Chapter 137
The western part of the continent of Essos, the area controlled by the nine Free Federation cities, all submitted to Robb's rule.
Unlike the rule of Westeros, everything here maintains the original system, and Robb does not interfere too much.
What Robb wants is the resources and unimpeded trade here.
A month later, the banquet in Tyrosh resumed.
This time, all the governors, consuls, and princes of all federal cities were present, whether they wanted to or not.
The city lords who had only sent envoys before were even more confused.
They already knew the fate of the two cities that openly opposed Robb, and now they were afraid that they would follow in their footsteps, so their attitude was even more humble.
"This is a fine grape wine produced on the Arbor Island. Even in Westeros, this is a rare treasure. His Majesty Robb personally enjoys a bottle every month."
At the banquet, Earl Redwyne began to promote his own wine according to Robb's request.
As the emperor who single-handedly conquered a Federation city on a dragon, Robb's reputation was unparalleled.
At this time, he also became the chief spokesperson of Qingting Island wine.
Many ladies and younger nobles came forward curiously.
They were the first group of people to be impressed by Robb. The women were strong, and the young men always liked those heroic knight stories. When they heard that His Majesty Robb's favorite wine was available, they all came to check it out.
After seeing the price, these people were shocked: "So expensive?!"
Earl Redwin laughed: "Don't look at how expensive it is. How many people want to buy it but can't buy it! Every year, the Stark royal family alone uses half of it!"
"The royal wine of the Stark royal family..."
Many people were attracted by this name and thought that if they could buy a bottle, would they have the same taste and status as the Stark royal family?
For a time, there were actually many people who were ready to make a move.
"My lords, if you think this price is too expensive, we also have two options: bronze label and silver label."
After seeing everyone's reaction, Earl Redwin began to promote the concept of grading while the iron was hot.
-
At the same time, at the edge of the banquet, in a luxurious box.
Robb officially spoke to the governors of nine cities simultaneously.
This is a strange sight. Over the years, almost no one has been able to call all nine of them to his inner court at the same time.
But Robb did it, and it was so easy.
"I'm glad you can come here. Although there were some misunderstandings between us before, the misunderstanding has been resolved now. We are all friends. Cheers to our friendship."
Robb chatted briefly, picked up Qingting Island's gold label wine, and motioned for everyone to take a sip.
As the wine entered their throats, many of the consuls' eyes suddenly lit up: Good wine!
They had never drunk this kind of wine before, but it had a unique flavor. They could tell that the geographical location of the place where the grapes were produced must be very advantageous.
"I believe you all know why I came to summon you here. It's very simple. I hope everyone will make a fortune together..."
Robb explained his plunder plan in detail, right in front of his master, without any scruples, and even without covering up many aspects.
Let me tell everyone straightforwardly: I just want to make money through unequal trade!
In my Westeros Empire, the things officially sold by the Stark family are more expensive than the original ones!
My fleet comes to buy your goods, and the price must be low!
The money earned is divided into [-]% and [-]%.
You can earn more and get three. Your Majesty Robb is considerate of the people and you can get less. Seven is enough.
Even so, these archons still need to see Robb's face.
"Your Majesty takes such great care of us, it makes us feel ashamed!"
"We will never let down His Majesty's trust!"
With flattering smiles, they raised their glasses to celebrate their new ruler.
Robb looked at these false smiles and knew in his heart that they were just making excuses with him.
There are too many tricks in the division of accounts. They will not hand over [-]% of the profits so easily. This is more uncomfortable than killing them.
But it doesn't matter, Robb is not in a hurry, as long as he can have a large amount of money in his pocket.
When all the talents in his own city are cultivated and a large number of elites from the Westeros Empire come to Essos to help Robb divide their property, that's when things will really get on track.
Now Robb guarantees smooth shipping and trade priority.
-
In the south-central part of Essos continent, Meereen is far away from the nine Free Federation cities.
This is Slaver's Bay, the most active slave area in the world.
In Meereen City, a silver-haired woman was sitting in the Lord's Hall. The sun shone on her hair, making her look even more beautiful and charming.
However, such a beauty had a sad face, her chin resting on her hands and her brows furrowed.
She is Daenerys Targaryen, a woman with countless titles.
"I heard that the slave cities I liberated fell into chaos, and those nobles regained leadership of the cities after I left."
The leader of the Unsullied, Gray Worm said respectfully: "These restored cities sent you thirteen ships. I hope you can forgive their actions."
"They don't want to ask for my forgiveness, they want to ask me to leave here and stop disturbing them."
"If I don't leave, they will attack us."
Daenerys knows that those slave owners are just jackals. Although they are not strong, as long as you turn your back and expose your flaws, they will pounce on you and bite you hard.
"I also want to return to Westeros, but they only gave me thirteen ships, which is too few, and not enough for the Unsullied Legion to return fully armed.
What's more, now that I can't even manage a city well, how can I rule that continent? "
Daenerys has been suffering from insomnia for a long time, and her career has not been going well since Meereen was conquered.
She wanted to be a good ruler and first abolished slaves.
But soon some slaves were begging their masters to take them in because they could not afford to eat.
The three giant dragons grew bigger and bigger, and became increasingly violent as they reached adolescence. They often went out to rob livestock. One woman even accused her child of being burned to death by the giant dragons.
Whether it's true or not, that doesn't matter.
Anyway, this incident has caused panic in Meereen.
In order to control them, Daenerys had the dragons imprisoned in the dungeon, but Drogon burned dozens of people to death and ran away. Now she only has two dragons.Many people immediately felt rebellious when they saw that Daenerys' control over the dragons was not that strong.
There were already forces against Daenerys in Meereen, and now they have become even more powerful.
An organization called the "Harpy" appeared, causing assassinations and terrorist attacks everywhere in the city of Meereen, facing Daenerys' supporters.
For a time, people in the city were panicked.
"what should I do……"
Daenerys asked herself.
"I have captured many noble hostages, but the assassination activities have not stopped for a moment. It seems that this matter will not work."
"Perhaps I should be engaged to Hizda, as long as he guarantees that there will be no more assassination attempts in Meereen for ninety days."
"But... Hizda is a noble of Meereen. Will he really help me? Is this a conspiracy?"
After all, Daenerys is just a little girl now. Although she has magical powers and can control the three-headed dragon, she has no abilities herself!
Any strong man or woman can give her a threat.
And at that time, what use could the giant dragon be?
"The dragon...the harpy..."
While Daenerys was thinking, Daario, the leader of the Stormcrows, walked in.
Daario was a handsome and capable man. He coveted Daenerys's beauty, killed several other captains, and took his men to the Dragon Mother.
Daenerys knew his intentions because he never hid his love, which was as intense as fire.
Daario knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, there is a group of people said to be from Westeros who want to defect to you."
"From Westeros?"
Daenerys was a little surprised. She had never contacted anyone in Westeros. How could such a group of people appear?
Soon, Euron and Earl Hightower were brought in, who had all their weapons removed.
"Your Majesty, we are the Greyjoys and the Hightowers..."
Before he finished speaking, Ba, the former Kingsguard, recognized Earl Hightower at a glance. He asked in surprise: "Earl Hightower, why are you here?"
As the leader of the Kingsguard for several dynasties, Bao Ba came across the ocean to find Daenerys and continue to serve him since he was exiled by Joffrey.
He is well-informed, and the famous Hightower family is a family that he can easily hear without knowing much about it.
He leaned close to Daenerys and whispered about the status and strength of the Hightower family.
There is also a brief introduction to the squid family to which Euron Greyjoy belongs.
Both of these families can be called families with a long history and profound foundation.
Daenerys was also surprised. What were these two ancient families, who had ruled Westeros longer than the Targaryens, doing here?
Is the guy with the eyepatch next to him Greyjoy?
That guy makes me uncomfortable and looks so sinister and disgusting.
Earl Hightower said respectfully: "Descendant of the great Targaryen family, the thing is like this..."
After briefly telling the current information about Westeros, Hightower began to tell Robb's recent whereabouts.
"That Robb Stark is a complete madman! Not only has he ruled half of Westeros, but he also wants to continue to advance eastward. At this time, he is at war with the nine Free Federation cities!"
"I'm afraid, his purpose is not for the city, but for you, Your Majesty!"
Lord Hightower added fuel to the fire and fanned the flames just to make Daenerys believe that Robb was her enemy.
It must be said that Daenerys was easily convinced by Hightower's words.
Although she was still young, she also knew that one of the main forces rebelling against her family was the "Stark family of the North".
It is someone the Targaryen family must never forget and give up revenge on.
Now that Duke Stark is dead, and his son has come to the continent of Essos, it goes without saying that he must be after him.
Euron stood up and said: "So we are here to serve the Targaryen family. We only hope that we can fight back to Westeros together and kill all the Stark family!"
The Hightowers followed the Tyrells during the Rebellion, and the Tyrells fought for the Targaryens.
So Daenerys has a good impression of Lord Hightower.
In addition, Euron was originally a mercenary and led troops to fight in the West during the rebellion, so he had no deep hatred against the Targaryen family.
In addition, they brought a group of troops, which was of great help to Daenerys in ruling Meereen.
So Daenerys had no hesitation in accepting the allegiance of these two men.
"Very well, I am willing to accept your allegiance. I swear on the name of the Targaryen family that when we return to Westeros, you will regain your family territory!"
Euron stood up and made another request: "I also hope to marry and betrothed to your Majesty... You know, we are a team with a fleet and strength, so we need a guarantee..."
Before Euron finished speaking, the guards beside Daario jumped out.
"You fart! I am the one who is going to marry Her Majesty the Queen!"
Dario looked in disbelief. Why did so many people compete with him for women today?
Forget about this one-eyed dragon that came out of nowhere, you are my attendant, why do you dare to jump out?
Daenerys was also a little confused, not knowing where this little guard was selling what medicine.
"I am the prince of Dorne, Quentin Martel!" The guard finally revealed his identity.
He took out a note: "My father, Prince Doran of Dorne, originally wanted to marry my sister to your brother Viserys, but he died, so here I am."
"This is a letter written by my father himself. As long as your majesty is willing to marry me, we Dorne will be completely loyal to the Targaryen family and continue our previous friendship!"
Dorne is often married to the Targaryen family, and the prince's name is also derived from the marriage.
Originally, Quentin wanted to hide his identity for a while, but the appearance of these two people disrupted his rhythm, so he had to jump out in advance.
Dorne... Greyjoy... Hightower family, why do so many appear at once?
At this time, Daenerys remembered her prophecy:
"The glass candle is burning. Soon the white mare will come, and behind her will come other things. Kraken and black fire, lions and griffins, children of the sun and the actor's dragon. Do not trust any of them. One. Remember the words of the Immortal. Beware the perfumed steward.”
Dorne…Children of the Sun…
Euron...according to what Old Bar said, his family emblem is probably the sea monster...
Can't trust any of them.
Daenerys thinks of the second half of the prophecy.
Thank you [Book Friend 20190904133405352] for the reward.
