Britney's actions, expression, and tone were unnatural. However, Gordi Farlin had a preconceived prejudice against her and did not notice anything unusual.
"Why do you want to see His Majesty? In what capacity do you want to see His Majesty, Britney of Tarth? Danny Rize's Roseless Iron Guard? Or the White Knight of the false King Aegon? "
Gordi Farlin's smile gradually became vicious. "You are the heir of Tarth Island. Your father swore loyalty to Theon Byra, but you have changed your master three times.
Tsk tsk, a shameless person like you is just right to be the false king who tarnishes the bloodline. "
"Clang!" Breeni drew her sword angrily and pointed the black-red rippling longsword at the tip of Gaudi's nose. "If you dare to insult my lord again, I swear, no one can stop this sword from cutting off your tongue!"
Gordi Farlin heard this and was furious. He wanted to teach this ugly woman that his reputation as the "Giant Killer" was not to be trifled with.
"Stop!" A thin knight with a pockmarked face shouted and walked over to stop Gordi.
The pockmarked knight looked back and forth between Britney and Gordi with a sharp gaze and growled, "You are not only representing yourselves. Do you want to start a war in Winterfell?"
Britney's blue eyes were full of determination. She said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "I don't want to cause trouble, but a White Knight should solve the problem for the Lord."
The pockmarked knight raised his eyebrows and felt that the female knight's words were strange. However, when he turned to look at Gordi, he realized that his companion must have said something to insult Aegon.
"What are you doing here?" The pockmarked knight asked.
"Sir Richard, I wish to see Lord Stannis."
The pockmarked knight was Richard Hope, a Stormlands noble. He was skilled in swordsmanship and horsemanship. He had a high chance of becoming Robert's White Knight, but he had an ugly face full of pockmarks and scars.
Cersei despised him for being ugly and said a lot of bad things to Robert, ruining his bright future.
"What do you want from His Majesty?"
Perhaps the freckles on Britney's rough face made him feel close, but the pockmarked knight's tone was still gentle.
Britney pursed her fat lips and said dryly, "I have a few questions to ask Lord Stannis."
Richard did not ask her what she wanted to ask, and directly asked the guards to go upstairs to ask for instructions from His Majesty.
With Britney's identity, status, and reputation, she was qualified to meet anyone in the Seven Kingdoms.
Erlu did not reject Tarth's daughter, the Naked Iron Guard, and King Aegon's White Knight.
Soon, Richard personally brought Britney to a spacious living room on the second floor.
A huge map of the Seven Kingdoms was spread out on a square table the size of a bed. Erlu was crouching on the table, making marks on the map with a pen.
If Britney was more experienced and not so nervous, she would be shocked to find that the location marked by Erlu was not the North at all, not the Great Wall or Terror Castle, nor the valley or Storm's End Castle.
It was the King's Landing!
"What do you want to ask?" Erlu was so focused on his work on the map that he did not even raise his head.
At a position three steps away from the square table, Britney stopped because the four armored guards on the left and right sides of Erlu looked over with sharp and puzzled eyes.
"My Lord, did you kill King Renly?"
This time, Britney asked the question in her heart. Her expression, tone, and actions were very natural.
But this sentence was like a bolt from the blue without warning, causing the four guards and Sir Richard behind her to change their expressions at the same time.
Erlu finally raised his head, and two cold lights shot out from his deep eye sockets. He gritted his teeth and said, "Britney of Tarth Island, do you know what you are talking about? Even the White Knight of the false king can't talk nonsense in front of me. "
"Lord Stannis, please look into my eyes and answer this question directly!" Britney opened her wide mouth and shouted with her loudest voice.
"How dare you!" Because he was so angry, the pockmarks on Sir Richard's face lit up like little stars.
He took a step forward and clamped Britney's right arm with his left hand (the dominant hand for holding the sword). His right hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, and half of the sharp blade came out of the scabbard.
"Your Majesty, she slandered you in front of your face!" The knight asked the king for instructions.
Erlu roared at Britney, "Get out."
"I won't leave until you give me an answer."
Britney struggled hard, causing the lean man's body to tilt and almost stumble to the ground.
Every pockmark on Richard's face expressed shame and anger. He pulled out his sword and was about to slash.
"Sir Richard, stop!"
Fortunately, his king had not completely lost his mind.
After the pockmarked knight angrily retreated to the side, Erlu raised his chin slightly and glanced at Britney's pure blue eyes that were as clear as a lake. He then lowered his eyes without leaving a trace and said, "Britney Tars, I didn't expect you to do this for that false king.
Because he pretended to be a Targaryen with a lowly mixed blood and was despised by the people of the Seven Kingdoms, you slandered and ruined my reputation, trying to drag me down to his level? "
Britney's thick lips opened slightly, and the stubbornness on her rough round face turned into confusion.
After being stunned for a while, she said hesitantly, "Lord Stannis, what are you talking about? The people of the Seven Kingdoms do misunderstand His Majesty Aegon, but it's not to the same level as you! "
Erlu was about to say, of course not on the same level as me, I'm much more noble than him.
Then he heard Britney continue, "His Majesty Aegon's experience is too fantastical. Everyone misunderstands and only doubts his identity, but you have morals and beliefs …"
"You murdered Lord Renly, you killed your own family, you burned the statues of the Seven Gods and the Godswood, and you worship foreign evil gods, you blaspheme. “
"Your reputation is far worse than His Majesty Aegon's! “
"Bam! Bam! Bam!" Erlu's teeth made a crisp sound like he was chewing on broad beans.
"Leave here before I change my mind."
Sir Richard put his hand on the hilt of his sword again and stared at the female knight with murderous eyes.
"My lord, you haven't answered my question yet." Britney straightened her back and insisted, "Before I became His Majesty Aegon's Kingsguard, I was His Majesty Renly's Blue Cloth Guard. I will not give up on avenging His Majesty Renly for the rest of my life! "
"Blue Cloth Guard?"
The anger on his face gradually disappeared, and Erlu fell into deep thought.
In the Rebellion of the Four Kings, there were actually five kings.
However, Renly was born too early and did not fight a single battle. That was why he was not counted as one of the Kings of Rebellion. Cersei had ten galleys, and one of them was named after Renly. That was to say, the Iron Throne officials did not consider him a King of Rebellion.
But among the four rebel kings, Balon, Erlu, Renly, and Robb, only Renly established a complete Kingsguard team.
Robb and Balon did not want to fight for the Iron Throne, and Erlu waited for Barristan for a long time.
Renly called his Kingsguard the "Rainbow Guard".
The White Knight used pure white as the emblem, and the seven members of the Rainbow Guard each wore a rainbow-colored cloak and armor.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, Britney was a Blue Cloth Guard.
So, Danny was wrong to call her a "Roseless Iron Guard". She was already a Kingsguard. She had a robe, a blue robe!
"I didn't expect you to still remember your former responsibility." Erlu sighed.
Renly had a total of seven Rainbow Guards. Except for the two killed by the Knight of Flowers, there were five left.
The Knight of Flowers, Loras, had himself defected to Lannister. Britney had been wrongly accused of murdering Renly and had to run away. The remaining three had all turned to Erlu.
Even though Erlu was angry at the female knight's "slander" of him, he appreciated her persistence and loyalty.
The king's face showed some obvious sadness and lamented, "Renly was my brother. I did not love him very much. That is the truth.
I am as sad about his death as I am.
But I did not murder him.
I am the king, the lord of the army. On the night of Renly's death, countless upright knights in my barracks saw their king.
This kind of thing cannot be faked. Thousands of people can testify for me. "
Don't think that Erlu was lying to Britney. He had also said this to his trusted minister, Davos.
Or rather, this was his true inner thought.
True thoughts did not equal truth. Otherwise, who knew how many gods would appear in the mental hospital.
Britney was indeed intimidated by Erlu's sincere feelings, but in the next moment, she found a flaw in his words.
"You used blood magic to kill His Majesty Renly. I saw it with my own eyes. It was not a living person, but a shadow.
Lady Catelyn saw it more clearly than I did. The shadow was the same height and appearance as you. It was your shadow!
Therefore, your alibi is not applicable to this case! "
"Hahaha, how can you see the appearance of a shadow? Ridiculous!" The pockmarked knight pointed at the floor and laughed.
The fireplace was burning fiercely, and the red flames projected the shadows of the people beside it on the floor.
The shadows were distorted, and even their shape could not be seen clearly, let alone their appearance.
"The blood magic of a Shadow Binding Knight is different from ordinary shadows. It is like a real body, and its appearance is clear." Britney said.
"Where did you hear this nonsense?" Erlu gritted his teeth.
"Her Majesty Danny Rize. She has already studied the blood magic you used to kill His Majesty Renly."
"So it was her. She has been slandering me behind my back." A swollen vein bulged on Erlu's forehead, and he gritted his teeth.
"Her Majesty Danny Rize did not slander you. She only formed a mage group and focused on the blood magic you used to kill His Majesty Renly.
Tyrion manages the mage group, the fire mage group, and the queen's research results. He knows all about it, so you can't hide it anymore. "
Britney stared coldly at Erlu and said in a condemning tone.
Erlu's face became more and more twisted. "I explained to you because I admired your upright and noble character, but now I realize that I was wrong. You have been brainwashed by those traitorous ministers. You are hopeless!"
"Go. Don't let me hear another word from your tongue. Otherwise, Sir Richard will cut it off for me." He waved his hand and turned his head, as if he did not want to look at her.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Even if she is the false king's white knight, her head should be cut off as punishment for saying such disgraceful words. "
The pockmarked knight stared at Britney with malice, hoping that she would be stubborn again.
"I swore that I would avenge His Majesty Renly! Lord Stannis, it is fine if you don't admit it. I will ask the red robed woman.
If I am sure that you killed His Majesty Renly, I will kill you. I swear.
If I am proven to have misunderstood you, I will put down my sword and kneel in front of you, at your disposal. "
After saying this, Britney turned and left.
"Your Majesty?" The pockmarked knight unsheathed his sword and looked at his king.
Erlu's eyes flashed with a dark light. He said indifferently, "Don't mind her."
