Chapter 237: Letter from Prince Doran

The content of Prince Daolang's letter is not complicated. It probably brought his own greetings and blessings. I hope the two young people can get along well.

But at the same time, Prince Daolang also mentioned some situations in the Seven Kingdoms in the letter.

Winter is here.

This is an unavoidable disaster for the entire world. Even if the Essos continent does not border the Land of Everwinter, the impact is not too great, but the temperature still has a very significant drop.

Veselis looked at the back of Arianne leaving, then looked at the withered flowers in the garden, and finally returned his gaze to the letter written by Prince Doran.

This letter from Prince Doulang was written a long time ago.

The Northern Territory was most directly affected by the advent of this winter. At that time, Duke Ned Stark of Winterfell wrote to King's Landing for help, and King Robert ordered the requisition of food from the Bay to the North to help the North. The people of the environment have spent the cold and severe winter together.

I have to say that Robert is still quite righteous to his good brother. He did not choose to stand by when the Northern Territory needed help the most, but instead actively helped.

But the bag that King Robert unwrapped was not his own pockets, but the food of the Duke of Tyrell in the Bend.

Anyway, everyone knows that the Duke of Tyrell is a big dog family, especially when it comes to food. The pleasant climate and the fertile river bays are the main food production areas of the Seven Kingdoms.

However, although King Robert was generous, he did not completely regard Duke Tyrell as a bully.

Later, as compensation to Robert Baratheon, Maes Tyrell was given a ‘Queen’s position’.

Of course it wasn't Robert who wanted to marry the white and stupid Duke Tyrell, but he made a marriage contract for the children in advance.

King Robert proposed that his eldest son Joffrey and Margaret Tyrell, the daughter of the Duke of Metz of the Tyrell family, make a marriage contract.

According to the laws of the Seven Kingdoms and the traditional customs on the continent of Westeros, if there is no accident, Joffrey Baratheon will be the next king of the Seven Kingdoms.

Therefore, King Robert compensated the Tyrell family as a queen that was difficult to buy, and at the same time contributed to the marriage of the two families.

The Tyrell family is also very satisfied with this, they also need a future queen position to consolidate the family's right to speak in the Seven Kingdoms.

However, King Robert's moves are not limited to these. Obviously, there are capable people among his imperial ministers, who foresee in advance that there will be a war around the Iron Throne in the future.

Therefore, the other party made suggestions for King Robert to help him consolidate his current basics.

At the same time, they must take the initiative in their diplomatic strategy and actively seek ways to encircle Targaryen.

Lobbying other free trade city-states headed by Braavos, being vigilant or even hostile to Targaryen, and actively infiltrating the opponent's forces.

There is a secret connection between Dorn and Targaryen. This is a secret that everyone in the Seven Kingdoms knows but has not made public.

However, King Robert’s cronies, after the recommendation of former prime minister Jon Allyn, who recently became the "littlefinger" in front of him, Petil Berishi, did not advocate doing anything against Dorne this winter.

First, because Dorn’s geographical environment is complex, the climate is arid, and Dorn’s folk customs are sturdy, Aegon the conqueror once encountered a bloodshed here.

Second, the time of winter is not suitable for expeditions. Now it is dreadful winter, and the seven countries have a poor harvest. Even if the river is rich, it is impossible to support so many people in the seven countries.

If at this time, the young people in the family were transferred to Dorn to fight, it would almost make the poor families perish themselves.

At that time, if Dorn couldn't beat him down, I'm afraid the noble lords' hometown would be messed up.

Therefore, Petir Berishi came up with a bold idea to make a marriage contract between Princess Messara Baratheon, who was just born last year, and Quentin Martel, the eldest son of Prince Don Daurang.

However, Belishi’s strategy was immediately opposed by King Robert and Queen Cersei.

"Seven levels of hell! You idiot!"

"Mesela is only one year old this year and she is still drinking milk in the arms of the lady of Cersei, and the kid of the Martell family is ten years old this year!"

Robert sat on the main seat of the round table and took a sip of the wine.

咚——

Then he threw the wine glass heavily on the table, and the wine splashed out, and at the same time he yelled.

The difference between the two people is a whole nine years old, although this is nothing for the nobles' marriage game.

Don't say it is nine years old, even if it is twenty years old, there are many people who are 30 years old.

However, perhaps because Robert had just drunk a lot of wine, his head was a little dizzy at the moment, and he didn't even notice what he said, and the faces of the two people present were all black.

One is the old prime minister Jon Allyn, who married his adopted son Ned and sisters of the Tully family during the War of the Usurpers.

The other is Queen Cersei, whom Robert calls "the girl".

The blond woman with noble temperament looked a little ugly, gave her husband who had drunk too much, and a deep disgust was revealed in her eyes.

However, Cersei hid well and did not attack on the spot.

Then he took a deep breath and looked at Petir Belishi who had come up with the idea. He gently bit his white teeth and said in a cold voice.

"Master Belish, the place in Dorne hates the king and the Lannister family."

"And my daughter is just one year old, so you dare to hit her on the idea?"

Cersei tilted her head slightly and stared at her little finger tightly, seeing that there was some hairiness all over Belishi, and then quickly stood up and raised her hands to explain.

"Your Majesty the King~www.NovelMTL.com~Your Majesty Queen, please be patient and listen to me to finish."

Petir Belishi was a little flustered in his heart, but on the surface he still remained calm and explained loudly.

"Princess Mesala is only one year old now, and of course she will not marry Prince Quentin now."

"Even if you want to marry, you will have to wait until Princess Mesela's menarche arrives, and that will happen more than ten years later."

"This is just an opportunity to win over the Martell family, and at the same time create a gap between the Targaryen and the Martell family."

Littlefinger tried his best to explain his strategy.

He is not trying to sell the princess in exchange for peace, but a divorce and mitigation strategy.

"The Martell family asked Viselis for a position as a queen that is still invisible, but did not receive a positive response, and His Majesty gave Dorne a visible and tangible princess."

"By then, I am afraid Donne will have to think about it. The hatred can be let go, but the benefits are eternal."
