Chapter 368 Mrs. Ians
In the Hall of Storms, Madam Iens Yronwood sat on a chair, waiting anxiously.
She is the elder sister of the contemporary Earl Yronwood, and also the wife of the heir to the City of Grace, Roger Arion.
Although she is over 30 years old and has two children, she still has a graceful figure and charm.
At this moment, she was wearing an elegant black gauze dress and a round-brimmed hat. A black spider silk veil blocked the face above the nose, revealing only her white chin and bloodless lips.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mrs. Ians got up immediately.
A tall man in a blue velvet dress came in, and the ruby tile-steel crown on his head showed his identity.
"Your Majesty the Storm King." Mrs. Ians saluted.
"Sit down." Samwell waved his hand casually.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mrs. Ians sat upright on the chair, folded her hands on her abdomen, and tried to straighten her slender waist. This sitting posture is not only elegant, but also reveals her beautiful body curves.
"Tell me about Dorne."
A man's voice came, flat without any ups and downs.
Ms. Ians's eyes turned red, and her fragrant shoulders shrugged slightly, as if she was sobbing silently.
She raised her head weakly, only to see the young Storm King standing on the high platform. There was no smile on his sculptural face, and there was no pity in his brown-black eyes, but almost indifferent scrutiny.
Mrs. Ians knew that her little tricks were ineffective against this person, so she sighed secretly, and could only restrain her description, and began to tell the story in a proper manner.
It turned out that since Princess Arianne Martell killed Earl Anders Yronwood, her son Cletus Yronwood, the younger brother of Mrs. Ians, had inherited the title of Earl. At the same time, it officially announced its break with Sunspear City.
Princess Arianne was also unambiguous, and immediately declared the Yronwood family to be rebellious, and raised troops to march towards Yronwood City, and at the same time called on the Dorne families to send troops to support.
Although Princess Arianne was the legitimate ruler of Dorne according to the law after the death of Prince Lang, her prestige plummeted due to the repeated defeats of the Martell family in Dorne.
If Prince Doran or Prince Oberyn were still alive, they might be able to convince the nobles of Dorne with their personal prestige, but the young Princess Arianne obviously didn't have this ability.
In addition, her actions of killing Earl Anders and detaining a group of lords of grace have already aroused public outrage, so when Sunspear City's call-up order was issued, it did not cause any waves.
Most of the lords had a wait-and-see mentality. Even if they didn't want to disobey Sunspear City, they just sent dozens or hundreds of old, weak and remnant soldiers to deal with it.
Even some families in the west of Dorne didn't even send a single soldier.
Speaking of which, Mrs. Ians took a cautious look at Samwell.
Because these Dorne nobles in the western region were obviously bewitched by the Dane family in Starfall City, they dared to remain indifferent to the recruitment of Sunspear City.
Since the food supply in the Reach was cut off, a large-scale famine has broken out in Dorne, but Starfall City suddenly provided a large amount of food, and attracted Sandstone City, Tianji City, Bremen City, etc. Numerous families in the Western region, and urged them to ignore Sunspear's call.
Mrs. Ians is very clear that Starfall City has always been the Storm King's sphere of influence. It was with his support that the young Countess Natalie became the patriarch of the Dane family.
This time Starfall City was able to produce so much food to win over the nobles of Dorne, obviously it also has the backing of the River Bend.
The Yronwood family has always wanted to establish a relationship with Starfall City, and has sent envoys many times to request the Dane family to send troops, but no matter what benefits Earl Cletus promised, that Earl Natalie refused to send troops to support .
So, Mrs. Ians put on a pitiful look and stared straight at Samwell, hoping to get support from the Storm King.
Samwell naturally understood Mrs. Ians's intentions, but he did not express his position lightly, but asked:
"What is the attitude of the Ailion family in Divine Grace City?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Ians burst into tears again and said:
"Your Majesty, God's Grace City is no longer in charge of the Elion family..."
"Oh? What happened?"
"After Princess Arianne issued the call-up order, my husband, Sir Roger, didn't want to completely fall out with the Martell family, and also considered that his mother, the Countess Derlon, was still detained in Sunspear, so he sent a small team to respond.
But the army of the Martell family passed through the city of Divine Favor on their way to conquer the Yronwood family. Princess Arianne camped outside the city and asked Roger to come out of the city to meet her.
My husband was worried that if he refused, Princess Arianne would use this as an excuse to send troops to attack God's Grace City, so he agreed in desperation.
But after he went out of the city to meet Princess Arianne, he actually agreed to dispatch 3,000 troops to assist the Martell family, and he also made Damon Sand the acting city lord of God's Grace City.
My husband will never let a lowly illegitimate son become the deputy city lord!
Not to mention that the Ailion family will not do their best to help the Martell family fight against the Yronwood family.
I suspect that Roger is now under house arrest by the Martell family... woo woo..."
Samwell interrupted the crying of the other party and asked:
"Since the City of Grace has fallen into the control of the Martell family, how did you escape?"
"I happened to go back to my natal family to visit relatives, so I escaped this disaster."
Samwell nodded noncommittally, and asked again:
"I remember you and Sir Roger have two sons, where are they now?"
"They are still in God's Grace City. I don't know if they have been... woo..." Mrs. Iens began to cry again.
The slender, white neck bends downward, like a swan with broken wings, arousing pity.
Samwell watched indifferently, and when she calmed down a little, he asked:
"How is the situation in Yronwood City now?"
"It's terrible." Mrs. Ians wiped her tears, "When Duke Tywin led his army to invade Dorne, Yronwood City was captured once as the front line. The food in the city was looted, and now it has been captured again The army of House Martell attacks...
Your Majesty, the Yronwood family still has many unyielding warriors who are willing to fight the Martell family to the end, but if the food and grass are cut off, no matter how brave they are, they can only starve to death in the city.
Even if you don’t want to send troops, please support at least a batch of food…”
"Did the Martell family completely surround Yronwood City?"
"No, Yronwood City guards the southern end of the Bone Road, and the Martell family can only attack from the south, and the Bone Road in the north is always open." Mrs. Ians seemed to understand something, "Have you decided to support us?"
"I will support a batch of food first." Samwell smiled. "In two weeks, the fleet transporting food will arrive at the mouth of the Ian River via the Dorne Sea. Remember to notify Earl Cletus to send someone to receive it."
"Thank you so much!" Mrs. Ians stood up in surprise and bowed, "The Yronwood family and the Arion family will never forget your kindness!"
Samwell glanced at the woman with profound eyes, and then said:
"I believe that with this batch of assistance, the Yronwood family will surely win."
