Game of Thrones: From Lord Elden to Young Wolf
Chapter 74: The contents of the bag fall out
Catelin Stark has been away from Riverrun for some time. She will go to the Stormlands on behalf of her son to negotiate with the new King Renly.
The news of Robb's consecutive victories made Catelyn feel a little relieved, but the mother's worries about her son will never disappear.
In her life, it seems that she has always been waiting.
Her previous fiancé, Brandon, the eldest son of the Stark family, went to King's Landing and was killed by the Mad King.
Her husband Ned rode to the battlefield on their wedding night, leaving her and the child in her belly waiting.
Now, her son Robb has gone to the battlefield again for various reasons, fighting with other forces.
But this time is a little different from before.
She doesn't have to stay alone in the back, waiting for news from the front, but she can't do anything.
Now she can help her son do what she can.
Doing things is a good way to kill time. There is no time to think about it, which will make her mood more stable.
Looking at the fortress getting closer and closer, Catelyn was thinking: "Stormland, I haven't seen it for a long time..."
"I hope this operation will go smoothly."
As one of the seven ancient kingdoms, Stormland is affected by hurricanes in the ocean and thunderstorms often occur here.
The Stormland got its name from this.
It is difficult to cultivate a developed planting industry in bad weather, but like the North, this environment can cultivate elite soldiers.
Renly Baratheon is the third brother of the former King Robert Baratheon. Because his brother became the King of the Hammer, he inherited his brother's original title and became the lord of Storm's End and the guardian of Stormland.
From a legal point of view, after Robert's death, if Joffrey is not Robert's biological son, then he has the opportunity to ascend the Iron Throne and become the new king.
Renly is a pretty good person. Many people in Stormland obey him. When he raised his arm, the lords of Stormland also responded.
In addition, Highgarden in the west wanted to be a relative of the king to expand his family's power.
Renly and Highgarden hit it off, and the two sides held a grand wedding and completed a political marriage.
The two powerful principalities became independent, and Renly became the strongest force in the entire Westeros continent.
He had 100,000 elite soldiers!
With the support of Highgarden, he could afford the food supply for these 100,000 elite soldiers!
If nothing unexpected happened, King's Landing would have been Renly's.
——
Catelyn was originally going to Highgarden to discuss the marriage, and after hearing the news on the way, she rushed to Storm's End.
Although the hope was slim, she still hoped to persuade Renly to join forces with the North to kill King's Landing and rescue her daughter.
At this time, she didn't know that Robb had rescued her daughter.
When she arrived at Storm's End and received a message from a raven, she learned that Robb had rescued Sansa.
After arriving at Storm's End, she was unexpectedly ignored.
The king had only one request: surrender.
In Renly's view, Robb's self-proclaimed king was no different from treason.
But Catelyn's status is noble, she represents the North outside, which is a huge force that no one wants to offend now.
Catelyn stayed in Storm's End for a few days and participated in a tournament. She saw a female rider kill all the men in the tournament and even the Knight of Flowers in Highgarden was beaten without any chance to fight back.
"Beauty" Brienne, this is the most powerful woman Catelyn has ever seen.
When Catelyn was about to leave, she was going to enter Renly's reception room for the last time and make another attempt.
Catelyn persuaded: "Your Majesty, why don't you want to have another ally?"
Renly laughed, and he was followed by a personal guard, who was the champion of the tournament just now, the female knight Brienne.
"Madam, you should know how chaotic the Westeros continent is now." Renly was about to put on his armor, "Now is not the time to negotiate, now is the time to show force."
Catelyn knew that this was a power struggle between the two kings, and she could not reconcile, so she could only sigh and prepare to leave.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew open the door. The wind was a bit biting and had a very strange feeling, which made Catelyn's back cold.
She felt that she seemed to see something moving in, but when she turned around, only the king's shadow was reflected on the silk tarpaulin, swaying and changing.
Renly didn't notice anything unusual. He was wearing exquisite armor, with a dagger and a long sword tied around his waist.
The beautiful Brienne knelt on the ground to help him put on his clothes.
Catelyn's eyes suddenly widened. She saw that Renly's shadow seemed to be moving. Obviously, his sword was still tied around his waist, but the shadow's sword was raised at a strange angle.
"Your Majesty, you..." Catelyn's words stopped abruptly, because everything was over.
"It's so cold..." Renly stood there blankly, muttering in a subtle and confused tone.
The next second, the steel plate at his throat was gently cut open like cotton cloth, cut open by a non-existent shadow sword. He only had time to let out a small and rough gasp before the gushing blood blocked his throat.
Death was like a gust of sea breeze that swept in through the window, blew out the candle of life, and disappeared into thin air.
It all happened so fast that the two women at the scene only had time to realize one thing: Renly was dead.
"No!!!!"
Brienne, who was still helping Renly put on his armor, was instantly swallowed by sadness. She couldn't accept this fact.
On the day when she was knighted by her lover, he died in her arms.
How cruel is this?
She was tall and strong, more manly than men, but she was crowned with the title of beauty, and the ridicule was beyond words.
Only Renly inadvertently brought her a trace of equality and dignity when she was a child.
So she regarded Renly as her beloved, and even though she could not be his wife, she was determined to serve him for life.
Now, everything was shattered by the dream.
Brienne's voice quickly attracted the guards outside, and they rushed in with weapons.
The first thing they saw was Renly covered in blood, falling in Brienne's arms.
The king is dead? !
Who else can lead them to start an army now?
It must be this new ugly woman who did it!
Blood and anger instantly filled their minds, and they looked for weapons to kill Brienne, the king slayer.
"You vicious woman! Put him down, you abominable thing!"
"Brienne, by the gods, why is this happening?"
"You will pay with your life! You will pay with your life for the king!"
Brienne raised her head from the king's body in a daze: "I... I..."
Catelin took a step forward and grabbed her arm: "Leave here first! Avenge Renly later!"
"Revenge?" Brienne was confused at first, muttering these two words, and then her eyes became firm.
Revenge!
