The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Chapter 520: King's Will

"Sansa is a simple child," Will said.

"Yes, she is very simple, but she is no longer a child. If you can marry her, you will get the loyalty of the people of the North. Think about it, the Legion of the Great Wall of Impasse plus the North, this will form the most powerful force. , And a marriage is profitable but not harmful. In this way, the other six nations dare not underestimate it, and you have the confidence to lead the Seven Nations Army."

"I have thought of a way to gather the power of the four countries without having to go through marriage." Will said lightly.

"Which four countries?"

"North, West, Valley, Riverland."

"How to unify the power of the four countries?"

"Ghoul!"

"I don't understand your plan."

"You will understand."

"Master Will, can you tell me about your plan?"

"it is good!"

After half an hour, Melisandre understood all of Will's plans.

"You can only use this method to conquer the Four Kingdoms, but in fact it is not the Four Kingdoms, but only the Valley and the West. The North and Hejian are originally a family. As for the valley..." Will sees that Meili Shanzhuo I swallowed what I wanted to say, "Mrs. Lysa in the Valley has already succumbed, and the West has also succumbed."

"Neither the west nor the valley gave in. Even if I went to the west and the valley, the nobles would not succumb to me. They would be the same as Mrs. Caitlin. Even if they respected on the surface, they still look down on me in their bones."

"But if you marry Sansa, it's different."

"I can't marry Sansa."

"you can!"

"Neither Caitlin nor Ed Stark agree, it will cause conflicts between us."

"They will agree."

"What do you see in your flames?" Will doubted.

"They will agree, Lord Will," Melisandre insisted. Her answer was no answer, and she avoided talking about the flame vision that Will wanted to know.

"Sansa believes in the Red God?"

"No, she is from the North, and I will not change her belief. That is a mistake you warned me about. I just have some little magic to make her fall in love."

"You will let Mrs. Caitlin believe in the Red God?"

"I will not forcefully change anyone's beliefs. If they want to believe in the Red God, I hope it is because the Red God has responded to their prayers, not because of the strong promotion of my magical power."

A few days later, Will and Robb headed south with the ghoul cart.

In the army of the troops going south, there was a woman in a red robe but with a hood covering her face. No one could see her face clearly from under the hood.

But Lord Will respected her and called her Mrs. Meili.

Mrs. Meili was originally Sansa Stark's maid, but she was actually a powerful prophet. She came to Winter City to wait for Lord Will to arrive.

She came to follow Lord Will from a foreign land in the narrow sea, and the goal was to fight the ghosts with Lord Will in the winter.

Before Will and Robb led one thousand and five hundred cavalry soldiers to leave Winterfell and go south, the figure table hall of Dragonstone Castle on Dragonstone Island was crowded with people.

Dragon Stone Island is the only fief of the heir to the throne of the Targaryen Dynasty, so it is also called Prince Island.

Dragon Stone Island was once the fief of Stannis I, where Princess Shirin grew up.

Ed Stark was seated by Princess Shilin, and then he took out the wax-sealed will of Stannis I and handed it to the fearless Sir Barristan Selme.

Barristan Selmi is the Royal Forest Tiewei, who has the most power to check the authenticity of the will wax seal.

Barristan verified that it was correct. After he swore to the old and new gods to verify it with his honor, he respectfully handed back the will of Stannis I to Ed Stark.

When Stannis’s will was written down, according to the law, it must be witnessed by at least two imperial ministers in order to be legal. Among them, Barristan Selmi is one of the witnesses, and the other It was the Grand Master Meili Shandro at the time.

This will was also handed over to Bran Stark, the designator of the will, by Melisandra at the last moment.

Ed Stark then handed his will to Sir Ronald Clinton, Secretary of the Sea and Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy.

When the imperial ministers were unable to gather together, as long as three imperial ministers were present at the same time, the king's order could be activated. The king’s will is also a form of order.

Ed Stark is the hand of the eternal king. The captain of the Royal Forest Guard, Barristan Selme, and the Minister of State of Shanghai, Sir Ronald Clinton, are all present. According to the law, the king is opened. The requirements of his will have been met.

This procedure and the contents of the will, everything is legal from the start.

Although it was written on the wax seal that it was a will to Bran Stark, the people of Bran Stark were lighthearted. He gave the honor of dismantling Stannis I's will to his father Ed Stark.

As the hand of the eternal kings of the Seven Kingdoms, Ed Stark is indeed the best candidate to open the will.

Ed Stark regretted that the Attorney General Alister Florence and the Earl of Onion Seaworth were not present.

Sir Ronald Clinton carefully checked the wax seal of the will and the seal of the king. He nodded and said: "In the name of the seven gods, in the names of all the old gods, in the names of the Andals, the Roinas And the king of the ancestors, the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and the guardian of the entire territory, the name of the ancestor Stannis I of the Baratheon family, I, the earl of Griffin Castle and the Minister of the Seas, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy Nader Clinton swears here that the will of King Stannis is true and valid and verifies it."

Ronald Clinton swears and returns the will to Ed Stark.

Everyone in the hall seemed to shut their breath.

Except for Barristan, no one knows what is written in the will that Stannis left to the designated person Bran Stark.

In the crowd in the hall, there are many king-lead officers, nobles, as well as the commander of the East China Sea from the Great Wall, Carter Pike and his men, as well as famous knights under the banner of the northern nobles.

Ed Stark's gaze slowly swept across the audience. He saw Tyrion Lannister, Bologne, Jon Snow, Yergret, Ding Dong, who wanted to win the title through battle. Royal Forest Guardian Bran Stark, Princess Shireen, Fearless Barristan Selmi, Maritime Minister Ronald Clinton, Commander-in-Chief Carter Pike of Tokaiwang, Brine of Tarth, The knight Haile Hunter of the River Bay, the commander-in-chief of the garrison of King’s Landing, Jory Kelso, some of the court officials, the commander of the mercenary regiment who was forced to swear allegiance, the Prince Yuyi and his officers... …

The audience is quiet.

Everyone is in a strange mood.

Ed Stark slowly opened the will of Stannis I, and everyone's eyes fell on Ed.

The content of the will will determine the direction of this country.

Ed Stark read the letter with the same expression as before. When he looked away from the will, his eyes filled with mixed emotions and stared at Bran Stark.

Bran Stark was shocked, but he straightened his waist. Beside him, sitting Icefield Wolf Summer, a pair of indifferent eyes is daunting.

"Sir Barristan Selmi, you come to read the will of King Stannis I!" Ed Stark handed his will to Barristan Selmi.
