Chapter 289, Small Actions (Ask for Subscription~!!)
"She's just a girl, why are you so cruel?!"
Humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, mercy, soul, honesty, justice, the eight virtues are in Westeros, and all knights talk about obedience, but there really aren't many people who can do it.
Brienne of Tars, on the other hand, is precisely the one who is a true knight of noble character, who values honor, keeps promises, and has mercy on the weak.
She couldn't watch a young girl be brutally burned to death.
Offering blood magic, performing magical spells, and praying to the Lord of Light for power, Melisandre was unconcerned about her surroundings.
The fanatics were interrupted by the female knight for the sake of the ceremony, and they all rushed towards her without fear of death.
As the girl's screams grew quieter, Melisandre's sacrifice had been successful, the Lord of Light revealed, and the cloudy sky began to change color.
However, dispelling the dark clouds that obscured the vision in a radius of hundreds of miles, the priestess felt the divine power dissipate.
This is how the sacrificial ceremony seems to end......
"What's going on?"
Melisandre wondered.
Looking at Princess Shireen who was burned in the flames, unable to even scream, Brienne gritted her teeth and killed the two fanatics who stood in her way, crashed directly into the fire, and snatched the girl out of the flames.
"Stop!"
The fanatical believers around wanted to disturb the female knight of the ceremony to pay for their lives, but the red-robed woman who saw this came back to her senses and immediately stopped them.
Shireen was taken out of the flames by the female knight and immediately placed on the snow and poured it with snow.
There was a battle behind her, and Stannis, who was paying attention to the ceremony, but did not dare to face her daughter, rode over on horseback, looked at the tall female knight who had extinguished the flames on the girl's body with snow with a gloomy face, and then looked at Melisandre with suppressed anger: "She interrupted the ceremony?"
The priestess shook her head when she heard this: "No, the sacrifice has been completed." ”
"So... What about the miracle of defeating the Night King?" Stannis asked, turning his head to look around, confused.
Hearing this, Melisandre's face, which was often expressionless, immediately showed incomprehension, doubt, doubt, and confusion, and she said uncertainly: "It should... Possible... It's just not there yet. ”
Seeing her expression, Stannis gripped the hilt of his sword hard, "Really?"
Melisandre: "I won't lie to you. ”
In fact, sacrificing Shirin to perform a divine ritual did not achieve the expected effect at all, except for feeling the divine power of a king of light blessing herself.
Even the sacrifice ends immediately!
As a more powerful priestess than Penelope, she was favored by the Lord of Light, Laherlo, who had successfully performed powerful magic and summoned the Lord of Light to descend after so many sacrifices.
She can do so many things, the red-robed woman can't figure it out, and she can't believe it, she seems to have failed to sacrifice a false god.
Therefore, Melisandre only thinks that the magic is not unsuccessful, but that the Lord of Light has been a little slow to respond after fighting the evil god of cold.
Brienne extinguished the fire on Shireen's body, noticed the girl's harmful weak breathing, and looked at the girl's father, her own killer Stannis, and asked in a loud voice, "Did you know that she was going to burn your daughter?"
Hearing this, Stannis's originally unpleasant face immediately turned into a look of wanting to eat her alive.
"I don't need your interference in my daughter's affairs!"
"What kind of father would be ruthless enough to let his daughter be burned in the fire?" Brienne sneered, sheathed her sword, and picked up the almost charred girl, "Stannis, you brute is not worthy of being a father!"
"Bold!" the loyal monarch was scolded, and the soldiers around him drew their swords and turned against each other.
Brienne didn't look at the soldiers surrounding her, and snorted coldly and hugged the girl to return to Severn City: "Get out!"
The female knight's words made Stannis's face turn blue and white, and the hilt of the sword turned white in the palm of her hand, but after all, she did not order the soldiers who surrounded her with the sword to attack.
After a moment of silence, he closed his eyes and sighed, "Let her go." ”
Holding the girl who was breathing weakly and was about to die, Brienne burst out of her awakened power and galloped back to the city of Severn.
"Quickly open the gates for me, I want to see His Highness Arthur, Princess Shireen is injured!"
Female knights are rare in Westeros, they are so tall and strong, and they still appear with Daenerys and them on a dragon, and the soldiers of the Severn family on the city wall recognize her at once, and when they hear the words about the princess's injury, the soldiers guarding the city dare not open the door.
"Help me save someone! Where's the Bachelor? The girl in my arms is Princess Shireen!"
Brienne soon finds the Bachelor of Seven.
"The girl is hopeless. Seeing Princess Shireen, whose skin was all blackened, the bachelor who rushed to hear the sound shook his head and said that he could not do anything.
"What?" but the female knight didn't give up, "Where is Arthur?"
After eating the food, they went to the room where they were arranged, but they couldn't sleep because of the death of their parents and brother, Sansa and Arya heard the movement and simply came out, and saw the tall female knight holding the badly burned girl looking for someone.
Sansa and Arya immediately came over, "Miss Brienne, what's going on?"
"It's Shireen, Shireen was burned by fire, where is His Highness Arthur?"
Arya didn't hesitate at all, and immediately ran up to lead the way for her: "Here, come with me." ”
"His Highness Arthur is not awake yet. Seeing the female knight chasing her sister with Shireen, who was burned and dying, Sansa hurriedly followed, "We can find Priest Penelope and Wizard Ambrosius." ”
Brienne: "No! you can't find the priest of the Red God Cult! Princess Shireen was burned like this by the priestess of the Red God Cult!"
"What?" Sansa was shocked when she heard this, "Why did the priests of the Red God Cult burn Shirin?"
"I don't know. ”
Arya led the way, and several people quickly found the room where the prince had been arranged.
The injury was not serious, Gawain did not go to rest after eating, only took a blanket, lit a fire next to it, and leaned against the wall to guard dutifully, and when he saw the second daughter of the Stark family, he ran with a female knight holding the seriously burned girl, and immediately got up and asked: "Ladies, what happened?"
"It's Princess Shireen, she's burned, and we're going to see His Highness Arthur for treatment!"
Arya opened the door as she spoke.
In the room, the prince was still lying on the bed, Anne, who was loyal to him, was resting on his stomach, and Selena was on the floor, all of whom were awakened by the little wolf girl.
"Ghouls are besieging the city?"
"No, it's Princess Shireen who has been burned!" Brienne came in with the dying girl, "Please save Princess Shireen!"
Seeing this, Anne hesitated for a moment, but immediately came back to her senses, and then pulled Arthur, who was lying on the couch and was in a coma, up and shook it vigorously: "Arthur, Princess Shireen has an accident, wake up quickly!"
In order to save the princess, Brienne made a lot of noise, and the people in the next room were woken up one after another.
"Seven Hells, where am I? Where is Barristan? This is not Winterfell, where is this? Damn it! How's the battle in Winterfell going? Where's Eddard?!"
The troops who were taken to Stannis were cared for overnight by the military bachelors, and then stayed in the city of Severn to recuperate, and woke up with Emperor Robert undressed, but he did not forget the war in the slightest.
Hearing the Emperor mention her father, Sansa said with red eyes, "Your Majesty, my father... has been sacrificed..."
Robert was shocked: "What? What about Barristan? What about Arthur?"
"Your Majesty, here I am!" said the old knight hurriedly put on his coat and left the room.
Lancelot, Ranmaroke, Ambrosius, Penelope, Asha and others who were sleeping also came out.
Daenerys frowned and looked around, pulled Gawain next to her to ask, and learned that Princess Shireen was burned, and immediately understood what was going on: "How could Stannis let such a thing happen!"
"What Stannis?"
Hearing his brother's name from the Dragon Queen's mouth, Robert suppressed his grief over his friend's death and glared at her.
The silver-haired queen didn't answer, and went directly into Arthur's room, to awaken the prince who had mastered the power of the Holy Light and possessed magical healing energy.
"Who is this?" Robert immediately asked, pushing away the man who was in the way, running into the room, and seeing the girl who had been placed on the floor, charred and blackened, and had entered the dying bed.
Arya: "It's Princess Shireen. ”
"What?"
How could the younger brother's daughter, Robert, not know that although she didn't like Stannis and didn't like his daughter with gray scales, it was impossible to be burned like this and ask: "Seven Layers of Hell, who will tell me what the hell is going on?"
Brienne: "I saw Princess Shireen captured by Dragonstone soldiers who believed in the Lord of Light, and tied to the fire......"
"How dare they?!"
Hearing this, Robert's eyes burst into flames, and he roared with rage, and his voice echoed throughout the room, causing everyone's eardrums to ache.
Hearing this deafening roar of rage, Arthur woke up and opened his eyes vaguely.
On the floor, the girl who was burned all over her body and was in pain had reached the last moment of dying, and Anne hurriedly dragged the young man up: "Princess Shireen needs you to save her!"
Needless to say, seeing this, Arthur immediately used the power of the Holy Light to save people.
Mastering the power of the Holy Light, the most he did was not to attack with the Holy Light, but to assist, bless blessings, and bless protection.
After a battle in Winterfell, the king of the strange ghosts fought to heal the injured people and the fallen dragon, and the healing technique had been mastered, and the power of nature was poured out, and the dying girl immediately regained her weak breathing.
Seeing this, Ambrosius hurriedly said to everyone in the room: "Your Majesty, please let Your Highness treat Princess Shireen in a quiet space, and we can also talk about what happened after you fell into a coma." ”
Robert nodded, waved his hand to let the irrelevant people out, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me everything!"
While waiting for the results of Arthur's treatment.
Ambrosius, Sansa, Gawain, and others told all about last night's experience.
Winterfell and was seriously injured by the Night King, the evil ancient god of the strange spirits descended, after Bran sacrificed himself, the old gods and the evil cold god were defeated together, the dragon lost his way in the darkness, Arthur woke up to treat everyone, the dragon and the others were seriously injured by the evil god and flew to the ground, and finally the unconscious Ed was killed, etc......
After hearing these things, Robert was so angry that he almost lost control, and he copied a sword and went to the school yard of the Severn family to cut the sword target to vent his anger.
Daenerys shook her head and couldn't help but say, "Except for anger, doesn't the Emperor have no solution to the problem?"
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to say these words. The reckless Robert was angry, and when he heard his queen's words, Jorah quickly shook his head at her, begging him not to stir up trouble again.
...... To be continued......
