The appearance of the dragon caused the banquet hall to fall silent suddenly.

But in the next second, it exploded again.

Count Orton's face changed drastically, and he roared:

"Action!"

The side door of the banquet suddenly opened, and the crossbowmen tried to rush in.

And at this moment, Samwell let go of Lady Tanya, rushed forward, and ordered:

"Dragon Flame!"

An orange-red flame erupted from the white dragon's mouth and slammed into the side door, burning the few crossbowmen who had just rushed in to charcoal.

Raging flames blocked the side door, preventing the crossbowmen of the House of Marry Weiss from stepping forward.

Samwell had flipped over the long table in front of him, and among the splashes of food and utensils, he grabbed a knife and slammed it against Earl Orton's throat.

"Lord Orton, if you don't want to die, let your men stop."

"Stop! Stop it! Feeling the stinging pain of the sharp knife against his throat, Earl Orton sensibly shouted an order.

The people of the Marevis family had long been frightened by the dragon, and after hearing the lord's order, they were relieved and put down their weapons.

The horsemen who followed Samwell realized that something was wrong, and they all broke out in a cold sweat, put down their knives and forks, and began to curse.

Foul language such as riverbend traitors and Lannister dogs filled the hall.

"Alright." Samwell began, "Go and open the gates of the city and let our army in." ”

As he spoke, he kicked out Russell Mariweis, the only son of the Count, who was trying to get under the table, and said:

"Take this kid with you, in case the defenders of the city gate can't figure out the situation."

"Yes." Garth Hightower strode forward, took the crying Russell in his hand, and walked out.

A dozen or so knights of the bend followed.

Silence returned to the hall.

Everyone was a little overwhelmed by this upheaval.

Only Cleopatra poked her head out and picked up the roast meat on the long table, and ate it to herself.

"Master Caesar......" Lady Tanya leaned over cautiously, "it was all Lannister's idea......

"Yes, yes, yes!" Earl Layton immediately said, "The Lannisters forced us to do it. Jerlo Hishan's kid is next door right now, and you're going to have to catch him! ”

Samwell winked at Sir Hale Hunt.

Sir Hale understood, and immediately took a few men to the next door.

The group of crossbowmen there were now overwhelmed by the dragon flame, and when they saw Sir Hale, they pointed to the open door and said:

"My lord, Geralt Hishan has already run away."

Sir Hale came back to his life, but Samwell didn't care: "He can't run." ”

There was a roar outside, sounding like the gate drawbridge being lowered, followed by the sound of a large force of cavalry entering the city.

Samwell knew that the situation was settled, and he no longer put his knife against the throat of the Earl of Layton.

Count Leighton was relieved, cleared his throat, and said cautiously:

"Master Caesar...... The Maryweiss family is willing to surrender, and I ask you to ...... Benevolence ......"

Samwell ignored him, found a leg of lamb from the pile of food that had not fallen to the ground, and nibbled on it.

Seeing this, Mrs. Tanya hurriedly poured a glass of red wine with her own hands and handed it over.

Samwell didn't pick it up, causing the woman to stand awkwardly and not dare to put her glass down.

When a leg of mutton had been nibbled, Chiman Huya led the soldiers into the hall.

"Lord Caesar, the castle has been taken under our control."

"There's an illegitimate son of the Lannisters, don't let him run."

"You've been caught, do you want to see it?"

"Bring it with you."

Cheman waved behind him, and soon a young man with long blond hair was escorted over.

Because he was shot with an arrow in the calf when he ran away just now, he was limping at this moment.

"Geralt Hishan?" Samwell asked, "Tell me which of the Riverbend nobles the Lannisters have co-opted, and I can spare your life." ”

Geralt sneered, "First of all, I don't know all of Lord Tywin's plans, and, even if I did, I wouldn't tell you!" ”

"Good. I just like lions with backbone. Samwell paused, "Oh no, you shouldn't be a lion, at least Tywin won't admit you." ”

Geralt's face changed slightly, but he still said disdainfully, "Don't do this kind of provocative little tricks, Caesar, you don't want anything from me." ”

"Not necessarily." Samwell smiled and stood up, finally taking the glass from Lady Tanya's hand, but at the same time handed her a dinner knife.

Lady Tanya was holding a dinner knife, a little unclear.

Samwell pointed at Geralt Sheshan and said:

"Lady Tanya, the time has come to prove your loyalty."

Lady Tanya came to her senses, and her face turned pale in an instant.

Samwell said leisurely: "I told you before, as long as you are obedient, I will reward you with a castle." But if you don't cherish ...... yourself."

Lady Tanya finally gritted her teeth and stepped forward.

Geralt Hishan tried to struggle, but Cheman grabbed him, held his head down, and exposed his neck.

Lady Tanya took a few deep breaths, but she still couldn't calm her frantic heartbeat.

She was actually just a commoner in Mill City on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and the reason why she was able to marry Earl Orton was entirely because the Marry Weiss family was at their most depressed.

Earl Owen's grandfather, Earl Owen Marryweiss, was the Hand of King Aerys of the Mad King, and during the War, due to the ineffective counterinsurgency, the Mad King deposed several kings one after another, and Earl Owen was one of them.

After being deposed, the grandson of Mariweiss went into exile in the city of Mill, where he met Tanya.

At that time, the Marry Weiss family was extremely depressed, not only lost their official positions, but also lost their family fiefs and titles, which can be said to be extremely miserable.

Although Tanya is a commoner, because of her outstanding appearance, marrying a wealthy merchant or even a minor nobleman is not a problem, but she married Orton Marryweiss despite the dissuasion of her family, believing that this exiled nobleman will eventually rise again.

Later, Robert Baratheon ascended to the Iron Throne, and sure enough, the fortunes of the Marevis family were reversed, and they reclaimed their titles and fiefdoms.

And Tanya's "investment" has also paid off handsomely.

This ambitious Mill woman understands that at the critical moment, you must dare to gamble!

Looking at the white dragon feasting on the long table, Lady Tanya felt that this time she would be able to make the right bet!

With a low roar, the Mill woman slammed forward and stabbed the knife in her hand into Geralt Hishan's neck.

Blood gushed out and splashed the woman's face.

The knife was not sharp, and Lady Tanya did not have much strength, and Geralt Shishan was not dead after this knife, writhing like a fish out of water.

Fortunately, Cheman helped to press it, so he didn't break free.

"Pull down again." Cheman kindly reminded the woman.

Lady Tanya didn't dare to open her eyes at all, but she gritted her teeth and pulled hard.

The dinner knife finally cuts the trachea, giving the illegitimate son of the Lannister family a relief.

"Good." Samwell clapped his hands, "Lady Tanya, the Tableburger is your reward. ”

Lady Tanya's two long legs were still trembling slightly, and she turned her head in confusion.

But Earl Orton understood what Samwell was hinting at, and was so frightened that he ran away.

Whoosh –

A sharp arrow shot out and struck the Earl of Orton in the back.

Lady Tanya's eyes widened as she jerked her bloody hand over her mouth.

Samwell stepped forward and patted the woman on the shoulder, and said:

"I remember your son was only six years old, right?"

Lady Tanya nodded sheepishly.

"That's good." Samwell declared, "Now that Lord Orton has died, according to the law, Countess Tanya Mareweiss, you are the master of the Tableburgh until your son reaches adulthood." ”

Hearing this, Lady Tanya's gaze regained focus.

A sudden rush of ecstasy swept over her heart, dispelling the fear, and Lady Tanya finally recovered, and a blush appeared on her pretty face.

"Yes, Lord Caesar!" Lady Tanya bowed respectfully, "I will surely remember your grace and be loyal to you forever!" ”

Samwell smiled and reminded, "The Marryweiss family's allegiance is to the Tyrells. ”

"Yes." Lady Tanya smiled charmingly, "I will be loyal to the Tyrells as well. ”

This time Samwell didn't correct it again, and instead asked:

"Where's Lady Olena?"

"Please follow me."
