Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

Chapter 209 Xiaohui

After the dinner, everyone dispersed.

Earl Randall, Earl Matus, Sir Aleken Florent, and Samwell turned to a small room.

The maid served tea and left quickly.

This is an intimate meeting, but also an important meeting.

Under the organization of Earl Randall, representatives of forces in the Reach who are dissatisfied with the Lannister family gathered together for the first time, and what they want to discuss will largely determine the future development of the Seven Kingdoms.

Samwell was calm on the surface, but he was unavoidably agitated in his heart.

Although these people actually care more about how the Reach will stand in the next political storm, they have to admit that they will objectively help Samwell marry Margaery.

It has been almost three years since he came to this world. Samwell has grown from a pioneer knight who was kicked out of his home to the point where he is qualified to join this power game.

He proudly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and waited patiently for the bosses to speak first.

"Sam, is Margaery pregnant?" Earl Randall's first words almost made Samwell choke.

The other two people present at the meeting did not change their faces, as if they felt that Earl Landau's question was appropriate.

"Not yet." Samwell calmed down and said in a muffled voice.

Just now he felt that he finally looked like a chess player, but now he feels more like a stallion...

"As soon as possible." Earl Randall urged.

"It's good to be able to plant the seeds." Earl Matus said with a smile, "but we can't pin our hopes on it. From what I know about Mrs. Olenna, if she really doesn't want Margaery to marry Sam , even if I see my granddaughter with a big belly, I will only give you a cup of moon tea."

Samwell knew that moon tea was a herbal tea used for contraception and abortion.

Based on his understanding of Mrs. Olenna, the other party would really do such a thing.

"What's Madam Olenna's attitude now?" Samwell quickly changed the subject, he was always very uncomfortable when several elders talked about his private affairs with Margaery.

"It's hard to say." Earl Matus rubbed the teacup in his hand, slowed down his tone, and seemed to be thinking, "No one can tell the attitude of the 'Queen of Thorns'. But one thing is for sure, she will definitely do it." Choose the most beneficial choice for High Court, even if this choice will hurt the interests of your granddaughter or other nobles in the river.”

"So we can't give the choice to the Tyrell family." Sir Allerken said firmly.

The eldest son of the Florent family should be the person present, apart from Samwell, who least wants to see the Reach fall to the Lannister family.

After all, the Florens family placed a heavy bet on Stannis Baratheon. Once the second child of the Deer family sits on the Iron Throne, they will be able to reap a queen.

"As long as we let Mace Tyrell see that there are enough families in the Reach who are unwilling to submit to Lannister, I believe he will not dare to go against everyone's wishes." Earl Randall said.

"That's right." Count Matus immediately nodded in agreement.

Sir Alleken said rather eagerly: "The key lies in which allies we can win."

"How about the Peak family?" Earl Matus said, "They have always been dishonest."

The Peck family is the lord of Star Shuttle City, and their territory is just east of Horn Hill, and they have indeed been dishonest as Earl Matus said.

When the Gardener King ruled the Reach, the Peake family was one of the most powerful families in the Reach. They once fought against the Manderly family for the throne of the King of the Reach, which caused ten years of chaos in the Reach. In the end, the latter was forced to flee the Reach and go to the north. Now it has become an important member of the Stark family. Vassal, Lord of White Harbor.

During the Targaryen dynasty, the Peake family once lost power after the "Dance of the Dragon", but during the Blackfyre Rebellion, the Peake family was implicated for supporting Damon Blackfyre, and their strength was severely damaged. A lot of low-key.

When Earl Matus mentioned the family, he glanced at Samwell.

Samwell knew that the other party probably regarded him, who could incubate dragons, as the remnant of the Black Flame, and given the connection between the Peak family and the Black Flame, it was very likely that they would support him.

But upon hearing this, Earl Landau's expression was not very good.

He was very sure that Samwell was the child born to himself and his wife, and it wasn't some bullshit, but he didn't know how to explain the hatching of the dragon.

So I have been pretending to be an ostrich until now...

"The Peak family may not join us." Earl Randall said coldly, "Don't forget that they are related to the Lannister family."

Samwell thought at first that his father was out of embarrassment, but after a while he realized that Earl Titus Peake seemed to have indeed married a Lannister wife.

"Lady Margaux is a Lannister collateral, not an important marriage." Earl Matus said, "I don't think Earl Titus may not be able to win over."

Indeed, marriages are also graded according to the status of the partners.

Samwell also said: "I also think it is possible to try. Don't forget that the main force that assisted the Iron Throne in suppressing the Peak rebellion was the Western Territory Army. It is hard to say what Earl Peak's attitude is towards the Lannister family."

Moreover, he also knew from the original book that there are now three members of the Peake family serving in the Golden Company on the other side of the Narrow Sea. This is a mercenary force that supports the restoration of Targaryen.

It can be seen that the Peake family is indeed a diehard loyalist of Blackfyre.

"Okay, let's try." Earl Landau did not insist, "Is there any other family that can be brought over?"

"The Oakheart family is probably impossible." Earl Matus glanced at Samwell again.

Samwell raised his teacup to drink in embarrassment.

The Oakheart family of Ancient Oak City is also one of the most powerful families in the Reach. The current lord is Countess Egwene Oakheart, but her son Sir Alex Oakheart is Lin Tiewei's white knight was beheaded by Samwell in Tianji City just now.

so…

"I think the Hightower family may be able to win over." Samwell said, wanting to make up for his "miss".

"Hightower?"

The other three frowned when they heard this.

The Hightower family in Oldtown is of course the most powerful family in the Reach, but the key point is that they have a very close relationship with the Tyrell family.

The Duke of Metz's wife is the daughter of Earl Leighton Hightower.

With this relationship, it is not easy for the Hightower family to stand on the opposite side of the Tyrell family.

Samwell explained: "On the way here, Earl Leighton Hightower sent a message from his vassal, Viscount Martin Mullendall, inviting me to Old Town, saying that he wanted to see the dragon."

"You'd better not go." Earl Randall immediately said, "The Academy hates dragons and magic. As for the Hightower family, they have an ambiguous attitude. You should also be careful."

"Of course I won't go to Old Town." Samwell said, "I think it's okay to invite Earl Layton to Highgarden, show him the white dragon, and test his attitude by the way. He is so keen on dragons, maybe It can be drawn."

"I think we can give it a try." Earl Matus said, "As long as we win the Hightower family over, Mace Tyrell can only bow his head no matter how reluctant he is. It doesn't matter what other families think."

"Yes." Earl Randall nodded in agreement, "You can write a letter later and ask Bachelor Ada to send the raven to Old Town."

"good."

Afterwards, several people discussed the possibility of wooing other families in Hebend, but compared to heavyweight families like the Hightower family, the positions of the other families are indeed not very important.

After the meeting was over, Samwell first wrote a letter to Earl Leighton Hightower, and after handing it to the bachelor, he went to his brother Dickon's room.

My mother, Mrs. Melissa, was there too.

"How is your recovery?" Samwell sat down by the bed.

"The wound has begun to heal, and Bachelor Ada said that it will be back to normal after two months of training. But..." Mrs. Melissa frowned slightly, "It's just that Dickon seems to have hurt his head, and he can't remember many things gone."

Samwell thought to himself, sure enough.

"It's okay, you can recall slowly."

"The longer it is, the more I can't remember it clearly." Dickon said distressedly, "However, I clearly remember the experience of fighting with my brother in Dorne. I remember our charge on the sand sea and the attack on Korg. Castle of the House of Er, remember to fight in the flames of the Sanctuary..."

"Wait!" Hearing this, Samwell suddenly stopped his brother, "You said you remembered fighting in the flames of the temple?"

"Yes." Dickon nodded, "I was by my brother's side at the time, we sang the song of the Seven Gods, and fought to the last moment."

Samwell frowned.

Because the younger brother obviously rushed out of the church on horseback, how could he fight side by side with himself in the sea of ??fire?

Moreover, the fire engulfed the entire church, so how could there be any survivors except him, the "unburned man".

Memory messed up?

Is it a side effect of the resurrection technique?

Or the Lord of Light?

Samwell remained calm, and asked Dickon some more questions, confirming that the other person's character and mood had basically remained the same as before, but he really couldn't remember a lot of things, and even stumbled on the names of the three younger sisters .

On the contrary, he looked at Samwell very hotly. If it was said that his brother's feeling for him was admiration, it seems a bit fanatical now.

It seems that he can't wait to continue fighting with Samwell.

Samwell doesn't know whether this change is good or bad, maybe he can ask Melisandre that magic stick when he goes back.

"Sam, are you going to Highgarden?" Mrs. Melissa asked.

"Yes, mother." Samwell replied, "Plan to leave next week."

"Okay." Mrs. Melissa showed a kind smile, "I must marry Miss Margery."

Samwell laughed loudly, with strong confidence in his eyes:

"Relax, mother. She is destined to marry your son."
