Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

Everyone left the room.

"How long can he live?" Duke Ed asked.

"It depends on the will of the gods." Pai Xier sighed, "In fact, it is already a miracle that he can persist until now."

"Robert! How is Robert!" Queen Cersei strode forward, holding her son Prince Joffrey by the hand, followed by her brother Jaime Lannister.

Grand Maester Pychel said: "Your Majesty has just made a will, drank the milk of poppies, and fell asleep."

"He made a will?" Queen Cersei suppressed her anger, "Why didn't you call me!"

Several ministers lowered their heads and did not speak.

Duke Ed clearly told himself not to show any strangeness, but he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He took a step forward and asked back:

"Queen, why didn't you accompany you when His Majesty was dying? Do you want us to send someone to invite you?"

This matter is indeed the queen's fault, but Cersei's attitude is still tough:

"Do you want me to stay in that stinking room for seven days and seven nights? Don't take a bath or eat? I've only left for a while, and you guys have made your will. Lord Ed, you really know how to pick your time!"

Duke Ed really didn't want to mess around with this woman. He was worried that he could not control the anger in his heart and let the other party see the clues, so he strode past the queen and said coldly:

"In this case, then go and accompany the king, he is not dead yet."

Cersei was not ready to let him go: "Wait! What about the will? Let me see."

"The will will be read out by the imperial meeting after the king's death." Duke Ed put the parchment scroll behind him, feeling more and more disgusted with the unscrupulous woman in front of him.

Cersei smiled disdainfully, and warned in an arrogant tone: "Okay, Lord Ed, just take that piece of paper and see if it can bring you power."

Duke Ed didn't bother to pay any attention to this woman, so he turned around and left.

"Mother, let's go see father!" Prince Joffrey cried.

Cersei only stared at Duke Ed's leaving back, gritted her teeth secretly, and shook off her son's hand after a while, and said coldly:

"Go and go yourself."

After speaking, the queen strode away without going to the king's bedroom at all.

Duke Ed walked out of Maegor's Tower and stopped the important officials behind him.

He first said to Grand Maester Pychelle:

"Lord Pacelle, Your Majesty still needs to ask you to take more care these few days, and try to... ease his pain."

"I will, Lord Ed."

Then Duke Ed looked at Chief Intelligence Officer Varys again:

"Master Varys, always pay attention to the movement in the city, and report to me immediately if there is anything abnormal."

"Yes, Lord Ed."

Duke Ed looked at the Minister of Justice, Duke Renly, and said:

"Mrs. Lysa still refuses to come to King's Landing. This trial will be postponed for now. We will discuss countermeasures after His Majesty's funeral is over."

Duke Renly seemed to have a different opinion:

"Lord Ed, please go and invite her. If Mrs. Lysa refuses to come, then no one will be able to invite her. In this case, I think it is better to hold a trial directly and convict the 'Red Viper', so that His Majesty Feel free to go."

Duke Ed hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.

Before him came the hideous face and warning words of Queen Cersei.

He felt that he should deal with the queen first and avenge the king. This was the most reassuring way for him to leave.

"Don't worry about it yet." Duke Ed made a decision, "We'll talk about it after the funeral."

Lord Renly shrugged, but did not press on.

Finally, Duke Ed looked at the Minister of Finance Petyr Baelish again: "Lord Petyr, follow me."

The two walked a few steps, but Duke Ed still didn't speak, as if hesitating for something.

"Lord Ed." Petyr took the initiative to say, "If you are worried about the cost of His Majesty's funeral, leave it to me..."

"No." Duke Ed shook his head, and finally expressed his thoughts, "Do you know the commander of the capital garrison?"

"Ser Janos Slynt, of course I understand, we often drink and visit the Women's Branch together." Petyr's gray-green eyes shimmered, "Lord Ed, do you want his help?" ?"

Duke Ed hesitated for a moment. He actually didn't like "Littlefinger" very much. He thought he was too naughty and disgusting, but after thinking about what his wife said before leaving, he nodded and said, "Yes. I'm worried that the king's death will cause chaos. , so you need to make sure he follows my orders."

"That's easy." Petyr snapped his fingers, "That's a greedy guy, as long as you give him enough golden dragons, you can make him do anything."

Duke Ed suddenly lost his affection for Genos, but he also knew that it is better not to easily replace the commander of the capital defense force at this sensitive time, so he held back his anger and asked:

"How many golden dragons do you need?"

Petyr chuckled: "Thirty thousand golden dragons. Ten thousand for Janos Slynt, and ten thousand for his soldiers."

"How about another ten thousand?"

"Of course it's in my pocket." Seeing Duke Ed's anger, Petyr quickly explained, "It's the final payment, the final payment, do you understand! If you give them all at once, will they still obey your orders? Ed Your Excellency, you have no sense of humor."

"The king is dying, tell me about your sense of humor?" Duke Ed said coldly, paused, he seemed hesitant, but still asked, "Can you get thirty thousand golden dragons?"

"Of course." Petyr's lips curled up, "Although there are only mice left in the treasury, I am the Minister of Finance, and I can conjure a golden dragon by snapping my fingers."

Duke Ed was really not in the mood to joke with Li Petyr, and he didn't want to have anything to do with bribery, so he waved his hand and said impatiently:

"Petyr, I leave this matter to you! Make sure that the city's garrison obeys my orders!"

"Leave it on me!" Petyr bowed gracefully, smiling brightly.

—————————

In the room with the doors and windows closed, there was a golden light that could blind people's eyes.

On a hill made of golden dragons, Samwell lay lazily reclining, like a giant dragon guarding a treasure.

Unfortunately, he is not guarding, but devouring.

These golden dragons are also his championship rewards for this tournament.

As one golden dragon after another was sent into Samwell's mouth, his strength attribute continued to rise slowly but firmly.

Samwell has already felt the urgency of the coming rain, so it is naturally impossible to keep these golden dragons. At this time, converting them into strength is the most sensible choice.

While devouring, he was also thinking about the current situation.

"Littlefinger"'s counterattack was indeed beyond Samwell's expectations. This guy is really a master at creating chaos, but fortunately, the situation has not completely lost control.

He could actually guess that "Littlefinger"'s next plan must be to throw the blame for the king's death on the Lannister family. This is actually very easy to do. After all, in the previous actions, the Lannister family really Some telltale feet were exposed, perhaps these telltale feet were the clues deliberately left by "Littlefinger".

In this way, he can lead Duke Ed to become suspicious, and even provoke a dispute between lions and wolves against the Lannister family.

And because "Littlefinger" himself participated in planning the death of the king, he must pretend to help the wolf family, but in fact he will definitely stand on the side of the lion as in the original book.

They even planned to have Duke Eddie die in King's Landing. In this way, the Seven Kingdoms would be in chaos.

Of course, Samwell didn't want "Littlefinger" to succeed. If the Seven Kingdoms fell into chaos at this time, it would do him more harm than good.

He still wanted to bring disaster to Dorne instead of disrupting the entire Seven Kingdoms.

So the best way is to let the "Red Viper" take action as soon as possible.

But this poisonous snake seemed to be a good learner, and it didn't do anything until now, which surprised Samwell.

Is this still the violent "Red Viper"?

Or did this guy become more cautious after suffering a loss in Starfall City last time?

In fact, to destroy Littlefinger's plan, Samwell has several alternatives, but this is the safest and most in line with his interests, and it is his first choice.

It seems that we have to "urge" the poisonous snake.

Of course, you definitely can't go directly to see Prince Oberyn, you can get away with it the first time, and it will be too easy to arouse the other party's suspicion if you go the second time.

Have to think of a different way...

Samwell stuffed the golden dragon into his mouth expressionlessly, while his brain was running fast.

At last the handsome face of Renly Baratheon came into view.

Yes, you can go to Renly!

When Samwell heard that the king made his will, it was actually Duke Renly who was beside him, not Duke Ed.

He immediately realized that there was a problem.

Although Duke Renly is the king's younger brother, the only person Robert really trusts is Ed Stark.

In the original book, Duke Ed also wrote the will for the king.

Although Duke Ed went to Eagle's Nest this time, the king might be worried that the other party would not be able to come back, so he asked his brother to make a will.

But Samwell still felt that it was more likely that Renly Baratheon was up to something.

The king's younger brother may not be able to wait to participate in this game of thrones.

In this way, it gave Samwell an opportunity to take advantage of it...

While stuffing the golden dragon into his mouth continuously, Samwell's brain was also running wildly, and soon, a plan quietly took shape.

Samwell stood up from the pile of gold coins.

He ate for so long just now, and it is estimated that he has eaten nearly 30,000 golden dragons, and the originally magnificent "hill" has shrunk by half.

I don't feel anything in my stomach, maybe it was "digested" directly, even my throat is uncomfortable, and my mouth is full of bitterness.

Fortunately, the strength attribute has been raised to 6.74.

But due to devouring a large number of golden dragons, its effectiveness is also rapidly decaying. Now he has to eat more than two hundred golden dragons to increase his strength by 0.01. This effect really makes Samwell's heart ache.

Calculated at this speed, and considering the attenuation, even if he ate all the remaining nearly 10,000 golden dragons, he might not be able to increase the strength attribute to 7.

So he doesn't plan to eat the remaining golden dragon for now, let's save it for money first. Let's talk later when we have more money.

Although it hurts, the effect is extremely obvious. Now Samwell only feels that his body is full of explosive power, and he can't wait to vent it.

Even if "Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane is in front of him, he dares to fight head-to-head with the opponent.

Samwell took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

Remind yourself that you don't have the strength to act recklessly in King's Landing, and be cautious in everything you do.

Now that Duke Renly has revealed his ambition, he can try to see if this person can be used by him.
