A Western fantasy journey that began with Game of Thrones

Before the Dornish envoys arrived at King's Landing, Renly met another person he had not seen for a long time——

Stannis Baratheon, his cheap second brother.

The last time Renly saw Stannis was at his wedding. Five years had passed and he felt that Stannis had changed a lot.

His face became even colder, and his unsmiling appearance looked like a man made of stone. Wearing a simple suit of fur-lined leather armor, he stood under the Iron Throne with his back straight.

The most obvious change is Stannis's forehead. His hair, which was not thick but normal, has now become bald, with only a circle of thin black hair around his head.

He was only in his early thirties and already looked like this, clearly showing signs of premature aging.

When he saw Stannis, he was reporting to Robert on some things related to the Stormlands, and then hurriedly left the Red Keep and headed to the port to learn about the work situation——

This is the Minister of the Sea, and he is in charge of the royal fleet.

So Renly didn't have time to say anything more to him.

But they did have time to chat for a while that night.

"If the lord cannot uphold justice, then what is the need for his existence? Casper Wilder shielded his son and blatantly disobeyed my orders. He must be punished."

In the noisy and lively banquet, the bald middle-aged man sitting on one side of the long table said to Renly: "Robert told me to take care of the overall situation, and I did take care of the overall situation, otherwise I would directly kill Casper Wilder's son. Castrated, not sent to the Great Wall.”

What he was talking about was a dispute with King Robert in the throne room during the day. The specific situation was that the son of the earl of Rainhouse in the Stormlands raped a fisherman girl near Storm's End. After Stannis found out about it, he ran to Rainhouse himself. In Uucheng, the criminals were pulled out and sent to the Great Wall as labor reform prisoners. As a result, the Earl of Yuwucheng protested.

Robert thought this approach was ill-advised, but Stannis felt that he had given some leniency. So in a few words, the situation when the two Baratheons met during the day seemed unhappy.

Emotionally speaking, Renly supports this second brother, but rationally speaking, such a treatment will indeed make the Earl of Rainhouse City feel emotional and may cause variables.

"It's better to imprison him at Storm's End first, and then castrate him after we solve the problem." While chewing a piece of cream cake with a dagger, Renly expressed his own opinion, or it was an afterthought.

"The territory of Rainhouse City is close to the sea. If Earl Cusper Wilder turns against him because of this matter, it will cause some trouble."

"He had seven sons."

Stannis said disapprovingly: "If he really betrays us because of a son, then his oath of allegiance is really not as loud as a fart."

Renly shrugged upon hearing this and said nothing more.

Speaking of which, Lord Casper Wilder had some connection with him. The denture medium he first obtained in his early years was obtained from the son of the earl of Rainhouse - his son was at Storm's End that year. He worked as a trainer, but during the siege of Storm's End, he wanted to betray due to hunger. He was discovered and imprisoned as a "reserve food".

Later, the Onion Knight got a lot of fish to avoid being eaten, but he also died in the cage due to fright sickness.

Therefore, what the cheap second brother in front of me said is not correct, because counting this time, they have already lost two sons to Earl Casper Wilder.

Thoughts were surging in his mind. Renly did not think about it any further, but changed the subject and asked, "Why didn't my Shireen niece come with you?"

"She's too young, Celis won't let her go out."

"After I finish my work here, I'm going to visit her."

"Shireen is cute, you will like her."

…

The two brothers who had been separated for a long time were reminiscing about the past in a low voice. The fat bald king over there did not pay much attention to Stannis, the nominal protagonist of the welcome banquet. Instead, he was happily drinking with a man wearing a red and green feathered cloak. .

The feathered cloak was so colorful that even a normal person would look very fancy, not to mention that the person involved was a black man whose entire body was as black as ink. The contrast in color made this person particularly conspicuous during the banquet, but the nobles participating in the banquet were basically used to this. Because of the existence of the bit, I didn’t look much at it.

The black man is called Jaraba Thor, and he comes from a place called the Summer Islands, which is very far away from Westeros and separated by a sea.

Jaraba Thor was a prince who was expelled from the Summer Islands. He escaped to Westeros a few years ago and received the blessing of the Iron Throne. Because he was unwilling to fail, he always hoped that Robert would send troops to help him regain the territory in the Summer Islands. The right to rule, but it has never been achieved.

However, although he has been unsuccessful, Jalaba Thor has not given up on this idea. In order to suit his liking, he who did not like drinking at first even gradually became a heavy drinker. His drinking capacity is almost the same as that of the Fat King. .

Jalaba Thor was not sure about other aspects. He believed that he had a tacit understanding with the Fat King when it came to drinking. He had participated in banquets several times and always made the other party drink happily, and this was where he considered his hope for success.

However, I don't know what happened today. He had obviously drank so many drinks that he was even starting to feel dizzy, but the other party still looked energetic, as if he was drinking water instead of wine.

At first, Jalaba Thor could still hold on, but then he couldn't hold on anymore. He shook his head and his eyes were blurry. Finally, he couldn't help himself anymore. His body tilted and he fell to the ground with a plop. He was groaning and unconscious.

The people around him laughed loudly. The bald king was very proud of this. Then he dragged another person to continue the drinking contest.

Robert was very happy these two days because he suddenly found that his drinking capacity was getting stronger and stronger. The amount that could make him drunk in the past had no effect at all. And he didn't know why, but he felt that the more he drank, the more energetic he was.

…

Lord Jon Arryn, the Prime Minister on the other side of the banquet, was also thinking about his changes in the past two days.

Frequent work made him, who was old, feel a little overwhelmed in many things. But in the past two days, he found that as long as he sat in a chair to handle official business, he would suddenly become energetic and clear-headed, as if he had driven old age out of his body.

However, when he left his job, this feeling would disappear without a trace, and fatigue would take over again. Such an abrupt change made the old Prime Minister feel very uncomfortable, and he seriously suspected that he was "cursed" by some wizard.

He was alert in his heart, but the old man did not find any clues. At the same time, that special feeling made him gradually indulge in work, and he was not even willing to go back to his room to rest recently.

He also found that his body seemed to be getting healthier because of this...

"Prime Minister, long time no see." A voice interrupted the old man's meditation. Looking up, a handsome short and thin man came into his eyes.

"Is it Petyr." The old man smiled, "Did you come back with Lord Stannis?"

"Yes." The man said respectfully: "Thank you for the cultivation of the Prime Minister."

"You have the ability, I will naturally not be stingy to support you." The old man waved his hand and replied, "Do a good job next time."

"I will not live up to the trust of the Prime Minister." The middle-aged man named Petyr said without hesitation after hearing this, but a hint of sneer flashed in the depths of his eyes when he looked at the old man.
