Chapter 749: Vassal duchy

Latest URL: So many years have passed.

Earth-shaking changes have taken place in the ancient old city. The city walls have extended outward to expand the scale of the city, magnificent spectacles have risen from the ground, and the children who used to play the game of knights have grown up to become heroic teenagers.

"His Majesty."

A young man with blue eyes, red-brown hair, and a sturdy body, his face was serious and meticulous, first knocked on the door, and then opened the door to speak.

"The person has already been brought."

This red-brown haired boy was Robb Stark, Viselis's attendant. He had been with Viselis for several years, and now he has grown up at the age of sixteen.

Maybe it won't take long before he will leave King's Landing and return to his hometown to succeed the post of Governor of the Northern Territory.

Of course, this is what Robb has always been looking forward to.

Today the Governor of the North is still in the custody of Lord Ricard Kastark, although his mother Mrs. Caitlin told him Lord Ricard is trustworthy, and Ricard Kastark regularly writes to Robb Xin, report to him the situation in the north.

But Robb still feels that power should be held in his own hands to be at ease, and he doesn't like Rickard Kastark calling him the "Young Master" in the letter, and he still faintly coaxes a child between the lines. Usually coax him.

"I'm not a kid!"

"I have grown up!"

Therefore Robb roared loudly in his heart every time he received a letter from the north.

But now his mother, Mrs. Catelyn, has returned to Winterfell with her younger siblings, and Robb has no one to confide in.

He couldn't tell these to his sister Sansa who was the queen's maid, so he could only hold the anger in his heart.

And so many years have passed, everyone's and things are changing, and Viselis will naturally not remain unchanged.

He was sitting on the chair with his back to the desk, rubbing his fingers lightly, as if he was looking at the distant sea, but in fact he was closing his eyes and rested, because he could see the sea outside without his eyes.

In a few years, Veserys' appearance has not changed much. If he insists on saying that, it is because there are many unshaved stubble marks on the chin and lips.

However, compared with a young man who stood aside deliberately and pretended to be mature at this moment, the changes in Veserys' aura were even more dramatic.

He doesn't need something like a beard as a symbol of proving a man's maturity and majesty. He just sits there without opening, or a movement of his fingers, or the slight changes in his eyes can make people restless.

And now Robb Stark brought him the same captain of the Stormrage who was talking in the Throne Hall yesterday. Asha trusted his right hand, ‘one-eyed’ Romy Parker.

He carries an important mission. These cannot be told on the throne room of five hundred people, as Tyrion Lannister, the personal adviser to his Majesty the Emperor, told them yesterday.

Tyrion will relay this on his behalf, so that today Viselis will find him alone.

"His Majesty."

Although he had already seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire in the throne room yesterday, the meeting alone today caused a surge of tension in the hearts of the illegitimate son of the Iron Islands with a black eye patch.

After all, because of his origin, it would be impossible for him to set foot in the Throne Hall in his entire life if it weren't for a coincidence, let alone meet the imperial emperor in the palace alone.

"His Majesty."

"Master Asha Greyjoy asked me to bring this..."

Then Romy Parker fetched a letter from his arms, which was covered with the Greyjoy family's seal of mud, and then passed it to Robb Stark as an attendant.

Robb took the letter in his hand and briefly said it should not have been poisoned, and then handed it respectfully to Visiris.

And Veserys took the letter, with a light swipe of his finger, he cut the envelope with precision like a knife, and then pulled out the letter paper in it. All Asha Greyjoy wanted to say The words are all on it.

After reading the entire letter, Veselis' eyes flickered slightly, and there was no word for a while.

On the other side, Robb Stark glanced at the illegitimate son of the Iron Isles beside him. As for the one-eyed captain, he was blank, because he didn't know what was written in the letter.

"Asha Greyjoy...good for the expedition, good for the pioneering."

"Canonized as the Grand Duke of the Midsummer Islands, enjoys inheritance from generation to generation, shadow and descendants."

Viserys sat behind the desk and read the letter without speaking for a while, and then he said.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he canonized Asha Greyjoy a highest-ranking title that the empire had never canonized since its establishment, even better than the Duke of Midsummer Hall canonized by Reness and the Duke of Longstone Island canonized by Daenerys. Even bigger.

Because Asha was successful in the expedition, Visiris had promised her a high position before she left. After returning, the castles in the Seven Kingdoms could be picked at will.

She has always wanted to realize her dream of being knighted as a woman and called ‘adult’.

However, Asha's expedition this time went by accident, or it was a coincidence that he opened up a vast land and directly captured the entire Midsummer Islands and became the unique queen on the Midsummer Islands.

Naturally, Viselis would not be so greedy and shameless to grab land with his subordinates.

What's more, the Midsummer Archipelago is not the land owned by the Iron Throne, and even the Freedom Fortress of Valyria has not conquered and ruled this land, although the distance is not too far.

Perhaps it was because the land was barren at that time, and the dragon kings of Valyria didn't like it.

Therefore, this is Asha’s own pioneering work~www.NovelMTL.com~ and it should be regarded as her own land. On the surface, this letter written by Asha is to report the results of the war to the emperor of the empire, but in fact it is written in between the lines. It's "Quickly praise me".

Therefore, Veserys is not stingy, and directly canonized Asha Greyjoy the title of Grand Duchess, enjoying the inheritance from generation to generation. It is a real country, and the Principality of the Midsummer Islands is included in the scope of the Empire's vassal. Inside.

Theoretically, the Principality of the Midsummer Islands will need to provide confessions to the empire from now on, and the empire also needs to provide protection to its vassal states, but because the two sides are too far apart, there is a high probability that it is only a formal relationship.

However, the Principality of the Midsummer Islands has been firmly anchored in the summer sea as an empire's nail or outpost, and no one can easily remove it.

And also brought the influence of the empire along the sea to more distant places, such as Slave Bay, Sosros Continent, Quells, and even the countries and regions around the Jade Sea, Greater Morakot Island, Thunder Road, and the Golden Kingdom. etc.

The goal that Veselis wanted from the beginning has actually been achieved or even overfulfilled, so naturally he will not be stingy.
