Chapter 56: relatives by marriage
Veserys tore open the envelope and pulled out the contents, then unfolded it to watch.
Ferrego Antarion is the current Sea King.
Sea King of Braavos is the ruler of the free trade city of Braavos. His personal guard is known as the Chief Swordsman of Braavos. The one standing below Silio Freel with messy hair is Hold such an important position.
The current Braavos Sea King Ferrego Antares lives in the Neptune Hall in the city.
The title of Sea King is not hereditary. After the death of the previous Sea King, the new Sea King will be selected from all citizens by the Governor of Braavos and the watchman according to a mysterious and puzzling process.
Once he is selected as Sea King, he will serve for life until he dies.
And the letter Viselis is holding now is a letter from Ferrego Antares.
The content of the letter is not very long, and it expresses only a simple purpose.
And, Viselis can see that the timeliness of this letter seems to be a bit ‘expired’.
This letter from Ferrego Antarion was written before the expedition of the Veserys and the Targaryen fleet to Fort Wind's Rest.
After all, Braavos is also a long way from Longshi Island. After Aquaman got the news of this naval battle, it was too late to take back this letter.
And this letter is not written to him, it's just being written in his name.
After all, Veselis was a wandering king who had aspirations for the Iron Throne after he was crowned, and his blood was pure and legally impeccable.
But actually this letter was written to his mother, Queen Leila.
In the letter, the Sea King of Braavos persuaded Layla to take Visiris to abandon Dragonstone Island and come to live in Braavos.
Bravos will provide active protection and blessing to the descendants of the Dragon King, which is the more elegant title of ‘political asylum’.
At the same time, Neptune also implicitly stated in the letter that he might consider supporting Targaryen’s ‘righteous appeal’ for the Iron Throne of Westeros at ‘certain critical moments’.
The whole letter is eloquent, and it is in Valyrian. It seems that Neptune is still a bit more accurate than this messenger.
However, Vesselis looked at the whole **** in the letter without changing his face.
Bravos may really need them, a pair of poor orphans and widows, but it is definitely not for the reasons such as ‘justice’, ‘jurisprudence’ and so on as written in this letter.
Oris Baratheon, the first imperial prime minister after the conquest of the war, is an illegitimate child of Aegon I in ancient rumors, and also has the blood of Targaryen.
However, these are just rumors, there is no real evidence, and the illegitimate child does not have legal inheritance rights.
And the jurisprudence that Robert Baratheon relied on ascending the Iron Throne was his grandmother's blood.
Robert’s grandmother is Leilei Targaryen, the daughter of Aegon V, so he, as Targaryen’s ‘relative’, is qualified to be on the Iron Throne.
Robert is therefore more justified than the members of the Aylin family, the Tully family or the Stark family.
Viserys directly ignored the **** above, but he noticed that a person was mentioned vaguely at the end of this letter.
Ferrego Antares stated in the letter that he invited Queen Layla and Prince Viselis to Braavos, and then secretly arranged for a mysterious person to meet with Queen Layla and Viselis.
The identified identity is a Valyrian word similar to ‘in-law’, indicating that it is a ‘woman’s relative’.
Veserys’s Valyrian is still enough for daily communication, but after leaving the Red Fort, there is no such a communication environment and it will inevitably become unfamiliar.
He carefully figured out the meaning of Neptune's words, and then read it several times, it seemed that he had some understanding.
This is because his perspective on the letter is different. Veselis has always looked at the letter with himself as the center, but he didn't understand it for a while.
And now I wake up, if you look at this letter from the perspective of Queen Laila, the meaning of this sentence is very easy to understand.
Queen Leila's "in-law"?
Queen Leila has three children, Visiris and Daenerys, one is just a child and the other is even a baby. Only the eldest brother Rega has been married.
And although a lot of mess happened later, the in-laws certainly did not refer to the Stark family in the north.
"Dorn."
Veserys understood slightly, and the lumps between his eyebrows were also loosened.
"Doan actually wants to contact his mother?"
Viserys knew that the Iron Throne was negotiating with Dorn. In fact, Dorn had already been separated from Targaryen because of his father Iris and his brother Rega's sorrow.
But at this moment, Donn actually contacted Braavos to pull the line.
And Braavos, as the middleman, didn't know why he agreed to secretly arrange for Don and Targaryen to meet.
"But... Isn't their iron vault already loaned to the Iron Throne during this time?"
"Aren’t they afraid that the money won’t be collected?
still…
They want to use these to make a fuss, UU reading www.uukanshu.com manipulated the war to make the Iron Throne owe them more money.
Veserys pondered the whole thing carefully.
or again.
Bravos just simply didn't want the seven countries on the other side of the narrow sea to truly reunite, and give them a little trouble.
"This is a little bit subtle."
Veserys stretched his brows, holding the letter in his hand, and plunged into contemplation.
He doesn't know where the negotiations between Donne and the Iron Throne are now.
is even more unclear about Don's real attitude, whether he is really reconciling with the Iron Throne, or is just a fake.
And now Dorn took the initiative to contact Targaryen because it meant that Prince Doran, or was it just a group of people in the Martai family who were dissatisfied with the peace talks this time, and they were acting secretly.
He didn't know anything about it.
Veserys understands Don's cautiousness very well. After all, they are now negotiating with the Iron Throne. If a ship is sent directly to Longshi Island, then the negotiation will not be necessary, and Westeros will break out again.
but...
What this letter shows is not just that simple.
If Viserys understood it correctly, the letter meant that Queen Layla would take herself to Braavos and meet people from Dorn.
specifically pointed out that Targaryen and the Martai family are still relatives.
then used a name of pro above plus pro, indicating that it was a ‘woman’s relative’.
Veserys squeezed the letter in his hand, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"This...Does the Martai family have any daughters?"
"They won't look at themselves again, right."
