Braavos, House of Black and White.
House of Black and White is mainly composed of three types of clergy: priests, monks (Faceless Men apprentices are also considered monks), and Faceless Men (priests).
Priests and monks are in charge of the basic operations of House of Black and White, including receiving mortals, guiding services, accepting tasks, etc...
The people responsible for performing the assassination mission are Faceless Men and Faceless Men apprentices. There are only twelve official Faceless Mens, and each of them has two to three apprentices.
At this time, eleven Faceless Men gathered in the holy room on the third underground floor of House of Black and White.
This is the most secret place of House of Black and White. Thousands of human skin masks are hung on the walls.
Faceless Men have no names, only nicknames, and their nicknames also change at any time, because each of them is a "nobody".
The leader, Faceless Men, wears a black and white cloak. His code name is "Kind Man" and he is also the person in charge of House of Black and White.
The "kind man" looked at the other ten Faceless Men and said slowly, "'Old Face', your apprentice failed. The task of assassinating King in the North should have been yours, and you must be responsible for it."
Faceless Men, who was called "old-fashioned face", rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "I really don't know what you think. It's just a gold mine, and you want us to assassinate King in the North? Come on, that's a ruthless person who can destroy an entire city with just one Magic. I don't want to provoke him."
Another Faceless Men named "Lord" sneered, "Tsk, coward."
"Old-Face" glanced at "Lord" and said, "If you have the ability, go and assassinate King in the North. What's the ghost's name?"
Just when the two were about to fight, "Hungry Ghost" came out to smooth things over, "Yes, kind man, why did you give this task to 'Old Face'? Obviously 'Alchemist' is at Westeros, why don't you just let him go?"
The kind man faced the doubt and said slowly, "The alchemist had other tasks before... Okay, you don't need to argue, I have decided to give up this task."
Abandon the mission?
House of Black and White has been established for hundreds of years and has taken over hundreds of thousands of assassination missions. They can count on five fingers the number of times they have given up.
King in the North, Luke·Stark are destined to be included in House of Black and White's file.
The old-fashioned face was not happy, "Just giving up like this? What about my apprentice? She is still in the dungeon of Winterfell!"
The kind man looked at the old-fashioned face expressionlessly, "Luke·Stark is the first servant of Supreme God. If you want to continue the mission, go and carry it out in person and give the other party enough respect."
The chief servant of a god usually refers to the leader of a religion. For example, the leader of the Seven religion is every High Septon, and they are called the "chief servants of Seven".
The old-fashioned face was confused, "Supreme God?"
Where did a god I had never heard of come from?
A Faceless Men named "Fat Man" laughed and said, "Supreme? What a huge ambition. Such false gods should be wiped out!"
The kind man had no reaction. He waited for everyone to finish their complaints and said slowly, "Many-Faced God came down with an oracle. He said that Supreme God is older than other gods and is the first god in the world. It disappeared before the birth of mankind, so we have no way of knowing."
The fat man shrank his neck, "Why is it so big? Great Supreme God, please forgive me for my indiscriminate words."
"Beautiful Man" saw the fat man's cowardice and said angrily, "You are a servant of Many-Faced God, don't beg from other gods!"
The kind man said to the stiff-faced man, "I will send the alchemist to negotiate with King in the North in exchange for your apprentice. He has a fate with Arya·Stark and is easier to talk to than us."
Dorne, Sunspear.
Because Dorne was never conquered by Dragon, but was incorporated into the Targaryen kingdom through friendship more than a hundred years ago, so House Martell has always retained the title of Royal House.
They couldn't call themselves "kings", so they changed to "princes", and the prince's children were called "princess" and "prince".
On a high tower in Sunspear, there is a room that is heavily guarded.
Prince of Dorne Doran·Martel suffered from gout and had difficulty moving, but he still worked hard to walk upstairs and reached the door of the room with difficulty.
He directed the guard at the door, "Open the door."
The four guards bowed their heads and accepted the order, opening the door for Prince Doran.
The curtains in the room were all drawn. It was clearly daytime, but the room was very dark.
Prince Doran ordered the guards to enter the room, draw the curtains, and open the windows.
After the curtains were opened, streaks of sunlight shone into the room, allowing Prince Doran to see clearly what was going on inside.
The room was in a mess, the gauze bedspread was torn, the gilded vase was knocked over, the wardrobe was overturned, and many exquisite clothes were scattered on the floor.
"Everyone go out, I want to be alone with Princess Arianne."
The guards walked out of the room cautiously, for fear of stepping on the princess's clothes. They walked outside the room, closed the door, and the room returned to silence.
Prince Doran lifted up the tattered bed cover, looked at his eldest daughter, and sighed, "Princess Myrcella was disfigured. One of her ears was cut off, and there was a wound on her face that was difficult to heal."
The woman on the bed was a little weak. She couldn't bear it and retorted stubbornly, "I'm sorry for her, but all this is caused by your weakness!"
The woman looks slightly mature. Although she is only less than 1.6 meters tall, her figure is exquisite and graceful. She has a head of glossy black curly hair, paired with a pair of big black eyes, a tall nose, and two plump pink lips, plus her bronze skin, which makes people's blood rush and make them think of committing crimes.
Her name is Arianne Princess Martell. She is twenty-three years old and is an older unmarried young person in Westeros.
However, her "emotional" experience is very rich. She first grew up in the fourteenth year of her life, and then she got out of control and gradually grew into a high-ranking hunter who can use her "advantage" to control men.
Unlike Cersei who "will accept all comers", Princess Arianne still has principles. She likes handsome guys, and not just any crooked guy can grow up with her.
However, the reason why Princess Arianne is under house arrest by Prince Doran is not because she likes to grow up with others.
But...
After Prince "Red Viper" Oberyn died in King's Landing, Princess Arianne and Sand Snakes (the illegitimate daughters of Prince Oberyn) forced Prince Doran to launch a war, but to no avail.
So Princess Arianne began to plot alone. She first used her "own advantage" to conquer Princess Myrcella's Sir Kingsguard Alex.
Then she teamed up with some close friends to try to transfer Princess Myrcella out of Sunspear and make Princess Myrcella the king.
Unlike other places, Dorne emphasizes equality between men and women, and daughters can also inherit their father's title. For example, Princess Arianne is the eldest child of Prince Doran. Even if Prince Doran has two sons, the first heir is still Princess Arianne.
Therefore, from the legal point of view of Dorne, it should be Princess Myrcella who inherits Iron Throne, not Tommen who is several years younger than Myrcella.
Unfortunately, some people secretly tipped off Prince Doran, causing Princess Arianne's plan to fail.
The ending was that Sir Alex was killed, and another vicious knight slashed Princess Myrcella in an attempt to force a war between Dorne and Iron Throne.
Princess Arianne's close friends were arrested and she herself was placed under house arrest.
She has been on hunger strike for many days now just to see her father.
