Chapter 194 Alliance

"Quick! Invite the bachelor!"

Loras Tyrell rushed to Duke Renly's side and exclaimed.

Princess Arianne also recovered from her stupor, and immediately called her servants to order: "Send Bachelor Calliotte here!"

After finishing speaking, she was going to step forward to check on the situation of Duke Renly.

Unexpectedly, before she approached, Davon Lannister stood in front of her, and said in a suspicious and vigilant tone:

"Stay away from Lord Renly!"

Princess Arianne was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what the other party meant, and suddenly became a little annoyed:

"You actually suspect that I poisoned you?"

Davon did not give an inch: "Who just killed Ser Gregor Clegane in public?"

Princess Arianne was suddenly speechless.

Davon said angrily: "If the Martell family wants to kill people, at least use the method used to deal with Sir Gregor, so that we can hold a sword before we die, and don't use such indecent methods as poisoning!"

"We did not poison!"

Princess Arianne argued, but she looked pale.

At this moment, Maester Calliotte arrived in a hurry, and the two stopped their quarrel for the time being, and turned their attention back to Duke Renly.

The maester cut Renly's clothes open with a knife, carefully inspected his body, and then pinched his face for a long while, but he was still frowning.

During this process, Duke Renly no longer vomited blood, but this did not mean that he was getting better. In fact, everyone could see that something was wrong with him.

Duke Renly's entire face was blue, his lips were bloodless, and his body was shaking non-stop. He struggled as if he wanted to say something, but due to too much air coming in and out, he couldn't speak a complete sentence at all.

No matter how **** the scene is, it is impossible to scare people like this.

Obviously, he was poisoned.

The vomit in the living room exudes a sweet and unpleasant smell, almost suffocating.

Princess Arianne couldn't bear it anymore, so she went out and came to the corridor.

After dazed for a while, she heard footsteps around her.

Turning around, Princess Arianne saw Prince Doran appearing at the corner of the corridor in a wheelchair.

"Father." Princess Arianne hurriedly took a few steps to greet her.

Just about to speak, I heard Prince Doran say:

"I already know what happened."

"Father, I really didn't poison you!" Princess Arianne quickly explained.

"What about the 'Magic Mountain'? You arranged for him to be killed, right?"

"Yes." Princess Arianne admitted straightforwardly, "That beast brutally killed my aunt and her child back then, and now it dares to appear in Sunspear City. How could I not take revenge!"

"Stupid!" Prince Doran said angrily, "This is Tywin's trap! You killed an emissary in public, and if another emissary died in Sunspear, who do you think people would think killed it?"

"You mean..." Princess Arianne also realized at this time, "Tywin poisoned Renly?"

"What do you think?" Prince Doran said angrily, "Could it be that Renly ate his stomach?"

Princess Arianne felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and after a while she said, "But...but... why did Tywin let Renly die in Sunspear?"

"I don't know." Prince Doran rubbed his brows wearily, "There must be something big happening outside, otherwise Tywin wouldn't have taken the risk to do such a thing, but we are trapped in the city and don't know anything. And you are still like this reckless!"

Princess Arianne lowered her head in frustration: "Then what should we do now?"

Before Prince Doran could answer, he heard a mournful howl from the living room.

Princess Arianne trembled slightly, and immediately knew that Duke Renly might be dead.

And his death must be blamed on the Martell family.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the living room:

"Doran Martell! I want your life for Lord Renly!"

"No!" Princess Arianne exclaimed, trying to explain, "We didn't kill Renly! I swear by the Sunspear!"

But how could Loras Tyrell listen to the explanation at this moment? He swung his long sword and rushed towards Prince Doran.

The guard immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"Don't kill him!" Princess Arianne urged.

As soon as the words fell, a guard's arm was cut off and he let out a miserable scream.

Loras kept walking and continued to charge forward.

The second guard jumped up, and the two swords clashed and collided rapidly in the air, making piercing noises.

A third guard joined the battle group.

"Ser Loras." Princess Arianne was still trying to explain, "It was Tywin Lannister who poisoned him! He deliberately tried to provoke the relationship between Stormland and Dorne!"

"Ridiculous!" Davon Lannister also came out, "You murderers still want to pour dirty water on Lord Tywin! Lord Tywin only wants to resolve this dispute peacefully, but I didn't expect you Ma Tai I only think about killing!"

At this time, Loras looked crazy, he had cut down three guards one after another, and rushed towards Prince Doran in the wheelchair with red eyes.

The long sword formed a blurred light and shadow in the air, as fast as lightning.

But in the next second, a huge long ax crashed down.

Amid the ear-piercing sound of gold and iron clashing, the long sword shattered into two pieces.

The long ax continued unabated, drawing a hideous wound on Loras' chest, and blood sprayed like a spring.

"No! Don't kill him!" Princess Arianne screamed.

The long ax swung up again, and mercilessly chopped down on Loras' head.

"Hotta, stop," said Prince Doran.

The longaxe came to a sudden stop in mid-air, inches from Loras' beautiful head.

"The prince ordered, and Hotah obeyed." The captain of the guard, Areo Hotah, withdrew his long axe.

"Major Calliotte, help him bandage!" Princess Arianne looked at Loras in the pool of blood, feeling a little heartbroken and annoyed.

Prince Doran looked at Davon Lannister and said:

"Sir Davon, you should be the real emissary sent by Duke Tywin, right? Come with me, let's talk in another place."

As he spoke, he asked the guards to push the wheelchair away.

Dafeng also followed.

A group of people came to another room.

As soon as he entered the door, Dafeng asked loudly:

"Your Highness Doran! You actually poisoned Lord Renly! The gods will not spare you!"

"Renly was clearly poisoned by you!" Princess Arianne was furious when she heard the words.

Prince Doran raised his hand to stop his daughter. He knew that it was pointless to argue about these things at this time.

Since the Dornishmen killed the "Magic Mountain" in public, then when Lord Renly was poisoned to death in Sunspear, people would naturally think that the Dornishmen did it.

The Martell family can no longer shake off this pot.

What he can do now is to figure out what the purpose of Duke Tywin is.

"Sir Davon, if I'm not wrong, there should be a major change outside, otherwise Tywin wouldn't do such a crazy thing. Tell me what happened, and then we can talk about conditions."

Da Feng restrained his anger in an instant, and didn't bother to give any extra performance, and then told the truth about everything that happened in Tianjicheng.

Princess Arianne was dumbfounded when she heard that, apparently she didn't expect that the outside world would have such a big change after being trapped in the city for less than a month.

Prince Doran listened quietly, the expression on his face remained unchanged.

Only when he heard that Samwell Caesar had hatched a dragon, his eyes shook sharply, but soon returned to calm.

When Da Dafeng finished speaking, Prince Doran smiled coldly:

"No wonder Lord Tywin wants Duke Renly to die in Sunspear. This is helping his grandson, oh no, he should be his own grandson, sweeping away his rivals for the throne."

Da Feng smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying, and turned to say:

"His Royal Highness, Lord Tywin just wanted to form an alliance with the Martell family. For this reason, he also specially sent a big gift. Look, you were very happy when you received it outside the old palace."

Princess Arianne knew that the "big gift" the other party mentioned was Gregor Clegane, the "Magic Mountain". She was immediately ashamed and angry, and shouted:

"You plan on Martell like this, and you still want to form an alliance!"

Davon shrugged, with an expression of indifference: "If you don't make an alliance, then Dorne is ready to bear the wrath of the Stormland nobles. Now there are 30,000 Stormland troops outside the city, all thinking of avenging Duke Renly. You said, if they attack regardless of casualties, how long can Sunspear City last? After the city is broken, will the angry storm land nobles massacre the city to vent their anger?"

"We will tell everyone that you Lannister poisoned Duke Renly!" Princess Arianne said through gritted teeth.

Da Feng chuckled, confidently said: "That must be believed by someone."

He paused for a moment, and then tried to persuade him: "But if Dorne agrees to form an alliance, then Lord Tywin will offer another big gift. A real big gift!"

"What big gift?"

"A big win."

"Great victory?" Princess Arianne seemed to understand something.

Ed Stark rebelled, so there is a high probability that the Riverlands and Valleys, which are closely related to the North, will also rebel. As for the Stormlands, naturally they will not tolerate a Lannister scoundrel stealing the throne of the Baratheon family.

Therefore, these three realms are destined to become the enemies of the Lannister family.

But Princess Arianne questioned: "Tywin will not want to cooperate with us to deal with the armies of the Riverland, Stormland, and Valley? But how do we know that this is not a trap to lure us out of the city? Ma The Tire family can't trust you cunning lions!"

"Lord Tywin also guessed your doubts." Dafeng explained, "Therefore, there is no need for you to venture out of the city. The troops in the western region will withdraw overnight, and at the same time, they will secretly send someone to burn down the food supplies of the other three-region troops. , the fortresses such as God's Grace City and Yronwood City that have been conquered before will all be returned to Dorne."

Princess Arianne suddenly became short of breath: "The back road is cut off, and the food and grass are burned. You are trying to trap the army of the three realms to death in the desert."

Davon chuckled: "I heard that Dorn's most powerful weapons are the blazing sun and the halberd, and the former is even more terrifying. Is the Martell family satisfied with this great gift?"

Princess Arianne finally couldn't help but be moved.

Although she also understood that this was Duke Tywin using the hands of the Dornish people to eradicate dissidents, the temptation was too great.

The Martell family desperately needed such a big victory.

Since the defeat of Starfall City, Dorne has been devastated and suffered heavy losses, and the prestige of the Martell family has also declined again and again.

They really need a big victory to boost morale and stabilize the status and prestige of the Martell family.

Moreover, the captives obtained by the great victory can also be exchanged for ransom to make up for Dorne's losses in this war.

Even if it completely offended the nobles of the three realms for this, it was worth it.

So, Princess Arianne looked eagerly at her father.

Prince Doran pondered for a while, and finally said: "Yes, but I have two conditions."

Da Feng frowned upon hearing this: "Tell me about it."

"First, Princess Myrcella Baratheon must marry my son Tristan."

"Yes." Davon nodded in agreement without much hesitation, apparently having obtained the approval of Duke Tywin before coming.

Prince Doran continued expressionlessly: "Second, you must hand over the murderer who killed my brother. As long as you agree to these two conditions, the Martell family will agree to form an alliance with the Lannister family and fully support Tommen. king."

"No problem!" Davon happily agreed, he had long been unhappy with that Caesar.

When he was on Arbor Island, he was almost forced to jump into the sea and swim back to Lannisport.

Whether it's for the king's revenge or for the dragon, the Lannister family is destined not to let this person go, and it is not a problem at all to hand him over to the Dornishmen to kill.

"Thank you for your efforts for the peace of the Seven Kingdoms." Davon bowed slightly proudly.

Prince Doran smiled and nodded:

"May the friendship between Martell and Lannister last forever."

Princess Arianne noticed that when her father said this, his hands, which were constantly trembling due to gout, were rarely stabilized.

In his hand, he holds a cyvasse chess piece that symbolizes a dragon.
