??Chapter 305 Cold-blooded
??After being separated from Earl Peake, Samwell walked back alone.
??At this moment, the banquet is also over, and the guests dispersed.
??Samwell returned to the residence, and saw Earl Randall waiting at the door.
??The father and son exchanged a look, but did not speak.
?? After entering the room and closing the door, Earl Landau asked:
?? "You're not going to support Peake in place of Tyrell, are you?"
"Of course not." Samwell smiled sarcastically, "I just wanted to test the attitude of the horse party nobles towards the Tyrell family, but I didn't expect such an idiot to jump out on their own initiative. Titus Peake, Hehe, is he so eager to wait?"
?? "The Peak family has always been dishonest," Earl Randall commented sharply. "There is restless blood flowing in their bodies, and this is the reason why they have reached the top repeatedly, but fell quickly."
??This is true.
??Back when Hewan was still under the rule of the Gardener King, the Peake family tried to get their hands on the throne, which triggered civil strife in Hewan for ten years.
??After the war of conquest, the Seven Kingdoms were unified. The Peak family had a king who murdered the queen in order to let King Aegon III marry his daughter.
?? Later, when the Blackfyre Rebellion broke out, the Peak family once again couldn't hold back their restless blood and led the army to support Daemon Blackfyre.
?? When the Blackfyre Rebellion was suppressed, the Peake family also paid the price for their foolishness, and the family's influence was greatly reduced.
??The coat of arms of the Peake family are three black castles on an orange background, symbolizing the three castles owned by the family at their peak: Star Shuttle City, Dustonbury and White Garden City.
??But under the manipulation of the Peak family, only Star Shuttle City is left in the current territory.
?? But even so, this family will never learn to be low-key and steady.
?? Now that the Seven Kingdoms are in turmoil, the House of Highgarden Tyrell has also fallen into unprecedented decline, and the Peak family is about to start to move again.
?? "Since Peake is so impatient, I'm going to let them be knives, so as not to get my hands dirty." Samwell expressed his true thoughts.
?? "Yes." Earl Randall nodded in agreement with his son's plan, and then asked, "However, what do you plan to do with the Tyrell family?"
?? "Mrs. Olenna must die!" Samwell said coldly.
"What about the rest?"
"I don't plan to touch the inflatable fish." Samwell explained, "I don't have the strength to take over Hewan right now, so it's better to keep him as a puppet. Otherwise, when Tyrell falls, all monsters and monsters will jump out, and Hewan will only There's going to be more chaos."
"The inflatable fish can indeed be kept. It may not be a good thing for you to let the horse party take power. You don't have enough strength and prestige to make them surrender completely. However, besides Mrs. Olenna, there is one more person you must kill. "
"Are you talking about Paxter Redwyne?" Samwell frowned, "Of course I want to kill him, but Qingting Island is isolated overseas, and we don't have a powerful fleet in our hands, so we can't do anything to him for the time being. "
?? "Paxter really can't do anything about him, but he can't affect the overall situation, so you can ignore him for the time being. I'm talking about Loras Tyrell."
?? "Loras?"
"Yes. Loras doesn't seem to be as threatening as Lady Olenna, but he has to be killed. Because he is the last heir of the Duke of Mace, with him, the inheritance of the Tyrell family is still alive. High Court."
?? "Didn't Loras like men?"
??Earl Randall shook his head and sneered: "So what. Like a man doesn't mean he can't continue his blood.
?? Believe it or not, once you put Loras back, the Tyrells will arrange a marriage for him, and it won't be long before his wife has a big belly.
?? As for whether the child belongs to Loras, it doesn't matter at all, because in name, it is the direct blood of the Tyrell family.
??As long as there is inheritance, there is hope. And you'll never really control the Reach.
?? Conversely, if Loras dies, the legitimacy of Highgarden lies in Storm's End, in your wife. This is very important.
??The nobles of the River Bend will completely lose their minds because of this, they will not help a prince who has no future.
??The inflatable fish has really become a decoration. Once he dies, you and Margaery's heirs will become the masters of Highgarden. "
??Samwell touched his nose and realized that he was really stuck in a deadlock.
?? For the sake of family inheritance, Loras may really agree to let someone else exercise the power of a husband instead of him.
?? Still cannot overestimate the bottom line of these nobles.
??Earl Randall misunderstood his son's silence and thought he was unwilling to let go, so he spoke again:
?? "Sam, do you know what your greatest weakness is?"
"What?"
?? "Not cold-blooded enough." Earl Randall said sharply, "In fact, you do not lack brains and means. You have performed very well in the development of Eagle Mouth Island, the chaos in King's Landing, and the war against Dorne.
?? But at the time, you hadn’t officially joined Game of Thrones. Did not meet any decent opponents.
?? But it will be different after you have a dragon, you can no longer hide yourself.
??Before the deer party rebellion, your weakness was exposed. Put yourself at risk for a woman.
?? But what about the result? You're desperately trying to save House Tyrell from the rebels, but Lady Olenna is plotting to kill you.
??You treat her as a relative, but she doesn't treat you as a relative.
?? Now that you are king, you shouldn't have such stupid thoughts anymore.
??The king has no relatives, only subjects and enemies.
?? Surrender or perish.
?? Failure to understand this will cost you dearly in the future. "
?? "Thank you for your reminder." Samwell nodded, "I've already died once, and of course I won't be as naive as before. When it's time to strike hard, I won't hesitate again.
??Since Loras is a threat, I will find a way to deal with him.
?? I didn’t speak just now, I was just thinking of a way to not get my hands dirty. "
??Earl Randall nodded in satisfaction:
?? "As long as you understand."
??Samwell looked at his father, suddenly smiled and said:
?? "But father, I'm afraid you don't know, if I'm really cold-blooded enough, maybe the one standing in front of you now is not the real me."
?? Earl Randall obviously did not understand this.
??Samwell didn't explain much, and continued to speak in a leisurely tone:
?? "It's as foolish not to trust everyone as it is to trust everyone.
?? In addition to subjects and enemies, a king can also have fathers, brothers, wives and children.
??The end of being absolutely cold-blooded will only be betrayal.
Even you yourself, in fact, you are not as cold-blooded as you said. Although you drove me out of the house at the beginning, when Yingzui Island was in crisis, didn't you still use all your troops in Horn Hill to help me fight Dorne? . "
??Earl Randall stared at his son for a while, and his tone suddenly softened:
?? "I'm actually worried that you will fall into the same trap again. Margaery Tyrell is not only a key bargaining chip, but also a hidden crisis. You must beware."
?? "I know." Samwell nodded, "I promised to give Margaery a queen, but I didn't say that the queen will only be her."
?? "Are you planning to marry another one like Aegon the Conqueror?" Earl Randall rubbed his chin, "This is actually a good idea. Use another woman to balance Margaery and the Tyrell family.
??However, before you have absolute strength, don't rush to marry the second one, as this will affect how most Westeros nobles perceive you. "
?? "Don't worry, I won't act too hastily."
??
