Sir Barristan hesitated for a long time in the face of Samwell's sharp question, and finally sighed:

"Your Majesty, you are right. These people defiled the white robes on their bodies. ”

"yes, they don't deserve that white robe and white armor." Daenerys said, "In my heart, Sir Barristan is the one who is most worthy of the title of White Knight. ”

Barristan smiled bitterly:

"But I took off my white robe myself......"

"Take it off and put it on." Samwell laughed as he reached out and flipped to the page that described Barristan, "There's still a blank on it, don't you want to fill it in?" ”

Sir Barristan looked at the big white book in a daze, and was speechless for a moment.

Yes, that's a page that belongs to him.

It is painted with the coat of arms of the Selmi family, three bunches of golden ears of wheat on a tan background.

There is also a record of his life, starting from his first time as an attendant to Sir Manford Swain, to anonymously participating in the King's Landing tournament and winning the championship, being made a knight by Aegon V's personal handbook, and then participating in the "Battle of the Nine Bronze Kings", killing the last Black Fire "Ferocious" Maris, the champion of the Silverwarp City tournament, the champion of the Female Springs tournament, and the champion of the Castle of Wind's End......

He also saved the king in the rebellion of Twilight Valley, fought side by side with Prince Rhaegar on the banks of the Trident, and failed miserably, but was pardoned by Robert Baratheon and served as the captain of the Kingsguard until he took off his white robe in Tianji City.

It is irrefutable that this is a glorious life, but unfortunately, the ending is not so glorious.

It was as if the pure white robe had been stained.

"Sir Barristan, there is still a blank space on this page, waiting for you to continue to write." Daenerys persuaded again.

Samwell also put on a solemn expression and asked solemnly:

"Barristan Selmy, would you like to be the captain of my Kingsguard?"

Faced with the Storm King's invitation, Ser Barristan, who had planned to refuse, hesitated.

At this moment, Caesar's face gradually coincided with that of Robert.

He accepted Robert's pardon and converted to the Baratheon dynasty, but it was always a thorn in his heart.

So when he realized that he was only guarding an illegitimate seed, Barristan decisively took off the white robe that he regarded as his life.

He traveled across the ocean to find Daenerys and swear allegiance to her, in order to renew his original vow, to the Targaryens.

And when Caesar intervened forcefully to turn the queen he wanted to protect into a queen, Barristan was actually full of unwillingness, and even hid his bad intentions under the instigation of Sir Jorah Mormont.

Can ...... now Faced with Caesar's sincere invitation, he was confused again.

After so many years of court career, Barristan has long seen many kinds of knights, who may have superb swordsmanship and strong bodies, but they will inevitably fall victim to pride, ambition, love, suspicion, and even degenerate into the game of thrones......

Yes, it is the Fallen who will be involved in Game of Thrones.

Barristan was suddenly relieved.

He realized that he had gone into a misunderstanding.

The white knight is the sharpest sword and the strongest shield, and the sword and the shield should not have a mind of their own.

That's what he should have adhered to.

Looking at the blank space on the page of the White Book, Sir Barristan finally made up his mind.

I saw him decisively step forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Samwell, and said loudly:

"You're right. A page that belongs to me shouldn't end like that. I must find a true king and die for him. And you are the king worthy of my death! ”

"Am I?" Samwell asked in a complicated tone.

Sir Barristan was stunned for a moment, then looked up, and saw a hint of hesitation in the young Storm King's eyes.

He suddenly understood why the Storm King had conquered King's Landing, but he had only wandered around the Red Keep instead of going to the throne room.

"I'll tell you the truth, I was suspicious of you." Sir Barristan said calmly, "Doubt your bloodline, doubt your abilities." However, now it seems that you are the only one who is best suited to sit on the Iron Throne, and only you can lead the people of the Seven Kingdoms to salvation in the cold winds of winter. ”

If others say such things, there may be an element of flattery, but Barristan Selmy will not.

This old man over sixty years old can be called the most respectable knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and the person most worthy of the title of White Knight of the Kingsguard, he has gone through three dynasties, witnessed several kings, and is certainly qualified to evaluate Caesar.

Samwell smiled when he heard this, drew his greatsword and tapped it on Sir Barristan's left and right shoulders, and said:

"Get up, my captain of the Kingsguard."

"Yes, my king." Sir Barristan got up, and then came to Samwell and stood still, like his white shadow.

Daenerys looked at this scene and smiled with relief:

"Sam, it's time to go to the throne room, right? The nobles were in a hurry. ”

Samwell smiled and nodded, putting behind some of his previous hesitations and worries, and strode out of the White Sword Tower.

The sky outside was as blue as a wash, without a single cloud, and the sun sprinkled its brilliant light on the earth, dispelling the haze that had been in place for days.

Samwell didn't squint, and soon came to the front of Meggor Tower.

This majestic building is a symbol of royal power, nearly 300 years old, has been through countless kings, and is now as if it had just been built.

Samwell just looked up, and without pausing any longer, he entered the tower.

As he ascended the empty spiral staircase, Samwell finally arrived in the throne room.

The morning sun sprinkled through the glass, casting dark red stripes on the walls.

The hall was filled with nobles from the Seven Kingdoms, but in Samwell's eyes, only the ancient throne was seen.

The tall chair forged from a thousand swords, full of hideous spikes, sharp horns, and eeriely twisted metal—

Iron Throne.

The sound of footsteps echoed clearly in the hall, and the Iron Throne high above was so striking and alluring, as if some voice was calling to Samwell.

The panic when he first crossed over, the ambition when he was canonized as a pioneer knight, and the years of hard work finally brought Samwell to this Iron Throne.

I'm so tired.

Samwell complained secretly, but there was no joy and excitement in his heart.

On the contrary, I felt a heavy responsibility.

"As a king, you can't sit comfortably." Aegon I, who conquered the Seven Kingdoms, said this when he forged the Iron Throne.

Samwell looked at the throne full of sharp teeth, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly:

"Conqueror, Oh! What an arrogant guy. ”

With that, he collected his thoughts, strode up the steps, and sat down on the Iron Throne.

Sure enough, it's not a comfortable chair.

The uneven seats are incredibly hard, and the backs and armrests are full of hideous spikes that you can't rely on, and you need to be very careful to avoid cuts.

The Iron Throne is said to reject incompetent kings, and several kings throughout history have been cut or even killed by this terrifying chair.

Is this what it feels like to be at the pinnacle of power?

It seems to be extremely beautiful, but in fact, it is full of danger and hidden murder.

Looking down from the throne, the entire hall seemed to be soaked in blood red in the sunlight.

Rows of nobles, like wheat blown by the wind, fell down:

"Meet His Majesty Caesar!"
