Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King
Chapter 77 Olenna's Vigilance
The twilight of the morning light sprinkled in the garden full of golden roses, and the dewdrops on the petals shone with crystal luster, like pure crystals, embellishing this elegant garden like a fairyland.
Several beautiful larks walked among the treetops, flew over the vibrant flowers, and sang moving melodies.
However, such a beautiful morning scene was broken by a rude voice:
"Damn Samwell! He can't calm down, he's causing me trouble!"
Governor of the Reach, Warden of the South, Duke of Highgarden, Mace Tyrell has a big belly, waving a letter with his thick arms, and his fat face is full of anger.
"Before I recruited hundreds of laborers from my dock without saying hello, I didn't bother with him. Last time he wanted the refugees from Gaoting, I didn't make things difficult for him for the sake of my precious daughter. This time, He actually provoked Starfall City! He still wants me to send troops to support him? He treats me like..."
"Father, have some tea." Margaery Tyrell brought the silver teacup to Duke Mace's lips, just enough to keep his remaining complaints in his stomach.
The Duke of Metz took the teacup, and couldn't lose his temper when faced with his daughter's bright smiling face, so he had to be pulled by her to sit down on the chair.
After taking a sip of tea, Duke Metz said to Mrs. Olenna in front of him again:
"Mother, have you read the letter? Do you think this Samwell is a troublemaker?"
Mrs. Olenna folded her hands in her sleeves, staring at the lark outside the pavilion, and said calmly after hearing the words:
"Samwell is indeed a kid who can make a fuss. However, this time I really don't blame him."
"Don't blame him?"
The old lady nodded and said: "A few days ago, I just received a message from Black Harbor City that Edric Dane and Alilia Dane died in a hunting accident."
The Duke of Metz was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Mother, what does what you said have anything to do with that kid from Yingzui Island?"
Margaret said at the right time: "These are the last two heirs of the main branch of the Dane family, right? No wonder Starfall City went crazy."
Only then did the Duke of Mace come to his senses, and shouted, "It couldn't have been done by Samwell, could it?"
Olenna rolled her eyes, not wanting to talk to her stupid son anymore.
Margaery poured a cup of tea for her father, and said softly, "Someone must have provoked it on purpose, right?"
Mrs. Olenna smiled at her granddaughter, as if she had finally found some comfort, then turned to her son, and said angrily:
"Master Inflatable Fish, your vassal has sent a letter asking for help, do you think we should send troops to support it?"
The Duke of Mace didn't care about the ridicule in his mother's tone. Anyway, this was not the first time, but he was even more annoyed by Samwell, who made himself a fool, and said:
"His castle hasn't been built yet, so according to the lord's law, Yingzui Island is not an official river bay territory. What reason do I have to start a war? Which vassal would be willing to fight for such a disputed land?" Dornish people desperately?"
Lady Olenna spoke a name: "Randall Tarly."
"Landao?" Duke Metz frowned. "Although Samwell is his son, he was also the son who was deprived of his inheritance rights and kicked out of the house. Do you think he will send troops to fight for Yingzui Island?"
"I don't know." Madam Olenna smiled and said leisurely, "But I really want to know."
"Ah?" Duke Metz was stunned again.
Margaery spoke again at the right time: "Father, grandmother has never believed that Earl Landau really gave up on his son Samwell, so I want to take this opportunity to test it out."
"Oh." Duke Mace nodded, "Okay, then I'll write a letter to tell Randall about it. However, I won't give him any orders. He decides whether to send troops or not."
After speaking, the Duke of Metz stepped forward and kissed the foreheads of his mother and daughter, and then left in a hurry.
Although he loves them very much, Duke Metz feels uncomfortable every time he is alone with them, especially his mother, Lady Olenna. In front of her, Duke Metz feels like a fool.
Margaery sent her father out of the garden, then returned to the gazebo, poured a cup of scented tea for Mrs. Olenna, and asked:
"Grandmother, what if Earl Randyll really doesn't send troops?"
Mrs. Olenna took a sip of scented tea and said lightly: "Then Samwell can only rely on himself."
After finishing speaking, she put down the teacup, reached out and fiddled with the sapphire necklace on the chest of her granddaughter in front of her, and said with a smile:
"Why? Are you reluctant to part with the first knight you canonized?"
"It's a little bit. Sam is actually a very capable pioneer knight." Margaery pressed her clean face against the back of her grandmother's wrinkled hand, and gently rubbed it, "And we have invested so much in this period of time. Many. Todd Flower Knight, a hundred elite soldiers, and thousands of golden dragons... Now that Yingzui Island is about to become a real river bay territory, and it can still produce brandy and silver, I just gave up. What a pity."
Mrs. Olenna gently stroked her granddaughter's cheek, but the words she said were extremely cold:
"A rose in the garden is infected with insects. No matter how beautiful it is, and no matter how much time and energy you have spent on taking care of it, when it is time to remove it, it must be removed, otherwise the insect disease will spread and destroy it. Your whole garden."
Margaery was a little unwilling: "Then try to cure it first."
"This is not a simple bug disease." Mrs. Olenna shook her head and sighed, "You also know that the two heirs of the Dane family died. And the timing of the death is so coincidental, it is obvious that someone saw us The plan in Yingzui Island is to provoke a war.
Although we were originally planning to deal with Dorne when building a territory in Yingzui Island, the timing of the war must not be in the hands of others. Otherwise, we will only be passive everywhere, and even the flowers planted in other places will be affected.
Eagle's Mouth Islet is already a rotten sore exposed to the vulture's eyes, let the Dornish people take this opportunity to goug it out for us. Brandy can be brewed elsewhere, silver, how can we be short of this money. "
Hearing what her grandmother said, Margaery had no choice but to give up.
She thought for a while, and then asked: "Grandma, have you figured out who is behind the scenes this time?"
"There are a few suspicious targets. However, that person is very careful, so I'm not sure." Mrs. Olenna pressed her granddaughter's frown, as if trying to smooth it out, and comforted her with a smile, "You also Don't worry too much. The illegitimate son of Starfall City just wants to gain attention and honor, and won't offend us easily, so even if Samwell loses, he won't have to worry about his life.
At that time, we will pay to redeem him, appease him, and use it elsewhere.
Moreover, it's time for that kid to suffer a bit. Otherwise, I feel that he is about to float into the sky.
You don't know, Paxter wanted him to marry Desmera, but the kid refused. "
Margaery's eyes widened: "He doesn't even like the eldest daughter of Qingting Island? Then who else does he want to marry?"
"Who knows." Madame Olenna snorted softly.
"Grandmother, what if Earl Landau really sent troops to support Yingzui Islet and help Sam defend it?"
"That means Lando Tarly didn't really give up on this son. He might have other plans to drive him out of the house. Before we see his real purpose, we should stop rashly intervening. The mess in Eagle Mouth Island Just leave it to the Tully family, and don't give any more support to Samwell."
Margaery nodded, understanding what her grandmother meant, but then she thought of the last possible development of this matter——Samwell defended Eagle Mouth Island by himself without anyone's help.
But this kind of result is too unbelievable. The Dane family's army is not comparable to the savages. No matter how powerful Samwell is, it is impossible for him to be his opponent.
Margaery immediately put this absurd idea behind her, and secretly prayed to the seven gods, asking them to protect her knight from this war.
