Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

“It's finally coming.”

Commander 'Hound' of the Kingsguard was eager to try.

“Your Majesty, the Kingsguard's three thousand Holy Warriors and seven thousand soldiers are ready. Whether it's defending the city or fighting, there will be absolutely no problem!”

Minister of the Army, 'Kingslayer', continued, “The families under the King's Landing have all sent troops in response to the summons. Including the new recruits in the city, the Ministry of the Army has two thousand Holy Warriors and ten thousand soldiers.

In addition, more than six thousand people belonging to the Statistics Bureau, Security Bureau, and Kingsguard are undergoing training.

All personnel can be dispatched for combat.”

Speaking of this, Jaime Lannister couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

He painstakingly, together with carefully selected instructors, managed to train so many soldiers, but the majority of them went to others.

Especially the Hound's Kingsguard.

What Kingsguard? They are just lazy, useless gold cloaks and paupers who can't even get enough to eat. They completely relied on the strict training of the Ministry of the Army to transform into true warriors, but in the end, the Hound got all the credit.

And the number of Holy Warriors under the Hound is actually more than that of the Ministry of the Army.

A full thousand more.

Jaime would gladly exchange ten thousand ordinary soldiers for the Hound's one thousand Holy Warriors.

Unfortunately, it can't be done.

Jaime knew why.

The Hound is Joffrey's dog, and so is the Kingsguard. But he is not.

“Kingslayer,” the last king who trusted the “Kingslayer” died under the Iron Throne, his throat slit with a sword.

What's more.

Jaime looked up at Joffrey's face, and that radiant, sun-like golden hair.

Jaime's beloved sister had been rejecting him for more than a month. No, even earlier than that, since Robert went north to Winterfell, Cersei had no longer accepted his ardent and sincere love.

Jaime relentlessly asked again and again, and finally learned the reason from the Queen Regent's veiled words.

Joffrey knows the truth.

Jaime had no more doubts about Cersei's unusual behavior.

How could she allow her image in her son's eyes to continue to collapse? How could she further fuel the rumors spread by Renly, undermining her son's rule?

Jaime didn't have deep feelings for the three children, but he understood very well that Cersei loved her children even more than herself.

From then on, Jaime's life consisted only of duty and honor, tournaments and wars, being a good Kingsguard, a good Minister of the Army, a good Lannister.

Even if Joffrey harbored resentment towards him.

In the “Throne Room”, Grand Maester and Minister of Education Pycelle was reporting good and bad news. Jaime's attention, however, was focused on the three empty seats in front of the ministers.

Eddard Stark still holds the titles of “Regent” and “Hand of the King”, but he himself is far in the North and has never cared about Southern affairs.

Joffrey is indifferent to this and does not intend to appoint another Hand.

The Queen Regent is equally nominal.

The guests at Cersei's balls and banquets are mostly minor courtiers and ladies who only say pretty words and have no influence on the court.

The routine petitions in the Throne Room are becoming less and less important. It seems they are only using Cersei's beauty to appease the terrified people in the lower city, or using the Queen Regent's willfulness to fob off the complaints of those who have suffered losses.

And the Regent and Minister of Justice, Duke Tywin Lannister.

Jaime couldn't help but recall his father's request.

Withdraw from the Kingsguard, restore the right to inherit Casterly Rock, marry and have children.

When he heard these words, the first thing that came to Jaime's mind was Cersei's face. If he withdrew from the Kingsguard, he would have no reason to stay in the Red Keep and be by Cersei's side all day long.

But he quickly remembered the current situation, every meeting had become an ordeal, it seemed better not to meet often.

Jaime also thought of his little brother, Tyrion would surely be drunk for days if he knew.

Although Tyrion didn't say it explicitly, Jaime knew very well that what his little brother wanted most was Casterly Rock, his father's approval, to be a Lannister.

Jaime was still hesitating.

He also thought of Joffrey. Would Joffrey agree to his withdrawal from the Kingsguard? Or rather, would the King be willing?

In the position of a Privy Councilor, Jaime saw a lot and learned a lot.

In just one month, the Grace Light Curtain had bestowed more than fifty thousand, the army and the court were completely controlled by the King, and the entire King's Landing was therefore powerless to resist and could only be at the King's disposal.

And the number of Grace Light Curtain bestowed is increasing every day, now approaching ten thousand, the Grace Priests responsible for implanting the core are almost exhausted of their healing power.

What would happen if hundreds of thousands of people in King's Landing all had the Grace Light Curtain?

Whenever Jaime thought of such a strange and unpredictable future, he couldn't help but feel deeply shocked and confused.

In a few years or decades, the Grace Light Curtain will be popularized to everyone under the Iron Throne. At that time, the King will undoubtedly be able to directly rule the Seven Kingdoms, without the help of the lords, without fear of the lords.

Jaime is not the only one who sees this future, there are also the various ministers, King Joffrey, and the smart people of King's Landing.

Will the King and the nobles still live in peace?

“The Bold” Barristan began to speak. Jaime's gaze remained fixed on the empty seat engraved with the roaring golden lion.

His father should have realized this too.

Jaime couldn't help but speculate, perhaps his father returned to Casterly Rock for this reason, and ordered his uncle Kevan to take over the armies of the Vale and the Riverlands.

King's Landing is thus exposed alone on the front line, under the blade of the Southern Coalition.

Is this a test or a challenge for Joffrey?

Or is it just because he believes that King's Landing is strong enough, so he has formulated some kind of more profitable plan?

King's Landing can indeed face the rebellion alone.

Jaime is convinced of this. Failure is impossible, the only difference is winning more or winning less, winning sooner or winning later.

Casterly Rock.

Jaime couldn't help but wonder, does Joffrey want Casterly Rock among the spoils of war he wants to win?

Would his father agree, because of Joffrey's bloodline?

What about Tyrion?

Jaime thought a lot, a lot, but in the end, he didn't ask any questions.

In any case, he could not abandon Cersei and Tyrion, he will always have Lannister blood flowing in his veins, and he also carries a heavy oath, even if others do not take this oath seriously.

He came back to his senses.

Chief Steward Hanna was speaking, “...The Logistics Bureau's supply of materials has basically stabilized, consuming 800 tons of grain, 150 tons of meat, 100 tons of pig iron, and 2 tons of dragon crystal per week...”

He missed a lot of content, but Jaime wasn't in a hurry.

The minutes of the “Throne Room” meetings will be stored in the Light Curtain, every word, every person's actions and expressions will not be missed, he can check them privately.

As for his distraction, Jaime didn't care.

The Kingslayer must be more arrogant than others to be worthy of the title.

“...The weapons and equipment used by the Holy Warriors have been manufactured and the test results have met expectations.

Preparations for the construction of the flagship 'Grace' are complete, and the launching ceremony will be held this Sunday.

The above.”

Jaime heard a new name, “Grace”?
