The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire
Chapter 149 Black News
The scenery of Megta Garden is intoxicating. Looking around, you can see a sea of colorful flowers.
Green stroked his chest and nodded: "Your Highness, this is my greatest honor."
Queen Cersei tapped her chin, picked up the jeweled wine glass, took a sip of wine, and suddenly said: "Earl Green, how long will it take for your men to arrive."
Green glanced at Sansa beside him and said respectfully: "Queen Cersei, ten days at the latest."
"very good."
After saying that, Queen Cersei seemed to be thinking about something, and Green and Sansa did not disturb her.
Sansa Stark has been impressed by Cersei's charm, and the cakes drawn by Queen Cersei are big and delicious.
Her mind was now filled with beautiful visions of being with Joffrey.
Family, responsibility, honor... Green sighed in his heart. The little wolf girl who fell in love has not yet understood what winter is coming.
Alas, those who are able work hard.
…………
Queen Cersei's beautiful eyes looked elsewhere, with a gentle smile on her face.
"Dear Sansa, look...your prince has come to fetch you."
Not far away, Joffrey was holding a beautiful white horse and waved this way.
Sansa first stood up with a look of joy on her face, and then said shyly: "Your Highness, I..."
Queen Cersei shook her head helplessly, and she said lovingly: "My lovely Sansa, go quickly, don't keep your prince waiting."
After Sansa left, Queen Cersei's gentle smile disappeared immediately.
"What a simple and good boy."
Green smiled and said, "Queen Cersei, what's important is that you like her."
"Sit down."
Queen Cersei was referring to the chair where Sansa had been sitting.
Green was stunned for a moment. He first nodded in thanks, then grabbed the chair and moved some distance away, and then sat down.
Cersei's lips curled up slightly, and her green eyes looked at Green, who was sitting upright.
"Earl Green, can your soldiers deal with the golden robes?"
Green's eyes moved, and he replied respectfully: "Your Highness, it mainly depends on where the battle will be fought. If it is outside the city, 2,000 Kleber blue robes are enough to defeat all the gold robes in King's Landing."
After a pause, he continued: "It would be different if we were in the city. Almost everyone in the golden robe is equipped with chain armor, breastplates and helmets, which can be said to be well-equipped. The space in the city is narrow, It is difficult for Kleb soldiers to use their own advantages. The best result is a narrow victory, but the casualties will definitely be high, and the few remaining people may not be able to continue to serve you."
"armor?"
After a pause, Cersei said, "What if your soldiers had enough armor?"
Green said without hesitation: "If the gold robes dare to offend you, my soldiers will kill them all. With equal equipment, one blue robe can defeat ten gold robes, there is no doubt about this."
Queen Cersei stood up. She walked back and forth for a while and said, "I will send someone to talk to Lord Janos (the Commander-in-Chief of the Golden Robes). It's time for the Golden Robes to replace their old equipment."
Has Count Janos been bribed, or is he planning to be bribed? This... is not important. The golden robe equipment obtained in some way is the important point.
Count Janos is probably going to get rich, and so is Green.
Green's eyes lit up and he said: "Your Highness, your wisdom is amazing. When the time comes, the cowardly Golden Robe can only choose to surrender to you. No one in the king can disobey your order."
Queen Cersei walked up to Green with a wine glass in one hand and said, "Smart Green, you seem to have guessed what your queen is going to do?"
Green lowered his eyes slightly and said respectfully: "The responsibility of the Kleb family is to protect the safety of the queen."
After being stared at by Queen Cersei's green eyes for a while, Greene began to look a little unnatural, and the corners of her lips curled up imperceptibly.
After a pause, Queen Cersei moved and sat on Green's lap, gently wrapping one hand around his neck.
Green clearly felt the aura of Queen Cersei, and his body was stiff and did not dare to move.
She swung the wine glass with her other hand and said with a smile, "Will you do anything for the queen's safety?"
Green's Adam's apple rolled and he said, "Yes, Queen."
Cersei's expression became gentler and her beautiful eyes stared at her: "Does that person have any identity?"
Green's pupils narrowed, and he looked at the beautiful face half a palm away. His voice was filled with suppressed excitement: "Yes, Queen, loyal and fearless."
"very good……"
Queen Cersei raised her glass and took a sip of Summer Red, and said, "Green, your queen is very satisfied with your answer. How should I reward you?"
Green's voice was respectful, but with a hint of vibrato.
"Your Highness Cersei, your trust is the greatest reward..."
As he spoke, his eyes moved, and he continued: "A warrior only needs a glass of wine."
Queen Cersei's smile deepened, and she happily complied with Green's little request, while the clumsy Lord Green tasted the warm summer red.
…………
Outside Magart's Tower Garden, Green paused and looked in the direction of the throne room.
The first step is to use Lancel and spirits to create an accident that is not an accident. If the drunken King Robert is lucky and does not have an accident, then he will have to face an ambush from Jaime and Lannister in red robes who have returned to their old ways.
What if the Drunk King escapes again? Grimm was the last act arranged by Queen Cersei, the mutiny.
Queen Cersei told Green that in a few days she would take her children to the hunting grounds to join King Robert... Thinking of this, Green's eyes trembled slightly.
Joffrey's beauty trap was so successful that Greene could tell that Sansa was completely smitten. Queen Cersei and Joffrey will take Sansa away with them in the name of hunting, and the little wolf girl in her hands may become a hostage to contain the running wolf at any time.
The arrangements are very careful, but if things go wrong, the all-pervasive Varys may secretly help, and King Robert will definitely die.
At that time, Earl Green, who holds 2,000 blue robes in King's Landing, will be the only variable.
Green recalled every detail of his previous encounter with Queen Cersei, flicked his blue cloak embroidered with swamp marigolds, and took another step.
Green's mind is delicate and sharp, and he also has a deep understanding of Queen Cersei. The gentler she treats him, the more she is harboring evil intentions.
Green plays the role very well. It seems to Cersei that this sultry young man has fallen under her charm... he can be used or killed, all under her control.
…………
Green, who was walking, glanced back at Maegor's Tower.
If King Robert can be eliminated in an accident and ambush... it will be a happy scene for everyone, and Green will most likely be appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Golden Robe as she said.
If he came to power through a mutiny, the hard-working Grimm would become the scapegoat, and it is very likely that there would also be Duke Eddard, who is a brother and sister to King Robert.
The plan seemed to be flawless... but Green sighed helplessly. Boss Cersei seemed to have completely ignored the possibility of another mutiny.
The running wolf may surrender for the sake of his child, but will the Green Lord with troops and horses surrender as Cersei thinks?
The temporarily wifeless and childless Earl Green can be said to have no weaknesses at certain times...arrogant schemes, which is very Cersei.
Could it be that he usually acts too well? Didn't Queen Cersei consider the consequences if the heavily-armed Grimm resisted?
She is also planning to use the equipment of the golden robe to arm Kleb soldiers, which is indeed very Cersei.
Maybe I've thought about it a little bit, but a young man who secretly admires her can meet her alone at any time and... throw a cup as a sign, cough!
Green sighed in his heart, Cersei is so lucky, and this is a game of thrones... The Lord is not angry at all.
Green thought again of Duke Ed who accepted death. He rubbed his hair with a headache. Maybe he could walk more slowly and more steadily.
…………
Pavilion near the Government Office.
Green didn't wait long as Varys walked over with light steps.
Varys held his hands and said, "Good day, Earl Green."
Wallis's words and deeds in front of others are a bit exaggerated, and his emotions fluctuate greatly. He seems to be easily frightened, but he always looks very affable when he meets Green in private.
Green knew that this was all the "camouflage" that Varys deliberately displayed, and his apparent harmlessness was one of the reasons why he firmly sat in the Royal Council seat in the Red Keep.
Wallis had previously offered an invitation to join hands (Chapter 124), and Green cautiously chose to accept it after a period of "thoughtful consideration."
Then, both parties agreed that Littlefinger was a troublemaker who could easily cause unexpected changes in the situation. At the same time, Varys took on the task of finishing the attack to show his sincerity.
Green's original secret ally Petyr Baelish was sent to the dark prison by him and Varys, and a new secret alliance was born, Green and Varys.
The political purpose of the two joining hands is selfless. They want to usher in a truly good king for the people of the Seven Kingdoms who are suffering from poverty.
The candidate for the new king is Viserys Targaryen, whom the people have been waiting for and who understands the people's sufferings. He is the legal heir to the Iron Throne.
In short, after discussing with Varys at that time, Lord Green felt that his whole person had been sublimated.
On the surface, the two of them joined hands to welcome back the new king Viserys. As for Varys's real purpose... it wasn't important... because the two of them only needed each other temporarily.
It just depends on who uses the other person first to achieve their own goals.
…………
Green nodded slightly towards Varys and said, "Good day, Lord Varys."
Wallis had a smile on his fat face and said, "My little birdie just brought amazing news."
After a pause, Green's eyes moved slightly and said: "Is it... Tyrell?"
"It's not just Tyrell..."
The Mountain, which killed the Knight of Flowers in the tourney yesterday, fell into a pool of blood when surrounded by Renly and Tyrell's guards, but survived under the treatment of Grand Maester Pycelle.
When the news came out, Ser Garlan (the second son of the Duke of Metz) and Duke Renly killed him with red eyes and guards at the same time.
Varys sighed and said: "The Mountain is really terrifying. More than a dozen people were killed and injured on both sides. The Mountain even broke off Garland Tyrell's right arm before he died."
"Can it be cured?"
Varys shook his head: "The Duke of Highgarden's eldest son was lame in one leg when he participated in the tourney for the first time, and his second son has now lost an arm. In addition, the three sons died in this tourney... Alas!"
Green raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems there is some good news?"
Varys sighed again and said: "What an unnecessary disaster... The little Lannister devil who came home from the Women's Branch happened to be involved in this conflict. He was slashed on the face by someone. It is said that The sword wound went from under the left eye to the right side of the chin, half of the nose was missing, and a piece of the lip was missing... There was blood all the way when he was carried away, and Maester Pycelle was going to be very busy."
Green frowned slightly and tapped the railing of the pavilion with his slender fingers.
He turned his head and looked at Varys, with worry in his eyes: "Lord Varys, is Tyrion's injury serious?"
"I don't think it's life-threatening..."
Wallis's eyes trembled, and he added: "I heard that the injured area was so painful that doctors couldn't clean it. It is said that feeding him a lot of poppy milk finally put him out of pain temporarily."
Green closed his eyes.
After a while, he opened his eyes and said calmly: "Lord Varys, the situation in the southern part of the kingdom has become increasingly serious. Is this beneficial to Your Majesty?"
The majesty in Green's mouth refers to Viserys in Essos, and it is also a code word that only he and Varys understand.
Varys nodded slightly: "Duke Tywin, who had ignored Aerys II's orders for nearly a year, suddenly appeared outside King's Landing with a 12,000-man Lannister army and asked to enter the city.
Although I strongly opposed the Lannister army's request to enter the city, His Majesty accepted Maester Pycelle's suggestion and opened the city gate... Oh, King's Landing with its tall city walls fell in an instant, and the Targaryen Iron Throne was no longer There is no way to save it. "
After a moment of silence, he added: "The betrayers in that war and those who benefited the most will be His Majesty's biggest opponents in regaining the Iron Throne."
Green said: "It seems that Tyrion's injury is good news for His Majesty, because..."
Varys said: "A Lannister must pay its debts."
He smiled and added: "It's really an embarrassing principle of doing things."

…………
Prime Minister's Tower.
Jon Snow, who looked a little pale, was lying on the bed, and Munton Waters' fat body was sitting on the chair next to him.
Jon injured a leg in a group close combat at the tourney and was recuperating.
He moved his injured leg a little and couldn't help but groan in pain.
Mengton said naively: "Jon, the doctor said that your feeling of pain is a gift from the gods. This means that the bones are gradually joining together and the wound will heal quickly."
"damned……"
Jon first cursed and then said: "Monton, when my feet stop hurting, it's not too late to thank the gods."
Mengton pointed to the medicine jar on the table and said, "That's the poppy milk left by the doctor. You drink it when the pain is too severe."
"I don't want to continue sleeping..."
With a bang, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and Arya burst in with tears on her face.
"Brother, Bu...Bran, he..."
Black wings bring black news.
