iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 553 Ruler 3
Glancing at Brienne's majestic back as she left, Green reached out and picked up the letter from Dragonstone again.

This is a handwritten letter from Theon Greyjoy. The content of the letter is: Squid, in the tone of a wolf, repeatedly emphasized that... killing prisoners is an dishonorable act, and requested that those people be handed over to him for disposal.

Green's eyelids drooped slightly. How did an injured squid happen to be involved in this matter? He smelled roses in it.

The fingers of his left hand tapped on the edge of the table one by one. As a power player, Lord Green had a keen sense of smell. He guessed... the people of the River Reach wanted to extend their hands into the Iron Islands.

Now that the Crow's Eye is dead, the Iron Islands, without their leader, will soon be in chaos. This is the easiest time for external forces to intervene without resorting to war.

Apparently, others saw this, too.

With a swish, the quill in Green's hand slid across the blank parchment. Since the Greyjoy siblings were both seriously injured, it was the Regent's responsibility to arrange the best doctors for them.

The letter ordered Davos's second son, Ser Allard Seaworth, to escort Asha and Theon back to King's Landing and hand them over to Qyburn for treatment until they fully recovered.

Green pulled out a new piece of parchment.

He dipped the tip of his pen in ink, and gave another order: during the Greyjoy siblings' treatment, the Crabbe Company, which had taken over the gold mines in the West, would go to the Iron Islands, escorted by the fleet in Lannisport, and sign a long-term trade agreement with the lords of the Iron Islands, namely, the specialty of the Iron Islands - iron ore.

With two thumps, Green stamped the swamp marigold seal and handed it to the messenger to be sent to the Crow's Nest.

Then he signaled his attendant to bring a map of the Riverlands.

Spreading it on the table, this gold-eating beast appeared in Lord Green's sight.

His fingertips moved slowly across the map. In addition to food, furs, houses and fireplaces, each family also needed an axe for chopping wood and an iron pot.

Well, the Iron Islands happen to be rich in axes.

Under Green's orders, Luanhe City gathered most of the blacksmiths in the northern part of the riverland, where a steady supply of iron ore was needed.

Then, Green pulled out a new blank parchment and picked up the quill again.

"Shall we have roast lamb tonight?"

“I want to eat beef.”

Outside the throne room door, Monton and the Hound discussed what to have for dinner, one squatting and the other standing.

Sir Monton chuckled and said, "Beef is fine too."

The hound glanced at him and said, "We have been eating mutton for ten days in a row."

The two chatted from time to time, and soon they noticed the movement in front of them and stood still.

"Princess Martell, Lady Tyrell."

"Sir Monton, I need to see the Regent, along with this woman."

"Oh? Oh, wait a moment."

Monton turned and went in. Princess Arianne looked at the rotten left side of the Hound's face without changing her expression. She said, "I heard that you were once a white knight, Sandor Clegane?"

The Hound glanced at her and said in a harsh and hoarse voice: "I am now Monton's adjutant, and I am not a knight."

Arianne put her hands behind her back and looked him up and down again. Then she smiled and said, "I thought that once I put on the white robe, I could never take it off."

There was a moment of silence before the Hound responded, "Joffrey has broken with this old tradition, Princess of Dorne."

Arianne raised an eyebrow. "Who helped you take off your white robe?"

"..."

The Hound remained silent. Margaery Tyrell spoke softly, "Although Sandor may not be a knight in name, he has a knight's heart. This is the praise given to him by Regent Green."

Princess Arianne turned and looked over. "Why haven't I heard of this?"

In response to her unpleasant question, Margaret just smiled and said nothing.

The hound's eyes quickly swept over the two troublesome women as his angry black eyes met the smiling brown eyes. Then, he suddenly said, "The regent is very satisfied with my silence."

Hearing this, the two women looked at the hound.

He naturally looked towards the beautiful garden not far away. After a moment of silence, he said, "Women may not necessarily be like that."

His response made Arianne's mouth twitch, and Margaery couldn't help but smile.

Although Monton is too fat, he is very fast.

His figure reappeared in front of the door, and he stretched out a hand towards the inside: "Princess Martell, Miss Tyrell, please."

In accordance with the new audience etiquette of the Red Keep, Arianne's Sand Snake sisters and Margaery's Rose Maid stayed outside, and only the two of them followed Ser Monton into the throne room.

.........

The sound of footsteps approached, and Margaery and Arianne came hand in hand.

Green: “…”

Arianne wore a white off-the-shoulder dress with gold trim, while Margaery wore a green round-neck off-the-arm dress.

"Your Highness Green."

"Your Highness the Regent."

Leaning back in his chair, Green waved his hand casually at the two of them who were bowing, and said, "Please take a seat, Princess Arianne, Lady Margaery."

Princess Arianne then moved to her old seat at the head left of the long table in the Royal Council, which was also the Lord Chancellor's chair.

Margaret naturally sat in her father's old seat - the first right seat at the long table of the Royal Council, which was also the Prime Minister's chair.

Crash---

The maids in the throne room brought golden wine glasses and flagons, filled them with wine, and then retreated silently.

After they took a sip of wine, Green spoke slowly: "Ladies, what's the matter?"

Princess Arianne put down her glass, shrugged, and said, "It's for Princess Daenerys's welcoming ceremony."

Green raised her eyebrows slightly, and she continued, "The seventy-seven septas who entered the city with Princess Daenerys have been selected, and Archbishop Olidor and Archbishop Zari (under Green's arrangement, the Church of the Seven Kingdoms now has two archbishops, one is the Great Sept of Harrenhal, and the other is the Great Sept of King's Landing) hope to add another seventy-seven monks."

Princess Arianne glanced at Margaery and added, "I didn't agree, but she respected the church's proposal."

After experiencing shock after shock, Lord Green suddenly felt that Little Rose seemed to have upgraded.

When he looked over, their eyes met. She had a court smile on her face, which contained five parts of smile, three parts of sadness and two parts of pain, which just made him... couldn't help but feel some guilt and regret.

The strange thing is... Green actually had the illusion that he was looking in the mirror.

His expression became gentler: "Please let me hear your reasons, Miss Margery."

Margaret flexed her fingers slightly, nodded slightly, and said, "Regent Green, the church's proposal is a bit sudden, but they are well-intentioned..."

Princess Arianne interrupted coldly: "The people of the church are very grateful for the support of the Tyrell family."

Margaery's eyes moved, she smiled and said, "I support keeping their proposal. After all... King's Landing is very sensitive to any conflict nowadays. Princess Arianne, the Great Sept still has the smell of blood."

Her doe eyes turned back to the main seat: "Your Highness, seventeen years have passed... Many people in King's Landing have forgotten the three-headed dragon. The blessing from the Seven Gods is a great gift to the Targaryen royal family."

"uh-huh."

Princess Arianne leaned back in her chair, her breasts surging. "I think the Church is testing the authority of the Council. They are very good at doing this kind of thing."

Hearing this, Margaery chuckled: "The Regent's sword is hanging over King's Landing. How could the church be so offended?"

Green took a sip of summer red, glanced at them, and asked, "Who was the first one to make this request to you?"
