Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King-Chapter 385: kindness
Chapter 385 Mercy
It wasn't until the servant came to knock on the door to remind the dinner party that the dinner was about to begin that the two climbed out of the bathtub.
Samwell changed his clothes first, and said to Daenerys, whose hair was still tied:
"I'll go to Margaery's side to have a look."
"Um."
Going out and turning a corner, Samwell soon came to Margaery's room.
Pushing open the door, there are five people talking in the room.
Margaery sat in the main seat, with a baby cradle beside her, Duke Mace Tyrell and Lord Leighton Hightower sat on the left, and a couple on the right, the man seemed to be in his forties, With orange hair and black eyes, he should be Earl Paxter's cousin, Sir Desmond Redwyne from Arbor Island.
When this person saw Samwell, he immediately got up and saluted respectfully.
The rest of the people also got up and saluted.
Samwell nodded back, his eyes swept across the faces of Duke of Mace and Earl Layton, thoughtful.
"Sir Desmond." He stepped forward and sat down beside Margaery, and said, "Is Earl Paxter not free to come to the meeting?"
"Cousin is ill, so he sent me here." Sir Desmond explained with a smile, "Cousin is extremely sorry for the conflict that occurred in the Dorne Sea a month ago. There is absolutely no enemy on Qingting Island. mean…"
Samwell interrupted with a sneer:
"Okay, don't talk about such deceitful nonsense. The encounter in Dorne was my fleet that was actively attacked by the Arbor Island fleet. And don't pretend to be innocent, the Redwyne family hates me so much. .”
Sir Desmond hurriedly said:
"That was in the past. Your Majesty, now the Redwyne family is willing to reconcile."
Earl Leighton Hightower smiled and said to help his son-in-law:
"Yes, Your Majesty, we also talked about it just now, and Earl Paxter's conditions are very sincere."
The Duke of Mace wanted to speak, but suddenly remembered his daughter's previous reminder, so he kept silent.
Samwell smiled indifferently, and said:
"Oh? What's the condition, tell me."
"Your Majesty, Master Paxter is willing to bow his knees to you..."
"That's it?"
"We can also help you deal with the Iron Fleet threat."
"How to solve it? If I remember correctly, most of the warships of the Qingting Island Fleet have sunk in the Dorne Sea. Do you still have the strength to fight against the Iron Fleet?"
Sir Desmond was a little embarrassed, but explained:
"Your Majesty, it may not be possible to fight head-on, but we can use other methods. Before the news of our allegiance to you spreads, Lord Paxter will invite Euron Greyjoy, King of the Iron Islands, to the Arbor Island to discuss revenge. Then…"
Sir Desmond made a murderous gesture, showing his intentions clearly.
Samwell laughed and said:
"Will Euron be fooled?"
"I don't think it's a problem." Earl Layton chimed in, "The Arbor Island fleet was almost wiped out, and you forced Lady Olenna to death before. With such a deep hatred, Euron would not doubt Earl Paxter. surrendered to you."
Samwell laughed and said:
"But you did surrender, didn't you?"
Sir Desmond said:
"Your Majesty, the Redwyne family has no unresolved hatred with you, so why don't you show some kindness? And, we will prove our sincerity to you by presenting the head of the King of the Iron Islands."
"I heard that Queen Daenerys also had a golden dragon that was snatched by Euron. Maybe Earl Paxter can help you get it back this time." Earl Layton said again.
Samwell looked at the Weng and his son-in-law who were singing together, feeling extremely bored.
Of course, on the surface, there is nothing missing.
The Redwyne family has been isolated by the river bay, and the Arbor Island fleet has suffered heavy losses, so it is no longer a concern. But the Hightower family has too much influence in the river bend, and their strength is also extremely strong, so Earl Layton's words still have a lot of weight.
It's just a pity, Samwell had already made a plan for Qingting Island in his heart.
How willing to be at the mercy of others at this moment.
And Paxter Redwyne, he would never accept him as his subordinate.
"Your Majesty." Seeing that Samwell was silent, Earl Layton persuaded again, "The king needs to show mercy when necessary, otherwise no one will be willing to surrender from now on."
Hearing this, Samwell snorted softly and said coldly:
"Didn't I give Redwyne a chance? After the deer party rebellion, I didn't show enough kindness? Sir Desmond, didn't the envoy I sent to Arbor Island understand my meaning?"
Sir Desmond was a little embarrassed.
After the death of Lady Olenna, High Court did indeed send someone to Arbor Island to persuade them to surrender, but Earl Paxter, who was furious at the time, refused without hesitation.
They rely on the Qingting Island fleet to separate them from the strait, and they are confident.
But I didn't expect that now, the Stormland actually has such a powerful sea power.
Once the Qingting Island fleet was unable to serve as a guarantee, the Redwyne family immediately panicked.
"Your Majesty..." Sir Desmond was about to continue explaining.
But Samwell interrupted unceremoniously:
"I gave Paxter Redwyne a chance, but he rejected my kindness. Since this is the case, what awaits the Redwyne family is a thunderous blow. Only in this way, no one will dare to squander at will in the future My mercy. Lord Layton, are you right?"
Earl Layton smiled wryly and said:
"Your Majesty, the Redwyne family did go too far before, but now that winter is approaching, you also said that we need to join forces to face the powerful enemy in the north. In that case, why not give them another chance? ?”
Sir Desmond said:
"Yes, Your Majesty, we are willing to help you eradicate the threat of the Iron Fleet. If you can't, you will punish us."
Samwell pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed;
"Okay, then I will give you another chance."
Desmond was overjoyed, and hurriedly said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty Caesar! Our Redwyne family will definitely remember your grace!"
"Don't worry." Samwell waved his hand and said, "In order to help you better deal with the Iron Fleet, and to dispel Euron's vigilance, I will give you a small gift."
Sir Desmond said:
"Your Majesty, we appreciate your kindness, but it is best not to let Euron know about our relationship, otherwise the other party will definitely suspect..."
"When you see my gift, you won't say that." After speaking, Samwell got up and walked out.
Leave a few people looking at each other.
Not long after, Samwell returned again, holding a wooden box in his hand.
Sir Desmond took the wooden box and immediately smelled the **** smell.
He was inexplicably horrified, and asked carefully:
"Your Majesty, this is..." Please visit 𝒇𝐫e𝑒𝔀𝒆𝚋no𝐯𝘦𝘭. c𝑜𝗺
"Open it and have a look." Samwell said with a smile.
Sir Desmond carefully opened the wooden box, and saw a **** head in the box—
The eldest son of Arbor Isle, the head of Horace Redwyne!
Samwell’s deep and cold words came from his ears:
"Now, Euron will no longer doubt your invitation."
Sir Desmond trembled all over, and he didn't know whether it was out of fear or anger.
"Your Majesty! You do this..."
"It's only fair for me to do this." Samwell interrupted coldly, "This is the punishment for your kindness before you rejected me. As for the kindness this time, whether to accept or reject it is up to you to decide."
Sir Desmond froze in place, as if he had become a stone statue.
Earl Layton sighed secretly and didn't say any more.
