The glimmer of morning light shines on a garden full of golden roses, and the dewdrops on the petals sparkle with crystal luster, like pure crystals, embellishing this elegant garden like a fairyland.

Several beautiful larks walked among the treetops, flew over the vibrant flowers, and sang beautiful melodies.

However, this beautiful early morning scene was broken by a rude voice:

"Damn Samwell! If he can't calm down, he'll get me into trouble!"

Governor of the Reach, Warden of the South, Duke of Highgarden, Mace Tyrell had a big belly, waving a letter with his thick arms, and his fat face was full of anger.

"Before, he recruited hundreds of workers from my wharf without saying hello. I didn't care about him. Last time he wanted the refugees from High Court. For the sake of my precious daughter, I didn't make it difficult for him. This time,

He actually provoked Starfall City! He still wants me to send troops to support him? He regards me as..."

"Father, drink tea." Margaery Tyrell brought the silver teacup to Duke Mace's mouth, just in time to silence the rest of his complaints.

The Duke of Metz took the tea cup and suddenly couldn't lose his temper when facing his daughter's bright smiling face, so he had to be pulled by her to sit down on the chair.

After taking a sip of tea, Duke Metz said to Lady Olenna in front of him:

"Mother, have you read the letter? Do you think this Samwell is a troublemaker?"

Mrs. Olenna put her hands in her sleeves and kept staring at the lark outside the pavilion. After hearing this, she said calmly:

"Samwell is indeed a troublesome boy. However, I really don't blame him this time."

"Don't blame him?"

The old lady nodded and said: "I just received news from Blackport City a few days ago that Edric Dane and Aliria Dane were unfortunately killed in a hunting accident."

The Duke of Metz was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Mother, what does this have to do with the kid from Yingzui Island?"

Margaery spoke at the right time: "These are the last two children of the main branch of the Dane family, right? No wonder Starfall City went crazy."

Only then did the Duke of Mace react and shouted: "It couldn't have been this guy Samwell, right?"

Olenna rolled her eyes and no longer wanted to talk to her stupid son.

Margaery poured her father a cup of tea and whispered, "It must be someone deliberately provoking it, right?"

Mrs. Olenna smiled at her granddaughter, as if she had finally found some comfort. Then she turned to her son and said angrily:

"Lord Inflatable Fish, your vassal has written for help. Do you think we should send troops to support him?"

The Duke of Metz didn't pay attention to the ridicule in his mother's tone. This wasn't the first time anyway. Instead, he felt even more disgusted with Samwell who had made a fool of himself and said:

"His castle hasn't been built yet, so according to the lord's law, Yingzui Island is not officially a river bend territory. What reason do I have to start a war? Which vassal is willing to fight for such a disputed land?

Dornishmen desperate?"

Lady Olenna spoke a name: "Rando Tarly."

"Landao?" Duke Mace frowned, "Although Samwell is his son, he is also the son who was deprived of his inheritance rights and kicked out of the family. Do you think he will send troops for the Eagle's Beak Island?"

"I don't know." Mrs. Olenna smiled slightly and said leisurely: "But I really want to know."

"Ah?" The Duke of Metz was stunned again.

Margaery spoke again at the right time: "Father, my grandmother never believed that Lord Landau really gave up Samwell as his son, so she wanted to take this opportunity to test it out."

"Oh." The Duke of Metz nodded, "Okay, then I will write a letter to tell Landao about this. However, I will not give him any orders. It is up to him to decide whether to send troops or not."

After saying that, the Duke of Metz stepped forward and kissed the foreheads of his mother and daughter, and then left in a hurry.

Although he loves them very much, the Duke of Metz feels uncomfortable every time he is alone with them, especially his mother, Lady Olenna. In front of her, the Duke of Metz feels like a fool.

Margaery sent her father out of the garden, then returned to the pavilion, poured a cup of scented tea for Lady Olenna, and asked:

"Grandma, what if Earl Landau really doesn't send troops?"

Mrs. Olenna took a sip of scented tea and said calmly: "Then Samwell can only rely on himself."

After saying that, she put down the tea cup, stretched out her hand to play with the sapphire necklace on her granddaughter's chest, and said with a smile:

"What? You can't bear to part with the first knight you canonized?"

"It's a bit. Sam is actually a very capable pioneer knight." Margaery put her smooth face on the back of her grandmother's wrinkled hand and rubbed it gently, "And we have invested so much in this period of time.

Do. Todd Flower Knight, a hundred elite soldiers, and thousands of golden dragons... Now it seems that Yingzui Island is about to become a real river bend territory, and it can also produce brandy and silver, so I just gave up.

It’s such a pity.”

Mrs. Olenna gently stroked her granddaughter's cheek, but her words were extremely cold:

"A rose in the garden has a disease. No matter how beautiful it is, no matter how much time and effort you have put into taking care of it, it must be removed when it is time. Otherwise, if the disease spreads, it will be ruined.

Your whole garden.”

Margaery was a little reluctant: "Then we have to try to cure it first."

"This is not a simple insect disease." Lady Olenna shook her head and sighed, "You also know that the two heirs of the Dane family have died. And the timing of their death is so coincidental, it is obvious that someone has noticed us.

The plan on Yingzui Island is to provoke a war.

Although we originally built the territory on Yingzui Island to deal with Dorne, the timing of the war must not be grasped by others. Otherwise, we will only be passive everywhere, and even the flowers planted in other places will be affected.

Yingzui Island is already a sore exposed to the eyes of vultures, so let’s take this opportunity to let the Dornish people dig it out for us. Brandy can be brewed elsewhere, and how can we lack such money as silver.”

Hearing what her grandmother said, Margery had no choice but to give up.

She thought for a while and then asked: "Grandma, can you tell who is causing trouble this time?"

"There are a few suspicious targets. However, that person is very careful, and I can't tell for sure." Mrs. Olenna pressed her granddaughter's frown, as if she wanted to smooth it away, and comforted her with a smile, "You are also

Don’t worry too much. The illegitimate son in Starfall City is just trying to gain attention and honor, and will not offend us easily, so even if Samwell loses, his life will not be in danger.

When the time comes, we will pay to redeem him, appease him, and use it elsewhere.

Moreover, it’s time for that kid to suffer some losses. Otherwise, I feel like he’s about to float into the sky.

Don't you know, Paxter once wanted him to marry Desmera, but that kid actually refused."

Margaery's eyes widened: "He doesn't even like the eldest daughter of Qingting Island? Then who else does he want to marry?"

"Who knows." Lady Olenna snorted.

"Grandma, what if Earl Landau really sends troops to support Yingzui Island and helps Sam defend it?"

"That means Randyll Tarly has not really given up on his son. He may have had other plans when he drove him out of the house. Before we see his true purpose clearly, we should not get involved hastily. The mess on Yingzui Island

Just leave it to the Tullys, and don't give Samwell any more support."

Margaery nodded, understanding what her grandmother meant, but then she thought of the last possible development of this matter - Samwell defended Eagle's Beak Island by himself without anyone's help.

But this result is too incredible. The Dane family's army is not comparable to that of the savages. No matter how powerful Samwell is, he cannot be his opponent.

Margaery immediately put this ridiculous idea behind her and secretly prayed to the Seven Gods, asking them to protect her knight from this war.
