Game of Thrones: I Created the Weave

"Lareza."

Joffrey explored her black eyes as if he saw some secret within them.

"You are Sarella Sand?"

The King's voice, carrying a rich spiritual and magical aura, cut through the air and reached everyone's ears.

Everyone was stunned, their eyes hazy.

The King nodded to himself again. "It truly is you, Sarella."

Without needing a verbal response, Joffrey had already confirmed the answer from her trembling eyes and the poison needle hidden between her fingers.

An unexpected surprise.

Sarella Sand, a bastard daughter of Prince Oberyn Nymeros Martell, the "Red Viper," was lively, intelligent, and studious, with a love for history and a pursuit of the unknown and secrets.

Sarella and her seven sisters all bore the surname "Sand," the name for bastards in Dorne, and were collectively known as the "Sand Snakes."

Although these eight Sand Snakes were bastards, the "Red Viper" Oberyn gave them the best protection and education, and allowed them to grow up alongside the children of the lords of Sunspear and the rest of Dorne.

The Sand Snakes thus became a force to be reckoned with among the new generation of Dorne.

Joffrey liked this surprise very much.

He had long had his eye on Dorne and was hesitating about when and how to open up the situation and bring Dorne's power into his grasp as soon as possible. And now a Sand Snake had delivered herself to his doorstep.

Sarella Sand.

He looked her up and down teasingly, observing the nervous and wary Sand Snake.

"Could it be that Prince Doran intends to heed the call of the Iron Throne and march north to meet the rebels, and has sent you to deliver a message and show sincerity?"

Theoretically, this was indeed possible.

Prince Oberyn, the "Red Viper," was the older brother of Prince Doran Nymeros Martell, the Lord of Sunspear and the liege lord to whom all the lords of Dorne pledged allegiance.

Based on this relationship, Sarella was Prince Doran's niece, qualified to be a messenger or hostage.

But in reality, Dorne was currently unlikely to surrender voluntarily.

On one hand, Dorne's unique geography, with its vast deserts and wilderness, hindered its connection with the other Six Kingdoms. Its economy was relatively independent, making it difficult for foreign armies to completely conquer.

Its culture and ethnicity were also influenced by the Rhoynar, further weakening the Dornish people's sense of belonging to the Iron Throne.

To this day, Dorne was the only kingdom in the Seven Kingdoms that still retained its royal title. The rulers and children of the Martell family throughout history were all addressed as "Prince" or "Princess."

It was clear that compared to other territories loyal to the Iron Throne, Dorne was more like a vassal state, or even a united kingdom.

Precisely because of this, Dorne had sufficient reason and confidence to remain neutral and did not need to hastily take sides.

On the other hand, during the War of the Usurper, the Martell family stood by the Targaryen family and chose to oppose the Baratheon rebellion.

Prince Lewyn Martell and countless Dornish soldiers died in this war. Afterwards, the Lannisters cruelly murdered Rhaegar's wife, Elia Martell, and their children in King's Landing.

Elia Martell was Prince Doran's only sister.

Although Hand of the King Arryn personally went to Dorne afterwards for peace talks and the two sides re-established an alliance.

However, Dorne had since formed an irreconcilable hatred with the Lannister family, and at the same time, its support for the Iron Throne became colder, and its isolationist sentiment became more severe.

Joffrey also knew that the Martell family had been secretly supporting the Targaryen restoration.

The "Red Viper" Oberyn had personally traveled to Braavos in the Free Cities and, witnessed by the Sealord of Braavos, made a secret pact with Ser Willem Darry, Viserion's protector.

The two sides agreed that Viserion would marry Arianne Martell when he came of age, and Dorne would raise an army to support Viserion in reclaiming the Iron Throne.

Also involved in this conspiracy were Varys, Magister Illyrio Mopatis of Pentos, the exiled Jon Connington, and Commander Myles Toyne of the Golden Company.

But this plan had undoubtedly been completely shattered.

Joffrey extended his left hand, and Daenerys obediently pressed her cheek against it, lowering herself to sit in his arms as his hand moved.

"Dany, you didn't know, did you? Ser Willem Darry once found a fiancée for Viserion."

Joffrey looked at Sarella.

"What a perfect fiancée, Princess Arianne Martell, the heir to Dorne."

Arianne!? Sarella's gaze instantly shifted from Daenerys back to the King, meeting those mysterious and magical eyes, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

"It's a shame Viserion won't be needing her," Joffrey said with regret.

"Alas, I truly worry about Princess Arianne's future. Who else can she marry? Willas Tyrell of Highgarden, or compete with Miss Margaery for Uncle Renly?"

"I recommend Uncle Renly. Who says a King can only have one Queen?"

"Oh, right, Uncle Renly isn't a King."

Joffrey kindly stated, "However, I can specifically issue a decree allowing Uncle Renly to marry two wives. I hope Princess Arianne will be satisfied."

Sarella remained silent.

King Joffrey's words were too sharp and heavy; she had no idea how to respond.

Everything tonight had exceeded her expectations.

It had all been going smoothly.

Following Archmaester Marwyn as Assistant Maester Lareza, she successfully arrived in King's Landing.

Next was to silently investigate the secrets of King's Landing, cleverly obtaining the knowledge and information she desired.

No one would notice her, just like at The Citadel.

What an interesting adventure.

But how was her identity seen through so easily?

Is this magic?

Will Renly and House Tyrell fail?

Did her father and the others really support the Targaryens, and has King Joffrey set his sights on Dorne?

Excitement, panic, and other unspeakable emotions surged within her. Sarella raised her head and met the King's eyes, trying hard not to look away, showing her defiance.

But she had nowhere to escape.

Joffrey looked at the blond youth again, "Leo Tyrell, did Highgarden send you to seek peace?"

"Lazy" Leo bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, although I am only an assistant maester, I have long dedicated everything I have to knowledge and truth, forgetting my surname. Everything about House Tyrell is in the past, and has nothing to do with me."

Joffrey picked up a Six-Pointed Star badge, "Actually, I had already made up my mind."

"To restore peace as soon as possible, unite the Lords of the Seven Kingdoms, and save the people from the flames of war, I am willing to endure criticism, break tradition, and marry Miss Margaery as my second Queen."

Leo Tyrell looked at the King with a shocked expression.

Joffrey sighed, "It's just that there are deep misunderstandings between both sides, and letters are not enough to show sincerity. You are a suitable emissary. What a pity."

"Now it seems we can only quell the rebellion with blood and fire."

Joffrey tossed the Six-Pointed Star.

The brass badge spun on the table, making a crisp clinking sound, growing louder and more rapid.

Before the Six-Pointed Star completely stopped.

Leo of House Tyrell bowed solemnly.

"If it can quell the unrest and save lives, my personal interests are insignificant. What does it matter to be Leo Tyrell once more?"

"Your Majesty, Leo is willing to be the messenger."
