The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Isn’t it just ordering bread?

Mace Tyrell, who was still immersed in the praise of everyone, instinctively wanted to wave his hand, but... his body was stunned.

He suddenly remembered his daughter's instructions. Matus Rowan's speech at today's royal meeting was actually a small test by the Tyrell family against Regent Green.

"this………"

Prime Minister Mace retracted his hand slightly unnaturally and slowly stroked his beard. He couldn't help but think about Margaery's guess about Green's "secret".

While he was thinking about it, he hesitated and said, "Please allow me to think about it."

Pycelle's cloudy eyes widened slightly, and he looked at the Prime Minister with a slightly surprised look. Is this the elegant and "generous" Duke of Highgarden? His eyes couldn't help but move to the direction of the main seat.

Green first motioned to the shy young man from the Western Region to pour him wine, and then said: "I think Prime Minister Mace's achievements are high enough."

Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and he smiled slightly: "I mean a period of time in the future. We are all our own people, and there are some things I have actually thought about for a long time... Well, just think of it as my kind reminder, Everyone."

Green's brown eyes slowly swept across the people present, and then said: "We are about to welcome back Princess Targaryen, and the free rose bread is sweet, and people's desires are insatiable. If most of our people are used to free Bread, I’m worried that this will embarrass our Princess.”

He looked at Prime Minister Mace: "Moreover, this can easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings, such as...in comparison, will the people of King's Land love another generous and kind person more?"

Another person? !

The eyes of everyone present secretly moved. Prime Minister Metz paused while stroking his beard, and felt an inexplicable thump in his heart.

After a pause, Green continued in a gentle tone: "Of course, we cannot prevent the people from loving the people they like, but the duty of the Imperial Council is to guide this correctly."

He seemed to be joking: "For example, we can't just watch the 400,000 people in King's Landing love a traitor to the kingdom like Stannis, right?"

Cough cough cough.

After the regent finished speaking, the finance minister covered his mouth and coughed a few times. A decent smile appeared on his face and said: "Yes, good people need the guidance of the king and the royal council to avoid, uh, avoid... "

Seeing that he still couldn't find the right words, Princess Arianne said: "To avoid being misled and..."

She glanced at Tyrell with her clear black and white eyes and grinned: "... Bribery."

"You!" Prime Minister Metz's face turned red and his cheeks bulged.

Green smiled helplessly and raised his hand to interrupt the Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice who were arguing again.

“I raise this matter here because I have recognized Prime Minister Metz’s pure kindness to the people. Rose bread has saved countless helpless people. This is an undeniable fact. This is why I hope to hold a banquet to praise him. One of the important reasons for outstanding contributions.”

After a slight pause, Green's eyes scanned the crowd again. He continued: "I raise this matter with you just to prevent the good deeds from being misunderstood and used by people with good intentions. We shoulder the safety of the entire kingdom, and the act of eliminating hidden dangers in advance is both loyalty and honor. And..."

Green looked at Prime Minister Metz again: "...The king dreams, and the prime minister builds his dream. The trust between the king and the prime minister is extremely important, and it is directly related to the stability of the seven countries."

Facing Green's usual gaze, Prime Minister Metz felt his eyelids twitch. He paused and said quietly: "Then... Green, what should I do?"

"..." Although Count Matus, who was sitting next to him, tried his best to control his facial expression, he still couldn't hide his look of helplessness. The drama in the Reach could no longer continue.

His eyes couldn't help but turn to the direction of the throne. He felt that it might not be a wise choice to act in front of such a powerful regent.

Perhaps, as long as Grimm Kleb is alive, it would be wise for the Reach to avoid conflict as much as possible.

His eyes moved to the Duke of Highgarden who was already a little restless, at least while Mace Tyrell was still alive.

However, with the wisdom of the regent, he must have noticed Tyrell's little move. What would he do? Matus Rowan's eyes moved to the main seat again.

In the eyes of everyone, Green is still close to Prime Minister Metz, and his voice is comforting: "Now that the neglected problem has been discovered, it is no longer a difficult matter. You don't need to worry about causing misunderstandings, my Prime Minister." ”

After a moment of pause, he emphasized: "The friendship between Marigold and Golden Rose has always been extremely solid. This is known to all the seven countries. I hope that this precious friendship can last forever, for us and for the kingdom." "

After Green's words fell, Mace couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In fact... he didn't know why he was suddenly so nervous.

When Tyrell was about to speak, Princess Arianne's slut-like voice came over first: "Your Highness, to be honest, I, Martell, can't help but be jealous of Rose."

Green looked at her for a moment and said in a joking tone: "No need to envy, Arianne Nameros Martell, my brother."

Arianne glanced at Green and then said nothing.

Green's brown eyes met everyone present: "Currently, the Kleb-Tyrell-Martell alliance is the cornerstone of peace in the kingdom, and you are the pillars of the kingdom. And..."

The corners of his lips curved slightly: "......Don't forget, we are our own people."

Jie Jie Jie, Pycelle took the lead in making flattering laughter, and the serious royal meeting was soon filled with all kinds of laughter.

After a while, Green raised his hand and pressed it down. When it calmed down, he said: "Everyone, cleaning up King's Landing is only the first step. I hope that our Targaryen princess lives in the best city in the world. First of all, the cobblestone roads and The stone road is paved..."

Greene presented the Westeros version to all the royal ministers - work-for-relief, and started a large-scale city "renovation" project.

This requires investing a huge amount of gold dragons, and the gold mines in the Western Region are enough for Lord Green to "squander".

Moreover, before heading north to fight zombies, he also needed a reasonable excuse to stock up on food.

…………

Bang bang bang.

As Grand Maester Pycelle hammered the planks, the Prince Regent's merciful proposal passed unanimously.

When leaving, Prime Minister Metz looked back at the Martell woman who was left behind by Green, and said majestically to Count Matus who was following him: "What do you think? If those plans are to go smoothly, they cannot do without the golden dragon. But now the income from the royal treasury is barely enough to maintain the expenses of the Red Castle and the garrison. Could it be that Green...the regent intends to borrow money from outside the country in the name of the royal family? "

"..." Earl Matus sighed secretly. Apart from boasting about his art of war and his big appetite, Duke Mace Tyrell is generally a qualified lord of the Reach, and his children They are truly outstanding. However, under the light of the lord of another land - Green Kleb, his lord became increasingly eclipsed, and what were once advantages have now become almost fatal weaknesses, such as... Too obsessed with a false reputation that has no real benefits.

While Prime Minister Mace was enjoying the compliments of the nobles and the cheers of the people, Regent Green firmly controlled the military power of King's Landing by "disintegrating" the original King's Landing garrison.

Then, while celebrating the Prime Minister's achievements in the name of justice, he initiated good governance that truly took care of hundreds of thousands of people in King's Landing.

Count Matus seemed to have foreseen the day when the regent's prestige would rise.

He moved his lips but did not directly answer the Feng Jun's question: "Sir, His Highness the Regent's purpose is also to do charity for the people. However, it will be more loved by them than free rose bread."

Prime Minister Metz was stunned and blurted out: "How is this possible?"

Yes, how is this possible.

And how many people can understand the "new stage" created by the Prince Regent...

Earl Matus couldn't help but sigh. On such a wonderful stage, he was destined to be a spectator, not a participant, because he was a vassal of the Reach.

His thoughts were complicated and he said as he walked: "I think Lannister's gold mines are enough to support His Highness the Regent's plan."

Hearing this, Prime Minister Metz paused slightly. He looked around and lowered his voice unconsciously: "Matus, there are a lot of gold mines in the Western Region."

Although the prince did not say it clearly, Count Matus already understood what he was thinking. The regent who controls the Golden Tooth City has regarded the Lannister legacy as his own food. If the Reach wants to get involved at this time, it will have to go to war and defeat the powerful Kleb army, which is famous in the Seven Kingdoms.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

Count Matus was not too worried. Although his lord was a bit greedy, as long as he understood the difficulties and risks involved, he would not be too insistent. This was one of the few advantages of the Duke of Highgarden.

When they passed through the thick door of the throne room, they were greeted by the green-robed Tyrell guards waiting outside.

First, he signaled them to be alert, and then Matus said: "My lord, the gold mines in the West belong to Cersei's inheritance. Strictly speaking, Regent Green is legally 'inheriting' them. If we reach out there at this time, , will affect the friendship between Tyrell and Kleb, and...according to the offensive and defensive alliance agreement between the two companies, this move is tantamount to betraying the alliance. "

Prime Minister Mace's expression froze for a moment, and then he laughed heartily: "It's just a few gold mines, how can they compare with the wealth of the Reach."

As he spoke, he suddenly sighed: "The Western Territory not only has gold mines, but also a lot of mess left by Tywin. Green will not be easy."

Count Matus nodded slightly: "You have a burning gaze, my lord."

Prime Minister Mace stroked his beard proudly. Count Matus frowned, hesitated, and then said: "Perhaps we should consider the situation of the Seven Kingdoms after welcoming back Princess Targaryen. I don't think the regent will give in easily. Without the power of the Red Keep, the Reach will soon face an important choice."

Thinking of the signed Tyrell-Cleb Alliance, he frowned deeper: "Princess Targaryen is weak and weak. Facing the strong and powerful regent, if she does not get strong support from others, she will You can only play the role of queen.”

Upon hearing Count Matus's speculation, Prime Minister Metz's fat face froze again. They did not reveal Margaery's speculation to the people in front of them.

The Duke of Metz pondered for a moment, and then pulled the loyal Earl of Rowan aside. After a pause, he whispered: "I have a speculation... Is it possible that what Green did was to marry Princess Targaryen?" , wear a king's crown for yourself? Do you think it is possible, Matus?"

Hearing this, Count Matus' pupils suddenly narrowed involuntarily.

…………

In the throne room, after the others left, Princess Arianne leaned against the armrest, tilted her head and looked at Green, smiling: "What do you want, Your Highness the Regent, my brother?"

After that, she raised her slender right leg and supported it on her left knee, and the white skirt slowly slid down, and her olive skin exuded a different charm.

Green smiled and sighed: "I remember we agreed not to seduce anymore."

"Don't you think of me as a man?" Princess Arianne looked up and down at Green suspiciously, and asked: "Is this my problem, dear Regent?"

Green shrugged and ended the topic. Then he left the chair, picked up the wine pot and wine glass and came to Arianne's side.

Hualala————

Princess Arianne looked at Green who was pouring wine into her glass, with a vigilant look on her face: "I found that every time you are intimate with me, you have other purposes."

Green glanced at her and said calmly: "Why don't you doubt that this is my respect for you, lady?"

Princess Arianne giggled, and her huge and full body trembled: "Recently, it is rumored in King's Landing that the Regent's tongue is the sharpest sword in King's Landing. I have inquired about it. This rumor started to spread after you met with the merchants in Stormland some time ago."

Putting down the wine pot, Green leaned on the edge of the table, facing her, and said: "They may have misunderstood my good intentions."

He took a sip of summer red and said: "Arianne, I hope to buy Dorne's excess grain, the more the better."

Princess Arianne stared at his eyes for a while, and said puzzledly: "Grain from the River Bay... Oh, do you have other purposes?"

"Price."

Green gently shook the golden wine glass in his hand: "The more choices I have, the more reasonable the price of food can be."

Princess Arianne tilted her head slightly: "Just this reason?"

Green took another sip of wine and replied: "I will build a large number of granaries for the crown and the riverlands and fill them up to cope with the long winter."

Princess Arianne frowned slightly, she was silent for a while, and said: "Hasn't the Citadel sent out the white crows yet?"

[The white crows raised in the Citadel are only used to convey the news of seasonal changes to the Seven Kingdoms]

Green shrugged slightly: "If we wait for the white crows to fly, everything will be too late. The temperature drop in the morning and evening is becoming more and more obvious. I must prepare in advance. This is my responsibility as the regent of the Seven Kingdoms."

Princess Arianne paused, nodded, and said: "If the white crows appear, you can imagine the soaring food prices."

Green also nodded: "That will cause another great turmoil. Arianne, if Dorne can help me, I can ask you to recommend a royal minister."
