I really don't want to.

Samwell replied in his heart.

Although Desmera is indeed very beautiful, and her status is noble enough, if she can marry her now, she will definitely climb high.

But Samwell didn't believe Earl Paxter would be so kind.

Any favor is secretly accompanied by a price, and before accepting it, you must think calmly about whether it will empty your wallet or even make yourself pay it back with your whole life.

Of course, on the surface, Samwell still showed a flattered look: "No one can refuse Miss Desmera's charm, it's just ...... I'm afraid I'm not worthy of your daughter. ”

"You really can't do it now. How could my daughter marry in a barren place like Eagle's Beak? But what if I could help you get your last name back? The castle of the Tully family is still worthy of my daughter. ”

Samwell finally understood Earl Paxter's plan this time.

I have to say that it is indeed a good calculation.

"But Lord Earl, I have changed my surname to Caesar, and the inheritance of Jiaoling has nothing to do with me."

"How can it not matter? As long as you have the blood of the Tully family in your bones, you will always have a claim to the Horn Tomb. You don't have to worry about Randolph Tully's attitude, as long as you marry my daughter, I can help you solve all the other problems. ”

Even though he knew it was a trap, Samwell's heart was pounding.

It's too tempting indeed.

As if as long as he nodded, beauty, wealth, and territory ...... It's all at your fingertips.

But Samwell knows that this is a poisonous apple.

Once he agreed, the method of brewing brandy, the silver ore to be mined, and the barren but extremely critical territory of Eaglespewy Island were probably all in the pocket of the Redwin family.

Even he himself will be a bargaining chip for the Redwin family to plot the inheritance of Jiaoling.

However, on this last point, Samwell really doesn't think the Redwing family has any chance.

Don't look at Count Paxter's beautiful words, what "as long as you go to my daughter, I can help you solve all problems".

Bullshit.

Samwell wants to reinstate Tully's surname, and he has to ask Earl Landau if he agrees.

It may seem that with the support of the Redwyns, it will be easier for Samwell to get his father to change his mind and accept him as the heir to the realm, but in reality, it is quite the opposite.

Randolph Tully is not such an easily fooled character.

In the original book, he betrothed to his second son Deacon, the eldest daughter of the Muton family in Nuquan City.

At that time, the Muton family was at a low point of strength because they were on the wrong side in the Battle of the Five Kings.

Lan Dao let his son marry the daughter of Earl William Murton, with the obvious intention of taking the opportunity to gain control of Female Springs.

Such a powerful lord can only think about annexing others, how can he allow others to reach out to his own territory.

So, if Samwell marries Desmera, it's even less likely that Landau will agree to him as his heir.

Otherwise, it is difficult to say whether the control of the Horn Tomb will be in the hands of the Tully family or the more powerful Redwin family in the future.

"I'm sorry, Lord Earl, I swore in front of my father that I would never return to Jiaoling for the rest of my life." Samwell simply prevaricates with an oath.

When Earl Pexter heard this, the expression on his face did not change much, and he did not seem to care about it at all.

"It's okay." The Qingting Island Lord said lightly, "You and Daismera's children can also go back to the Horn Tomb." ”

The corners of Samwell's mouth twitched.

Of course, he knew that the words uttered by Earl Paxter seemed to be breezy, but in fact they were full of blood.

Under what circumstances can he and Desmera's children have the inheritance of the Horned Tomb?

Of course, his younger brother Deacon's vein is all dead!

He couldn't help but sigh, are these big nobles in Westeros all black in their hearts?

"Lord Earl, may I think about it?" Samwell looked at Davon, who was chatting and laughing with Miss Daismera in the courtyard, and an idea popped into his heart.

Wandering among these black-hearted nobles, Samwell felt that he couldn't be too "little white sheep", and some small means that did not touch the bottom line still had to be used, otherwise they would be eaten and wiped clean by these people sooner or later.

"Yes, but I hope you can get back to me soon." Earl Paxter drained the glass of wine, "Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to promise the Lannisters." ”

I believe you're a ghost.

Samwell looked out the window at Davon, who was used by Earl Pexter as his rival, and deliberately put on an anxious expression, "Okay, I will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible." ”

The Earl of Paxter then ended the meeting and left in a hurry.

The butler, who was waiting outside the door, took Samwell to the arranged room.

After a brief tidying up, Samwell went out the door and walked towards the courtyard he had seen earlier.

Since Earl Pixter wanted his daughter to marry him so much, Samwell felt that he had to do his duty as a "potential fiancé" to Desmera.

If you act, you have to play a full set.

"Sam!" As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw Daismera waving her arm enthusiastically at her, "Are you done talking to your father?" ”

"Yes, Miss Daismera." Samwell politely said, "I hope my presence doesn't disturb you." ”

"Of course not. Come and sit down. ”

Davon Lannister's face sank slightly when he first met Samwell.

The instinct of the male creature made him feel a sense of crisis.

Especially when he heard Daismera affectionately call each other, his wariness of Samwell turned into hostility.

Still, he maintained his demeanor, got up and asked:

"Miss Desmera, who is this?"

"Sir Davon, let me introduce you, this is the eldest son of the Earl of Horning Landau, the pioneer knight canonized by the Duke of Metz, Samwell Caesar. Sam, this is Sir Davon of the Lannisters. ”

Samwell, of course, heard the difference between Desmera and Davonne when she called herself, which made him feel that the count's daughter in front of him was quite "green tea", because he was afraid that he would not be able to fight with Davonne, right?

But fortunately, without this green tea lady fanning the flames on the side, he alone may not be sure to anger the little lion on the other side.

"Pioneer Knight?" Davon smiled, and although he tried his best to hide it, the hostility in his eyes was still unmistakable, "I wonder where Sir Caesar's pioneer is located?" ”

"Eagle's Beak Island, a barren place deep in the Crimson Mountains, is certainly not as good as the majestic and rich Kaiyan City." Samwell sat down at the small table and said humbly.

"Hawksbill Island isn't bad." Desmera poured Samwell a cup of flower tea with her own hands, "I heard there's a silver mine there, isn't it, Sam?" ”

Davonne looked at Daismera, who was almost in Samwell's arms, and his eyes were about to erupt with fire:

"Silver mines, not bad. However, compared to the gold mines in Kaiyan City, it is still a lot worse. ”

"It really can't be compared." Samwell smiled and drank the flower tea, "I've heard that the people of the Lannister family are made of gold. ”

Boom!

Davon slammed the table, and then he got up, his hair open, like an angry lion:

"Samwell Caesar, dare you dare to compete with me in the martial arts arena!"
