Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

The representative of Stannis' side is Lord Montford Velaryon of Tidehead Island, who is considered the core figure on Stannis' side.

The Velaryon family was once a close confidant of the Targaryen family. The two sides had been married to each other for a long time, and both sides were of ancient Valyrian blood.

In order to ensure his family's ability to control dragons, Targaryen regarded Velaryon as a reserve blood bank.

But with the Dance of the Blood Dragons, a major event that changed the history of the entire Targaryen dynasty, the Velaryon family was no longer glorious, and slowly lost its once decisive power on the strait.

They grew further and further away from their former close comrades-in-arms, the Targaryen family, and finally chose to betray them when the Targaryen dynasty fell.

Stannis became the Duke of Dragonstone and acted as the agent for all military forces in Westeros on the Strait. Of course, Tidehead Island became his command. When he summoned the vassals on Dragonstone, Velaryon was also the first A responsive one.

As Stannis attacked along the way, although he did not lose the battle, Lord Montford Velaryon became more and more worried.

The reason is very simple. There are too few forces on their side. The number of soldiers is only more than 10,000, and that's it, no more.

This kind of war potential can be seen at the bottom, that is, Stannis has never lost. If he loses once, he should have returned to Dragonstone to lick his wounds long ago. It is impossible to occupy the throne as he does now.

Lord Velaryon once suggested that Stannis leave a fleet on Dragonstone to prevent anyone from raiding Stannis's lair.

But how can Stannis's stubborn character be something he can change?

There was no other way. Montford could only take the entire fleet and soldiers of Tidehead Island, and broke into King's Landing with Stannis, and then was surrounded by Renly's army in the Red Keep.

When something happened on Dragonstone, he, one of the great nobles under Stannis, had no choice but to negotiate with Renly. He had no choice but to deal with such a lord.

Since the two sides reached a de facto truce agreement on the front lines, Montford led four great nobles under Stannis and successfully reached Renly Baratheon in St. Baelor's Cathedral.

There is no need to be surprised, because the nobles in this area are all acquaintances, and Montford Velaryon's face is the best pass. If both sides were not their own masters now, they would be laughing and drinking at this moment.

In the main hall of St. Belle's Cathedral, reflected by the stained glass, the gorgeous relief paintings on the walls gave off a strange feeling of luxury but antiquity.

King Renly Baratheon, wearing a huge golden antlered crown and dark green robes, sat on the high seat that originally belonged to the High Bishop, quietly waiting for the guests from his brother.

Half of the sunlight hit his body, making him appear calm and profound.

When Montford Velaryon walked into the Great Sept of Baelor and saw Renly Baratheon sitting high up, his steps slowed down.

He had met Renly before. Renly was the social master of the Baratheon family. Montford Velaryon and Renly maintained a very good personal relationship.

In his impression, Renly is a very optimistic person who does not pay attention to small details. The overall feeling is like a green leaf in spring.

But now, the person sitting on the high platform made him feel a strong sense of fatigue. Between the light and darkness, there was an almost suffocating silence.

After a long time, Montford Velaryon heard Renly's somewhat hoarse voice:

"It's been a long time. Alas, Montford, you are here on behalf of my brother. What on earth do you want to tell me?"

The tone was calm, but the calmer it was, the more something felt wrong to Montford.

It wasn't that he was worried about Renly. They all belonged to the Clay Bodhisattva across the river now, so they had no time to care about others.

However, he had to understand why Renly became like this, so that he could perform better in the subsequent negotiations.

Now that he was in Renly's territory, calling him Lord Renly was obviously seeking death, so Montford Velaryon, who had a flexible bottom line, immediately thought of his own title.

"Your Majesty, it's been a long time indeed. I remember the last time we met was at His Majesty Robert's tourney in King's Landing. It's been many years."

A faint smile with a hint of memory appeared on the face hidden in the shadows, but Montford Velaryon couldn't see it.

"Yes, but I really didn't expect that it would be like this when we meet again. My brother has returned to the embrace of the gods. Otherwise, he would have to beat me."

For some reason, the Earl of Tidehead Island, standing in the light, could hear a bit of meaningless frustration in Renly's words. For just a moment, it seemed to be an illusion.

In fact, he heard it right. Renly Baratheon, a child who lived in midsummer, really couldn't accept this incident.

When he was very young, he was the youngest of the three brothers and the most favored one. Although both brothers had their own shortcomings in character, they generally protected him.

When he grew older, his brother Robert led an army to rebel and eventually won the Iron Throne.

He, who was originally the third young master of the Baratheon family, became the third young master of the entire kingdom.

He was named Duke of Storm's End and gained the allegiance of almost all the Stormlands nobles.

After that, he stayed in King's Landing and became the king's minister of justice, and with his personal charm, he has been living in the praise of others.

And in this war, he almost effortlessly pulled up the largest army in the Seven Kingdoms and advanced all the way. Now he is only one step away from the Red Castle.

But at this time, the Tyrell family made some small tricks behind his back, which caused a rift between him and Tyrell and the nobles of the Stormlands.

What aggrieved Renly the most was that no matter how he dealt with this matter, it was not good for him.

Stannis lost his only heir, the Tarth family was easily fooled and lost the family fiefdom, and Renly was considered cruel or ignorant.

In short, everyone has lost something more or less, and the only one who has won is the Tyrell family, which Renly understands but has never been able to identify.

Because he, Renly Baratheon, needs the Tyrell family's oath of allegiance. If the Tyrell family betrays him at this juncture, it means that Renly's road to becoming king will come to an end.

By that time, Renly's survival was no longer guaranteed.

Renly couldn't accept it, so he chose to support the Tyrell family and bear the infamy. But this, for Renly who felt good about himself, formed a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't overcome.

The original idea of ​​breaking into King's Landing, ascending the Iron Throne, and regaining the old mountains and rivers, somehow, suddenly faded a lot.

Because Renly has realized that if he continues like this, even if he ascends the throne, he will definitely be just a puppet of the Tyrell family and end up making a wedding dress for others.

Renly didn't want this, but he couldn't help it.

He wanted to explain to his brother Stannis that what happened to Celine was not his doing.

It is a naive and pale idea that is destined to have no possibility of realization.

Because now, his brother has regarded him as the culprit who broke the rules in the first place.

If Celine cannot be recovered, there will be no possibility of reconciliation between the two parties, and they will fight to the death.

"Your Majesty, we are here on behalf of His Majesty Stannis to ask you about Princess Celine."

"That was done by pirates. I think His Majesty Renly has made it clear before."

Renly did not speak. The person who answered Montford was Mace Tyrell, Duke of Highgarden, who was standing aside.

When he said this, his tone was urgent, as if he was rushing to answer. After speaking, he glanced at Renly who was sitting on the high platform.

Montford Velaryon had no good impression of these Tyrells at all, so he responded directly:

"Well, Lord Inflatable Fish, are you a pirate who has the ability to annihilate hundreds of defenders on Dragonstone Island, but doesn't plunder much wealth and only robs Princess Celine? Why didn't I know there were such bandits on the Narrow Sea?"

Being called this title that Mace Tyrell had always hated, the Duke of Highgarden immediately blushed. He pointed at Montford Velaryon with trembling fingers as fat as a carrot and roared:

"I say yes. Believe it or not, Stannis, in short, now that his precious daughter cannot be found, what can you do?"

These words were very boring and did not sound like they were spoken by a powerful duke.

It's so low level.

But it’s not surprising when you think about what the inflatable fish master did.

This obviously rogue statement made Montford Velaryon stunned. He did not know the ins and outs behind this matter.

What do you think of this? Why are the Tyrells so eager to jump out and kill this matter?

In the original discussion among the great nobles, Renly was responsible for this bad thing, so the Tyrell family would definitely not have a supportive attitude on this matter, and would even think of ways to publicize it to make sure Renly's infamy.

They are all playing politics, and no one has a pure heart.

But the performance of Duke Mace Tyrell made people feel that he was eager to let everyone know that Renly did this, but Renly on the high platform said nothing.

Previously, in their private exchanges, Montford Velaryon had told several people involved in this negotiation that, to be fair, he did not quite believe that Renly would do this.

Because as a child who grew up smelling flowers and drinking fine wine, Renly did not have to bear family responsibilities, so to a certain extent, he was the one who was most poisoned by the spirit of chivalry.

It seems that there is no bottom line, but in fact, Renly has a higher moral bottom line than anyone else.

Thinking of the strange behavior of Renly and Mace Tyrell, Montford Velaryon suddenly came up with an idea:

Could this really not be done by Renly?

He turned to the high platform, his body half hidden in the shadows. King Renly, caressed his chest and bowed, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty Renly, as the envoy of His Majesty Stannis, I hope to have a chat with you alone. After all, I don't like the presence of some people. It's too noisy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Cathedral of Baelor became so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

Everyone's eyes were turned to Renly Baratheon, who had never expressed his attitude.

After a long time, a faint voice fell lightly from the shadows.

He said:

"good."
