Game of Thrones: I am Dothraki, not a barbarian

Chapter 163 Brienne's Request
Renly fled the hall in a disheveled state, only to bump into Garan Tyrell, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, at the doorway.

"Lanley, where's my sister?" Garland grabbed Lanley's collar without a word, his eyes blazing with rage, and gritted his teeth, "You're a damned piece of trash!"

"What right do you have to speak to the king like that!" Renly shoved Garland aside, saying impatiently, "Hmph, how much better are you than me? You reek of horse manure, don't you even bother to wash yourself!"

Garland staggered as he was pushed, sneering repeatedly: "In the Battle of Pentos, you ignored my advice and lost three thousand elite soldiers from Stormlands. Yes, those were your Stormlands soldiers, I can't control them, but this time you've sacrificed all your comrades from the Reach!"
"You idiot, you moron, all you have is ambition and no talent. Stannis and Tywin are eyeing you covetously, and your 80,000 troops are demoralized. Do you even know you've put the Reach in grave danger?"

If I can see it, then Laharo can see it too, and my grandmother can see it even better. When she withdraws her support for you, just find the highest castle and jump off!

Good stepped forward, standing between Garland and Renly, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Garland, please do not speak to your king like that. His Majesty may have tolerated this once, but that doesn't mean it will happen again! Otherwise, don't blame the Rainbow Guards for pointing their swords at you!"

Garan was so angry he laughed, and he bowed exaggeratedly: "Yes, Your Majesty!" After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

Renly stared at Garan's retreating figure, a sinister glint in his eyes. Garan had made him lose face, and he had already figured out how to get revenge.

...

Garland crossed the courtyard and headed straight for the secluded stables. This place became his and Vera's bedroom. Although it was a punishment from his father, and even the servants kept their distance from them, it was a relief for Garland.

There were no aristocratic formalities or family responsibilities, only the purest form of companionship.

He pushed open the creaking wooden door and was immediately greeted by the warm candlelight.

Vera knelt on the dry grass, sewing a small garment for her unborn son or daughter.

Upon seeing Galan enter, she immediately put down her work, and a bright smile instantly bloomed on her face.

"You're back."

"Yes." Garland nodded with a smile.

Garland took off his outer robe and lay down beside her, resting his head on Vera's lap. Inhaling Vera's fragrance, a warm and peaceful feeling welled up in his heart, which made him very relaxed.

Garland gently stroked Vera's slightly protruding belly, where the fruit of their love was growing.

“You woke him up, he’ll kick me.” Vera laughed and grabbed his hand, then asked, “What message did Kao send back?”

“Having nothing is the most worrying thing. That idiot Renly…” Garland cursed through gritted teeth.

Vera comforted him, "Margaery is your sister, Khal would never harm her. But..." She paused, then smiled, "Your father might have to bleed a little, don't you, Tyrell, feel sorry for him?"

Garland couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I'm just the second son. It's my father and my brother Velas who should be crying their eyes out."

Amidst laughter, the two were playfully wrestling, about to take things further, when the stable door was suddenly pushed open, and they immediately sat up.

Brienne Tass's tall figure appeared in the doorway, her gaze sweeping over the shabby stables, her brow furrowing involuntarily. Seeing Garland and Vera so intimate, Brienne felt embarrassed, but quickly regained her composure.

“Sir Garland,” she said bluntly, “I need your help.”

“Let me guess,” Garland sneered, “King Renly sent you to ask me to rescue my dear sister?”

Brienne glanced at Vera, a fleeting look of disgust in her eyes.

Now it is common knowledge in Highgarden that Garan Tyrell has pledged his life to a Dothraki woman, and has even been punished by Mace to live in the stables for it.

“His Majesty did not speak, but I came of my own accord,” Brienne took a deep breath, bowed deeply, and said in a solemn voice, “Please, Sir Garland, help His Majesty the King.”

Brienne possesses her own pride, but for His Majesty the King, she would go through fire and water for him, no matter how difficult the task.

In an instant, Brienne's thoughts returned to the ball on Tass, where her father wanted to find her a husband.

The young knights seemed to be vying to invite her to dance, which delighted her, until she discovered their snickers and mockery.

The knights were merely betting among themselves who could take Brienne's virginity. Just as she was about to flee in humiliation, Renly extended his hand and invited her to dance, saving her dignity.

From that moment on, she devoted her loyalty and love to that prince.

At the martial arts tournament a few days ago, she came specifically for Lan Li, defeated three Rainbow Guards, and he personally tied the blue cloak on her, making her the only female among the Rainbow Guards.

In any case, she will always fight for Renly, remain faithful to him for life, and even die for him.

When Brienne saw that Garland did not respond, she knelt on one knee and pleaded again, "Sir Garland, I beg you as the Earl of Tass!"

Just then, Vera suddenly spoke up: "Lord Kao will not harm Miss Margaret, please rest assured. If you wish to negotiate, Garan will certainly accompany you."

Brienne glanced at Vera, and the hostility in her eyes lessened somewhat, because the woman's tone was very sincere.

“I am deeply grateful for Sir Garland’s willingness to help,” Brienne said sincerely.

Garland glanced at the shabby stables, then at Vera's swollen belly; this was clearly not a suitable place to raise a child.

"If there's anything you need, let Renly come to me himself," Garland said, then politely gestured for him to leave.

...

The next day, Garland received a summons from his father and led Vera to the central council hall.

In the council chamber, Mays, Lady Olenna, and Renly were already present, along with many nobles and ladies from the Reach, and their children.

As Garland and Vera walked into the hall, the murmurs subsided abruptly, and they began whispering among themselves, occasionally pointing and talking about them.

King Renly sat in the main seat, wearing a green velvet coat with gold trim and a crown of antlers, looking every bit the king. But when he saw Garland, his lips twitched noticeably, as if he had swallowed a dead fly.

“Galan,” Mays cleared his throat, “given the urgency of the current situation, His Majesty the King has requested that you accompany him to the Lahalo camp for negotiations.”

"What, he doesn't dare to go himself? He doesn't even dare to ask me?" Garan's eyes were full of disdain as he shook his head: "Father, I'm sorry, I have to refuse."

The hall erupted in uproar. Lan Li's face turned ashen, but he managed to suppress his rage.

“Margaret is your sister!” Mace’s face flushed red. “She’s in jail right now!”

“Vera is my wife! And how did Father treat her?” Garland retorted, raising his voice several decibels.

“She is not your wife!” Mace roared, standing up abruptly. “You will never receive the bishop’s blessing!”

The hall erupted in commotion once more. Lan Li watched the family feud with a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Olena's cane slammed heavily on the ground, the sound deafening, and everyone immediately fell silent.

The gaunt old woman's sharp eyes swept over everyone present. "We all know what's most important right now." She leaned forward slightly, gazing intently at Vera.

“Speak, child. What do you want? Oldtown, Highgarden, the finest manors and villas are all yours to choose from. As long as Margaery is rescued, there is nothing the Tyrell family cannot provide.”

The real show is coming!

Garland gave Vera an encouraging look, urging her to propose the terms they had agreed on the night before.

The hall was silent; everyone held their breath, waiting for Vera's answer.

To everyone's surprise, Vera slowly shook her head.
