Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

When Ed Stark, the Duke of the North, walked into the hall, he saw that it was already full of people.

King Robert sat gravely at the end of the hall, and Queen Cersei stood beside him.

She was wearing a crimson long-sleeved dress, her golden hair was covered by a long blue stone hairnet, and she wore a haughty and indifferent mask on her face. Her green eyes were fixed on Stark who was coming in from the door. father and daughter.

Prince Joffrey stood beside the queen, one arm covered with white bandages, and the expression on his face was equally fierce and resentful.

Duke Eddard looked around, looking for friendly faces, but unfortunately, except for a few of his own retainers, there were very few of them. Earl Raymond Darry was expressionless, Duke Renly smiled half-smile, and Ser Barristan looked stern... As for the members of the Lannister family, they are naturally full of hostility.

At this time, Duke Ed regretted that he had not followed the advice of the Baron Caesar.

It should have been done privately with Robert, it wasn't such a big deal.

But Duke Ed still had some luck in his heart, after all, he and the king were as close as brothers.

He trusted Robert not to be too hard on his daughter.

So he said:

"Your Majesty, are you trying to judge my daughter?"

Queen Cersei spoke first: "Ed Stark, how dare you speak to the king in such a tone!"

...

Samwell did not follow Duke Ed into the hall. He had already guessed the following plot, but he didn't want to watch how honest people were bullied again.

Walking casually in the inner court, Samwell saw the figure of Sansa Stark.

The eldest daughter of the Duke of the North was wearing a velvet dress, her long maroon hair was loose on her shoulders, and she was wearing a wreath of flowers on her right wrist. She was squatting on the ground and feeding a little wolf.

Unlike Arya, who is eccentric and mischievous, Sansa is a standard lady, and because she inherited the exquisite cheekbones and clear blue eyes of the Tully family, Sansa is also more beautiful.

At only thirteen years old, she has a slender and soft figure, already very feminine.

Samwell walked over: "Your sister is on trial, don't you go in and have a look?"

Sansa was in a daze, and didn't notice that someone was approaching, and was startled when she heard the sound.

She got up quickly, and when she saw the person coming, she remembered that this was one of the nobles of the River Bend who came to greet Duke Renly, by the way, it was Caesar. She was impressed by the baron who dared to tease the king in his face.

The girl brushed back the messy hair around her ears, then pulled up the hem of her skirt, performed a standard etiquette, and said:

"Lord Caesar, I..."

She suddenly didn't know how to answer this question.

In fact, she was also worried about Arya, but she didn't dare to go in and face her sister.

Sansa felt sorry for her sister for accusing her sister of speaking ill of the queen.

At that time, she actually thought about whether to help her younger sister to hide it - her younger sister liked to cause trouble since she was a child, and it was not the first time she helped her younger sister to hide it.

But facing the eyes of her fiancé, Prince Joffrey, Sansa dared not lie.

It's all Arya's fault!

She's always messing things up!

Sansa felt aggrieved and angry, and at this moment, guilt welled up in her heart, and she almost shed tears.

Samwell realized the girl's embarrassment, so he pointed to the little wolf and asked:

"Is it called a lady?"

"Yes." Sansa breathed a sigh of relief.

Samwell also squatted down: "Can I touch it?"

"Yes, the lady is very good, she never bites."

Samwell wanted to say that he was not Joffrey's idiot who would be bitten by such a little wolf, but considering that the other party was Joffrey's fiancée after all, he didn't say it.

He stretched out his hand and stroked the little wolf's head lightly.

The soft wolf fur glides over the palm like satin.

The lady was really well-behaved, letting Samwell masturbate casually, and sticking out her tongue to lick his palm from time to time.

"Lord Caesar..." Sansa couldn't hold back after all, and asked, "Do you think my sister will be fine?"

"What's the matter? It's just two children fighting, not to mention, the king and your father have such a good relationship." Samwell comforted.

But there was one more sentence he didn't say.

Arya's all right, but not your lady wolf.

Sansa finally felt relieved after hearing the words, and her complexion improved a lot, and she began to tell Samwell all kinds of interesting things about her little wolf.

And at this moment, a group of people suddenly poured out of the hall.

The leader is Duke Ed.

I saw him walking towards Sansa with a gloomy face.

"Father..." It was the first time Sansa saw her father's face look so ugly, and her heart was in her throat for a moment.

Then, she sees her crying sister Arya again:

"Don't! Don't! Don't kill the lady! It wasn't there! It wasn't there!"

Sansa suddenly felt dizzy, as if the world was collapsing.

"Father, are they going to kill the lady?"

Duke Ed glanced at his eldest daughter, but didn't know how to answer.

Sansa was even more frightened. She quickly hugged her father's arm and begged:

"No, no, father, a lady never bites! Please, father, don't..."

Duke Ed looked back at the king who was walking out, and begged again:

"Robert, you can't let this wolf go?"

Queen Cersei smiled triumphantly and shouted: "Lord Ed, Joffrey's injury must be explained. Since that wolf has escaped, let this one replace it."

Duke Ed ignored the queen, he stared into the king's eyes, making the last effort:

"Robert..."

It's a pity that the king no longer has the patience to continue arguing: "Okay, Ed, this matter is over, the direwolf is wild and hard to change, and it may hurt your daughter one day. Give them a dog .”

"Robert," Lord Eddard said loudly, "for the sake of our long friendship, and for my sister's sake, don't do it."

Hearing Duke Eddard talking about his sister, Queen Cersei screamed like a cat whose tail was stepped on:

"Robert! Don't you dare kill a beast! What kind of king are you!"

"Shut up! Shut up, everyone!" roared Robert, losing his patience. "Kill that wolf, that's all!"

Sansa burst into sobs, shaking her father's arm, begging for help.

Duke Ed suddenly felt an unprecedented exhaustion. He hugged his two daughters tightly, and then looked at the king in front of him:

"Then you do it yourself, Robert. He who pronounces the sentence of death must do it himself with the sword!"

Robert stared blankly at Ed, and finally turned away without saying a word.

Cersei smiled brightly, and couldn't wait to say: "Sandor, go and peel off its skin, I will use it to make a bed!"

"No." Duke Ed said coldly, "If it must die, I will do it myself."

Cersei narrowed her eyes: "Ed Stark, what trick are you trying to play?"

Duke Ed's tone was cold and sad: "The direwolves are the coat of arms of the Stark family, and I will never allow them to die at the hands of the butcher."

His eyes were burning with rage, and he strode towards the direwolf amidst the mournful cries of his daughters.

But just as he was about to kill the little wolf himself, he found it suddenly jumped out.

"Stop it!" Duke Ed said.

The northern guards stepped forward hesitantly.

"Don't let it get away!" Cersei yelled.

The guards of the Lannister family took the initiative and quickly surrounded them.

The direwolf was erratic, and suddenly turned sharply in Cersei's direction.

"Protect the queen!"

The guards of the Lannister family rushed to protect the queen.

But the direwolf immediately turned around and rushed towards the gate of the castle. The guards couldn't react in time, and they were immediately rushed out of the encirclement by it.

Only then did everyone realize that they had been tricked by a wolf.

When the guards caught up again, the direwolf had already rushed out of the gate.

And it cleverly rushed towards the direction where there were more guards in the northern border. In fact, those guards in the northern border could have stopped it at that time, but they tacitly slowed down.

"Follow me! Come after me!" Cersei yelled angrily. "Go after that damned wolf!"

The guards got on their horses one after another and chased him out.

The two young ladies of the Stark family were crying and laughing and jumping and jumping now, both celebrating the wolf's escape and worrying that he would be caught up again.

And Duke Ed was stunned for a while.

He found that the behavior of the wolf just now was very strange.

First of all, 'Lady' has always been the most well-behaved wolf and never runs away. Moreover, its behavior of teasing the guards of the Lannister family and deliberately rushing towards the guards of the northern border just now is really not like a wild beast. Some wisdom.

Could it be the blessing of the old gods?

Not the Old Gods, of course, but Samwell.

He tried to control the direwolf just now by using the method of controlling the falcon, and found that he actually let his consciousness enter the body of the 'lady'.

Then he manipulated the direwolf decisively and successfully escaped from the castle.

Samwell rubbed his sour and swollen head and let out a sigh of relief.

Finally, the queen was not allowed to succeed.

But even if he successfully helped the direwolf escape the bad luck, Samwell was not too happy.

Because he has seen Ed Stark clearly, this person is really as honest and upright as in the original book, and it can even be said to be stupid.

He had thought of a backup plan before, which was to reveal to Ed Stark that "Littlefinger" Petyr Baelish and his secret lover, Lady Lysa, murdered Duke Jon Arryn .

But now, he has decided to completely abandon this plan.

According to Duke Ed's temperament, if Samwell really did this, he would definitely get a question from the Duke of the North—

What about the evidence?

Samwell really has no real evidence.

Then, the upright and staid Duke of the North will definitely wonder if he is deliberately slandering Jon Arryn's widow.

You know, Lysa Tully is not only the widow of the adoptive father of the Duke of the North, but also his wife's sister.

With these two relationships, would Ed Stark be more willing to believe the accusations of a strange Baron of Eagle Mouth?

Not close to each other.

Taking a step back, even if Samwell really tried his best to make Ed Stark believe in him, he might not be able to rely on the Duke of the North to make a comeback.

You know, in the original book, Duke Eddard actually ran to confront Cersei after learning the ironclad evidence of Queen Cersei's derailment, and persuaded her to run away quickly with her children on the grounds that she didn't want to kill women and children...

This kind of intelligent extinguishing operation deserves to be played to death.

It's not that you shouldn't stick to your glory, but that when facing conspirators, you must be more vicious than them in order to win and protect your own glory.

Therefore, Samwell understands that Ed Stark can continue to make friends, but he must not hand over the real chips to him.

Fortunately, Samwell has also made other preparations. He has been in King's Landing for so many days. In addition to designing Hopper Redwin and Geraldine, he is also preparing a big gift for "Littlefinger". .

As for Ed Stark, Samwell can help him within his ability, but he will never regard him as a reliance.

This wolf from the North was not a natural fit for Game of Thrones.

I don't know if I can escape the fate of being decapitated in the original book.

The original plot has inertia, and the protagonist has just intervened. It is impossible to change beyond recognition all at once. Next, we will return to King’s Landing. Because of new contradictions, the plot will change more and more. Please be patient.
