Chapter 42

Samwell stayed in sunflower City for three days, after watching the transport ship full of food and living supplies sail to bleak Island with his own eyes. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and bid farewell to Viscount Brandon.

  So, under the warm farewell of Viscount Brandon , and under Miss Alice's resentful eyes, Samwell and his party set sail on the seaboat to Arbor Island.

  The whole journey was calm and peaceful , and only six days later, the ship successfully crossed the Redwyne Strait and arrived at Arbor Island.

  This island is famous for its wine, especially the golden wine of arbor Island, which is the most sought after wine by the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, and the price is also extremely expensive, which can be called "liquid gold".

  However, what really made the Redwyne family one of the most influential nobles in the reach was obviously not the wine, but the Arbor Island fleet.

  Together with the royal fleet and the Iron Fleet, this fleet is known as the three major fleets of Westeros, and it is an important maritime force that can influence the situation of the Seven Kingdoms.

  Under the afternoon sun, Samwell walked down the trestle slowly.

  The wharf was very lively, and laborers carrying goods could be seen everywhere. They yelled loudly and loaded the big bags of goods onto the merchant ships.

  Looking at the familiar scene in front of them, Samwell's guards all showed nostalgic expressions.

  Just half a year ago, they were still the same as these people, carrying heavy cargo every day, and could barely fill their stomachs, but now, their fate has completely changed.

  Thinking of this, the guards all looked at the lord in front of him very respectfully .

  The arrival of Samwell and his party did not cause any disturbance. Although Todd Flower had written l in advance expressing Samwell's visit, it was obvious that with Samwell's current reputation, it was impossible to get the Redwyne family's big fanfare welcome.

  In fact, none of their family members came, only a servant was sent to meet them.

  That's going too far.

  Even after Samwell entered the castle and drank tea in the drawing room for a long time, he still failed to see Earl Paxter.

  At this time, even Todd Flower face became extremely gloomy, but Samwell still had that relaxed look.

  In fact, he already had some expectations for the cold reception from the Redwyne family. After all, according to Lady Olenna's plan, although the new territory of bleak Island belonged to Samwell in name, the actual controller would be Redwyne family.

  Now that Samwell refused to be manipulated, Earl Paxter will naturally not give him a good face.

  However, he was not in a hurry.

  After reaching a material supply agreement with Viscount Brandon of sunflower City, the food crisis in his territory has been temporarily lifted, so he no longer needs the support of the Redwyne family so urgently.

  As for brandy, he didn't have to ask the Redwyne family to help sell it.

  Although the Redwyne family is indeed the best partner, with their mature sales channels that can deliver brandy to the wine tables of Westeros' nobles at the fastest speed, and the possible assistance of Arbor Island Winery can make the brandy famous if sold under their name, but it is not impossible to change partners if they do not know the good from the bad.

  After calming todd , Samwell didn't care anymore, just to see what Earl Paxter could do.

  They waited until the sun went down, and Samwell and his party were so hungry that their bellies started to growl, and finally someone walked into the living room.

  "Oh, why is it so dark? Somebody, bring some candles!"

  "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Sam, for making you wait so long."

  In came Earl Paxter's twin sons, Horas Redwyne and Hobber Redwyne.

  The two looked almost identical, with square faces, orange hair, and freckles all over their faces.

  However, the two brothers were still very easy to distinguish.

  Horas, the older brother, was taller and had more aggressive eyes, looking as if everyone was about to fight, while Hobber, the younger brother, was slurring his words so much that it felt his his mouth was full of saliva.

  "It's okay, the journey was tiring, and we just rested for half a day." Samwell said with a smile.

  Horas stared at Samwell for a while, and said,

  "Sam, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have changed a lot."

  Hobber also nodded in agreement: "Yes, you have lost a lot of weight, have you not had enough to eat recently? ?"

  Horas immediately interjected, "It's really hard to get enough to eat in places like the red Mountains, hahaha…"

The two brothers burst out laughing as they spoke.

  Samwell smiled and looked at the two quietly, as if looking at two fools.

  The memories belonging to the original owner surged out, making him realize that he had a known these two brothers.

  Before Randyll completely gave up on his eldest son, he brought Samwell to the Arbor Island, hoping to make a marriage contract between him and Earl Paxter's daughter, Desmera Redwyne.

  But it was a pity that Samwell was not up to par at the time, not only he failed to win the favor of Earl Paxter, but he also cried bitterly under the teasing and mocking of the two brothers Horas and Hobber, and lost all face.   

"It's really easy to get hungry." Samwell didn't care about the ridicule of the two brothers. "That's why I came to Arbor Island, hoping to buy some food and supplies for Bleak Island from your family ."

sunflower city already signed a supply contract, but Samwell didn't mind having one more supplier.

  Otherwise, let the Brandon family control the food lifeline of bleak Island, what if the Viscount Brandon turns his face one day? Or bring up the old story again, what if he insists on marrying Miss Alice?

  "Well..." Horas smiled reservedly and said, "Let's wait until my father comes back."

  "Is the Lord not on the island?"

  "Yes, yes, my father went to inspect the territory."

  "Then when will he come back?"

  "It's hard to say, maybe tomorrow, or next week... After all, Arbor Island is so big, I don't know where my father is now gone."

  Hearing this, Samwell kept smiling on the surface, but he had already scolded his seven generation in his heart.

  "If that's the case, then i won't bother any more. We still have something to do, so we'll leave tomorrow."

  "Are you leaving tomorrow?" Hearing that Samwell said he was leaving, Horas was stunned.

  "Yes." Samwell smiled slightly, "I still have to go to Old Town." "

  "Then you will come to Arbor Island again on your return trip?" Hobber couldn't help asking.

  "We'll see the situation at that time." Samwell said instead, "Maybe we will dock again, and I hope to see the Earl at that time."

  Horas twitched the corners of his mouth, his face uncertain.

  After a long while, he forced a smile and said,

  "In that case, I'll send someone to arrange a room for you to rest early."

  "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

  Samwell got up and walked out without any delay.

  Horas and his brother looked at each other, unable to hide their surprise.

  But soon, the two brothers exchanged glances tacitly, then quickened their pace, squeezing Samwell out from left to right.

  The door of the living room is not wide enough for the three of them to walk side by side, but the Horas brothers didn't evade at all, instead they took the opportunity to squeeze in the middle—

  boom!

  There was a muffled sound, but Samwell stepped out of the door calmly, while the two brothers staggered and almost fell over.

  "Ah! I'm really sorry, are you all right?" Samwell looked back .

  Enduring the burning pain in his shoulder and the uncontrollable shock in his heart, Horas said,

  "It's okay, we tripped over accidentally."

  "Ohhh… okay." Samwell suddenly said, "I thought you two didn't have enough to eat so you fell ?"

  After speaking, he walked away without paying any attention to the flushed faces of the two brothers.
