The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Today is destined to be a long day for Green.

…………

Stretching out one's head is a sword, and shrinking one's head is also a sword. After Green left the Hand's Tower, he headed directly to Maegor's Tower to meet Queen Cersei.

Green entered Maegor's Tower and only passed through the hall. Before he could reach the stairs, he was blocked by the queen's maid.

The maid informed Green that Queen Cersei was resting and had no free time today.

Green raised an eyebrow slightly. Before coming here, Green secretly arranged for guards to look for James.

Although he couldn't persuade the willful Cersei, James could at least help Green block two swords.

Joffrey, Myrcella, Tommen... none of them found any trace of Jaime there, and there was no need to leave the Red Keep, so Jaime could only stay in Maegor's Tower.

…………

Maegor's Tower Gardens.

Green raised his eyes to the sky. It seemed that Cersei was destined to learn about what happened in the Prime Minister's Tower from other channels.

Most likely, Boss Cersei heard the news on her bed after her affair with Jaime.

How did Green know about Queen Cersei's habit?

Green is a person who pays attention to details. After a long period of contact and careful attention, he naturally mastered some secrets that are not known to ordinary people.

…………

When Cersei and Jaime are happy, Green's purpose is to create distance.

At this moment, the matter has reached this point, and the best situation is naturally that Queen Cersei learns what happened in the Prime Minister's Tower from Green's mouth.

However, in comparison, Green is even more unwilling to get close to the secrets of Cersei and Jaime. This matter is too big, and loyalty is not worth a bronze star here.

Now, those who are familiar with Green already know that he is a very perceptive person, including Jaime and Cersei.

Didn’t you see that the queen’s maids were already guarding the bottom stairs? If it were before... they would have had a really exciting time.

Trampling on worldly pleasures may stimulate physical and mental pleasure more, but the two of them retain a sense of reason.

This change not only protects against Green, but also people with keen senses like Green.

In order to explain to Queen Cersei as soon as possible, Green stayed on the stairs all the time, as he would be subject to unreasonable suspicion by sensitive people.

Green preferred to increase the difficulty and chose to leave Magor's Tower.

…………

One, two, three.

Green stood firmly in a place in the garden, and many of the maids and attendants belonging to Maggot Tower who passed by also spotted Green with a heavy face and a story to tell.

Could Boss Cersei mistakenly think that I no longer need her?

Will Boss Cersei really doubt Green's loyalty because of the golden dragon and status?

Note that the above is a scene that Green set up in his mind in order to make the expression on his face more touching.

Greene deliberately acted it out to nearby passers-by, among whom Queen Cersei's eyes and ears were hidden.

…………

Green, who was obsessed with acting, moved his ears and heard light footsteps.

Green turned his gaze away in time, and with a slight surprise, he touched his chest and said, "Good day, Princess Myrcella."

Myrcella Baratheon, who looked like a miniature version of Cersei in a blond hair and red dress, slightly raised her chin and said, "Good day, Earl Green."

The speed of message transmission in the Red Fort is indeed very fast!

Green nodded and thanked her. When he saw Princess Myrcella standing close to her, he naturally lowered his figure so that the two people's eyes could be balanced.

Green's decent behavior unknowingly improved Myrcella's favor.

Myrcella smiled and said to Green: "I happened to be nearby. My maid informed you that you were here, so I came over. Congratulations to you, Earl Green."

Myrcella's still childish voice made Green smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess, it is a great honor! You are the first lady to congratulate me, I will remember it in my heart!"

Myrcella nodded with her bright blue eyes.

Myrcella didn't have much contact with Green, but she had a very good impression of him.

Myrcella's pure heart makes it easier for her to detect unusual movements around her.

Limited by age and kindness, or some kind of talent, Myrcella regarded herself as a silent observer and never revealed it easily.

Myrcella's intuition told her that Green was a reliable knight.

Myrcella is sensitive, and she has long been aware of the secret "interaction" between Green and James.

The young Myrcella was surprised that her always steady Uncle James also had an unknown side.

He turned out to be such an uncle... Myrcella secretly laughed.

Myrcella, the little adult, thinks both James and Green are childish.

…………

Myrcella looked at Green with a pair of clear blue eyes and said, "Earl Green, I see that you are worried."

Hearing Myrcella's words, Green was slightly surprised: "Your Highness, your eyes are as bright as a torch."

Myrcella clasped her little hands and said, "If you are willing, you can talk to me. I will be a quiet listener."

If you want to use Myrcella, you may have unexpected effects... No, although Green jumps repeatedly, he is a person with a bottom line.

Green first touched his chest and thanked him: "I just suddenly shouldered a heavy responsibility and had no clue for a while, so I was worried."

Myrcella's childish voice encouraged: "Brave knight, fearless."

This time, Green was indeed comforted by Myrcella.

…………

At Green's suggestion, Green and Myrcella left Magart's Tower Garden and continued to teach Myrcella how to ride horses.

The Red Keep is too dark, and Greene also needs to cleanse his soul.

Nearing the evening, Green said goodbye to Princess Myrcella, who still had lingering feelings for her, and left the Red Castle.

Of course, after the dutiful Green said goodbye to Myrcella, he went to Maggot Tower again, but was still stopped by the maid at the bottom of the stairs.

It's been more than two hours... Green didn't think much.

…………

…………

In the evening, as soon as Green entered his new house in Hook Lane, he met the Leighton housekeeper who had been waiting for him.

Green dismounted, threw the reins to the retinue, Martial Baker, and looked at Leighton.

Leiden nodded and said, "My master, I have something important to report."

It was not the place to talk about important matters in front of the door. Green nodded his chin slightly, took steps, and said: "Leiden, follow me in."

…………

The small hall of Kleiber's new house.

Green had finished listening to what Layton had to say.

Dick Crabb?

Green raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and said, "Jeffrey is in charge of the Survey Corps in King's Landing, right?"

Layton nodded and said: "Yes, my master, he is still in the Queen's Quarter."

Green tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair and said: "In a few days, the Red Castle will send someone to take over the Queen's Quarter. After confirming the identity, they will hand it over as soon as possible. Foley will come back and continue to be my guard captain, Layton, you Help me handle my affairs here from now on."

The current Green camp is in a period of growth, and reliable clergy are most lacking.

It seems that Green has used iron-blooded means to control the situation in the Queen's District in a short time. However, people's livelihood and the military are two different things. As time goes by, the affairs in the Queen's District will become more and more complicated. Green does not have enough manpower and energy to continue to control the situation. The Queen's Quarter is in your own hands.

At present, Green's focus is still on the Kleb territory, which is Green's foundation.

"The gold robe can be bribed. You can arrange this directly. Then, let the Survey Corps take control of the man named Dickon... and lock him up in Kleb Manor outside King's Landing."

After a pause, Green added: "Before I go over, let the Survey Corps take care of that person in their own way, and remember not to beat him up."

Seeing that Green did not directly order the man to be eliminated, Leiden wondered, could it be the illegitimate son left by a member of the Kleb family?

…………

After Layton left, Green got up and left the small hall and came to the study.

What Green saw after entering the study were two hills, Samwell Tarly and Monton Water.

The two people stood up to greet each other at the same time. Green just waved, walked over and sat aside, and said, "Sam, have you been to Steel Street?"

Samwell smiled shyly: "Lord Green, Monton and I went there in the morning. I have seen the finished products of the mop blacksmith. Although he smells of alcohol, his skills are outstanding."

Green said generously: "Sam, I have left this matter to you. Don't let the golden dragon stand in the way. I hope you will make Menton the most ferocious warrior."

After the words fell, Samwell nodded solemnly towards Green.

Meng Dun said naively: "Lord Green, I will definitely fight bravely."

Green smiled and said: "Mengton, I believe you. Also, remember to pay attention to the weight of the armor. I don't want to see a heavy bear."

Mengton chuckled.

Green patted Mengton, raised his eyes and glanced at the bookshelf, and said to Sam: "Sam, I don't think the books here can satisfy you. I have already said hello to Manager Russell, and he will help you get the books you want. Books I want.”

Knights love armor, and Samwell loves books.

Samwell looked excited and scratched the back of his head sheepishly: "Lord Green, I can't repay you."

Green raised his face and smiled, and said: "Bachelor Al from Whispering City will definitely like you very much. You will meet soon."

After chatting with Samwell for a while, Green looked out the window and left the study with Menton.

…………

…………

As night fell, Green led Monton and other guards through half of King's Landing and arrived at Petyr's Shattaya Women's Branch.

The light shines through the windows of the women's branch, which looks particularly bright in the gradually dimming dusk, and music and various laughter spill out from inside.

Green was led into the house, listened to music with obscene lyrics, and watched various girls in skimpy blouses acting coquettishly with the guests as they walked through the crowded hall.

Green climbed the stairs and came to a room on the third floor.

Green looked around and thought to himself: It seems that this is an area not open to the public.

The door was pushed open, and Green saw Petyr with a smile on his face.

Petyr spread his hands: "Earl Green, congratulations again!"

Okay... Green smiled and spread his hands.

Green and Petyr hugged each other very intimately: "Lord Petyr, thank you again for your kindness,"

The two separated their bodies. Petyr patted Green's arm with one hand and extended his other hand inwards: "It's rare for us to get together. Please sit down."

After sitting down, Petyr raised the corners of his lips and said, "Earl Green, I have also prepared a small gift for you."

Green raised his eyebrows, took off his sword and put it aside.

The smile on Petyr's face gradually deepened, and he said to the maid on the side: "Go and bring the people in."

After a while, a woman who looked to be less than twenty years old was ushered in.

Brown hair, black eyes, appearance... average and slightly upward.

Green glanced at the slightly embarrassed woman and looked at Petyr in confusion.

Petyr raised his glass, gestured to Green, and took a sip of summer red.

"Her name is Shani. Of course, this is not her real name. What's interesting is that my men discovered that she has been secretly asking about you."

Green's eyes trembled slightly, he took a sip of summer red, leaned back on the chair, and said: "Let me think about it, Lord Petyr's gift will definitely not be that simple..."

Green paused, then turned to "Shanni" and said, "Ms. Shanni, are you doing this for Kleb?"

"By the way, this noble lord, who are you?"

Although "Shannie" still looked calm on the surface, the momentary tremor did not escape Green's eyes.

Petyr said with great interest: "Shannie, he is the Earl Greene Crabb you have been asking about."

Hearing the answer from Petyr's mouth, "Shanni"'s pupils shrank and she couldn't help but take a half step back.

Petyr ignored the others and said to Green: "Earl Green, are you satisfied with this gift?"

Green nodded and said: "Lord Petyr, thank you very much. I have been feeling like I'm walking on thin ice since this afternoon. You may have helped me get rid of a lot of trouble."

Petyr spread his hands and said, "Don't be so polite. I told you, we are already friends."

Green stroked his chest and said, "I have to ask you to do me one more favor and hand her over to the guard I left outside."

"Shannie" came back to her senses and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a sharp gaze.

"Shanni" looked at Petyr in horror, shrank back, and let the maids hold their arms and leave the room.

After the room door closed, Petyr raised his glass and said, "Tonight is a night of no return."

Green also raised his cup and said, "Lord Petyr, thank you for your enthusiasm. You calmed my mood."

Petyr took a sip of summer red, and his movements were very elegant: "Think of something happy. In three days at most, you can meet 150,000 gold dragons, Earl Green."

Green stopped drinking and said in confusion: "So fast? This is not a small amount, it is worthy of the kingdom's treasury."

Petyr sneered and said: "Where is the kingdom's treasury? It has been empty for several years. This is not a secret, and there are no secrets in the Red Keep."

Looking at the surprised Green, Petyr smiled and added: "King Robert loves martial arts competitions and delicacies from the mountains and seas. Although Targaryen left behind mountains of gold and silver treasures, he could not withstand His Majesty's squandering. . Duke Jon is indeed very calculating, but His Majesty cannot listen to wise advice."

Green suddenly said: "I regret it. I should ask your Majesty for more."

Petyr was slightly stunned, then immediately laughed out loud: "Maybe, you are right."

Green said with emotion: "Lord Petyr, it seems that it is not easy for the ministers of the throne, especially the minister of finance."

Petyr shrugged: "Haha, the king and prime minister only spend money, and the minister of finance is responsible for finding money. My main task now is to borrow money. Lannister, Golden Rose, Iron Bank, and some Tyrosh trading houses..." .They are all now creditors of the kingdom.”

As he spoke, there was a trace of ridicule in Petyr's smile: "Recently, I had to find another source of income, and finally I found the church. The Archbishop's bargaining skills amazed me. I think the fishmongers in Dorne None can compare to him."

Petyr's witty words made Green couldn't help but laugh again and again.
