The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Red Keep, 3rd floor of Maegor's Tower.

James has been guarding the door for nearly an hour.

This room is the room that Cersei likes to use when she has confidential matters. The wooden door is very soundproof, and no sound from inside the house can be heard outside the door.

Not sure what he was thinking, James moved his body as if to place his ear against the heavy wooden door.

James stopped in time and shook his head with a forced smile, as if he was laughing at his childish behavior just now.

James straightened his back again, holding the sword handle tightly with his right hand, and flicked the white cloak with his left hand.

After another hour, the door was finally opened and Green walked out of the room.

Green nodded to James naturally: "Sir James, thank you again for being my guide today. Goodbye."

Green said goodbye politely to James.

James raised his eyebrows and curved his lips: "Let me see you off."

Don't! Green wanted to say no.

Before Green could answer, James flicked his cloak and turned around, already taking steps. Green had no choice but to acquiesce in James' escort.

……………………

The two walked down the stairs side by side, passed the Queen's Chamber, and walked out of Maegor's Tower.

When going down the stairs, the thoughtful Green noticed that James seemed to have something to say to him.

Although Green didn't quite understand James' inexplicable hostility towards him, he also knew that there was no need to deliberately take the initiative. In addition, he spent a lot of brain cells lobbying Queen Cersei today, so Green pretended not to notice.

When Green saw Menton Weishui waiting at the door, he just waved his hand to follow him.

Green didn't utter a word.

Mengton, whose eyes were still dull, nodded naively, touched his belly, and followed Green.

……………………

James finally slowed down: "Cough!"

James coughed deliberately and glanced sideways at Green, who was walking beside him.

Hearing the movement, Green turned his head and met James' eyes, his face showing doubts at the right time.

"What are you going to do? I'll keep it a secret."

Green did not answer James immediately, and looked forward again.

Green and James did not stop: "Sir James, I understand why you are worried. In fact, I don't like killing."

Tyrion had told James about this, and he agreed. Although it was their first meeting, James could feel that Green was not a bloodthirsty person. This was the judgment of an "old knight".

James nodded slightly.

Isn’t it because the battle report is biased against my suspicion of excessive killing?

Cold! Green no longer wanted to guess why James, an arrogant man, had inexplicable hostility towards him.

"Sir James, please look at the whole thing from a different perspective. If my plan succeeds, who will be the ultimate profiteer?"

James's shining blue eyes moved.

"Her Highness Cersei and the common people."

"Just cut off the evildoers around them, and at least their lives will be easier."

“This is governance, flexible good governance.”

Green stopped and said, "Sir James, King's Landing is too unfamiliar to me. You have a great reputation. If you are willing to lend a helping hand, I will be even more confident!"

Although James' face was calm, he was not calm inside, and he felt that his impression of Green had suddenly changed.

But...you can't just listen, you have to watch what you do!

Jaime knew in his heart that Green's plan had Cersei's approval.

Although the smile was faint, James showed a kind smile to Green for the first time: "This is a matter related to Her Highness Cersei, and I will support you."

Green's eyes were calm and heavy: "For the sake of Your Highness Cersei."

James couldn't help but be led by Green, and repeated: "For Her Royal Highness Cersei."

Green's right palm solemnly placed on his left chest: "Sir James, also for the mercy and justice of the knight!"

James's pupils shrank, his expression unconsciously serious.

Vale, Seagull Town, Lord's Hall.

After listening to the report from his subordinates, Earl Grafson frowned and said, "So, the only clue to the fire at Meka Manor is the song in the harbor square chorus... called..."

The attendant whispered in Count Grafson's ear: "Listen to the whispers of the crypt..."

"Yes, listen to the whispers in the crypt, the half-savages of Crab Claw Peninsula..."

"The Kleb family..."

"Yes, Kleb, it's them, right? But can a song alone be used as evidence? The Grafson family will be laughed at by the big shots in the Red Keep."

Sheriff of Seagull Town: "Sorry, sir, those thieves left too quickly and cleanly, leaving us no evidence."

Count Grafson's bachelor said: "Actually, everyone understands what's going on. The young Baron Kleb is imitating what the old lion Tywin did back then!"

Earl Grafson touched the top of his head: "Kaka...Cass..."

"The rainy season in Castelme..."

"Yes, Castamere's Rainy Season! This is revenge for my cousin, and I don't want to leave any evidence for us!"

Count Grafson tapped his fingers on the table for a while: "Bachelor, how do you think we should deal with it? Such a big thing has happened in Seagull Town. As a lord, I cannot do nothing. There must be many people waiting secretly. Watch my joke!"

Lord Grafson's maester: "You can ask others to contact Duke Jon. Don't forget that there is a branch of Duke Jon's family in Seagull Town."

"As the lord of Seagull Town, it is difficult to report a noble directly to the Red Keep if there is no direct evidence of guilt. But they are different. They are a family. It is appropriate to report privately to Duke Jon."

"good idea!"

Special thanks to Mr. Xuefenggu for the great award!
