Chapter 233 Queen’s Crown

Green showed a pleasant smile and said: "Miss Margaery, you are even more charming. Praise the gods."

The corners of Little Rose's mouth curved slightly and she said, "Welcome, Mr. Earl, who has come from afar."

As she spoke, she gently stretched the back of her hand toward Green.

Green leaned forward slightly, lifted Little Rose's fingertips, and tapped the back of her white hand.

After the ceremony, Margaery's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at the "beauty" Brienne standing behind Green. She was very conspicuous.

Seeing Margaery Tyrell looking at her, Brienne first glanced at Greene, then bowed slightly shyly again: "Good day, Queen Tyrell, no, miss."

Margaery walked up to the tall Brienne and said sincerely: "Brenne, I'm so happy to see you well."

Brienne lowered her face, with shame in her tone: "I'm sorry, I didn't protect...him."

She added: "They...many people suspect that I am the murderer."

Margaery stretched out her hand, and a pair of slender hands grasped a broad hand. She shook her head slightly and said, "Brenny, you are not a murderer. I believe in your oath and loyalty."

Brienne's thick lips moved and said, "I will avenge him."

Margaery's face turned sad. She patted the rough back of the hand and said, "You served him loyally and bravely. Now I hope you can live well, Brienne."

Seeing Brienne's silence, Green spoke at the right time: "Miss Margaery, please rest assured, Brienne is my squire, and I appreciate her very much."

Margaery tapped her chin, not minding Brienne's dullness at all, and said sincerely: "Brenne, congratulations, Earl Green is an excellent knight."

…………

The garden of the Long Table Hall was filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and Green and Margaery were walking in it.

Little Rose's voice was clear and sweet: "Count Matus told me that my father has set out from Highgarden, and he will gather some troops along the way."

Green's brown eyes moved slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "Miss Margery, can you know the specific time?"

Margaery shook her head slightly and said, "It happened too suddenly. I think I will never forget the scene that night."

Her expression turned gloomy: "The respected Earl Landao was assassinated... My Ten Blade Guard (Chapter 79) came to protect me..."

Little Rose's little face raised slightly, she paused, and took a breath.

After walking a few steps, Little Rose turned her head and looked at Green. The corners of her eyes were slightly red. She forced a smile and said, "Earl Green, I think you don't have to wait too long. You can wait with peace of mind."

The atmosphere was a little solemn. Little Rose "shared" her sorrows and joys with Green? is it possible? !

All I can say is...the female players in Game of Thrones are becoming more and more mature.

Compared to before, she was a little more attentive to me, cough.

…………

Upon seeing this, Green couldn't help but show a look of pity on his face, but he quickly hid it... But these changes did not escape a pair of wet eyes.

Green looked away, coughed slightly, and said: "Miss Margery, I have been used to life and death since I was a child... I'm sorry, I can't empathize with you."

Margaery just nodded silently.

After a moment of silence, Green sighed: "Miss Margaery, do you still remember that incident? Last year, the plant maze in Highgarden... I have an unspoken suggestion (Chapter 85)."

Margery thought for a moment and said, "Of course I remember. You seemed to be very sorry at the time?"

Green coughed lightly and said, "I'm sorry, I was a soft-spoken person at that time. It was not a good time at that time."

He smiled lightly: "Even if it is the same sentence, if it is placed in different situations, it is likely to have different effects."

He paused: "And..."

After a pause, Green shrugged and said: "Miss Margery, I have to admit... your beauty makes me addicted, which makes me unable to deceive you. My heart allows me to be honest with you. Maybe the temporary concealment has already stopped. It’s the limit of what I can do.”

After Green's words fell, Margery's eyes became moist. She turned her little face to the other side and said softly: "I will treasure the gift you gave me. It is very sweet, my knight."

She turned her head to look at Green and said, "Earl Green, you always have a way to make me happy. Thank you for your compliment."

Green bowed slightly and said, "May the gods always love you, my beautiful and charming lady."

Margaery responded gently and said: "May the gods bless you to win, brave knight."

Green was stunned. Seeing this, Margaery chuckled and said, "Earl Green, I think the war between the Crab Claw Peninsula and the Valley will soon be known to all the seven countries."

She added: "Normally, you should be in Seagull Town at this time, but you showed up in the Long Table Hall. I'm actually a little surprised."

"I have to admit that I am also deeply fascinated by your wisdom..."

After a pause, Green spread his hands and continued: "Miss Margaery, I have brought you a real gift. This is also my unspoken proposal in the plant maze."

The corners of Margaery's mouth raised slightly, showing a sweet smile, and said: "You found the right occasion, and I... finally waited for your advice?"

Green made a gesture of flattery and solemnly said: "I have brought you the crown of the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms."

Margaery's pupils shrank suddenly, and she stood still for a while, but then she suddenly approached Green.

Margaery stared up at Green, and placed a slender hand on Green's chest. Her movements were elegant and gentle.

After a pause, she said: "Knight Green, who are you here on behalf of?"

Green looked down at the little rose and replied: "Miss Margery, I represent the king and the Royal Council."

Margaery's brown eyes moved slightly and said: "Knight Green, Stannis's army will march to King's Landing soon."

"This is a rare opportunity..."

After saying that, Green took half a step back and said with a slight embarrassment: "I'm sorry, you made me a little... nervous..."

Margaery laughed, her laughter was sweet.

After coughing slightly, he added: "Miss Margaery, Stannis Baratheon only looks powerful, and..."

There was a glimmer of light in his eyes: "The Duke of Metz allowed him to eat rat meat fifteen years ago, and I believe he can still eat it again fifteen years later."

Little Rose smiled like a flower: "Earl Green, I think my father will be very happy to see you."

Green raised his eyes and looked into the distance and said: "Miss Margaery, the Seven Kingdoms are in chaos. Today's kingdom is in great need of a pillar like the Duke of Metz."

Little Rose blinked and mentioned her father, Earl Green still looked respectful.

Does Lord Green admire her? Yes, she could feel his fascination with her. But... Earl Green is like one of her many admirers, there is not much difference.

This made sense, because Earl Green was sober, and she thought he was well aware of the difference between his identity and her own, so he would never act in any other way to offend.

The right amount of admiration...the right distance...the sweet tongue...the honest heart...these made her feel comfortable and happy when getting along with him.

It's all reasonable, or... isn't it a little too reasonable? !

Combined with Earl Green's admiration for her father... Although she was full of confidence in her beauty, she was a little doubtful at the moment... Earl Green's love for her... could it be that she fell in love with Wujiwu because of her father?

is it possible? Margaery had to admit that the person in front of her could easily throw her thoughts into confusion.

…………

Margery smiled softly at first, then gestured and took steps.

As she walked, she said: "Earl Green, I am a little curious about you. If you allow me... can you satisfy my curiosity?"

Green's eyes moved slightly, and he made a gesture of invitation.

Margaery looked at Greene with her elk-like eyes and said, "Earl Greene, where will the marigolds bloom?"

The keen Lord Green can sense that Little Rose is wary of him... Well, it seems that it has always been like this.

"Happy to serve you..."

Green smiled and said, "To be honest, your question is related to Kleib's future."

He held out three fingers and continued: "One for Crab Claw Peninsula, one for Valley, and one for Junlin."

"Oh?" Margery's eyes trembled imperceptibly, and she seemed to be very interested in Green's answer.

Green retracted his hand and said slowly: "The first marigold, I mean to restore the rule of the Kleb family in the Crab Claw Peninsula. This goal has been achieved. The second marigold, I mean The hatred between the Crab Claw Peninsula and the Valley, I think the only way to dissipate the flames of hatred is to decide the winner."

He sighed softly: "The Red Castle's blockade of the Crab Claw Peninsula for more than ten years is still fresh in my memory, so Kleb wants to have his own voice in the Red Castle. This is the third marigold."

Green shrugged: "Hopefully I can make it happen soon, and... thank you for listening, Miss Margery."

Margaery shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "Earl Green, thank you for satisfying my curiosity, and thank you for your honesty."

"Happy to serve you."

After walking silently for a while, Margaery slowly stopped.

She turned around and looked at Green, and said: "Earl Green, I will convey your kindness to the Duke of Highgarden as soon as possible."

…………

Stormlands, Stannis' camp.

Davos Seaworth sat alone by the campfire at night.

His "god" easily took back the inheritance left by his brother. The camp was filled with laughter, but the Onion Knight couldn't laugh like the others, and his brows knitted into a knot.

Before they raided the Bitterbridge camp, Randyll Tarly, the leader of the Reach army, died mysteriously. Although he didn't want to think about it, he had to recall the shadow magic he witnessed that night.

On top of that Stannis was getting older, which worried him greatly.

Ser Davos looked at the King's Road in the distance, and he murmured in his heart: Everything has a price.

Suddenly, Davos felt a strange blush coming towards him. He turned his head warily and found Melisandre in red.

Melisandre's voice was low and hoarse: "Onion Knight, are you okay?"

When did she get there? He felt that the actions of the red priestess were becoming more and more frightening.

Sir Davos said as calmly as possible: "I'm fine."

Melisandre moved her steps and slowly sat down by the campfire, not far or near from the Onion Knight.

Her red eyes flickered in the light of the bonfire: "Sir, everyone is celebrating victory."

Sir Davos picked up the leather wine bag and took a sip, and said, "Madam in red robe, I may like to celebrate alone."

Melisandre curled her lips upwards, smiled, and said: "I hope I didn't disturb you, Onion Knight."

Ser Davos just shrugged.

Melisandre also looked towards the direction of King's Road and said: "King Stannis is about to reach the pinnacle of glory. This is the guidance of the Lord of Light. You will witness it with your own eyes."

Ser Davos withdrew his gaze, and he couldn't help but said: "I only witnessed the aging King Stannis."

Melisandre chuckled lightly, pointed to the bonfire, and said: "Sir Davos, I am just like it. I am the tool of the Lord of Light, and I am also the tool arranged by the Lord of Light for the Sons of Fire. I exist. There is only one purpose...and that is to block the darkness. Do you understand?"

Davos's character did not allow him to lie. He said directly: "Lady Melisandre, you are the mother of darkness."

Melisandre laughed again: "Can the heroic Onion Knight be afraid of a shadow?"

Her tone became softer: "Shadow is the servant of light, it is the descendant of the flame. However, the king's flame is too weak to absorb any more, otherwise it will kill him."

Her voice was full of temptation: "I told you that there is a hot fire burning in your body (Chapter 214), but you did not visit my room... As King Stannis' Onion Knight, I promise to bring you Give you unprecedented pleasure, and I will use the fire of your life to bring it to your king..."

"A terrifying monster."

Responding coldly, Sir Davos frowned and said: "Lady Melisandre, I don't want to have anything to do with you or your god."

Melisandre sighed and said: "Sir Davos, you are an upright and kind knight, but you cannot see the truth of the world."

It took more courage for the smugglers to face the red priestess, so Ser Davos took another sip of wine, which made him less afraid.

He raised doubts: "The truth? Aren't those things I saw with my own eyes the truth?"

"See clearly the nature of the world, the truth surrounds you, and everything is clear at a glance."

Melisandre looked up at the night sky and continued: "The night is dark and dangerous everywhere, the day is bright and vigorous. One black, one white. One ice, one fire. Hate and love, bitter and sweet, female and male, pain and joy, winter and summer, evil and good.”

The big ruby ​​around her neck seemed to be pulsing rhythmically: "Death or life, the opposition has existed since ancient times, and war is everywhere."

Davos raised his eyebrows and asked, "War?"

Melisandre's eyes turned to Davos, she nodded slightly and replied: "Yes, war."
