28 Dragonstone Island

Since leaving King's Landing, the slightly murky waters of Blackwater Bay have become clearer and clearer, and the long-sailing ship named Rove has sped off into the distance thanks to the efforts of many sailors.

However, relying on these forced sailors is not a long-term solution after all, Ed acted very cautiously, so he ordered the ships to travel not outside Blackwater Bay to the northern port, but the exit of Blackwater Bay outside King's Landing - Dragonstone Island.

"I wanted to tell Robert that none of his children were his own, but he died suddenly, which must have escaped the arrangement of the vicious queen of the Lannisters, hateful." A hint of anger flashed on Ed's face, but his tone was surprisingly low, "Robert has no heirs, his younger brother Stannis deserves to inherit the throne, and Dragonstone is the territory of His Majesty Stannis, not far from King's Landing, so I just took this opportunity to meet with him." ”

"Discuss how to take down that stinking capital?"

"Maybe, it's just that I'm confessing my sins in front of everyone, and some things won't be too much to say." Ed said, shaking his head helplessly.

Although he confessed at that time because his daughter was forced to threaten him, he still couldn't mind it.

"You're not really guilty, and you're beaten backβ€”" Charles had barely finished his words when he heard a trail of footsteps approaching behind him. He turned his head to see a girl named Sansa walking slowly.

"Father." The maiden curtsied at Eddard and politely saluted Charles, "Sir Cranston." ”

【Sansa. Stark, daughter of the Duke of the North, she is between 13-15 years old]

A message flashed under her eyes, and when she looked at it, the girl named Sansa had long thick maroon hair, a pair of clear blue eyes like a boat in the sea, a slender and graceful figure, and a very beautiful appearance.

Charles felt that she was very different from the TV series he remembered, but he couldn't remember how much difference there was, and instead of pondering the vague impression, it was better to accept her "new" image at the moment.

Sansa is a very beautiful girl, but Charles can't stand her kind of look that she says everything and prefers to talk to the tomboy Arya.

It's a pity that after his father was rescued, the tomboy was relaxed, but he fell ill and is still lying in a room on the ship.

"If you still come to thank me, you don't have to say anything, your dad just thanked me." After the girl finished greeting him, she always looked at him and stopped, which made Charles a little speechless, so she responded with a hanging look.

This tone, in line with his languid appearance half-leaning against the railing, was not at all the solemn of the noble knights, but rather like a prodigal bard.

Of course, this is mainly a matter of his appearance, and if he is ugly and sloppy in his dress, then the romantic adjective bard may be replaced by a playful second-rate person......

After two days of sailing, everyone on the ship had long been accustomed to his casual appearance, and Ed, who strictly adhered to the rules of etiquette, was not used to it, but Charles had said that this was the aristocratic tradition of their side, so he didn't say much, but secretly felt strange - "Where would the aristocratic class be so casual?" ”

……

"No, I'm just out to breathe." The girl responded to Charles's words, smiling with a subtle and heartfelt smile, "They say Dragonstone is coming. ”

Seemingly happy to be away from King's Landing, the little girl was smiling all day long, and every time she met Charles, she would put on a look of gratitude, making one wonder how much pressure she was under in King's Landing.

In response to her words, Ed said with a serious expression, "We may stay there for one night, and when we arrive, you take care of your sister." ”

"Maybe we should ask the Bachelor from Dragonstone to see her?"

"As far as I know, Maester Clison is very old, and I am not sure if he still has the ability to heal people."

"Maybe the school city will send a new bachelor......

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

As we chatted, the foggy sea level gradually revealed the appearance of an island, which was not very large as far as the eye could see, but there was a harbor and a small fishing village behind it on the edge.

Behind the fishing village, there is a small mountain that looks like a dark shadow from the boat. On the side of the Shadow Mountain, a huge castle stands silently.

The castle at the end of the line of sight looks slightly larger than a normal castle, and as the ships get closer, the sharp dragon-shaped towers inside the castle are a novelty.

Compared to the Red Keep in King's Landing, this castle seems to be a little more imposing.

As the destination approached, the Rove was moving faster and faster, and the oarsmen at the bottom slid their long wooden oars desperately, as if there was some treasure waiting for them in front of them.

In fact, there was no treasure, but Ed had promised to let them go as soon as they arrived at their destination and give them a labor fee, so the sailors were very impatient when they saw that the end was approaching.

So, the island, which should have taken half a day to reach, was already there in only three hours.

Under the command of the port management, the Rove docked at the harbor, and the group of people on board carried various items down the stairs to the wooden bridge of the harbor.

Rarely, there are already people waiting there, and there are quite a few!

A group of well-dressed, neatly dressed middle-aged and elderly people, surrounded by an old-fashioned man with a straight waist and a short beard, were saluting the group.

It is not without reason to say that he is old-fashioned, the one who takes the lead seems to have a similar personality to Ed, with a blank face, as if others owe him money, but unlike Ed, his face is tighter, and with his tough and angular facial features, it looks like a stone.

"A bald stone man." Charles commented on this secretly.

As Ed limped closer, the leader seemed to have something to say, but didn't speak immediately.

As he approached, Ed opened his mouth to speak, when a mad scream suddenly sounded from the crowd, interrupting what he was about to say.

"It's all fog, it's all fog, bigger than the sea, deeper than the sea, you can't see it, you can't see it, you can't see it, oh oh~ he's damned, he's damned!"

kept shouting, the serious atmosphere quietly dissipated, and the leader's eyelids jumped, and then he looked at the side expressionlessly.

The plainly dressed, gray-bearded half-old knight beside him nodded awkwardly, then turned around and left, dragging the fat man who shouted that he was dressed as a clown.

A little girl with a yin and yang face looked at Ed and his party in fear, and also trotted away.

It seems to be just a farce, and the little waves quietly subside, and no one cares much about it.

Eddard's gaze returned to the leader, and he met it for a moment, then lowered his head slightly.

"His Majesty Stannis"

As soon as these words came out, most of the people gathered in the harbor showed a smile, but the long-faced bald man at the head was still expressionless, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Why do you still call me Your Majesty when you have recognized Joffrey as the Lord of the Iron Throne?" ”

Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned.

Many people behind him were silent, and a handsome middle-aged man with long bright blonde hair couldn't help but say, "My lord, that's just Lord Ed's words of bending into a move, and I can't count them." ”

"I didn't ask you!" The bald man's eyes were horizontal, and the middle-aged man closed his mouth stupidly.

"As the guardian of the northern border, I really didn't hold on to my honor, and I hope that Your Majesty will atone for your sins." Ed replied in a low voice. I don't have the slightest idea of defending myself.

Stannis softened his tone.

"You've put yourself very low, when you and Robert were talking and laughing in King's Landing, I was eating dead rats in this place where birds don't."

As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to find that Charles was staring at him thoughtfully, and couldn't help but squint slightly, and then said, "I don't have much hair. ”

As soon as these words came out, the wind temporarily shifted its target, and a pair of eyes immediately focused on the young man standing beside Ed. Curiosity, hostility, wariness, or fear.

Stannis, a big-eared woman beside him seemed to be deeply hostile to the Charles, and when she saw her husband speak, she immediately shouted, "Cultists should never set foot on this island!" ”

Her tone was very unkind, and judging from the position she was standing, her status here might not be low.

However, as soon as these words came out, the bald duke, who had always had a long face, glanced at her angrily.

"Madame is tired. Send her back to rest. ”

Ignoring the protesting woman, he glanced at Charles casually, then shifted his gaze to a woman in a fiery red robe beside him, his tone cold and inaudible.

"Lady Melisandre, please treat us as a wizard guest."

As soon as he said this, everyone around him looked strange.
