Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

  Chapter 414 Euron's gift

   Iron Islands, Pike City.

  An autumn rain has been pattering for a few days, and the temperature is getting colder as it falls.

  But the air in the city seemed suffocating and hot, a raging flame rose from the fireplace in the hall, and black smoke billowed out.

   Coupled with the heat emitted by the wedding guests, mixed with the smell of wine, barbecue, and the sour smell of sweat, it permeated the not-so-spacious banquet hall, making Asha Greyjoy feel even more irritable.

  She played with the sharp table knife in her hand, and looked at the couple on the high platform with an inexplicable gaze.

  Today was the wedding day of her uncle Euron "The Crow's Eye" Greyjoy and Desmera Redwyne, daughter of the Lord of the Arbor.

If it was before, how could the proud Redwyne family agree to marry the Greyjoy family, but since the Arbor Island fleet suffered heavy losses in the Dorne Sea, Lord Paxter Redwyne had to give his precious The daughter married the most despised sea monster ever.

  The wedding was presided over by the priests of the Seven Gods brought by Earl Paxter, because the priests of the Drowned God, led by Aeron "Damphair" Greyjoy, collectively boycotted the wedding.

   Perhaps it is more accurate to say that they are boycotting Euron the Crow's Eye.

   "An ungodly Euron will surely draw the wrath of the Drowned God."

  Asha heard that her uncle Aeron beside her began to mutter again.

   "Uncle, you were in the Gray Sea King's hall, but you put the driftwood crown on Euron's head with your own hands."

"I had no choice then," sighed Aeron. "He won the support of the most Ironmen. I must abide by the rules of the kingsmoot and crown him. But since I can put the crown on his head, You can take it off again."

   "How to pick it?" Asha suddenly became interested.

You know, if Euron is stripped of his crown, Victarion dies in Slaver's Bay, and Aeron cannot be king as a priest, then the first heir to the Driftwood Crown is her, Balon's eldest daughter up.

   Unless brother Theon is still alive.

   But even so, Theon is a loser, and the Ironborn will not embrace a loser as king.

  Asha had the confidence to make that naive and stupid brother kneel to her.

   "The ironborn were overwhelmed by Euron's horn, thinking he could indeed bring back a dragon..."

   "He did bring back a dragon," interjected Asha. "A golden dragon."

   "But he can't control that dragon." Aeron said coldly.

   Asha said in astonishment: "Euron can't control it? Then how did he **** that dragon? And that horn..."

   "Have you ever seen him on the back of a dragon?"

"No." Asha shook her head and said thoughtfully, "I haven't even seen the dragon. I only heard the roar of the giant beast from the cave on Pyke Island. Euron sent heavy troops there, who Don't let them come any closer."

"Yes, because Euron can't control the dragon. So he has to chain the dragon in the stone cave. He cheated the driftwood crown with a lie, and I will expose this lie and tell all the ironmen, Euron is a liar."

   "Euron will kill you," Asha warned her uncle.

"Then he'd better hide." Aeron said indifferently, "At least like he did with Victarion, he can't leave anyone with a clue. Because the ironborn will not accept a kinslayer to become king .”

  Asha secretly sighed, knowing that she couldn't persuade her uncle.

  She turned her head to look at the high platform. On the stage, the king and his new wife made seven marriage vows in front of the priest of the Seven Gods, accepted seven blessings, exchanged seven promises, and then sang hymns.

   Euron took off his cloak, shook it off, and threw it over his wife.

  The girl from the Redwyne family showed a shy but happy smile, and looked at her husband tenderly.

  Seeing this scene, Asha sneered in her heart. Poor silly girl, she has no idea who she's married to.

  That's right, Euron is handsome on the outside, and he is the king of the Iron Islands. He is smart and courageous, but under these beautiful qualities, there is a vicious, crazy, and corrupt soul hidden.

  A soul rejected by the gods.

"Under the gaze of the Seven Gods, I officially announce." The priest said loudly, "Euron of the Greyjoy family and Desmera of the Redwyne family have married. From now on, they will be one One body, one mind, one soul."

  The hall immediately burst into cheers.

  The leaders of the ironmen couldn't hold it anymore, and now they let out a strange cry and slammed the table loudly.

   Such a rude move made the Redwyne family frown.

  A trace of anger and contempt also flashed in Earl Paxter's eyes, but he quickly hid it.

   Now that he has made up his mind to ally with the Iron Islands, he must endure these pirates.

   "Your Majesty," Earl Paxter forced himself to smile, "The banquet can begin, and everyone can't wait."

   Euron raised his glass and announced loudly:

   "Respect the friendship between Iron Islands and Qingting Island!"

   "Respect friendship!" Thousands of cups clashed at the same time, announcing the official start of the banquet.

  Earl Paxter had just sat down when he saw Euron walking over and said:

   "Father-in-law, I have another gift for you."

   "Oh, what's the gift?"

   "Follow me," Euron said, standing up.

   "Honey, you haven't even given me a gift yet." Desmela acted coquettishly to her husband.

   Euron kissed his wife with blue lips, and said reassuringly:

   "Wait a while, the next one will be your turn."

   "Really? That's great!" Desmela said excitedly.

  Iron saw this scene and couldn't help but sneer in a low voice:

   "Poor man, they don't know that Euron's gift must contain poison."

  Asha heard these words in her ears, and her heart trembled slightly.

   She had heard her uncles say this many times, both Victarion and Aeron, had warned her not to accept Euron's gift.

   But Lord Paxter evidently had not heard this, and had no idea what Euron's gift meant.

  The two walked out of the banquet hall, braving the drizzle and walking all the way up the mountain.

  Earl Paxter wanted to ask several times, but in the end he didn't ask.

   A moment later, Euron led him into a cave.

  In the cave, there are jagged rocks, the air is dry and hot, and it is full of a smell of sulfur, which is extremely pungent.

  Earl Paxter seemed to be aware of something, and he was puzzled, but his steps were much lighter.

  As the two of them went deeper into the cave, the light was blocked, and there was a deep darkness in front of them, as if there were some living creatures lurking in it, ready to move and eyeing.

  Chick—

   Euron lit the torches.

  Earl Paxter realized that he was standing on the edge of a huge pit.

  In the pit, a pair of blood-red eyes gleamed.

dragon!

  Although the whole picture has not yet been seen clearly, Earl Paxter has already guessed its identity.

   "This is the dragon you snatched from the mad king's daughter?"

   "Yes." Euron admitted, nodding. "It's called Viserion. What an ugly name."

   "It's really ugly." Earl Paxter replied absent-mindedly.

  At this time, his eyes had adapted to the darkness, and he finally saw the dragon in the pit clearly.

  It has golden scales all over its body, its head is as big as three horse heads, and its dragon neck extends backwards continuously, like a huge python. It spread its wings and fanned the scorching wind, blowing up a cloud of dust and ash.

   "Why don't you give him a new name," suggested Euron.

   "Me?" Earl Paxter was stunned.

   "Yes. After all, this is my gift to you."
