Chapter 48 The Iron Guard breaks his oath, that's a tradition!
Dorne's inheritance laws are different from those of other countries in the Seven Kingdoms.
According to the Dornish inheritance law (similar to the Basque inheritance law), "the fiefdoms and titles of nobles are inherited by legitimate children, and inheritance is only sorted by age, regardless of gender."
Therefore, as the eldest daughter, Arianne Maltai has the legal inheritance rights of Dorne and Sunspear.
But Princess Arianne has always been worried about this. When she was a child, she saw a letter from her father to her brother Quentin, in which Prince Daulan would let Quentin inherit Dorne!
Moreover, the marriage partners her father had introduced to her over the years were all ugly old men, none of whom were under sixty years old! This made Arianne feel resentful.
The incident with the Red Viper has heightened the desire to fight throughout Dorne, but Doran chose to endure it. Arianne saw an opportunity!
And coincidentally, at this time, Lin En launched an attack on the Lianghe Peninsula, and swept through three cities in a row, completely occupying the Lianghe Peninsula!
The whole of Dorne was shaken, and there was an uproar in Sunspear. Prince Doran was criticized by many people, thinking that by agreeing to Nightsong's allegiance, he was creating enemies for Dorne, and he should be responsible for this.
Prince Doran was suffering from gout and had long ignored political affairs in Fallingwater Gardens where he lived all year round, so he sent Arianne to Yronwood City to negotiate with Lynn!
Arianne was so happy!
This is simply a God-given opportunity. If this matter can be settled, it will greatly enhance her prestige. Moreover, Yronwood City is very powerful and is the most powerful force in Dorne territory second only to Maltai. If she helps this time
They succeeded in rescuing the siege, and they were able to win their support. It was just a matter of killing two birds with one stone!
Arianne stepped into the city of Yronwood excitedly, and sent an envoy across the South River that day to invite Lynn to negotiate.
Lin En received the envoy at the camp on the other side of the South River,
This was a tall, strong man wearing a hood. After entering the tent, he opened his hood, saluted and said, "Your Majesty the Duke!"
"Sir Aris?" Linn was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed.
"If I remember correctly, shouldn't Sir protect Princess Myrcella?"
The man who came here was known to Lin En. He was a member of the Kingsguard when Joffrey was on the throne. Later, he was arranged to protect Myrcella when she married Dorne. How could he appear here at this time? Could something have happened to Myrcella?
?
What will happen to Myrcella? Is she dead? Or is she imprisoned? If something happens to Myrcella, what attitude will King's Landing take? Will it officially declare war on Dorne?
In an instant, Lin En's mind went through many thoughts.
"The princess is safe!" Aris's words made Linn more interested.
"The princess is safe and sound. What are you doing here? Who are you here to represent? Is it tradition for the Kingsguard to break their oath?"
Lin En's words made Aris's face turn red! He held his hand fiercely on the hilt of the sword,
With a crash, a sharp sword was pointed at him. Lin En's guards glared at him and almost swarmed him and divided him.
Aris took a deep breath and let go of his hand, "I have not betrayed my oath. I will protect the safety and interests of the princess with my life!"
"I am here this time to represent both Princess Myrcella and Princess Arianne! I am here to agree on matters to be discussed with you!"
Lin En stared at his face and thought to himself:
"What the hell, this guy definitely betrayed Myrcella! Is the position of the Kingsguard cursed? Why does it seem that all the famous Iron Guards are guys who betray their oath! I will definitely not create this position in the future!"
"Ahem, let's get to the point!" Lin En asked, clearing her throat.
Aris said in a deep voice: "The princess invites you to negotiate in Yronwood City!"
Simple and direct, willing to say a word more than necessary, obviously angry at Lin En's humiliation just now,
As soon as he said this, there were voices of opposition in the war, and Goss and Norton even said bluntly:
"You adults are not allowed to go there. This is their territory. If you want to talk, let their princess come here to talk!"
Lin En waved his hand and the tent became quiet.
This is really an interesting thing. Aris only mentioned the princess, but not the one. Where is the princess in Yronwood? What is the purpose of finding oneself? If it is Princess Arianne, Linn does have it.
Meet the sexual interest,
I have long heard of the beauty and beauty of this desert rose, but I don’t know how many beauty it has.
As for the safety issues that his subordinates were worried about, Linn never considered it. What he should worry about was anyone sitting across from him.
"I agree! Let your princess get ready and I will go see her in person tomorrow!"
As soon as Lin En finished speaking, not to mention the generals in the tent, even Aris looked at him in surprise.
Negotiations are not always about finding a neutral place to negotiate. He said that the negotiations in Yronwood City were also waiting for Lynn to bargain.
Unexpectedly, he actually agreed?
Is this confidence or stupidity?
Aris suppressed his doubts and said quickly: "Then I'll take my leave. The princess is waiting for you in Yronwood City!"
After saying the salute, he turned and left,
"Sir! Please bring more guards with you!" After Aris left, no one in the tent dared to persuade him to change his mind, so they had to ask for more guards to ensure Lin En's safety to the greatest extent.
Linn rejected their offer to take five thousand cavalry with them!
It’s not like we were fighting in the past,
Early the next morning, Linn crossed the North River with a hundred heavy cavalry, and headed straight for Yronwood City accompanied by Dornish soldiers on the other side who were on guard.
After a while, Linn saw the flag flying on Yronwood City, and a black gate on the yellow sand dune, which meant that the stone road was guarded.
The stone road is the bone road. The city of Yronwood is the last gate to protect the stone road, so it has the title of "Stone Road Guardian". The family emblem is a black gate on the sand. Their family motto is "I guard the road."
Moreover, Linn also specifically learned about this family. Since the times of the ancestors, the Yronwood family has established its own rule in the valley and green hills near the stone road. They are known as the "Nobles of Blood" and "Lord of the Green Mountains".
The High King of En and "Lord of the Stone Road" are the titles. Moreover, there are different mineral deposits and timber in their territory, making the Yronwood family the richest and most powerful royal family in Dorne.
When they were at their most powerful, they ruled half of Dorne, and their territory extended southward from the territory of the Will family in the Crimson Mountains to the source of the Greenblood River. They were far more powerful than other Dornish kings or the Martell family.
However, although this family was once so powerful, they never unified Dorne!
On the one hand, it was because many attempts ended in failure, and on the other hand, it was also because he was in an environment that was often attacked by the Stormlands and Reach Highgarden, and was never able to go all out, so in the end he became the Warrior Queen of Rhoyna.
After leading thousands of ships to the west, the reign of the Yronwood family for thousands of years ended.
Nymeria married Morse Martell, and the Rhoynar she brought also greatly increased the power of the Martell family and unified Dorne!
This is also the reason why women have the same inheritance rights as men in Dorne.
