Crownlands, Duskendale.
King in the North's messenger came here and conveyed the order to all Vale lords.
"My lords, you'd better set off as soon as possible, otherwise His Majesty the King's wrath will come to each of you with Dragonfire!"
Faced with the threat from the messenger, the Vale lords became rarely silent.
Who could have expected that that group of lunatics would seek their own death and sneak attack the the North coalition forces. Do they really think that their chivalry can deal with Dragon?
Now, the lords can only temporarily abandon their own troops, lead a hundred-man cavalry, and go to King's Landing to apologize to King in the North.
Three days later.
A trial was held at Throne Room in Red Keep. All the North lords and some Crownlands lords attended and sat in the jury seats.
Gary is sitting on top of Iron Throne and is today's chief judge.
Margaery and Daenerys were sitting on his left and right respectively, for the other two judges.
He looked at the Vale lords below and asked, "Are you aware of and involved in the rebellion of House Waynwood, the Tampaton family... and other Vale families?"
Jon Royce Earl spoke as a representative, "Your Majesty, we did not know. They deceived us and said they wanted to return to Vale first. We have no right to stop..."
Gary stood up and walked down the steps. He did not continue to delve deeper.
"Oh? I have no right to stop it... I heard that House Arryn is extinct. So Warden of the East and the Eyrie cannot be left without owners for a day, and they should be handed over to other families. Which family is the most powerful among you?"
The Vale lords standing below did not speak, but they all looked at Yon Royce Earl.
John Royce Earl realized this was an opportunity and took it decisively, "Yes, Your Majesty. After House Waynwood and House Belmore's forces were wiped out by Your Majesty, we House Royce can now be said to be the strongest family in Vale."
Gary did not hesitate, pointing to Jon Royce and said, "Then it's you. Your family will move to the Eyrie immediately and inherit the title of duke and the position of Warden of the East."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" John Royce beamed with joy and knelt down to thank him.
The other Vale lords were all envious, wishing that their own family could be so powerful and compete with John Royce.
But they didn't dare to deceive King in the North in this situation, lest they would be killed.
Gary turned back to Iron Throne, "Don't be too happy too early. You Vale have made such a big mistake, and you will definitely be punished."
He crossed his legs and put his right hand on his face, "First of all, your previous Small Council seats are gone. Secondly, you must compensate the North for this loss. Those Vale families who participated in the rebellion will be deprived of their titles and fiefs, and all their money and grain will be shipped to various the North castles."
Regarding this arrangement, the Vale lords present had nothing to do with themselves and said nothing.
Gary lazily continued, "King's Landing is also short of money and food, so you families must also contribute. I need your castle to contribute half of the food reserves and Gold Dragon to help King's Landing rebuild. Also, my patience is limited. If you dare to cheat, you will bear the consequences."
The Lord Vale below smiled bitterly. His Majesty the King is emptying out Vale. After such exploitation, it will take at least five years for Vale to recover.
But as Gary said, they have no right to respond, they can only bow their heads and accept it.
Essos, Pentos.
Tysha expelled those believers of Red God (Lord of Light) and transformed the Red God temple into the Supreme God Faith church.
At the same time, she also erected a giant statue of more than ten meters high in the center of the town, asking Pentos people to follow her in believing in Supreme God.
Under the intimidation of Magic, most residents chose to obey and follow Master Magister to believe in Supreme God.
However, there are still many people who secretly worship Lord of Light at home in secret.
Tysha has no ability to change the hearts of those people, and she has no time. The news that Gary has captured King's Landing has spread to Pentos. She must lead more than thirty dragoons and cross the sea as soon as possible to return to King's Landing.
So in the past month, Tysha has been building a dozen large sailing ships to carry money, food and dragoons.
Davos temporarily took over the government affairs of Pentos, and then tried its best to promote Supreme God Faith.
Today, the fleet has been built, the money, food and goods that need to be packed away have been assembled, and the dragoons have also boarded the ship first.
Tysha passed the position of Magister to one of her confidants, and then asked them to stay in Pentos to hold on to this inheritance for Luke·Stark.
After explaining everything, she and Davos embarked on the journey back to Westeros.
Westeros, Stormlands.
More than a month later, Aegon VI led Golden Company to successfully capture Storm's End, convinced most of the Stormlands lords, occupied the entire Stormlands, and declared himself king.
The reason why these Stormlands lords surrendered was not because of Golden Company's military strength, but because of the orthodox Targaryen origins of Aegon VI, and the little Dragon standing on the shoulders of Aegon VI.
At this time, King in the North of King's Landing has already called himself the king of Seven Kingdoms, declaring that Seven Kingdoms is the orthodox successor of Iron Throne.
He leads the three northern kingdoms to form the indestructible Northern Alliance and is currently the most powerful king.
During this time, Westerlands also declared independence, regarded Tommen·Baila Theon as his king, and started a confrontation with Stark of Crownlands.
The Reach is deeply involved in the war with Ironborn and has no time to care about this.
Dorne is still wavering. They are neutral, neither declaring independence from Seven Kingdoms nor joining any force.
King's Landing, Red Keep.
A lot of things happened in one month. First, the lords the North and Vale returned to their respective fiefdoms, preparing to follow Gary's order and start moving part of Vale's money and grain to the North.
Then, Margaery did not stay with Gary for a few days, then rode Bingling and set off back to Highgarden with a hundred Highgarden cavalry.
Before departure, Margaery made a special trip to meet Lord Mace.
After Lord Mace confirmed again and again, he finally believed that his daughter was not dead. He was also released by Gary, his prospective son-in-law, and wandered around Red Keep all day long.
Since Small Council of Gary has not yet been established, Lord Mace also wants a share of the pie.
On the one hand, he urged Gary to marry Margaery as soon as possible. On the other hand, he also secretly excluded Daenerys, hoping to force away the woman who was competing with his daughter for her husband.
Fortunately, Daenerys and Margaery have a very good relationship and talk about everything.
This move of Lord Mace was soon discovered by Margaery. Margaery angrily threw Lord Mace into the Highgarden cavalry and asked him to follow him back to Highgarden.
Lord Mace, who was in memory of his power, was unwilling to leave. Finally, Gary asked him to go to Highgarden himself to pick up his uncles, and Lord Mace reluctantly agreed.
