Game of Thrones: Dawn of Justice

Chapter 46 The idea of ​​searching for dragon eggs. Only with dragons can one be willful.
"Brother-in-law"

Ellery could feel the hot breath coming from Garlon as he spoke, and she began to stutter.

Garlon's words were obviously meant to tease her, but they also made the atmosphere somewhat ambiguous.

Ellery's breathing was a little rapid and her heart was pounding.

She stops Ashara and Garen from dancing.

The main reason was that he didn't want a beautiful girl like Ashara to have physical contact with Garen.

But now, wasn't she also dancing with Garlon, with Garlon half-hugging her?

From the perspective of her sister-in-law and family member, she was successful in doing so.

But what about from the perspective of men and women?
If Garen also had something for her...

Ellery's fair and dignified face turned red and her body became a little weak.

Garlon's teasing words brought back some immoral thoughts that had been buried deep in her heart for days.

Garlon felt that Ellery's body was a little stiff and her dance steps were a little slow, which forced him to increase the strength to hold Ellery's waist.

The touch of Ellery's slightly plump and slender waist was transmitted from his palms to his brain, and also made him feel a subtle feeling in his heart.

I have to say that the identity of sister-in-law does give people a strange feeling.

With Garlon's hand on her waist, Ellery moved closer to Garlon. Her current state was almost the same as if she had thrown herself into Garlon's arms.

Although Ellery was in its early stages of development, the small hillock was already of a certain size and lightly touched Garlon's ribs.

Both of them couldn't help but breathe a little hotter.

"Brother-in-law, do you know Miss Ashara?"

In order to break this charming atmosphere, Ellery spoke with a slightly trembling voice.

Garen smiled and said, "Before the tournament started, I met her once by the Divine Eye Lake."

"just one time?"

Ellery's emerald eyes couldn't help but blink. She didn't expect that Garen had only met Ashara once.

"Yeah, I'm a little weird too."

Garen chuckled helplessly and shook his head. He didn't understand why Ashara would be so proactive towards him after only meeting him once.

"Why are you so surprised? She must like you."

Ellery's cheeks were still a little flushed. She gave Garlon a coquettish look and said firmly.

"like me?"

Garen was stunned for a moment.

Then, he seemed to understand something.

If Ashara really liked him, then Arthur Dayne and Barristan's hostility towards him suddenly made sense.

"..."

The more Garen thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"Brother-in-law, you underestimate your charm!"

Looking at Garlon who was a little slow to realize it, Ellery chuckled.

Garlon is of noble birth and is the heir of the Murlin Hall. He is handsome and extremely powerful. Among the young people of the same generation, there is no one better than Garlon.

It was normal for Ashara, the daughter of Starfall, to fall in love with Garen. Dornish girls were known for their passion and enthusiasm, so they would actively pursue the person they liked.

"Really?" Garen smiled softly, "Then who do you like, Ellery?"

"what?"

Hearing Garlon's sudden change of subject, Ellery was stunned for a moment.

She has a fiancé.

Mace Tyrell, Lord of Highgarden.

Why would Garen ask that?

Ellery subconsciously wanted to say, I have a fiancé.

But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she looked into Garlon's deep eyes which were teasing yet serious, and she blinked, the smile on her face slowly fading.

Yeah, who do I like?

My fiancé Mace?

The image of Mace Tyrell appeared in her mind, and Ellery immediately shook him off.

Looking at the handsome Garlon in front of her, who was as handsome as a ray of morning light, Elli's heart kept beating, and a sense of sadness that had been suppressed for a long time arose inexplicably.

I like you, brother-in-law.

For the first time, Ellery faced her own thoughts in her heart. She sighed softly and said to herself in her heart.

"I I don't know"

Although she wanted to blurt out her thoughts, Ellery finally held back.

She knew what kind of trouble would come if she said this.

It was her mission to marry into the Tyrell family.

This is already an established fact, and even my father cannot change it.

What's more, Garlon is her brother-in-law, and this concerns the marriage between the Tarth family and the Hightower family.

It also concerns her relationship with her sister Helena.

Such emotions can lead to a storm of disaster.

So, let her keep it in her heart silently.

"do not know?"

Garen couldn't help but laugh.

Of course he saw that Ellery was insincere.

Clearly, Ellery didn't like Mace.

"Ellery, do you believe me?"

Garen suddenly spoke in a profound tone.

Originally, he planned to let Ellery marry Mace Tyrell first.

After all, this is the established marriage contract between the Hightowers and the Tyrells.

If he attacked the Tyrells during the War of the Usurper, he could only redeem Ellery.

But this dance tonight made him feel a special feeling for Ellery, and this feeling gave rise to a kind of pity.

He felt that Ellery should not be caught in the middle.

Nor should Ellery be considered an NPC who gave birth to plot characters like Margaery.

Elli was a little confused. She didn't know why Garlon's words seemed strange, but she nodded subconsciously, "Yeah!"

Seeing Ellery nod, Garlon leaned over to her ear and said, "Believe me, then pretend to be sick when you return to Old Town this time."

"Malingering?"

Ellery suddenly opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at Garen in surprise.

"Yes." Garen nodded, "It's best to let Morua mix some medicine for you so that you look truly weak."

"Brother-in-law, do you want me to..." Ellery's heart suddenly started beating wildly and her throat became hoarse.

When she returns to Oldtown this time, she will marry Mace.

Garlon asked her to pretend to be sick, no doubt in order to get her to postpone or delay her wedding with Mays.

Could it be that Garen saw through her thoughts?

Ellery's body felt a little weak and her mind went blank.

"Yes, pretend to be sick for at least half a year. Don't marry Mays for the time being."

Garen said seriously.

"Why?"

Ellery asked, suppressing the trembling in her voice.

Garen gave her a deep look and said, "Just believe what I say and do it, and you'll know when the time comes."

Hearing Garlon's words, Ellery's eyelashes trembled and she struggled internally for a long time.

She opened her red lips slightly, and opened and closed her mouth again and again. Finally, under Garlon's gaze, with a face full of struggle, a blush, and a hint of tears, she said:

"Brother-in-law, I can't let Helena down."

???

Garlon, who originally thought that Ellery would ask why, suddenly widened his eyes when he heard Ellery's words.

what?
No, what does this have to do with Helena?
Garen was stunned for a moment.

Then, I suddenly realized something.

No, Ellery wouldn't like me, would she?

This thought came to his mind, and Garen's breathing suddenly became a little disordered.

Looking at Ellery's struggling, hesitant, shy and lost expression, Garlon opened his mouth.

He understood that Ellery had misunderstood.

Ellery mistakenly thought that he had feelings for her, so he asked her to cancel her engagement with Mace.

This……

Garlon looked at Ellery's fair and beautiful face, which had a dignified and somewhat girlish innocence, and didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

"Ellery, the Tyrell family will soon face a great disaster. I just want to prevent you from falling into dire straits."

There was no other way, Garlon could only give a vague summary in a few words.

"what?"

Ellery's body trembled, and she looked at Garen in surprise.

Then, she blushed visibly.

Not only the cheeks, but also the neck, collarbone, and white and tender arms were all red.

Ellery was so embarrassed that she wanted to run away.

She actually misunderstood Garlon's intentions and even misinterpreted his true thoughts.
OMG!

What did I just say!

Ellery no longer dared to look into Garlon's eyes, and because she was so ashamed, she buried her forehead in Garlon's chest and acted like a quail.

Looking at Ellery's red, bleeding earlobe, Garlon couldn't help but smile, feeling that Ellery was particularly cute at the moment.

"Alright, look up quickly, or Helena will see you and get really jealous."

Garen teased.

When Ellery heard this, the heat on her ears became even hotter. She adjusted herself for a long time, and finally raised her head, suppressing her shame.

"Brother-in-law, how do you know about this, Tyrell family?"

Ellery was a little confused as to why Garlon was so sure.

"Because... that disaster will be brought upon the Tyrell family by your father and I."

Garen continued calmly.

Hearing this, Ellery suddenly raised her head.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

Garlon lowered his eyes and looked at Helena. His eyes were calm, with a hint of seriousness and depth.

"So, go back and pretend to be sick, and don't tell anyone what I said to you."

"Mace Tyrell is not worthy of you."

As Garlon finished speaking, the dance music stopped at the perfect moment.

Garlon smiled at Ellery and, like the other noble men and women, bowed slightly to her.

Then, he took Ellery, who was still a little dazed, by the hand and walked to the long table of the Hightower family and sent Ellery back to her seat.

"Ellery, what are you thinking about? Did Garlon dance badly and step on your foot?"

Helena looked at Ellery, who still had a blush on her face and was dazed, and smiled faintly.

"Oh, no." Under Helena's gaze, Ellery temporarily forgot her shock and remembered the "nonsense" she and Garen had said. She didn't dare to look at her sister for a moment, "I'm just a little hot."

Ellery's earlobes turned red again, and she swallowed her saliva.

"You, you're about to get married, but you're still so willful."

Helena said with a smile.

Ellery poured herself a glass of water and pretended to concentrate on eating, but her mind was wandering elsewhere.

----

After chatting with Earl Leighton and Baelor for a few words, Garlon returned to the long table where the nobles of Stormlands were sitting and continued drinking with Robert and others.

However, since he drank a little too much, he quickly got up and went to the bathroom.

After relieving himself, Garen washed his face with cold water.

He looked up at the broken spire of Harrenhal and the bright full moon, wondering if Ellery would listen to him and go back to feign illness.

Compared to whether to change the plot or not, he is more concerned about the clarity of his own thoughts.

If he doesn't want Ellery to marry into the Tyrell family, then he should try his best to change it.

As a time traveler and a cheating player, if you don't have this courage and are timid, then what's the point.

Just as Garlon was wondering if he should start searching for dragon eggs sooner rather than later, to give himself more resources for his own actions, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the darkness beside him. Garlon turned around and saw a beautiful figure walking towards him in the moonlight.

"Ashaara?"

Looking at Ashara, who was wearing a purple long dress and green gem earrings, Garlon spoke.

"Galon..."

Ashara's expression was somewhat complicated.

Garen looked at Ashara with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Galon, do you hate me?"

Ashara came to one meter in front of Garlon and said with a bit of melancholy and sadness.

Garen shook his head, "No."

He had no ill feelings towards Ashara.

He just didn't want to cause any trouble because he already had a fiancée.

Ashara is the daughter of the late Earl of Starfall City and is destined to marry another noble.

With Ashara's status, it was impossible for her to become his mistress.

His entanglement with Ashara would only affect his relationship with Helena, so he could keep his distance from Ashara.

"Ashara, Ellery was a bit rude just now, and I apologize. However, I am engaged to Helena, so please forgive me for keeping my distance from you."

Garen spoke.

"This isn't directed at you. I didn't dance with any other girls except Helena and Ellery during this trip to Harrenhal."

Garen's explanation brought some light into Ashara's eyes.

"I see, thank you."

Yashaara said with a faint smile, although she was still a little lonely, but not as sad as before.

She lifted her skirt, bowed slightly to Garlon, and turned to leave.

But after taking two steps, she paused and turned to look at Garlon.

Garen also looked at her.

Ashara hesitated for a moment and then said, "Galon, if you and Helena were not engaged, would you accept my invitation to dance?"

Garen looked at Ashara, whose beautiful face and unique style were reflected in the moonlight, and nodded: "Yes."

Ashara is very charming, no less than Ellery and Helena.

Otherwise, the Harrenhal Tournament would not have attracted so many nobles' attention.

Even Barristan, an old man of iron, couldn't help but fall in love with Ashara, so you can imagine how charming Ashara is.

If Garen wasn't engaged to Helena, he wouldn't mind getting in touch with Ashara.

Hearing Garen's affirmative answer, Ashara smiled for the first time.

Unable to suppress her pounding heartbeat, she lightly approached Garlon, stood on tiptoe, and gave Garlon a light kiss on the cheek.

While Garen was slightly stunned, Ashara had already run back to the hall.

amount……

Now Garlon was completely certain that Arthur Dayne and Barristan's hostility towards him was caused by Ashara.

"So... Ashara's fate has also changed because of me?"

Garen rubbed his cheek with the back of his hand to wipe away the wetness, thinking with a subtle expression.

In the original novel, Ashara may have had an emotional entanglement with Ed, and eventually became pregnant before marriage and jumped off the tower to her death.

From the few contacts, it was clear that Ashara was a girl who lacked love and a sense of security because her parents died young.

Being beautiful, passionate, but lacking love can easily lead to twists and turns in one's fate.

It's still quite pitiful.

Now because of his appearance, Ashara should no longer have any emotional entanglements with Brandon or Ed.

Maybe fate will develop in a good direction.

After Garen returned to the hall, the dinner continued until around midnight before gradually dispersing.

The end of the dinner also marked the official end of the Harrenhal Tournament.

The participating nobles and knights will spread the progress of this event to all parts of Westeros.

The next day, Garlon and his party got up early, packed their things, and then reunited with the Hightower family.

Oldtown is at the southwestern tip of Westeros. It would take at least half a month to travel from Harrenhal to Oldtown by land with so many people.

It will be bumpy and accommodation will be difficult.

Traveling by land and sea is relatively quick and comfortable.

So Lord Leighton agreed to set off with Garlon, and the Hightower family would stay in Duskfall Hall for two days, and then return to Oldtown from the Isle of Tarth.

It’s a good opportunity to hold an engagement ceremony for Helena and Garlon on Tas Island.

When they returned, Maidenpool was crowded with people. After all, most of the nobles from Dorne, Stormlands, and Riverlands took the boat back from the dock of Maidenpool.

Garlon originally didn't want to stay in Maidenpool for a night, but he couldn't resist the invitation of Earl William Mutton, so he had to stay in Maidenpool for another night with the Hightower family.

Earl William Mutton became even more enthusiastic about Garlon.

Because Garlon defeated Arthur Dayne and Barristan in the tournament, and he was also the son-in-law of Earl Leyton.

Garlon felt that Earl William Mutton, a good-natured man, was actually quite good.

It's better than those old bastards like Roose Bolton and Walder Frey.

If the Muton family is in trouble in the future, he can lend a hand.

The next day, Garlon returned the carriage to Earl Murton, and then took a boat to Tas Island at the Maiden Spring Pier.

Earl Leighton had originally hired a ship, but now with Garlon's Evening Star, there was no need to use the hired ship anymore, and the group returned together on the Evening Star.

“What a beautiful starry sky!”

In the evening, when night fell, Garlon, Helena, Ellery, Linness and others lay on the deck together, watching the stars in the sky.

The sky of Westeros is unpolluted, and being on the sea, you can see the starry sky at a glance.

That kind of shocking feeling is hard to feel on Earth.

Garlon chatted and laughed with them until late at night before returning to his room to rest.

However, what surprised Garlon was that when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Dong dong."

The knock on the door was very soft, as if the person was a little guilty.

Carina next door also heard it.

Carina took a look through the crack in the door, opened her mouth, and then retracted her head.

Garlon stood up, opened the door, and couldn't help but smile when he saw the figure outside.

"Ellery?"

"Brother-in-law."

Ellery was wearing pajamas. She looked around and was worried about being seen. She went straight into the room through Garlon's arms and chest.

"Ellery, why are you here when you're not sleeping?"

Garen said unhappily.

If Helena saw this, he would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"I don't have a chance to talk to you alone during the day."

Ellery blushed and looked at Garlon's cabin curiously.

"What do you want to say to me?"

Garen smiled and said.

Ellery looked up and was about to say something when suddenly the boat shook more violently.

Ellery had little experience in sea sailing and immediately stumbled.

Garen put his arm around her waist to prevent her from falling.

Ellery subconsciously put her arms around Garlon's waist.

When Ellery stood firm, the atmosphere suddenly became more subtle.

"sit down."

Garen said to Ellery.

"Oh!"

Ellery sat down obediently.

There was no furniture in the cabin, only a bed, so Ellery sat on the edge of the bed.

Garen sat down next to her.

"Brother-in-law, if I go back and pretend to be sick, can I not marry Mays?"

After sitting down, Ellery asked in order to calm her heartbeat.

Garen nodded: "Okay."

In the War of the Usurper, the Tyrells would inevitably side with the Targaryens.

As long as Ellery doesn't marry Mace for the time being, the Tyrell family will be in deep trouble and will have no time to get married.

And with him around, Mace will have to marry Ellery, right?

"So what will become of the Tyrells?"

Ellery asked again.

Garen smiled and glanced at Ellery. "Secret."

Ellery couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard that. She knew that Garen would definitely not tell her.

Elli paused, lowered her head a little embarrassedly, "Brother-in-law, can you please forget what I said while we were dancing yesterday..."

Garen immediately suppressed his laughter.

"what did you say?"

Ellery suddenly looked at Garlon angrily.

She knew that Garen was teasing her.

"Anyway, you are not allowed to tell Helena."

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you."

Seeing Ellery Hongwen's expression, as if she was about to pounce on him and bite him in the next second, Garlon immediately agreed with a smile.

Seeing that Garlon agreed, Ellery finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The room fell into silence, with only the sound of the sea splashing and shaking.

Ellery felt somewhat relieved, yet also somewhat confused.

Originally her life was planned. She was to marry Mace, become the mistress of Highgarden, give birth to children for Mace, and inherit Highgarden.

Now, she chose to believe in Garlon, and she didn't know where the future would lead.

This feeling made her look forward to it, but also made her nervous.

"Brother-in-law..."

"Ok?"

"Do you think my father will let me marry someone else?"

Ellery said softly.

"..."

Garen understood why Ellery came to him late at night.

This might be the reason why Ellery couldn't sleep.

Garlon knew that Ellery needed a stable support.

Ellery had already revealed her feelings while dancing last night.

Then he naturally has to respond.

He is not a person who is indecisive and drags his feet.

So he looked into Ellery's beautiful eyes: "Ellery."

Ellery looked at Garen.

In the dim room, Garlon moved his body closer to Ellery and grabbed Ellery's hand.

Ellery's heartbeat immediately started beating rapidly again. She struggled a bit, but found that Garlon was holding her tightly. Under the attack of Garlon's gaze, she finally gave up with a red face and let Garlon hold her.

"Um"

Ellery lowered her head, not daring to look at Garen.

"How about you convince Helena and I convince Count Layton?"

Garlon's voice was soft, but it exploded in Ellery's heart like lightning.

She raised her eyes to look at Garen, her mouth slightly opened.

She never expected that Garen would reply to her like this.

So... my brother-in-law wants...

Ellery's heart was pounding.
