Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web
#120 - Alchemist
Sansa left, satisfied and happy.
The people who had been serving in the palace returned to their positions, quietly awaiting the king's orders.
Joffrey lazily embraced the young girl beside him.
"Hanna, who made my dearest queen so sad? You take care of it."
Although he didn't intend to hide the matter of Daenerys, he still couldn't condone such shameful tattling.
Everyone should know that gossiping in the court will come at a price.
Hanna responded with a proper smile.
Jeyne Poole's cheeks were rosy, and her hands gently rested on Joffrey's shoulders, unsure whether to push him away or crave a more intimate affection.
Unlike previous occasions, this time she stayed in the king's palace, and Miss Sansa had seen it very clearly.
Despite having a legitimate excuse, Jeyne was still somewhat uneasy.
Although her vision was filled with the walls of the palace, Jeyne seemed to feel the scrutinizing gazes of everyone in the palace, as if questioning her identity and purpose.
Am I betraying Miss Sansa?
"Your Majesty, it's noon already, let Jeyne serve you lunch."
Jeyne came up with a reason, trying to escape this overwhelming situation and allow herself a moment to breathe.
Joffrey playfully twirled the young girl's black hair with interest, "Your hair is beautiful."
Jeyne's attempt failed.
The king never acted according to common sense.
She remembered their first kiss, forceful and domineering, yet it made her whole body go weak, unable to muster any resistance.
Jeyne had fantasized countless times about her future husband.
He might be a clever and steady servant, who relied on his own efforts and loyalty to serve his lord, gradually gaining importance and earning people's respect, just like her father, who was the steward of Winterfell.
He might be a brave knight, invincible on the battlefield, and also able to protect the weak with integrity, even owning a village and a small castle.
More fortunately, he might be a nobleman of high birth, the second son of a family in the North or the Riverlands, meeting and falling in love at a banquet, and finally overcoming many obstacles to enter the halls of marriage.
Jeyne didn't dare to fantasize any further.
After all, she was just the daughter of a steward, of humble origin, and she could only marry someone suitable in the future, at most relying on her looks and brains to climb one level higher.
But all of this was completely ended after the king's kiss.
Based on her limited understanding of King Joffrey, Jeyne understood that she could no longer marry anyone else.
Knights, servants, lords, all these futures had been shattered.
The king's willfulness was never concealed, and he would not allow anyone to take away what he wanted.
Jeyne knew she had become one of them.
She had thought about confessing to Sansa.
But Sansa was already engaged to the king, and had confided in her countless times about her feelings for the king and her dreams for the future.
If she confessed, it was impossible for Sansa to be completely unaffected, and the king would soon find out.
What would happen then?
Jeyne couldn't imagine all the changes, but she knew very well that it wouldn't be good for Sansa, or for herself.
Then she could only try her best to hide this secret.
Jeyne had a secret that she had to keep from Sansa for the first time.
The king seemed to enjoy this feeling, sometimes deliberately being affectionate with her near Sansa, but without ever piercing through the veil.
Jeyne didn't dare to resist, she could only half-heartedly comply.
She couldn't sleep for nights on end because of it.
She worried about the terrible reaction Sansa might have if she found out, and she also silently weighed her own balance in her heart.
Her father was still the steward of Winterfell, and had returned to the North with Lord Eddard.
Miss Sansa was very kind to her, and the two were best friends, talking about everything.
Winterfell was also her home for more than ten years.
She clearly remembered those beautiful memories, familiar faces, remembered every tower and every hot spring in Winterfell, and also remembered the crimson face on the heart tree in the Godswood.
The balance initially leaned completely towards Winterfell.
But as time went by, Jeyne noticed with panic and confusion that the balance was gradually shifting towards the Red Keep.
After all, Sansa and she were already in the Red Keep, and life in Winterfell had become an unchanging past, and their future lives would be spent in the southern court.
Sansa had more playmates and friends.
Jeyne's role by Sansa's side was slowly fading, so much so that she had enough free time to respond to the king's summons.
Before, she and Sansa were inseparable, and they often slept in the same room.
Jeyne's position was gradually becoming blurred.
As the steward's daughter and Sansa's best friend, she didn't need to do the hardest and most laborious work, she just needed to accompany Sansa usually.
But what if Sansa didn't need companionship anymore?
Suddenly having a lot of free time, Jeyne really didn't know what to do.
She just wanted to continue following Sansa, even if it was just to say a few more words, or even just to watch Sansa embroider.
But the noble ladies and maids of the Red Keep surrounded Sansa all day long.
Their sweet words sounded more heartfelt, and Sansa was completely immersed in these activities such as dancing, poetry, and music.
Jeyne was often forgotten by them.
At this time, she actually vaguely began to look forward to the king's summons.
At least, there were fewer people near the king, and she could also occupy a position next to him, watching the king do this and that, and it wasn't much different from her previous life.
Because of these things, am I betraying Sansa?
Jeyne asked herself again.
Daenerys's matter seemed to be the king's fault, and Sansa's reaction seemed reasonable.
But she was speaking good words for the king, both openly and secretly, not out of concern for Sansa, but out of obedience to the king's orders.
Jeyne turned her head slightly and looked at Daenerys, who was sitting not far away.
She seemed to feel Daenerys's feelings, which were similar to her own, making choices that she had never imagined before for the sake of many things.
At least, Sansa is happy now.
Jeyne felt that she had made the right choice.
It was not betrayal, but a benevolent lie.
How many noble lords can remain loyal to their wives forever?
Not to mention the king of the Seven Kingdoms.
This was an unavoidable fact.
Sansa is not old enough to accept this kind of thing, I am protecting her.
Jeyne convinced herself.
Moreover, the king also has such a major mission and responsibility.
He must put down Renly's rebellion, stop the Long Night, and unite the people of the world together.
The king said that Aegon the Conqueror married two wives, had three dragons, and only conquered six kingdoms.
For the sake of the whole world, three dragons are far from enough, and two wives are far from enough.
Listening to the heartbeat in the king's chest, Jeyne silently thought about her future.
Queen Jeyne Poole.
That way, she can be with Sansa forever, right?
Jeyne lowered her hands, released all restraints and shame, and merged into the king's embrace.
Joffrey's thoughts had returned to business.
On the table in front of him were two reports of different styles.
One was written on paper with ink, and the other was displayed magically on a palm-sized piece of glass, that is, his unique mobile phone "Xiao Bai".
He also designed a God's Grace Light Screen for himself, but not many people were qualified to disturb him on the God's Grace Light Screen.
Most of the reports would be stored in "Xiao Bai" for him to process centrally when he had time.
Expense settlement, task progress, data reports, and requests for instructions, Joffrey was already skilled in approving them.
Until a report with novel content.
Joffrey looked at the signature at the end, the president of the Alchemist Guild, Harren.
