Game of Thrones: I Created the Weave

The Redwyne twins looked very much alike, both with short orange hair and square faces covered in freckles.

But everyone present could distinguish them.

The Kingsguard wearing a white cloak and bearing a pure white shield sigil was undoubtedly Horas Redwyne, who had been raised as the younger son.

Horas Redwyne, whose breastplate was engraved with the purple grape sigil in the center, bowed and spoke.

"Your Majesty, please command."

Joffrey smiled faintly, "You two have been in King's Landing long enough. Why don't you go home with Earl Velaryon to take a look? You can also convey my regards to Earl Paxter."

The meaning was clear.

The Redwyne twins could go home!

Releasing the hostages of House Redwyne and giving up important bargaining chips. The King's decision should have shocked many, prompted advice, or caused secret hesitation.

However, no one showed a strong enough reaction. Not even Horas and Horas.

Everyone knew very well.

The mighty fleet at sea was worth a thousand words, more direct and powerful than any hostage or promise.

Compared to the two hundred ship cannons of the Third Fleet, the inclinations of the Redwyne twins were insignificant, and the attitude of The Arbor didn't matter much either.

After all.

The castle of The Arbor was no more difficult to breach than Rain House City.

The Redwyne twins bowed together, "Thank you for Your Majesty's consideration. Our father will surely feel the genuine care of the Royal Family, awaken, and pledge allegiance to the true King."

Joffrey nodded, "That would be for the best."

After showing might, grace was also needed.

Joffrey generously stated, "After the two fleets are combined into one, you two brothers can continue to command the ships originally belonging to The Arbor, and The Arbor will become a permanent port for the Royal Fleet."

The Royal Fleet permanently stationed at The Arbor? Horas and Horas were silent, unsure whether to express gratitude or slightly mention the difficulty of achieving this.

House Redwyne had been defeated and had surrendered, but accept a foreign fleet to be permanently stationed?

The two brothers didn't know if their father could tolerate it.

But Joffrey was confident in the generous terms he offered.

It was just stationing troops.

After witnessing the power of the ship cannons, Earl Paxter would naturally accept.

Moreover, as long as House Redwyne put itself in the right position and sided with the Iron Throne, this condition would not be a restriction or punishment, but rather a coveted reward and a symbol of closeness.

However, achieving this "as long as" was indeed somewhat difficult.

This "as long as" meant that House Redwyne had to make its own choice between "King" and "Liege Lord".

This was never easy.

Joffrey knew very well that before Divine Grace shone upon them, there would be no unified correct answer to the question of "who is greater, the King or the Liege Lord".

Furthermore, the major families in the Reach had long-term intermarriages and alliances. In terms of affection, history, contracts, and common interests, the first choice for House Redwyne could only be House Tyrell, which represented the Reach.

How could the Reach, the most fertile and populous region in the Seven Kingdoms, be an alliance of interests?

It must be divided and conquered, one by one.

The Arbor, isolated overseas, was the best breakthrough point in the Reach.

Joffrey then said, "Everyone has seen the contributions of House Redwyne. Clearing pirates, guarding trade routes, making the Summer Sea in the south a thoroughfare, benefiting all the people of the Seven Kingdoms."

The Redwyne twins were puzzled, but they also knew this was just a prelude, and the words that followed were the real key.

Joffrey took out a scroll.

"The Royal Family will naturally not ignore meritorious lords. By special decree, Earl Redwyne is hereby granted the title of 'Guardian of the Summer Sea', tasked with guarding the sea borders, defending against foreign enemies, and protecting the shipping lanes."

Horas and Horas were immediately stunned, and many people in the hall couldn't help but show signs of wavering.

The Summer Sea extended eastward to the southern coast of Essos and southward directly to the northern coast of Sothoryos.

The Summer Sea, located between the three continents of Westeros, Essos, and Sothoryos, was vast and prosperous, perhaps as large as the entire Westeros Continent, or even much larger.

What did the title "Guardian of the Summer Sea" represent? Did House Redwyne now own the entire Summer Sea?

Everyone looked at the King.

There was another question: the Summer Sea did not belong to Westeros, nor did it belong to the Iron Throne.

Joffrey threw the appointment letter down, and the Redwyne brothers hurriedly reached out to catch it, almost dropping the scroll to the ground because of the jostling.

Joffrey pointed to the center of the hall, where the map on the floor had somehow become the entire known world.

"Not just the Summer Sea, under Divine Grace, the Royal Fleet will traverse every sea, the Narrow Sea, the Shivering Sea, the Jade Sea, the Sunset Sea, and even more distant and unknown worlds."

"It won't be long before the guardian positions for each sea are filled."

Everyone realized, yes, who could resist such an invincible fleet? The vast ocean was about to be taken into the hands of the Seven Kingdoms!

"Horas, Horas."

The Redwyne brothers raised their heads blankly and looked at the King.

Joffrey instructed, "The position of 'Guardian of the Summer Sea' is of great importance. You must persuade Earl Paxter to accept the appointment and integrate the fleet as soon as possible to set sail, clear the seas, and declare sovereignty."

The expressions and eyes of the Redwyne brothers gave the answer.

Joffrey was satisfied. With the ship cannons displaying majesty and the Summer Sea bestowing grace, how could House Redwyne refuse?

The alliance in the Reach was about to be torn apart.

At the same time, the changes in the Stormlands would be even more rapid and thorough.

Joffrey had a thought.

The map on the ground changed back to the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.

The Redwyne twins returned to the ranks.

Joffrey continued to draw lines on the map, south from Rain House City, then west. The lines semi-encircled Cape Wrath and then went deep inland to the west.

Everyone followed the path of the lines.

The first place passed was Greenstone on Estermont, the family of the King's grandmother.

Next was Weeping Town of House Whitehead, located on the southern coast of Cape Wrath, adjacent to the Dornish Sea. It was the largest trading town in the Stormlands, wealthy and prosperous, and worth the effort to occupy.

West of Weeping Town was Stonehelm, where the Red Mountains and Cape Wrath met. The castle guarded the mouth of the Slayne River.

Kingsguard Ser Balon Swann was from House Swann of Stonehelm.

Further west from Stonehelm was the end of the route, Blackhaven of Earl Beric Dondarrion, a military fortress guarding the Boneway leading to Dorne.

West of Blackhaven was the end of the route, Harvest Hall, belonging to House Selmy.

"Ser Barristan."

Joffrey turned to the Captain of the Kingsguard beside him, Barristan Selmy.

"The entire Fourth Fleet of Earl Sunglass, the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Regiments of the Royal Guard will act together. Ser, you will command them."

The spoils of victory were one-third of the Stormlands.
