House of Order dungeon.

Four thick iron chains hang down from Dome, locking four bronze-skinned women respectively.

Obaya was sitting in the corner with her hands tied behind her back by chains. The wounds on her arms had scabbed over, but the expression on her face was uglier than the wounds.

Namei Lia sat quietly. Even as a prisoner, her posture was still elegant, but her gentle eyes had a little more complicated emotions.

Tyene lay on the ground like a dead fish, her side still hurting, and the hound's sword hit her almost vomiting out her internal organs.

Only Sarella was huddled in the corner, sobbing quietly.

"Sister...

Her voice was weak. "Did we really make a mistake?"

Obaya didn't answer.

Sarella asked again, "That Corleone... did he really save his father?"

Obaya still didn't answer.

Sarella still refused to give up. "Then we killed the wrong person?

Obaya simply closed her eyes.

Sarella:"

Na Mei Lia on the side sighed softly, "Can you stop talking, Sarella."

Sarella pouted aggrievedly. "I just want to confirm...

"Confirm what?" At this time, Obaya finally opened her eyes, her tone full of irritation. "Everyone has been killed, and you still need to confirm!"

Sarella was choked to the point of being speechless and sobbing louder.

The warehouse fell into silence again.

After a while, Obaya took a deep breath and lowered her voice and said, "We can't just stay like this."

The third child, Terene, who was lying weakly on the ground, suddenly brightened up and raised her head. "Sister, what do you want to do?"

Obaya glanced at the three sisters, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

"Jailbreak!"

"What?" Tyene's eyes widened.

"This is House of Order's dungeon. There are countless guards outside. That Corleone is so powerful, how can we escape?"

Hearing this, Obaya sneered, "What are you afraid of? We are Sand Snakes."

"Besides, do you want father to see us like this?"

As soon as these words came out, except for the youngest sister Sarella, the two Sand Snakes nodded one after another, thinking it made sense.

After all, if it is true as Corleone said, then they have basically made a very big mistake. When the father wakes up and hears the news, he may not know how to scold them!

"What happens after we run out?" Tyene asked.

Hearing this, Obaya grinned, as if she had already thought about it, "Find a place to hide first, and then return to Dorne with my father after he recovers from his injury!"

This idea is obviously "very good", even the most rational Namei Lia nodded. "Sister is right, we can't stay here, it's too embarrassing!"

Triene also echoed, "Yes, it's so embarrassing."

Only Sarella looked around at the three sisters and raised his hands weakly. "Well... I don't think this is good...

But maybe her voice was too soft and no one paid any attention to her.

The three of them talked to each other and began to discuss the escape plan. However, due to the sudden incident, they could not reach a consensus for a while.

Obaya proposed to fight out, but Name Lia thought that she should seduce a guard, then poison him and escape quietly with the key. Tyene was wavering between the two sisters.

Only Sarella's eyes were full of worry, watching the three sisters arguing more and more fiercely.

Just then...

Squeak~~~

The dungeon door opened.

A ray of light shines in from outside the door, casting a long strip of light on the ground.

The four sand snakes closed their mouths at the same time and stared at the door warily.

A figure walked in.

Young, slender, with long maroon hair that glowed softly under the firelight.

She was wearing a simple gray dress with a belt around her waist, and she was holding a rattan basket in her hand, with several dirty guard uniforms piled inside.

Seeing this, Triene's eyes suddenly lit up.

It's her!

The girl at Laundry Alley!

She clearly remembered that this girl was pointed at and scolded as "cold-blooded" by her, but later she used her wages to compensate Laila. She was definitely a good person!

At first glance, she looks like a very innocent and easy-to-deceive girl!

Sansa didn't seem to notice anything unusual about the Sand Snakes. She just lowered her head and walked straight to the corner where the dirty clothes were piled.

She emptied the basket of dirty clothes and began to put new dirty clothes in the basket.

His movements were skillful and his expression was focused, as if he didn't even notice the four big living people locked in the corner.

Tyene couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hey!" she shouted in a low voice.

Sansa raised her head and looked at her.

Those blue eyes were as clear as water and looked particularly bright in the dim firelight.

"You called me?" Sansa's voice was very soft, with a hint of doubt.

Tyene forced out what she thought was the friendliest smile.

"It's me! Don't you remember me?"

"That day you had a fight with Laila, and I even helped you talk!"

Hearing this, Sansa frowned slightly, as if she was remembering.

Then, she nodded. "I remember you. You are the one... who scolded me along with Laila."

Hearing this, Triene's smile froze, looking a little embarrassed.

"I'm not scolding you!" She quickly explained, "I thought you were bullying Laila, so...

"That's why you scolded me." Sansa took over with a calm tone.

Tyene:".

Why doesn't this girl get enough oil and salt?

But she didn't give up. She continued to put on a smile and said, "Well... your name is Sansa, right? I remember you. You are in charge of those washerwomen at Laundry Alley!"

This time Sansa did not refuse the man, but nodded.

"That's great!" Trine's eyes lit up. "Look, we are friends now. Can you do us a little favor?"

Sansa tilted her head, a trace of curiosity appearing on her face.

"What are you busy with?"

Triene was delighted, there was something going on!

She lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Can you... help us open the lock?"

Sansa frowned. "You want to escape from prison?"

"No! It's not a jailbreak!" Trine quickly explained, "It's just... just open the lock, we have something to do..."

"What's the matter?"

"Uh...

Trine's mind was spinning rapidly. When she saw Sarella next to her, her eyes lit up. She pulled her over and cried, "My sister is going to get married in a week, but now she is locked up here and can't get out. What will she do if she can't attend the wedding? Wuwuwu."

As he said that, he saw Sarella looking stupidly confused and grabbed her arm.

Sarella only then came to his senses and quickly cried with his sister.

Seeing this, Sansa just watched their performance without saying a word.

Triene felt frightened at the sight, but she still managed to hold on to a smile.

"Look, we are all girls, we should help each other, right?"

"Just help us. As long as we go back to attend the wedding, I promise to bring them back with me. That guy named Corleone can lock us up as long as he wants!"

Hearing this, Sansa was silent for a few seconds.

"What's your name?"

Triene was stunned for a moment and quickly replied, "Teene! My name is Triene!"

Sansa nodded. "I remember you were at Laundry Alley that day, and you kept speaking for Laila. It seems that you are a good person, Tyene."

Hearing this, Triene quickly nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes! I am a good person! A very good kind!"

After thinking for a moment, Sansa looked at her, the corners of her mouth curved slightly.

"Okay."

Triene's eyes widened. "You agreed?!"

"Yeah." Sansa nodded, put the basket down, walked to Tyene, and looked down at the chain on her wrist. "This lock... I don't have the key."

As soon as these words came out, Triene's heart suddenly went cold.

But Sansa continued, "But the captain of the watch is up there, and he has all the keys."

"I help him deliver clothes every day. He is very kind to me. I will go and ask him to lend me the key to unlock the door for you."

"But the guards here are very tight. Even if you leave the prison, you can't escape House of Order."

"Hmm..." Sansa nodded her chin, as if she was thinking about something, "Let's do this!"

"I'll take you to see the person in charge here. He has a good relationship with me. He will definitely be able to take you out of House of Order safely!"

As soon as these words came out, Tyene almost jumped with excitement. If she hadn't been chained, she would have wanted to hug Sansa and give her a kiss.

"That's great! Thank you! Thank you!"

Then he turned to look at his sisters and winked.

A trace of suspicion flashed in Obaya's eyes, but looking at Tyene's confident look, she didn't say anything.

Not long after, Sansa returned from the prison.

He came to a few people, took out a bunch of keys from his waist, and opened everyone's shackles.

"Come on," Sansa whispered. "Follow me."

She picked up the basket and walked towards the dungeon door.

The four sand snakes looked at each other and followed.

Sarella walked at the end, with his head lowered and not saying a word.

Within House of Order.

Sansa led them through a long corridor, up a flight of stairs, and around a few more turns.

Tyene looked around as she walked, secretly taking note of the route.

This House of Order is so big!

If I could escape successfully, I might be able to sneak in again and save my father later.

She was thinking happily when Sansa suddenly stopped.

"Arrived."

Triene looked up and was stunned.

In front of you is a heavy oak door. There is no sign on the door panel, but at first glance, it is not an ordinary place.

"Is this..." she asked.

"This is the steward's office," Sansa said softly. "He's waiting for you in there."

As he spoke, he opened the door and stepped aside.

Tyene couldn't wait to step inside.

Then, her whole body froze.

The room is very wide.

Three walls were filled with bookshelves reaching to the ceiling, filled with books and scrolls. The fourth wall was a row of windows. The moonlight shone in from the windows, casting mottled light and shadow on the floor.

In the center of the room is a huge Oak Desk.

Behind the desk, there is a person sitting.

He was wearing a dark gray robe, leaning back in a chair with a relaxed posture, holding a cup of steaming tea in his hand.

On his knees, curled up, was a black long-haired cat, snoring with squinted eyes.

The moonlight shone in through the window and fell on him, shrouding half of his face in shadow.

Those dark eyes looked calmly at the four dumbfounded Sand Snakes at the door.

Only Sarella stood at the back and sighed softly.

"I said, this is not good...

But her voice was very quiet, so quiet that no one could hear her.

Corleone put down the tea cup, and the Black Cat raised its head and glanced at the sand snakes, then lay down and continued to sleep.

"Welcome."

His voice was calm, with a faint smile, and he pointed to the chairs opposite the desk.

"Sit down."

"Although I don't seem to have invited you."

Hearing this, Tyene turned her head stiffly and looked at Sansa.

I saw the red-haired Maiden standing at the door, the moonlight shining on her, with a gentle smile on her delicate face.

That smile is exactly the same as before at Laundry Alley.

But this time, Tyene finally understood the meaning behind that smile.

"You...

Tyene pointed at Sansa, her fingers trembling.

"You lied to us!!"

Hearing this, Sansa tilted her head slightly, a hint of playfulness flashed in her blue eyes.

"I lied to you? No."

"I just brought you to find the person in charge. There is no one here who can manage things better than him."

"Right, my lord?"

Hearing this, Corleone raised the corners of his mouth slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Yes.

Bang!

Tyene's mind was still buzzing, but Obaya was already moving.

Her body was like an enraged female leopard, rushing towards the slender figure at the door!

Sansa Stark stood by the door, her blue eyes reflecting Obara's rapidly enlarging figure.

She didn't move.

Didn't even blink.

At the moment when Obaya's hand was only three inches away from her throat, a voice sounded.

Very weak, but enough to reach the ears of every sand snake.

"You are going to... do it in front of me."

"Really?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Obaya's hands froze in mid-air, and her body seemed to be frozen, motionless.

Several sand snakes immediately turned their heads and looked around, seeing a large armchair quietly placed in a corner where the moonlight could not reach.

There is a man sitting on the chair.

His whole body was covered with white gauze, from his neck to his ankles, revealing only a pale and thin face.

Those dark eyes were looking at them quietly.

Obaya's hand slowly lowered.

Her lips trembled, and a sob escaped her throat.

"Father!"

As the words fell, the four sand snakes rushed over almost at the same time and knelt down in front of the armchair.

"Father! You're awake!"

"How are you!"

"We are so worried about you!"

"Father... wuwuwu...

Oberyn Martell looked at the four daughters crying together in front of him, with no expression on his pale face.

There was not even a hint of joy in the reunion in his eyes.

He just looked at them, his black eyes filled with extremely complicated emotions.

"Your mother...

His voice was very soft, with a hint of hoarseness. "Dead."

Hearing this, the voices of the four sand snakes stopped suddenly. As the eldest sister, Obaya raised her head, her eyes full of hatred. "We know, father!"

"Ellaria Mother... we heard."

Triene gritted her teeth and asked viciously, "Who did it, father?"

Oberyn looked at them, but did not answer directly. He just repeated, "This revenge... must be avenged."

"That's right!"

Tyene grabbed his arm excitedly. "You tell us who it is! We'll kill him now!"

"Yes!" Obaya gritted her teeth. "No matter who he is, the Sand Snakes will definitely make him pay the price!"

Oberyn glanced over the faces of the four daughters one by one, and seeing their indignant looks, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.

"Revenge must be avenged, but you must know who is the culprit."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked to the other side of the room.

Corleone was sitting behind the desk. The Black Cat woke up at some point and was squatting on his knees, looking here with its amber eyes.

The two people's eyes met, Corleone nodded slightly and pulled the rope beside him.

Not long after, the door opened.

Rorge walked in, followed by two Black Hand Mafia members, escorting a man who was covered in injuries and could barely stand.

His face was bruised and bruised, his left eye was so swollen that he couldn't open it, there was dried blood on the corner of his mouth, and he was walking with a limp. It was obvious that he had been suffering a lot these days.

Guerin.

The guy who was caught by a hunting dog and almost had his head crushed on the spot.

After being escorted to the center of the room, as soon as the two Black Hand Mafia members let go, he collapsed on the ground, like a puddle of mud.

The eyes of the Sand Snakes fell on him at the same time, but their eyes were full of confusion.

Because they all know this person, but they know why the other person becomes such a miserable look.

Only Namei Lia stared at Galin's face that was beaten beyond recognition, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and she stood back half a step.

"This person...

Oberyn's voice sounded, weak but clear. "He is one of the assassins who assassinated me."

"What!!!"

Tyene stood up abruptly, her eyes instantly burning with anger.

"That's him?!"

She rushed forward, grabbed Galin's collar, and lifted him up from the ground.

"You fucking dare to assassinate my father, I'll kill you!"

Her fist was raised, but Oberyn's voice stopped her.

"Teene."

"Put him down."

Hearing this, Tyene gritted her teeth and let go unwillingly, and Garin fell back to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Oberyn looked at Corleone again.

Corleone didn't say any nonsense, just nodded slightly, and then told Gaelin who was lying limply on the ground, "Tell them what you said to me before."

Hearing this, Galin lay on the ground and trembled all over.

He raised his head, glanced at the four women in front of him with the eye that could still be opened, and then quickly lowered his head, his eyes full of fear.

"I said... I...

Under everyone's gaze, Galin took a deep breath, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and yelled out the name hoarsely.

"Yes..

"Princess Arianne!"
