Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

Starfall City.

In the dark and empty tomb underground, only the sound of monks praying echoed.

The clansmen and vassals of the Dayne family gathered here to express their condolences for their young lord and his aunt.

After the monk finished reciting the words, the eight knights stepped forward to put the coffins of Edric and Alilia into the grooves on the stone wall, allowing them to rest here with the ancestors of the Dane family.

At this point, the funeral is over.

The monk left first.

And Earl Beric Dondarrion, who personally brought back the remains of his wife and nephew, left the tomb full of shame without the face of continuing to face the people present.

In addition, some guests who came to watch the ceremony also left one after another.

Only the members of the Dane family and some "Shads" did not move.

Their faces were solemn, but they seemed to be expecting something.

The Earl of Starfall City died without leaving any heirs. What's worse, the main branch of the Dane family is actually dead!

This brings up a serious question - who should inherit the position of Earl of Starfall City?

Although the main branch of the Dane family is extinct, the side branches are still thriving, so they don't worry about having no heirs.

But the problem is that the succession order of the collateral line is a mess at all. No matter how many bachelors who are proficient in heraldry come, I am afraid that they will not be able to sort out the order of succession.

Moreover, there are still many "Shad" in the main branch of the Dane family, especially Urik Shad.

This person is the uncle of the deceased Earl Edric, and he has served as the acting city lord of Starfall City for more than ten years. He has a very high prestige. What he lacks is a surname.

At this moment, in this dark tomb, an undercurrent is brewing.

Finally, one of the oldest family elders walked tremblingly to the front row, facing everyone, said:

"Since everyone is here, why don't we discuss who should inherit the position of Earl of Starfall City..."

"I object!" A loud voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone turned their heads in astonishment, a little surprised, but also took it for granted that it was Urik Shad who spoke.

The most prestigious illegitimate son of Starfall City.

Facing everyone's eyes, Urik Shad came to the front row calmly, his quiet and serious eyes slowly scanned the audience, taking everyone's expressions into his eyes, and then said loudly:

"I don't think it's imperative to negotiate who will inherit the title."

Someone said: "Sir Uric, what do you think is the most urgent task?"

"Of course it's revenge for Earl Edric and Miss Alilia!" Urik said firmly.

The thick and powerful voice caused echoes in the tomb.

"Revenge? But they encountered an accident during a hunt. If you are referring to that wild boar, it must have been chopped up by Earl Bailey long ago. Haha...ha..."

That person's self-satisfied joke was extremely inappropriate, so it only got unanimous glaring from everyone.

Urik also curled his lips sarcastically, and said, "Do you really think this was just an accident?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not!" Urik said firmly, "This is a shameless assassination targeting children and women!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expressions were different, and there were many discussions.

After a while, someone asked:

"Ser Urek, do you know who the murderer is?"

"Of course I know."

"who is it?"

Urik took a deep breath, and said word by word:

"The lord of Yingzui Island, Samwell Caesar!"

This time the discussion was even louder.

"What evidence do you have?"

Urik nodded to the attendant beside him. The attendant immediately turned around and left the tomb. After a while, he returned again, and at the same time dragged a man who was covered in blood and couldn't even walk steadily.

"Who is he?" someone asked.

Urik kicked the man who was lying on the ground: "Boy, let me introduce myself to everyone."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The man who was kicked twitched a few times as if being electrocuted, and quickly said weakly, "I, my name is Jill, and I am under Lord Caesar..."

"What did Samwell Caesar send you to Starfall?"

"Send me..." Jill wanted to say that he was just here to deliver wine, but when he thought of the torture he had suffered before and the threat of that terrible man, he could only tremble and say, "Lord Caesar sent me to monitor Dane." The movement of the family..."

Wow——

Now everyone exploded.

But someone else calmly asked:

"Even if this is the case, it doesn't prove that Samwell Caesar is the real culprit behind the assassination of Earl Edrick and Miss Alleria."

Urik immediately locked the man who asked the question from the crowd——

Ser Gerold Dayne of High Hidden City, known as the Dark Star.

The Dane family in Gaoyin City is a branch of the Dane family in Starfall City, and it is also the most powerful branch of the collateral line.

Although the succession rights of the collateral line are a mess, in the end it must depend on strength to speak. Therefore, the eldest son of Gaoyin City is actually the person who is most likely to inherit the Earl of Starfall City.

Of course, this is under the condition that Urik Shad will not change his surname.

But now, "Dark Star" Zero obviously sensed Urik's ambition, so he jumped out and tried to stop it.

Urik seems to have been prepared for such a question, and answered calmly:

"You should also know that just last month, that Sir Caesar visited Starfall City. Moreover, he also showed me a portrait."

With that said, Urik turned his head to look at the butler Slia.

Slia nodded and confirmed this: "That's right. I was also there at the time. Sir Caesar did take out a portrait and asked about the identity of the person in the painting. But...that painting is Miss Ashara, What does that have to do with it?"

"I thought it was Miss Ashara at the time, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid he drew Miss Alilia!"

Steward Slia frowned, but then nodded and said, "It's possible that the two ladies are somewhat alike."

"That's it!" Urik said decisively, "Samwell Caesar is confirming the appearance of Miss Alilia to me, and he will hand it over to the killer to carry out the task!"

"What kind of evidence is this!" Gero said disdainfully.

"But it is enough to prove that this person has enough suspicions." Urik snorted coldly, "Moreover, he opened up territory in Yingzui Island, which is a real threat to Starfall City! In the future, he will definitely become Dane. Enemy of the family. Ser Gerald, why do you excuse him again and again?"

"I just don't want to slander a knight's reputation for no reason." Gero tried hard to defend.

But he also found that his defense was too weak.

Because no matter what, Samwell Caesar is the enemy of the Dane family, and now it seems that there are certain suspicions.

Under the circumstances that two important figures of the Dane family were assassinated, it would indeed easily arouse public outrage if he defended such people again.

"Of course I won't wrong an innocent knight. However, in order for Earl Edric and Miss Alleria to rest in peace, we must capture Samwell Caesar and let him stand trial!"

As he spoke, Urik pulled out his long sword abruptly and roared, "Who wants to be with me?"

As soon as the words fell, someone strode out: "I am willing!"

"I would too!"

...

Seeing the knights stepping forward one by one, Urik's face was filled with excitement and excitement.

He knew that his own opportunity had finally arrived!
