308 Faith
The food in front of her was already cold, but Loras Tyrell still didn't have any appetite.
He stared at the candle flame on the table with blank and empty eyes, as if there was something mysterious and mysterious inside, which made him deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
Until the door was opened.
Loras's gaze finally turned away from the candlelight, but his vision blurred from staring at the light for so long.
It took a lot of effort to see who was coming.
"Caesar...... Loras said, voice like from another world.
"I'll tell you a message." Samwell began, "Lady Olenna has poisoned herself. β
Loras thought he would yell, rage and rage, and even rush at the man in front of him desperately, but in fact, at this time, he fell into a state of confusion.
A feeling that even he couldn't explain came over him like a tide, making it impossible for him to breathe, to think, to act.
Perhaps anticipating this outcome, Loras didn't even feel much sadness.
Samwell waited for a long time, but did not see any reaction from the other party, so he spoke again:
"I have a pact with Garth Tyrell that I will spare your life if Lady Olenna kills herself and the High Court surrenders. However, you must travel to the Wall of Desperation and become a night watchman. From then on, he will not be knighted, he will not marry a wife, and he will not have children. β
After waiting for a long time, Loras asked in a vague tone:
"What if I don't want to be a night watchman?"
Samwell's face suddenly became gloomy, and his tone became as hard as iron:
"Then I'm sorry, I'll arrange a decent death for you."
Loras smiled bitterly and said:
"Actually, it's not that I don't want to go to the Great Wall, it's just that I ...... Before you go, can you let me fulfill a wish? I promise, it's good for you too. β
"What wish?" Samwell asked patiently.
"Avenge Lord Lanli." Loras said word by word, finally having some expression on his face, and the flame of hatred danced in his eyes.
Samwell raised his eyebrows: "It was Prince Dolang who killed Lanli Baratheon, and this person has been dying for a short time, so this revenge has been avenged, you better obediently go and guard the Great Wall." β
"Caesar, why would you lie to me?" Loras shook his head and said, "It was Tywin Lannister who killed Lord Lanli, and Prince Doran was just a scapegoat. β
"So you want to seek revenge on Tywin?"
"Yes." Loras said, "As long as I flee to King's Landing, the Lannisters will never suspect my hatred for you, and I can also look for an opportunity to get close to Tywin and avenge Lord Lanli!"
Killing Tywin is good for you, isn't it? And as soon as Tywin dies, I will immediately put on my black robe and go to the Great Wall, and I will never touch the inheritance of the High Court. β
Samwell sneered:
"You think I'll believe you?"
"I can swear under the gaze of the Seven Gods."
"I don't believe in the oath of a traitor."
Loras was silent for a moment, and finally spoke again:
"I know that you sent me to the Wall of Desperation because you didn't want the Tyrell lineage to continue through me, but I'll tell you the truth, I like men, I can't ...... with women combined, and unable to have children. β
Samwell still shook his head:
"But as long as you have a second child, someone else can find you a wife and have a childβwhether that child is yours or not, but nominally, he is the heir of the High Court."
"Then I'll cut it!" Loras gritted his teeth.
"What did you say?" Samwell was stunned for a moment.
"I said, if I castrate myself, will you be able to let me go for revenge?"
After a pause, Samwell said:
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Sure."
"Tywin isn't that easy to fool. Maybe you won't be trusted at all, and you won't even have the chance to be assassinated. "And even if you succeed in the assassination, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to survive the revenge of the Lannisters." Instead, it's wiser to head to the Great Wall. β
"But that's not the option I wanted." Loras said firmly, "Even if I fail, I have to try, otherwise, I will live in regret for the rest of my life." β
Samwell looked at Loras for a moment, finally realizing that the other party had indeed made up his mind.
"With an attendant like you, Lan Li should also be blinded." Samwell said quietly, then turned to leave.
It wasn't long before he returned with his bachelor of science.
"Sir Loras, I heard you need a little help?" Bachelor said with a smile, his eyes playful.
"Yes." Loras looked at the short knife in his opponent's hand, and a hint of flinching flashed in his heart, but he quickly regained his firmness.
He came to the bed and lay down on his back, and said, "Excuse me." β
Seeing Cobain hand over a cup, Loras sniffed it and knew that it was poppy milk.
With a sip of it, Loras lay down again.
Samwell also remained in the house, apparently to witness Loras's castration.
Bachelor Koben placed the dagger on the candle flame and burned it slowly.
Loras felt the effects of the medicine work, and everything in her vision began to ghost, her hands and feet became numb, and her head became heavier.
In a trance, Loras seemed to see Lan Li again, the handsome and dashing Duke of Storm's Breath.
He had believed that this man would become the wisest and wisest king of the Seven Kingdoms, but who knew that the gods had allowed such a near-perfect man to die in the city of Yang Halberd.
Therefore, after returning from Halberd City, he has always supported Caesar because he is an enemy of the Lannisters.
Until the order of the grandmother......
Loras couldn't disobey her grandmother's orders, but now her grandmother is dead too.
He was finally able to live on his own terms.
Loras saw Bachelor Coburn approach, took off his pants, and a burning pain came from his lower body.
Perhaps because of the poppy milk, the pain was lighter than expected.
It was far less painful than the pain he felt when he saw Lan Li die in his arms.
"Sleep in peace." The voice of a bachelor in his ears rang out.
Then Samwell's voice rang out again:
"After the army is launched, the guards of the wine hall will be relaxed, and tomorrow night, someone will come to take you out of the city."
"Okay." Loras answered, and then heard the door shut.
Darkness came like a tidal wave, swallowing away his consciousness.
Out of the door, Bachelor Coben whispered:
"Your Majesty, it's possible that Loras is lying. Maybe he didn't want to avenge Lan Li, but for Lady Olena and the Tyrells. The revenge is not Lord Tywin, but you. β
"Yes." Samwell's face didn't change at all, "But I don't have many enemies. Anyway, after he was castrated, he could no longer pass on the bloodline for the Tyrells, and he had lost his greatest threat to me, so it didn't matter if he killed him or not.
On the contrary, I really want to know if this person's feelings for Lan Li are so sincere. In these bad times, there are few such things anymore. β
"That's right." The bachelor also sighed with emotion, "oath, loyalty, glory, chivalry...... It's all about to become a legendary thing, rarer than dragons. β
"The dragon has returned, and there will be more to come." Samwell said, "As for chivalry, we'll see." β

On the south bank of the Bab el-Mandeb River, a mighty army is slowly moving westward.
The fluttering flag on an orange background bears three black castles β the coat of arms of the Peck family.
Count Titus Peck looked at the sun and said to the herald:
"Pause and make a fire to cook. Set off again in an hour. β
"Yes, sir."
As the order was delivered, the Peck army stopped by the river.
The Earl of Peck sat by the campfire, took the oatmeal cooked by his attendants, and was about to start eating when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching from behind.
Not long after, Caesar's attendant, Noah Rowan, strode up and said:
"Lord Peck, there is a riot in the High Court, and His Majesty Caesar orders you to rush to stabilize the situation immediately!"
Hearing this, Count Peck immediately jumped up from the ground, and did not care if the oatmeal in his hand was knocked over.
"Quick! Fast! Launched! Go to the High Court! Earl Peck exclaimed.
The herald was a little stunned: "My lord, the soldiers have just sat down, and they haven't had time to eat ...... yet."
"Eat a fart!" The Earl of Peck waved his horsewhip viciously, "If you let the inflatable fish escape, see that I don't skin you!" β
The herald hurriedly replied, "Yes, my lord! β
The Count of Peck turned on his horse, and without looking back, he exclaimed:
"Rush, rush, rush! Target High Court! High Court! β
The army on the banks of the Mande River immediately boiled, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a black torrent and rushed towards the High Court.
