Samwell woke up to a cacophony of roars.

Push open the window to let the brilliant morning light shine in, and at the same time make the roar clearer:

"Revenge! Revenge! ”

"Revenge of Ellenwood!"

"Take up arms! Kill Martell! ”

……

Samwell's room was on the top floor of the castle, and through the windows, the angry crowd could be seen surrounding the castle, shouting incessantly.

It seems that the news of Princess Arlene's poisoning of the Ellenwood family last night has spread throughout the city, and at such a fast speed, it is difficult to say that no one is contributing to it.

And so many people ran outside the castle early in the morning to shout for revenge, to say that no one organized, Samwell did not believe it.

Last night's bloody dinner nearly cut off the Ellenwood family's bloodline, and it was clear that some people saw the opportunity and couldn't wait.

Samwell got dressed, pushed open the door, and as soon as he walked out, he saw a dozen or so heavily armed armored knights standing outside.

The leader looked to be in his twenties, with brilliant blonde hair, and blue eyes churning with raging anger, and immediately knelt down on one knee when he saw Samwell, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, Arrene Martell has violated the sacred rights of his guests by poisoning his master's banquet, something that the gods will repudiate! The Ellenwood family will never put up with this!

The blood debt must be paid in blood!

Your Majesty, please allow us to lead our army to Pingyang Halberd City and use the blood of the Martells clan to pay tribute to the innocent and dead Ellenwood! ”

"Blood debt and blood payment!" The knights behind this man also knelt on the ground and roared angrily.

Samwell quietly looked at the knight at the head and asked:

"You are?"

"He is the illegitimate son of the Earl Anders Ellenwood, Sir Olifa Shard." A voice came from the back of the crowd.

Samwell looked up and saw Maester Yorn of House Ellenwood approaching, holding a little girl in her early teens.

Olifa Shad glanced back at the Bachelor, his gaze moved slightly, and said:

"Yes, I'm just an illegitimate child, but I've got Ellenwood blood in my veins! Now that Count Cletus and all the other lords have died tragically, it is of course my duty to avenge them! ”

"The blood of the Ellenwood family has not been severed, and it is not your turn to take this responsibility." As he spoke, Maester Jon pushed the little girl in front of him and introduced him to Samwell, "Your Majesty, this is the youngest daughter of Earl Anders Ellenwood, Miss Guannesse, and the first rightful heir to the city of Ellenwood. ”

"Your Majesty Caesar." Guan Nisse curtsied.

She was small and thin, with black eyes, brown hair, and a pitiful look.

"Miss Guannesse," Samwell smiled gently at her, "I am sorry for the tragic death of your family. In this situation, what do you think you should do as the last bloodline of the Ellenwood family? ”

"I, I'm ......," Guan Nisse bowed her head timidly, "I don't know. Your Majesty, what do you think should be done? I listen to you. ”

Samwell pointed to the angry crowd outside the castle and said:

"I think you should listen to the voices of the people of House Ellenwood."

Of course Guan Nisse heard it, and it was all angry cries, cries of revenge.

"I see, Your Majesty." She bit her lip and nodded vigorously, as if she had made up her mind with difficulty, "The Martell family must pay for their actions!" Blood debt and blood repayment! ”

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Olifa Shad and the others who were kneeling on the ground, and ordered:

"Sir Olifa, as the daughter of Earl Anders Ellenwood and the sole legitimate heir of Ellenwood City, I order you to lead an army to attack the city of Halberd, and capture all Martel, who blasphemed the gods and killed the nobles of Dorne, so that they can be judged by His Majesty Caesar!"

Hearing this, Maester John stopped talking.

Sir Olifa glanced at Samwell, and seeing that the other party did not object, he clasped one hand on his chest and said:

"Yes, Miss Guannesse!"

With that, he got up and left, and the knights followed, the steel armor clattering as he walked.

"Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?" Guan Nisse asked respectfully.

Samwell glanced thoughtfully at the little girl and said:

"Countess Natalie Dayne is on her way here, so I'll stay in Ironwood for a few days, and I'll trouble you in the meantime."

"No trouble." Guan Nisse hurriedly said, "It is a great honor for the Ellenwood family to be able to entertain you. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask. ”

"Okay."

Guan Nisse then saluted and left, and turned to leave.

Maester Yorn also saluted Samwell and took his leave, following Guan Nisse. After walking out for a while, the old bachelor asked in a low voice:

"Miss Guannesse, you shouldn't have let Olifa Shad lead the army, let alone agree to send him to Halberd City."

"I know your concerns." Guan Nisse smiled, her eyes flashing with a mature light that did not match her age,

"I also know that I shouldn't send troops to Yang Halberd City. No matter how heinous Princess Arrene may be, once we have the blood of the Martell on our hands, it will be impossible for House Ellenwood to hold the authority of Dorne.

But Maester Yorne, now the Ellenwood family has no choice. It's not that I want to send troops to Halberd City to slaughter the Martell family, but His Majesty Caesar wants to do so. I had to do what he wanted.

What's more, it's not a good thing to be too ambitious. My brother just didn't understand this and ended up like this......"

When Master Yorn heard this, his heart was shocked.

He was present at the banquet last night, and saw with his own eyes that the Count of Cletus drank the poisoned wine, but Caesar did not.

At that time, he thought that Caesar was just out of caution, and he saw that the other people were not in the right state after drinking, but now that he thinks about it, I am afraid that Caesar has long known that there is a problem with the wine.

If this is the case, then he deliberately did not say a word to remind him, did he really want to borrow Princess Alen's hand to kill Ellenwood?

The more Maester John thought about it, the more terrified he became.

"Maester Yorne," said Guannesse, "you see. We, the Ellenwood family, can only continue to exist if we take the initiative to stain Martell's blood and become the murderous knife in the hands of His Majesty Caesar. What is the High King of Dorne, the noble of blood...... These former glories and scenery are traps and poisons. We should have given up sooner rather than later. ”

Maester Jörn looked at the twelve-year-old girl beside him, and suddenly sighed with mixed feelings:

"You're smarter than me, and you're smarter than your brother. Perhaps, the Ellenwood family can be restored to glory in your hands. ”

Guan Nisse smiled innocently and hugged the arm of Master Jorne, as if she had become the ignorant and timid little girl again:

"I'm so smart. It's just that he knows that he doesn't have the ability, so he will take the initiative to cling to the person who really has the ability. Today's Westeros, of course, the most capable is His Majesty Caesar. If I do what he wants, I will be at peace. ”

Maester Jorn nodded, and smiled reassuringly:

"Looks like you don't need me to worry about it anymore. However, you still need to pay attention to the person of Olifa Shad. ”

"He has something to pay attention to." Guan Nisse pursed her lips disdainfully, "Didn't I just say that it's not a good thing to be too ambitious." Do you think His Majesty Caesar would be more comfortable with an ambitious illegitimate son at the helm of the Ellenwood family, or an obedient and sensible little girl? ”

Bachelor Yorn looked at Guan Nisse, who was smiling innocently and cutely, and laughed, and said:

"Of course it's an obedient and sensible little girl."
