Chapter 104: Baron Eagle's Nest
??Chapter 104 The Baron of Yingzuiyu
?? Three days later, on a sunny afternoon, Samwell met the team from Highgarden at Eagle Mouth Island.
??Walking in the front row on horseback was a young man in shining armor. His appearance was somewhat similar to "Knight of Flowers" Loras Tyrell, but he was fatter and more masculine.
?? There is a golden rose pattern printed on the chest of the armor, but there are two, representing that he is the second son of the Tyrell family—Garlan Tyrell.
?? "Welcome to Yingzui Island, Sir Garland." Samwell stepped forward and bowed.
?? "Sir Caesar!" Garland got off his horse and gave Samwell a warm hug. "I heard about your great victory. It's really exciting!"
?? "Thanks to the blessing of the Seven Gods." Samwell said modestly.
?? While speaking, he saw a familiar figure getting out of the carriage in the middle of the team—Margaery Tyrell.
The duke's daughter is wearing a green dress today, with a rose made of gold thread on her chest, her soft brown hair is coiled into a lady's bun, covered with a black silk hairnet embellished with diamonds, and her ears are hanging Wearing a pair of drop-shaped gemstone earrings, it just matched the sapphire embedded in the ribbon collar around her throat.
?? "Sam!" Margaery called out to her knight affectionately.
?? "Miss Margery!" Samwell quickly stepped forward to salute, but just as he bent down, he found a white and slender hand stretched out in front of him.
??So, he pressed a kiss between Margaery's fingers very gentlemanly.
?? "Quick! Tell us about your glorious battle!" Margaret waved her fists excitedly, as if she wanted to be there in person.
??Samwell smiled slightly, and while leading the two inside, he began to tell the whole story of the previous battle.
??Margaery is a good listener, and she can always respond at the most appropriate time, amazed, worried, nervous, excited... nothing can trouble her.
?? Moreover, the look of admiration in the girl's eyes can make any man want to stop.
"It was a wonderful battle!" After listening to Samwell's story, Margaery concluded, "It should be the biggest victory for the Riverbend Army since the War of the Reavers! Garland, right? "
?? "Yes." Garland nodded, obviously agreeing with his sister's evaluation.
?? "Thanks to my father's commanding skills and Sir Allerken's strong support." Samwell said modestly.
?? "You're not bad either." Margaret smiled. "I heard that you led seven hundred cavalry to smash the Dornish army formation. I really want to see your heroic appearance at that time!"
?? "There will be a chance." Samwell leaned slightly, "As your knight, I can charge for you at any time."
??Hearing this, the smile on Margaery's face became even sweeter.
??Samwell led the two of them to visit their territory again. Since the castle hadn't been built yet, it looked a bit shabby and there wasn't much to see.
However, Margaret was always in high spirits, she didn't dislike the shabby territory of Samwell at all, and warmly waved and greeted the residents there. food, and to talk to them personally about condolences.
??Noble identity, beautiful face, kind gesture... This daughter of the duke completely conquered the citizens of Yingzui Island in just one afternoon.
??Even the savages who don't have much sense of belonging to the Reach are willing to cheer for her, pray for her, and maybe even fight for her.
?? It’s no wonder that in the original book, the young girl had just arrived in King’s Landing, and she let the most prosperous city in Westeros be overwhelmed by her charm.
??Samwell watched all this from the side, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, some people are indeed born to be loved by the public.
?? As for whether Margaery's attitude is from the heart, or deliberately to win people's hearts, it is actually not important.
??Her dedication is real, and the people's love for her is also real.
??In this stratified world, how many nobles can really bend down like her and talk to the people at the bottom?
Even if Samwell asks himself, he can't do it. Although he comes from a more equal world, he has always worked hard to provide good living conditions for his subjects, but if he is really asked to sit in a group, he can't speak well, and his body is full of sweat. Among the stinking low-level people, talk to them cordially... He really doesn't have the patience.
?? When night fell, Samwell held a grand bonfire dinner for the two distinguished guests.
??In the banquet, Margaery undoubtedly became the protagonist. She even made almost all the citizens of Yingzui Island sing "Song of the Seven Gods" together.
?? You must know that since Samwell did not force the people to convert, there are many people who believe in other gods.
??However, under the influence of the Duke's daughter's charm, it seems that even the barrier of belief is no longer a problem.
??"Sam." Margery drank a lot of brandy, her little face was flushed, and she was extremely charming under the light of the fire, "It's so hot, accompany me to the beach."
"It's my pleasure."
?? The two stayed away from the crowd and came to a secluded beach.
??The slightly cool sea water surges up from time to time, driving away the dryness of the bonfire banquet.
?? "Thank you, Sam."
?? "You're welcome, Miss Margery. I'm still worried that I won't entertain you well."
?? "I'm not talking about that." Margaery shook her head, "I'm talking about those refugees from the bay."
??Samwell suddenly said: "You don't have to be polite about this, I promised you that I will let them live a good life."
?? "You are an upright knight, and even more so, a wise lord." Margaret said seriously, "It's the greatest luck for those refugees from the river bay and those savages to be your subject."
?? "Thank you for your compliment. However, I think they might prefer you to be their lord."
?? Margaery giggled when she heard the words: "I can't protect them from the enemy. It depends on you, brave knight. Oh, I almost forgot. It's time to change the name."
?? As she spoke, Margaery took out a piece of parchment with a golden rose seal wax from her bosom, and said to Samwell with a smile:
?? "Kneel down, my knight."
??Samwell immediately realized what was about to happen. Although he had expected this day, his heart couldn't help beating at this moment.
??Of course he wouldn't say stupid things like his castle wasn't built yet, and immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Margaery.
"I, Margaery Tyrell, daughter of Mace Tyrell, in the name of Governor of the Reach, Warden of the South, and Duke of Highgarden, canonize Samwell Caesar as Baron of Eagle's Isle, from this day forward, The Caesars are the hereditary baronial families of the Reach."
??Margaery handed the letter of appointment to Samwell, and said with a smile:
"Get up, Baron Yingzuiyu. In addition, your baron's ring, seal, dress suit and other things are all in the suitcase, remember to get them. There are also family crests and clan languages. If you think about it, you can buy it at any time." tell me…"
??Samwell didn't care about the dress coat of arms at all at this time, but stared at his attribute panel closely. At this moment, it really changed a lot:
