276 Kills
Under the gaze of everyone, Margaery finally came to Samwell.
Duke Mace, who was traveling with him, had a complicated complexion, he looked at the handsome and sharp young face in front of him, and there was some inexplicable emotion in his eyes.
Facing his son-in-law, he moved his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and finally just turned his head and said to his daughter, who was dressed up:
"Margaery, I'll walk here with you."
After saying that, Duke Mace's eyes were already red.
"Thank you, father." Margaery gave her father a hug and kissed him on the cheek.
Duke Mace patted his daughter's smooth back, sighed secretly, and finally put her hand in Samwell's hand, and then turned and stepped aside.
Bursting into applause in the sanctuary, Cleopatra let out a low groan of excitement.
The hot breath from his mouth made the rose petals on the ground turn yellow, and he was about to break Margaery's dress, and Samwell quickly turned back and gave it a warning look.
Only then did the white dragon close his mouth slightly aggrieved.
Several girls ran over and began throwing rose petals on their heads.
Samwell took Margaery's hand and walked up the steps side by side with her in the rain of flowers.
Walk towards the statue of the Father and the Virgin.
Towards the testimony of the gods.
"Heavenly Father, Virgin, Warrior, Blacksmith, Maiden, Old Woman, Stranger."
In front of the statue of the Seven Gods, Samwell Caesar and Margaery Tyrell stand opposite each other and take a solemn oath.
"I'm yours," Samwell had never felt that the girl in front of him was so beautiful, almost with a charm that made people dare not look at it directly.
"You are mine," said Margaery, who had never smiled so brightly, had dreamed of becoming a queen since she had been a child, but now that she was married to an earl, she suddenly felt extremely satisfied.
"From today onwards, we will not rest until we die."
The voices of the two echoed in the sanctuary, and under the witness of the seven gods, they gradually blended together, as if they were converging into one voice.
The bishop held a crystal aloft, letting the refracted rainbow light shine on the couple's faces, and said:
"In the witness of the Seven Gods and the world, I solemnly declare that Earl Samwell of the House of Caesar and Miss Margaery of the House of Tyrells are married. From now on, they are one body, one mind, one soul forever. Anyone who interferes in their marriage, will be mercilessly cursed! ”
Cheers and applause rang out again.
To the sound of melodious chants, Samwell untied his cloak, shook it off vigorously, and wrapped it around Margaery.
Indicates that from now on, she will be guarded by him.
Samwell gently tightened his cloak at Margaery's throat, then leaned forward and kissed her deeply.
The cheers grew louder.
The bishop also solemnly declared that the two would be one body, one mind, and one soul.
After the ceremony, two knights, Chiman Huya and Loras Tyrell, opened the way in front of them and led the people out of the Sanctuary and into the banquet hall.
A few light snacks and drinks are prepared, and after a short rest, they will go to the square outside the castle to receive blessings from the commoners of the river.
Taking advantage of this time, Margaery followed the maid to change her clothes and touch up her makeup, and Samwell chatted with the nobles of the river bend in the hall for a while, and his face was almost stiff with laughter, so he found a reason to go to the bathroom and ran out.
Walking casually on a secluded path in the garden, Samwell suddenly saw a figure appear in front of him-
Qingting Island's eldest son, Horace Redwin.
In this wedding, the lord of Qingting Island, Count Paixter, still did not appear, this guy seemed to have disappeared from the world since the Deer Rebellion began.
Maybe he didn't want to meet the members of the horse party, so as not to be embarrassed.
After all, the deliberate indulgence of the Qingting Island fleet during the Iron Min's invasion and the Deer Party rebellion can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
Samwell thought for a moment, and suddenly pulled back his sleeves, revealing the ruby bracelet wrapped around his wrist.
“Lakqumos。”
Horace Redwyn was walking leisurely in front of him, when he suddenly felt the sun suddenly darken, and a vague and strange voice came from behind him.
He turned back and saw the Duke of Metz walking towards him with a smile.
"Horace, why don't you go to the hall for a bite to eat?" Samwell, disguised as an inflatable fish again, asked.
"It's not that I don't want to see the smiling faces of those bastards in the Horse Party." Horace did not hide his resentment at all.
"Ugh—" Samwell looked empathetic, "I see that they're angry, too. ”
Horace smiled and said, "Don't worry, uncle, those people from the Horse Party won't be laughing for long. ”
"What do you mean?" Samwell put on a puzzled look.
"Didn't Lady Olenna tell you? Yes, the fewer people who know about this, the better. Horace wasn't too skeptical.
After all, his uncle was a waste, and Mrs. Olenna probably didn't expect her son to help.
"What's the matter? Is Mother planning something? Was Pexter also involved? Samwell feigned distress, "Oops! You're not going to make trouble again, are you? It's finally settled down, so don't toss. It almost killed me that time—"
"Don't worry, uncle. The previous rebellion, especially the invasion of the Iron People, was really an accident, and my father would not harm his own family no matter what he did. ”
"And what are you going to do this time?"
"Actually, I don't know the specific plan, only that it was against Caesar." Horace spread his hands, as if he really didn't know, "This matter was discussed between my father and Lady Olenna, if you really want to know, you can ask Lady Olena." ”
Samwell cried with a sad face: "What? So what about my daughter? She's just married to Caesar's stinky boy. ”
"That's not right." Horace lowered his voice, "Once Caesar dies, won't Margaery inherit Storm's End and Hawksbill Island?" And I heard that she is pregnant, so she will give birth to a child in the future, and maybe she will be able to control the dragon. ”
"You ...... Kill Caesar? Samwell's mouth opened wide, and the horror in his eyes wasn't all fake.
Horace said with a gloomy face: "Uncle, I really can't blame my father for being ruthless. Do you know how my brother Hopper died? ”
"Hopper?" Samwell's heart stirred, "Didn't he get killed by the Dornites in King's Landing?" ”
"That's what I thought before." Horace gritted his teeth and said, "But recently my father got the news that Horber was killed by Caesar's design!" Dorne's Geralt Dane is nothing more than a scapegoat. ”
"From whom did your father get the news? Is it reliable? Samwell's mind immediately came to mind the fat face of Varys, the "Octopus".
At that time, the intelligence chief was the only one who grabbed his pigtails.
"It's Varys." Horace confirmed Samwell's suspicions, "He tells us that on the day Hopper died, a strange falcon appeared in the sacred wood forest of the Red Keep, and Caesar domesticated an eagle. The boy had a feud with Hopper on his voyage...... In short, he is very suspicious. In fact, my father had long felt that Hopper's death was strange, but he couldn't find tangible evidence. And Varys's letter just confirmed many of his father's speculations, and made him believe that Caesar was the real murderer. ”
"That's why your father was so determined to kill him......"
"Yes." Horace suddenly thought of something and hurriedly reminded, "Oh yes, uncle. Don't tell Margaery about this. Her father said that her mind was full of absurd love thoughts, and it was unreasonable that she eloped with Caesar in the first place. If he knew, he might have revealed it to Caesar. ”
"I know, I won't tell her." Samwell nodded repeatedly, looking naïve.
The two chatted for a while before Samwell found an excuse to leave.
Varys ...... I didn't expect this spider to want to kill itself too.
Samwell wasn't too surprised by this, after all, Varys was the one on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and it was rumored that "Little Griffin", the son of Rhaegar Targaryen, was back on the Iron Throne.
Now that Samwell has the dragon, it seems that he has become an obstacle for "Little Griffin", and it is not surprising that Varys sees the right time to attack him.
I thought that the Deer Party rebellion was over, but I didn't expect it to be just the beginning.
Lady Olenna, Tywin Lannister, Varys, Pexter Redwin, and perhaps Prince Dolan have set up a killing game to attack him.
Father was right, he was still too naïve.
underestimated the dangers of this power game, and underestimated the ruthlessness of the conspirators.
In a no-man's corner, Samwell's disguise fades away, revealing his original face.
The ruby on the wrist had broken into countless fine pieces of powder when it had been used to its maximum number of times.
It flowed from the back of his hand, red as blood.
