"Rickon Stark?" Danny was confused for a moment.
She was confused about the unfamiliar name, as well as Lord Eel's intention in saying that.
Compared to Bran, Erya, Sansa, and Robb, Rickon, the fifth son of the House of Stark, had a presence that was as … small as his age.
In Game of Thrones, other than the scene where he was shot to death by Skinner, which made people sigh at his clumsy positioning, he did not leave any impression on the audience.
Even in this real world … it was even worse. He almost never appeared.
"The third son of Duke Eide Stark, Rickon Stark. He was only six years old a few years ago. You might not be familiar with him, but he is the only surviving male of the House of Stark," Lord Eel explained.
"What do you want me to do?" Danny glared at him and said, "I don't kill children."
"Kill …" Lord Eel was confused. "I … I didn't ask you to kill him."
"Didn't you report to me that there are remnants of the House of Stark because of the enmity between me and Eide, and remind me to get rid of them?" Danny said strangely.
"Uh …" Lord Eel's fat face twisted.
"Your Majesty, you are magnanimous, righteous, and just. Why would I think that you … You did not kill Stannis, Jon Snow, nor did you burn down the King's Landing. You even let Lady Catelyn go. You would definitely not kill an innocent child," the fat count said righteously.
"I see. You are in cahoots with Madam Stoneheart." Danny was enlightened.
Madam Stoneheart knew that the Dragon Queen had no ill intentions towards Rickon, which was why Lord Eel revealed Rickon's location the moment they met.
At the same time, Danny also understood that the fat man did not betray Stark. He was a spy by Bolton's side.
"I'm also very surprised. I didn't expect that you would be resurrected by the Light King. She even said that you're a righteous and noble queen who abhors evil.
That's why I chased after your dragon with all my might. I beg you to uphold justice for Duke Stark. "
Lord Eel looked at Danny expectantly.
"Are you sure Madam Stone Heart said good things about me? The last time I saw her, she was almost possessed. She trampled on the guests' rights and betrayed them. She even wanted to kill me. "Danny said suspiciously.
Lord Eel was stunned. He did not expect the Dragon Queen to have such an evaluation of the "kind and pitiful" duchess.
"I swear to the Seven Gods, to Lahlo, and to the old Gods that I have not spoken a single lie" he raised his hand and swore.
"Could it be that you met a fake Madam Stone Heart?" Danny asked in surprise.
"How could I have mistaken my master for someone else?" Lord Eel straightened his neck, his fat face flushed red.
"Is there a scar on her face?" Danny asked.
"Yes, there are terrible scars." Lord Eel heard this and his eyes turned red. He howled in grief and anger, "Gods, what did Frey and those bastards do to her!"
He said this as if Frey had really done something to her.
After complaining in her heart, Danny asked again, "What else did Madam Stone Heart say about me?"
Lord Eel thought for a moment and said, "Your black dragon drew a picture for Jordan Snow and predicted the Red Wedding."
It really was Madam Stone Heart, but she seemed to have changed … or was she in disguise?
With a plan in mind, Danny asked with interest, "Has Jordan Snow and the Gingko Maiden returned to White Harbor?"
"No," Lord Eel's kind face became twisted again, "The Rebellion of the Four Kings, the Seven Kingdoms in chaos, the Thunderlands of the Three Sisters Archipelago restored the ancient road, and the Gingko Maiden was almost at our doorstep, but it was ruined by those bastards."
The Three Sisters Archipelago was at the entrance of the bay where White Harbor was located. It was Earl Thunderland's fief.
"The same ancient road as Tiemin? They robbed the Gingko Maiden? "Danny asked.
"No, they are even more despicable. The Three Sisters Archipelago is on the main road to White Harbor, and many merchant ships pass by there.
There are many lighthouses built along the coast of the island to warn ships of the shoals and rocks.
But in thick fog or storms, the islanders will extinguish the real lighthouses and secretly light fake signals to lure the ships to sink on the rocks. Those bastards will then take the opportunity to salvage the goods in the sunken ships. "
Danny's eyes widened. She could not believe that there was such a despicable operation in the world.
The Gingko Maiden passed through the narrow sea, the Summer Sea, the Quills Strait, the Jade Sea, and experienced cruel pirates and unpredictable storms. She narrowly escaped death and returned to her hometown, but she fell into the hands of her neighbors. This …
This was too unjust!
"Has no one ever punished Count Thunderland?"
If Danny was on the Iron Throne and the Three Sisters Archipelago dared to be so despicable, she would definitely destroy this family.
"When Stannis was the Minister of the Sea, he punished that old dog Thunderland severely once. But with the current situation of the Seven Kingdoms, who can care about him? "Lord Eel said helplessly.
"Gulp, gulp …"
It was Lord Eel's carriage that was burning ovens. The servants added charcoal to the ovens from time to time. In the snowy weather, a large amount of fragrant white steam rose. The fat eunuch Bevos smelled it for a while, and his stomach rumbled in front of everyone.
The fat eunuch blushed and muttered, "Lord Count, you were the one who called Bevos and the Queen down. As the host, why don't you take out the scones from the ovens and share them with the guests?"
Danny was embarrassed. She glared at the eunuch and scolded in a low voice, "You ate a roasted lamb leg at noon, and it's only three in the afternoon. Are you hungry again?"
"Bevos wasn't hungry at first, but when I smelled the meat, I immediately became hungry." Bevos said aggrievedly.
"Hahaha …" Lord Eel heard Bevos' words and immediately laughed. He arranged for people to set up a tent by the roadside and set up chairs while saying, "I can understand Sir Bevos' feeling.
Not to mention the smell of roasted meat, as long as someone mentions the word 'pork trotters' to me, or I think of pork trotters myself, I will be hungry. "
The attendants worked very quickly. Within ten minutes, they had set up a small shed of seven to eight square meters. There was a table in the middle, and there was a charcoal stove under the table. On the table, there was a steaming lamprey pie, roasted goat ribs, oily and fragrant pig trotters, steamed crabs the size of bowls, cleaned oysters, fried cod fillets sprinkled with shallots and pepper, wine, liqueur, brandy …
Don't doubt, these were all directly brought out, not baked on the spot.
In Lord Eel, Danny saw the extravagant style of the top aristocrats of Westeros who were not inferior to the slave owners of Guise.
This carriage had about sixty carriages, three hundred riders, and two hundred servants including the coachmen.
But this was not a marching team, but Lord Eel's traveling carriage.
Sixty carriages, forty of which were piled with food, wine barrels, frozen sea fish, boxes of crabs and oysters, a group of live goats, more than a hundred live pigs, refined flour, expensive barren black rice, winter wheat, onions, carrots …
Another ten carriages had huge iron stoves, ovens, frying pans, steamers … The steam was steaming and the fragrance was tempting.
After that, ten carriages were piled with furs, tents, tables and chairs, and charcoal.
Lord Eel was gluttonous and ate all the way.
He wished he could put a pot of braised pork at the bedside when he went to sleep.
This team served him alone.
Such a gluttonous aristocrat was not the worst in Westeros, and was not even considered extravagant. This …
No wonder Tyrion had no interest in liberating the slaves.
In truth, a Westeros without slavery was no better than Slaver's Bay in the past.
However, the new Slave Bay under her rule must be different.
Danny gathered her thoughts and asked, "Since Madam Stone Heart came to find you, didn't she come up with a plan for revenge?"
"Madam's plan is to wait for the King's Landing to fall into chaos so that the Iron Throne will not have time to care about the North.
Of course, we know your oath, and it is not for you to attack the King's Landing.
Actually, the power of the Iron Throne is unable to reach the Northern Territory. As long as I welcome Duke Ricken back to White Harbor, I will be able to gather five thousand elites to serve him. With the support of seven to eight counts such as Bear Island (Mormont), Hearth Castle (Amber), Torun City (Torun), and the people of Moor Neck, it is not impossible to take down the renegade Bolton.
As long as Bolton is overthrown and the North regains its stability, the nobles of the North will unite under Stark's leadership. Even if Lannister leads the other six kingdoms to attack, they will not be able to cross Carlin Bay. "
Lord Eel was smart. He knew that hiding the truth would only make the Dragon Queen unhappy, so he did not hesitate and told her everything about his plan with Madam Stone Heart.
Danny nodded inwardly. If not for the Long Night, the North might have been able to survive.
"If that is the case, how do you want me to uphold justice?" she asked.
"Your Majesty, our request is not only to restore Stark's rule." Lord Eel said meaningfully.
"What do you want?"
"Revenge!" Lord Eel's chin trembled as he said with vigor.
Danny raised her eyebrows. "Your revenge has something to do with me?"
"Your Majesty, we have a common enemy. No matter how arrogant we are, we will not rely on our own strength to defeat Ruth Bolton, Waldfrey, Lannister and Tyrell. "
"Aren't you contradicting yourself? You know that I will not participate in the war between the seven kingdoms before the end of the Long Night, yet you still want me to form an alliance. "Danny frowned.
Lord Eel shook his head. "No, revenge is not urgent. The aftermath of the Rebellion of the Four Princes is too great, and the North also needs to recuperate.
If you agree, when summer comes, we will launch a pincer attack. The North will go south to Neck, and you will land from the King's Domain.
After overthrowing Lannister, the Iron Throne will belong to you. We only want independence, the North will be independent!
We will complete our revenge, and you will get the Iron Throne without sacrificing anything. It is a win-win situation. "
Garth was shocked and angry. "You want to split the seven kingdoms?"
Lord Eel said with a complicated expression, "Sir, think about it. What will the alliance of the seven kingdoms bring to the North?
Only pain and humiliation!
The power games of the Southerners are too dangerous. We do not want to participate, nor do we have the ability to.
The North also cannot bring much tax to the Iron Throne. It is better to part on good terms. "
"Count, you are very honest," Danny said.
Lord Eel was indeed very honest and did not deliberately mystify.
Although he was a little whimsical and blindly optimistic, he put everything on the table. It was a pure exchange of interests.
Danny despised the Northerners for being short-sighted, but she did not dislike their behavior.
"In principle, I agree to form an alliance with you."
As Lord Eel said before, Danny did not contribute anything other than the name of an ally. Why would she refuse?
Independence of the North?
Haha, she did not even care about the Iron Throne. Why would she care about the North where the mountains are poor and the rivers are evil?
"But there are two problems that need to be solved in advance."
Lord Eel hurriedly asked, "What is it? The Long Night and the Other Ghosts? "
