The Proud Wind's hull began to tilt forward, and the ensuing torrential rain made it even worse, and finally the Proud Wind, which carried Robert's hopes and loved ones, sank, first the bow and then the entire hull, and finally the stern swallowed up by the merciless sea.

It sank to the bottom of the sea with Robert's happy family, and shattered Robert's only chance of luck.

Robert could see some faint figures on the sea holding driftwood and barrels, struggling on the sea, calling for help, maybe his parents were among them, but he could only watch, he struggled to save them, but was pulled by Master Cresson, "Robert, the storm is coming, you can't save them!" If you go now, you're just losing your life! ”

"No, I have to go, let me go, damn it, there are my parents on that boat! They are the Duke and Lady of Storm's End, whom you serve! Robert struggled, tears streaming down his cheeks, and he roared hoarsely.

"Do you think I'm not sad? Your father, Duke Stephen, was a good friend of mine, and because they were your parents, I couldn't let you die, don't you remember? Before they left, they told me to take care of you, I can't watch you die! Robert! I beg you! The gray-haired Maester Crisson grabbed Robert stiffly, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

But he was getting old after all, and seeing that Robert was about to break free from him, he grabbed Robert with another hand.

Robert looked back in surprise and saw that the owner of the hands was none other than his brother, Stannis, who was two years younger than him, and it was at this moment, this moment that Robert hated Stannis, because he did not see a trace of sadness on Stannis's face, let alone a tear, his expression was as cold and stiff as ever.

"Robert, you can't have saved them! The storm is coming, listen to Maester Crisson! Stannis's voice was as calm as ever, cold, and devoid of emotion.

"What kind of bastard are you talking about! Stannis, the people on board are you and my parents! How can you say such a thing! In this way, Robert tried to find even a trace of chagrin, sadness, and shame on Stannis's face, so as to convince himself that his brother was just trying to be strong, and he was also crying inside, but the truth disappointed Robert, and Stannis was as cold and hard as ever, like a piece of "pig iron".

Robert's tears flowed from his eyes again, but this time it was because of Stannis's astonishing indifference, and for the first time he felt that this brother was not just shy and introverted, but a thoroughly cold machine with no beating heart at all.

"I'm just talking about things!" Stannis seemed to be aggrieved by his brother's anger, and he slammed into it with a blank look.

A huge wave in the distance swept away the "survivors" who were struggling with driftwood and barrels in the torrential rain, erasing the last traces of the shipwreck, and the sea returned to its original appearance as if nothing had ever happened.

The only cry in the air was Robert's cry, which was destined to be the darkest day of Robert's life, and even the pain of losing Lyanna could not be compared, and on that day, the entire Storm's End was immersed in grief, Robert lost his father, and Storm's End lost its duke.

The morning sun, the warm sea breeze, the blue and clear water, and even the colorful corals and fish walking through the seabed, it looks like a beautiful resort, sandy beach, sea water, sunshine, how beautiful!

Who would have thought that such a beautiful coast and such a beautiful sea would become a devil who chooses people to devour in the midst of a storm, devouring Robert's parents?

"What's wrong? Robert, you seem to be in a bad mood? Aren't you almost home? Han Xing's words pulled Robert out of his thoughts.

"You know, that's where my parents' boat sank!" Robert took a sip of the seawater with hatred, and he still couldn't let go of the damn hypocrisy of the cursed man in his heart!

Han Xing patted Robert on the shoulder and said, "The deceased is gone, be happy, Robert, you're home!" Think about it, how long have you been out of here? Now that you're back as a lord, don't you have anyone you want to see? ”

"I don't know what happened to Lan Li, he was still a baby when I left!" Robert's grief seemed to be diluted a little, and he thought of his brother and fell into deep thought, and the medium-sized cargo ship began to head towards the harbor in Broken Ship Bay.

"Who are you?" Two guards dressed in chainmail spotted Han Xing and Robert's cargo ship.

"Damn it, I'm the Duke of Storm's End, your lord, Duke Robert of House Baratheon!" Robert said directly, he had suffered enough anger before, and he finally returned to his own territory, and he didn't want to lose face in front of his good friends again.

"You are Duke Robert Baratheon?" The guard seemed to be much better than the quality of other places, but asked with an inquiring tone, maybe it was because after all, Robert "claimed" that he was their big boss, whether he was or not, even if he wasn't, he had to be careful, after all, he was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!

Robert didn't look like the Grand Duke of Storm's End at all, although his beard had a tendency to come back, but he still had only a short beard, and the clothes he wore were even dirtier, casually draped over his body, exuding a "smell of the sea", like a destitute sailor.

Although there are several crew members on this ship, there is no nanny to wash clothes and take care of daily life, after all, in the face of the royal fleet's interrogation, it is necessary to ensure that the people on board are reliable and trustworthy. Whether it was Grand Duke Robert or Han Xing, the "tracheitis", they were not interested in scrubbing and scrubbing at all, so they naturally "let themselves go" and became like this.

"Get Maester Clerson or Ser Harbert Baratheon!" Robert waved his hand impatiently, and when he heard Robert say so domineering and ask them to find the acting city lord and the bachelor, the guards immediately looked at each other.

"Damn, let you go, if they get angry, I will naturally stand up to it!" Robert's roar immediately showed the momentum of his superiors who had previously scolded Fang Xuan in quelling the rebellion in Seagull Town, and the guards were startled and immediately ran obediently to report it.

Not long after, a strong old man with shoulder-length white hair and a large beard walked out, and judging by the respectful appearance of the guards, it was obvious that he was in an extraordinary position.

He looked not to be messed with at all, his face was ruddy, he looked as strong as a cow, and he walked like a fly, with a hint of anger on his face.

"Uncle Harbert!" Robert spoke at once, and then a smile bloomed on his face, and the old man was obviously stunned when he heard Robert's voice, and then changed his face full of anger, and greeted him with the same smile.

"Robert! I didn't expect it to be you! I thought it was another liar who ate and drank! "It turned out that the old man was none other than Robert's uncle, Sir Harbert, who served as the acting lord of Storm's End after Robert left for the Vale, and he was the younger brother of Robert's grandfather and the old birthday boy of the Baratheon family.

"Robert, you have grown up, and you have grown strong and strong! Attaboy! When I saw you, I remembered when your father was young, you were so similar! Time flies! Hubbard Baratheon slapped Robert's arm and sighed.

"Uncle Harbert, this is my friend, Sir Lancel Segard, a knight loyal to House Tully, who protected me all the way back to Storm's End at the Harrenhal tournament!" Robert pulled Han Xing and introduced him to Sir Harbert.

"I've heard of you, Sir 'Lightning' Segard, how are you, how are you free? It's great to have a friend like you! "Sir Harbert had actually heard of Han Xing.

This was something Han Xing didn't expect, he hurriedly bent down and made an impeccable aristocratic salute: "This is what I should do!" ”

Under Sir Harbert's arrangement, Han Xing and Robert were taken to different rooms to freshen up and change their clothes, and a banquet was held for them in the evening.

Storm's Rest itself is a walled wall surrounded by an oversized main tower, large enough to "integrate" the barn, barracks, armory, hall, and lord's rooms, but even then, there is plenty of extra space.

If there is no servant to lead the way, Han Xing even suspects that he will turn around for a day because he is lost, the stairs here are circled layer by layer, the big one is outrageous, every time Han Xing thinks that the front is the end, it will "hit" Han Xing a loud slap, it is really "the mountains and rivers are doubtful, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village". After washing up and sleeping, he was woken up by the servant and went downstairs to the hall for dinner.

This banquet was bigger than Han Xing imagined, as if it had been prepared for a long time, and from a distance, Han Xing saw Robert's figure, he was far easier to find than he imagined, he was wearing a bright yellow swan-looking dress, and there was a black crested stag on his chest, which was his family coat of arms, as if he was afraid that no one would know him.

Holding a silver wine glass, he walked easily among the nobles, and from time to time he bloomed with that trademark smile, which seemed amiable.

Seeing Han Xing coming, he immediately "drilled" out of the crowd surrounding him, came to Han Xing's side with a wine glass, and said in his ear: "You must be wondering why there are so many people, right?" ”

Han Xing knew that it was time for Robert to show off again, so he had to follow him and ask, "What's going on?" My Grand Duke of Baratheon? Hearing his inquiry, Robert immediately laughed contentedly and whispered in his ear.

"This banquet has actually been prepared for a long time, but he is not for us, as early as half a month ago, when Uncle Harbert and Sir Crisson heard that the 'Mad King' wanted my life and that Duke Arryn rebelled, they began to gather the vassals of the Stormlands, this banquet was originally used to reward these lords and stabilize them! We just happened to have it! Robert blinked.

"But now this banquet has a new meaning, that is, let me and these vassals get to know each other, and it is great if you want me to say that this is great, so that we can lead the army to set off tomorrow, and the sooner we set off, the sooner we can break through King's Landing and rescue Lyanna!" Robert took a sip of his wine and continued.

"Hanschel, you've just arrived, let me introduce you to my family!" Robert seemed to be in a good mood, and pulled Han Xing and walked towards the main seat.
