Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 160 The Will
"Master Cole, you are finally back." Gilbert greeted him happily.

He had a tired smile on his face, and the ancient city walls of Storm's End were being washed away.

The servant took the hooded woolen cloak for him.

Cole put on his cloak, "It was a bad trip, any news from Dragonstone Island?"

"Since Camillo led his people away, there have been no ravens from Dragonstone." Gilbert thought for a while, "However, there are a few big ravens from Sunspear, and Prince Martell hopes to get along with them." We maintain a correspondence."

"Prince Doran?"

Gilbert nodded.

From the mouth of Prince Oberyn, Cole learned that he was another Uncle Martell.

If Oberyn is a group of brave and aggressive flames, then Doran is the shadow hidden under the flames.

Oberyn described him as "calm, cautious, and sickly."

The "indomitable" Martell family has never wanted to stay out of things like Arryn in the Vale.

They are waiting for their chance.

A nominally orthodox opportunity.

The sentry in the gatehouse greeted them, and Cole walked in side by side with him. The arched doorway could pass at least four carriages side by side, and there were iron gates and iron-inlaid gates hanging in the way.

After entering the gatehouse, there is an avenue leading directly to the main tower. The stables are built beside the main building. They rode their horses over, and the stableboys who were waiting under the stables to shelter from the rain ran towards this side with the muddy water trampled on.

Stepping up the steps into the main building, the oak doors of the hall are open, and the servants and soldiers of the castle occasionally walk through it. Cole shakes his cloak, rows of dining tables are set up in the hall, and the castle is already set up to welcome the castellan. dinner party.

After grilling some fresh fish and onions and drinking some wine, he asked Gilbert about the current situation of Storm's End at the dinner party. After that, Cole took a hot bath and finally had a solid sleep.

When he was woken up, it was already noon the next day.

Gilbert told him that Camillo was back.

They waited at the Watergate, which was the passage from the castle to the water of Shipbreaker Bay.

Waiting for the ship flying the white bird flag to come slowly.

Camillo, Davos Seaworth, Hugh Granderson... Many familiar faces, but only Stannis, Shireen and others were missing.

Thinking they were placed on a merchant ship in the rear, he got up first to meet the warriors.

The Onion Knight came to him with a blank face, he silently glanced at Cole, and tried to force a slightly haggard smile, "Your Highness."

This title really made Cole stunned for a moment, "Davos, it's great that you can successfully break through."

He just shook his head silently.

Cole didn't know what he meant by shaking his head, but continued to walk towards the next person. The much stronger Camillo straightened his back, "Master Cole."

Patted his shoulder armor, "Not bad, thank you for your hard work."

Camillo saluted with fists.

"Bachelor." Cole continued to move.

Pylos saluted him, "Your Highness."

"Which ship is the king on?" When Cole turned around and came back, he asked the Onion Knight full of doubts.

Davos glanced at Maester Pylos, and the Maester of Dragonstone took out a parchment scroll with the seal of the Baratheon family of Dragonstone Island on it. He unfolded the parchment and said loudly: " Lord Stannis I of the Baratheon family has written a will, and all my lords are here to bear witness."

Cole looked at the parchment and stood there in shock.

Pylos unfolded his will and declared, "I make my will in the name of Stannis I of House Baratheon."

He read the last sentence, then raised the parchment above his head, "This edict is witnessed by me and the hand of the king." He handed the parchment to Cole, "His Royal Highness the Prince Regent."

"Prince Regent!" Someone shouted.

Afterwards, the entire water gate of Storm's End boiled, and the shouts of the soldiers almost roared, like bursts of drums exploding in the sky.

Cole took the will with a blank mind, looking at the two muddy handprints and the signature of Maester Pylos on it.

All he could see was boiling cries, and his Adam's apple jumped up and down a little, swallowing the question marks in his stomach.

Glancing at the sea, Cole gathered the sheepskin, nodded his head and looked around, and then said to the knights and lords in front of him, "Go to the castle first."

He led the way with a solemn expression.

All the flags in the hall were removed and replaced with black curtains.

Cole met Davos in the study. In the will, he was appointed as the Hand of the King for life, which shows that at the end of his life, Stannis entrusted him with the funeral.

Davos glanced at the wooden door, then walked into the study.

Cole was standing on the window sill. He went over and brought a chair and placed it next to the desk. "My lord, please take a seat."

He turned back to his seat and lifted the copper flagon to set wine for him.

Pushing the wine glass in front of him, Cole said, "What happened?"

"It's my fault." Onion Knight blamed himself, "I failed to protect His Majesty the King."

bang~
Cole punched the table, "Davos, I didn't ask you to come here to say something about your guilt. I want to know what happened to Dragonstone Island?"

Davos looked into his eyes and sighed, "The king was shot through the chest by their crossbow arrows when he led us to resist the attack of the Golden Company."

He saw the Prince Regent lowering his forehead slightly, closing his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again, "What about Shireen and Queen Florent?"

"Aren't they in Storm's End?"

Cole frowned, "They didn't break out with you?"

Davos shook his head, "When the Golden Company attacked for the first time, Ser Roland Storm suggested that we retreat. But His Majesty believed that it was his duty to defend Storm's End, so only Ser Roland and Axel Frow Sir Lun took the Queen and Her Highness the Princess, Her Highness Edric the Storm, Melisandre and the others left through the secret door, and took the ferry to Storm's End to seek help."

In fact, the king wanted to entrust him with this task at first, but the onion knight told the king: the king's hand should stay by the king's side.

He always thought that they brought the news to Storm's End, and only then did reinforcements rush to help.

"They never made it to Storm's End."

Haven't been to Storm's End?In an instant, the Onion Knight's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. It was only about two days' journey from Dragonstone Island to Storm's End.They should have arrived long ago.

The smuggler Davos is very familiar with this sea area. How many ships have been swallowed by it. Every time the crew goes to sea, they have to face an unknown fate. A storm or a rock may destroy a ship.

It was a storm that wiped out House Targaryen's Royal Fleet during the latter stages of the War of the Usurper.

He used to pray to the blacksmith every time he went to sea, so would the ship full of followers of the Lord of Light be blessed by the gods?
