Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 110

He wore a gray woolen tunic, a crown of flaming red gold on his head, a sword with a ruby-inlaid hilt at his waist, and a dagger.

Standing beside him was a man in a dark brown coat, with a dark green cape fluttering slightly in the sea breeze, and a thick beard on his face.

On the other side is a beautiful woman in a red robe.

There have been frequent storms recently, and the sea is freezing cold at this time.The waves rushed up, and occasionally there were some pieces of cloth and boards, or dead fish and rotten shrimps.

Standing on the pier, you can see the steep cliffs not far away. The rocks there are mostly black, just like stratus clouds when a storm comes.

There are occasional white spots on the rock wall, which are seabirds flying.

No one sets foot here, it is a paradise for seabirds and snakes.

The rocky coast extends from there. In addition to sand, there are many stones scattered on the coast, and of course there are some shells.

The coast is arc-shaped and extends all the way to this side. The waves are mostly unloaded on the rock walls and the beach. When it comes to this side, it looks a little calm. There is a small village outside the pier.

The low-rise houses are densely crowded together, and there are various figures of mercenaries, merchants, and slaves on the road.There are several merchant ships docked at the pier.

"A boat is coming." A little shadow of the boat can be seen far away on the coast.

Stannis, Davos and Melisandre.All the important officials of Dragonstone Island gathered here, and the guards of the castle dispersed the surrounding people, and dozens of people formed a circle.

When the black shadow got bigger and bigger, they could clearly see a lace-patterned flag on the ship, and of course a flaming white bird flag.

There are still some curious civilians standing around, and they seem to be wondering who can make the castle mobilize such a big battle.

When the ship docked, they finally saw a silver-haired aristocratic young man in a plain dark woolen coat stepping down from the ship's plank. He looked around and came slowly.

"Your Majesty." He bowed on one knee.

"Get up, ser."

Cole stood up and looked at the few people in front of him, but he hadn't seen them for a while, and they had changed a lot.

Stannis was thin enough to be covered only by skin, with graying hair and sunken eyes.His clothes already looked baggy on his body, as if he had aged in his teens.

Davos, the onion knight, was not in much better condition either, he was equally thin, even though he was already quite thin.He lost four of his sons at the Battle of the Blackwater, and returned to Dragonstone to be locked in a dungeon again.

"I have read that letter, and I am very relieved that you have not betrayed me."

"Your Majesty, I swore an oath to you on Dragonstone Island." Cole glanced at the castle built on the hill like a crouching dragon.

Are there still few who swear by him?At that time, how many people knelt on the ground and claimed to respect him as king, but when the war really came, they all voted under Tywin's hands.

Back at the map table hall on Dragonstone Island, Stannis left him alone. They sat by the fire, in front of a wooden table, on one side was the map of Aegon the Conqueror's conquest of Westeros. The wind whistled outside the window, and the flames in the furnace flickered a little bit of light.

The king looked at the flames, "For a long time after I came back, I didn't dare to look at the flames, and I felt sorry for my cowardice."

"Is Your Majesty still blaming yourself? There is victory and defeat in war, and obsessing over failure will not bring us victory. You encountered a far worse situation than this in Storm's End 20 years ago. At that time, you But not discouraged."

The king looked at him, "The Onion Knight always speaks out against me, but you speak better. He should learn from you. Do you know what they said when I showed the letter to my men?"

Stannis' tone was a little low, "They all agreed that you would betray me and seek refuge in King's Landing. I have faced so many betrayals that I have even gotten used to it. I found that I have no talent for loyalty, at least compared to Robert and Renly. Not as good as them. Robert can make enemies loyal to him, and even Renly has Loras Tyrell and others who would not betray him."

"You have Ser Davos by your side, and Ser Axell Florent... They are all sworn to you, Your Majesty."

There was a hint of mockery on his face, "They really should listen together, I know what Yasser wants, and he wants to replace his brother Alister Florent as my former Prime Minister."

"They suggested that I send troops to the Isle of Crab in Celtiga, to let the Seven Kingdoms know the consequences of betraying me, and at the same time boost our morale with victory, what do you think, ser?" asked the king.

"Except for plundering some materials, there is not much effect, at least I think so. Capturing Crab Island will not increase our soldiers, nor will it increase our ships, it will only increase our enemies Become more."

Stannis nodded. "So what's your idea?"

Cole thought for a moment, "Your Majesty, you can deprive Adrian Celtiga of his title by the king's order, and then confer a new Earl of Crab Island and let him come to Dragonstone to take the oath."

"The Onion Knight praised your wisdom, and he also persuaded me, so that I would not adopt this suggestion of pure revenge and anger. The king should protect every inch of Westeros and every innocent person. The guilty are Adrian Celtigar, not the innocents on Crab Island.

"I made Davos kneel down, and pulled out the 'Lightbringer' on his shoulders, and I canonized him as lord, and at the same time made him my Hand of the King. He refused, very decisively, he told Me: You have someone more suitable."

Cole froze.

"At that time, everyone was affirming your betrayal, but Davos told me that you sent the letter to Dragonstone and Mace Tyrell. I'll write you a letter."

The king stood up. "Sometimes I even think I am less clever than a smuggler. Will you be my King's Hand, ser?"

He held out his hand, "Don't rush to refuse, I know Tywin wants you to be the Duke of Storm's End."

The king walked up to the map, "Storm's End is my family's fortress. When he conquered Aegon, he granted this castle and the Stormlands to my ancestors. I shouldn't give him to others." He pointed Referring to the Stormlands on the map, "This is a kingdom, but it is called the Seven Kingdoms. It's ridiculous."

"My former Prime Minister wrote a letter to King's Landing saying he was insulting me to marry my Shireen to Cersei's incestuous bastard in his own right."

Stannis looked a bit complicated, "I will choose an honorary husband for her. Cole, would you like to marry Shireen?"

Cole sat there motionless.

"But you have to wait for her to come of age before you can get married."
