Quanyou: I loaded the Demon Hunter system

Chapter 247 Too Noisy

The representative on Stannis' side is Earl Mountford Velaryon of Tidehead Island, who can be regarded as the core figure on Stannis' side.

The Velaryan family used to be the hard-core confidants of the Targaryen family. The two parties have been married to each other for quite a long time, and both parties are of ancient Valyrian blood.

In order to ensure his family's ability to control dragons, Targaryen regarded Velaryon as a backup blood bank.

But with the bloody dragon dance, this major event that changed the history of the entire Targaryen dynasty took place, and the glory of the Velaryon family was no longer, and it gradually lost the once pivotal power in the Xiahai Sea.

They went further and further away from their once close comrades-in-arms, the Targaryen family, and finally, when the Targaryen dynasty fell, they chose to betray them.

Stannis became the Duke of Dragonstone Island, acting as an agent for all military forces on the Westeros side of the Strait Sea. Of course, Tidehead Island became his subordinate. When he summoned his vassals on Dragonstone Island, Velaryon was also the first a responsive one.

With the attack of Stannis along the way, although he did not lose the battle, Earl Mountford Velaryon became more and more worried.

The reason is simple, there are too few forces on their side, and there are only more than 1 soldiers at full strength, and, that's all, there can't be more.

This kind of war potential that can be seen at a glance means that Stannis has never lost. If he loses once, he should have returned to Dragonstone Island to lick his wounds. It is impossible to occupy the throne like he is now.

The Earl of Velaryon once suggested that Stannis keep a fleet on Dragonstone Island, just to prevent someone from stealing Stannis's lair.

But how can Stannis's stubborn character be changed by him?

There was no way, Mumford could only take all the fleet and soldiers of Tidehead Island, and Stannis broke into King's Landing City, and was surrounded by Renly's army in the Red Keep.

When something happened to Dragonstone Island, he, one of the great nobles under Stannis, could only bite the bullet and negotiate with Renly.

Since the two sides had reached a de facto armistice agreement, Monford led the four great nobles under Stannis to reach Renly Baratheon in St. Baelor's Cathedral smoothly.

It's not surprising, because the nobles in this area are all acquaintances, and the face of Mountford Velaryon is the best passport. If it weren't for the fact that the two sides are now their own masters, they should be drinking with a smile at this moment.

In the main hall of St. Baylor's Cathedral, under the reflection of stained glass, the gorgeous relief paintings on the walls reveal a luxurious but old-fashioned strange feeling.

King Renly Baratheon, wearing a huge crown of golden antlers and wearing a dark green robe, sat on the high seat originally belonged to the archbishop, quietly waiting for his brother's guests.

Half of the sunlight hit him, making him look calm and profound.

When Mountford Velaryon entered the Great Sept of Baelor and saw Renly Baratheon sitting on a high place, his steps slowed down.

He had met Renly before, and Renly was the social expert of the Baratheon family before, and Mountford Velaryon and Renly maintained a very good personal relationship.

In his impression, Ren Li is a very optimistic person who doesn't pay attention to small details, and the overall feeling is like green leaves in spring.

But now, the person sitting on the high platform made him feel a deep sense of fatigue, and there was an almost suffocating silence between light and darkness.

After a long time, Mountford Velaryon heard Renly's hoarse voice:
"It's been a long time. Oh, Mumford, you're here on behalf of my brother. What are you going to tell me?"

The tone is very calm, but the more calm it is, the more it makes Monford feel that something is wrong.

He wasn't worried about Renly, they all belonged to the mud bodhisattvas crossing the river now, so they had no time to meddle with others.

It's just that he has to figure out why Renly became like this, so that he can play better in the next negotiation.

Now that he was in Renly's territory, calling him Duke Renly was obviously courting death, so Mountford Velaryon, who had a flexible bottom line, immediately thought of his own title.

"Your Majesty, it's been a long time. I remember that the last time we met was at His Majesty Robert's tournament in King's Landing. It has been many years."

A faint smile with the color of memory appeared on the face hidden in the shadows, but Monford Velaryon couldn't see it.

"Yes, but I really didn't expect that when we meet again, it will look like this. My brother has returned to the embrace of the gods, otherwise, he would have to beat me up."

For some reason, the Earl of Tidehead Island, who was standing in the light, could hear a sense of meaningless discouragement from Renly's words. It was only for a moment, and it seemed to be an illusion.

In fact, he heard correctly, Renly Baratheon, the child who lived in midsummer, really couldn't accept this incident.

When he was very young, he was the youngest of the three brothers, and he was also the most loved one. Although the two brothers had flaws in their personalities, they generally protected him.

When he grew up, his brother Robert rebelled with an army and eventually won the Iron Throne.

He, who was originally the third young master of the Baratheon family, became the third young master of the entire kingdom.

He was named the Duke of Storm's End and won the allegiance of almost all the Stormland nobles.

After that, he stayed in King's Landing and became the King's Minister of Justice, and with his personal charm, he has always lived in the praise of others.

And in this war, he pulled up the largest army in the Seven Kingdoms with almost no effort, advancing all the way, and now he is only one step away from the Red Fort.

But at this moment, the Tyrell family did a little trick behind his back, and by accident, it caused him to be at odds with Tyrell and the nobles of the Stormlands.

What aggrieved Renly the most was that no matter how he handled this matter, it was not good for him.

Stannis lost his only heir, and the Tarth family was easily fooled and lost their family fief. Renly was considered cruel or ignorant.

In short, everyone lost something more or less. The only one who won was the Tyrell family, which Renly knew but could never identify.

Because he, Renly Baratheon, needs to get the oath of loyalty from the Tyrell family. If the Tyrell family betrays him at this juncture, it means that Renly's road to becoming king is over.

By that time, there was no guarantee that Renly would survive.

Renly couldn't accept it, so he chose to support the Tyrell family, and he was notorious. However, for Renly, who felt good about himself, he formed a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't overcome.

Originally, the idea of ​​breaking into King's Landing all at once, ascending the Iron Throne, and regaining the old mountains and rivers suddenly faded a lot for some reason.

Because Renly has realized that if he continues like this, even if he ascends to the throne, he must be just a puppet of the Tyrell family, who ends up making wedding dresses for others.

Renly didn't want this, but there was nothing he could do.

He wanted to explain to his brother Stannis that he hadn't done what happened to Celine.

Childish and pale ideas are doomed to have no possibility of realization.

Because now, his elder brother has regarded him as the culprit who broke the rules first.

If Celine can't get it back, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two parties, and they will die forever.

"Your Majesty, we are here this time to ask His Majesty about Princess Celine on behalf of His Majesty Stannis."

"That was the work of pirates. I think His Majesty Renly has made it very clear."

Renly said nothing, and it was Mace Tyrell, Lord of Highgarden who was standing aside, who answered Mumford.

When he said this, his tone was hurried, as if he was rushing to answer, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at Renly who was sitting on the high platform.

For these Tyrells, Monford Velaryon didn't have any good feelings at all, so he directly replied:

"That's right, Mr. Inflatable Fish, are you a pirate who has the ability to wipe out hundreds of defenders on Dragonstone Island, but doesn't plunder much wealth, but only robs Princess Celine? Why didn't I know there are such bandits on the Narrow Sea?"

Being called this title that Mace Tyrell has always hated very much in person, the Duke of Highgarden blushed immediately, pointed at Monford Velaryon with trembling fingers as fat as carrots, and roared angrily:
"I say yes, believe it or not, your Stannis, anyway, now that his precious daughter is gone, what can you do?"

These words are very meaningless, and they don't sound like the words of a duke who holds a lot of power.

It's too low level.

But it's not surprising when you think about what this big inflatable fish has done.

This obviously rogue speech made Monford Velaryon stunned, he didn't know the ins and outs behind this matter.

How do you look at it, why is the Tyrell family so eager to jump out and kill this matter?

In the original discussion among these great nobles, Renly did this shit, so the Tyrell family will definitely not take a supportive attitude on this matter, and will even find ways to promote it and sit down. Renly's notoriety.

They are all playing politics, and no one has a pure heart.

But Duke Mace Tyrell's performance made people feel that he was eager to let everyone know that Renly did this, but Renly on the high platform did not say a word.

Before, in their private communication, Mountford Velaryon had told several people in this negotiation that, in all fairness, he didn't quite believe that Renly would do this.

Because as a child who grew up smelling flowers and drinking fine wine, Renly didn't have to bear family responsibilities, so, to a certain extent, he was the one who was most poisoned by chivalry.

It seems that there is no bottom line, but in fact, Renly has a higher moral bottom line than anyone else.

Reminiscent of the strange behavior of Renly and Mace Tyrell, Mountford Velaryon suddenly had an idea:
Could it be that Renly didn't do this?
He turned to the high platform, and half of his body was hidden in the shadows. King Renly saluted his chest and said loudly:
"Your Majesty Renly, as the emissary of His Majesty Stannis, I hope to have a chat with you alone, after all, I don't like the presence of some people, it's too noisy."

After the words fell, the Baylor Cathedral fell silent, and a needle could be heard.

All eyes were on Renly Baratheon, who had never expressed his attitude.

After a long time, a faint voice came lightly from the shadows.

他 说:

"it is good."
