The sudden change in the field did not attract the attention of the nobles below who were changing cups and cups. As if it was a small episode, two guards pushed the bachelor back to his chair.
The bachelor did not struggle at this time, his palms were trembling slightly, and beads of sweat fell down his cheeks. He seemed to know what had happened, and gave up the struggle as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
"Um?"
Oberon, who was sitting at the same table, saw this scene and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He looked up and down at the bachelor with some surprise, as well as the two guards standing behind the bachelor who controlled him.
And his mistress Ellaria, who was sitting next to Oberon, poked him gently, then covered her mouth and leaned close to his ear, as if she was asking Oberon in a low voice what happened.
However, Oberon shook his head slightly and didn't say anything more. He just told her not to worry about it and just watch it quietly.
As for the other side, the red-robed witch sitting at the same table was speechless. She picked up the wine glass and took a sip. She looked at the bachelor and then at Oberon's reaction.
Then the Red God Priest looked at the direction Rhaenys and Daenerys were leaving, with a slightly thoughtful look in his eyes.
The people sitting at this table are all high-level officials of Andalus. After the two girls Rhaenys and Daenerys left, everyone left present is not the best among the best.
.
Sir Geoffrey did not attend this banquet because he needed to rest. However, people with rumors learned that the old Sir's physical recovery was not good. Perhaps he had to decide to delegate power because of this. Several nobles wanted to win over the fleet commander.
The position of commander.
At the moment, the people on the main seat were silent, and no one spoke to the bachelor who was obviously under control.
Even Prince Oberon, who was an 'alumnus' of Maester Gunther and had a good relationship with him on weekdays, remained silent. The maester was the only one sitting in the seat, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with trembling hands.
He lowered his head and said nothing.
He knew what happened to him, and even gave up any attempt to defend himself.
The maester actually had such a sense of crisis a long time ago. He originally intended to leave Andalos for Dragonstone, and then return directly to Westeros when Dragonstone fell.
But he never expected that Stannis would sell him.
Stannis will not let a dispensable person affect his battle plan. Even if the status of the maester is not much worse than him, there is no such thing in Stannis who is like a stone in a pit, with a bad temper and a hard temper.
What's the use?
The raid on Dragonstone was a war he had planned for several years. He had rehearsed it many times and bribed some officers of the Dragonstone fleet through some methods.
Because the Dragonstone Navy once gave him the most humiliating battle in his career, when the newly built Royal Fleet was completely wiped out in his hands.
Therefore, the stubborn Stannis has been eyeing the Dragonstone fleet and his commander-in-chief ever since, vowing to avenge his shame.
So why is a spy hiding in Andalos qualified to influence Stannis's battle plan?
Stannis did not take such a young man seriously at all. No matter how noble his bloodline was, he would not waste the opportunity to fight just for him.
therefore.
The bachelor was not 'qualified' to know the royal fleet's raid plan in advance, so he did not catch the train and board the Dragonstone Island, and then stayed on as a matter of course. Instead, he was abandoned to Andalos.
It is precisely because of this that the maester has been living in fear since the day Dragonstone fell. Even every time he saw Viserys, he couldn't help but be frightened, fearing that what he had done had been discovered, and then
Sent to the gallows.
However, such days have passed for a long time, and the bachelor originally thought that the matter was over.
It was not until recently that he discovered that there were always some vague guards and servants wandering around outside his maester's tower, and then he realized that Viserys still had not given up on tracing Mirri's death and that his letters had been read.
matter.
now.
The Dongchuang Incident happened.
The maester knew that he had been targeted by Viserys for a long time, and it might be futile to try to explain himself now.
He simply saved his last bit of dignity, neither begging for mercy from Viserys nor asking Oberon to say a kind word for him, but just sat on the chair and quietly waited for the judgment to come.
Afterwards, not too much time passed.
There was still singing and dancing below.
A soldier held a tray with a full glass of wine in front of the bachelor's eyes.
"Master Gunther, this is the wine given to you by His Majesty."
The crystal clear wine rippled slightly and shone with beautiful colors in the luxurious glass. However, in the bachelor's eyes, this glass of wine seemed like a poisonous snake hissing at him.
"What?"
When he saw this scene, Oberon's eyes looked a bit incredulous. He didn't expect that things would reach this point.
What happened, what mistake Gunther made, and why Viserys was so angry.
However, Oberon was about to say something, but Maester Gunther did not give him this chance.
The bachelor, who was only in his thirties, held the wine in the glass with slightly trembling hands, and his voice became trembling.
"Thank you...Your Majesty...for the wine."
After that, he didn’t say too much nonsense, just raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Snapped--
Then the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound. The luxurious glass water glass instantly fell into pieces, the fragments flew everywhere, and the sound spread throughout the entire hall.
"Um?"
"what happened?"
The singing and dancing below also stopped abruptly, and the nobles who were cheering and drinking didn't know what happened.
However, it was not until this time that he saw a dozen fully armed guards gathered on the throne that he realized that something big had happened.
The bachelor drank the poisoned wine, broke the glass, and then sat quietly on a chair with his head lowered, waiting for death to come.
However, this did not make him wait too long.
next moment.
A pain felt like a thousand cuts in his abdomen, and the bachelor's face instantly turned as red as blood.
His eyes widened, and his whole body began to twitch violently. The chair beneath him made a violent sound due to his twitching.
Crash--
There was a lot of soup and wine on the table in front of me.
Melisandre restrained her red robe slightly and calmly left her seat, while Oberon also took his mistress away from the maester who was convulsing violently.
And in the next second.
puff--
The bachelor, who was convulsing violently, suddenly spurted out blood from his seven orifices, staining his clothes red, and then he became completely motionless.
