When the white dragon landed in the atrium of the Cider Hall, Lord Randyll Tarly went up to meet it.

"Father."

Lord Randyll looked at his son who jumped down from the dragon's back, and his gaze stayed on the Valyrian steel-ringed crown on his head for a long time before finally nodding his head.

Samwell delivered Loras Tyrell to Ser Hale Hunt, and then stepped forward to his father:

"Is your brother here yet?"

"It's here, but I let him go to Bright Water City."

Samwell immediately understood his father's plan, which was to let his younger brother take over the Florens family's territory.

The Florent family is the in-laws of the Tully family. At the beginning, his uncle, Sir Alekon Florent, gave Samwell a lot of support and was also the backbone of the Horse Party.

Unfortunately, since Samwell's aunt Selyse Florent married Stannis Baratheon, the Florent family gradually shifted their focus to that side.

This is also understandable. After all, Stannis is the first legal heir to the Iron Throne and married Selyse. It is only natural for the Florens family to place a heavy bet there.

However, when Stannis attacked the city of King's Landing, Tyrion the "little devil" burned almost the entire fleet, completely declaring the game out.

The Florens family's army also went into the sea to feed the fish, and the investment was naturally in vain.

Family members also suffered heavy casualties, even Earl Alister died in that battle.

In this case, Earl Landau would definitely come up with the idea of ​​Bright Water City.

Whether it is Lady Melissa, the daughter of Earl Alister, or Dickon, who is engaged to the granddaughter of the Earl, all have the qualifications to inherit Brightwater City.

Samwell is also happy to see the success.

Earl Landau didn't say much about this, but instead asked, "Has the army in the Stormlands been redeemed?"

"Redeemed."

"How do you deal with Doran Martell?" Earl Randall expressed his concern.

"Let the Dornish nobles stab him with a sword, and then send him back to Sunspear. Don't worry, he won't live long."

"Well, it's not bad to deal with it this way. Civil strife should break out in Dorne." Earl Randall nodded with satisfaction, and then reminded, "But even if civil strife breaks out in Dorne, don't rush to get involved in it for the time being. It's an extremely Where xenophobic places encounter foreign enemies, they may temporarily put aside their hatred and unite."

"I understand. After dealing with the river bend this time, my focus will be on managing the storm ground for a period of time in the future."

"It's good to understand. Only the power that can be controlled by yourself is your power, and the others can't be counted. Even the Hewan Horse Party is like this. Although families like Hightower, Rowan, and Peak are still willing to Support you, but once you can't continue to bring them benefits, they may not be willing to continue to follow you.

If you want them to truly surrender, you must have absolute strength so that they dare not betray. "

"I see."

Since the nobles of the horse party gathered in the fruit wine hall, the castle was already overcrowded.

Even the largest banquet hall in the castle cannot accommodate all horse party knights at once.

So Samwell had to feast them separately.

Although he sat at the head of the throne every time and wore the Valyrian steel ring crown, no one in the horse party nobles called him "Your Majesty".

This is no accident, he has the support of the Ma Party, but has not yet been able to obtain their allegiance.

"Sam!" Earl Matus yelled holding his glass, "The Tyrell family betrayed you like that, why are you still marrying their daughter? Why don't you be afraid of her secretly stabbing you when you sleep at night! If you want me to say, you might as well kill him." Her! If you can't do it, I can arrange someone to help you!"

"Master Matus, you are drunk." With an impeccable smile on Samwell's face, he didn't seem to care about Earl Matus Rowan's words.

"You're so drunk!" Earl Rowan yelled when he came to Samwell, putting his hand on his shoulder with an extremely affectionate look, "When Margaery makes room, you can marry My daughter Jenny, she is eighteen years old, she is not bad, the key is her big butt, she is very fertile!"

"Master Rowan, how did I hear that your daughter has been defiled by a bard?" Earl Titus Peake laughed.

"Fart!" Earl Rowan stared at him immediately, "Where did you hear this rumor! Absolutely nothing! My daughter has never even touched a man's hand!"

"Then Cersei is the most virtuous woman, and Kingslayer is the most loyal knight." Earl Peake laughed and said, "Don't deny it. I also know that kid went to the Great Wall of Immortality as a night watchman, tsk tsk, Matus, if I were you, I would have killed him long ago."

"Lies! Lies!" Count Matus Rowan threw the wine glass over.

It's a pity that it missed Earl Peake, but instead made a knight of the Green family next to him covered in alcohol.

Immediately aroused even greater laughter and noise.

Earl Peake looked at Samwell with a smile, and said:

"Lord Caesar, if you want to change a queen, you might as well consider my daughter Margaux. She is just fourteen years old and has already had menarche, but she has never been touched by a man. She is more suitable for you than the second-hand Jenny of the Rowan family!"

Hearing Earl Peak humiliating his daughter, Matus Rowan roared and rushed over.

The two fought, crackling, overturning a table of food and drink.

"Okay." Samwell finally said, "Pull the two of them apart!"

After the knights stepped forward to separate the two earls, Samwell got up and said:

"Margaery and I made an oath under the witness of the Seven Gods. From then on, we are one body and one soul. So, if you humiliate her, you are humiliating me!"

Samwell's tone was flat at first, but in the end, he was already stern.

With a little force from the right hand, the wine glass made of refined iron was completely deformed.

He put the wine glass still in front of Earl Rowan and Earl Peake, and said coldly:

"If someone humiliates Margaery again, next time I will give it back, not a wine glass, but white gloves!"

There was an instant silence in the banquet hall.

Everyone in the horse party clearly felt the power of this young storm king, and they were silent for a while.

But in the next second, Samwell put away his serious face and smiled:

"Of course, I believe that the two Lord Earls made a slip of the tongue after drinking, and they didn't intend to humiliate my queen."

"That's right! I drank too much, I drank too much!" Earl Matus Rowan staggered immediately.

"I drank too much, too much..." Earl Peake also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.

Samwell changed another wine glass, held it up high, and said loudly:

"Everyone, let us raise our glasses to Queen Margaery!"

"To Queen Margaery!" Earl Matus Rowan was the first to agree, and then everyone also spoke.

After drinking the glass, the nobles were about to sit down when they saw Earl Randall raised his glass again and said:

"To Caesar the Storm King!"

Samwell turned his head and exchanged a tacit look with his father.

The nobles of the Horse Party hesitated for a while, and finally raised their wine glasses one after another, and said in agreement:

"To Caesar the Storm King!"

Amidst the sound of hundreds of cups colliding together, the ancient name of the Storm King was finally uttered for the first time from the nobles of the River Bend.

It's not an oath of allegiance, but it's a good place to start.
