12 Secret

Dear Miss Margery:

I'm sorry to bother you again, but I must confess to you that I have no money again...

This time it really wasn’t me spending money randomly, but it happened for a reason.

You must also know that I am not the son that my father loves, so he only left me a long sword and a war horse. Other than that, I have nothing.

Now that the Crimson Mountains are in front of me, I feel it is necessary to improve my equipment to prepare for the upcoming battle. What's more, as a knight, how can I not even have a pair of armor? If word spread, others would think Tilly

Your family treats its vassals harshly.

Fortunately, we met the Hightower family's caravan near Highland City, and they had exactly what I needed. Therefore, I donated generously. Of course, I always kept your previous instructions in mind and deliberately gave up the expensive board.

Armor, and chose cheap chain armor.

In addition, I also purchased a pair of leather armor for each of the new recruits.

I know this move may make you angry. However, this group of brave and fearless River Bend people followed me thousands of miles to open up the Crimson Mountains. I really can't bear to let them go to the battlefield naked.

I believe that the beautiful and kind-hearted Miss Margery must think so too.



"Humph!" The beautiful and kind-hearted Miss Margery crumpled the letter into a ball and gritted her teeth in anger.

But the next moment, she suddenly burst into laughter again, as if she remembered something funny.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Olenna on the side looked at her granddaughter who was angry and laughing, and asked curiously.

"It's not that Samwell, he actually wrote to me again asking for money!"

"Give it to him."

Facing Mrs. Olenna's light answer, Margery's eyes widened: "But grandma, this guy has written a letter asking for money for the second time! I think he is deliberately squandering it. If I give it to him again this time, I'm afraid

It didn’t take long before he ran out again…”

"Are we short of money?" Madam Olenna interrupted with a smile.

Margaery shook her head, but she was still angry: "Although we are not short of money, we cannot let him ask for it arbitrarily. No, he is blackmailing!"

"Then I won't give it to you, and let Todd bring all our soldiers back."

"Ah?" Margaery, who was still angry just now, hesitated after hearing this, "But...but grandma, in this case, can Samwell still develop smoothly...and don't you plan to use him to deal with many people?"

Is that okay? Do you just give up like this?"

Mrs. Olenna smiled and said:

"You see, this is why he dares to blackmail you without restraint."

Margery sighed, stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Olenna's arm, and said coquettishly:

"Grandma, please teach me what should I do in this situation?"

Mrs. Olenna patted her granddaughter's little hand affectionately, and instead of answering her question, she asked:

"What do you think of Samwell Caesar?"

"I think he is different from the rumors, well - except that he is indeed very fat. They say he is timid and cowardly, but I think he is quite courageous and dares to blackmail the Tyrell family."

"Not only did he have the courage to blackmail, he also killed Todd Flowers' attendant Carter."

"What?" Margery was surprised.

"You heard it right." Lady Olenna explained, "I also just received a letter from Todd Flowers, saying that Samwell killed Carter for 'threatening the nobles with a sword'."

"He...how dared he kill Carter? Todd didn't stop him? Also, wasn't he worried that those soldiers would hold a grudge because of this?"

Lady Olenna took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Margaery:

"This is Todd's letter. Read it yourself."

Margery took the letter, scanned it, and said in surprise:

"This fat man is quite scheming, and he is so decisive... It seems that the rumors are really not credible."

Mrs. Olenna added with a deep look:

"Actually, what surprised me the most was Samwell's ability to train soldiers."

"Yes. In just over a month, he was able to turn a group of dock workers into well-trained soldiers. This is simply incredible."

"Rando Tarly has a good way of raising his son." Lady Olenna sighed with emotion, then looked suspicious, "Bold, decisive, scheming and resourceful, as well as outstanding military capabilities, Samwell has all the qualities.

He has the qualities that a lord's heir should have. But with such an outstanding son, how can Landao be so dissatisfied? He actually wants to deprive him of his inheritance rights?"

"Maybe he thinks Sam is too fat."

"Isn't your father also a pot-bellied 'inflatable fish', but does this affect his becoming the Duke of Highgarden?"

"This is different." Although she had long been accustomed to her grandmother's venomous tongue, Margaery was still a little embarrassed when she heard her mocking her father. "The Tully family motto is 'I am the pioneer', so Earl Randyll is

I just want a heir who can charge into battle."

"Haha, do you think Randyll Tarly is a brainless fool?"

"Of course not. Lord Landau is one of the most outstanding generals in the Reach. How could he be so brainless? I just feel that Lord Landau prefers to charge forward on the battlefield rather than engage in conspiracies behind the scenes."

"You still think Landao is a brainless fool." Mrs. Olenna mercilessly exposed Margaery's whitewashing, and then continued without waiting for her to defend herself, "Randao will not engage in conspiracy.

A trick? Haha. During the War of the Reavers, Robert Baratheon rose up to rebel against the Targaryen family. He achieved three victories in Summerhall and was unstoppable. However, he met Randyll Tarly at Ashford.

They were defeated and fled north. Afterwards, the Reach army advanced into the Stormlands and surrounded Storm's End. Do you remember how long the siege lasted?"

"I remember it was more than a year."

"Yes. More than a year! In the end, we still couldn't capture it." Mrs. Olenna looked into her granddaughter's brown eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Then do you still remember that the reason why this siege failed in the end was

What?"

Margaery nodded: "It was Davos Seaworth who successfully sailed his smuggling ship full of onions into the port of Storm's End, resolving the city's food shortage crisis and allowing Storm's End to persist until Eddard.

The moment the Duke came to support. Because of this incident, Davos was also canonized as a knight by Stannis."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Lady Olenna's face, and she asked again: "Have you ever thought carefully about the time when more than two hundred warships of the Arbor Fleet surrounded the harbor of Storm's End, and that 'Onion Knight'

'And how did he get his smuggling boat in? Can he fly?"

Margery frowned, seeming to realize something.

Lady Olenna's eyes were deep and she said, "Let me tell you a secret. During the siege, Randyll Tarly wrote me a letter saying that the food in Storm's End has been exhausted."

Margery was stunned when she heard this, and then became confused——

His grandmother did not go to the battlefield at that time, so why did Lord Landau bother to write to his grandmother in Highgarden to report this matter?

But when she thought of "Onion Knight", she suddenly had an idea.

Seeing her granddaughter's reaction, Mrs. Olenna smiled happily and said:
Chapter completed!
