Jon Hand of the King of Red Keep had previously sent a handwritten letter to Nightsong, which was delivered to the military camp in front of Skyreach by a knight from the Caron family.
In the letter, old Hand of the King expressed his doubts and concerns about "Dornish Marches's guardianship of being provocative."
At the same time, in the name of Seven Kingdoms Hand of the King, he also asked Starpike Earl to suspend the march to Dorne, not wanting to cause greater disputes and wars.
Titus replied.
He first explained the numerous crimes committed by the soldiers of Wangjiacheng and Skyreach in the Dornish Marches area, and that everything he did was to practice justice, and emphasized that his motives for launching the war were blameless - presumably the old Arryn of "As High as Honor" could also understand.
And Titus did not blindly impose a hard limit. At the end of the reply, he implicitly revealed the necessary conditions for him to end the attack.
A ceasefire is not impossible.
With the disappearance of House Manwoody, which has been passed down for many years, the lords of Dornish Marches have let out a bad breath.
After this symbolic battle, the relationship between several nobles will become more united - united around the guardian of Dornish Marches.
Using Wangjiacheng as a raft, Titus's true purpose of starting the war has already been achieved.
His name of "Guardian" is no longer just a nice word given by Iron Throne, but he has truly begun to control and utilize the power belonging to Dornish Marches.
But.
Skyreach must also pay a corresponding price to be eligible for forgiveness from black Earl.
The many flute leaders have become the king's tomb.
House Fowler either cuts off its claws or breaks its wings. In short, it cannot escape easily.
Otherwise, wouldn't Dagoshi Manwudi be crying and fainting at Seven Hells?
Obviously the Forrester family did it too!
Originally, Titus wanted to compete with old Jon again.
Who would have expected that the next letter sent from the direction of Nightsong would actually be from Princess Dorne of Sunspear.
It may be that both her daughter and granddaughter are not dead, and they have become "queen" and "princess" instead of Chaosuna. Princess Martell who lives in Sunspear is obviously in a very good mood.
Not only was she not pissed to death by Tywin during "War of the Usurper", but looking at her condition - it seemed she could still live for a long time -
Titus read Elia's mother's letter with a strange mentality.
The other party did not pretend to be an elder - this is something Duke Jon·Arryn could learn from - but was very polite, even a little admiring, praising Starpike Earl for its significant contribution to "Seven Kingdoms peace".
The softness of the words used makes Titus feel goosebumps when watching it.
This is too disgusting.
Good guy.
In the mouth of this de facto "Dorne Queen", I have become a "Seven Kingdoms model of peace"! But now he, the "peace elite" carefully selected by the princess, is actively attacking the opponent's vassal castle?
Hey, Peacemaker, do you have to find a bald eagle as a pet?
It can only be said that it is not that simple to single-handedly cultivate a character like Doran Martell - the woman who was willing to take Elia, Oberyn siblings all the way north in an attempt to marry Casterly Rock and solve Dorne's diplomatic dilemma.
House Martell has been married to the Targaryen royal family many times, either marrying off his own daughter or marrying the other party's princess, so he also has "dragon blood".
But that's the end of it.
Martell has always lacked close friendship with the other great nobles of Seven Kingdoms, and is even more hostile to the two dukes of Highgarden and Storm's End.
The hatred between the three parties is endless. Either you kill my leader, or I kill your guardian.
The advantage of Dorne has always been "independence", and its disadvantage is also, or should it be called "isolation"? The two themselves are two sides of the same coin.
The Princess Martell also mentioned in the letter:
Her heir Doran was taking his brother as a guest at Hellholt in the middle of Dorne.
She has sent an order for them to set off immediately to come to Prince's Pass. While bringing greetings to her, they also "incidentally" understand the misunderstandings between Titus Earl and some of the Dorne owners.
This is something Titus did not predict in advance.
You know, he had just killed Manwudi, and the other party's attitude was really too polite.
The inherent instability of war is slowly manifesting itself. No one can perfectly control the "interaction" of emotions, politics, and luck.
Neither can Titus.
Earl betrayed Princess Dorne's face and suspended the air attack on Skyreach.
In fact, this stone city built on a high ground is really difficult to attack.
Master Titus is not Aegon I. The "Balerion" he can come into contact with right now is just like a ball of black coal.
A little milk cat that can't breathe fire and can only breathe.
-The property rights are still in the hands of a young girl named Martell.
The "Shenlong Completion Plan" in the "Third New XX City" cave and the safety improvement of the controllable Wildfire also require research and development time.
Perhaps, the arrival of the Martell brothers can also be a turning point before our side reaches a deadlock?
Hellholt of House Uller is directly south of Skyreach.
As for why the two brothers went there as guests - Titus vaguely remembers that it seems that Oberyn Martell has a lover who he always keeps with him, who is Harman Uller Earl's illegitimate daughter?
The other party seems to be called "Ellaria Sand", and like her lover, she is also a bisexual who is particularly unrestrained in sex. It is said that she also worked as a prostitute for a period of time and believed in a certain Lys god of erotic love.
When this couple interacts in bed, they seem to like to find some beautiful women to warm up the scene - or invite beautiful men to join them in their battles.
In this regard, Titus can only mean that Dorne is a master who has fun and the LGBTQ community cannot be offended----
Due to the close distance, it didn't take long for the two Martell brothers to arrive at the military camp guarded by Dornish Marches.
Seemingly convinced that the black Earl would ensure their safety, the brothers traveled lightly and brought only more than twenty guards, half of whom were "sponsored" by Hellholt Earl - the latter unabashedly flying the flame flag of House Uller.
Titus received them in his Chinese army tent.
Doran Prince Nameros Martell--or rather, Prince Doran is now in his thirties. Judging from his appearance, he is a cautious, quiet and steady man who doesn't seem to like to show his emotions.
If the trajectory of fate remains unchanged.
When this person gets older, he will suffer from extremely severe gout and have difficulty walking. He can only sit on the mobile "Iron Throne" - an iron wheelchair to control Dorne.
Titus It doesn't matter, as long as it's not leprosy, he doesn't want to be on the opposite side of "Baldwin IV".
To be honest, the people of Martell should really thank Black Earl.
Counting from top to bottom, their family includes Princess Dorne of Sunspear, the captured Prince Lewyn, Queen Elia and Princess Rhaenys of Red Keep, and then Doran and Oberyn who are alive and kicking in front of them. The whole family is living well.
Whose credit is this?
Even the Mountain, who originally penetrated Oberyn's eyeballs and crushed his skull, was killed in advance.
Who planned this?
Titus·Peake, in addition to being the "Messenger of Peace" clearly certified in Princess Dorne's letter, is simply the kind of great benefactor of the Martell family who would set up a monument to commemorate her.
Doran·Martel, who was completely unaware of these kindnesses, did not show any sign of speaking for Skyreach, but instead understood the reasons and background of what happened.
After listening to Starpike Earl's "one-sided words", he sincerely stated on the spot that Dornish Marches had suffered serious losses and Skyreach Earl should compensate.
He is willing to represent Sunspear, go to Skyreach, and have a chat with Forrester Earl.
Titus It can be seen that this is a realist who is very aware of current affairs.
He didn't even ask about House Manwoody at all, as if there had never been a castle named "Kingsgrave" here in Prince's Pass.
This makes Titus feel a little chilled. Once such a person becomes an opponent, he must not give in to him in vain. He must be physically eliminated as soon as possible.
As the most outstanding spear warrior among Dornish, Oberyn Martell seems to have captured the fleeting murderous aura from the black Earl.
After entering the tent, the dark-eyed young man who looked lazy and let his brother do all the negotiating suddenly straightened his back. When he looked at the owner of this place, his eyes were obviously aggressive.
Although he has not yet become famous throughout the entire kingdom, Oberyn is already very famous within Dorne, and even on the other side of the Narrow Sea.
At that time, because of adultery with the previous Yronwood Earl's mistress, the sixteen-year-old him had a duel with the old Earl. The two of them followed the agreement before the battle and stopped at the sight of blood.
Oberyn was young and strong. After recovering from his injuries, nothing happened, but his opponent died of ulcers from the wounds.
The former had studied medicine in Citadel, and traveled with his elder brother to Free Cities in Essos, where he learned a lot of advanced knowledge about poisons, and may also have learned other dark tricks - this is no secret.
So Oberyn was suspected, and he had tampered with his spear.
In order to avoid military conflicts with the new generation of "blood nobles", Princess Martell banished Oberyn, who had just dropped out of Citadel out of boredom - at that time he had already built six bachelor's chains for himself - and let this trouble-making boy go to Essos to make a living on his own.
In order to maintain peace between his family and House Yronwood, Doran sent his son Quentyn Martell to be a servant to Anders Earl, who inherited Yronwood, despite the objections of his wife Meera Leo.
Just as Red Viper was sensitive enough, Titus also noticed the sudden change in Oberyn's self-image, and asked with interest, "Prince Oberyn, what do you mean by looking at me like this? Do you also want to accompany your brother to Skyreach, to persuade Franklin not to resist and surrender early?"
Oberyn slightly withdrew the hostility in his eyes and replied with a smile, "Of course not, that is my brother Doran's job. I was just idle and bored, so I came with him to have a look——"
After Oberyn was exiled by his mother, he worked as a mercenary in Disputed Lands, and initially worked for Second Sons, the oldest mercenary company in the world.
It was a mercenary group established in the late Century of Blood by forty noble men who were low-ranking in their respective families and had been expelled or ignored.
After its completion, it has been the first choice for landless lords, scattered knights and adventurers on both continents for many years.
