"Lady Melisandre, what do you see in the flames?" asked Stannis I.

"There is no prophecy. Melisandre said.

She said confidently, but she wasn't confident inside.

*

Ever since Eddard Stark saw two battles in the flames, she hadn't had enough self-confidence. "You're going in the wrong direction. Will's words always pop up out of nowhere. "Join me, Melisandre, I know your purpose, and I know your direction. "Your interpretation of prophecies is often wrong, and I can help you correct yours. ”......

*

"Hmm!" Stannis I was convinced of Melisandre. Even after Eddard Stark's Flame Interpretation, he still has faith in Melisandre.

Melisandre eliminated two true rivals for him: Tywin Lannister and Ranley Baratheon. This kind of merit is unmatched by none of the Seven Kingdoms.

Tywin Lannister was a remarkable man, leading 15,000 elite men from the West to raid King's Landing, but he couldn't stop Melisandre's fire and a shadow killer, while Ranly Baratheon's 100,000 elite soldiers were instantly disintegrated by Melisandre's shadow killer, and all Baratheon's vassals defected to Stannis. The Tyrells' legions were forced to flee back to the Bend overnight.

Although Will is also a prodigy and helped him sit on the Iron Throne, at the same time, Will also deceived him by taking the appearance of Eddard Stark, and after leaving safely, he did not explain anything to Stannis.

Will was not loyal enough, although he helped Stannis to claim the Iron Throne, he also obtained too many things for himself, and the 8,000-year-old law of the Night's Watch was fundamentally changed in Will's hands......

Melisandre's flames were unannounced, and Stannis I decided to get a good night's sleep and appeared at the prayer meeting at the Basilica in high spirits.

It was the first time he had officially gone to the Basilica since he sat on the Iron Throne.

*

Melisandre couldn't sleep.

The flames didn't enlighten her, but her heart was uneasy.

Could it be that the flames had revealed to her, but she didn't see it? Will said to her about ice and fire, ice may have two references, the first refers to the strangers of the Land of Eternal Winter, the second refers to the Eddard Stark family, and what about fire? Except for the red god Lahero, which is the dragon of the Targaryen family.

Could it be that Westeros ended up in the hands of the Eddard Starks and the Targaryens, and Stannis, like King Robert, was just a guest on the Iron Throne?

What is Stannis? Ice or Fire?

Melisandre suddenly misses Will, she needs Will's advice and answers, and she feels hesitant.

Melisandre arrives in the Queen's prayer room, which is dedicated to the statue of the Red God, Rahlo. Queen Celis Florent's belief in the Red God has not been in the same room with Stannis for a long time, and she has forgotten about her daughter Celine.

When she saw Melisandre, it was as if she had seen light and hope, and she ran up in small steps and kissed Melisandre's hand.

"Tomorrow Your Majesty is going to the Great Sanctuary of Baylor. Melisandre said.

"Then we'll have to stop him. Cylise immediately said, her eyebrows raised, "The night is long, and everywhere is sinister, the Great Sanctuary of Baylor is a dangerous place that cannot be visited, and only the Red God is the only true god." ”

"Yes, what is there that cannot be prayed at the Red Temple to be enlightened?" a noblewoman came up and kissed Melisandre's other hand.

The most recent lady to become inseparable from Celis was the Countess of Tanda Stooakworth, a royal nobleman whose castle was not far north of King's Landing.

Tanda Stooakworth had two daughters.

The eldest daughter, Farice Stoneckworth, is her heir. Farice had been married to Sir Balmain Bych for more than ten years, but the two had no children. Faris is a poisonous tongue, but she is also a loyal believer in the Red God.

The youngest daughter, Loris, is mentally retarded, obese, and twenty-nine years old. Tanda hopes that Queen Celis will find a knight for Loris. Her previous first target was Tyrion Lannister, but now that Tyrion is the Night's Watch and the Western Lannisters are defeated and out of position, the half-married marriage to Tywin has to be abandoned.

Melisandre accepted the gifts from the Queen and Lady Tanda.

"Your Majesty, I would like to meet Count Berry Dondelien. Melisandre said.

"I immediately sent for him. Cyris said immediately.

Berry Dondelion is a staunch of the latter party, believing in the Red God and becoming a close friend of Thoros, a red-robed monk from across the Narrow Sea.

"And Sir Barristan Selmy, captain of the captain in charge of His Majesty's security. ”

"Yes, Shaman Melisandre, I'll call both of them here at once. ”

Soon the queen's order was handed down, and Berry Dondelion and Barristan Selmy arrived.

Barristan Selmy was not a believer in the Red God, but he was known for his loyalty and martial arts in the Seven Kingdoms, and Melisandre was unable to convince Stannis I to replace him.

"Tomorrow, Your Majesty will go to the Great Sanctuary of Baylor to attend the Divine Prayer of the Seven Gods, and I hope to add a thousand Black Armor Army guards. Melisandre said to Berry Dondelion.

"Your Majesty only asked me to lead a thousand people to the square. ”

"Two thousand, said Mashaman Melisandre. Queen Cylise snapped.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Berry Dondelion said.

Melisandre said to Barristan Selmy, "Sir Barristan, you'd better arrange a place for the Warriors tonight. The mercenary regiment we paid for should be officially put to use tomorrow. ”

Barristan frowned and said, "Lady Melisandre, Your Majesty has already rested, and you want me to temporarily increase the Warrior Corps?"

"I saw some bad prophecies in the flames. "Melisandre lied, she didn't see anything, the will of the Seven is not ineffective, and the Sparrow is not powerless," but I don't want to alarm His Majesty, it's our duty to keep him safe, and it's your duty, Sir. ”

Melisandre's decision had nothing to do with the revelation of the flames, but only from a woman's sensitivity and intuition, from the wisdom of a strategist and her distrust of the Sparrow. Ever since Varys ran away, intelligence information in the Red Keep has been lagging behind ever since.

Celis walked up to Barristan, she was tall, and looked Barristan in the eye: "Sir, if anything happens to the king tomorrow, you will bear the eternal charges, and you can't afford to cut off your head." ”

“...... Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange for the Warriors to guard tomorrow tonight...... I will have Robert Strong standing to the left of His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen for tomorrow...... And Bran Stark and I, along with his wolf, will stand to the right of His Majesty the King and the Queen......" Barristan stared deeply at Melisandre and strode out.

It was Melisandre who said in front of Stannis I that the flames were unforeseen, and now it was Melisandre who suddenly wanted to add a new member of the Warriors.

This is a woman who is very disgusting to Barristan, and he glimpses the lack of confidence hidden in the depths of her eyes.
