Chapter 488 Storm's End Civil War
The black-haired boy in armor originally had a mocking smile on his face, but after hearing Stannis say this, the last smile on his face disappeared, leaving only anger.
However, before Renly opened his mouth to refute, Stannis continued.
"And, Renly, you know what you're doing. It's not that I want to kill you, it's that you want to kill me now!"
"I received news that the son of the mad king wrote you a secret letter. What was written on it? If you have a clear conscience, you might as well take it out and let all the adults take a look."
Stannis said with a sneer on his face, holding the hilt in his hand.
"what?"
"Is there such a thing?"
As Stannis's voice came out, all the Stormland nobles and guards present looked at each other in dismay, and then focused their eyes on Renly.
Viserys wrote a secret letter to Renly?
Why did he write to Renly?
What will the letter say?
Why did Lord Renly never mention it?
"Yes, Viserys wrote a secret letter to Lord Renly. If the content on it can be seen, why dare not publish it?"
Some nobles who stood on Stannis' side immediately agreed, while more Stormland nobles and even those who were loyal to Renly nodded slightly.
Why didn't they gather at Storm's End to unite against the pressure of Viserys?
Whether it is a war or a peace, the war is fought to the end to defend the dignity and honor of the nobles, and the peace is united to negotiate with Viserys.
Ask him to ensure respect for the rights of the traditional aristocracy, and never allow any lowly born mud-legged child to have the opportunity to be called an "adult" with them in the future.
However, now that Renly and Viserys have secretly made contact in private, how can these nobles be betrayed by their own monarchs?
When Renly heard Stannis's words, his face changed slightly, and then he heard the echoes of some nobles, and a strong sense of shame and anger suddenly flooded his heart.
As King of Stormlands, Duke of Storm's End, what qualifications do these people have to order him to hand over his personal letters? Isn't this a great shame.
At the same time, Renly also had a faint sense of foreboding. He seemed to sense that Viserys' intentions were sinister...
But Renly was about to open his mouth to deny the existence of the letter, but after thinking about it, he put the envelope in the study behind him before he could deal with it.
So Ren Li could only hold back his breath for a while, holding the hilt tightly, and admitting with a flushed face.
"Yes, Viserys did write me a letter."
"But there is no content in this letter, just a blank piece of paper!"
However, it is a pity that Renly's swallowing did not exchange for Stannis' tolerance. He was extremely vengeful and was never good at forgiving others. Instead, he took a step closer and walked to Renly with his hand on the hilt.
A pair of eyes looked at his younger brother coldly, until Ren Li's eyes were slightly erratic, and then he spoke calmly.
"You're still the same, Renly."
"what?"
And Ren Li was a little flustered by his brother's gaze, and his eyes drifted slightly involuntarily.
In fact, since he was a child, he didn't like his second brother. His eldest brother, Robert, had a bold personality and often went out to play with Renly.
And his second brother, Stannis, had a straight face every day, and even threw all the beautiful stones he collected at the seaside, which once became the shadow of Renly's childhood.
"It's just that when you lie, your eyes wander."
And Stannis said suddenly at this moment.
"You've been like this since you were young. Your father and mother died very early, and they didn't have time to care about you before they died."
"Every time you do something wrong, Robert is busy with those bitches and drinking and doesn't care about you, but I'm the only one who's been chasing you, afraid you're going down a bad road."
"But I didn't expect that after I went to Longshi Island for a few years, you neglected discipline and went down the wrong path."
Stannis's voice was regretful, his eyes were staring at Renly, his eyes were indifferent, as if he never knew what happiness was, and then he raised his voice and roared in a low voice.
"Do you think me and all of you adults are fools?!"
"Viserys gave you a blank sheet of paper in the envelope?"
Renly, who was suddenly attacked by Stannis, was a little caught off guard, and he subconsciously bowed his head in the face of his brother.
However, Renly is no longer the little kid who was disciplined by Stannis. He is now fifteen years old and is in a period of rebellion. Renly was reprimanded by Stannis, and suddenly he was furious and loudly retorted. road.
"I did not lie!"
"Viserys just put a piece of white paper in the envelope for me, and now that piece of paper is still in the study, if you don't believe me, go in and take a look!"
But unfortunately, no one believed what Renly said. There were so many blank papers in the study that Renly could just take out a piece of paper and say that this was a letter from Viserys.
His remarks made even the nobles who were loyal to Renly look suspicious.
Viserys has nothing to do and stuff a blank sheet of paper into the envelope?
This kind of thing can deceive a child of fifteen or sixteen years old.
However, Renly saw the increasing number of suspicious eyes around him, and also knew that something was wrong.
If you let things continue to develop, I am afraid that you have not waited for yourself to resist, and the rest of the people will defect, and then you will be in danger.
Clang——
So Ren Li was rarely decisive, and immediately pulled out the long sword from his waist and pointed it at his second brother.
"Stannis turned black and white, trying to kill me to take Storm's End, take him!"
Renly gave the order. Although the nobles had doubts on their faces, they still served Renly's side after all. They hesitated for a while, while the guards who were loyal to Renly would not hesitate.
They didn't care about letters or bullshit among nobles, they were only loyal to their masters, and since Renly ordered them to go up and capture Stannis.
The number of people on Stannis' side was small, only four or five guards, but he was not afraid and immediately pulled out the long sword from his waist.
"kill him!"
"kill!"
clang clang-
The two sides suddenly broke out in a fierce battle in Storm's End.
And those nobles who were hesitant saw this scene and knew that they could not stand idly by and must stand in line at this time.
So they all chose to join one of the two Baratheon brothers, pulled out their long swords and joined the battle.
Not far away, reinforcements from Stannis also arrived.
Davos, the Onion Knight, gathered the guards, who have been observing the turmoil here, and found that the two sides were fighting, so he quickly led the guards to join the battle.
The forces on both sides are evenly matched.
