WOW——
The heavy chain sounded. Although the throne hall was crowded with people, it was silent. No one spoke. They all held their breath and looked out of the throne hall.
Ed stark, Duke of Winterfell, was dressed in prison clothes, his hands and feet were tied with heavy chains, his gray black hair was scattered, his beard was ragged, his eyes were a little dull.
He was escorted down to the throne hall by the soldiers without dirt. His eyes were slightly confused and looked at the aristocrats of the seven countries around him. Most of them were strange faces, and only a few people were still familiar with them.
They greeted ed stark excitedly.
"Lord stark!"
"Lord ed stark!"
One of the burly northern nobles wore a "cold winter and scorching sun" coat of arms. His beard trembled slightly and looked a little excited, because this was the first appearance of their monarch, Lord stark, after more than half a year. Before that, he had been detained in the Red Castle. He didn't know whether life or death. No one outside except Mrs. Caitlin was qualified to visit.
"Lord Karstark."
Ed dragged a heavy chain and walked through the crowd on both sides of the throne hall under the escort of the dirt free soldiers. He heard the voices from both sides and saw the once familiar faces. The confusion on his face subsided slightly, and his voice responded hoarsely.
These people are the surviving northern nobles. They have surrendered to the tangaryan army after the battle of Pentium, and even incorporated into the regular army long ago. They disrupted the second and third legions, followed Oberon on an expedition to the west, and the other part served in the golden regiment, followed wesselis to defeat Stannis, Shattered the resistance of the storm.
Even many northern nobles have made great achievements and received promotions or awards.
The climate and terrain determine the hard life of people in the north. The bitter cold of winter makes people in the north different from those in the south south of Jingze. They know that winter is coming as soon as they are born. They must be prepared for survival.
Therefore, in such an environment, northerners have no time to care about empty manners, court rituals, fancy culture or martial arts contests. They speak very straight, do not know how to adapt, and their wishes are very simple.
The stark family has ruled the Northern Territory for thousands of years and has long been deeply rooted. They hope that the governor who will rule the Northern Territory in the future will also be northerners, not a governor who parachuted from somewhere. This is their only appeal.
The character of the northerners is stubborn and xenophobic, which is somewhat similar to that of the Donnes. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for outsiders to rule the north.
"The Northern Territory fought side by side with us against the common enemy of all mankind, and resolutely surrendered after King Robert was defeated and captured, making great achievements..."
Later dynasties will have a non objective and fair evaluation of the previous dynasties. Generally speaking, they will try their best to belittle each other and obtain a relatively justifiable reason for themselves.
It is rare to say that the previous dynasty has been upgraded to a higher level. The tangaryan family once despised Robert baratheon as a "usurper" and did not recognize that the other party had won the sovereignty of the kingdom for ten years. However, since wesselis is determined to establish a new country and separate it from the previous tangaryan Dynasty, based on this need, He made an exception by admitting the existence of King Robert and that the other party had captured the whole country, and the tangaryan Dynasty was destroyed by iris II, the "crazy king" of weseries.
Political compromises often take what they need, and the reversal of the tone in the court is only in an instant. It is common for skilled politicians and nobles to say a set of words in the morning and deny what they say in the morning at night.
Therefore, the "usurper" became the "king of Robert", but the nature of that war did not change. It was still the "usurper war". Robert usurped the Iron Throne of the tangorian family and became the king of the seven countries.
And ED stark, Duke of Winterfell, came to the stage with heavy shackles on his hands and feet. His character was upright. Naturally, he couldn't figure out what the subtle changes between words meant, and he didn't want to think about it.
At the forefront of the throne room, he also saw several familiar faces, such as Wallis, the "eight clawed spider", Prince Oberon of Dorn, and his former opponent Jon Clinton, but most of them were strange faces, such as the commander of the golden regiment, MIS toyne, the guard Kago of the doslak blood League, and the commander-in-chief of the dirt free legion, black bug, Their eyes hit ed stark like knives.
"Long time no see, Lord ed stark."
"Little finger" pettil berrisi, wearing a black cloak, also stood in front of the ministers, nodding at ed with a smile.
On the other side, Tyrion Lannister, the king's consultant "little devil" standing on the front step of the iron throne, coughed slightly, looked up at the silver haired youth wearing the steel crown of Valeria on the iron throne, and then continued to speak.
"Your Majesty, the people in the north are actively obedient and have not resisted national reunification, and the crimes of the usurper war have not been settled, and the North has not been recovered. Therefore, Lord ed Stark is still qualified to retain the status of Duke of Winterfell..."
Tyrion's voice echoed in the silent throne room. Of course, it was not his own point of view, but his preset lines and scripts.
The haggard and bearded Duke ed stark thought about what his wife had told him before he left, then he was silent, took a deep breath, and bowed his head to the iron throne in a hoarse voice.
"Your Majesty."
Duke ed bowed his head and said his majesty. All the northern nobles present were relieved except one.
Ramses snow, his father and brother have died, but Ramses is not as eager to get his surname as he was in those years. Now he is not in a hurry to give his surname Bolton, because he has other plans.
He saw that ED did not give full play to the hard spirit of the people in the north. Instead of bowing to wesselis, he came up and softened, with a slight shade in his eyes.
He had great ambition and was determined to go north, but then he shook his head and showed a bright smile.
While wesselis sat on the Iron Throne without opening his mouth, just nodding slightly. Ed stark, who was present as the Duke of Winterfell, drew aside with heavy shackles and stood beside Oberon.
"Lord ed stark."
Oberon escorted tywin Lannister back to King's landing. Dorn's skin was a little deep, with a smile similar to Ramses, and then greeted ed stark.
"I've heard of Lord Stark's reputation for impartiality and strictness long ago."
"Prince Oberon."
Ed had just been released from prison. He had been held in prison for so long and had been suffocated for a long time, but he really had nothing to say with Oberon, so he just nodded and responded hoarsely.
At this time, another voice came in front of the iron throne, which immediately attracted the eyes of both men.
"Count Jeffrey bracken."
