Samwell walked through the dark corridors of the Red Keep, contemplating what Petyr "Littlefinger" had just said.

In fact, from Petyr's point of view, Samwell is "his own person",

After all, the two share a "little secret".

Of course, the "own people" in the eyes of Petyr, if necessary, should be betrayed.

And now, as a "rookie" who has just arrived in King's Landing, Petyr will definitely win over first, and it is estimated that he will give Samwell a small favor, so that Samwell will be desperate to charge for him.

But Petyr could never have guessed that Samwell had long been aware of his entire plot and knew that he was the real culprit of Duke Jon Arryn.

This lack of information is Samwell's biggest advantage today.

He must use this to his advantage as much as possible to deal with the most ambitious conspirator in Game of Thrones.

This was the primary purpose of his visit to King's Landing.

This is not only to avenge the fact that he is at the mercy of a pawn, but also a deliberate decision made by Samwell.

The purpose of Littlefinger is the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, so he can fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the situation.

But that's not what Samwell wants to see — at least not what he wants to see right now.

Although chaos is an opportunity for every ambitious person, if you want to fish in troubled waters, or even climb up, you must have enough strength to support it.

And Samwell is now lacking in confidence.

The time he has been out to explore is too short, the castles in the territory have not been fully built, the number of troops is not enough, the attribute panel also needs time to upgrade, and the territory of the Dane family, he has not yet been able to fully control it.

In short, he needs time.

He was short on time, but Littlefinger was still there fanning the flames, forcibly letting Jon Arryn die a year early.

Isn't that equivalent to another year of farming time for Samwell?

Samwell also wants chaos, but he wants small, controllable chaos so that he can have room to play and grab enough benefits.

Like the previous battle of Starfall City, it was perfect.

But if a full-scale war of this scale breaks out in the War of the Five Kings, with Samwell's current strength, he can only follow the Hewan army to fight soy sauce.

At that time, no matter how brave he is in battle, the territory and interests will be inflatable fish, and he will get some flashy "glory" at most.

This kind of loss-making trading is not possible.

So this time he came to King's Landing, in addition to taking revenge on Littlefinger, he also had to try his best to prevent the situation in the Seven Kingdoms from completely collapsing in a short period of time.

Of course, Samwell didn't come to be a peacemaker, he was a careerist himself, but a cautious careerist.

He knew that if he wanted to rise quickly, he needed chaos—chaos within his control.

For example, the Iron Throne's crusade against Dorne is a fitting mess.

Samwell now has a foothold in western Dorne, and already has the foundation to plot Dorne.

But he also knows how difficult it is for outsiders to conquer Dorne, and the Martell family saying "unyielding, unyielding, unyielding" is not a joke.

Therefore, he must use external forces to weaken Dorne as much as possible.

To provoke the Iron Throne against Dorne, the dirty water from Jon Arryn's death must be poured on the Red Viper.

As for saying that this is unfair to the "Red Viper", ...... Samwell has no interest in clearing his name's name, and the Red Viper is not an innocent rabbit and will certainly be a stumbling block in his future conquest of Dorne, so it's best to get rid of it.

However, in this way, Samwell's means of dealing with "Littlefinger" have been somewhat limited, after all, the truth of Jon's death cannot be used against this person, of course, it is not completely impossible, but it needs to be grasped to a degree.

Samwell actually had a rough plan, but he still needed to meet with a few of the key people.

For example, the incoming Hand of the King, Duke Eddard Stark, is so important to Samwell's plans that he must make sure that his style is as rigid as it was in the original books.

Oh yes, and there's an annoying little fly - Hopper Redwin, and Samwell is ready to set up a game to shoot him to death.

As he thought about it, Samwell had already arrived in the garden, and found Margaret talking and laughing with Natalie.

The heads of the two girls are almost together, and their attitudes are extremely intimate, and no one will believe them when they are sisters.

Sitting next to him were the two brothers of the Redwin family.

Horace didn't hang his arms this time, but he looked at the beads of sweat on his forehead and his cheeks twitching from time to time, well, I guess he regrets it now, for the sake of grace, he didn't even want his arms, he was really ruthless.

Hopper had a long neck stretch, and seemed to want to join the conversation between the two young ladies, but he couldn't find an entry point, and anxiety was written on his face.

Next to the two brothers sat Mark Mulendall, the eldest son of Highland City, who looked leisurely and contented, drinking tea and feeding nuts to the monkeys on his shoulders.

"Mountain...... Master Caesar. Natalie was the first to notice Samwell's approach, and wanted to run over to greet him, but she quickly sat down again, and seemed to see that there were many people, and began to pay attention to reserve, and even changed her title to a formal one.

"Sam! Come and sit! "Margaery is still so enthusiastic, and her smile is still so sweet, like a summer rose.

Samwell stepped forward to greet everyone one by one, then sat down next to Natalie and asked:

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about your flaming sword." Margaery grinned and said, "It turned out to be the inheritance greatsword [Dawn] of the Dane family!" It's the first time I've heard of someone using the Inheritance Greatsword as collateral. ”

Looking at Margaery's narrow gaze, Samwell couldn't help but blush, but he still pretended to be calm:

"The main thing is to see that the sword is not used in Starfall City, so I will use it first to avoid wasting."

"That's right." Natalie also nodded again and again, and said, "Sam is very powerful with that sword, it can make the sword burst into flames." ”

"What's so strange about the fire sword?" Huo Bai couldn't help but speak, "The red-robed monks in the free trade city-states on the other side of the Narrow Sea will do this, they will smear wildfire or similar flammable materials on the body of the sword, and after igniting it, intimidate the enemy, in fact, the power is average. ”

Samwell was about to open his mouth to respond, when he heard a male voice in the distance:

"Really average. I once killed a red-robed monk who used a fire sword with my own hands, and that guy's sword burned to the point where it broke on its own. ”

When they turned around, they saw three figures approaching.

The person at the head is none other than Princess Aleen, accompanied by the "Dark Star" Geralt Dayne, and Daemon Shad, the illegitimate son of Divine Grace City.

The two Dorne knights were also captured by the Riverbends during the Battle of Starfall, but were later ransomed by the Martell family.

Samwell was impressed by the "Dark Star" with his black and silver hair.

Because this person is the eldest son of the Viscount of Palung in Gaoyin City, he also contributed the most in the battle of Starfall City last time, and of course the result was the most heavi.

Not only did she fail to inherit Starfall City, but she even lost her hometown of High Hidden City - after Natalie officially became the Earl of Star Fall City, she canonized High Hidden City to Hughes Dane.

So, you don't have to think about it to know that this Geralt Dane must be full of hatred at this time.

It was this person who spoke just now.

"Dorn, why don't you pray at the Great Basilica of Baylor, what are you doing here?" Horace shouted, as if to count the pain of his arm on the heads of the Dorn.

"Yes, this is a gathering of the Riverbenders, and you are not welcome." Mark Mulendale also agreed.

When it comes to dealing with the Dorn, the Riverbends have always been united.

Samwell felt that he should be a little more gregarious, so he also answered:

"Is it because the gods are unwilling to respond to your confession that you run out to find other ways to get rid of your sin?"

"Hahaha......"

In the midst of the laughter, the hot-tempered princess Aleen was rarely lifeless, and the smile on her face was as bright as ever, as if she had not heard the sarcasm of the riverbend people at all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, whether my uncle is guilty or not will be judged by His Majesty himself. As for us, we are here to fulfill the last wish of Duke Jon Arryn before his death, which is peace. ”

Hearing that Princess Arrene had moved Duke Jon out, the Riverbend people stopped laughing.

Samwell looked at the princess of Dorne in front of him, who seemed to be a different person, and was a little surprised in his heart.

Is this a beating, and the personality has changed greatly?

"Your Highness the Princess." Margaery Shiran stood up and said politely, "We have always loved peace, but peace is never based on words, how can you Dorne prove your sincerity?" ”

"The Martell family has acknowledged Count Natalie's rule over Starfall, and this is our greatest sincerity. In addition, Sir Geralt, as a member of the Dane family, is now willing to pledge his allegiance to Miss Natalie. ”

As soon as Princess Alyne finished speaking, Geralt Dane came to Natalie and knelt down and said in a loud voice:

"Dear Miss Natalie Dayne, I, Geralt Dayne, am willing to offer you unparalleled loyalty."

Natalie was a little surprised, but now she was experienced, unlike in the past, when she always went to see Samwell or her mother as soon as she encountered such a situation.

"I accept your allegiance."

Samwell frowned as he watched from the sidelines.

It seems that the Martell family still hasn't given up on Starfall City, talking about peace, but they are doing things mixed with sand.

However, after all, Geralt's surname is Dane, and he swears allegiance in public like this, and Natalie is really not easy to refuse.

As for who this guy is loyal to, it's hard to say.

Samwell felt that he would have to remind Natalie in private later, to be on guard against this person.

After the allegiance ceremony, Geralt did not get up immediately, but took out a pink rose from his arms and brought it to Natalie:

"Miss Natalie, I am dazzled by your beauty, and this rose represents my heart, and I give it to you."

Samwell's brow furrowed even tighter.

Good guy, it's not just mixed with sand, this is just to pick peaches directly!

Natalie was really at a loss this time, not wanting to accept the rose, but embarrassed to refuse a knight who had just sworn allegiance to her.

At this moment, Hopper Redwing spoke:

"Sir Geralt, don't you see that Miss Natalie doesn't like your rose? Don't put the flowers away yet. ”

Geralt's eyes immediately narrowed, and he turned to look at Hopper.

Hopper looked at him without flinching.

The thick smell of gunpowder spread.

Samwell watched this scene from the sidelines, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Look, isn't that the scapegoat here?

It's time to swatt flies.
