The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Martial said: "Jeffreys has been begging me, hoping to meet you."

Green stopped walking and his brown eyes moved slightly: "Do you know his purpose?"

Martier first shook his head, and then nodded: "My lord, I guess he did it for his son. Jeffries was born in old age. He only has a 5-year-old son. There is no one after his death." The fate of the sheltered businessman’s son can be imagined, this is my guess.”

Green did not speak. Jeffries's leather transactions with Whispering City have become more and more frequent recently, but it was always Butler Hershel who came forward. Green only talked a few times when Jeffries came to see him on the ship last time. It's just a sentence, not familiar at all.

Without familiarity, there is no trust.

If according to Martial's guess, a dying old father would entrust his child to an unfamiliar person?

Suddenly, Green shook his head secretly and laughed at himself. He had been dealing with many insidious people recently, and he was easily influenced to become suspicious.

Things should be classified into big and small. Don't habitually bring anything into conspiracy theories without further information. Excessive suspicion is a symptom of anxiety disorder.

……………………

Green asked: "Where is he?"

Martier scratched his head with his index finger and lowered his head: "His carriage is nearby. Jeffries has always emphasized the friendship he established with Whispering Castle during the transaction and his admiration for the adults. I can't get rid of him. He The injury was so serious, I was embarrassed to chop him."

As he spoke, Martial secretly raised his eyes to look at Green's face.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages, because the family rules, in order to give birth to an heir, locked up Martier too harshly.

Martial only looks mature on the outside and lacks the accumulation of experience.

Businessmen deal with all kinds of people every day, and their rich experience has given them a vicious eye. Jeffries has already seen through Martial's innermost feelings, otherwise he would not dare to rely on Martial.

But Martial is a descendant of Kleb's retainer knight, and Green can only train him slowly.

Green said with a straight face: "Go and bring him in."

Mathil also felt that he had handled the matter badly, so he went to call someone in dejection.

……………………

The afternoon sun was a bit dazzling, so Green asked Menton to bring a chair and found a shady place to sit down.

Today, it was discovered that eavesdropping on the mezzanine was discovered in the study room of the Prime Minister's Tower. It seemed that the old Duke Jon was not affected, but he was certainly not as calm as he appeared inside. It would be impossible for anyone to face this matter calmly.

The aftermath of the incident in the prime minister's study has become unpredictable.

……………………

Green then thought of Lord Stannis Baratheon, his second brother who was not favored by King Robert.

If he hadn't heard Martier mention pirates and the royal fleet today, Green would have almost ignored Stannis Baratheon, the overly selfless Duke of Dragonstone.

Well, Stannis Baratheon seems to have attributes that are easily overlooked.

If the fact that today's respected Prime Minister Jon, the old Lord Jon, wanted to convict a baron with just a song without direct evidence reached the ears of Lord Stannis Baratheon, who is meticulous about the law. What will happen there?

Also, according to Green's memory, Lord Stannis Baratheon was very dissatisfied with his role as Sea Lord.

He was also very dissatisfied with King Robert for neglecting him and letting Robert's preferred third brother Renly Baratheon succeed him as Duke of Storm's End and serve as Minister of Justice.

During the War of the Reavers, Stannis Baratheon clearly made a lot of contributions, but he was sealed on Dragonstone, which only had black stones. Instead, the ancestral castle of the Baratheon family was sealed to three people who had no merit at all. Brother Renly Baratheon.

In the character of Stannis Baratheon, dissatisfaction has turned into the flames of hatred.

……………………

Green calculated in his mind the possibility of angering the weak old Duke Jon to death without having to step in directly.

You can't be angry to death, but you also have to make it impossible for him to get out of bed. Old Duke Jon is very stubborn and cannot let Green off easily.

There are no permanent enemies in Game of Thrones, only permanent interests. In this matter, Green thought of a natural ally.

The clatter of horses' hooves, mixed with the creak of wheels, drove the carriage through the gate and slowly into the yard where Green was.

The carriage stopped in front of Green. Martial scratched his head and said with embarrassment: "Sir, Jeffries can't get off the carriage."

Green waved his hand angrily: "If you can't get off, then you can't get off. Open the car door."

After Green finished speaking, before Martial could take action, a thin and dark middle-aged man who had been sitting next to the coachman and saluted Green from a distance got out of the car and opened the door.

As soon as the car door opened, Green, who was not far away, smelled a rotten smell.

Jeffries, whose face was flushed not long ago, leaned against the carriage seat with a pale face.

After struggling to see Green's appearance, Jeffries finally spoke: "Dear Sir, please forgive me for taking the liberty of coming."

Jeffries' voice was very weak: "After I was hit by the arrow, I felt that I would not be able to escape this time. All mortals are mortal. I am not afraid of death, but I can't worry about my youngest son."

After a pause, Jeffries gathered his energy and continued: "During the pain and torture, I thought of all my relatives and friends, and I despairedly found that there was no one to rely on. Thanks to the gift of the Seven Gods, I, a humble man, have the honor to know Got you."

Jeffries looked at Green with hope: "You are well-known for being loved by the people. Although the time of contact is short, I feel that you have compassion for the weak. I can only beg you to forgive a dying father for The young son is desperate.”

Regardless of his physical injuries, Jeffries slid off the seat with difficulty.

Jeffries was half lying on his stomach and raised his face covered in cold sweat: "I am willing to give all my family property with both hands, just begging you to protect my son."

Green sighed secretly and asked, "Where is your son?"

The thin, dark middle-aged man who had opened the carriage door earlier took a little boy's hand and walked out from behind the carriage.

The chubby little boy must have just finished crying. His little eyes were red and swollen.

Green reached out and touched the chubby boy's head: "What's your name?"

The little fat boy was too timid to speak.

The thin black man who had been holding one hand of the chubby boy said quickly: "The noble nobleman, his name is Darius."

Green touched the top of Darius' head again and said to Jeffries: "Jeffreys, your perseverance as a father has moved me. Your son Darius will become Kleib's retainer knight Mason Baker." adopted son."
