The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Chapter 333 Duke Green

The interior decoration of the White Sword Tower was extremely simple. Green did not read the "White Code" and went to the top floor with Sir James.

The sun is gradually setting in the west, and the golden sunlight is shining on the sea like broken gold, shining with dazzling light as the waves rise and fall.

The face under Green Mo's hair was flushed red, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was admiring the beautiful scenery of the outer sea.

"I like it here too."

Ser Jaime, who came from behind, threw a leather wineskin towards Green as he spoke.

Green caught the wine bag, pulled out the stopper, and took a sip, but he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"What kind of wine is this? The taste... well, it's impressive."

Ser Jaime smiled brightly, took a sip of wine, and said: "The Kingsguard cannot be addicted to fine wine."

Green took another sip of wine and said, "The Kingsguard looks like a different kind of monk."

"..., it seems that Tyrion also said similar things to me."

Sir Jaime looked in the direction of Blackwater Bay and was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "How did you feel after meeting Lord Tywin?"

Green thought seriously for a moment and said, "I feel like there is a strong and majestic lion squatting in front of me. Under his gaze, I feel like I have no clothes on."

He shook the wine bag in his hand towards James: "It's much more impressive than that."

After hearing Green's description, Sir James couldn't help laughing: "Your description... is also impressive."

Green shrugged and said, "If you have anything to say, you can say it directly, Sir."

"You really have a sharp eye."

Sir James spread his hands and said, "I heard what happened on the tower, and I want to know your purpose of doing that."

After a pause, Green's brown eyes looked at Sir James with a solemn expression: "Although King Joffrey is still underage, I cannot let him be stigmatized. This is my public conscience."

Sir James' eyes moved slightly and asked: "Then what are your selfish motives?"

Green leaned against the wall and replied: "When I take the title of Duke of the Eagle's Nest City, it will be more legitimate."

The person in front of him was so candid that it made Sir James startled: "I thought you would at least find a beautiful reason."

"Don't be surprised, ser."

Green's eyes turned to the sea in the distance and continued: "Many people can see my purpose, but my way of handling it is the most rational. As for my own... In fact, most people know that I am actually the valley The ruler, or the true Duke of the Eyrie without a title."

After a pause, Sir James said: "Perhaps your method is more appropriate, but I am worried about another thing."

Green raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "King Joffrey?"

Hearing this, Sir James opened his mouth and said, "Are you really from Crab Claw Peninsula, Mr. Green?"

Green joked: "Mr. James, cough, the person standing in front of you is the number one general of the Seven Kingdoms."

Ser Jaime smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, the prisoner of Riverrun has not washed away his shame."

Green smiled up and said, "I'm waiting to see the lion hunt the wolf."

"I'll let you see it. I can't live up to the expectations of a famous general."

The joking between the two ended quickly. Sir James coughed lightly and said seriously: "Only protecting but not learning a lesson, Joffrey... the king will be more willful. He is the king, and this is not a good thing for the kingdom. "

Green's eyes moved slightly: "You saw another person through King Joffrey, right?"

He stared at Sir James for a while and then said: "Don't worry, he will not become the Mad King II, because the Mad King does not have his grandfather, uncle and mother around him."

He reached out and patted James' arm, and then said: "There are still three years, don't be too anxious, Sir. Moreover, you should know Duke Tywin's ability better than me. When he calms down the war in the Seven Kingdoms, he will have Time teaches a good king.”

…………

On the way to Mega Tower, Green suddenly asked: "What has Tyrion been busy with recently?"

Sir James's smile was slightly gloating: "The Chancellor is busy raising the golden dragon for the king's wedding."

"Lannister... to raise money?"

"I think it was his father who treated him..."

"...The scene will be huge?"

"...The Queen Mother's request is 770,000 gold dragons."

"...Did the Royal Council pass it?"

"...My father suddenly agreed...well...yesterday..."

…………

In the spacious and gorgeous hall of Meg Tower, orange-red flames danced in the fireplace.

Cersei Lannister sat at the head seat of the dining table. She was wearing a golden dress with a very low neckline, revealing her white shoulders and half of her breasts. The ends of the wide sleeves are spirally decorated with many tiny emeralds, which are also found on the bodice, and the larger ones are set in exquisite headdresses.

The candlelight flickered, seeming to coat her with a layer of brilliance.

During the soft conversation, while Green was picking up his glass and drinking, he took advantage of the moment when he raised his head to "secretly" glance at the Light of the West with his peripheral vision, as if he was worried about being noticed by himself.

Compared with the reserved Green Knight, Sir James's gaze was very direct, and he showed his true feelings.

Queen Cersei was born with an extremely keen eye for men, and the amazement and admiration in those eyes could not be hidden from her.

The corners of her lips were slightly curved unnoticeably. Regardless of Green or James, she was...very satisfied with the reaction of her two swords tonight.

Disgust flashed across Green's eyes as he glanced at James' handsome face full of pleasure. Didn't we have a tough argument not long ago? When you came here, wasn't it with reluctance and reluctance?

Just a few words of teasing from Cersei made Jaime suddenly return to his familiar appearance, and Lord Green despised him.

Queen Cersei gently put down the golden wine glass inlaid with gems, and suddenly said: "I got news that the little rose of the Tyrell family arrived at the inn outside King's Landing this afternoon."

She suddenly mentioned the topic of Margaery, and Green's eyes trembled slightly. As expected of Cersei, she had just solved her marriage problem, and she immediately focused on another "battle". The lioness was really The fighting doesn't stop.

Sir James' eyes moved slightly and said: "This is good news. Joffrey will be able to see her fiancée tomorrow. He must be very happy."

"tomorrow?"

Queen Cersei snorted coldly and continued: "How can it be tomorrow? The hypocritical Miss Golden Rose must have been fully prepared before entering King's Landing and meeting my son again."

Sir Jaime glanced at Cersei warily and said, "It's understandable that no girl doesn't like to dress up, and she also wants to look her most beautiful in front of her fiancé."

"You are so naive." Queen Cersei snorted again.

The lioness's eyes were slightly cold, and she continued: "James, I am sorry to tell you that her elaborate dress is not for our Joffrey, but for the untouchables of King's Landing. Golden Rose Ambition Bobo, they are not marrying the little rose to my son, they are marrying her to Joffrey's kingdom."

She finally said: "I will never tolerate Golden Rose plotting against my son."

"..." Green, who was leaning back in his chair, couldn't help but glance at Cersei.

Sir James said helplessly: "Cersei, Tyrell are allies of the Lannister, and their lady will give birth to an heir for Joffrey..."

Realizing that Cersei was looking at him as if she were looking at an idiot, he paused and said, "With us here, no one can hurt Joffrey, I promise."

Queen Cersei ignored James's advice at all. Seeing her eyes turning towards him, Green pondered for a moment and said: "Queen Cersei, if you are really worried, you can think of a way to transfer the Duke of Mace away from King's Landing. ”

Upon hearing Green's suggestion, Queen Cersei's green eyes moved slightly, and she took a thoughtful sip of summer red.

"You two..."

Sir James said helplessly again: "At least let the wedding of Joffrey and Margaery go smoothly..."

As he said that, he noticed some bad movement on Cersei's face.

He understood her, and James said quickly: "Queen Cersei, this wedding is very important, it is related to Joffrey's Iron Throne."

In fact, Queen Cersei was indeed tempted to ruin the wedding just now.

But how could she admit: "I am not a fool like you, Ser Jaime."

Hearing Cersei's taunting, James was relieved: "Let's bless them both."

Queen Cersei said coldly: "If I hadn't heard the voices of those untouchables outside, I might have reluctantly blessed her."

After saying that, she stood up from the chair, raised her chin slightly, and said, "Green, follow me to the study."

She turned around and added: "Alone."

Green felt the ancestral armor on his body, tapped his chin at James, then stood up and followed him.

Sir James's improved mood was ruined again by another "quarrel".

Sighing, Jaime had to admit that the beauty between him and Cersei was no longer what it once was.

He asked in his heart, what went wrong? !

His eyes moved towards the two people leaving. Sir James planned to go back directly. He wanted to have a good sleep to expel the fatigue from his body.

But when he thought of Green's "secret joy" before leaving...

He asked himself, he actually trusted Green's character as a knight...

But why can't he keep thinking too much? And is it a bad guess?

He hasn't found the answer yet.

As Sir Jaime left, he walked towards the study unconsciously. He finally convinced himself that he needed to protect Cersei's safety. This was his duty.

The Queen Mother's study in Megta.

"I love your gift, dear Green."

As soon as the door closed, Queen Cersei "appeared" in Green's arms.

She raised her eyes and looked at Green, as if he was the only one in her eyes: "I like your surprises, you make me happy."

Green's hand on Cersei's waist moved "uneasily". He showed a faint smile and said: "I don't know whether the negotiation will go smoothly. I just tried it. I was lucky."

Queen Cersei moved her body and said: "It was your incomparable courage that brought me victory, dear knight."

She raised the corners of her lips: "The brave knight deserves to be rewarded by the lioness herself."

Slender fingers slowly drew circles on Green's cold breastplate, her expression was seductive.

"It's an honor, my Queen Mother, but today..."

Green's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his voice was slightly hoarse from his throat.

He slowed down a little and said, "Perhaps you can canonize me first while Duke Tywin is busy dealing with matters during the day."

Queen Cersei blinked and said, "Duke of the Eyrie?"

After a pause, she frowned slightly: "You mean the Old Lion will confer you the title of Duke of the Eagle's Nest City?"

Green's eyes seemed to sweep across the white patch of flowers inadvertently, and his chest slowly rose and fell, saying: "If it were me, I would use this as an excuse to find a way to leave you... and leave King's Landing as soon as possible. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cersei said angrily: "No, you can't leave!"

When the lioness's anger surged, Green naturally backed away a little. He grabbed her slender arm and said, "You are the Queen Regent. According to the law, you have the right to directly ennoble me. So, you don't have to do anything for me. Guessing affects your mood.”

She was even humiliated by a dwarf because she didn't have a sharp sword by her side, and she would never repeat the same mistake.

She has not forgotten the injustice she suffered from the old lion before her two swords arrived at King's Landing.

After a pause, Queen Cersei looked up at him and said, "Dear Green, the old lion will also use other methods."

Her beautiful eyes were moistened: "He will definitely not give up easily."

Green grabbed Queen Cersei's hands with a little more strength: "Please rest assured, no one can order the Duke of Eyrie except the Queen Regent, and... the Vale is only at your disposal."

Seeing that Queen Cersei was about to move, Green let go of her hands. She leaned on Green's chest, curled her lips slightly, and said regretfully: "Originally... I wanted to keep it as your name day gift."

"...This is a good thing. I can look forward to another gift from you, my queen mother." Green's hands moved, and then he hugged her carefully.

After a knock on the door, Sir Jaime's voice came from outside the door: "Queen Cersei."

Queen Cersei first frowned slightly in displeasure, then calmly separated her body, straightened her clothes a little, and said, "Go and take a look, dear Green."

After saying that, she walked towards the desk.

After opening the door, Sir James walked in. He raised the wine bottle in his hand and said, "The Queen Regent, Lord Green, I have brought you fine wine."

Cersei's cold snort came from the other side of the desk, and Green put his hands behind his back and ordered: "Pour me a glass of wine. Please help me, waiter."

Sir James glanced sideways at Green, gritted his teeth and said, "What an honor, Earl."

Sitting at the table, Queen Cersei just glanced at the two childish men, then picked up a quill, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the blank parchment: Canonize Green Clayburgh with... To be the Duke of the Eagle's Nest and the governor of the valley... grant all the fief taxes in the valley... All the lords of the valley must be lords of the Crabb family... and inherit it from generation to generation... for eternity.

She signed at the end: Queen Regent, Keeper of the Realm, Cersei Lannister.
