Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 338 Wedding preparations
When Advisor Romon said these words, Stannis secretly observed Robert's reaction the whole time, but to his disappointment, his little brother looked like he was listening to a story the whole time.

At this time, Dinah also calculated the strength of Stannis's hidden allies, "There are 600 people in total, because there is a large plain, so if they can join your camp, they can provide the second best cavalry in the Principality of Tanis!"

"Cavalry? But I don't remember seeing any cavalry dispatched by Wayne's family during the White Expedition?" Stannis was very surprised, but when he thought that although the Marquis Wayne was young, the old fox Seaworth was beside him, It is not difficult to imagine that they must have hidden a hand of cards and did not play.

"1200+400+700+4500+4600, a total of 11400 people, and I still have a mercenary regiment to use." Under the best expectations, Stannis has about one-third the strength of Duke Garcia, I don't know how many anti-bone boys there are.

"Then the other lords, except Garcia's hardcore, will the other lords take a neutral attitude? After all, I have spent a lot of money to establish diplomatic relations with them."

Counselor Romon slapped his lips, "It's hard, unless we can win a battle, those guys will not let go of the opportunity to follow the Duke's army to make merit even if they sympathize with us."

After another heated discussion, Stannis probably knew what cards he had in his hand, and the gap between him and the duke hadn't narrowed, so he had no choice but to continue to be a man, lest the duke find a reason to attack him, but The good news here is that it seems that the Duke's eldest son Junian is not so hostile to him.

"Okay, we've been discussing for a long time with no results. I'm hungry. I'm going to find Anya for dinner. Don't bother me!" Stannis wanted to go out after speaking, but Dinah pulled him down.

"Huh? Xiaona, what's the matter?"

"Remember to attend Sir Hillier's wedding next week, which will be held at his castle."

"Yeah, remember, by the way, what's the name of his bride?"

After a peaceful week, no one seemed to come to beat Chiveni, and the people of the Westland also felt that it was more suitable for picnics than murder in this warming spring, and Stannis became the one who was beaten again. Forgotten remote lord, of course he would rather be so now.

During this period of time, Stannis was not idle. The preferential policies in his expanded territory attracted more farmers to migrate to his territory. Coupled with his good reputation, it was only one week and nearly two weeks. Hundreds of farmers moved in voluntarily. Most of them were refugees from the west. It was said that when the river thawed, the upstream flood caused many people to become homeless.

Now Stannis will accumulate all his strength. Although he knows that his hope is slim, the road ahead is not all dark.

As for Anya, she didn't seem to let go of her heart because of the death of the Laughing Man. She knew that she had cut off an evil hand, but the real master behind the scenes who waved that hand and dragged their family into the abyss was still behind the scenes. with everything.

And now the owner of this black hand stretched out the rest of his hand to at least the man who loved her, which made her unhappy.

But now Stannis, who is so busy that he is going crazy, obviously has no time to take care of his identified lover. He now writes more than a dozen letters every day to get acquainted with lords he knows or does not know. Although most of them have not replied, as long as Just one reply can make the lord happy for a long time, which means that there is one more potential ally who can be hooked up.

But the most important thing now is Hillier's wedding. Stannis couldn't figure out why the viscount, who had always been farsighted, chose to get married in this troubled time. Doesn't he think it's not chaotic enough now?

"Carrot, tell me again, what is the origin of Hillier's son, why the whole Garcia family opposes this marriage, and most importantly, why do they want to get married at this time?"

Robert on the opposite side crossed his legs, and the days when he didn't have to be the earl were really very comfortable.

"What's a horse? That's Sofia, the second daughter whom the honorable Duke Garcia loves the most. Although the old man kept getting divorced and divorced in order to climb up to a high position, his wife changed seven or eight times, but It is said that the woman he loves the most is the wife of his first wife who came to Tanis with him. Everyone who has seen her feels Garcia's good luck. And that first wife also gave birth to three children for him, except for the eldest daughter who died young. , and the rest are the eldest son Junian and the second daughter Sophia."

"Oh, so the eldest son, no wonder that guy named Hunian is always so pushy, presumably the two of them are the Duke's favorite."

"Of course, before the eighth son named Pedro appeared, everyone thought that Junian would be the next Duke, and the beautiful and noble Sophia would marry a high-ranking nobleman, at least The legitimate son of a duke. But I didn't expect such a noble lady to fall in love with Hillier, a little lord who is worse than you."

Stannis thumped him on the head unceremoniously, "What do you mean being worse than me? Am I a mess?"

Robert immediately begged for mercy, "Of course not. What I mean is that in the eyes of the Duke, the status below the earl is actually no different from that of a beggar. As long as everyone knows that they must not be together!"

"A different opinion! Since Hillier is as unbearable as you said, how did he get such a 'noble' Miss Sophia?"

Robert shrugged, no one knew more about the gossip in the principality than he.

"You know, it's the old-fashioned bloody plot. Miss Sophia went out to play and was kidnapped by the brigands, and then the stupid young knight Hillier went up to rescue her, and then she was beaten to death and locked up together to wait. The ransom, and then the two gradually developed feelings for each other, and then that guy gained the power of love to defeat the gangsters and embrace the beauty."

"It's really vulgar." Stannis couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Robert gave him a blank look, which clearly means that you have the good intentions to talk about others, and then continued: "Of course the woman's father and brother objected, but the two are desperate for love, but it's a pity that the family's all kinds of entanglement, the woman still abandons her lover go back."

"No wonder I saw Hillier look hurt by love last time." Stannis suddenly realized, "But now they finally came together and finally got a happy ending, didn't they?"
