Littlefinger said, "Bolton will definitely not join you, and you cannot accept the loyalty of people who violate the rights of guests.
Frey in Hejian is in the same situation.
Marrying Sansa will allow you to easily gain the loyalty of the nobles in the Northern Territory, and overthrowing Bolton will be easy.
Yes, the situation in the Northern Territory is very special, the northerners only recognize Stark!
If your queen is Sansa, the vassals in Hejian who once pledged their loyalty to Robb will also join you. "
Aegon looked at Littlefinger and asked meaningfully, "Marrying Lady Sansa is beneficial to ruling the Northern Territory and Hejian, then, how useful is it to winning over the valley?"
Littlefinger smiled and said, "Your Highness, Lady Caitlin and I are childhood sweethearts, our relationship … is extraordinary, my love for Sansa is no less than her father's."
Your love for Sansa's body must be more than Eide Stark!
Aegon sneered in his heart.
He did not know that Shi Dong and Alaine were Sansa, but he had heard from Aunt Danny's analysis that Littlefinger had participated in the Purple Wedding (Joffrey's death), kidnapped Sansa, and most likely cheated on Tyrion.
For this, he had deeply sympathized with the dwarf.
Now, Sansa was indeed by his side, so the dwarf was most likely cheated on?
Damn it, it seemed like it was his turn to be the one to take over!
Aegon was very upset, but he said calmly, "Duke Baelish, forgive me for being blunt, but your power in the valley seems … not to be of much help to me."
"Hehe, Your Highness, you don't think that the previous meeting was the reason why I invited you here, do you?" Littlefinger said with a smile.
"Is it only now?" Aegon asked blankly.
Littlefinger nodded slightly and said in disdain, "Bronze Yohn is an old-fashioned knight who cherishes his reputation, and he is also very prestigious in the valley, but prestige and reputation do not equal power, or else Barristan would be the king of the Seven Kingdoms."
"You can influence the decision of the Alliance of Justice?" Aegon said seriously.
"I can lead the valley to pledge loyalty to you," Little Finger said confidently.
Aegon did not ask him how he did it. He only thought carefully for a moment and asked, "If I compensate you in other ways, can I not marry Miss Sansa, and you will immediately take the valley and pledge your loyalty to me?"
"What kind of compensation?" Little Finger asked with interest.
"The Eagle Nest!" Aegon's eyes flashed as he said softly.
Little Finger's pupils constricted, and his heart skipped a beat. He put on a puzzled expression and asked, "Aren't I in the Eagle Nest now?"
Aegon smiled faintly, "Duke Belize, living in someone else's house is completely different from living in your own. I've experienced it myself.
In Slave's Bay, my aunt treated me extremely well, but I still felt more comfortable in Storm's End Castle.
I didn't deceive you and Earl Royce before.
Robert Arryn had nothing to do with the War of the Usurpers, and Targaryen was not Lannister. He would not harm an innocent child.
But Targaryen had no reason to protect House Arryn's lands and titles.
I can leave the grudges of the previous generation until my aunt's Great Judgment.
But I will not help Ayrin, Stark, Theon Bella, and Tully protect their endangered and even lost positions without any benefits.
For example, if I take over Storm's End Castle, Theon Bella will forever lose his clan's lands.
For example, right now, no matter who it is, as long as he can lead the valley to pledge loyalty to me, even if he uses dishonorable means to take away Ayrin's title, I will still recognize his identity. "
Little Finger shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you misunderstand. I have no ambitions for Ayrin Valley."
"Duke Belize, there are only the two of us here. I've already been honest enough. Can you repay me with some sincerity?" Aegon said unhappily.
"Sigh, back then, after your grandfather killed Duke Rickard and his son, he still felt that it wasn't enough. He asked Jon Arryn to hand over Eide and Robert.
What do you think Lord Jon should do?
Now we all know that he was the first to rebel against the Iron Throne for the sake of his two adopted sons who had no blood relations.
He was also the one who facilitated the marriage between Tully, Ayrin, and Stark families.
In the entire War of the Usurpers, Jon Arryn paid the greatest price, but he never thought of asking for any benefits. The safety of his two adopted sons is his greatest reward. "
Little Finger spoke slowly as if he was telling a story.
"You want to be the 'Jon Arryn' of Robert Arryn and Sansa Stark?"
Aegon's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Lord Jon is my benefactor (Uncle Finger rose to fame in Seagull Town and benefited from Lysa's pillow talk. Later, Uncle Finger rose all the way to King's Landing, which also helped him a lot). He is also my idol, just like how the younger generation of knights worship Sir Barristan."
"I'm willing to learn from Lord Jon!"
Little Finger's eyes were clear, and his expression was serious. Aegon almost believed him.
"My daughter Sansa is charming, gentle, kind, and noble … Why do you keep rejecting her?" Little Finger asked in confusion.
Aegon said, "To be honest, even if we ignore her identity, Lady Sansa is the most charming lady I've ever seen in terms of appearance and temperament. However, I can't let down someone's loyalty."
"Who?"
"Tyrion. He's my friend, and he taught me a lot of … how to be a person. He's still my Hand of the King … His reputation isn't very good. He's the Prime Minister, but he doesn't have the title of Prime Minister."
"I can't steal his wife!" Aegon said firmly.
Little Finger smiled and asked, "Is this the biggest obstacle between you and Sansa?"
"Something like that." Aegon nodded and said hesitantly, "Actually, my cousin Alaine also wants to marry me."
Little Finger stood up and took out a kraft paper bag from the cupboard by the wall. He returned to the table.
This time, he didn't return to his original seat. Instead, he sat intimately beside Aegon.
Under Aegon's confused gaze, Uncle Finger opened the kraft paper bag and took out a piece of parchment the size of a certificate.
"Take a look."
Aegon took it. The first thing he saw was a bright red seven-pointed star seal on the top left corner of the snow-white parchment.
This was a contract written by a Seven Gods cultivator.
It was a declaration that Tyrion and Sansa's marriage was invalid.
It had the handprint of the Seven Gods' archbishop, Meribad, and the seal of his position.
"This … is real?" Aegon's eyes widened. He looked at Uncle Finger in shock and said, "Tyrion and Lady Sansa's wedding was held in the Great Cathedral. How is it illegal?"
"Lannister killed her father, brother, and mother. He took away her family's title, land, and castle. He destroyed the whole of Stark. Do you think Sansa will willingly marry Tyrion? "Uncle Finger asked.
"With Archbishop Meribad's reputation, he has the right to deny the marriage officiated by the previous archbishop."
After knowing that Tyrion was by Aegon's side, Little Finger planned to find a respectable cultivator to annul Sansa's marriage. Sansa could also swear that she was forced. However, it would be more official if a cultivator was her guarantor.
The most respectable cultivator around the Seven Kingdoms Valley was Meribad.
The old cultivator was organizing refugees on the Crab Claw Peninsula to help Dragon Queen build a castle, which was the "Third Line of Defense". It was only separated from Seagull Town in the valley by the Trident River.
At first, Little Finger planned to bribe the old cultivator with food. This was because making a guarantor would greatly offend Lannister.
However, Meribad only asked Sansa a few questions and readily agreed to annul her marriage with Tyrion.
He understood the grudge between Stark and Lannister. He also understood Madam Stoneheart's attitude towards this marriage. She was almost crazy. Therefore, he could represent the Seven Gods to annul this unjust marriage with a clear conscience.
Uh, the little demon still did not know.
"Who is that Meribad? What right does he have to annul the marriage officiated by the archbishop?" Aegon asked.
Among the cultivators of the Seven Kingdoms, he only knew the Big Sparrow.
"Do you know about Dragon Queen's disaster relief activities in the Three Rivers Valley?"
Aegon suddenly realized. "So it's him! I heard from my aunt that Meribad rode a donkey to help the poor. He was persistent for decades. He is a true cultivator. "
Little Finger nodded with a complicated expression. "From the moment he received Dragon Queen's approval, Saint Meribad's reputation began to spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms. He has the right to annul Sansa's marriage."
"Saint … Meribad?"
"He has saved countless lives."
Aegon's mouth twitched. Saint Danny, Saint Sparrow, and now Saint Meribad. In the thousands of years of history of the Seven Kingdoms, there was only one Saint Baylor. Now, there were three.
However, they did not seem to devalue "Saint". Then …
Should he also get the title "Saint Aegon"?
"Sansa complained to Bishop Meribad that Lannister forced her to marry Tyrion. The bishop also approved her complaint.
According to the teachings of the Seven Gods, a sacred oath made against one's will not count.
Therefore, your marriage with Sansa will not hurt anyone. Tyrion did not even consummate his marriage with Sansa.
I swear to the Holy Father that Sansa is still a pure virgin. This can be witnessed by the 'Roseless Guard' Breyne. "
Well, after Britney became famous, she would ask everyone she met in Hejian, "Have you ever seen a red-haired virgin?", and the famous saying also spread.
Everyone knew that she was looking for Sansa, so they all thought that Breyne thought that Sansa was a virgin.
"Marriage is easy to annul, but Tyrion's feelings for Sansa are difficult to resolve …" Aegon thought for a while, but still shook his head.
"Your Highness, let me ask you a rebellious question. Are you the monarch, or is he the monarch? How can a monarch's empire be controlled by his subjects? "
Little Finger's face had a hint of mockery, but Aegon could clearly feel it.
"Hehe, Tyrion is my prime minister. If you want to drive a wedge between us, you are wrong." Aegon sneered.
Little Finger waved his hand and said, "You can trust the homeless Tyrion, and you can also support Sansa's marriage with him.
The problem is, Sansa is not alone. She represents the power of the North, Hejian, and the Valley.
In the future, will you still dare to sleep peacefully in the face of the King's Hand that controls the West, North, Hejian, and Valley Alliance? "
The sneer on Aegon's face gradually froze.
"Tyrion will not betray me," he said in a low voice.
"Yes, with the Dragon Queen around, no one dares to betray Targaryen. But if you rely on her for everything, why return to the Westeros now?
A king should control his power in his own hands, "Little Finger said faintly.
Aegon hesitated.
At least Little Finger was right about one thing. Sansa represented power, and power should be controlled in one's own hands.
Seeing his struggle, Little Finger smiled and said, "You can choose another noble girl to marry Tyrion, and complete the friendship between monarch and subject.
You are already so concerned about his feelings, and he should also think about your great cause. "
Aegon was somewhat convinced.
"But Dorne seems to have the idea of a marriage alliance with me."
