Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Jealousy

  Five sea-fairing ships flying the purple grape flag slowly sailed into the pier of Eagle Island.

  Samwell looked at Natalie Dane who jumped down from the boat, and was wondering how she came here on the boat from Arbor Island, when he heard the little girl waving at him from a long distance and shouting:

  " Sam, come quickly! The two gentlemen from the Arbor Island said that we can take their boat to King's Landing."

  Samwell saw the two brothers Horas and Hobber standing at the bow of the boat, and waved his hands happily to thank them.

  However, what he didn't know was that Hopper at the bow was gritting his teeth and said to his brother:

  "Lady Natalie insists on bringing this guy Sam, damn it, do you think I should arrange him in the back of the boat?"

  Horas looked at the countess who was holding Samwell's arm affectionately, and nodded seriously:

  "Yes, otherwise you will not have any chance."

  The reason why the two brothers from Arbor Island came to Starfall so active this time was because they were ordered by Earl Paxter to invite Natalie to go with them.

  The purpose is obvious, it is to let Hobber and the countess get along well and see if they can collide the spark of love, that would be the best.

  Facing the young and beautiful countess with a rich dowry, Hobber naturally readily agreed, slapped his chest loudly in front of his father and said that he would definitely conquer Lady Natalie with his charm.

  To be honest, if Horas hadn't been the eldest son who would inherit the Arbor Island in the future, he wouldn't be able to help but compete with his younger brother at this moment.

  However, looking at the two people below with an intimate attitude, Horas suddenly gloated a little.

  Brother, you have a strong competitor this time.

  Of course Hobber was also aware of the crisis, and hurried down the gangway to meet Samwell and Natalie.

  "Sir Hopper, thank you so much this time!"

  "Haha, you're welcome. It just happened to be on the way." Hobber tried hard to maintain a smile on his face, but stopped Samwell when he was about to board the ship, and said, "I'm really sorry, Sam, this flagship Purple Grape is full, why don't you go to the ship behind?"

  "Okay." Samwell nodded cheerfully.

  Hobber was overjoyed, and quickly stretched out his hand to Natalie courteously:

  "Lady Natalie, please."

  Unexpectedly, Natalie shook her head: "In that case, I will go in the next ship."

  Hobber smile suddenly froze on his face.

  …

  In the end, both Samwell and Natalie boarded the flagship Purple Grape. It was found that the two Redwyne brothers suddenly discovered that there were extra rooms.

  After this farce, Samwell was naturally aware of the plans of the two brothers.

  It's no wonder that the two brothers came here to pick her up, because they planned to pick up girls.

  Of course, he couldn't let Hobber marry Natalie, otherwise, wouldn't the Starfall City that he had worked so hard to obtain be controlled by the Redwyne family.

  What's more, the little girl is not yet an adult.

  You gang of beasts!

  So after boarding the boat, he stayed by Natalie's side all the time, never giving the kid Hooper a chance.

  It just so happened that Natalie also liked to pester Samwell, the two talked and laughed, and were intimate, like a couple traveling, making Hobber like an 800-watt light bulb.

  "I can't take it anymore! Damn Samwell! I'm going to kill him!" In the small cabin room, Hobber turned around in anger.

  There was a disdainful smile on the corner of Horas mouth: "Hobber, haven't you always boasted that you are very popular with ladies? Why? You can't even compete with Samwell?"

  "He cheated!"Hobber roared angrily. "That brat discovered that female savage, and I'm afraid they had already done . How can I compete with him now? It's not fair at all!"

   Horas shrugged: "In that case, then you should just give up, and jump on father geet when we go back."

  "No! I won't give up!"

  "Don't give up?" Horas looked at his younger brother with red eyes. , frowned, "Hobber, don't do stupid things."

  Seeing his younger brother bowed his head and remained silent.

  Horas realized something, immediately got anxious, got up and said: "Hobber, you should think clearly, that man is now the Baron of Eagle Island, if something happens to him on our ship, Highgarden will not let us go ,don't talk about Horn Hill and Blackwater keep! Even father will not be able to save you then!"

  "I heard that there are pirates on the Step-stones Islands..."Hobber said quietly, "This is a reasonable way to let him disappear."

  "Bullshit reasonable! Do you think everyone else is stupid! Hobber, don't implicate me if you go crazy! I still want to inherit Arbor Island safely."

"I know, brother." Hobber nodded and seemed to have regained his composure, "I won't do anything stupid."

  "That's right." Horas put his arms around his brother's shoulders and comforted him, "It's just a woman. When we get to King's Landing, There are lot of noble ladies waiting for you to choose, so why compete with this wild woman from the red mountains."

.…..

"The Stepstones Islands?"

  The captain of the Purple Grape wondered, "Sir Hobber, If we go there, we will deviate from the main route, and I heard that a merchant ship encountered pirates in that area recently..."

"That's why we are going." Hopper said lightly, "is it not the duty of the Arbor Island Fleet to fight pirates."

  "But, sir, we only have five warships this time..."

  "Enough."

Hobber waved his hand confidently, "The Purple Grape is the flagship with 300 oars, and the other four are all warships with a hundred oars, so what kind of pirates can threaten us?"

  The captain also felt that he was a little too cautious. Since the Iron Islands, the largest gathering place of pirates in Westeros, was brutally suppressed seven years ago, those ironmen did not dare to come out to plunder wantonly. Although there are some pirates gathered in the sea area, it is said that they are all unworthy youngsters.

  "Okay, sir. I'll set on route , but the waters around the Step stones Islands are a bit rough so you have to be prepared." ... "

  "Damn it! Why are the waves suddenly so big? "

  The lamp flickered on and off, illuminating Horas face indistinctly. Under the pale yellow firelight, the eldest son of the Arbor Island staggered up from the bed.

  It was already late at night when Horas opened the hatch, but all he could see was darkness.

  He called out the servant's name loudly, but only got a thunderous response.

  After the thunder, the pouring rain swept down, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the deck densely, splashing a lot of water.

  The sea wind became more and more violent. Even if all the sails had been lowered, it still couldn't stop the ships from bumping and shaking in the wind and waves. In the face of the majesty of nature, they were extremely fragile.

  "The Step stones Islands? Why are we going to the Step stones Islands?" Horas found the captain and finally learned that the fleet had deviated from the main route. Frightened and furious, he immediately thought of his brother, "Damn it, Hobber !"

  Horas was about to order the fleet to return to the main route, but suddenly there was a bright light in front of him.

  It turned out that a bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky, almost lighting up the entire sea area as bright as day.

  Boom!

  A deafening thunder exploded in Horas ears, followed by another crash, as if something huge fell into the sea.

  Before Horas could recover, he heard someone yell in horror:

  "The mast is broken! The mast is broken!"
