Chapter 165: The Honorable Lord Lyanna Mormont
Although Lyanna also has a good impression of Jack, she cares more about the people of Bear Island. She must be responsible for every citizen of Bear Island.
Bear Island experienced the War of the Five Kings and the invasion of the Ironborn, and there were only 62 people on Bear Island who could fight.
And in order to ensure that the Ironborn would not take the opportunity to plunder, Lyanna only brought thirty people this time.
Therefore, it is basically impossible to obtain land that can support more than 10,000 people by making meritorious contributions.
Coupled with Jack's frequent visits, Maester Pug felt that he had found an opportunity to help Lyanna take a step further.
He felt that Jack liked Lyanna very much, but it could also be that Jack was a bad guy who liked little girls.
But Master Puget Jack does not seem to be a BT. No matter from which aspect, Jack is a qualified and excellent ruler.
Therefore, Pug often hinted to Lyanna that if she could become Jack's woman.
The position of Marquis of Dreadfort can definitely be fought for, and the people of Bear Island will be able to better cope with the coming long night.
Although Maester Pug kept telling Lyanna not to feel pressured, his words and actions were telling Lyanna that this long night would be extremely long.
All the people of Bear Island are looking forward to Lyanna being rewarded with a fertile land so that they can store more food before the long night comes, so Lyanna is under a lot of pressure now.
In addition, Borisaf's words were indeed easy to be misunderstood, and Lyanna had the idea of becoming Jack's concubine at this moment.
But Lyanna always felt that this was like an X transaction, which caused the words on her lips to change from the Marquis of the Dreadfort to a piece of land that could be cultivated and feed everyone on Bear Island.
"Indeed, you are a little too young. It is not appropriate to use you as bait. After all, you haven't even had your first period yet. Wait, what I'm talking about seems to be something different from you!"
"I haven't even told you what I want to discuss with you yet. How could you have such an idea?"
Jack was a little surprised. He didn't react at first, but then he realized that there might be some information errors between the two parties.
"Didn't you ask me to come and play, and said that my age was just right or something?" Lyanna's voice became smaller and smaller, and then she suddenly realized something.
A huge sense of shame instantly enveloped Lyanna, tears flowed uncontrollably, and she sat in her seat, at a loss.
Lyanna has a strong character, and possesses maturity and wisdom far beyond her peers, while also having a sense of the overall situation and honor.
But due to a series of coincidences, Lyanna fell into such an embarrassing situation. Her childish character of saving face was exposed at once, and she couldn't stop crying.
Jack probably understood what had happened at this time. It must be that the fool Borisaf did not listen completely and conveyed some wrong message to Lyanna.
In addition, Jack really liked Lyanna's personality and often went to chat with her, which led to some misunderstandings for Lyanna.
However, Jack guessed that the reason must be due to the maester beside Lyanna.
Maester Pug followed Lyanna to Hearth City. Every time he went to talk to Lyanna, Pug would praise Jack in front of Lyanna and say how happy it was to be Jack's wife.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Since Pug kept praising Jack, Jack didn't say much. But now it seems that the other party is very likely hinting at Lyanna to be his concubine and planning something.
Judging from Lyanna's words, Pug may want to marry Lyanna to himself so that Mormont can obtain a rich fiefdom so that he can move away from Bear Island.
But this is not the point of the problem. The point is little Lyanna, whose eyes are red with shame.
However, Jack did not expect that the little bear girl who was not afraid or shed tears when facing the giant zombie in the original drama would actually shed tears because of such a thing.
But to be honest, it was hard for Jack to imagine how much courage Elianna's character would take to say these words.
If Jack were to put himself in Lyanna's shoes, he felt that he could carve out a Palace of Poseidon directly on the concrete floor of Poseidon Island.
Jack rubbed his brows, thought for a moment, and then took the initiative to speak:
"Maybe you misunderstood what Borisav said, but I do like you.
Your character and talent are very attractive to me, so I solemnly beg you, can you marry me and become my second wife? "
Jack didn't have any good solution at this time. If he directly stated and rejected Lyanna's words, it would most likely make Lyanna take her people back to Bear Island.
So Jack simply explained the situation and asked Lyanna to marry him.
Jack's original plan was to take Sansa Stark back from Littlefinger.
Then he made Sansa Stark his concubine, so that Poseidon could replace Stark as the Guardian of the North.
But Lyanna Mormont is also okay. Jack originally planned to support the Mormont family to become the next Bolton family.
As long as Jack puts more thought into it and gives Lyanna more support, I believe Lyanna's abilities are enough to make up for the inconvenience caused by her identity.
What's more, now the three earls in the north have been replaced by wildlings who support Jack, and these people can all become supporters of Lyanna.
After hearing Jack's words, Lyanna finally stopped crying. After Jack gently held Lyanna in his arms and comforted her, Lyanna recovered a little.
After nearly half an hour, Lyanna finally regained her composure and broke free from Jack's arms.
Then, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly said firmly:
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be held responsible for my impulsiveness and recklessness. I will lead the warriors of Bear Island to fight the enemy, and you can directly reward them according to their military merits."
Jack chuckled and said softly, "I have always believed that the men of Bear Island can defeat ten with one, but you only have thirty people.
The battlefield is changing rapidly. Do you think we can get enough land for everyone on Bear Island to survive?
What's more, I am the King of the Sea. There is no way I can take back what I have said. If I say I will marry you, I will marry you.
Tomorrow I will issue an imperial edict to appoint you as my first concubine, and that will be it."
Lyanna pursed her lips and asked uncertainly, "Do you want more?" Lyanna put her hand on her collar.
Jack immediately waved his hand and said, "Although I like loli and young women, I don't have a copper fetish. Let's talk about it after your menarche.
What we need to discuss now is whether the North is big enough for all of you on Bear Island to survive."
Lyanna was stunned. "What do you mean?" She was referring to Jack's last words.
"Isn't it obvious what I mean?
Robb Stark and Jon Snow died in battle.
Bran Stark and Rickon Stark were burned to death by Theon Greyjoy.
Sansa Stark married Tyrion Lannister.
Arya Stark is missing and her life or death is unknown.
The Stark family is dead in name only, my dear little wife, the respected Lord Lyanna Mormont!"
Lyanna looked at Jack's conceited and unquestionable eyes, and for a moment she didn't know what to say and felt a little overwhelmed.
