章節 152: Chapter 152: The Heir of Stormland
The shrimp head had its limbs broken by Walker and then thrown into the sea.
The shrimp head slowly sank in the deep sea and gradually lost consciousness. Then a thick tentacle suddenly pulled the shrimp head into the abyss.
On the deck, Jack learned from Walker the origin of the shrimp head and why it appeared in Seal Bay.
During the War of the Five Kings, Balon Greyjoy proclaimed himself king and gave his daughter Asha Greyjoy thirty clipper ships to plunder the North and attack Deepwood Motte.
At that time, Theon Greyjoy betrayed Robb and was assigned a longship, the Sea Bitch, by King Balon. Theon gloriously became the captain of the Sea Bitch.
Later, Theon launched a surprise attack on Winterfell, and the undefended Winterfell was directly captured by Theon, but Theon did not have enough troops to defend the city.
His sister Asha Greyjoy, who is Yara in the TV series, once persuaded Theon to retreat because the ironborn did not have the ability to defend the city deep into the continent.
But Theon did not listen to his sister's advice. Instead, he insisted on staying in Winterfell to prove himself.
But unfortunately, Theon's men did not want to follow Theon to death, so his men knocked Theon unconscious and left him in Winterfell.
In the end, Theon fell into the hands of Ramsay the Flayed. Facing Ramsay's endless torture, Theon seemed to have aged 40 years.
When Asha and Theon met again, Asha almost didn't recognize Theon.
According to Shrimphead's explanation, Asha, who occupied Deepwood Motte, has returned to the Iron Islands to attend the kingsmoot.
Because Balon Greyjoy accidentally fell and died when he was crossing the bridge, and Euron Greyjoy returned to the Iron Islands just after Balon died.
As Balon's legitimate heir was captured by the Bolton family and his life or death was unknown, the Iron Islands held a kingsmoot meeting after a lapse of 2,000 years under the chairmanship of Balon's younger brother Aeron.
His eldest brother Euron Greyjoy, his second brother Victarion Greyjoy, and his eldest daughter Asha Greyjoy will compete for the throne.
Jack narrowed his eyes. Although the Iron Islands had barren land, they were rich in iron ore resources. At all times, steel production was one of the most important resources for industrialization.
As far as he knew, Euron gave a charismatic speech at the meeting, and with the Dragonbinder's horn in his hand, he promised the Ironborn that they would ride dragons to conquer the entire Westeros. He eventually won the victory and became Balon's heir.
The soul of an old dragon is imprisoned in the Dragonbinder's Horn. Every time the horn is blown, it can destroy the will of other dragons, and then enslave other dragons with the dragon's might.
However, if the soul of the person blowing the horn is not strong enough, his soul will be burned by the horn, and his body will be covered with blisters and he will be scalded to death.
At the same time, Asha Greyjoy will realize that her situation is not good and escape, then return to Deepwood Motte, and finally be captured by Stannis.
But now that Stannis is dead, Jack can just go to Deepwood Motte and wait for his opportunity, then capture Asha Greyjoy and rule the Iron Islands with Asha Greyjoy's identity.
In the original book, in order to prevent Asha from gaining support from other forces through marriage, Euron Greyjoy married Asha to Eli the Anvil Breaker without her knowledge.
Jack certainly does not have enough manpower to turn both Westeros and Essos into a centralized system. That would require an unimaginably large bureaucracy. Otherwise, if local officials were unable to suppress local nobles, the feudal system would be better.
So Jack plans to continue to use the feudal system after conquering Westeros, but the dukes in various places need to be replaced by his own people.
For example, in the Iron Islands and the Stormlands, the easiest way is to let Asha Greyjoy and Myrcella Baratheon give Jack a child, preferably a boy.
As for monogamy, it only constrains the players, not the game rule makers.
"Ge, take Borisaf, Uribe, and Ulrich to the Last Hearth City. Volker, I'll leave the Poseidon to you. You don't have to stay in Seal Bay any longer. Just head back to Poseidon Island."
Walker frowned, then knelt down in front of Jack.
"Your Majesty, please let me follow you. If you continue like this, I will go crazy."
After a little thought, Jack nodded and agreed to Volk's request, and asked Ge to take the Poseidon back to Poseidon Island, with Volk replacing Ge.
Ge had no opinion. He did whatever Jack said and he had no subjective idea about whether to fight with Jack.
Then Jack went to the cabin and pulled out Mircella who was hiding.
Daenerys was a little surprised. "This little girl is your adopted lover? You like small ones? I remember you like mature ones, right?"
"This is Myrcella Baratheon, the third princess of House Baratheon, daughter of the Usurper."
"The Usurper has three children, two sons and one daughter. His elder brother, Joffrey Baratheon, was poisoned at his wedding, and now her younger brother, Tommen Baratheon, sits on the Iron Throne."
Daenerys's face changed suddenly. She didn't expect that it was the usurper's daughter, but then Dany's face returned to normal.
He smiled and patted Misella's head, "This girl is so beautiful, are you going to take her in?"
Mircella also looked at Jack. As a royal princess, she understood that she could not choose her own marriage. The only contribution she could make to the family was to arrange a marriage.
If Jack marries her, then her and Jack's children will be the legal heirs to the Stormlands after the death of Robert, Stannis, Renly, Joffrey, and Tommen.
Jack nodded without any hesitation, "When she turns 14, I will make her a princess, and when she has a child, I will make her the Duke of Stormland."
Dany nodded. This was a good idea. She could bring the Stormlands under the rule of her own bloodline.
Misella's little face suddenly frowned. Although she knew that she could not escape the fate of arranged marriage, she still felt uncomfortable when others talked about her future in front of her.
Jack reached out and picked up Myrcella, then entered the dragon spirit state and called Korak down.
The size of the dragon saddle is updated roughly once a month. Although the seat is not very large, Myrcella's body is so soft and boneless that she can sit directly in Jack's arms.
But Myrcella needed to stick close to Jack's arms.
Daenerys also called Drogon, and then the three of them rode the dragon back to Hearth City quickly.
Walker and his four companions took a small boat to the shore and then rode to the Last Hearth City.
After everyone left, Ge commanded the Poseidon to return to Neptune Island. At this time, the Poseidon had been at sea for almost a year, so it was a good time to go back for maintenance.
