The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Cersei Lannister looked at Green, her pupils narrowed: "No need to guess, the two daughters of the Stark family are among the entourage."

After saying that, the angry Cersei broke several bouquets of rose branches, but she was still not relieved.

She said angrily: "I want to kill a wolf, preferably one with gray fur!"

Green stood silently.

Boss Cersei has finished folding the roses and wants to kill the wolf...wait a minute.

Green reached out to grab Cersei's hand and wiped away the juice left by the broken flower branch with his cloak.

Cersei lowered her eyes and glanced at the hand held by Green, and raised the corners of her lips: "Earl Green, you are quite courageous."

"My queen, I am your steward."

Green gently put down Cersei's hand and continued: "Your Highness, no one in the Seven Kingdoms can stop what King Robert wants to do."

He added: "Except for you, but the price is too high, it is not cost-effective."

Cersei raised her chin slightly, her green eyes moved slightly, and said coldly: "It's just a battle of life and death, your queen will never compromise!"

Holding the sword hilt tightly, Green said: "Queen Cersei, you should not take risks yourself. Please leave dangerous matters to me... and Sir Jaime."

After listening to Green's persuasion, Cersei's lips curled up slightly: "Green, your words always make me happy. Sometimes I don't know how to reward you..."

As she spoke, Cersei stretched out her white and tender hand and patted Green. Her slender fingers touched the cold armor, and her brows furrowed imperceptibly.

Cersei glanced at the tightly fitted Krab armor with slight dissatisfaction.

Green replied solemnly: "Being able to serve you is the greatest reward for me."

Cersei scoffed, "What a lovely boy."

Green: "...", he blinked in confusion.

This was the first time Green saw Cersei showing such a natural smile. Her hair shone like gold foil under the sun, and she was as beautiful as a summer girl.

James seems to have good taste?

The sweet smile on Cersei's face quickly dissipated, and she stared at the flowers, and soon a mocking contempt appeared on her face.

The King's Road west of the Trident.

Eddard Stark looked at Robert Baratheon, whose waistline had become as astonishing as his height, with an expression of disbelief on his serious face.

Is this really Robert?

"Ned! Oh, it's so good to see you, especially with that bad face of yours."

Ed heard a familiar bell-like voice, and then he was hugged, almost breaking all the bones in his body.

Eddard finally confirmed the fat man's identity. This man was indeed Robert.

Fifteen years ago, when they fought side by side, Robert was a man with a clean face, clear eyes, six feet and five inches tall, like a majestic tower, standing out among the crowd, and a strong man that a young girl in Huaichun dreamed of.

Nine years ago during Balon Greyjoy's Rebellion, the banners of the stag and the direwolf flew together, and the armies of the Seven Kingdoms joined forces to conquer the lord who proclaimed himself the King of the Iron Islands. On the night of victory, the two stood side by side in the hall of the Greyjoy family's fallen fortress. Robert accepted the letter of surrender from the rebel leader, and he adopted his youngest son Theon as his adopted son.

Although a beard as thick and black as wire now covered his fat double chin, there was nothing that could hide Robert's big belly.

Robert looked up and down carefully and said in a hearty voice, "You really haven't changed at all."

A smile appeared on Duke Eddard's always serious face. He knelt down on one knee and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, Winterfell is at your disposal."

He took note of his wife's advice. Robert was not only his friend, but also the King of the Seven Kingdoms.

"Damn it, Ned!"

Robert cursed: "Don't do this with me!"

King Robert's strong hand took up Lord Eddard, who was kneeling respectfully on the ground.

Robert said angrily: "Also, we are brothers. If you dare to call me Your Majesty again, I will hang you at the door of the Women's Branch. Before that, I will take off your pants first, haha!"

Eddard smiled. He felt that although Robert's appearance had changed a little, his temperament had not changed at all. He recalled that the two of them were still so close to each other in the Eyrie.

Eddard had grown up with Robert in the Eyrie as the adopted son of Jon Arryn since he was eight years old, and he considered Robert a brother and sister.

Although he has a rich heart, Stark is stubborn: "I dare not forget."

"Seven hells!"

After Robert met Ed's two daughters, he said: "The children are much cuter than you!"

The guards were scattered around, and the two came to the river.

Robert pointed to the distance and said: "Right over there, I'll kill Rhaegar with one hammer!"

Ed recalled his sister's last smile, and how she held his hand tightly before passing away, the rose petals pouring from her palm, dark and lifeless.

This is a pain that is deeply etched in Ed's heart.

Eddard said slowly: "You have killed him and avenged Lyanna."

Robert said angrily: "But I only killed him once! Now I can only continue to kill him in my dreams, every night!"

Robert's voice was hoarse with the grief of the memory: "My gods, Lyanna is only sixteen..."

Lyanna Stark was originally going to be Robert's bride, but she died at 16 o'clock. At that time, she was still a childlike girl.

Some old wounds never heal and will bleed again with just a few words.

The two men stood silently on the bank of the river, looking at the flowing river with a heavy atmosphere.

The cold Iron Throne could not make up for the loss of Lyanna.

After a while, Eddard looked at Robert: "Tell me about Jon."

Robert shook his head: "I have never seen a person's condition deteriorate so quickly in my life, as if Jon's life was burned out in a short time like a raging fire."

Eddard was in no rush to voice his suspicions about the Lannister, there were matters that needed to be investigated personally.

After a pause, Robert stretched out his huge arm and put it around Ed's shoulders: "I originally wanted to talk to you about this matter in a few days, but since you mentioned it, let's talk about it now."

Ed looked at Robert, who suddenly became serious, and nodded slightly.

"Jon's death was too sudden!"

Robert sighed again, and he continued: "The Red Keep is in a mess now. I need a trustworthy helper, someone like Jon Arryn. He is not only the Duke of the Eagle's Nest, but also the Warden of the East and the Prime Minister. , it will not be easy to find a suitable replacement."

Robert said angrily: "One after another, damn, they are all eyeing the position of Prime Minister, and they don't even consider that they don't have the ability. If I dare to hand over the kingdom to them, the gods will never Will forgive me!"

Ed asked: "Jon's child..."

Robert interrupted Eddard: "His son will inherit the title of Duke of the Eyrie and all the taxes of the Vale."

Ed was stunned for a moment and then said: "The Arryn family in the valley has been the guardian of the East for generations. This is a hereditary position!"

Robert was a little impatient: "Ned, a six-year-old boy cannot lead an army. The first thing I have to consider is this year and the next few years. When the child grows up, I will consider whether to return it to him! "

Ed didn't want to back down: "Warden of the East is just an honorary title in peacetime. Let that child inherit this title. Even old Jon who has worked hard for the kingdom all his life, this is what he should be."

Robert withdrew his hand from Eddard's shoulder and said in an unhappy tone: "Jon is the Queen's Prime Minister. This is his duty. He should be loyal to his king!"

His tone softened and he continued: "Ned, I am not an ungrateful person. You should know this best. I respect and love him as much as you do. But that child is not his father. A young child will never be able to govern the East. , Gods, please forgive me!"

King Robert held Lord Eddard's elbow tightly and said, "Ned, stop talking about this! I need your help with something, and I won't allow you to refuse."

Ahhhh, wait until I finish my work!
