It had only been a week since she had been away from Zivignie, but Stannis felt that several lives had passed in a trance, and when he saw the ugly castle in the familiar forest, his tears flowed with emotion.

Lady Romon and Knight Captain Korodov, who had already received the news, stood at the end of the road to greet Stannis, and when they saw these two men who were always despised by him, Stannis jumped off their horses and gave them the hardest hug.

Robert on the side said sourly, "It's all like this, and I'm embarrassed to say that I'm ......."

Stannis stroked the hands of the two and sighed, his eyes filled with tears, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that I would still have the day to see you alive!"

"My lord, needless to say, we all know the hardships encountered in this battle, and the epic battle with that group of monsters will be remembered by future generations!"

Stannis, who was just about to complain about his bitterness, choked back his words a little dazed, "Hey, how do you know that I met a monster this time?"

Maester Romon took out a piece of gold paper from his bosom and said, "We received a commendation from Duke Garcia yesterday afternoon, in which they highly praised you and the other knights for their brave battles, and in the face of monsters several times their own, not only did they not panic, but they also organized a counterattack and successfully eliminated them, which is really a model among my generation. ”

"Alright, alright, don't read it!" Stannis's face turned red in embarrassment, he didn't expect Duke Garcia to take the initiative to take them and praise them directly in front of all the lords, using this attitude to show that he was on the side of supporting them, and the dead would not speak anyway.

"You don't really believe what he says, do you?" Stannis became the same person who despised them again.

Korodov was surprised and said, "Is that still fake?" You know, the Golden Silk Commendation is the highest honor in the Duchy of Tanis, and many knights spend their lives just to get this piece of paper to have a good look in front of other nobles.

Stannis shook his head, are the heads of people in these fantasy worlds filled with cement?

"You guys, Navie!"

With that, he led Romon and Korodov into the small room of the castle.

After telling the story along the way, the two guys who were still being played around realized that all this was the duke's conspiracy.

"I didn't expect Garcia to be this kind of person!" said Maester Romon in a tone of sudden realization.

Korodov also smacked his mouth, it turned out that under all this glory there was such a dirty secret.

"The Duke launched this expedition to deliberately destroy you, but it's a bit too ostentatious!" "Bachelor Romon actually has a little doubt, if you want to eliminate the people who are against you, you can eliminate them one by one, why bother to mobilize the people like this, and if you take such a big risk to send them on the road, but they like Stannis escape back, isn't it a blatant reversal?

"That's not it!" Stannis crossed his legs, clutching the roast rabbit leg and munching on it, which Chef Cook had specially prepared for him, because he really couldn't spare his mouth to speak, he gestured and asked Robert to lead him to speak.

The younger brother coughed twice, imitated Stannis's form and began to talk about conspiracy theories, "So this is where Garcia's old thing is clever! He first sent us to die, if we all hung up it would be the best, even if we were lucky enough to escape a few, it was nothing more than against him because of the great loss of strength, at this time, he did not pinch our circle into a square, square into a triangle. Coupled with the fact that he is now issuing a commendation order, so many lords who don't know the truth really think that he has nothing to do with this matter. ”

Stannis nodded incessantly, what the kid was saying now won his heart, "However, he miscalculated a little. ”

"What is it!" shouted Maester Romon and Korodov in unison.

"That is, he has personally erected an invisible and powerful enemy for himself. ”

"Enemy?" shouted the two guys, as if they were inexplicable.

"Forcing together a plate of scattered and scattered lords has forced us to hold together. And after this screening, those who survive will be the backbone of the rebellion against Garcia, and our Duke may have miscalculated. "Stannis is like a stroll.

Robert looked at him with admiration, but he still sang in a contrarian tone, "Boss, although I think you are very handsome to talk like this, but you are touching your belly with oil in your mouth, and you are talking about the truth in it, and the image contrast is a bit big." ”

"Alright, this is all my nonsense, now you guys get out of here, I'm going to get some good sleep!" Stannis had already driven his men out.

"Isn't it, sleep here?" said Robert, suspiciously, pointing to the small dark room that had been used to discuss the conspiracy, and said suspiciously, except for a table and a fireplace, there was not even a quilt.

"So let me get a quilt!" Stannis patted his ass and pushed all three of his men out.

Still unwilling to turn around, Master Romon shouted, "But my lord, you have been away from the territory for so long, but there are many things that need to be solved urgently, such as the lack of farm tools for those newly settled refugees, the construction of the wharf has now been suspended, and the leakage of the mill needs to be repaired by manpower......"

But Stannis said yes, but his hand was still pushing the old man out, "I know, I know, I'll solve these annoying things when I get a good night's sleep!"

"By the way, Miss Anister sneaked out to find you once!"

"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and the door of the small black room was slammed shut.

Stannis turned, and the room, which had no windows and only ventilation ports, was dark except for the little sparks that had been lit in the stove.

But this small space gave Stannis a sense of security, he had been walking on the empty snowfield for too long, and he was used to seeing killing, and he desperately needed a place to put his heart.

Even lock the betrayer out of the room.

He swept the cups and plates on the table to the ground and lay down on them, looking at the ceiling with his hands on the pillow, and it was dark before him.

The body that was already covered in bruises could finally relax.

In the darkness, the crisp sound of a woman's laughter came from afar.

Stannis turned his head and looked into the darkness as if someone was standing there.

Finally, he spoke.

"So, Sasha, will you betray me too?"
