Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 113: Judgment Day? Day of Spoils Division

As Samantha Tully left the Tower with the remaining girls of the Hightower family, the resistance of Oldtown came to an end. The main branch of the Hightower family, which had ruled Whispering Bay for nearly ten thousand years from the Tower, was almost wiped out. Only the distant branches that had become civilians and minor nobles escaped because they had no right to join the army.

"Your Highness, please take a look. This is the list of the rebels we compiled." Earl Thaddeus Rowan walked into the camp outside the city with the list of Green Party nobles. Three dragons were resting in the open space, and Longzier and Valar were sitting in the tail circle of Wormithor with Jacaerys. Sitting with them were two Alans, Earl Vincent Caon, Lady Zhenxia Fossoway, Earl Roland Cotoin, and Gaimund Hightower who sat cautiously on the side. He was awarded Grey Castle, a stone castle on Grey Island, for his timely surrender and killing of important members of the Hightower family, to maintain the last Hightowers.

Womisol opened his eyes and looked at Count Thaddeus, then lifted his tail and let him go. Count Thaddeus couldn't help swallowing his saliva as he looked at the huge beast, and then he slowly walked into the small circle.

"The Hightower family is the leader of the rebellion. Their punishment has been basically determined. It depends on whether Her Majesty the Queen chooses to let Sir Hobart wear black clothes or behead him directly." Vincent Kaon said: "Your Highness, in the Hightower territory, the Hightower family's vassals, the Mullendall family, the Kuy family and the Bulwe family also participated in the rebellion, as well as the Blybar family of the Semicircle Castle. There is also the Peake family. Their family has a total of three castles: Star Shuttle City, White Garden City and Dunstonbury. Although Urwin Peake is also at the core of the rebellion, he is also a hero who sacrificed Oldtown."

"They will accept the punishment of the kingdom." Longzier said calmly: "If they dare to disobey, I will ride on Wormisol to teach them that betrayal will have a price to pay. The four families will be punished by depriving their territories and titles. As for the Peake family, their three castles and affiliated territories will all be taken away. Urwin Peake's contribution saved his head." Longzier looked at Prince Jacaris: "The adult men of the four rebellious families and Urwin Peake will wear black clothes and go to the Wall to serve. Cregan will welcome them. As for Urwin's children, does he have any children?"

"He has a son, Titus Peake, and a daughter." Germund Hightower said timidly, "I saw Titus in the barracks."

"Oh, I remember now." Alan Tully slapped his thigh: "He is my prisoner, a very brave boy." Since Alan took over his father's broken heart, he seemed to have forgotten that he was not even nineteen years old and was also a child.

"I will reserve a piece of land for him." Longzel sighed, "But he cannot inherit his father's title and title. From now on, the Peck family can only exist as a family of wealthy knights."

"It's a fair punishment." Lady Zhenxia nodded. "Prince Longzel, according to your request, half of the Hightower family's territory will be divided with you as war compensation, and the other half will be given to a family loyal to the queen."

Longzel drew a line on the map. "Earl Alan Bisbury will swear allegiance to me. The Sun House of the Kuy family, the Highland City of the Mullendor family and the affiliated territories will be assigned to my family, and Earl Roland Cotoin and his new territory will be sworn to your son, Lady Zhenxia. The Semicircular Castle will be taken over by Earl Rowan, and part of the territory of the Blybar family will be allocated to Earl Florent. In addition, the old town will also be appropriately divided."

"Oldtown will be returned to the crown." Prince Jacaerys took over Longzel's arrangement. "The royal family has decided to move the church to King's Landing. The Archbishop will temporarily reside in the Cathedral of Our Lady of Grace in King's Landing. My mother will build a cathedral named after her for the Archbishop after King's Landing has sufficient finances. It will be more magnificent than the Cathedral of Stars."

Jacaerys pointed to the Citadel on the map and said, "The Citadel will also be split up, and the College of Cardinals will all move to King's Landing. I plan to allocate the land of the Alchemists' Guild to them. The College of Cardinals will need to cast and distribute bachelor's necklaces under the supervision of the royal family. Oldtown will only retain teaching venues for a few subjects. History will be moved to King's Landing, and the teaching of raven studies, metallurgy, medicine, and mysticism will be transferred to Silvercrown. Lord Longzel generously lent a large piece of land in Silvercrown to the Citadel for the construction of new classrooms and a large library."

"Won't this cause dissatisfaction in the academy?" Lady Zhenxia asked worriedly.

"Let them tell the dragon if they are dissatisfied." Longzel smiled and said, "They always miscalculate their own strength. Knowledge is indeed power, but under the dragon's flame, all beings are equal."

The treatment of the rebellious lords in the west was also temporarily determined before the general offensive. The punishment conditions temporarily determined by Longzel included a fine of one million pure gold dragons on the Lannister family to punish the rebellion of the Lion family in the early stages of the war; 70% of the gold mined in Westerling, Casterly Rock, Golden Tooth, Nunburg, Tarbeck, and Castamere within ten years would be paid to the royal family; the tax rate in Lannisport would be raised; all the lords in the west who participated in the rebellion would need to pass their titles to their heirs, then put on black clothes and go to the Wall to serve.

The princes of the Western Territory gratefully accepted this condition. Longzel did not even ask for hostages or reduce the fiefdom, which was a great grace for the princes of the Western Territory.

at this time.

King's Landing. The civilians, who were already struggling under high tax rates, were dealt another heavy blow.

"Priest, save my child, save my child." A woman hugged the cold little girl and fell to the side of the shepherd. The shepherd stretched out his hand wrapped in cloth and touched the little girl's face and her blue lips. "Another lamb of the Seven Gods was taken away by the devil." The shepherd sighed. "Child, it's tremor disease. The devil from that year is back again."

The woman with the "tremor" panicked and threw the child in her arms to the ground. The crowd around her who had stood up sickly and watched scattered. How could the citizens of King's Landing forget the tremor? The tremor epidemic killed almost half of the population of King's Landing. The shepherd stood in the middle of the crowd and raised his broken cane with his intact arm.

"Brothers and sisters! Don't forget that it was the devil sitting on the Iron Throne who committed incest and burned the devout believers of the Seven Gods with the dragon, and the Seven Gods sent down the disaster. Now, the disaster has come again, the disaster has come again! The devil is not in hell, the devil is on the Iron Throne, brothers and sisters, the wanton woman on the Iron Throne is also the product of incest, and is the object of disgust of the gods, so the disaster has come again. Everyone, during this period of time, I have seen too many brothers and sisters die in the cold and die of hunger. There is bread in the market, but we can't afford it. Now, the plague is coming again. This is the punishment of the gods for our attempt to replace the gods with devils!"

The shepherd suddenly opened his tattered clothes, revealing the seven-pointed star tattooed on his chest: "Brothers and sisters, do you want to eat bread and drink beer? Do you want to survive the great plague? Come, the seven gods are guiding us, the seven gods are looking at us lovingly, as long as we turn back from our mistakes, the seven gods will bless us."

He knelt devoutly among the crowd and shouted, "Seven Gods above!"

The people in Flea Bottom raised their hands one after another. They seemed to be infected by the shepherd: "Seven Gods, Seven Gods!"

The Red Keep, the Tower of the Prime Minister.

"Cold, cold."

Maester Gladys stopped Rhaenyra, and the queen looked at Miss Marseille, who was shaking and coughing in the room, with some concern. This was already the seventh member of the Red Keep to show similar symptoms.

"Have you found out what the disease is?" Queen Rhaenyra asked nervously. Maester Gladys sighed and closed the door. "It's the tremor, Your Majesty. This disease progresses very quickly. In the early stages of the disease, the patient will be tortured by the cold radiating from the inside out and shiver uncontrollably. This situation will become more and more severe until the teeth chatter and the arms and legs twitch. When the Stranger approaches, the seriously ill will cough up blood, and finally their lips will turn a creepy blue."

The maester stopped Rhaenyra from getting closer. "During the last great outbreak of the Shiver Sickness, Princess Daenerys, daughter of King Jaehaerys, became a victim. Her death also means that your bloodline can no longer protect you from the Shiver Sickness. Especially with Princess Baena and Prince Joffrey still by your side, this disease is almost fatal to the elderly and children."

"What should we do then?" Rhaenyra panicked when she heard the children's names.

"Your Majesty, I know a place to go." A woman's voice came from the stairs. "White Maggot" Messalia walked out from the shadows. She was now serving the Queen. As a hero in the opening of King's Landing, she served as the Queen's intelligence chief. "There is a manor outside King's Landing, located on a high mountain on the coast. It was bought by Lord Tigaro Dagareon, a subordinate of Prince Longzel, when he lived in King's Landing. It is hidden enough and can effectively isolate the flow of people in King's Landing."

"Okay, okay." Rainier's panic was almost written on her face: "I will move there with the children right away."

"Your Majesty, how do we prevent the epidemic?" Maester Gladys asked. Grand Maester Orwell, who was supposed to be his powerful assistant, was arrested and imprisoned by Rhaenyra, so he was the only one who could handle the plague. "In addition to the tremors, three servants in the Red Keep have been infected with dragon pox, but the mortality rate of dragon pox is too high, so it is difficult to spread on a large scale."

Hearing about epidemic prevention, Rhaenyra was stunned for a moment. "Good maester, this task is left to you."
