walker gave him just now was intercepted from the messenger crow released by Viscount Cassinoa.

Viscount Cassinoa was one of the viscounts who showed resentment at the beginning. Later, Jack arranged for people to monitor him closely and also bribed his aide-de-camp Sir Goodwin Holt.

The letter contained Cassinoa's oath of allegiance to Roose Bolton, followed by Cassinoa's plan.

He decided to team up with the other two viscounts to find an opportunity to assassinate Jack and Lyanna Mormont, who was the first to defect to Jack, as a gift for surrendering to Roose Bolton.

He also promised in the letter that he would bring the head of one of Jack and Lyanna to seek refuge.

He only asked Roose Bolton to make the three of them lords of Deepwood Motte, Hearth City, and Cahor City.

However, the letter changed hands and was handed over to Jack by Goodwin Holt.

Because Jack promised to reward Goodwin Holt with all Cassinoa's territory, castle and women as long as he discovered the whole situation of Cassinoa's treason.

Goodwin Holt was not interested in Cassinoa's castle and territory. He had already had a relationship with Cassinoa's wife, and he had an inextricable obsession with Cassinoa's wife.

Even Cassinoa's two current daughters are the product of his affair with Cassinoa's wife.

Cassinoa's wife had calculated the time and gave birth to twin daughters directly for Goodwin Holt.

What later distressed Goodwin Holt was that Cassinoa did not die in the battle south.

Goodwin Holt was about to give up, but Jack's bodyguard suddenly found him and coerced him into being an undercover agent.

In the end, Goodwin Holt suppressed his inner excitement and pretended to be sad and accepted Jack's "coercion and inducement".

As everyone knows, in Goodwin Holt's view, this is not a coercion or inducement at all, but a combination of inducement + inducement that he cannot refuse.

Jack then asked Borisav to call Lyanna Mormont.

After Borisav nodded, the wanderer lost his way in Hearth City for a while before finding Lyanna's residence.

"Lord Lyanna, Your Majesty is calling you." Borisav shouted while knocking on the door.

After a while, Lyanna opened the door, looked up at Borisav, and asked drowsily: "Is His Majesty going to hold a meeting? When will he go?"

Lyanna was obviously woken up from her sleep. Her voice was soft and waxy. At this time, Lyanna looked more like a 12-year-old little lolita than an earl.

"No, His Majesty called you alone. I don't know what the specific matter was, but I heard His Majesty say it was fun, it just happened."

Lyanna's sleepiness immediately dissipated, and she looked up in disbelief at Borisav, who was tall but seemed a bit naive.

At this moment, Lyanna's thoughts changed rapidly. She felt that it might not be what she thought, but the idiot in front of her didn't look like he was good at lying.

Recalling that Jack often chatted with her during this period, she suddenly became more convinced of her idea.

Given Jack's looks and personality, Lyanna doesn't hate Jack, it can even be said that she likes him.

In this era, no woman would reject a young king who combines appearance, character, age, wealth, and power.

However, she is only 12 years old now and has not even had her menarche yet. How can she do such a thing?

However, Lyanna followed Borisav to Jack's study.

"Your Majesty, Count Lyanna is here, I'm going out first." Walker said, and left Jack's study with Borisav.

"Little Lyanna, I haven't seen you for a day. Do you miss me?" Jack said hello first.

Although there was no danger in letting Lyanna serve as bait with him, Jack was still a little embarrassed to speak.

Then Jack said with a slight hesitation: "I have something to discuss with you. If you don't want to, I won't force you to do it. I can just do it."

Lyanna's heart flashed, secretly thinking that this was indeed the case.

Then, in order to avoid the two of them being embarrassed when Jack revealed his purpose, she directly answered first:

"Your Majesty, I am too young and my menarche has not yet come. Can you wait two years? I. I can use other methods. I also learned some when my mother taught my sister before.

But in exchange, can you give House Mormont a piece of land they can farm? There is no need for fertile land, just ordinary land that can be cultivated. This is my requirement! "

Lyanna's face turned red as she said these words, knowing what she meant when she said them.

Lyanna knew that Atlantean law allowed Poseidon to marry multiple wives.

If Jack asks her to be his wife, Lyanna will not refuse, but in exchange, Jack must give up a piece of land that is suitable for farming and can feed everyone on Bear Island.
