Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

  Chapter 4 Dinner Party

  When Samwell walked into the banquet hall, the afterglow of the setting sun had gradually dimmed.

  Thousands of scented candles illuminate the hall as if it were daytime, and the floor is covered with thick wool carpets, which are soft and comfortable to step on, as if walking on clouds.

  Long wooden tables are placed in the center of the spacious hall. The tables are uniformly covered with navy blue velvet and decorated with fresh roses of various colors.

  The faint fragrance permeates the air, making you feel refreshed.

  The well-dressed waiter brought Samwell to the table and sat down, and poured him a glass of golden wine from Arbor Island.

   At this time, there was still some time before the banquet started, but quite a few guests had already arrived, talking in twos and threes in low voices.

  Earl Randall and his brother Dickon have also arrived, but their positions are not arranged next to Samwell.

Earl Landau seemed not to have noticed the eldest son's arrival, and lowered his head to sip his wine, while Dickon next to him waved his hand at his elder brother, as if he wanted to come over to talk, but he glanced at his father with a serious face beside him, and didn't dare to get up run around.

   After a while, the owner of the castle finally appeared.

The Duke of Highgarden looks to be in his fifties, and his curly brown hair, which is the signature of the Tyrell family, is already spotted with gray. ".

  However, "Master Inflatable Fish" has a ruddy complexion, a loud voice, and firm and powerful steps, and there is no "physical discomfort" at all.

  Is this guy too lazy to pretend?

  Samwell muttered to himself, but still got up and followed everyone to salute the Duke.

   With the Duke of Metz sitting on the throne, the banquet officially began.

  Young and beautiful maids walked among the long tables like butterflies wearing flowers, serving delicious dishes one after another.

Salmon salad, charcoal-grilled venison leg, pan-fried lamprey, creamy chestnut soup, honey pine nut cake, freshly picked strawberries, and a golden tail shrimp that is quite rare even on the noble dining table. The index finger moved.

  This dinner was actually to celebrate Samwell becoming a Pioneer Knight, but Duke Mace made no secret of his dislike for the useless eldest son of the Tarly family. After a brief introduction to Sam, he immediately changed the topic to other aspects.

   And everyone naturally knows that Samwell can become a pioneer knight. In fact, it is just that Earl Landau wants to change his heir. No one thinks that this famous waste in the River Bend can really open up a new territory.

   Some people are even whispering, laughing and spreading words like "a knight conferred by a woman".

   Regarding these gossips, Samwell decisively chose to ignore them and eat them in silence.

  And when he opened the shell of the golden tail shrimp and stuffed the tender and juicy shrimp meat into his stomach, Samwell was suddenly stunned.

  Because, he found that his strength attribute actually increased by 0.01!

  Eating can add attributes?

   Is there such a good thing?

   Excited, Samwell quickly swept away the rest of the food.

   However, the attribute did not continue to grow.

   After taking a sip of wine and pondering for a moment, Samwell had a guess.

  He called the maid behind him and said:

   "Can I have another golden tail shrimp, please?"

  The maid looked at the fat knight in front of her, and nodded with a suppressed smile:

   "Okay, please wait a moment."

  When the second golden tail shrimp was presented in front of him, Samwell couldn't wait to put it in his mouth.

   Sure enough!

   Strength increased by 0.01 again!

   It seems that this is really the golden tail shrimp, it can actually increase the strength attribute.

  In ecstasy, Samwell turned his head and called the maid again, and asked for another portion despite the disdainful gazes from the surrounding people.

  Because he knows that this kind of golden tail shrimp is an extremely precious ingredient. If he wants to eat it outside the Duke's Mansion, he will have to spend a lot of money to buy it, and he may not be able to buy it.

  So, at this time, there is no need to worry about banquet etiquette or aristocratic face.

   What's more, he has long lost face in the aristocratic circle of the Reach.

  However, when Samwell killed the third goldentail shrimp and seemed to want to eat it again, even the Duke of Mace couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but say:

   "Sam, are goldentail shrimps so delicious?"

  Samwell wiped his mouth with a napkin without changing his face, stood up and saluted: "Yes, Your Excellency, this is the most delicious food I have ever eaten in my life. Please forgive me for losing my composure."

   Facing Samwell's thick skin and words of praise, the Duke of Mace couldn't say much for a while, otherwise it would appear that his master was too stingy.

   "Then you can eat, but don't eat too much, or I'm worried that you won't be able to climb the horseback tomorrow. Hahaha..."

   Seemingly proud of his ridicule, Duke of Mace smiled like a pumpkin at a harvest banquet.

   Everyone also laughed, and the banquet hall was filled with a happy atmosphere.

  Samwell seemed unaware of these ridicules, thanked the Duke loudly for his generosity, and then turned to the maid, saying:

   "Another golden tail shrimp, thank you!"

   You have already laughed at me anyway, **** it, wouldn’t it be a loss if I don’t eat it!

  But at this time, the butler came over, and said with a embarrassed expression:

   "I'm so sorry, Sir, the ingredients for goldentail shrimp have been used up."

  Samwell suspected that this guy just said this because he was reluctant to feed himself, but he had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly and let it go.

   Duke of Metz suddenly laughed again:

   "Sam, there should be a lot of venison in the kitchen, do you want some?"

   Who rare venison.

  Samwell was about to decline, but he heard the mother of the Duke of Mace, "Queen of Thorns", Olenna Redwyne suddenly said:

   "I have never liked this kind of shellfish, Sam, if you don't mind, you can eat this from me."

  Samwell glanced at the silver-haired, short old lady in surprise, wondering why the "Queen of Thorns", who had always been sour in rumors, would be so kind to him today.

  He asked himself that he was not a young hero, and he had nothing worthy of the other party's scheme.

  Of course, on the surface, Samwell still put on a look of honor, saluted with a smile:

   "How could I despise Mrs. Olenna's gift."

   "Okay, okay." Olenna smiled all over her face, "A good knight must first have a good appetite, take it."

  The maid was about to step forward, but Olenna winked at her granddaughter Margaery beside her.

  Margaery understood immediately, and actually picked up the golden tail shrimp in front of Olenna herself, and walked towards Samwell.

  She actually wondered why her grandmother treated Samwell so courteously, but this smart girl kept her doubts in her heart, and cooperated with her grandmother tacitly to complete this courtship.

  Samwell was flattered and quickly got up to thank him.

   "You are a knight handbooked by me, so you don't need to be so polite." Margaery put the silver dinner plate in front of Samwell, smiled softly, and showed great demeanor.

  The daughter of the duke changed into a pure white satin dress tonight. Her body proportions are excellent, and the close-fitting dress highlights every ups and downs of her body, weaving into fascinating curves. The complicated engraved gold headdress, the sapphire necklace on the chest, and the elegant skirt made of layers of silk chiffon all reveal the unique luxury of the top aristocrats.

   Just by looking at it, one can feel a sense of distant class, which makes people feel ashamed.

   But now, the most beautiful rose in Highgarden actually personally delivers meals to clowns like Samwell.

  This scene made everyone in the hall dumbfounded.

   Especially those young male guests, the invisible flames in their eyes almost roasted Samwell.

  However, facing the approach of such a beautiful girl, Samwell was extremely vigilant.

  Of course, on the surface, Samwell still showed the nervousness and panic that a cowardly boy should have when facing the Duke's daughter, and tried his best to conceal the surprise.

   Olenna looked at Samwell at a loss under the charm of her granddaughter, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, and said:

   "Sam, where are you going to develop? Do you have a goal?"

   "Dear Mrs. Olenna, I... I haven't figured it out yet."

   "Since you haven't set a goal yet, I have a suggestion."

  Samwell immediately became alert when he heard the words.

   It is said that the gifts of fate have already secretly marked the price. Obviously, the gift of this "Queen of Thorns" will naturally not be free.

  However, the golden tail shrimp has already accepted it, and it is still in his territory. Of course, Samwell dare not refuse, and said:

   "Please tell me."

  Olenna shook her head and whetted her appetite: "We won't talk about business at the banquet, so how about it, come to me tomorrow, and we'll talk in detail."

   "Yes, ma'am."
