Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King Chapter 266

Chapter 266 Turning the table

The appearance of the dragon made the banquet hall suddenly fall into silence.

But in the next second, the pot exploded again.

Earl Orton's complexion changed drastically, and he roared:

"Action!"

The side door of the banquet suddenly opened, and the crossbowmen tried to rush in.

At this time, Samwell let go of Mrs. Tanya, rushed forward, and ordered:

"Dragon Burn!"

A burst of orange-red flames spewed out from the mouth of the white dragon, and went straight to the side door, burning the few crossbowmen who had just rushed in into charcoal.

The raging flames blocked the side door, making it impossible for the crossbowmen of the Marilyweiss family to step forward.

Samwell had already overturned the long table in front of him. Among the flying food and tableware, he grabbed a table knife and pressed it against Earl Orton's throat.

"Master Orton, if you don't want to die, tell your subordinates to stop."

"Stop! Stop!" Feeling the sting of the sharp knife on his throat, Earl Orton sensibly shouted the order.

The members of the Merry Weiss family had long been frightened by the giant dragon. After hearing the lord's order, they all breathed a sigh of relief and put down their weapons.

The horse party knights who followed Samwell realized something was wrong at this time. They were all frightened into a cold sweat, put down their knives and forks, and began to yell.

The traitor from the Riverbend, the dog of the Lannister family, and other foul words filled the hall.

"Okay." Samwell said, "Go and open the city gate to let our army in."

As he spoke, he kicked out the only son of the earl, Russell Marilywes, who was trying to get under the table, and said:

"Take this kid, in case the guards at the city gate are confused about the situation."

"Yes." Galth Hightower strode forward, held the crying Russell in his hand, and walked out.

A dozen or so river bend knights followed.

The hall returned to silence.

Everyone was a little overwhelmed by the upheaval.

Only Cleopatra poked her head out to pick up the barbecue on the long table, and ate it on her own.

"Lord Caesar..." Mrs. Tanya cautiously leaned over, "This is actually Lannister's idea..."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Earl Layton immediately said, "We were forced to do it by Lannister. That boy Gerald Hisham is right next door, you must catch him!"

Samwell winked at Sir Hyle Hunt.

Sir Haile understood, and immediately took a few people to the next door.

A group of crossbowmen there were at a loss for what to do with the fear of the dragon flame. After seeing Sir Haile, they pointed to the open door and said:

"My lord, Jello Hisan has already run away just now."

Sir Hale came back to report, but Samwell didn't care: "He can't run away."

There was a roar outside, which sounded like the sound of the city gate drawbridge being lowered, followed by the sound of a large group of cavalry entering the city.

Samwell knew that the situation was settled, so he stopped holding the knife to Earl Layton's throat.

Earl Layton felt relieved, cleared his throat, and said cautiously:

"Master Caesar... The Merry Weiss family is willing to surrender, and please... be kind..."

Samwell ignored him, found a leg of lamb that hadn't fallen on the ground from the overturned food pile, and gnawed on it.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Tanya hurriedly poured a glass of red wine and handed it over.

But Samwell didn't go to pick it up, which made the woman stand there awkwardly, and didn't dare to put down the wine glass.

After eating a leg of lamb, Qiman Huya led a group of soldiers into the hall.

"Lord Caesar, the castle is under our control."

"There's a **** son of the Lannister family, don't let him get away."

"I've caught it, do you want to see me?"

"Bring it up."

Cheman waved his hand behind him, and soon a young man with long blond hair was escorted over.

Because an arrow was shot in the calf when he was running away just now, he is walking with a limp at the moment.

"Gero Hills?" Samwell asked, "Tell me, which noble families of the Riverbend the Lannister family has won over, and I can spare your life."

Jello sneered: "First of all, I don't know all of Lord Tywin's plans, and even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you!"

"Very good. I like lions with backbone." Sam Well paused for a moment, "Oh no, you shouldn't be considered a lion, at least Tywin won't admit you."

Jello's face changed slightly, but he still disdainfully said: "Stop playing such provocative tricks, Caesar, you don't want to get anything from me."

"Not necessarily." Samwell stood up with a smile, and finally took the wine glass from Mrs. Tanya, but at the same time handed her a table knife.

Ms. Tanya is holding a table knife, a little unclear.

Samwell pointed to Gerald Hill, and said:

"Mrs. Tanya, the time has come to prove your loyalty."

Mrs. Tanya finally understood, and her face turned pale instantly.

Samwell said leisurely: "I told you before, as long as you are obedient, I will reward you with a castle. But if you don't cherish yourself..."

Ms. Tanya finally gritted her teeth and stepped forward.

Jello Hisan tried to struggle, but Cheeman grabbed him, held his head down, and exposed his neck.

Madam Tanya took a few deep breaths, but she still couldn't calm her frantic heartbeat.

She was actually just a commoner in the city of Mir on the other side of the Narrow Sea. The reason why she was able to marry Earl Orton was entirely because the Marilynweis family was in its most desperate period.

Earl Orton's grandfather, Earl Owen Merryweather, was once the Hand of the "Mad King" Aerys. During the War of the Reaver, due to ineffective suppression of the rebellion, the "Mad King" deposed several Hands of Kings one after another. Earl Owen was one of them.

After being dismissed, the grandparents of Mariweis went into exile in the city of Mill, and only then did they meet Tanya.

At that time, the Mariweis family was extremely destitute. Not only did they lose their official positions, but the family fief and title were also deprived. It can be said to be extremely miserable.

Although Tanya is a commoner, because of her outstanding appearance, it is not a problem to marry a wealthy businessman or even a small nobleman. However, she disregarded the dissuasion of her family and married Orton Merryweather, firmly believing that this exiled nobleman would eventually have A day of resurgence.

Later, Robert Baratheon ascended the Iron Throne, and sure enough, the fate of the Merryweather family took a turn for the better, and they got back their titles and fiefdoms.

And Tanya's "investment" has also been richly rewarded.

This ambitious Myr woman understands that at critical moments, she must dare to gamble!

Looking at the white dragon feasting on the long table, Mrs. Tanya felt that she must be right this time!

The determined Mir woman let out a low growl, and suddenly stepped forward and plunged the table knife in her hand into Jie Luo Xishan's neck.

Blood spurted out, splashing the woman's face.

The table knife was not considered sharp, and Mrs. Tanya was not strong enough. After this knife, Jie Luo Xishan was still alive, twisting his body crazily like a fish out of water.

Fortunately, Qieman helped hold him down, so he didn't break free.

"Pull the knife down again." Cheeman kindly reminded the woman.

Ms. Tanya didn't dare to open her eyes at all, but she still gritted her teeth and pulled hard.

The table knife finally cut the trachea, giving the **** of the Lannister family a relief.

"Very good." Samwell clapped his hands, "Mrs. Tanya, the Longtable is your reward."

Ms. Tanya's long legs were still trembling slightly, and she turned her head in doubt.

But Earl Orton already understood what Samwell was implying, and ran away in fright.

whoosh—

A sharp arrow shot out, hitting the back of Earl Orton's heart.

Ms. Tanya suddenly covered her mouth with her **** hand, her eyes widened.

Samwell stepped forward and patted the woman on the shoulder, saying:

"I remember your son is only six years old?"

Mrs. Tanya nodded with absent-minded eyes.

"That's good." Samwell announced, "Now that Lord Orton has died unfortunately, according to the law, Countess Tanya Merryweather, you are the master of the Longtable Castle until your son comes of age."

After hearing this, Mrs. Tanya's eyes regained focus.

A surge of ecstasy rushed into my heart, dispelled the fear, and finally made Mrs. Tanya recover, and a blush appeared on her pretty face.

"Yes, Lord Caesar!" Mrs. Tanya bowed respectfully, "I will definitely remember your grace and be loyal to you forever!"

Samwell smiled slightly and reminded: "The Merryweather family is loyal to the Tyrell family."

"Yes." Madam Tanya smiled charmingly, "I will also be loyal to House Tyrell."

Samwell did not correct this time, but instead asked:

"Where's Madame Olenna?"

"plz follow me."
