Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

Samwell was walking in the dark corridors of the Red Keep, thinking about what Petyr Baelish said just now.

In fact, from Petyr's point of view, Samwell is considered "one of his own\

,"After all, the two shared a "little secret".

Of course, in Petyr's eyes, "one of our own" should be sold if necessary.

But now, as Samwell is a "rookie" who just arrived in King's Landing, Petyr will definitely try to win him over first, and it is estimated that he will give Samwell some small favors, so that Samwell will wholeheartedly charge for him.

But it was absolutely impossible for Petyr to guess that Samwell had been aware of his whole plot and knew that he was the real murderer of Lord Jon Arryn.

This lack of information is Samwell's biggest advantage today.

He must use this advantage as much as possible to deal with the most ambitious schemer in Game of Thrones.

This is also the primary purpose of his visit to King's Landing this time.

This is not only to avenge being manipulated by him as a pawn, but also a decision made by Samwell after careful consideration.

Littlefinger's goal is the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, so he can fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the situation.

But this is not what Samwell wants to see—at least not what he wants to see now.

Although chaos is an opportunity for every ambitious person, if you want to fish in troubled waters and even climb up, you must have enough strength to support it.

And now Samwell seems to lack confidence.

The time he came out to open up was too short, the castles in the territory hadn't been fully built, the number of troops was not large enough, the attribute panel also needed time to upgrade, and the territory of the Dane family, he hadn't fully controlled it yet.

In short, he needs time.

Originally, his time was tight enough, but Littlefinger was still fanning the flames, forcing Jon Arryn to die a year earlier.

Doesn't this mean that Samwell lost another year of farming development time?

Although Samwell also wanted chaos, what he wanted was controllable and small-scale chaos, so that he could have room to display and grab enough benefits.

Like the previous battle of Starfall City, it was perfect.

But if an all-out war of the scale of the War of the Five Kings breaks out, with Samwell's current strength, he can only follow the Hewan army to fight soy sauce.

At that time, no matter how brave he is in the battle, the territory and interests will belong to Mr. Inflatable Fish, and at most he will get some flashy "glory".

This kind of loss-making business cannot be done.

So when he came to King's Landing this time, besides taking revenge on Littlefinger, he also wanted to try his best to prevent the situation of the Seven Kingdoms from completely collapsing in a short period of time.

Of course, Samwell didn't come to be an envoy of peace. He was also a careerist himself, but a cautious careerist.

He knew that if he wanted to rise quickly, he also needed chaos—chaos within a controllable range.

For example, the Iron Throne crusade against Dorne, such chaos is very appropriate.

Samwell now has a foothold in the west of Dorne, and he already has the basis for plotting against Dorne.

But he also knows how difficult it is for outsiders to conquer Dorne. The Martell family saying "unyielding, unyielding, and unyielding" is not just a joke.

Therefore, he must use external forces to weaken Donne as much as possible.

To provoke the Iron Throne to deal with Dorne, the dirty water of Jon Arryn's death must be poured on the "Red Viper".

As for saying that this is unfair to the "Red Viper"... Samwell is not interested in helping his enemies clear the suspicion, and the "Red Viper" is not an innocent little white rabbit, and he will definitely become the leader of many people he conquers in the future. A stumbling block in the way of grace, so it is best to get rid of it.

However, in this way, Samwell's methods of dealing with "Littlefinger" will be limited. After all, the truth about Jon's death cannot be used to deal with this person. .

In fact, Samwell already had a rough plan, but he still needed to meet several important people in it.

For example, the incoming Hand of the King, Duke Eddard Stark, this person is very important to Samwell's plan, he must confirm whether this person's behavior style is really as upright as in the original book to the point of rigidity.

Oh, by the way, besides that, there was an annoying little fly—Hopper Redwyne, Samwell was going to set up a trap and slap him to death.

While thinking about it, Samwell had come to the garden, and found Margaery talking and laughing with Natalie.

The heads of the two girls were almost together, and their attitudes were extremely intimate. I am afraid that no one would believe that they are sisters.

Beside them sat two brothers from the Redwyne family.

Horace didn't hang his arms this time, but he saw the sweat on his forehead and his twitching cheeks from time to time, well, he probably regretted it now, for the sake of demeanor, he didn't want his arms, it was really cruel.

Huo Bo stretched his neck long, and seemed to want to join the conversation between the two ladies, but he couldn't find a point of entry, and his anxiety was written all over his face.

Sitting beside the two brothers was Mark Mullendall. The eldest son of the Highland City looked leisurely, drinking tea and feeding the monkey on his shoulder with nuts.

"Shan...Master Caesar." Natalie was the first to notice Samwell's approach. She wanted to run over to greet her, but she sat down quickly, as if she saw a lot of people and began to pay attention to restraint. changed to a formal one.

"Sam! Come and sit down!" Margaery was still so enthusiastic, and her smile was still so sweet, like a summer rose.

Samwell stepped forward to greet everyone one by one, then sat down beside Natalie and asked:

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about your flaming sword." Margaery said with a smile, "It turns out to be the inherited great sword [Dawn] of the Dane family! This is the first time I've heard that someone has used the inherited great sword as collateral."

Seeing Margaery's narrow gaze, Samwell couldn't help but blush, but he still pretended to be calm and said:

"The main reason is that no one will use that sword in Starfall City, so I will use it first to avoid wasting it."

"That's right." Natalie also nodded repeatedly, and chimed in, "Sam is really good with that sword, it can make the sword catch fire."

"What's so strange about the fire sword?" Hopper couldn't help but said, "The red-robed monks in the free trade cities on the other side of the narrow sea know how to do this. They smear wildfire or similar combustibles on the sword, and then ignite it to intimidate the enemy. , In fact, the power is average."

Samwell was about to speak when he heard a male voice from a distance:

"It's really average. I once personally killed a red-robed monk who used a fire sword. That guy's sword broke when it burned to the end."

When everyone turned their heads, they saw three figures walking over.

The person in the lead was none other than Princess Arianne, followed by "Dark Star" Jelo Dayne, and Damon Shad, the illegitimate son of God's Grace City.

These two Dorne knights were also captured by the people of the Riverbend during the Battle of Starfall, but they were later redeemed by the Martell family.

Samwell was quite impressed with the "Dark Star" with black and silver hair.

Because this person is the eldest son of Viscount Palong of Gaoyin City, he also contributed the most in the battle of Starfall City last time, and of course suffered the heaviest loss as a result.

Not only did she fail to inherit Starfall City, she even lost her hometown, Gaoyin City—after Natalie officially became the Earl of Starfall City, she conferred Gaoyin City to Hughes Dane.

Therefore, without thinking about it, this Geraldine must be full of hatred at this time.

It was this person who spoke just now.

"Dornish people, why don't you pray in the Great Sept of Baelor, what are you doing here?" Horace shouted loudly, as if blaming the pain in his arm on the Dornish people.

"Yeah, this is a gathering of people from the River Bend, and you are not welcome." Mark Mullendall also continued.

The people of the Reach have always been united when it comes to dealing with the Dornish.

Samwell felt that he should also be more gregarious, so he also answered:

"Is it because the gods are unwilling to respond to your confession, so you ran out to find other ways to escape?"

"Hahaha……"

Amidst the roar of laughter, the fiery Princess Arianne was rarely angry, and the smile on her face was as bright as before, as if she hadn't heard the ridicule from the people in the river bend at all.

"Everyone, whether my uncle is guilty or not will have to wait for His Majesty to personally judge. As for our coming this time, we are adhering to the last wish of Duke Jon Arryn before he died—peace."

Hearing that Princess Arianne moved Duke Jon out, the people of the Riverbend couldn't laugh anymore.

Samwell looked at the princess of Dorne who seemed to be a different person in front of him, feeling a little surprised.

This is a beating, a big change in personality?

"Your Royal Highness." Margaret stood up abruptly, and said politely, "We in Hewan have always loved peace, but peace is never just spoken. How do you, Donne, prove your sincerity?"

"The Martell family has recognized Earl Natalie's rule over Starfall City. This is our greatest sincerity. In addition, Sir Gerald, as a member of the Dane family, is now willing to pledge his allegiance to Miss Natalie. "

As soon as Princess Arianne finished speaking, Jero Dayne came to Natalie and knelt down, saying loudly:

"Dear Miss Natalie Dane, I, Gerald Dane, would like to offer you my unparalleled loyalty."

Natalie was a little surprised, but she had experience now, unlike before when she always went to see Samwell or her mother first when encountering such a situation.

"I accept your allegiance."

Samwell watched from the side, but frowned.

It seems that the Martell family still didn't give up on Starfall City, they talked about peace, but ended up doing things like mixing sand.

However, Gero's surname is Dane after all, and Natalie is really not easy to refuse when he swears allegiance in public.

As for who this guy is loyal to, it's hard to say.

Samwell felt that he wanted to remind Natalie privately later to be on guard against this person.

After the allegiance ceremony ended, Gero did not get up immediately, but took out a pink rose from his bosom and sent it to Natalie:

"Miss Natalie, I am dazzled by your beauty. This rose represents my heart and I give it to you."

Now Samwell frowned even tighter.

Good guy, it's not just mixed with sand, this is to pick peaches directly!

Natalie was really at a loss this time, she didn't want to accept the rose in her heart, but she was embarrassed to reject a knight who had just sworn allegiance to her.

Just then, Hope Redwyne spoke:

"Sir Gerald, don't you see that Miss Natalie doesn't like your roses? Put the flowers away soon."

Zero immediately narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Hooper.

Hopper looked at him without flinching.

The strong smell of gunpowder diffused.

Samwell watched this scene from the side, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Look, the scapegoat is here.

You can swatt the flies.
