The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Orren Weishui laughed: "What a thoughtful answer."

After a pause, he stepped on the deck under his feet, waved his hand, and said loudly: "This one, from now on, the 'Sweet Cersei' will be handed over to you, Captain Seaworth."

Arad Seaworth patted his chest: "At your service, Lord Orren."

Orren laughed again, and he took a step: "Let's go."

When he passed by Arad, he paused, patted his hand, raised the corner of his mouth, and said: "Give my regards to Duke Crabbe, my captain."

After that, he patted Arad's shoulder again.

Looking at the arrogant back of Orren as he left surrounded by the crowd, Arad couldn't help but curl his lips secretly.

A bastard from Tidehead Island who had no reputation at all actually became the commander of the royal fleet. Arad felt that there was nothing more ridiculous than this.

"These ships should ride the wind and waves on the vast ocean." Before stepping on the wooden board to disembark, Oren suddenly sighed, paused, and said: "Let's go, you've been busy all day, you need the reward of fine wine and beautiful women."

Walking to the railing on the edge of the deck, Arad looked down at everyone laughing and leaving, with a flash of contempt in his eyes.

Not long after he joined the royal fleet, someone quietly told him that he would be considered a real member of the family only after drinking the wine poured by the commander himself.

Arad used a silver deer to ask for the specific content...

It was indeed the commander who poured wine for his men, but that person had to kneel in front of him and hold the wine glass with both hands until it was full.

Thinking of this, Arad couldn't help but curl his lips again. This is not a royal fleet... Oren's behavior is like the pirate leader across the strait.

Oren mentioned his feudal lord before, and just now he loudly said that he wanted to go to the tavern, which was very much like the pirates' method of winning people over... The noble second son of the Seaworth family could not help but stare at the illegitimate child from Tide Head Island.

Arad touched his stomach. After walking around all day, he was a little hungry. He planned to get off the boat to find something to eat.

In the shadow not far from the fragrant grilled fish stall, the noble Arad Seaworth was gnawing on a big grilled fish.

He picked up the wine bag and took a big sip of wine, exhaled comfortably, and then... He was about to continue gnawing on the grilled fish, but suddenly stopped.

His father said that he had a pair of smuggler's eyes. He accidentally saw a figure wearing a hooded cloak. She seemed to be...

Arad's pupils couldn't help but shrink. How could the king's fiancée appear in such a place? !

He was a little suspicious of his "smuggler's eye", but... he felt that he was not wrong. He had seen the noble lady buying things from vendors on the street several times... Miss Rose was too beautiful and he was impressed by her.

Although he only saw half of her face under the hood, he would not make a mistake. She was easy to recognize, even with the cloak covering her.

Arad leaned back and then glanced around calmly... There were many "strange" civilians in the crowd. Their clothes were shabby, but their bodies were very strong.

His father warned his sons that most smugglers died of unnecessary curiosity.

Arad was about to put away his curiosity, but... another strange and familiar figure walked into the inn that Miss Rose had entered before.

That woman... wasn't she the Queen Mother's companion who was very famous in King's Landing recently - the Myr slut - Lady Tanya (Chapter 383)? !

Queen Cersei had taken her to inspect the Royal Fleet Dockyard, and that was the third day since he joined the Royal Fleet.

The King's fiancée secretly met Queen Cersei's female bedmate in the inn beside the Blackwater River... Arad couldn't help scratching his head with his black fingers. More than a decade later, the real reason why the Seaworth family was always looked down upon by other nobles... Could it be because the people of Seaworth were not as unrestrained as them...?

Arad soon realized that he had guessed wrong. More than a dozen minutes later, when he was licking fish bones out of boredom, Lady Tanya walked out of the inn and disappeared in the crowd in a hurry.

Then, not long after, when Arad Seaworth was wondering why Miss Rose hadn't come out yet, his eyes widened involuntarily, and he saw a middle-aged man walk into the inn. That man was actually the Minister of the Navy, Earl Matus Rowan.

There were more and more strong civilians in the crowd. He observed the surroundings for a while, then quietly left the grilled fish stall and stayed here... If he was noticed by the guards hiding in the crowd, he might cause unnecessary trouble.

He was entrusted with the task assigned by the feudal lord, and he should hide himself as much as possible.

Before leaving, Arad glanced at the three-story inn newly built after the Battle of King's Landing. Perhaps... he could write to his father about the interesting things he saw today.

In the room of the inn.

Robert I died, Duke Stark was imprisoned, and Duke Stannis became king.

Prime Minister Jon's last words—strong and tough, black hair and blonde hair.

After Margaery's secret investigation in the Red Castle, she finally learned about the shocking crimes committed by Cersei.

Standing in front of the candlestick, Margaery's rosy lips showed a mocking arc. She tried hard to find out useless information, which was even the secret that she needed to help Cersei cover up.

If Tommen is not the legitimate king, then her crown as queen will be lost, and Tyrell can only choose to let it become a secret forever.

After a pause, a slightly relaxed smile appeared on her lips, but... Mrs. Tanya had a small surprise.

Knock knock knock.

Hearing the knock on the door, Margaery's brown eyes moved slightly and she said softly: "Please come in."

Count Matus Rowan opened the door and entered. After hesitating for a short while, he reached out and closed the door.

Matus stood in front of the door, without moving much, and nodded slightly to her, "Miss Margery."

Margaery Tyrell turned to face him, folded her hands in front of her belly, and gave a gentle salute: "Thank you for attending the appointment, Count Matus."

Earl Matus came out of the room after looking around for a while and said: "Miss Margaery, maybe you shouldn't choose this place to meet. It's not good for you."

Margaery looked a little helpless: "Queen Cersei has made no secret of her surveillance of me, and I am sometimes embarrassed. After all, she is the mother of King Tommen."

Count Matus had a resolute and political face. He wrinkled his head and said: "I have heard about this, and I plan to formally protest at the next royal meeting."

Margaery smiled and shook her head: "You should already know something about her. She will never admit it. We can't arrest all the waiters and maids of Megta for interrogation."

After a pause, Earl Matus comforted stiffly: "When the Duke of Mace returns from taking Storm's End, I believe that even Queen Cersei will not dare to offend you again."

"Please rest assured, this is just a small test before wearing the queen's crown. I can handle it well."

Margery smiled gratefully at Count Matus and said, "The reason we made an appointment to meet here is because before you arrived, I met another person, and she sent an important piece of information."

"she?"

Margaery nodded slightly: "The wife of the Earl of Longbow Hall, Lady Tanya."

Count Matus' calm voice was slightly surprised: "Is she yours?"

Margaery did not answer directly: "Brother Willas will choose a fiancée with a Tyrell surname for her son, Russell Mareweis."

Count Matus was a little troubled by the palace games. He paused and said with emotion: "Compared to becoming King Tommen's playmate, this is indeed more attractive."

Margaery chuckled: "This is just a small transaction between women. I have only admiration for knights who can gallop on the battlefield."

She slowly came to Count Matus, raised her head and stared at him for a while, her red lips parted slightly: "Lady Tanya told me that the death of the last Archbishop was caused by the death of Queen Cersei, who sent Osney Kettleblack Made.”

Hearing this, Earl Matus's expression suddenly became solemn: "Miss Margaery, is this news reliable?"

Margaery did not answer, but continued: "It is said that in order to get rid of Robert I, she and the king's attendant at the time... Cersei's cousin... She convinced Lancel Lannis on the bed Later, Sir Lancel, who was seriously injured in the Battle of King's Landing, confessed to the former Archbishop... Queen Cersei suspected that Lancel had betrayed herself to the former Archbishop, so she sent Sir Osney to kill him. Archbishop."

Count Matus frowned: "Miss Margaery, please forgive me, how did Lady Tanya find out such secrets? She is just a... bedmate of Cersei."

"Dear Earl, don't underestimate any bed partner."

Margaery chuckled and said slowly: "Because Cersei Lannister's insomnia was very serious, she gradually became addicted to alcohol... Lady Tanya told me that the lioness had become a bed long ago. A drunkard who talks about everything."

After a pause, Earl Matus moved his lips and said: "Miss Margery, thank you for your trust, but I have to remind you... This kind of secret can only be true if it is in your own hands. "Sword."

After looking at Count Matus' serious expression, Margaery smiled shyly and said in a relaxed tone: "But I also have to be honest with you. I trust you. This is very important. I need your help."

Count Matus stroked his chest and said, "I am at your disposal."

Margaery nodded slightly, paused, her skirt swirled, and she turned and walked towards the wine cabinet: "There are no secrets in the Red Keep. Cersei doesn't want me to become the queen. She even wants to destroy me."

Crash--Margery was in front of the wine cabinet, pouring wine, and said: "Her method is very direct. She has already found many witnesses..."

As she said that, she picked up two wine glasses and returned to Count Matus, shared one with him, smiled slightly, and continued: "She will accuse the king's fiancée of being unfaithful to the king to the Church of the Seven Gods, and maybe she will take advantage of it." The church judged my previous marriage to Renly and made me a traitor to the kingdom."

Count Matus clenched the body of the wine glass slightly and said: "Cersei's conspiracy will not succeed. The Church of the Seven Gods will never dare to judge Tyrell unless they are crazy."

Margaery sighed slightly, pressed her rose lips against the rim of the cup, took a sip of the golden wine from Qingting Island, and said: "Cersei has given the High Sparrow new powers, which makes them more courageous and possesses great powers. In terms of courage, there is no big difference between a monk and a madman."

Earl Matus was silent for a moment, nodded, and said: "Miss Margaery, for the sake of your safety, please allow me to escort you to Storm's End Castle to meet the Duke of Mace."

After a pause, his eyes flashed sharply: "Our army will make the lioness in the Red Keep understand that King Tommen's Iron Throne cannot be separated from the support of the rose."

"Lord Matus, this is a good idea, but I can't do it." Margaery moved towards the window and said as she walked: "As the future queen of the Seven Kingdoms, I can't leave hidden dangers for the Iron Throne. After all, Cersei is Tommen's mother, and Tommen loves her. And..."

Standing in front of the window, the dazzling sunlight made Little Rose squint her eyes, and continued: "Don't forget, Cersei still has Duke Green."

Lord Matus pondered for a moment and said: "Duke Green may not stand firmly on the side of Lannister. Now... He needs Rose's bread more."

Margaery turned her head to look at Matus and said: "At least we can't be sure of his position, right?"

Lord Matus closed his eyes for a while and opened them again, stroking his chest and said: "As long as you can guarantee your own safety, I will obey your orders."

"There will be no danger. No one dares to really hurt the daughter of the Duke of Highgarden." Margaery put her hands behind her back and walked over lightly.

"I can't express my gratitude for your concern for me in words, my dear Earl."

Margaery paused, then continued: "Within the rules of the game for nobles, no one will sympathize with the loser. So, I will follow the wishes of Queen Mother Cersei and accept the trial of the church."

Earl Matus shook his head and said: "I know Cersei's frame-up will not succeed, but you don't have to take the risk yourself, and..."

After a pause, he opened his mouth and continued: "Your short marriage with Renly is likely to become your... weakness."

Margaery nodded her chin in agreement: "Your worries are justified. Renly did not let me fulfill my responsibilities as a wife because of his special preferences... But like most noble ladies, my first time was taken away by the equestrian class, which is also Cersei Lan The reason why Nestor is so fearless is that she may think that this is enough evidence to frame me. "

Earl Matus frowned: "Since you have seen through her conspiracy, why do you still... choose to take risks?"

"I have learned about the new Archbishop, the High Sparrow. He is a pious and stubborn monk. The evidence that Cersei thinks is ironclad is not enough to convict me in a fair church trial."

Margaery's weak little face was barely mustered up courage: "And we have the real evidence that can convict Cersei of a crime. As long as you arrange for someone to reveal it to the High Sparrow at the right time."

The corners of her lips curved slightly: "Perhaps the proud lioness will pretend to pity me and come to the Great Sept to appreciate my embarrassment. What the High Sparrow really wants is for theocracy to override royal power. I don't think he will miss such a good opportunity. "
