On the first Sunday after seeing off the Viking envoys.
Oran knocked on a woman's door at the monastery in King's Landing.
He wanted complete secrecy, so the monastery was empty at this time, and all the female monks followed Joan in holding open-air mass.
The room was filled with smoke and was a private bathroom room for senior nuns.
Pepa was getting ready to take a bath when Oran entered.
The two looked at each other, neither showing any shyness.
Oran was about to go to another room to wait, but Pepa said, "Your eyes have no evil thoughts, so in front of you, I feel the same whether you are wearing something or not. Your Excellency, let's get to the point."
This is not a compliment, but Pepa has seen that Oran's desire for power far exceeds everything else.
"So your skin is so fair and clear." Olan also spoke honestly.
"The skin is just a skin that a person wears when he comes to this world. When he leaves, only the saved soul can be freed."
After entering the monastery for so long, Pepa's temperament began to change.
She regained respect as a human being, and her heart full of wounds began to heal.
When the Vikings invaded Durham recently and dug up the Oran family cemetery, Pepa sent a letter to Oran saying that as a "princess", she was willing to "sacrifice" if there was anything she could do to help. ".
Therefore, Oran thought about the plan of how to defeat the Vikings for a long time, and finally decided to come to her.
"That day, you severely wounded King Ella in the fire and asked Henry to be loyal to me. I said that no one would ever hurt you, so why did you take the initiative to enter the dispute?"
"Can you hide? In this era, girls rely on their fathers, wives rely on their husbands, and subjects rely on the monarch.
My girlhood was ruined by my so-called 'father',
My former fiancé died long ago,
As your subject, I will help you share your hard work. "
Pepa said as she wiped her body with a towel.
I want to understand one thing. Desire between men and women is just like eating.
It's just an instinct, the lowest desire. Now, I have a higher desire, please help me achieve it. "
"what do you want?"
"I want a piece of land named after me. I want servants, carriages, manors, soldiers, and guards of honor."
Pepa is more beautiful than before, and her appearance is also the reason why King Ella bullied her.
Oran replied without thinking, "You have helped me. I agree to these requests. You can change your name and create a new family on your own. You will no longer have anything to do with the king."
"Thank you for your kindness, what can I do?"
"I want you to help me first lure out all those who oppose me in the kingdom, such as the Holy Bone Knight who was granted by your father and asked me to rush to the border, such as those royal servants who have lost their land and have a grudge. "
"After you lure them out, kill them?"
"No, give it to the Vikings for me, to Uba."
"Can I be part of your plan and fully understand what's going on?"
Pepa stood up, dried herself off, and then put on her clothes.
Oran saw countless scars on her body. Scars left by warriors were proof of bravery.
If the woman stays, it can only be said that she has suffered inhumane bullying!
Oran came behind Pepa and suddenly helped her tie the rope behind her. For a moment, the two of them were as close as husband and wife.
Then Olan came close to her temples.
"Your identity is still the princess, and as a monastery monk, you take the hospital riders and monks to the border counties to help Remi see a doctor.
I will give you a list. You secretly contact the dissatisfied people and tell them that Oran has the king under house arrest and captured the four princesses. When the time comes, he will kill the prince and betray the country with the Vikings. Let them raise the banner of justice. Against me. "
"Is it enough for me to stir up the so-called chivalry in their hearts? What if they are still afraid of you and dare not take action?"
Pepa turned around and their eyes met.
"For profit, tell them that I also plan to poison Malm and marry other noble girls.
She found out, so she agreed to get rid of me, and Malm's children would inherit everything from me.
As long as it succeeds, the kingdom will take on a new look, and all heroes 'anyway' will be rewarded. "
"Letting these rebels hang out with the Vikings? Doesn't that increase the risk?"
"Risks come with opportunities. A small fight is nothing. I want to lure them all to attack King's Landing."
Oran smiled and touched Pepa's face, "I will organize a wedding for you, using Ella's head and other gifts for you."
"Aren't you afraid that your elder sister and fourth sister will hate you in the future?"
"I have told them that Ella Norn is sterile and that all the children are the offspring of lovers. I don't care if they believe it or not. There is no place for the Norn family in this country."
Oran held Pepa's arm, and the two danced lightly in this spacious room.
"Sir, I want to give you a child."
"Why?"
"This way I can get all the protection with my children, but I am no longer able to have children."
"You can adopt one."
"Anyone? If I help you do this."
Olan stopped and said after a few seconds, "Who do you want?"
"In the future, I want Nanding's child to be my adopted son and inherit everything I have."
Bind Oran's most trusted subordinates for an extra layer of protection.
Oran understood and nodded, "What an amazing idea. In the future, your children will assist my children in ruling Britain with dignity."
With half a dance left, Pepa stopped and told Oran to make it up when the day came.
On the same day, Pepa started to do what Oran told her...
…
If you want to divide a group, you can start from various aspects.
One good way is to arouse suspicion.
After the second messenger sent to Oran, Oran distinguished Uba and Halfdan's troops.
Discrimination.
Oran stuffed many gifts to the Uba envoy, and when the Viking envoy team left, he deliberately revealed the secret to let Halfdan's people know that Oran had met with the rest of the team in private.
On the way back, the messenger of Uba delayed the action because Oran gave him too much property.
After being exposed and questioned by Halfdan's people, he just responded, "The noble Lord didn't say anything that day. He paid me a tribute and asked me to go back and tell the great King Uba that he had nothing to do with the two Irish kings (plus Yinvar). I admire them very much and hope to find a suitable opportunity to coexist peacefully."
Oran did not take Halfdan seriously, and even gave a horse as a gift before leaving. All this was remembered by Halfdan's men, and they came back to tell the truth.
Uba and Halfdan are both vying for dominance of this army.
Halfdan was given the command because of his age and seniority.
Army commanders can assign various activities to benefit tribes that are friendly or attached to them.
Since October, Halfdan's unfavorable command has resulted in the loss of nearly a thousand warriors remaining in England.
Even if soldiers from Denmark continue to reinforce, the previous failure cannot be overturned by bad luck.
Ubba wanted to be king of England and have his children rule the land forever, and so did Halfdan.
Even if Oran hadn't done this, the two of them would have had new frictions as time went on.
