"Stop playing dead! You need to learn to walk upright first, then teach the eldest!"
Garedon kicked the second child, who was lying on the ground as if turned into a puddle of mud, with force.
"Duang! Duang!"Two dull sounds echoed through the courtyard, the recoil from the dark, cold-gleaming scales on the second son's leg making his toe bones ache as if they were about to break.
"Don't think just because your skin's gotten thicker, I can't deal with you!"
"Hion~!"
The second son let out a weak cry, and after Galleon heard the second son's agreement, he revealed a satisfied smile.
In the banquet hall of Sunspear's western castle, illuminated by a dozen or so candles, the Tarth family had just finished dinner.
Galleon peeled a Dornish orange, occasionally feeding slices to his two younger sisters, Arianne and Alysanne, who were sitting close beside him.
"So sour! This one's sour!"Alexanne's short legs, which had been swinging back and forth, froze, and an exaggerated expression appeared on her face. Her cute, big eyes narrowed into slits, as if she had just drunk aged vinegar.
"Hahaha, sour and sweet!"
He tasted a segment and burst out laughing, tugging at his little sister's rosy cheeks, which made her slap him with her small hands in displeasure.
Arianne also stuck her tongue out at her sister in schadenfreude.
"Uncle Lyon, you try one too!"
Garredon weighed the citrus fruit in his hand and tossed it to Lyon, who was standing next to Earl Selwyn.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Brienne watched the two little sisters vying for their brother's attention, her eyes filled with envy.Her personality and age prevented her from acting cute and coquettish like her two younger sisters, yet she still inspired affection at first glance.
"Brienne, since you just got your braces, you don't need to clean your teeth twice a day, morning and night, to avoid infection!" Garedon noticed her envious gaze and patiently instructed, "If you feel any discomfort, be sure to tell me immediately."
"Thank you, brother!"
Brienne smiled, revealing her neat set of metal braces.
At this moment, a young and handsome man entered the hall, glanced at the Earl at the head of the long table, and then leaned in to Garedon's ear to report something in a low voice.Lord Selwyn set down his wine glass and recognized the young man as one of his son's squires, something like Kellen Toth! He was the acolyte responsible for monitoring Maester Leygood and also for training the ravens.
"Arianne, Alysanne, time for bed!" Galadon, still smiling, picked up his two reluctant little sisters and handed them to the wet nurse, instructing Brienne and the steward, "Brienne, Uncle Lyonel, please look after these two mischievous little ones!"
Once only the three of them remained in the banquet hall, Galadon called out, "Send the maester in!"Before long, a gray-robed old man with temples of white, hurried into the hall, bypassed Caledon, and handed the already opened envelope in his hand to Earl Selwyn.
"My lord, a letter from King's Landing, King Robert requests you to serve as Master of Ships!"
Maester Reid clutched the red copper chain around his neck, representing his outstanding achievements in history.
"Allow me to remind you, my lord!"
"You once swore an oath; to forever be loyal to your liege lord, Robert Baratheon! Now you should abide by your oath, heed your liege lord's call, and fulfill your duty!"Lord Selwyn scanned the letter roughly, but before he could answer, Galladon laughed first. "Allow me to remind you as well, Maester Ryde!"
"You also swore an oath; to forever be loyal to House Tarth!"
Maester Ryde turned his head, glancing at Galladon, a deep resentment flashing in his eyes. "Yes, and so I am advising my lord to abide by his sacred oath!"
Galladon mocked him with an exaggerated gesture. "Oh! The Maester is truly dutiful, a true loyalist of Tarth!"Before the other party could answer, Galaddon's expression suddenly turned grim, and he questioned the unnatural-looking scholar, word by word: "Then why did you advise my father to go to his death!"
"Nonsense, King Robert is the Earl's liege lord!" The scholar's face flushed red, as if he had suffered a great injustice. "He invited the Earl to be his Master of Ships, he must guarantee the Earl enjoys the ancient and sacred guest right! Guarantee his safety!"
"Ha! The Baratheons once swore fealty to the Targaryens! The Starks once swore fealty to the Targaryens! And we all saw the result.""Garedon sneered, spread his hands, and feigned a bow; "Long live the King!!!"
"Has the maester's historical knowledge been devoured by the evil shadows that are gradually filling his heart? Need I remind you that Rickard and Brandon Stark, father and son, were also summoned to court!"
"Oh! And, attacking a child in swaddling clothes is a complete violation of ethics and chivalry! Can we have hope for such a person!"
"Bah~!""Having his hard-earned knowledge insulted, Reed was so angry he almost cursed aloud. He took a deep breath and said:
"Twelve years ago, that war started because the Mad King betrayed his vassals first, violating the sacred guest right, we all know that!"
"King Robert was only leading his vassals to demand justice from the Mad King. The 'Kingslayer' was the one who actually killed him."
"I 'we all know that' too! Are you a horse-man sent here to amuse me?"
Among the Dothraki, the nomadic people living on the opposite continent of Essos, when someone states something that is commonly known, others will echo: "We all know that!"Garedon mentally scoffed, a sneer plastered on his face; "So, now I suspect the three princes are the products of incest between the Queen and Ser Jaime of the Kingsguard, and the King and the Small Council are controlled by the Lannisters."
"Should I raise the banners for my liege lord and march on King's Landing! To reclaim justice for my liege lord!"
Hearing this, Maester Reed swallowed hard, trembling all over, his eyes filled with fear.
Lord Selwyn's eyes also lit up, what a wonderful pretext! And most of it is true!
"Alas, but it's truly worrying!""What if we push too hard, or in the chaos, our liege lords, House Baratheon, are slaughtered by the Kingslayer? What do we do then?"
Garedon's face was full of worry, as if it were already happening.
"You know, the Kingslayer has a history in this regard! And! He'll wipe out the Hand of the King, Jon Arryn's family, too!"
"You... you... you!"
Reed's voice trembled, his face a mixture of panic and disbelief, so frightened by Garedon's treasonous words that he retreated again and again! Until he reached the corner!
"Kellen, what do you think we should do?"Garedon seemed not to notice the maester's fear, and instead turned to his companions beside him to ask.
"Hmm..."
Karen pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly brightening, and he said nonchalantly, "What can we do now that they're dead? Let it go!"
His tone made it sound as if it wasn't a king who had died, nor the most noble and esteemed family that had been wiped out, but rather a butcher on the roadside.
"But the people of the Seven Kingdoms are innocent! For the sake of peace, for the sake of the people of the Seven Kingdoms, as long as they admit their mistakes and cede King's Landing and submit, we will generously forgive the Lannister family.""And in the Stormlands, the Lord protected the former Duke's bloodline from desecration, and occupied King's Landing to avenge the former liege lord, so it probably won't be difficult to make them submit!"
"Dorne hates the Lannisters and is friendly with us, so they will ally with us! Then we will marry into the Reach, subdue the scattered forces of the Vale, and finally make the North independent!"
"Alas, it's truly a grievance for the Lord, for the sake of peace in the Seven Kingdoms, to only reluctantly become the King of Six Kingdoms!"
"Hahaha! Kellen, you're a damn genius!"
Garroldon slapped the table and laughed loudly, this kid is worthy of being the first among the squires below the four Kingsguard knights!However, hasn't he forgotten Stannis on Dragonstone? We can't let the Lannisters pull off another assassination.
Lord Selwyn also smiled. This kid's vision of the future is a bit too rosy. The probability of success exists, but it's not high.
Unless!
