Chapter 12 - Secret

Dear Miss Margaret:

Sorry to bother you again, but, I have to confess, I'm out of money again...This time, it's really not that I just wasted money randomly, but that there was a reason for it.You must be aware that I am not my father's favorite son, so he only left me a long sword and a war horse, and I have nothing else.Now that the Crimson Mountains are in sight, I think it's necessary to upgrade my equipment for the upcoming battle. Besides, as a knight, how can I not even have a suit of armor?If it gets out, others will think the Tyrell family treated their vassals harshly.Fortunately, we met the Hightower family's caravan near Highland City, and they happened to have what I needed. So, I gave generously.Of course, I always kept your previous advice in mind, and deliberately abandoned the expensive plate armor and chose the cheap chainmail.In addition, I also bought a pair of leather armor for each of the recruits.

I know this action might make you angry.However, I really couldn't bear to send this group of brave and fearless Hewan people, who followed me thousands of miles to explore the Crimson Mountains, to the battlefield naked.I believe that you, the beautiful and kind Miss Margery, must also think so.

"Hmph!" The beautiful and kind-hearted Miss Margaret crumpled the letter paper and gritted her teeth angrily.But the next moment, she suddenly laughed again, as if she had thought of something funny.

"What is it?" Lady Olenna looked at her granddaughter, who was both angry and smiling, and asked curiously."It's not that Samwell, he actually wrote to me again asking for money!"

"Give it to him."

Facing Mrs.Olenna chuckled, while Margaret's eyes widened: "But Grandma, this guy has written asking for money for the second time! I think he's deliberately wasting it.""If I give it to him again this time, I'm afraid it won't be long before he runs out again..."

"Are we short of money?" Mrs. Olenna interrupted with a smile.Margaery shook her head, still resentful: "We may not be lacking for coin, but we can't let him bleed us dry like this. No, it's extortion!""Then don't give it, let Todd bring back all our soldiers."

"Huh?" Margaery, who was just furious, hesitated when she heard that, "But..."But Grandma, in this case, can Samwell develop smoothly? Besides, aren't you planning to use him to deal with Dawn? Are you just giving up like that?Madam Olenna smiled and said:

"I understand, that's why he dared to blackmail you so unscrupulously."

Margaery sighed, stepped forward and hugged Mrs.Olenna hooked her arm and said coquettishly, "Grandma, teach me, what should I do in this situation?" Mrs.Olenna patted her granddaughter's little hand affectionately, and did not answer her question, but asked instead:

"What kind of person do you think Samwell Caesar is?"I don't think he's the same as the rumors say, um—except that he really is fat.It is said that he is timid and cowardly, but I think he is quite courageous; he even dared to blackmail the Tyrell family."Not only did he have the guts to blackmail, he also killed Todd Flower's attendant Carter."

"What?" Margery was taken aback.

"You heard me right." Mrs.Olenna explained, "I also just received a letter from Todd Flowers, saying that Samwell killed Carter on the grounds of 'threatening nobles with a sword'."

"He... how dare he kill Carter?"Todd didn't stop him? And isn't he worried those soldiers will hold a grudge because of that?

Madam Olenna took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Margaery:

"This is Todd's letter, read it for yourself."Margaret took the letter, glanced at it, and said in surprise:

"This fat man is quite the schemer, and so decisive... It seems that rumors really can't be trusted."Madam Olenna added, her eyes deep:

"Actually, what surprised me the most was Samwell's ability to train soldiers."

"Indeed.""In just over a month, he was able to turn a group of dock laborers into well-trained soldiers, which is simply unbelievable."

"Randall Tarly is a good parent." said Mrs."Bold, decisive, scheming, and excellent military capabilities, Samwell has it all," Olenna sighed, then looked suspicious.How could Ran Dao be so dissatisfied with such an outstanding son? How could he actually want to deprive him of his right to inherit?"

"Maybe I think Sam is too fat.""Isn't your father also a potbellied 'inflatable fish', but has that stopped him from becoming the Duke of Highgarden?"

"This is different."Although she had long been accustomed to her grandmother's sharp tongue, Margaery was still a little embarrassed to hear her mocking her father, "The Tully family motto is 'Family, Duty, Honor', so all Earl Randyll wants is an heir who can charge forward.""Hehe, do you think Randyll Tarly is a mindless fool?"

"Of course not. Lord Landau is one of the best generals in the Reach, how could he be brainless?""I just think that Earl Landau prefers to charge forward on the battlefield rather than engage in some conspiracy behind the scenes."

"You still think Landau is a brainless fool." Mrs.Olenna mercilessly pierced Margaret's whitewashing words, and then continued without waiting for her to explain, "Randao doesn't know how to conspire. A trick? Haha."During the War of the Usurper, Robert Baratheon rebelled against the Targaryen family. He won three victories a day at Summerhall and was unstoppable. In the end, he met Randall Tarly at Ashford.After a disastrous defeat, they fled north. Afterwards, the armies of the Riverbend marched into the Stormlands and surrounded Storm's End. Do you remember how long the siege lasted?"I remember for more than a year."

"Yes. More than a year! In the end, I still failed to capture it." Mrs.Olenna looked into her granddaughter's brown eyes, a slight smile playing on the corners of her mouth, "Then do you still remember what ultimately caused the siege to fail?"Margaery nodded: "It was Davos Seaworth who successfully sailed his smuggling ship full of onions into the port of Storm's End, which solved the city's food shortage and allowed Storm's End to hold out until the moment Lord Eddard arrived to relieve them."Because of this incident, Davos was also knighted by Stannis.Madam Olenna wore a sneering smile and asked again: "Have you ever considered, with the Arbor fleet numbering over two hundred warships besieging the harbor of Storm's End at the time, how did that 'Onion Knight' manage to get his smuggling boat in?"Margaret frowned, as if realizing something.

Madam Olenna's eyes were dark, and she said: "I'll tell you a secret."During the siege, Landau Tarly wrote me a letter, saying that the food in Storm's End was exhausted.Margaret was taken aback when she heard the words, and then became suspicious—

My grandmother didn't go to the battlefield at that time, so why did Earl Landau write a letter to his grandmother far away in Highgarden to report this incident?But thinking of "Onion Knight", Mrs. suddenly realized something.Olenna smiled gratifiedly when she saw her granddaughter's reaction, and said:

"That's right, after I received Landau's letter, I wrote a letter to Paxter."
