Chapter 591 Situation
"Your uncle has done a good job this time."
After reading the information in his hand, Viserys put the letter on the candle and lit it.
The firelight illuminated his cheeks, and then he threw it to the ground and turned to ashes before he looked up.
"Uncle Oberyn?"
And Queen Arianne, who was sitting opposite Viserys, had just read the information, but her face did not show much joy, but a worried look.
"But I think some of his punishments are too cruel."
"For example, the heir of Stonehelm, Balon Sven, I don't think it's a big deal to let him go. After all, he helped us kill Stannis."
Arianne thought that Balon Swain was just an insignificant character, and killing him or letting him go would not affect the bigger picture.
She didn't understand why Oberyn didn't choose to let the other party go, but had to put him to death. Viserys gave Oberyn full authority before leaving King's Landing. He had great autonomy and no one would interfere.
"Will Lord Gulian Swan rebel because of this?"
"It was his last son after all."
Under the bright candlelight, the beautiful Queen Dorn said worriedly.
"Yes or no, it doesn't matter, Oberyn knows what he's doing and what role he plays."
However, Viserys just shook his head slightly and said.
"As you said, Arianne, I don't need to think about how Gulian Swain feels."
"If he forbears, let him live. If he is dissatisfied and wants to rebel, then kill him."
"It happened to have the effect of killing chickens and warning monkeys. The unification of the seven countries does not mean that the soldiers have been relieved and returned to the fields."
In fact, because of the New Deal, the belligerence of the soldiers was unprecedentedly high. Although there was no major war in the Seven Kingdoms, small conflicts continued to occur. For example, a certain village was slaughtered and looted, a certain noble daughter was kidnapped, etc. .
Yesterday, Gu Di just rushed to send a few heads and a pair of bronze armor, which belonged to the last remnant of the Royce family in Runestone City.
After the war in the valley, Jon Royce and his eldest son were buried in the civil war, and his second son Robert Royce led the soldiers to escape back to Runestone City, and then closed their doors.
Then Sir Lynn Corbray volunteered to lead the army to attack Runestone City. It took a month to finally conquer the fortified castle and cut down Robert Royce and his younger brother Weima Roy. s head.
And the former squire of Sir Lynn Cobray, now Michelle Redford, Earl of Red Base under the 'support' of Earl Jon Royce, beheaded his wife with his own hands in fear. Announcing a complete separation from the Royce family to prevent being implicated.
Michelle's actions made the nobles of the valley a little despised, but his decisive actions still had an effect, and he was not implicated in the action of purging Jon Royce's henchmen.
The heads of Robert, Weimar, and Yasina Royce, as well as the ancestral bronze armor of the Royce family, were rushed to the High Court.
However, Viserys didn't feel much about this either. He just glanced at it, and then waved his hand to let the soldiers bury the three heads. As for the bronze armor with a long history, he kept it.
He didn't actually want to sack the Royce family and exterminate them. He just took back the Runestone City. However, he didn't expect that this group of valley nobles who had just surrendered wanted to prove themselves. Perhaps they were also fanatical converts and used too much force. The Royce family was beheaded.
Viserys didn't hate Count Jon Royce so much, even if the other party had caused him a lot of trouble, on the contrary, he was somewhat optimistic about this person. If Jon Royce would surrender, the valley would The Governor may not be able to sit down with Littlefinger either.
But unfortunately, this 'Bronze Yon' was on the wrong team, which eventually led to a dead end.
And the Royce family, who once gave birth to the "Valley, the Five Fingers Peninsula and the High King of the Mingyue Mountains", also disappeared from the long history.
However, Viserys does not feel sorry for him, everyone should be responsible for their own choices, especially when he is the patriarch and commander of the entire army, he has more responsibilities on his shoulders.
"The nobles of King's Landing are too annoying, but there is enough time to hide here and ask for peace."
Viserys teased his daughter, and the infant babbled to grab him, but was avoided.
Diana flattened her mouth, and Viserys hurriedly sent her fingers over and grabbed her father. Diana smiled, and her violet eyes were pure and untouched.
"Yeah-"
In this world, Viserys is the only one who can make Viserys willingly submit to this little princess, and the silver-haired young man could not help but smile slightly, pinched his daughter's cheek, and then said.
"Left tomorrow and return to King's Landing."
Although the current public trial is the most high-profile event in King's Landing and even in the whole of Westeros, the operation of the entire country will certainly not be stopped because of this.
Political activity in King's Landing continues, and emissaries from trading city-states as far away as Slaver's Bay and the Summer Isles have been waiting at the Red Keep for a long time.
The messenger of the free trade city-state naturally came to congratulate Viserys for unifying the Seven Kingdoms, while the messenger of Slave Bay came to communicate with the Iron Throne normally.
As for the news of Midsummer Islands, it is even more closed. They are here to watch the fun and want to see what the legendary White Walkers are?
And Viserys returned to King's Landing in a low-key manner. It is not so easy for these messengers waiting here to see His Majesty the King.
Originally, these messengers were still a little dissatisfied with being left outside, but when they found that the messengers of Braavos and the Iron Vault were also waiting outside the door as obediently as they were, all their dissatisfaction disappeared.
The messenger of the Iron Vault met with Viserys in the Throne Hall, and he brought with him the official paperwork to forgive the money owed to the Iron Throne.
At the same time, in order to demonstrate the friendship between Braavos and the Targaryen family, they were willing to provide an interest-free loan of no less than one million gold dragons to help the royal family resume building the country, which aroused the surprise and shock of the nobles of the seven countries present. You must know that the iron vault has always been a bargain.
The messenger of Braavos and the messenger of the Iron Vault separated and handed over a handwritten letter from their sea king, Tormo Fregar.
"understood."
The content written on it was about the verbal agreement made by the two people. Viserys nodded and said nothing after reading it. He just put the letter on the fire and burned it.
And the Braavos messenger seemed to be a close associate of Tormo Fregar, and he also did not say a word, bowed and then retreated.
