Dorne secretly raised an army, cooperated with Aegon VI, gathered troops from all over the territory, and actively prepared for a sneak attack on the High Court, the capital of Riverbend, which was empty.

Meanwhile, in King's Landing, Queen Mother Cersei and the Tyrells have not heard anything about it, and they are only focused on the fact that the Stormlands have been raided by the Golden Order.

King's Landing, Hook Lane. Women's Hospital.

Several golden-robed men entered with swords, their faces grim. The leader of the general is the Kingsguard Osmond Kate Black, who is white-robed and white-armored, two meters tall, burly and strong, known as Little Magic Mountain.

The leading soldier kicked open a door, and the door panel was kicked open with a large opening, and in the room, the men and women who were churning over the clouds and rain were greatly frightened, and the merrily man rolled down, reached out and drew the long sword hanging on the wall, and the woman shrank in a corner, and blocked her chest with a quilt.

A well-dressed man with a thin figure heard the voice and quickly came over, he was the owner of this women's hospital, in the face of the imposing golden robe, the owner of the women's hospital was not afraid, and said coldly: "Sir Osmond, this women's courtyard was opened by Lord Magic Mountain. “

"Mor Wiley, I have come to Sir Roland Clinton on the orders of the Queen Mother. Osmond said lightly, "Brothers, please Sir Roland go out." ”

Boom!

Three long swords were unsheathed and fanned around Roland Clinton.

Roland Clinton is a knight, although he is the lord of the Vulture Nest, but in fact, many of his fiefs have been rewarded by Robert to the surrounding nobles, he is just an ordinary propertied knight.

"Osmond, what have I done?" Roland lowered the tip of his sword. He had one sword, and he could not overcome four swords, including Osmond. Even if Osmond was alone, he was no match.

"Sir Roland, I am on command. Osmond said indifferently, "Put down your sword and come with me, or we will shoot down your sword and tie you up and take you away, you choose." ”

Choke!

Roland's long sword was sheathed: "You go out first, let me get dressed first." ”

Osmond stood in the doorway and watched Sir Roland motionless.

Roland had no choice but to put on his clothes under the gaze of the three gold-robed men and Osmond, and for the first time he felt the loss of his knightly dignity.

*

Red Fort. Hall of the Thrones.

Roland is brought in by Osmond.

Inside the hall, there were already courtiers and military generals, and the atmosphere was solemn. Her Majesty the Queen Mother and King Tommen sat high on the Iron Throne, and the royal ministers sat behind their own long tables.

Everyone's eyes fell on Roland's body, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

Queen Cersei stared at Roland Clinton: "Sir Roland, your cousin Jon Clinton led the Golden Regiment to attack the Stormlands and occupied the Stormlands, and in just a few days, you controlled all the important castles in the Stormlands, and you didn't warn us beforehand. ”

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I didn't know beforehand. ”

"Jon Clinton is your cousin, he raided the Stormlands and didn't contact you beforehand?"

"Your Majesty, we have not been in touch since Jon was banished across the Narrow Sea by the Mad King. I only know that he fell drunk and died in the city-state of Rees, not that he is still alive. ”

"Jon didn't tell you anything about the Golden Order's raid on Storm's End, he has no siblings, and you're his only cousin. Prime Minister Metz questioned heavily.

"Absolutely not, I swear in the name of the old and new gods. I've always been loyal to House Baratheon in Storm's End, and I haven't changed my allegiance since the civil war in the Mad King's time. ”

"Roland, I'm willing to believe your oath, but I need you to prove yourself. ”

"What does Her Majesty want me to do?" Roland said in a deep voice.

"Take my letter to Jon Clinton, with whom I wish to negotiate. We've received word that Aegon Targaryen VI is their king, we all know that Aegon Targaryen VI has been dead for seventeen years, Jon has launched a fake puppet as an excuse to attack Westeros, he has committed a capital crime, and if Jon Clinton can fix his mistakes, I will not blame him. If he is obsessed with telling him that he and his puppet Aegon will die, I have made a plan to kill them, and tell him that this is not a warning, nor a threat, but only a fact. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen Mother. ”

"Master Teacher, send my letter to Sir Roland. ”

The great master Koben stood up from among the important ministers of the Imperial Court and handed the letter that had already been written to Roland Clinton.

"Roland Clinton, you quickly go back and pack up, take your family guards, don't delay, and leave today. ”

"I'm going alone?!"

"Bring your family guards!"

“...... Obey, Her Majesty the Queen Mother ......"

Roland Clinton strode out of the throne hall. Did Queen Cersei trust him by not sending the Golden Robe or the Court Scholar with him to the Stormlands? Roland wondered that if he was a spy of Jon Clinton, this would be a return to the mountain, and if not, would Queen Cersei trust his abilities so much?

Roland was quite uneasy!

He and Jon have different political positions, he knows that he can't convince Jon with his eloquence, only Jon can convince him, he needs help, but the Queen Mother didn't give him a help!

*

"National Teacher, has the news of the Golden Regiment's raid on the Storm Lands been sent to the north?"

"A message has been sent to the Minister of War, Demon Mountain, Lord Demon Mountain will receive a raven letter today. ”

Queen Cersei glanced at the courtiers and generals in the hall: "My lords, Daenerys will ride the dragon to attack King's Landing, the Golden Regiment under the leadership of Jon Clinton has taken a large part of the territory of Storm's Rest and the Stormlands, and in the north, the Magic Mountain and Stark are facing the attack of the strangers, the kingdom is worried about internal and external troubles, the situation is difficult, who has good advice, let's listen." ”

*

Roland walked out of the throne hall, and the royal guard Glenn Gubler stood in the middle of the road: "Knight Roland, the queen mother's secret order, you come with me." ”

"Yes, sir. Roland breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it turned out that Her Majesty the Queen Mother had other arrangements, but she didn't want others to know. Roland found himself fond of the feeling of being secretly valued by Her Majesty the Queen Mother.

Glenn took Roland into the Meggar Building.

*

A few days later. Storm's End. The main castle hall.

Roland Clinton stood in the middle of the hall, and in front of him sat the rumored Aegon VI Targaryen. The young king was very handsome, and his only lack was his majesty and femininity. At the young king's side stood Jon Clinton, who had been famous seventeen years ago, Sister Lemore, Captain Halton, and head Raleigh Duckfield.

"Roland, why don't you kneel when you see the king?" Jon's resolute face was not angry.

"Jon, as far as I know, Aegon Targaryen was killed in the royal nursery by the Magic Mountain seventeen years ago, although it was a rumor, maybe not credible, but the boy in front of me, I think it is even more implausible. ”

"The child who fell to death in the Magic Mountain was the son of a farmer, and Varys replaced the real Aegon when King Aerys decided to open the gates to welcome Duke Tywin into the city. For the past seventeen years, it was I who raised Aegon under the pseudonym Griffin. He is the only heir to the Iron Throne, the only legitimate king. ”

"No, Jon, the Targaryen dynasty has been overthrown by Robert, and the king I am loyal to is Tommen Baratheon I, not the Aegon who doesn't know if it's true or not. ”

"Tomman Baratheon I? Hmph, that's Tommen Lannister I. ”

Until there is conclusive evidence, my allegiance is still to His Majesty Tommen, not to the boy in front of me. ”

"Roland, with what you just said, I can kill you. ”

"You won't, Jon, you're the righteous and honorable Jon, and I'm the Red Keep, and you won't kill the messenger. ”

Roland Clinton took out Queen Cersei's letter from her arms: "Jon, this letter is written to you by the Queen Mother. ”

Raleigh Duckfield stepped forward to take the letter, and he gave it to Jon instead of Aegon VI Targaryen.

This is the practice they have developed before, and everything has to go through Jon Clinton's hand first.

Jon took the letter, crushed the wax seal, read it, and he handed it to Sister Lemore, who read it, and handed it to Halton, the Prophet, and Halton read it, and handed it to Raleigh, who read it, and then handed it to Aegon VI Targaryen.

This is a routine that the four have cultivated for more than a decade. Anything, the four of them discussed it first, and after reaching an agreement, they decided whether to let 'Little Griffin' know or not. In the past, the 'little Griffin' was the 'little Griffin', and he would not raise objections, but now, the little Griffin is no longer the little Griffin, but Aegon Targaryen VI, who is the head of the Golden Regiment and the king who kneels down with five hundred knights and ten thousand warriors to swear allegiance.

Today, he is also the king of all the nobles and people of the Stormlands who kneel and swear allegiance.

He was also the king of Jon, Lemore, Halton, Raleigh Duckfield who knelt and swore allegiance.

Aegon VI Targaryen was still reading the letter, and Jon had already spoken: "Roland, tell Cersei that we are here to take back the Iron Throne. If she surrenders, the Lannister will still be the Lord of the West, and we will pardon her and her children, otherwise, the Lord of the Westlands will no longer be a Lannister after we conquer King's Landing. ”

"No, Roland. Go back and tell Cersei Lannister that surrender and that Cersei and her children will be banished to the southern Midsummer Isles, and that if you don't, the Lannisters will be wiped out. The only condition I have for accepting Cersei Lannister's surrender is that Cersei personally present the heads of Jaime Lannister, Gregor Clegane, and Amori Lodge. ”

Jon Clinton's steel-gritty face froze.

Sister Lemore, Race Bachelor Halton, and Duck Knight Raleigh Duck Fee all looked at each other.

"Your Majesty. "The grey eyes of the Race Priest are emotionless," the intelligence indicates that Amori Lodge has been executed by the Brotherhood Without Flags. Cersei can't offer you the head of Amoriel Lodge. ”

"That's Cersei's problem, she can send someone to dig up Amori's Lodge's grave. "In the year 283 A.D., Jaime Lannister killed King Aerys Targaryen, whom he had sworn allegiance to, with a golden sword in the back, and he was an unforgivable murderer, the Magic Mountain killed a child in the royal nursery, and if it wasn't for Varys, that child would have been me, and Amori Lodge killed my sister Rhaenys, who stabbed Rhaenys more than fifty times until Rhaenys stopped moving, and Rhaenys was a few years old. James, the Magic Mountain, and the Amorites, each of them must die, and those who are dead must find their bones, and I will crush them to ashes. ”

By the end, the young king's face had been distorted, as if he had changed into a different person.

Sister Lemore couldn't believe that it was the well-behaved, obedient, filial, generous, kind, benevolent, and loving 'little Griffin' she had taught for more than ten years, and this was the first time that little Griffin expressed the hatred hidden in his heart.

Little Griffin expressed his independent opinion. He is a king, and he should have his own opinions, which is what Jon, Lemore, Halton, and Raleigh are bent on cultivating his royal prestige. But all four of them were slightly unwell. For more than a decade, they had become accustomed to being obedient to little Griffin's obedience, and they were accustomed to making any decision for him, and there was no way to refute it.

The young king stood up and walked up to Roland Clinton: "Roland, kneel, I won't gouge out your eyes." ”

Roland Clinton slowly knelt down on one knee, and he saw that what the boy king said was true.

Between dignity and eyes, he chose eyes.

"you! One day, I'll cut off a few of your handfuls and shove them down your throat. Roland cursed in his heart.

In the hall, Harry Stryclan, the head of the Golden Regiment, and hundreds of generals were all standing solemnly!

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn and solemn.

Aegon VI Targaryen slowly returned to his throne, he looked at Jon and said, "Father, you see, there is no need to pay attention to honor and morality when it comes to enemies, and threats are the most useful means. When the dog was disobedient, he slaughtered him!"

Roland Clinton got down on one knee and bowed his head. He felt that this Aegon had a trait in common with the Mad King Aerys.

"Your Majesty Honorable Aegon. Roland spoke, "Her Majesty Queen Cersei wants me to bring you a message, but I don't know whether to say it or not, please let Your Majesty make it clear." ”

"Say!"

Her Majesty said that in three months, the transitional autumn would pass, and winter would come, and the Wraiths would attack Winterfell in the north during this time, and she hoped that Her Majesty would not declare war on King's Landing before the Wraiths attacked. King's Landing is currently the rear to ensure the replenishment of supplies and troops for the 100,000 troops of Winterfell in the north. The Wraiths threaten the survival of the entire human race. ”

"What if I don't say yes?"

"Her Majesty the Queen Mother said that if Her Majesty insists on starting a war at the same time as the strange ghosts are attacking, there will be the Faceless Ones of the Black and White Courtyard of Braavos Lieshen Island to meet Your Majesty for a while. ”

The Faceless?!

Jon, Raleigh, Lemore, Halton, Harry and others all change color.

The hundreds of Golden Regiment generals in the hall have all changed color!

As soon as these words came out, everyone was terrified!

"Hehe, Cersei can still invite the Faceless?" Aegon sneered, fearless.

"Lannister, rich country. Roland Clinton said in a low but clear voice, "The royal family owed a lot of money during the time of King Robert, but the Lannisters of the West have always retained an astonishing wealth of gold. The Queen Mother's money has already been in place, and she only needs to say a person's name to the Faceless One. Your Majesty, the name is out, death is coming, please think twice!"

Aegon VI Targaryen's face finally changed. There was fear in his violet eyes!

There is no one who is not afraid of the Faceless!

The name is out, and death comes.

No exceptions!

That's the real threat!
