Davos, with the aid of several co-conspirators, returns to his smuggling ways. When he comes clean to King Stannis and Melisandre they are really angry. Stannis prepares to take more than just a few fingers from Davos. However, Davos has what he hopes is an ace up his sleeve. Mackelly and Simon sure hope Davos knows what he’s doing.
Chapter Review:
Davos Seaworth, and several trustworthy king’s men, enter Maester Pylos’ chambers. They ask for Edric Storm, and the maester tells Edric to listen to the King’s Hand. The men take Edric to a boat. The boy tries to be brave but it becomes clear he’s nervous and uncertain. Davos persuades him to get on the boat and Edric’s cousin Andrew Estermont and several other men accompany Edric.
Davos makes his way to the Painted Table to wait for Stannis and confess his treachery. When Stannis and Melisandre arrive they are arguing about whether Joffrey Baratheon is indeed dead. Melisandre saw it in her flames, but Stannis doesn’t trust the accuracy of the flames. Davos confirms Melisandre’s story. He’s been told that Joffrey died during his wedding feast. With that, Melisandre feels the case has been proven for her work with Edric’s blood and asks for the rest of the boy to wake the stone dragons and win Stannis his throne.
Davos explains why that’s not possible. Stannis is extremely disappointed with his Hand. Davos explains that, as Hand, it is his job to help the king protect his people. Edric is one of the king’s people. When Stannis draws Lightbringer, Davos explains that he’s learned to read and begins to read a letter. He hopes it’ll be enough to save his life.
