Chapter 144: The Princess of Dorne's Gift

The guards led the guests from Dorne into the tent.

Even Arthur, who had high standards, had to admit that these girls were all pretty, and the one leading them was a rare beauty.

"Welcome friends from afar, please sit down and talk." The King of Hejian pointed to a chair beside him.

Arianne and the other four girls nodded slightly, sat down and began to observe the "Dragon Holder". Their personal soldiers stood behind them, watching their eyes and noses and hearts without moving.

Based on the Targaryen's experience of marrying and having children with outsiders for many years, the firstborn sons often do not have features such as white hair and purple eyes, but they will definitely have Targaryen's beauty that is far beyond ordinary people.

And the King of Hejian's handsome features and tall, thin and strong body can match the "Dragon Family".

Arianne unscrupulously moved her eyes from the face of the Dragon Holder to his body, and greedily looked at Arthur's slender fingers a few times.

A king with this kind of appearance is worthy of me.

"What a beautiful man!" Tyene whispered beside her.

Although she had seen many Dornish nobles, many of whom were outstanding in appearance, this Sand Snake had to admit that the River King was probably the most handsome man she had ever seen.

He might even be the most handsome man.

Arianne turned her head with a smile and raised her eyebrows to her cousin, "This trip was not in vain!"

"It's worth seeing this face, not to mention that something might happen." Tyene whispered in her cousin's ear.

Arianne quietly reached her hand to her cousin's waist, twisted it hard, and whispered, "This is mine, you are not allowed to snatch it."

Tyene's face turned red, and she didn't dare to make a fool of herself in front of the River King, so she could only grit her teeth and pull Arianne's hand away.

The other two women were also observing the River King carefully, and they didn't have any thoughts.

Although Dorne does not despise illegitimate children, as Sand Snakes, they also understand that Arianne has to pick all the high-quality men like the King of Rivers before they can get their turn.

Arthur was also observing these guests.

Compared with top beauties such as Sansa and Margaery, Arianne's appearance is not inferior at all, and even has more exotic charm because of her deep eyes.

In terms of figure, this Martell princess has a lot of advantages.

Let's put it this way, if she gives birth to a child, not only will the child not starve, but even the adults will...

"The princess of Dorne ran to my military camp. Is there something wrong? Nowadays, wars are frequent, and it's not easy for weak women to walk out." Feeling a little awkward, Arthur said.

"The weak woman you are talking about has done what hundreds of strong soldiers have not done." Arianne snorted coldly, as if protesting against the King of Rivers' contempt for them.

The three Sand Snakes also snorted with their cousin.

"What's the matter?" Arthur asked curiously.

Princess Dorne was very proud, she raised her head and looked at the River King with her nose, "Find and kill Tommen."

Arthur blinked, "It was you... Where is the body? Is there any evidence?"

This is definitely a great benefit for him who declared himself king, but it is also possible that these girls are bragging.

A Sand Snake girl rushed to answer: "The body was thrown in Duskendale, which has been very lively recently. The crown is the evidence."

Obara stretched out her hand, and a personal soldier took out a box from the package behind her. After opening it, it was indeed a golden crown.

Arianne raised her chin, and Tyene beside her took the box, walked forward, and handed it to the River King with both hands.

Of course, during the handover, the Sand Snake took the opportunity to touch Arthur's hand.

What long fingers!

The River King didn't care that someone took advantage of him, picked up the 24k pure gold crown, and observed it carefully.

The crowns of the Deer Family are basically ring-shaped crowns, with a leaping stag on each side.

It is impossible for the Dornish to make such a pure gold thing in a short time. It should be Tommen's.

"Smart and capable Dornish women." Arthur gave a thumbs up to the four women.

Since he led his troops to Sow's Corner, the River Bay Army led by Duke Mace has been confronting him and has not taken the initiative to attack.

Although the strategy of alienating the Rowan family and Lord Inflatable Fish has been going on, it is really impossible to provoke because there is no major change in the situation.

"This is a gift from us Dorne to the King of the River. Are you satisfied?" Arianne asked with a smile on her face.

"Satisfied, satisfied. Military affairs are busy, so you will stay here first. I will entertain you well when I have time."

Arthur waved his hand and asked the guards to take the guests away. It was Rosso who managed the logistics and supplies. He would arrange these Dornish ladies and the spearmen they brought.

The news of Tommen's death should not have spread yet. This is a good time to sow discord. He has to figure out how to make the Duke of Mace completely misunderstand Lord Matus Rowan, so that the forces of Golden Tree City can turn to him.

Seeing that the Dragon Bearer refused to recognize her after accepting the gift, Arianne was slightly angry, but she couldn't get angry. She cursed "idiot" and turned away.

The three Sand Snakes and Dorne's personal soldiers also left.

The King of the Riverlands ordered people to summon several heavyweight vassals such as Tristan Ryger, Carel Vance, and Aenys Frey, as well as Dickon Tarly, the reserve commander, to discuss the feasibility of the plan.

Although several great nobles have received formal lord education, they are not very familiar with the counter-espionage scheme that plays with people's hearts.

Arthur recalled the relevant things in his previous life and decided on the following steps.

"We have communicated with Matus two or three times, and Mace also knows about this, but because of insufficient evidence, he did not take action. This time, we will take advantage of Tommen's death and pretend to make peace with the Lionflower Alliance first, and then..."

He whispered his idea to the nobles who led the troops.

After Tommen's death, there will be no male heirs in Cersei's line to inherit the Iron Throne. Stannis is notoriously mean and ungrateful. He will not easily forgive the Rivermen who have repeatedly supported the false king. Therefore, the heads of the Rivermen must be uneasy and find a way out.

When disaster strikes, everyone will flee!

But because the two sons of Duke Mace, Garlan and Loras, as well as Margaery and others are outside King's Landing, and most of the troops of his vassals are also there, it is impossible for Lord Inflatable Fish to change camp in a short time.

This is the basis for the suspicion between Mace and the Rivermen nobles in Harvard City.

According to Arthur's idea, he would send someone to make peace with the inflatable fish tomorrow, and specifically ask Earl Matus Rowan to come to the Sow Corner for negotiations.

Mace would not be able to rest assured, and would definitely send a few trusted people to follow and observe.

The King of Hejian took the opportunity to reminisce with Matus and chat about irrelevant things, pretending to be very familiar with Rowan to Mace's trusted people.

After Earl Rowan took his people back, he sent a letter at night. The letter still talked about daily relationships, but the key points were erased a few times, erasing words such as time and place.

Of course, the scouts of the Rose family must notice it during the delivery of the letter.

Next, they will quietly wait for the River Bay people to argue, prove their innocence, or even fight among themselves.

The Rowan family has four or five thousand troops, and the Oakheart family, which is friendly with his family, also has two thousand troops. The two families together account for half of the soldiers of the River Bay Army.

If the Duke of Metz really wanted to do something to Count Matus Rowan, the military camp near Harvard City would be in chaos, and the River Army would take the opportunity to launch an attack.

After listening to the King of Rivers' idea and discussing with each other, everyone thought the plan was feasible.

"I didn't realize that you could design such a complicated conspiracy." Dicken praised from the bottom of his heart.

He felt that he was increasingly unable to see through the King of Rivers.

Bald Inis nodded in agreement, and his heart was even more mixed.

I thought I could take advantage of the opportunity to follow a reckless man, but I didn't expect him to be a conspirator who loved to play tricks.

"Then it's settled. Tristan will go tomorrow, and the rest of you will go back to take care of your soldiers and let them sleep more and rest. The people in the River Bay may get chaotic at any time. In the next few days, we must be ready to attack at any time." Arthur ordered.

Everyone whispered yes and turned to leave.

It was already evening, and the whole camp began to smell the fragrance of food.

After Arthur had the dinner sent by Podrick, he took a few personal soldiers and began to patrol the barracks as usual.

This was an act that the great nobles disdained to do, but the King of the River enjoyed it.

It was very interesting to get to know different soldiers. For example, there was a soldier from the famous Hay family. He secretly told Arthur that what he wanted to do most was to flick the bald head of his lord, the Marquis of Innis, to see if there was an echo of water.

The Hay family was a vassal of the Frey family. The status of the soldier and Innis was several levels lower, but he never forgot to flick the bald head.

Arthur remembered him and told the soldier that he occasionally flicked Innis's bald head and would flick it more for the soldier in the future.

For example, there was a cook in the territory of Alan City. The most thing he did every day was to carve farm toys such as wooden shovels and flails for his son. He hoped that his four-year-old son would fall in love with farming and never follow the lord to join the army to fight.

For him, Arthur promised that there would be fewer wars in this generation.

Because the King of Hejian was going to create a super-large kingship, using giant dragons and a large number of royal armies to suppress the seven feudal lords and prevent them from rebelling.

There were also dozens of impressive soldiers, many of whom wanted to end the war, go home to renovate and reinforce their houses, and prepare to spend the long winter.

Arthur mainly appeased these people and said that he would reward brave soldiers in battle. Those who performed particularly well could also get enough money rewards and fertile farmland, and the highest level could reach the level of wealthy knights.

Anyway, the Hejian land had been destroyed, and there were dozens of viscounts and barons without lords, not to mention wealthy knights who only managed a small village.

Arthur estimated that two or three hundred villages without owners and not under the jurisdiction of nobles at all levels could still be found, which was enough to reward soldiers who had made outstanding achievements in several major battles.

After patrolling the camp for many days, the recognition and support of the King of Hejian by the lower-level soldiers increased rapidly, and the morale of the army also gradually rose.

The camp of 11,500 people was neither big nor small. It was late at night when Arthur finished his patrol.

In order to avoid possible assassination, the tent where the King of Hejian slept was hidden in the tent of the new army soldiers. However, after Arthur returned, the servant who was responsible for taking care of the tent, Medan, stood in front of the tent with a look that looked a little strange.

"What's going on?"

Facing the master's questioning, the honest servant explained: "There is a woman in it, and I can't drive her away."

Arthur waved his hand and asked Medan and the soldiers who followed Arthur to leave.

It was probably Princess Arianne of Dorne, and the servants really couldn't drive her away.

He didn't know what Arianne was going to do, so he walked in with this idea.

The tent was decorated quite simply, with almost no sundries except a bed, a table, a chair and a candlestick.

But Arthur's bed was occupied by someone.

Arianne, wearing a light nightgown, sat on the bed, with big black waves behind her head, a bright and beautiful face, and two bare feet swaying on the bed.

Seeing the dragon owner coming in, Arianne threw a wink, smiled lightly, and fell back directly, lying on the bed.

"I'm asleep!"

Although she was standing, from Arthur's perspective, the Dorne princess's body was still ups and downs.

After slowly taking off the plate armor on his body, the River King sat on the chair.

"Although you are beautiful and have a good figure, I am not a casual person."

Without waiting for the dragon owner to do anything to her, Arianne opened her eyes and sat up.

"Do you want to lie down and let me work? Are all northern men so lazy?"

Arthur shook his slender fingers and said, "No, as far as I know, the Dornish people have some different ideas from the other six realms. I really want to sublimate our friendship, but some things need to be made clear in advance, such as what our relationship is, whether we will be lovers or preparing for marriage in the future, and whether your certain behaviors will be restricted after you have a relationship with me."

It's not just about ideas, but more importantly, some things need to be agreed upon.

The whole War of the Usurper was caused by Rhaegar kidnapping Robert's fiancée Lyanna.

So you really have to be careful about things between men and women.

What's more, the Martell family's reputation for things between men and women is not very good. The representative figure, Prince Oberyn, is not afraid of men and women and takes them all.

"Little Dragon is quite thoughtful." Arianne put her right index finger into her mouth, "This time, let's treat it as a meeting gift. My father, Prince Doran, has the final say on marriage and so on. I can only say a few good words for you."

Arthur shook his head and said, "No, I am a principled man. Women who have a relationship with me can only be loyal to me in the future, and you can't do whatever you want."

The Dorne princess straightened her chest to make her figure more obvious, "You still want to eat it and don't spit it out."

She looked up and down at Arthur's handsome face and tall figure, and paid special attention to the slender and white fingers of the King of Hejian.

"It depends on whether you are an adult or a villain. If you are old enough, I will be loyal to you and will only have a relationship with you in the future."

Arthur shook his head and chuckled, "Don't worry, we will see the truth on the battlefield. I want to let you know what is the fighting power that goes to the stomach in one step."

He walked forward and pounced on her.

The situation in the whole tent is unknown, but it is much more boring outside the tent.

This is a very ordinary night, but it will be remembered by the princess of Dorne for the rest of her life.
