บท 30: Chapter 29 ( The power of friendship )
And why would I believe that she's your fiancée? If you really want to marry her, and my granddaughter, and Stark's daughter, who will become queen? I doubt the Targaryen girl will accept to be less than that." said Lady Olenna mockingly at King John.
King John replied to Lady Olenna, "Well of course they will all be queens, one of them will be the queen of the north and the other of the south and of course Danny will become the queen of Essos."
Lady Olenna opened her eyes when she heard what King John said. Never before has she seen such a very ambitious person. It was as if he was just that confident that he could unite the two continents beneath him with no problem.
"Dorne and the Vale will also pledge allegiance to me. With this I will possess ninety thousand soldiers. Well more than enough to take the capital, King's Landing." Once more stated King John.
"And who said that Dorn will pledge to you?" said Prince Doran angrily at King John. Even Prince Oberyn looked at King John strangely. Despite their friendship, they did not talk about it. Especially since he had said that Dorn's army would serve him with his war.
"Didn't you tell me that you would help me in return for my offer, and I presented you with two heads of your sister's murderers?!? King John said in anger. King John continued, "Do not think that I do not know your plan to seize the throne. I know everything about your plan of marrying your daughter to Viserys and also sending your son Prince Quentyn to Meereen in order to kidnap the dragons and also to marry your youngest son to Princess Myrcella. All so that you can eliminate the Lannister's and your son becomes the king."
Prince Doran opened his eyes in shock. All these years, he had been plotting with his brother Oberyn about how to eliminate the Lannister's and seize the throne, knowing that his brother would not betray him until he avenged their sister. But now all his plans are revealed in front of everyone.
"As I said, I know everything and everyone should know that I am the person who was born in this world to be The Judge. Everyone who will even think of opposing me, I will destroy them and erase them from the history books forever. I also heard that you have a beautiful daughter, Prince Doran. I will marry her too, and this is proof that I appreciate your services and also my friendship with your brother." King John said to Prince Doran.
Now everyone was silent, they couldn't comprehend what was happening. Every word of King John made them shocked and helpless.
"Well I'm going to give you this night for all of you to think about it. I will also be ready to treat your grandson Lord Willas, Lady Olenna. I heard he can't walk because of an injury when he was riding his horse against Prince Oberyn. My therapists can fix that. Even you Prince Doran, with your illness or maybe I should say my future goodfather (father-in-law)." King John stated to the assembled people.
King John then looked at Lord Stannis, who was silent, with an expression of sadness and irony on his face.
"What else do you want? I don't think I have anything you want." Lord Stannis said in anger.
"In fact, I admire your history and how much you dedicate yourself to naval wars. How about you pledge allegiance to me and serve and become the third commander in my naval fleet. In return, I will support you in order to get to the land of storms and also I can cure your daughter's illness, marry her to Bran Stark, and also I can cure the problem of the infertility of your wife's so that she can give birth to an heir and no longer miscarry.
Even Lord Stannis, who could hardly be touched, was incapable of speech. It was his inability to cure his daughter, and his access to Stormland, something that had made him angry all those decades. But, his hope for that had been dashed many years ago and also by giving him what he most wanted as an heir. So that his heir will bear his name long after his, Lord Stanis, death.
Lord Stannis stared at Ser Davos, who was smiling, knowing that Ser Davos wanted to heal his daughter, Lady Shireen.
"And how am I going to ensure that you can do those things?" Lord Stannis said to King John.
"Well, I'll send a message so my healers can come to DragonStone to treat her. Of course my fleet will arrive with Dorne's soldiers to help you convince the Stormlands Lords to change their minds about you. So what do you say?" Replied King John.
Lord Stannis rose from his seat and swore allegiance to King John right then and there.
"Good if you want to go to Dragonstone tonight, I will send the healers there directly to treat your daughter." Said King John. Then he turned to the Queen of Thorns and said, "I'll give you tonight to think." After this, King John leaves with his guards to his tent. Prince Oberyn followed King John to talk with him.
The fact of the matter is Lady Olenna had already decided what she was going to do and stared at her granddaughter.
Lady Margaery was thinking about what King John had said about unrequited love. She couldn't say she was in love with John despite his handsome appearance. But being married to Lord Renly would no doubt be a very hard life pretending to be in love with a man who loves her own brother more than herself.
Suddenly Lord Loras paused and said, "I won't allow this Grandmother. I will be the next head of House Tyrell."
"Didn't you hear what King John just said you fool!" Lady Olenna said right away. "King John said his people could heal Willas, your older brother. So shut up, sit down, and shut your mouth. Even though you are my grandson, I still prefer Willas more. Also after Willas is healed he will become the next head of the family." Lady Olenna said rather harshly. Then she turns to Lord Renly and says, "As for Lord Renly, I apologize but that's my granddaughter. The marriage will be canceled and I advise you to go to Stormlands when the news spreads about your brother's supporters. I doubt that your people will prefer you to your brother who has the greater support of King John." Finishing her statement, Lady Olenna left the room with Lady Margaery following right behind her.
"Listen, brother, I now have a friend. I think that's what you wished for." Lord Stannis said. Lord Stannis smiled for the first time before he got up and left with Ser Davos, who stared at Melisandre's corpse, smiling, and then followed Lord Stannis.
"Come on say it." Lord Stannis said to Davos, who was trying to say something to him.
"Would you really have killed your brother Lord Renly if Melisandra had not died?" Davos said to him.
Lord Stannis looked at him angrily but calmed down. Releasing a breath said, "Yes I would have. I admit I would have paid any price for the Iron Throne. Melisandre had always misled me about being the chosen man, unlike my elder brother who underestimated me all the time even though I served him and devoted my energy and time to fulfill his expectations. And now that bitch is dead, and if King John could do what he said, I would have no regrets in my life," said Lord Stannis, closing his eyes tiredly.
Ser Davos was shocked to hear about it. Lord Stannis was always so secretive and never shared his feelings. Then Ser Davos said to Lord Stannis seriously, "So how are we going to get to Dragonstone?"
Lord Stannis smiled. He knew Ser Davos was trying to change the subject and left with him for Dragonstone.
