Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 207 Littlefinger's Mission

They longed for a slaughter.

The "Kingslayer" knew it in his heart: a slaughter as bloody and forgiving as countless battles of the past.

He had experienced them.

Conscripted soldiers died in droves, painting grand, exhilarating chapters of war with flesh, wails, and souls.

Knights in well-made armor rode invincible on tall warhorses. Unlike common soldiers, they would die in glorious duels, at the hands of equal enemy generals, or surrender or be surrendered to with honor.

Most would die, a small number would survive.

This was the result that those who spoke so eagerly truly wanted in their hearts.

Jaime himself had once been accustomed to and indulged in this, and did not feel anything was wrong. War was like this, people always had to die, and dying in battle was not a bad end.

But, Joffrey said he would "forgive."

Jaime Lannister already understood what this word meant.

Just the opposite.

Those who should have died in batches in the war, Joffrey would "forgive" them. And the lords and knights who should have been in the safest position were not accepted by the king.

The vast majority would live, and very, very few would die, so few that even abandoning corpses in the wilderness would never cause a plague.

Of course, these corpses of the distinguished and honored in life would be treated with luxurious coffins.

The warlocks accompanying the army would ensure that there were enough coffins.

It's just that I don't know when the time comes, who will mourn for them, who will avenge them?

And, who killed them?

Several faces flashed through the "Kingslayer's" mind in an instant: Joffrey's arrogant smile, his father's stern gaze, Cersei's haughty eyes.

He finally looked at the "Blackfish" in the light curtain.

"Blackfish" Brynden Tully, brother of Duke Hoster Tully, Knight of the Bloody Gate of the Vale.

"Blackfish" was weathered and calm.

"Blackfish" was the common opinion leader of these Vale and Riverlands cavalrymen.

It shouldn't have been him.

Lysa Tully refused to send a stronger figure, and the Tully family of the Riverlands hid the heir to Riverrun.

"Blackfish" was the only one from a ducal family.

Although some other earls and knights came, in terms of prestige and power, there was really no one more suitable than "Blackfish".

Jaime Lannister was not disappointed.

He and "Blackfish" used to talk about everything. He understood this knight, Brynden Tully was a true warrior and general, and it was very reassuring to send him to battle.

As long as "Blackfish" was on his side.

Was he?

The "Kingslayer" sized up "Blackfish".

This face was angular, under the messy, stiff gray hair was a face that was older and more weathered than before, with deep lines chiseled into it.

But the charm within was still there.

It reminded Jaime of the great knight who had captivated young squires with the story of the Ninepenny Kings.

When the "Kingslayer" had not yet obtained this title, and was not even a knight, his father led him to Riverrun to visit, and dined with two generations of the Tully family for many days.

Jaime was arranged to be beside Lysa.

At that time, Lysa was still very delicate, not as neurotic as she was now, and could be regarded as a pitiful beauty.

But the young squire Jaime only paid attention to the "Blackfish" who had made a great name for himself in the War of the Ninepenny Kings, and persistently asked about various exciting stories of courage.

"Blackfish" was also willing to satisfy his curiosity.

Until he left Riverrun, Jaime was still immersed in those passionate stories, full of joy, as if he had made friends with his idol.

What an innocent young man.

He always held unrealistic fantasies, dreaming of all the good things.

Jaime belatedly realized the purpose of this trip. His father wanted to reach a marriage contract between him and Lysa Tully.

After understanding this, Jaime was even more fortunate in his heart.

Whether it was for Cersei, or simply for personal preference, Lysa was obviously not to his liking. Even the initial little girl Lysa.

Squire Jaime only had his sister and honor in his heart.

So, when the "Mad King" wanted him to be a glorious Kingsguard, when Cersei wanted him to stay in King's Landing, to stay by her side, Jaime did not even think about what terrible reaction his father would have, and agreed without hesitation.

His father was indeed furious, and resigned from the position of "Hand of the King" and returned to Casterly Rock.

The "Mad King" also began to reveal his true colors.

Some say: Whenever a Targaryen is born, the gods toss a coin into the air, choosing madness or greatness.

If this was the case, then "Mad King" Aerys II undoubtedly received the coin of madness.

The "Mad King" was so obsessed with wildfire and relied on spies. Any action in the Red Keep that did not suit the king's wishes could lead to great disaster. Burning, trial by combat, or the black cells, no one could survive any of the punishments.

Ser Jaime of the White Cloak personally saw the "Mad King" torture the pitiful queen, but could only dutifully protect her in silence.

The throne room was just a execution ground for the "Mad King".

Countless lives died in pain under the Iron Throne.

Here, fire scorched Lord Rickard Stark of the North, while Stark's son Brandon watched with a noose around his neck.

Brandon struggled desperately, the noose became tighter and tighter, and finally died one step ahead of Duke Rickard.

Later, someone finally raised the flag of rebellion.

The Targaryens were about to be destroyed, but the "Mad King" still refused to let go, and even wanted to use wildfire to bury the entire King's Landing with him!

Ser Jaime in golden armor killed him.

Eddard Stark looked at him with that kind of look! As if he had immediately judged him to be deeply sinful!

The people of King's Landing all called him "Kingslayer"!

Heh! I saved all of your lives! Is this how you repay your benefactor?

But just like Eddard Stark, no one was willing to listen to his explanation. The pride of the lion also made him disdain to explain too much.

Let them say what they want!

So people obediently did so.

The name "Kingslayer" became more and more resounding. Robert Baratheon often called him that to his face. Others whispered, or inadvertently revealed it.

Fortunately, "Blackfish" had not called him "Kingslayer".

Jaime Lannister looked at "Blackfish", understood that he had to act like this, and couldn't help but feel complicated.

Betrayal, conspiracy, framing.

Ha, it really seems like something a Kingslayer would do.

The "Kingslayer" had no choice.

Ding~

Littlefinger heard the prompt sound in the light curtain.

The great Ser Jaime Lannister finally couldn't help but send him a signal.

"Blackfish".

This was also an old acquaintance.

Littlefinger looked at Brynden Tully in the light curtain. The elderly Knight of the Bloody Gate was wearing chainmail and leather armor. As always, his cloak was fastened with a black obsidian brooch in the shape of a black fish.

Except for the wrinkles, it was almost exactly the same as the last time he saw him in Riverrun.

But the world had changed dramatically.

Littlefinger spoke in the light curtain, "Ser Brynden, if you would, please talk about your views on combat?"

He decided to integrate his mission into the battle.
