The Mountain of Ice and Fire

The Mountain said, "Toman Lannister, Earl, Myrcella Lannister, Lady Conny, Ser Jaime Lannister, step forward."

Toman, Myrcella, Conny, and Jaime stepped forward and stood before the King in turn.

"Myrcella Lannister, you have a bad reputation. You are Ser Jaime's bastard," the Mountain said.

Myrcella's beautiful face flushed with shame, and she lowered her head, looking at her toes.

Jaime's face turned ugly.

Toman and Lady Conny were both stunned, shocked by His Majesty's humiliation of Myrcella on such an occasion.

Queen Jane said, "Your Majesty..."

The Mountain raised his left hand to stop Queen Jane from speaking: "Myrcella, are you willing to be my adopted daughter and become a princess of the Clegane royal family?"

The hall suddenly became very quiet.

Jorah Mormont, Gendry Baratheon and others who had just thought the King's words were inappropriate were stunned.

Jaime Lannister was also stunned.

He didn't expect the Mountain to say such a thing.

In this way, who would dare to laugh at Myrcella as an incestuous bastard? A vile seed?

As long as Myrcella nodded, she would instantly transform from the humblest status to the most noble princess. This is the ugly duckling turning into a swan.

In the future, only young talents from great noble families would be qualified to talk about marriage with Myrcella.

This was the best protection the Mountain could give Myrcella Lannister in her life.

Lady Conny was also shocked and couldn't believe what she heard.

Toman opened his mouth wide and forgot to close it.

Jane smiled and said, "Myrcella, why don't you kneel down and thank your father."

Myrcella's head was buzzing, and a whistle was blowing shrilly in her ears. She fell into confusion. A strong hand reached out and grabbed Myrcella's hand: "Myrcella, kneel down. King Gregor Clegane is already your father." Jaime promptly brought Myrcella Lannister back to her senses.

Myrcella Lannister knelt down to the Mountain and kowtowed heavily, blood seeping from her forehead because of the force.

"Rise, my daughter. From now on, your name is Myrcella Clegane."

"Yes, Father!" Myrcella stood up, trying her best not to shed tears.

Ever since Myrcella learned that she was the daughter of Jaime and Cersei, she was not repulsed by this identity, but rather a little happy. She hated her drunken father Robert Baratheon, and even more her lecherous father Robert Baratheon—she preferred her handsome, elegant, and highly skilled father Jaime—but in the days that followed, the cold eyes and harsh words that her incestuous bastard identity brought her were like countless open and hidden arrows, submerging her in just a few days.

The unbearable words, mean humiliations, and extreme contempt she heard inside and outside King's Landing made her body tremble even now when she thought about them.

But now she had a truly formal and noble identity: Princess Myrcella Clegane!

Myrcella Clegane was a smart and beautiful girl. After she got up, she kowtowed to Queen Jane again, calling her mother.

The kind-hearted Captain Jorah Mormont took the lead in applauding, congratulating the King and Queen on having a daughter.

Jorah was a great noble of the North in Westeros and knew the humble status of a girl with an incestuous bastard identity in Westeros. Myrcella had escaped from Westeros, but her extremely bad reputation would not disappear. And in Essos, there were also many Westerosi who knew Myrcella's identity. What's more, Myrcella Lannister would soon return to Westeros. If this incestuous identity was not changed, she would never be able to obtain true happiness in her life.

This move by His Majesty made Jorah Mormont and others' goodwill and respect for the King rise sharply!

Jaime Lannister knelt on one knee. This was the first time he had sincerely knelt to the Mountain: "Your Majesty, please give me the honor of being a royal guard. Please grant me the opportunity to protect Your Majesty on the Eastern Expedition. In any difficult or arduous moment, I will never betray Your Majesty and the Clegane royal family. If necessary, I will not hesitate to give my life for Your Majesty."

The Mountain looked at Jaime: "Ser Jaime, please rise. Myrcella is your daughter, and also my daughter. The Lannister and Clegane families are one family now."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Jaime said as he rose.

"Ser Jaime Lannister, I now formally appoint you as a soldier of the Royal Guard, the King's personal sword-bearing guard. Stand by my side."

"As you command, Your Majesty." Jaime knelt again, saluted His Majesty the King and Queen Jane in the manner of a soldier, and then stood beside the Mountain.

Lady Conny's eyes suddenly turned red.

She knew that the hatred in Jaime's heart had finally been put down. The family's wanderings and even the hidden dangers that brought about the disaster were completely gone.

The Mountain gestured, and Little Marquis Petyr Clegane brought a stool and added a princess's seat next to Queen Jane. Myrcella Clegane sat on the princess's seat. The whole place burst into applause, and the courtiers and generals stepped forward to pay their respects and congratulations to Princess Myrcella. Many nobles and noble ladies took off their exquisite and precious accessories and presented them to the princess on the spot.

The Mountain said, "Earl Toman Lannister, what do you think of September from Ganlanyani?"

"September is beautiful, Your Majesty."

"I want you to marry her. Will you agree?"

Toman Lannister was stunned, and then bowed: "Your Majesty's marriage is the greatest honor for Toman Lannister. I am extremely grateful."

Queen Jane and Daenerys both looked at the Mountain with strange expressions.

The Mountain's decision surprised both of them.

The Mountain took the initiative to bestow September to Toman, showing that he was not moved by the beauty of Ganlanyani and had no other thoughts. This made Queen Jane and Daenerys quite satisfied.

Jane and Daenerys looked at each other, understanding each other, and their eyes warmed up. When the Mountain agreed to take in December, the Saintess Gina, there was ice and snow in the eyes of Jane and Daenerys, as if winter had entered their hearts.

Not only Queen Jane and Daenerys, but everyone in the audience did not expect His Majesty the King to bestow September to Toman as Countess of Casterly Rock.

The Mountain looked at his sword-bearing guard, Ser Jaime Lannister: "Ser Jaime, you are Toman's father. Do you agree to this marriage?"

"Your Majesty's marriage is Toman's honor and the Lannister family's honor," Jaime said.

The Mountain looked at Conny: "Lady Conny, what do you think?"

"September is beautiful and charming, and her age is similar to Toman. I only have joy and congratulations for them."

The Mountain was very satisfied with Jaime and Conny's answers. He looked at Hoster and Saintess Gina: "Earl Hoster, Saintess Gina, I will bestow September to Earl Toman, making her the Countess of Casterly Rock. What do you think?"

Hoster Redwyne said, "Your Majesty, you are willing to bestow September. That is September's great blessing and the glory of me and Gina."

Gina bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, thank you for bestowing September. I pray that the Sea God will bestow all blessings upon Your Majesty."

The Mountain smiled slightly: "In addition to Earl Toman, I also intend to bestow October to Vice Commander Theon Greyjoy. Theon, step forward."

Theon Greyjoy was whispering and laughing, his expression slightly ambiguous. Suddenly hearing his name, his smile suddenly froze on his face.

Asha looked at her brother, who had died once but had not changed his 'lustful' advantages: "His Majesty the King asked you to step forward, idiot!"

Theon stepped forward and stood before the Mountain.

"Theon, are you willing to marry October?"

Theon looked at October. October, November, and December had all removed their veils. Each girl had an absolutely beautiful face. Ganlanyani was famous for producing beauties, and it lived up to its name.

Whether it was October, November, or December, Theon was very willing to marry any of them.

He seemed a little unclear about such a good thing suddenly falling on his head.

Theon had no clear concept of marriage, but his resistance to getting close to women was negative. As long as the woman was beautiful and charming, he would be immediately conquered.

"Your Majesty, I am very willing to marry October."

The Mountain nodded: "October, what about you?"

"I will listen to Your Majesty's orders and arrangements." October's voice was melodious and pleasant, like heavenly music.

Theon had never heard such a clear and moving voice.

From January to December, each girl had her own unique characteristics, beauty, and talent. Otherwise, Saintess Gina would not have sent these twelve girls to His Majesty the King as a tribute and blessing.

"Okay, congratulations to Theon and October on becoming loving couples." The Mountain said this to Queen Jane.

The hall burst into warm applause.

Jane nodded to the Mountain, perhaps praising the Mountain's 'loyalty' to family and marriage.

In addition to Jane as his wife, the Mountain also had Daenerys and Arianne Martell. The marital relationship between the Mountain and Daenerys was obtained with Jane's consent, help, and support; the way the Mountain persuaded Jane was to tell Jane that he hoped the Clegane family's bloodline could obtain Daenerys's unburnt bloodline, and at the same time, Daenerys was also the best agent for managing Slaver's Bay; the second was that the three little dragons hatched by the Sheepstealer, Dreamfyre, Knight, and Lady, were all raised by Jane.

Dragons are magical creatures of the highest level that are intelligent and recognize their masters. Jane raised the three little dragons, which means that all three dragons would recognize Jane as their mother, and one of the dragons would become Jane's mount in the future.

The Mountain obtained Princess Arianne Martell, and the initial purpose was even simpler, which was to control Dorne. After Arianne was defeated at Highgarden, she was forced to kneel and swear that she would only be loyal to the Mountain for the rest of her life. The reward she received for her promise was that the Mountain spared the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in Dorne, and would always recognize and support the Martell family's control over Dorne.

In the days that followed, the Mountain and Daenerys, as well as Arianne, developed deep marital relationships. The Mountain helped Daenerys regain Slaver's Bay and reshape her royal power, and the Mountain also made Arianne the 'unparalleled' dragon knight of Westeros, and expanded Dorne's maritime jurisdiction hundreds of times, adding three new free trade city-states.

The Mountain conquered territory, and also conquered Daenerys and Arianne. But this also became another kind of shackle, that is, when the Mountain's eyes revealed interest in a certain beauty, it would incur the displeasure of Daenerys and Arianne, and would also be opposed by Queen Jane.

When Saintess Gina sent twelve charming beauties from Ganlanyani to the Mountain, this might be a great thing for any other king, but for the Mountain, it was a big trouble.

Queen Jane is a blood witch who is immune to all poisons and can easily create deadly poisons! She also has the 'prophetic' ability that ordinary people do not have. The management of the Mountain's vast empire cannot be separated from the help of Queen Jane, and he respects Jane. Jane is not afraid of any poison, but the Mountain is not. Because of this, the Mountain respects Jane even more.

Daenerys is the Mother of Dragons, possessing the absolute loyalty and love of the Unsullied army and the people of Slaver's Bay! Her prestige among the Dothraki is second only to the Mountain. Daenerys also has the most remarkable ability, she is the Unburnt.

This is the most powerful capital that the Red God has given to the Targaryen family: the gene to be close to the magic dragon. And the Mountain hopes that the Clegane family also has such a genetic bloodline. After unremitting efforts, Daenerys is already pregnant with his dragon seed. This seed may be a spark. The Mountain hopes that Daenerys will be happy before she gives birth to his child!

And Arianne, with a hot, outgoing, and unrestrained personality, Arianne is the Mountain's most important and loyal dragon knight. She will not hesitate to give her life for the Mountain's safety. She is also the mother of the Mountain's second son, Prince Rodrik Clegane. Arianne's feelings for the Mountain have long been transformed from a political marriage into a family with love, righteousness, and affection!

Three women: Jane, Daenerys, and Arianne - when they all disagreed with the Mountain taking in the twelve months, the Mountain had to seriously consider their opinions.

The twelve months have completed the arrangements for ten months, and there are still November and December left.

The Mountain looked at Jane, and his eyes met Daenerys's eyes, and then he knew what to do.

"Duke Gendry Clegane," the Mountain said, "Do you already have someone in mind to marry?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Duke Gendry stepped out of the line and said.

"Oh, who?"

Gendry Baratheon glanced at the place where the noble ladies were: "I dare not say, Your Majesty."

"I grant you impunity, speak."

"She will kill me, Your Majesty."

The Mountain's gaze swept across the place where the ladies were: "Is she in this throne hall?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Has she agreed to marry you?"

"She said absolutely not, Your Majesty."

"Oh, maybe I already know who you hope to marry, but that is impossible, do you understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I have two peerless beauties in front of me, they are called November and December, are you willing to choose one of them to be your wife?"

"No, Your Majesty." Gendry Baratheon's words were like the iron hammer he used when forging iron.
