Chapter 54

NOTE-I'll using eagle island instead of bleak island … it sounds cool and this is future easter egg . ✌️

  I really don't want to.

  Samwell answered in his heart.

  Although Dasmera is indeed pretty, and her status is noble enough, if I can marry her now, I status would definitely climb.

  But Samwell did not believe that Earl Paxter would be so kind.

  Any kindness comes with a hidden price tag, so you have to think calmly before accepting it, whether it will empty your wallet, or even make you spend your whole life to repay it.

  Of course, on the surface, Samwell still showed a flattered look: "No one can refuse the charm of Lady Dasmera , but... I am worried that I am not worthy of your daughter."

"Right now you really don't.How can my daughter marry into a barren place like Eagle Island.But what if I can help you restore the original surname? The castle of the Tarly family is still worthy of my daughter."

This time Samwell finally understood Earl Paxter's plan.

  I have to say, it was really a good idea.

  "But Lord Earl, I have changed my surname to Caesar, and the right to inherit Horn Hill has nothing to do with me."

"Why not ? As long as you still have the blood of the Tarly family in your bones, you will always have the claim to Horn Hill. You don't have to worry about Randyll Tarly's attitude, as long as you marry my daughter, I can help you solve all the other problems."

  Even though he knew it was a trap, Samwell's heart was still pounding.

  It is indeed too tempting.

  It seems that as long as he nods, beauties, wealth, territory... will be at his fingertips.

  But Samwell knew it was a poisonous apple.

  Once he agrees, the method of brewing brandy, the silver mine to be mined, and Eagle Island, which is a barren but extremely critical territory, may all be in the hands of the Redwyne family.

  Even he himself will become a bargaining chip in the Redwyne family's plan to inherit the right of Horn Hill.

  However, regarding the last point, Samwell really didn't think the Redwyne family had any chance.

  Don't look at Earl Paxter's beautiful words, ' As long as you marry my daughter, I can help you solve all problems.'

  Dogshit.

  If Samwell wanted to restore Tarly's surname, he had to ask Earl Randyll if he would agree.

  It seemed that with the support of the Redwyne family, it would be easier for Samwell to change his father's mind and accept him as the heir to the territory again, but in fact, it was the opposite.

  Randyll Tarly is not such an easy character to fool.

  In the original book, the marriage he betrothed to his second son, Dickon, was the eldest daughter of the Mooton family in Maiden pool City.

  At that time, the Mooton family was at the bottom of their strength because they were on the wrong team in the Battle of the Five Kings.

  Randall asked his son to marry Earl William Mooton's daughter, with the obvious intention of taking the opportunity to gain control of Maidenpool.

  Such a powerful lord only wants to annex others, how could he allow others to extend his hand to his territory.

  Therefore, if Samwell marries Dasmera , it is even more impossible for Randall to agree to him becoming his heir.

  Otherwise, it would be difficult to say whether the control of Horn Hill would be in the hands of the Tarly family or the more powerful Redwyne family in the future.

  "Sorry, Lord Earl, I swore in front of my father that I would never return to Horn Hill in my life." Samwell simply used the oath to prevaricate.

  Earl Paxter's expression didn't change when he heard that, as if he didn't care about it at all.

  "It doesn't matter." The lord of Arbor Island said lightly, "You and Dasmera's children can still go back to Horn Hill."

The corner of Samwell's mouth twitched.

  Of course he knew that the words Earl Paxter uttered seemed calm, but they were actually full of blood.

  Under what circumstances can his and Dasmera's children have the right to inherit Hornhill?

  Of course, the younger brother Dickon's line is all dead!

  He couldn't help but sigh, do these great nobles in Westeros have all black hearts?

  "Lord Earl, can I think about it?" Samwell looked at Daven, who was chatting happily with Lady Dasmera in the courtyard, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

  Walking among these black-bellied and ruthless nobles, Samwell felt that he should not be too "little white sheep". Some small tricks that did not touch the bottom line should be used, otherwise he would be eaten by these people sooner or later .

  "Yes, but I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible." Earl Paxter drank his glass, "Otherwise, I'm afraid I will agree to the Lannister family."

I believe you ghost!

  Samwell looked at Daven, who was used by Earl Paxter as his competitor outside the window, deliberately putting on a anxious expression, and he said, "Okay, I will definitely answer l you as soon as possible."

Afterwards,

  Lord Paxter ended the meeting and left in a hurry.

  The butler who was waiting outside the door took Samwell to the arranged room.

  After tidying up briefly, Samwell went out and walked towards the courtyard he had seen before.

  Since Earl Paxter wanted his daughter to marry him so much, Samwell felt that he had to fulfill Dasmera's "potential fiancé" obligation.

  When it comes to acting, one have to play a full set.

  "Sam!" As soon as he entered the yard, Dasmera waved her arms enthusiastically, "Have you finished talking with my father?"

  "Yes, Miss Dasmera ." Samwell said politely , "I hope my arrival doesn't disturb you all."

  "Of course not. Come and sit down."

  Daven Lannister's face darkened slightly when he first saw Samwell.

  The instinct of a male creature makes him feel a sense of crisis.

  Especially when he heard Dasmera call him affectionately, his vigilance towards Samwell turned into hostility.

  However, he still kept his demeanor, stood up and asked,

  "Miss Dasmera , who is this?"

  "Sir Daven, let me introduce you. Samwell Caesar . Sam , this is Ser Daven of the Lannister family."

  Of course Samwell could hear the difference between Desmera's calling himself and Davon, which made him feel that the earl's daughter in front of him is quite "green", it's because she is afraid I won't be able to fight Daven, right?

  But it's okay, without the green lady fanning the flames, he alone may not be sure to provoke the little lion opposite.

  "Pioneering knight?" Davon smiled. Although he tried his best to hide, the hostility in his eyes was still evident, "Where is Sir Caesar's pioneering territory?

  " Of course it can't compare to the majestic and rich Casterly Rock City." Samwell sat down at the small table and said humbly.

  "Eagle Island is not bad either." Dasmera poured Samwell a cup of scented tea with her own hands, "I heard that a silver mine was found there, isn't it, Sam? "

  Dasmera , who held Samwell's arms , was very good in fanning the flames,

  "The silver mine is not bad. But it's still not as good as the gold mine in Casterly Rock City."

  "It really can't be compared." Samwell drank the tea with a smile, "I heard that the Lannister family shit is made of gold."

  Boom!

  Daven slammed the table, and jumped up with his beard and hair unfurled, like a raging lion:

  "Samwell Caesar, dare you fight me in the tournament field!"
