Chapter 44, Guardian
"Your Majesty, come out, stop resisting. β
The people who were huddled in the cabin took advantage of the terrain to maneuver around, from dawn to dark.
On deck, one of the commanders of the Lannister shouted loudly that he had lost more than thirty men, and the entrance to the cabin was full of corpses, but he just couldn't break into the cabin and capture the emperor and prime minister alive.
There were five commanders standing here, all of them so impatient that they wanted to set fire to the emperor and prime minister who were hiding in the cabin.
Hungry, tired, and scarred.
The emperor and prime minister in the cabin they were not good.
As women, even if they are women who can go to the battlefield, Anne and Hein Likai are so tired that they can't sit steadily.
There was silence.
They were so tired that they didn't want to say much, and they had to reserve their strength to deal with the enemy.
Even the two noblewomen, Maria and Liana, and the lady Azhara took their crossbow arrows and killed them.
Among so many people, only Arthur who was in a coma was sleeping soundly, and if he didn't mention his abnormal fever and sweating body, then it must be the most comfortable of all.
"If we don't come out, we're going to set it on fire!"
"We don't have to be captured alive!"
Listening to the clamour, Barristan looked worriedly at the Emperor and the Prime Minister.
Warrior Emperor Robert snorted coldly when he heard this, and roared in response: "A group of cowards who have no seeds, burn them if you want to, don't think I'll be afraid!"
Roaring and playing, everyone waited for a while, only to hear a commotion outside, but no fireworks were built.
At this time, the boat shook a little widely, and it seemed to be sailing, and Barristan frowned: "The speed of the ship seems to have increased." β
Ed: "They want to bring us back to King's Landing. β
Varian cautiously stepped out of the passage and glanced at the deck, "They don't look like they're going back to King's Landing, they look a little flustered. β
"And... I heard that they were about to flee and seemed to have met an enemy. β
Ryan Barristan, who closed his eyes and recuperated, nodded: "I heard it too." β
Barristan: "Could it be that they are trying to trick us out?"
"Possibly. Robert said.
Outside the cabin.
In the night and waves, the speed of the ship is increased to the extreme.
"Commander, those pirates are still in hot pursuit, and they won't give up at all!"
"Damn!" the commander saw the sea robbers menacing, without listening to his subordinates' reports.
King's Landing rings the death knell and announces the death of the Emperor and the rebellion of Prime Minister Eddard Stark.
No evidence, no trial.
Who would believe the Lannister's one-sided statement?
Maester Eric, who had healed the Emperor, Prime Minister, Captain of the Kingsguard, and others at Villa Maria, did not flee with the crowd.
Because of his status as a bachelor, he left the villa immediately after treating everyone's injuries, and then spread the news that Joffrey was not of the Emperor's blood throughout Westeros.
Before the Prime Minister wanted to arrest Cersei, Joffrey, and Tomman, he sent a letter to Dragonstone.
There was no news for more than ten days, and everyone thought that the emperor and the prime minister were dead.
After receiving the letter from the Prime Minister, Stannis immediately gathered his troops and prepared to reclaim the Emperor's throne belonging to the Holy Loren family!
Lan Li, who escaped King's Landing before the coup, also intended for the throne.
The emperor and prime minister are not dead.
There's no way the Lannisters let them escape.
So, the news was revealed to Stannis and Lan Li, who were intent on chasing the crown, and they soon cooperated with the blockade of the sea.
And drive all the ships that appear on the sea to Essos on the other side of the Narrow Sea!
The Pirate King Salado Thorn is being co-opted by Stannis.
Even if Stannis, who is like pure iron, black, hard and strong, does not want to kill his relatives, and with the red-robed woman Melisandre beside him, he is still ruthless in order to become the co-master of Westeros!
The "rebellious" prime minister was not captured alive.
The Lannisters had no choice but to take them to escape from the pirates.
This run is almost to Essos!
Robert, Ed, Barristan, Varian, Ryan, Anne, Heinly Kay, Maria, Liana, and Aishara are the ones who take turns receiving food and water from Lannisters.
There is no problem for one person to eat, only the second person eats, and only two or three people are full at a time, and the rest are hungry.
Arthur was basically only fed a little water by Anne every day, because he was in a coma and he never woke up, and the flesh was visibly thin, and he became skinny and bone, if it weren't for the ups and downs of his chest and breathing, everyone thought he was dead, so that the big fat emperor who lost weight wanted to share some of the meat on his body.
At this point, the sailing ship finally stopped.
Barristan observed from the passage and noticed that the Lannister seamen on deck were still panicked and rushed off the ship, feeling too strange and muttering: "They don't seem to be trying to trick us out. β
"Something really seems to have happened. β
Robert didn't want to stay in the cabin anymore: "Then go out and have a look." β
"Let me go. Today it was Ryan's turn to eat, and he stood up without hesitation.
"Kid, be careful. Hearing the Emperor's father's advice, Ryan, who had never received much fatherly love and care from his father as an illegitimate child, was very happy, and decided to create a chance to leave the damned ship even if he didn't have a chance.
"I will. β
Coming out to the deck, looking out at the strange harbor, and looking around, Ryan was immediately sure that they hadn't returned to King's Landing!
All the people on the surrounding Lannister ships ran out.
There were ships in the rear to block the harbor.
"Your Majesty, there are no Lannisters on the ship, you can come out!"
Whatever the case may be, it's best to get out of this damn ship first.
Barristan who came out first looked at the port, and immediately frowned, "We've come to Essos?"
"Essos?" Robert wondered.
Ed looked at the harbor blocked by ships and muttered, "Maybe Stannis's fleet came to our rescue." β
"Really?" said Robert, "then why didn't he come to see me?"
"We don't know which city this is. Maria proposed to the Emperor of her mistress, "Your Majesty, why don't you go to the harbor first?"
In this way, their group, carried by Ryan and Varian, carried the unconscious Arthur, to the strange continent of Essos.
Thankfully, HΓ€inrikai brought the spoils of the enemy's swords to the blacksmith shop to sell, otherwise they wouldn't even have the money to eat.
Stayed at a hotel and found a doctor for Arthur who was unconscious.
Everyone was finally able to eat a delicious claypot meal and sleep comfortably.
Asleep.
Arthur's heart was suddenly shocked.
Suddenly awakened by the uneasiness in my heart.
There was no sound of waves, no smell of the sea, it was in a dark room.
Immediately, there was a wave of weakness, and I felt that I was hungry enough to eat a cow!
The moon outside the window was round.
There was silence in the strange street, and occasionally there was the sound of a woman's waves, and the candles were lit, and Arthur was shocked to find that there was a man standing in front of him!
The man was dressed in clothes across the narrow sea, and his face looked at him, and he felt palpitations when he saw it.
"Who are you?"
"You shouldn't have woken up. β
As he spoke, the man immediately took out his rope and pounced on Arthur, trying to catch him!
Skinny, weak, and hungry, Arthur is no longer the salted fish he once was.
The eight slashers that he carried with him were not taken.
Knocked down by it, Arthur immediately pulled out a knife and put it on the man's neck: "If you don't want to die, let it go!"
However.
This man saw that Arthur was so skinny that he must have no strength when he was thrown down by himself, so he reached out and tried to grab the knife!
The knife is a weapon that keeps him safe, and Arthur will not allow it to be taken away and then used by gangsters to threaten his own life.
In the end, I am still afraid of death.
With a flick of his wrist, he sent the knife into the man's neck.
Bright red blood splattered on his face, and Arthur was a little afraid that he would become a bloodthirsty murderer in the future because he was so comfortable with killing.
After all, bad guys also have a chance to get better.
With the heart of the Virgin, Arthur was very envious of Naruto Uzumaki's mouth cannon.
That's the best skill for good!
If there is such a mouthpiece, maybe he will make the world very beautiful, and there will be no more bad people who are full of malice towards him.
