Under the concerted efforts of the Earl guards, the Mountain Gregor's struggle could not last long.
His movements began to become more sluggish.
Dodge saw the opportunity and was the first to pounce bravely, knocking the unstable the Mountain off his feet.
The latter's body balance was destroyed, and the guards worked together again, but Gregor could no longer withstand it and finally fell to the ground.
The stone ground was shaken slightly by his impact, and dust was everywhere.
When he reached the ground, he still refused to give up and was still twisting wildly. Behind Dodge and others, several more big men were quickly pulled out and piled on Gregor's back.
Upon seeing this, Rosso rushed to Gregor's side, raised his foot and kicked him hard on the head.
Amidst the muffled sound of "Bang!", Gregor's head shook back, his body movements paused and slowed down, and he still bared his teeth and wanted to bite someone.
Rosso cursed lowly, took a step back, and wanted to follow up with another flying kick.
Wenda is one step faster than him.
The female captain made a standard football kicking posture, and hit Gregor hard on the temple with the front end of her cavalry boots.
This time, it worked.
Gregor's eyes slowly closed and he fell under the iron feet of Captain Wenda.
The original struggling movements also stopped as his consciousness faded, leaving only the sound of rough breathing that gradually became inaudible.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and slumped down on the bloody ground on Giants's back and side, their clothes soaked with sweat.
Rosso secretly twisted his numb ankle and signaled others to use the chains to tie Gregor·Clegane on the ground. The locking mouth turned to look at Lady White Eagle who kicked Giants unconscious. There was still some lingering fear in his tone. "Captain, this monster is too evil, why not just kill it?"
Wenda walked up to the bound Gregor and kicked his arm, which was about the same thickness as his waist, to confirm that he had fallen into a coma.
He glanced at the tragic scene in the nursery, then looked at Princess Elia in the back with a bloody nightgown and a sad face, and slowly shook his head. "This guy killed Rhaegar's youngest son, and also wanted to molest Princess Dorne - he is a living proof of the Westerlands people's abuse of violence. We have to keep him first, Earl will use it."
Wenda took his dagger back to his waist and had no intention of cutting the Mountain's throat on the spot----
After a while.
Maegor's Holdfast, The Queen's Ballroom.
The wide hall here can accommodate a hundred people. The wall behind the candlesticks is lined with several polished silver mirrors, which triple the intensity of the surrounding candles. The south wall is lined with several graceful arched windows.
In the ballroom, there were only two people at the moment. When Maegor's Holdfast arrived, they found that the shrewd and capable captain Wenda had already taken care of everything Starpike Earl Titus·Peake;
And Elia Martell, who had just comforted his three-year-old daughter who was frightened and hid under the bed, was brought here by Captain Wenda to meet Earl.
The former crown concubine of House Targaryen and the princess of House Martell has changed her clothes and is no longer as embarrassed as she was just now.
Seeing that the sick beauty seemed to be still addicted to the pain of losing her son and had no intention of talking, Titus had no choice but to take the initiative and speak first, "When Ashara mentioned you to me, she called you her best friend."
Hearing the name of his best friend, Princess Elia finally responded, "She also told me about you - at that time we never thought that you would meet her brother on the battlefield?"
After the battle of Trident, she inquired about Starfall Earl and found out that he was dead.
The princess is a little aggressive towards me, that's not okay----
"That was a good thing Seaguard Earl did. If I had met him at that time, for Ashara's sake, I would have spared his life."
Titus observed Elia's expression, preparing to add some extra twists.
"Just as I spared Prince Lewyn's life for your sake."
Elia turned around and looked squarely at this important figure in the rebel party for the first time. He was also the black man Earl whom she had chatted and joked with at the Harrenhal martial arts competition.
"Will you let him go?"
"Of course, as long as the price is right - in fact, I have always respected Prince Lewyn. His performance on the battlefield was indeed outstanding, and he defeated three Canyon Knights who had a good reputation in Vale in a row - I even thought about letting him go back to Dorne, but I'm afraid he won't agree."
Elia thought the "price" he meant was money, so she couldn't help but relax her tone. She just lost Aegon and didn't want to lose another relative.
"How could he disagree? He must be willing."
Just like me at this time. Elia thought.
Rhaegar did something like that, and her youngest son was thrown to death. Now she learned the news of Aerys II's death from Starpike Earl. Nothing about Red Keep made her feel memorable anymore. Princess Elia had never wanted to go home, to Sunspear, to reunite with her family like she does now.
"No, he must not be willing, because he wants to protect his niece, which is you, Princess Dorne Elia Martell."
Princess Elia's heart sank. She heard it. The leader of the rebel army would not let her go, the former princess, just because she was the "remnant" of the Targaryen royal family?
Or is he just like King Aerys, who wants to use her to threaten Dorne in the south?
"Elia--Can I call you that? Please don't misunderstand, it's not me or Robert I who wants to keep you by force----"
Yes, her surname is Martell, not Targaryen.
Noticing the change in her expression, Titus smiled kindly and said, "----It's your Dorne inheritance law that destined your daughter Rhaenys to never return to Dorne. You should understand this."
Unlike the Targaryen royal succession law, which favors sons over daughters, and the Westeros aristocratic inheritance law, according to the Dorne tradition, the inheritance rights of the eldest daughter are ranked ahead of her biological brothers.
This is due to the fact that Nymeria, the warrior princess of Rhoynar, led Rhoynar thousands of ships westward to avoid the invasion of Valyrian Freehold. After traveling to many places, she arrived at Dorne and married the local Morse Martell.
Princess Nymeria and the head of the Martell family worked together to defeat the other six kings in the Dorne area, and used golden shackles to capture them and send them to the Wall, finally unifying the fragmented Dorne.
Those six kings, including "Noble of Blood", "Higurashi Sword", "Giant Vulture", "Blind King", "King of the Sulphur River", and "Crazy Flute", are all the patriarchs of Dorne's powerful families.
After the death of Morse Martell, Nymeria began to rule alone.
During this period, she married twice more to unite the Dorne nobles, and she was very brave and good at fighting. She repelled two invasions by Storm King Durran and an attack by the Reach King Ge Leyton Gardener. She was truly the "Queen Dorne".
As the supreme lord of the area, Nymeria brought many Rhoynar customs and laws from Essos to Dorne.
After her death, her position was inherited by her eldest daughter with Morse Martell, not her son with Davos·Dayne--
This period of history has made the status of women in Dorne very high.
Now in charge of Dorne is another Dorne princess, who is also the mother of Doran Martell, Elia, Oberyn and others.
Like other places on the mainland, only when all brothers have passed away, or there are no biological brothers at all, can the lord's daughter be qualified to inherit her father's title. During this period, she may also be challenged openly or covertly by male cousins within the family.
The inheritance law of House Targaryen----or Iron Throne is even more extreme.
After experiencing several Great Council before and after "Dance of the Dragons", an unbreakable convention has been formed. The ordering of the inheritance law of Iron Throne among the same sex is similar to the order of Andals and First Men. However, when the opposite sex is sorted, the female heir will be ranked after all the male heirs. Even the male heirs of the collateral line, such as uncles and cousins, are superior to the king's biological daughter.
At the same time, all bloodlines that are continued through men are automatically ranked before bloodlines that are continued through women in the family.
To put it simply, no matter whether they are old or young, the Iron Throne of Targaryen is passed on from son to daughter, nor to the male descendants of the woman.
This is in serious conflict with the inheritance law of Dorne.
It can be imagined from this -
As soon as Rhaenys·Targaryen returns to Dorne, House Martell of Sunspear can carry out the "Northern Expedition" in the name of "Queen House Targaryen" at any time.
In the future of the parallel world, it's not like no one has done this before----
Now Dornish is in the wrong camp and lost a battle to the north of Gods Eye. As a result, in turn, it actually has a claim to Iron Throne?
How is this possible.
Robert·Baila Theon, Eddard·Stark, Titus·Peake, Jon·Arryn, Hoster·Tully, the five leading figures of the uprising alliance who finally killed Mad King, will not allow such a thing to happen!
Elia understood what Titus meant, and a heavy look of regret appeared on her haggard face.
Titus smiled and asked, "Unless you are willing to leave Rhaenys and go back to Sunspear by yourself?"
"That's impossible!"
Elia has a firm attitude. She cannot leave her only daughter and go back to Dorne alone.
"Rhaenys can't live without King's Landing, you can't live without Rhaenys, and Prince Lewyn can't live without you either--then have you ever considered a question?"
Titus Cross his hands and lean forward slightly.
"For Ashara's sake, I am willing to treat the prince and you mother and daughter well - but how can I guarantee that others in your "betrayal of the party" will not choose to eradicate the root cause and clean up the future troubles?"
The so-called "future troubles" actually have a very clear meaning, that is, all members of the Wang family with the surname "Targaryen".
Among the huge Red Keep, the only one who still bears the name "Targaryen" is a little girl who has just turned three years old and has chestnut hair and brown eyes.
Elia's face turned pale.
Titus took advantage of every opportunity. "To ensure the safety of you and Rhaenys, and at the same time maintain the peace between Dorne and the kingdom, there is only one way at the moment, and that is——"
In the Queen's ballroom.
After the death of the old king, the former crown princess who did not become the "Queen" listened to those intriguing words coming out of Hei Earl's mouth one after another, and opened her little mouth in an unladylike manner----
