Quanyou: I loaded the Demon Hunter system

Chapter 259

Mountford Velaryon still left the Great Sept of Baelor where Renly was, and returned to the Red Keep controlled by Stannis.

He wondered if what Renly had told him was true, and if so, then Mumford had to say something.

The Tyrell family is really daring.

He also understood why Renly had become like this.

A king who has already commanded an army of was taught a lesson by his vassals. What's there to let people know?
Mumford led his team back to the throne room.

Stannis is still sitting on the Iron Throne. Since he entered King's Landing, except for necessary departures, he has placed his body on this uncomfortable chair almost all the time.

This chair is his obsession, and everything Stannis does now is to ensure that he can sit here safely in the days to come.

Of course, this is just his delusion.

"Mumford, you're back."

It was already night at this time, hundreds of bright candles, plus ten burning braziers, could not dispel the darkness that was becoming thicker every second in the throne room.

Mumford noticed that Stannis was still wearing the blood-stained robe, but his cut palm had been bandaged.

In the Seven Kingdoms, there has always been a saying that if a brand new king is cut by its spikes when he sits on the throne, it means that the king is not recognized by the throne.

From the establishment of the Targaryen Dynasty to the present for a full 300 years, this rule, which absolutely did not appear in any classics, has become an iron law that everyone believes in.

Absurd, but true.

Of course the nobles under Stannis knew this rule, including Stannis himself, but everyone knew it. Even the nobles deliberately controlled their eyes and did not stay on the king's palm for more than half a second.

Because, they don't know what will happen to the king who lost his heir.

"Your Majesty, I'm back."

Mountford Velaryon saluted his now king, but said nothing.

He didn't know what to say to the king.

Stannis Baratheon did not give him a chance to be silent. He glanced at the other nobles around him and gave the king's order:
"Except for Lord Velaryon, everyone, go out. Without my order, don't go near the throne room tonight."

The nobles looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

Mumford Velaryon, brought back, I'm afraid it is not good news.

But Stannis' remaining prestige is still there, and no one dares to resist his orders.

So, the nobles with their own thoughts answered in unison to the king, bowed their heads and twisted their bodies, and left the dim throne room.

The heavy door was rumbled shut by the guard standing outside the door with a bang.

This voice sent a chill down the back of Mumford, who was firmly locked on by Stannis' icy eyes.

But he is very clear that this matter has nothing to do with him, and he is at best a mouthpiece for bad luck.

So, he braced himself, raised his head, and made silent eye contact with the aloof king.

"Mumford, right now, there are only two of us here. I hope that you are here and answer my question with your most sincere words."

"Yes, Your Majesty, as you wish."

Mountford Velaryon hadn't intended to hide it, because he had no reason to hide it.

Princess Celine is not in Renly's hands, Mumford believes it.

Taking a deep breath, Stannis tried to keep his voice steady as he asked:
"Then tell me, my daughter, have you found it?"

The Earl of Tidehead Island knew that Stannis would definitely ask this question as soon as he came up. During this time, he knew very well that Stannis himself was a rock without any flaws.

But this stone, with only one small crack, is his only daughter and heir, Princess Shirin.

It is also the only place that can break this stubborn stone.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I didn't find your daughter on Renly's side. To be precise, there is no trace of Princess Celine on Renly's side."

Mountford Velaryon decided to tell the truth. After all, he had to be responsible for his own words when he was talking nonsense, and he couldn't conjure up a Celine Baratheon out of thin air.

Hearing Mumford's words, Stannis' hand trembled, and he was about to be cut by the iron throne's spikes again.

"I met your younger brother, the fake king Renly. According to him, he didn't know about all this beforehand, and everything was planned by the Tyrell family behind his back."

"Tyrell? Do those timid roses have such a thing?"

Stannis has always looked down on the Tyrell family, because when the Baratheon family decided to win the entire Westeros war, the Tyrell family led the army and could not defeat the wind that Stannis insisted on. interest castle.

After his successful delay indirectly caused the collapse of the Targaryen royal army, King's Landing had no power to protect.

Only then did the subsequent dynasty fall and the new king ascend the throne.

Although people have always said that the Tyrell family had no intention of attacking the city with all their strength back then, Stannis insisted that it was due to his defense.

Therefore, he has always looked down on this group of high court roses who have no loyalty at all and are timid when they go to the battlefield.

So, when Mountford Velaryon told him that all this was done by the Tyrells, Stannis' first reaction was disbelief.

"Your Majesty, I'm just relaying what Renly said to me. He told me that Margaery Tyrell, a woman, took one of his tokens, and then designed it and handed it over to the unaware Earl of Tarth."

"The latter thought it was Renly's order, and took his fleet...to attack Dragonstone."

"Renly said that Tyrell did this to ensure that His Majesty, you and him will not die forever. In this way, the Tyrell family will not have to worry about being kicked down by Renly halfway."

Mumford shut up as soon as he spoke. He didn't want to get involved in this matter at all, but he had no choice but to be caught by Stannis, so he could only bite the bullet.

Stannis leaned back on the cold Iron Throne, closed his eyes, and considered Mumford's words carefully.

He is not a person who is easily swayed by emotions. Although he wants to save his daughter now, he knows that he must first judge who is telling the truth.

Because only those who tell the truth can indirectly help him find the whereabouts of his daughter.

It was possible, but Stannis was unwilling to admit it.

Generally speaking, what Renly told Mumford made sense.

Because if he was Renly, he wouldn't have done anything to Celine at all.

If Renly won the battle, he would already be king, so what's the point of being accused of kinslayer?How does this benefit him from sitting on the Iron Throne in the future?
If Renly didn't win, then he must have won.

Knowing that his elder brother is already the real king, as a younger brother, going to kill his niece, besides provoking his elder brother to kill him, what is the use?
Therefore, while Stannis was angry, he never understood why Renly did this.

This is not when he was a child, his eldest brother Robert was responsible for catching Renly, and he was responsible for teaching Renly.

The former brothers, now the only means of communication is the sword.

Stannis didn't know the internal situation of Renly's army, and the few words Mumford brought back today woke him up.

"Mumford, if this is the case, then my daughter should be in the hands of the Tath family. Renly has seen Celine from the beginning to the end, right?"

"It is such a majesty."

"Then have you seen Selwyn Tarth?"

"seen."

Mumford actually met the Earl of Tarth who was sneaked to King's Landing by Renly, and Renly did this without telling the Tyrell family.

Although he was forced to wipe the ass of the Tyrell family, it doesn't mean that he will really take the blame without knowing the truth.

On the surface, the Tarth family was seized by his king's order, but in fact, Renly sent someone absolutely reliable to bring him here.

With the arrival of Earl Tars, everything became completely clear.

But it's a done deal, and Renly can't change it. He can only be on guard against the Tyrell family in the future, and don't do similar things to him again.

Monford Velaryon met Earl Tarth, who had theoretically been deprived of his noble status, and heard him describe the ins and outs of the matter before he dared to come back to do business.

"What about my daughter? What does Selwyn Tarth say?"

Hearing this, Monford Velaryon shrank his head subconsciously.

He was the only one who knew about this matter. He was the only one who chatted with Earl Tas back then. Because the news was so explosive, the Earl of Chaotou Island chose to keep his mouth shut.

He held back until he came back, giving Stannis winks from the throne room, motioning for him to speak alone.

Finally came to this question, let him speak quickly, and he won't have to suffer any more.

"Your Majesty, Earl Tarth said that he was so angry with Renly's judgment that he gave away Princess Shirin..."

"..."

Stannis froze very visibly, looking silently at Mountford Velaryon, wondering if he had just misheard.

What does it mean to send someone away?
Can this be given away?
"Can you say that again."

There was some weariness in Stannis' tone.

"Uh, Your Majesty... Earl Tas really said that, he really gave away Princess Celine."

However, what greeted him was Stannis' roar:

"Who did he give my daughter to?!"

The voice was so loud that it was the worst gaffe that Stannis had seen after Monford Velaryon followed Stannis.

The roaring sound echoed in the empty throne room, sending out a strange echo.

Glancing up at Stannis' eyes that were about to eat people, Mountford Velaryon gritted his teeth and spit out the name that he didn't even think of:
"Daenerys Targaryen."

As soon as the voice fell, the quiet needle drop could be heard in the huge Throne Hall.

Stannis Baratheon pointed at Mountford Velaryon's hand and froze in midair.

Then, the king, who was in a turbulent mood, sat down slowly and leaned his tired body on the throne.

He closed his eyes, rubbed his forehead gently, and fell into deep thought.
