iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 13 Never Forget
Whispering City, the lord's meeting hall.

Lord Grimm, Knight Pell, Knight Mason, Bachelor Al, Butler Herschel, and Empero sat together and discussed the "Eastern Advance" plan to regain the old land.

In the center of the table is a large map of the eastern part of the Crab Claw Peninsula.

The whole plan has been discussed. Green pondered for a while, and said: "Recovering the old land belongs to the expedition, and the security of military supplies is the top priority. At every distance... at normal marching speed, the distance of half a day is used as the standard. A camp protected by wooden walls must be established and gradually advanced."

"Everyone, the Kleiber family has not fought a long-distance expedition away from the territory for more than ten years. In the past, our battles took place near the territory. It is easy to replenish food, and wounded soldiers can also receive timely treatment."

"It's different when you go out of the house. You have to face the enemy at any time around you. If the military supplies are not guaranteed, we may collapse before the battle starts, and we will lose before the battle. As the commander of the army, you must always put the security of military supplies first, and the commanders of the Kleiber family must keep it in mind."

Everyone solemnly replied: "Yes, my lord!"

"Pell, your survey corps needs to set off ahead of time to gather information along the way. The survey corps must select a site for the establishment of the camp ahead of time. When choosing a site for the camp, you must consider the terrain and water sources. I will lead the army to set off in three days."

Green stood up, and everyone followed suit.

Green slowly swept everyone's eyes, and said: "Recover the old land, unite as one!"

"Yes! To recover the old land, unite as one!"

"Recover the old land, unite as one!!"

"Recover the old land, unite as one!!!"

........................

The battle meeting had just ended, and everyone else left the meeting hall, only Butler Herschel stayed behind to report other affairs of the territory to Green.

There are many affairs in the territory, and Herschel butler can only report one by one.

Green was listening attentively when the door of the conference hall was suddenly pushed open, and a tall figure of Surana appeared at the door.

Surana bowed and said: "If you excuse me, my master, I thought the meeting was over."

Green's quiet eyes moved to Surana: "Surana, is there something urgent?"

"Your cousin, Mrs. Lyanna Kleber..."

Before Surana could finish speaking, another tall figure appeared at the door.

The person who came was slender, and unexpectedly resembled Green's appearance by six to seven points. This person was Green's cousin in Surana's mouth—Lianna Kleber.

Green just got up from the chair, and the dusty Lyanna Kleibe had already flung himself into Green's arms, crying, full of grievances.

Green guessed what happened in his mind, but he didn't speak. He just stretched out a hand to Lyanna's back and patted it, silently soothing Lyanna Kleiber's emotions.

After a while, Surana came over, whispered a few words of comfort, helped Lianna Kleber to sit on the chair next to her, and picked up the wine glass to pour a glass of red wine for Lyanna.

Green waited quietly for Lyanna to finish a large glass of red wine in a few sips before saying, "Lianna, tell me why you're so sad, I'm here."

Lyanna had tears in her eyes: "Wushouer wants to divorce me, woo woo woo."

Ushur's full name is Ushur Meka, a merchant in Gull Town in the Valley.Lyanna Kleiber is Ushur Meka who was married to Gulltown in the Vale about four years ago under the arrangement of Green's mother.

How could Lyanna, a nobleman, marry a merchant?
After the War of the Reavers, Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King and the Duke of the Valley, did not relax his suppression of the Crab Claw Peninsula, a loyal minister of the Dragon Family, and the forces in the Valley naturally followed suit.

Green's mother struggled to keep the repressed Kreber family afloat.After persisting for ten years, the exhausted Mother Green chose a decent compromise and pushed Lyanna Kleber, who had just had menstruation, into a noble marriage in the Valley.

The nobles in the valley looked down on the half-savage nobles of the Crab Claw Peninsula, and Green's mother had no choice but to choose Ushur Meka, a businessman who was said to have maintained good relations with various nobles in Seagull Town.

Strictly speaking, this marriage is the humiliation of the valley nobles to the Kleber family.

The aristocrats of the valley have blocked and suppressed the aristocrats of the Crab Claw Peninsula for nearly ten years, and they have long since lost their initial enthusiasm.It has been blocked and suppressed for ten years, and this humiliation is enough to show his loyalty to the Hand of the King, Duke Jon Arryn, and he can let go.

The Kleiber family did hurt their dignity as aristocrats, but their relationship with the Valley did ease after the marriage.The blockade of the Kleiber family was lifted, and itinerant merchants began to enter the territory of the Kleiber family one after another, bringing various urgently needed supplies, and the leather of the Kleiber family could also be sold at normal prices to itinerant merchants from all over the place.

Sacrificing Lyanna Kleiber's marriage gave the Kleiber family a chance to breathe, and the whole incident added up before and after has already buried deep hatred.

It's just that the Kleiber family was too weak at that time, and no one cared too much.

........................

"My cousin, why did he want to divorce you?"

"Wuwuwu, I also found out later that it was a widow of a nobleman in Runestone City who fell in love with Wushouer! That widow has no children yet. After divorcing me, their legitimate sons can inherit the title."

Hearing the answer, Green's slender fingers gripped his knee tightly.

Leanna continued: "Our marriage, I was ridiculed by the people in the valley, if I was divorced, how would I live... I naturally wouldn't agree, he still did something to me, and then I was really scared, so I quietly ran back with the maid while he was out, woohoo!"

Green's eyes narrowed slightly: "It seems that people in the valley really don't take us seriously."

Surana felt sorry for Lyanna to death, and her tone was very angry: "Damn people in the valley, they should all have their necks bitten off by the white ghosts! That villain, Wu Shouer, thought that as long as he divorced Miss Lyanna and married a shameless widow noble, he would become a member of the nobles of the valley. The Kreb family dared not retaliate and could only swallow their anger."

Lyanna nodded sadly, yes, that's what the damn guy thought.

Green rubbed his brows and looked straight at Lyanna: "Cousin Lyanna, everyone in Whisper City has never forgotten your contribution for a day, and you are my family. After you got married, your room has been kept as it is. There are special people cleaning it, as if you have never left this home."

As the lord, Green expressed his attitude, and immediately, Lyanna's eyes filled with enthusiasm: "Green..."

Lyanna felt very uneasy all the way. Green was only 11 years old when she got married, shy and thin.

Green's mother has passed away, and Green, whose memory is quite blurred, inherited the territory and became the lord. Lyanna dare not optimistically imagine Green's attitude towards herself after hearing what happened to her.

Lyanna felt that she had lost face to her family and had no face to face Green, but finally found that she had no other place to go except Whispering City.

Only thinking of Whisper City, which is ridiculed as a wildling country by outsiders, can give Lyanna a sense of security.

So Lyanna came regardless!
The cousin who hasn't seen each other for four years has grown up, and his calm demeanor is reassuring.

Green reached out and gently held Lyanna's slender and cold hand: "Lianna, this will always be your home."

"I want to ask you, will giving you Wushouer's head make you feel better?"
