Capítulo 166: Chapter 166: Benefits and Betrayal
Lyanna looked distracted after coming out of Jack's study.
Borisaph looked at Lyanna in surprise and thought to himself, so fast?
Feeling Borysav's gaze, Lyanna glared at him angrily, then turned and left.
Borisaph frowned and looked at Lyanna's back. He didn't know how he had offended her.
The next day, Jack summoned all his vassals, including Cassino and others, to the scene.
After everyone arrived, Jack clapped his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"Everyone, we have now occupied half of the northern border, but I have bad news for you."
"Everyone, the bloodline of the Stark family has lost all contact. Sansa Stark married Tyrion Lannister and disappeared at the Purple Wedding. There is still no news about her. So I decided to re-canonize a Duke of the North."
There was a sudden noise. In fact, they all knew the situation of the Stark family. It was well known that Joffrey was poisoned to death at his own wedding. Sansa Stark, who disappeared at the same time, became the most likely murderer.
Even if Sansa Stark is not the murderer, she will be identified as the murderer, or to be more precise, as an accomplice, because Cersei has determined that the murderer is Tyrion.
But Jack had already prepared a large number of letters and leaflets, waiting for the right time to tell the story of Petyr Baelish and Olenna's poisoning.
Due to the limited number of ravens, Jack could only arrange for some people to sneak into King's Landing with leaflets, and then have a large number of people spread the information together, not giving the Lannisters any chance to suppress the matter. You have to hit the snake at its most vulnerable part.
"Your Majesty, who would you like to appoint as the new Guardian of the North?" A sinister look flashed in Cassinoa's eyes.
Other nobles are also looking forward to it. The Stark family is now as good as extinct, and the new Guardian of the North means a new distribution of power.
"According to my discussion with the three earls, I have decided to appoint the Mormont family as the new guardian family of the North. What do you think?"
Jack narrowed his eyes and looked at everyone with a smile on his face, as if to tell them to just speak up if they had any objections.
Many nobles looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. Now, these Northern nobles who had defected to Jack were generally barons. The new Northern Duke would definitely be born among the three earls, but they did not expect it to be the Mormont family of Bear Island.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, the Mormont family of Bear Island was the first Northern family to support Jack.
Jack wants to conquer Westeros as the King of the Sea, which is essentially no different from Aegon's war of conquest.
They followed Jack because they wanted to take a chance, not wanting to be the first group of nobles to be eliminated in the long night to come.
"I support your majesty's decision!" Tormund was the first to express his opinion, followed by Segun and Kasar, who also expressed their opinions and decided to support the Mormont family.
Some barons also expressed their willingness to support the Mormont family to become the new ducal family in the North. The number of soldiers under their command did not exceed fifty at most.
So since they chose to serve Jack, they naturally followed Jack's pace.
But some people didn't think so. Cassinoa stood up and said, "Your Majesty, although we have all sworn allegiance to you, you promised before that the Stark family would still be the guardian family of the North. Now you suddenly change it. Isn't this asking us to betray our own lord?"
Jack looked at Cassinoa with a smile, he knew that this guy would never stay still.
"I do want the Stark family to continue to be the guardian of the North. After all, the Stark family has been protecting the North for eight thousand years. However, the Stark family does not have an heir now. Do we have to move the statue of Eddard Stark out of the cellar of Winterfell?"
After Jack finished speaking, many nobles showed their agreement. If the Stark family still had an heir, they would definitely support the Stark family.
But now that the Stark family has no clear living heir, we can't really go to Winterfell to move the statue of Eddard Stark, can we?
"Your Majesty, of the five children of the Stark family, only Robb, Bran, and Rickon are dead, but Sansa and Arya are just missing. I don't think we should jump to conclusions so hastily."
Cassinoa just didn't want Lyanna Mormont to become the Duke of the North. The ridicule of the little girl was still vivid in his mind, and Cassinoa would never forget it.
"What you said is not without reason, but Viscount Cassinoa, a group of dragons cannot be without a leader for a day. You have all witnessed the ability of Earl Lyanna Mormont. She is more than qualified to be the Duke of the North."
"And Sansa Stark is already Tyrion Lannister's wife. Tywin's eldest son is a member of the Kingsguard. Even if Sansa is still alive, she is still a widow of the Lannister family.
If Arya Stark is still alive, I will give her the Dreadfort as compensation, but there is no other way unless we have definite information about the heir of the Stark family. "
"Also, Viscount Cassinoa, I have something to ask you." Jack took out a letter while speaking.
Originally, Cassinoa saw that Jack was determined to support Lyanna Mormont to become the Duke of the North, and he was thinking that since he couldn't stop him, he would offer Lyanna's head to Roose Bolton, so that his contribution would be even greater.
But when Cassinoa saw Jack holding a letter and saying that he had something to ask him, a bad premonition came to his mind.
"Lord Lyanna, please take the trouble to read this letter to everyone."
As the protagonist of today, Lyanna has not spoken a word. To be honest, she is still a little confused.
Originally he just wanted a piece of land, but he was promoted to the position of Duke of the North.
"Your Excellency Lord Roose Bolton, Warden of the North, Lord of the ancient and noble House of Bolton, please allow me to do so."
As Lyanna read, everyone looked at Cassinoa and the other two viscounts angrily.
They were all small nobles, with dozens of people with them. To put it bluntly, they wanted to follow Jack and the savages to gain some benefits and accumulate some money for the winter.
You might as well sell us out, make a fortune, and then prepare to spend the long night in comfort.
"You son of a bitch, you are such a 'smart guy'. You just sold all of us out and enjoy the wealth and glory yourself, right?" A hot-tempered nobleman cursed.
They just wanted to get some money to survive the winter. If they didn't want to be loyal to Jack, they could just take their men and go directly to Roose Bolton.
But now you are purely betraying others, sacrificing everyone's interests to satisfy your own selfish desires. How can you not make them angry?
