Chapter 24 Broken Pure Iron

The son of a whore knows that there is a mysterious and powerful force within him.

God's blessing?magic?witchcraft?
For four days, he gradually mastered this power.He began to think that the Stranger might come and take him later.

today, or decades from now.

He looked at the man next to him.This is the only one who has been in contact with him in the past few days.

He gave the man a name that only he knew - "Silver Deer".In any case, that precious silver deer allowed him to enjoy food and tranquility for a few days.

Silver Deer took him to the central square next to the Alchemist Guild.

"The Duke of Stannis is going to inspect the Royal Fleet in the port. He will come from the north. From here to the mud road in the middle of the port and the fishermen's square is your chance."

"Don't worry, I'll watch over you."

After explaining his words, Silver Deer disappeared into the crowd.

He stood blankly on the edge of the square.

A face passed nearby, man, woman, child, old man, where was Stannis?

After searching for a long time, he finally found a face that gradually became larger and clearer.

A mean face that made him dream about it every night.

He gripped the knife in his sleeve.

He quietly leaned over.

Stannis walked gravely, as if going to war.

He was unhappy with Robert's decision.

After Lord Jon, I shall be Robert's Hand!
I have worked tirelessly in this position for so many years, but he only loves Ed!
That's right, how could the king, who was obsessed with entertainment, banquets and women, be optimistic about his second brother, who was not close to women, who was serious all day long and never smiled?
Stannis knew this but could not understand it.

Renly, who only joked and wasted time in tourneys, was favored by the family's Storm's End and Big Brother.

All he got was Robert's taunt and a few stones on the narrow sea.

What is Dragonstone? !

I am the rightful heir to the Iron Throne!

It's a pity that only he himself admits this fact.The only ally, Prime Minister Jon, was also murdered.

Almost immediately after that, the king decided to go north to Winterfell, without thinking of him as a second brother at all.Naturally, Stannis was in a bad mood.

He decided to stay away from the loathsome, dark and dangerous place of King's Landing.

"Davos, are you ready?"

He asked the Onion Knight next to him, but his tone was stiff as if he was interrogating.

Davos Seaworth has long been accustomed to the character of the Duke, and calmly replied, "We can set sail tomorrow, and all the ships are ready. Aren't you going to inspect?"

Stannis not only wants to go by himself, but also plans to take most of the fleet in the port to Dragonstone.

After all, he is still the court's sea minister.

"Very well, tell Dragonstone Island to make preparations in advance."

Stannis continued with his plans.

He knew the Lannisters wouldn't let it go, that Robert might not be safe anymore, and he needed to plan ahead.

Dragonstone is at the throat of King's Landing, and the fleet...

The son of a whore draws near to his enemy.He drew half of the knife from his sleeve.

The enemy was talking to a person, it was a good opportunity, but unfortunately there are still a circle of soldiers around, he needs to see the timing before acting.

"Davos, what's the sea condition in Blackwater Bay, are there enough supplies? How did the soldiers respond to the voyage?"

Davos answered patiently one by one, but at the same time secretly surprised.

According to what he knew about the duke, he would not normally ask about such matters, and the subordinates would take care of them on their own. Why is this happening today?

Stannis stepped onto the dirt road.

Although it is called a mud road because it is close to the river bank, the stone road on the ground can still pass a large number of pedestrians smoothly.

There are as many people here today as ever.

With the cover of the crowd, the knife gradually approached the target from below the waist height.

The guarding soldiers were still very tight.

The Duke of Dragonstone came to the more crowded Fishermen's Square.

Fishermen, small traders, laborers who just crossed the river into the city, poor people scattered everywhere begging, cheap prostitutes...

Finally, a soldier was hit by a drunk man and was getting rid of the drunk man's entanglement.

The knife saw the gap!

For a moment, Davos saw an unusual flash, and his heart sank.

The knife stabbed the duke!

Davos managed to make a sound. "There are assassins! Protect the Duke!!"

The soldiers came to their senses and drew their swords.

But the assassin hit with one blow and disappeared into the crowd.

"Duke! How are you?"

Davos supported Stannis worriedly, the strong breastplate and chain mail were pierced, and a knife wound oozing blood burst open on the Duke's chest!
Stannis caught a glimpse of the assassin's face.

He was still thinking about the assassin's face, it was young and familiar, who could it be?
Stannis said nothing as the pain invaded his consciousness, cold sweat dripping from his brow.The soldiers hurriedly escorted the Duke back home on the same road as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Stannis lay on the bed, his bloodied upper body naked.

A group of cronies gathered around the bed, and a team of guards stood guard inside and outside the room, and the atmosphere was extremely chilling.

very lucky.

The knife hadn't hurt Stannis' guts, just flesh.

After the dressing, the Duke seemed to be in good condition, but his face was slightly pale and stiff.

He finally remembered.

"The bastard son of a whore!"

Davos hadn't reacted yet, "Duke, what did you say?"

"The assassin is the illegitimate son of a prostitute. I saw him in the throne room. He really didn't respect the law!"

Stannis understood the reason for today's accident.

Isn't it just that a murderer was executed according to the laws of the kingdom, and this illegitimate child actually holds a grudge and wants to avenge himself? !
Everyone should understand that the law is the law and cannot be influenced by personal emotions, nor should the individual judge be blamed.

Sure enough, since the illegitimate child is born unclean, he will grow into a chaotic and evil thug!
Stannis waved his hand, motioning the crowd to back off.

"It's okay, just an ignorant thug, I'm fine."

Everyone relaxed and gradually left.

Davos also felt that it was reasonable, but the uneasiness in his heart was hard to eliminate.

"Duke, there is no need to delay. All the preparations have been completed. Why don't we set off tonight? To avoid further danger."

"You think I'm afraid? The itinerary remains the same. Prepare dinner for me."

Davos had to obey.

in the kitchen.

Some of the clerks and servants were snoring against the wooden fireplace box, and some were chatting about gossip and rumors in low voices.

The chef patted the backs of the boys' heads one by one, "Lazy guy, get moving! Your Excellency the Duke wants to eat!"

Dick, the cook, didn't slack off, but he took a hit too.

He couldn't help cursing the old guy silently in his heart.Relying on his age and qualifications, he doesn't treat us as human beings at all, so sooner or later he will look good!
Dick's work was complicated and tiring.

Cutting and serving dishes, cleaning the kitchen, taking care of the cooking, running errands to deliver meals, and serving the so-called seniors.

He didn't want to do it a long time ago, and now he has a great opportunity.

Dick looked around, but no one paid attention here, he quietly took out a paper bag from his arms, and poured the white powder into the soup.

Recalling the shining golden dragon in that person's hand, the last trace of hesitation and fear in his heart was also dispelled.

He took the spoon and vigorously stirred the venison soup in the pot several times.

……

"The Duke!"

Davos almost chopped up the chefs with his eyes!
"Pull him down!"

The two soldiers took one look at the duke, dragged the screaming, writhing, maggot-like traitor roughly out of the room, and put an end to the guy.

"Duke, this is not an accident, someone is indeed trying to harm you, we need to leave immediately!"

Stannis made no objection.If he drank the soup first, it would not be a cook but himself who fell livid on the ground.

It was almost midnight.

Stannis headed straight for the port with a large group of people, and the gold robes did not dare to stop him rashly.

A pair of eyes in the darkness saw them.

During the day, Silver Deer announced the failure of the operation.Stannis is not dead.

Silver Deer said that he still has one night.If you still can't succeed, then there is no chance again.

After that he never saw the silver deer again.

He wandered around the Fisherman's Square.Even he himself didn't know what he was thinking.

Now, he saw a huge team of hundreds of people.The torches shone on their armor and swords, reflecting the serious and cautious faces.

Mom, you asked me to live a good life that day, I remember it.

I am sorry.

It seems that Stranger is destined to avenge you!

He didn't think about anything, he just rushed towards the face in the center of the fire.

"Be alert, there is movement!"

Under the flames, the knife in the enemy's hand seemed to glow red.

Just a scruffy boy who doesn't know martial arts.

The knights and guards slashed at the enemy with precision.

No one expected that the enemy would rush to the Duke's side as if unharmed!

The knife plunged into Stannis' chest again and did not come out again.Hot flames poured into Stannis' heart, searing his soul.

The duke stared intently at the assassin's face.

He opened his mouth feebly, exhaled a wisp of black-red smoke, and exhaled his own breath of life.

In the face of fire and steel, iron that never yielded, black and hard, that would break before it could be bent, Stannis, broke.

Davos groaned silently.He couldn't move his throat at all.

The assassin stood motionless.

Davos used all his strength to strike a sword full of killing intent.

The assassin's body fell limply to the ground, his head rolled aside, eyes open.

After a few seconds.

The moment the whore son's eyes were completely dark, Joffrey opened his eyes far away in the riverland...
