Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

  Chapter 372 Shirin

  Storm's End, the living room.

  Sir Allerken Florent was wearing a fine linen gown with a floral fox emblem tattooed on his chest, sitting on the sofa with an anxious expression.

Sitting next to him was a thin girl, wearing a gray maid skirt and a black bowler hat, her face was also covered by a scarf, only a pair of blue eyes were exposed, and she looked curiously at the people in the living room. decorate.

  The tea on the table in front of the two of them has been drained, and the cheese snacks have also been eaten, but they still haven't waited for the host to meet.

   After an unknown amount of time, he heard footsteps from outside the door, and Sir Alekon stood up hopefully, only to see a young maid walking in.

   "When will His Majesty the Storm King see us?"

   "Sorry, sir, I don't know about this." The maid bowed apologetically, stepped forward to refill the tea for the two, replaced the burnt incense candle, and then left quietly.

  Aleken couldn't sit still anymore, so he walked back and forth in the hall, his leather boots stepping on the red paulownia wood floor making a crisp sound.

   "Uncle," the girl said, "cousin...doesn't he want to see us?"

   "No." Sir Alleken forced a smile, "He must have been delayed."

  The girl didn't say anything after hearing the words, but just lowered her head with a melancholy expression.

  Aleken actually has no idea in his heart.

  Although the Storm King Caesar is his nephew by blood, the relationship between the two parties is not actually harmonious.

  No way, everyone is their master.

After the death of King Joffrey, the Florens family naturally put their heavy bets on Stannis Baratheon, but in fact they planned to win over Caesar and tie the Reach to Stannis' battle. car.

  However, when Caesar took advantage of the power of the Horse Party to control the power of the Reach, he brazenly led his army to invade the Stormlands, which angered Stannis and caused Caesar and the Florens family to part ways.

  Later, after Caesar quelled the Deer Party rebellion, he actually conferred Brightwater City, the territory of the Florens family, to Dickon Tully, which exacerbated the conflict between the two parties.

  Aleken knew that his father, Earl Alister, had planned to make peace with the Lannister family and jointly deal with Caesar, thereby regaining the family territory.

   Unfortunately, Lord Alister underestimated Stannis' stubbornness and stubbornness.

The fiasco of the Battle of Blackwater Bay did not completely defeat the king. Stannis not only rejected the proposal of peace talks with the Lannister family, but also deprived Earl Alister of the position of King's Hand and sent him to the black prison.

   Later, it was reported that Stannis was going to lead his army north to support the Great Wall.

  In Aleken's view, Stannis may have gone crazy, and he actually wanted to support the Great Wall when he was in danger.

  Seeing that the Baratheon family was about to come to an end, Alekon was planning for the future of the Florent family, and then thought of this nephew who had become the Storm King.

  So, under the guise of going to Pentos to buy food, he planned to sneak to Storm's End to test Caesar's tone.

   But just as he was leaving, "Onion Knight" Davos Seaworth actually found him secretly and gave him a girl...

  The sound of footsteps sounded again, and Sir Alekon rekindled hope in his heart. He stopped and looked towards the door.

   This time, he was not disappointed.

   "Uncle." Samwell walked in with a smile and explained, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I just learned that Dani is pregnant, so I delayed a bit."

   "Dani? Is that the princess of House Targaryen?"

"Yes."

   "Congratulations." Sir Alleken said with mixed feelings.

  He still remembers the situation when his nephew was kicked out of the house by Earl Landau. At that time, everyone thought that Samwell must fail to develop and become a wandering knight.

   But three years later, Caesar has become the king of the Stormlands, and married the last blood of the Targaryen family...

   Maybe it won't be long before my legendary nephew can really sit on the Iron Throne.

  Samwell sat down on the main seat, saw the little girl beside Sir Alekon, and asked:

"Who is this?"

   "She is Shireen Baratheon." Ser Arleken motioned for the girl to take off her veil.

   "Stannis' daughter?" Samwell frowned subconsciously.

   "Yes, Your Majesty." Shireen originally wanted to call her cousin, but seeing Samwell's dignified expression, she changed to a respectful title.

  At the same time, she also took off her veil and hat, revealing a sweet and lovely face.

   Unfortunately, the skin on her left face and most of her neck was stiff and necrotic, which made this beauty incomplete.

  Samwell knew that this was a sequela of greyscale.

   "What does Stannis mean by sending his daughter here? For peace?"

   Sir Aleken looked a little embarrassed, and explained:

   "Stannis probably doesn't know that his daughter has come to Storm's End..."

   As he spoke, he recounted how the red-robed monk Thoros persuaded Stannis to burn his daughter Shireen to death and sacrifice it to R'hllor, the Lord of Light, in order to awaken the dragon in the stone.

   "Soros really said that?" Samwell rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"Yes, Davos Seaworth, the 'Onion Knight', told me, and he was the one who stole Shirene and sent her to my ship." Sir Allerken glanced at his nephew carefully, and continued, "Of course, he originally wanted me to send Shireen to Pentos..."

   "But you sent her to me." Samwell smiled playfully.

   "I think, Shirin went to Pentos and had no one to rely on. How could she survive as a little girl, so I thought of sending you here... After all... she is also your cousin."

  Samwell looked at Shireen and asked:

   "Shireen, would you like to stay with me?"

  The little girl lowered her head subconsciously, covering her necrotic face, and whispered:

   "As long as you don't drive me away..."

   "But what if your parents send someone to pick you up?"

  Shirin’s eyes are red:

  "Mother wants to burn me to death... She said that I have been cursed by the gods, and I am an unclean bloodline. Only the holy fire can purify my sins... But, but I don't want to die..."

   "How can there be parents who want to burn their own daughter to death!" Sir Alleken said angrily.

   "Okay, I understand." Samwell nodded and said, "In this case, you can live in Storm's End with peace of mind."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shireen raised her head and smiled.

  Although there are flaws, the smile is still pure and sweet, which makes people feel pity.

  Samwell clapped his hands to greet a maid, and asked her to take Shirene down to settle down and rest.

   When there were only two people left in the living room, Samwell said to Sir Aleken:

   "Okay, uncle, tell me, your real purpose for coming to Storm's End."
