"Master Stannis, this is wrong!"
The old bachelor interrupted loudly.
"Not even the supreme lord of Dorne, House Martell of Sunspear, has ever expressed distaste for Titus Earl's actions.
The two Martell princes were also present at the time and showed no dissatisfaction.
Another party involved, Franklin Earl of Skyreach, has also taken the initiative to sign the agreement, admitted the infringement on Dornish Marches, and voluntarily apologized and admitted his mistake----"
Pycelle's tone was a bit contemptuous. "----How can I get the chance to criticize a frontier army marshal with great military achievements?"
Thinking of the "local specialties" from the frontier that Street of Steel's Jamie boss sent over last night, Pycelle felt that his whole body was full of energy!
Stannis is a person who talks about matters on a case-by-case basis. In addition, he is still relatively junior and can sit in this conference room mostly because his surname is "Bala Theon".
Being refuted by Pycelle in public, the face of the newly ascended young noble sank slightly, but he also knew that arguing was useless, so he shut his mouth and stopped talking.
No one else in the meeting expressed sympathy for House Manwoody.
Wangjiacheng has been burned down, and almost all members of House Manwoody are dead. They are destined to disappear in the history of the mainland. It is meaningless to speak out for this destroyed family.
Only Master of Whisperers Varys secretly mourned the poor Dagoshi Manwudi Earl in his heart.
It's not good for him to offend anyone, but he wants to offend ruthless characters like Titus·Peake. It's his own fault to end up like this----
As the evil neighbor of Nightsong, House Manwoody with a long history is actually not just the kind of lunatic who claims to "have the right to rule the entire mountain range". Like the former, Wangjiacheng is also rich in singers.
For example, Mick Manwood Knight relied on his superb skills in playing the harp and his good mind to become the third husband of Irena Targaryen.
Irena is the youngest daughter of "Dragonbane" Aegon III.
She was not as beautiful as her sisters at first, but her charm became more and more attractive as she grew older.
People say that Irena is more beautiful when she is seventy years old than when she was seventeen years old.
I don't know how much of this is due to wealth.
Irena has a pair of purple pupils and long platinum hair, with a strand of pure golden hair hanging down in the middle.
She also has a gold and silver Dragon Egg that is similar to her own hair color.
Whether it is Irena with her "highlighted" blonde hair or her favorite Dragon Egg, they are all closely related to Titus·Peake----
Irena is very smart and proficient in financial management, and she is also the actual Master of Coin of Daeron II later.
After "Young Dragon" died young, Irena, along with her two sisters - "virtuous" Rhaena and "disobedient" Daena - were placed under house arrest in Red Keep's maiden residence by the pious Baelor.
It is said that Master Baelor was trying to resist the temptation from his sisters - another way of saying is that he was trying to preserve their purity and chastity in this evil world.
Regardless of the truth, this gave the three sisters the title of "The Three Virgins on the Tower".
When the rule of Baelor ended, Irena, who came out of the maiden house, and her cousin House Velaryon were transformed from illegitimate children into "" of Earl Oakfist and Alyn fell in love and gave birth to a pair of illegitimate twins, Jon·Weishui and Jenny·Weishui.
The former is the founder of the knight family named "Naval Hero" Leonardo Weaverwater.
Irena hoped to marry Alyn, but because Alyn·Velaryon disappeared after a certain voyage, the relationship ended without a problem.
After that, she married three times, to three men with completely different styles. The first two times, they were all married according to the king's will.
For the first time, she married the wealthy but old Osphine Plumb. But on the night of their consummation, the overly excited Osphine Earl died.
Ten months later, she gave birth to a baby boy, insisting that the child with silver hair and purple eyes was the bloodline left by the old Lord Aoife.
No one dared to openly question Princess Targaryen's words, but everyone was whispering the joke that "Old Osphey's words were six feet long, so that he could still impregnate his little wife after his death."
Rumors also believe that the child is actually the father of Irena's cousin "the Unworthy" Aegon IV.
The second husband Irena married, Master of Coin of Small Council, Rona Penros of Earl of Parchment City, also received the order of "the Wise" Daeron II.
Everyone knows that it is Yelena herself who is really in charge and performs Master of Coin duties, which also makes her one of the richest women in charge.
It was not until the third time that Irena met the musical prodigy and pretty boy Sir Mick Manwood that she got married for true love.
Irena gave birth to seven children in her life. She declared that seven gods were enough, and she would be content with seven children----
Just when Varys's head was spinning with various thoughts, and he was seriously thinking about whether to find a few orphans from the Manwudi family to raise, or to take in his Little Birds.
Seeing that the direction of the meeting had become "one-sided", Mr. Jon·Arryn finally couldn't hold back and spoke.
Because this boss was striving for stability, he was worried about some of the black Earl's willful behavior and their continuous expansion of their power. At this time, he said in a deep voice, "Even if Titus Earl had quite the right reasons for launching the war - but his act of directly annexing Prince's Pass, which originally belonged to Dorne, was a bit too much!
Think about it, "Prince's Pass" is a name that was originally related to Prince of Dorne, but now it has become his House Peake's land. This is simply a slap in Dornish's face."
It was Pycelle Grand Maester who stood up and defended the black master Earl who was not here. "Lord Hand, you are just nitpicking. House Martell didn't feel offended, and Skyreach Earl was willing to cede the territory----
Why do you - accuse Titus Earl, who enforces justice, of taking what he has already obtained?"
Pycelle said, slowly opening the heavy book he brought over, and flipping the pages quickly with his fingers, his movements very neat.
Yes, the Westeros version of "Grand Maester defends me!" is happening in this central place that represents the kingdom's supreme power -
Pycelle pointed to a certain page in the book, quoted scriptures, and began to "debate scriptures" for Marshal Ti from afar. "Everyone, please read it!
Records show that thousands of years ago, the first Manwudi, who had not yet established a foothold inside the pass, killed a king from the Reach area there.
This is where the name "Wangzhong" comes from.
According to the geographical division at that time, the territory of the unrecorded king was most likely the land ruled by the ancestors of House Peake!
There is evidence that since ancient times, Prince's Pass should be the inherent territory of Starpike, sacred and inviolable!
Lord Titus's southern expedition is not an invasion, but to seek justice for the people of Dornish Marches and to uphold justice for the nobles of Dornish Marches.
At the same time, you can easily get back something that has been lost for many years in your family!
Look here again, there is evidence that——"
Barabara----
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the gathering was speechless and stunned.
No one expected that Pycelle Grand Maester, who used to just pretend to be an old fool and doze off during meetings, turned out to be so powerful.
This old guy actually dares to blatantly fabricate "fake history" to endorse Peake Zhangmu who is far away and is expanding wantonly.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
Refute it, it will appear that you are waiting for others to make a fuss, and you are not a professional bachelor.
I agree, knowing that this is nonsense.
Westeros In history, the number of kings from the Age of Heroes to Andals invasion era was not tens of thousands, but at least dozens or hundreds.
Manwudi is so good at picking people, and once he kills him, it will be on Peake, right----
Jon·Arryn opened his mouth, but in the end nothing came out.
He did not want to have a pointless argument with the unscrupulous Grand Maester, and he indeed had no sufficient reason to suppress the completely rising Starpike Earl, let alone interfere with Titus·Peake's exercise of his "legitimate" power in the south.
To put it bluntly, any power and status obtained by the black Earl was earned by his own swords, guns and soldiers, not given by Iron Throne.
It's not that Starpike Earl "owes" the five alliances, but that their alliance "owes" Starpike Earl.
In his heart, the growing power of the other party made him increasingly worried, but there was always a voice in Arryn's head comforting him:
Peake Well, that's how they do things.
From ancient times to the present, the Peake family tradition has always been like this.
Either Qiangang is arbitrary and resolute, or he is arrogant and domineering and acts in a flamboyant manner----
This can be seen from their family's clan language: Who will compete with you?
=Who else?
Not to mention----
The Starpike forces are not without powerful enemies in Seven Kingdoms.
When I thought of the lion that had once again taken over Casterly Rock in the west, Jon·Arryn's heart gradually calmed down.
There is a powerful House Lannister that is hostile and checks and balances Peake, and there are so many people who were defeated by the black Earl who are holding grudges. No matter how Titus·Peake expands, it has its limits----
The final decision of Small Council this time is to recognize the control of Dornish Marches guardian over Prince's Pass.
When His Majesty Robert·Baila Theon's royal seal is sealed, the military guardian title of Lord Titus, who personally laid down the "House Peake Lost Territory", can be further extended, and it becomes -
Dornish Marches cum Prince's Pass guard.
That is to say, although the pass is large, it seems a bit small when placed within the entire kingdom. It can only be merged with "Dornish Marches Guardian" - otherwise, after being officially recognized by Iron Throne, Titus will have a chance to get the seventh "national" title of guardian.
In the word "guo", the original four guardians of the east, west, south and north, plus the king Westeros Seven Kingdoms's own title of guardian of the whole territory, there are only five guardians.
Among them, "Warden of the South" is the least authentic and weakest. If the Reach's territory is not ranked second by Seven Kingdoms, its wealth is ranked first by Seven Kingdoms, and to the south is Dorne, the "conqueror"'s great enemy when the country was founded, Tyrell's family would never want to win this title----
In the past year, if there were two more new guardians, bringing the total number to seven, it would be considered auspicious.
At least Faith of the Seven is definitely very welcome.
What a pity----
The pass in the middle of the Red Mountains is not powerful. It only has the prefix "Prince", but it does not have the area that a pro-Crownlands land should have.
