Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 164 Trading
Remove the Martell sun from the sealing wax.

The letter was written by Prince Doran himself, and the big raven flew over the Crimson Mountains, bringing Prince Dorne's kind greetings.

According to the letter, Prince Oberon Martell had left King's Landing and was about to return to Dorne via the Bone Road, and invited him to Sunspear as a guest.

And at the moment Cole can't get away to Dorne.

In the past few days, teams have come towards Storm's End one after another, and the Evening Star Selwyn Tas from the Evening Hall came first.

The coat of arms of House Tarth is a quartered coat of arms consisting of a yellow sun on a rose background and a white moon on a sky blue background.

Earl Selwyn Tarth was over fifty years old, his hair was grizzled, showing his old age.

When Cole went out to meet him, the old earl knelt on one knee and swore his loyalty to him, hoping that Cole would spare his daughter.

Cole accepted his big gift, and at the same time quickly sent someone to bring out Brienne Tass from the dungeon. After seeing the intact "beauty", Lord Selwyn breathed a sigh of relief.

The prison obviously did not dissipate her rage of revenge against Cole, and her eyes were still fierce, as if she wanted to tear him apart with her teeth.

Selwyn glanced at Cole nervously, seeing that he didn't care.

"Don't expect me to kneel for you." Her tone was stubborn.

Cole just shrugged his shoulders, and he turned to Selwyn, "Your Excellency, Duskstar, the noble daughter has been brought for you, let's talk slowly next."

"Thank you very much, Your Royal Highness."

Nodding his head, Cole walked out into the hall, leaving his father and daughter staring at each other.

"Father, why are you here?" Brienne's eyes were full of complexity.

Evening Star raised his eyebrows and looked serious, "You idiot, do you know what you're doing?"

Of course she knew, "You sent them to Storm's End."

"It's really the decision I regret the most."

"I am Lord Renly's rainbow guard, and I must abide by my duties."

Selwyn raised his head to see his daughter's face. Her large body didn't look like a woman at all. He had looked for three marriages for her. Evening Star knew that those guys were just greedy for her inheritance, but Bree With Ni's appearance, how many men in the Seven Kingdoms are willing to marry her?
What's more, the chivalry she admired in her heart also ran counter to the ladylike spirit of the Seven Kingdoms.

The last one who would marry her was a knight older than Selwyn.

"He's dead. Renly is a dead man now, a ghost. Should he lose his life for a dead man?" asked his father.

Brienne looked at him in bewilderment and said, "I made a vow"

Selwyn looked at his silly daughter and sighed, "You are not a knight at all, Brienne. Although Renly asked you to be his bodyguard, no one is willing to canonize you under the witness of the gods."

She lowered her head, her dry yellow hair falling down weakly.

"Go home, go back to Evening Hall." Father continued, "I will find a marriage for you later."

"No." She shook her head firmly. "Father, I can already protect myself and know what I'm doing."

Looking at his daughter's stubborn appearance, he shook his head, "I won't allow you to do any more stupid things."

"I'll ask the maid to take you to change clothes." He smelled the smell of his daughter, "I still need to take a bath. I will take you to apologize to His Royal Highness in a while."

As if seeing what Brienne was going to say, Selwyn continued: "I have sworn loyalty to him. Renly's death was not your fault, you have done your duty, child, people die and swear , if you don’t want to follow me, go home.”

Brienne nodded.

She followed the maid, and it was not until half an hour later that the maid rushed to tell Earl Selwyn that Miss Brienne was gone.

In the study, the soldier walked in with her.

Cole was sitting in front of the desk with a book. Her hands were tied and she was pushed to the desk. The soldiers tried to force her to kneel down, but she was pushed away.

Brienne's face and clothes were covered in dirt and dust, and there was some blood on her body.

Cole waved his hand to signal them to stop, "It seems that the food in the dungeon is not bad, and you seem to be very energetic."

Brienne just snorted.

"Your father's only condition is that I forgive your sins." Cole put down the book, "Do you know what crime you will be convicted of robbing the castle's finances?"

She snatched a war horse from the stable, and then rushed out of the gate of Storm's End, but was tripped at the gate.

"Should I charge you with stealing, or robbery?" Cole asked her. "The punishment for stealing is to cut off the severed finger. You should be glad that there were no casualties."

"You want to judge me?" Brienne stared at his handsome face, "Then I'll ask for a trial by combat."

She made no excuses and was very decisive.

Cole couldn't help chuckling, "Is this your plan?"

No, she really intends to take a horse and rush out of Storm's End.

"Of course you have the right." Cole said, "But I just promised your father to be lenient with you, and you haven't thought about his feelings?"

Brienne froze for a moment, she was still feeling a little happy that Cole agreed to trial by combat.

People say that he is a good old man, this is true for his family, friends, and civilians in the territory.But in Brienne's eyes, he was just an old man, his forehead and face were already covered with knife marks of time, after his brother Caledon drowned, he aged faster, now The thinning hair was pale.

Thinking of her father's persuasion outside the hall, Brienne fell silent.

"I know, you always think that I killed Renly." Cole said, "It's hard to say, we can't ask everyone to justify the truth and hypocrisy in the words, but this is the case, I can give you a revenge for him." Opportunity."

Brienne looked up.

"But there is a price." He continued, "I agree with your trial by combat, but if you lose, I will not kill you."

Brienne's face showed anger, and Cole's contempt hurt her. Did he think he would win?

Cole just smiled, "The price is that you have to do something for me."

"I will not serve you."

Cole shook his head, "No, you are not serving me, this is just a deal. If you can defeat me in the trial by combat, then this deal will be void, and I will not ask you to do things that violate your beliefs .”

Brienne's eyes flickered with hesitation, and she asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Find someone and bring her back to Storm's End safely."

"Who?"

"Shireen Baratheon."
