The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Chapter 59 Prime Minister Tower Bedroom

Just after thinking about the food problem in Kleb's old land, Herschel started to have a headache about another issue in the territory.

As the reputation of the Thorn Legion grew, Krab's spearwives became more and more fierce in their actions.

Steward Hershel, who also serves as the governor of Mermaid Port, received reports from the Sheriff that several cases of spear women forcibly carrying away men had occurred in Mermaid Port.

With the operation of Mermaid Port, there are more and more outsiders every day, and the "injured" men are often these outsiders.

Facing the tough Kleb Spear Lady, most men would really be helpless.

The only thing that could comfort Hershel was that the men who were "injured" by the Spear Woman were too embarrassed to publicize their experiences everywhere, and they would take the initiative to keep their mouths shut, so that the reputation of Mermaid Harbor would not be affected for a while.

According to the lord's vision, most of the trade in Kleb's territory will be concentrated in Mermaid Port in the future.

Therefore, there can be no delay and must be dealt with in time. Sooner or later, Mermaid Harbor will be affected.

……………………

Herschel was no stranger to this kind of carrying behavior.

Because of the culture of carrying people, it has always existed in Kleib's territory.

According to the knowledge passed down orally from generation to generation in Herschel's family, in order to "adapt" to the aristocratic circle and improve the "image" of the territory, the previous generations of Kleb family owners have been deliberately managing this atmosphere of carrying people.

But the territory of Kleb at that time, which is now called the old land by Kleb, was vast and its residents were scattered. In addition, Kleb's ancestors were not good at governance, so it was always superficial. This trend still prevails privately.

It wasn't until after the Reaver War that Green's mother, Mrs. Kleb, led her people to move to the new land. After all the people who followed gathered together and issued an explicit prohibition, it was considered that there was a complete improvement.

Under Mrs. Crabb's more than ten years of governance, this custom has almost disappeared.

Now, as more and more savages are being absorbed into the territory of Kleb, this trend is showing signs of resurgence.

What makes Herschel feel embarrassed is that Mrs. Kleb only issued a territorial ordinance prohibiting "raping women", but not "robbing men"!

Thinking of Mrs. Crabb, Herschel felt that it was time to regulate Crabb's spear wives!

The spearwives' "robbing the men of the people" could only be restrained by the lord's personal order.

Before getting orders from Green, Butler Herschel could only urge the Sheriff to step up patrols. Butler Herschel picked up the quill again and added this incident under the content of the letter to Green.

……………………

The long royal forest hunting team was slowly heading south along the avenue.

Greene, who had just finished briefing Queen Cersei, who looked more beautiful than usual, on today's general itinerary, was riding alongside Lancel.

Although not as good as James, the handsome Lancel is also very popular with ladies and daughters.

Green, who was discriminated against by their region, was actually a little envious and jealous of Lancel.

Lancel kept smiling: "Greene, I feel like they are all secretly looking at me and talking to me deliberately. This feeling is very strange and wonderful!"

Green glanced at Lancel's little face, and he felt that the ladies should all like him.

Wonderful? Green thought maliciously whether he should make private arrangements to deliver the innocent Lancel into the mouths of noble ladies, leaving an indelible and wonderful memory in his life.

Hum hum!

Lancel lowered his voice and said: "Don't worry, Green, I will remember your warning and I will keep a good distance."

Green, who straightened his waist, nodded slightly: "I believe you can handle it."

Hearing the affirmation in Green's words, Lancel was very happy and nodded heavily.

……………………

Lancel raised his eyebrows and asked Green: "Green, how are you? I remember you don't have a fiancée yet, right? Yesterday, I saw you been patrolling the team, did you meet anyone who made you attracted?"

Green moved the horse rope slightly, adjusted the direction of the horse, and said: "They are not suitable for me, and I don't want to waste time."

Lancel's handsome face changed into a puzzled expression: "Isn't it appropriate?"

Green turned his head and looked at Lancel: "I just regained my family's old territory, and my territory will not be stable in a short time."

Lancel nodded slightly, and Green continued: "The royal nobles live as comfortably as sheep. Sheep's daughters cannot adapt to the mountains and forests full of wild beasts."

Lancel agreed very much. The Lannister family was like a pride of lions, and the royal family and nobles were just a flock of sheep in front of the Lannister family.

……………………

Alas, Green was right, his father would never have approved of him seeking a mate among the sheep.

Lancel felt that Green's marriage was not as easy as it seemed.

The innocent Lancel secretly felt sorry for Green. My sister was too young, otherwise they would definitely be suitable, and my father would be very satisfied with Green.

Lancel was referring to his biological sister, Jaina Lannister, who was born this year.

Lancel, who was sitting on the horse and thinking, had various expressions on his face, which were very rich.

Green was a little speechless. He felt that Lancel's generation of Lannisters had their own characteristics.

Red Fort, Prime Minister's Tower Bedroom.

The cheeks of Lord Jon Arryn, who was leaning on the bedside, became thinner and looked older.

Lord Petyr Baelish, the finance minister standing beside the bed, was reporting the kingdom's affairs to Lord Jon Arryn.

"Petyr, has His Majesty Robert not returned yet?"

Earl Petyr shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, the King is already on his way back."

Duke Jon sighed feebly and was silent for a while before he said: "Taxation... I won't ask about this. I believe you can handle it without me saying anything more. Petyr, you are trustworthy." people."

A decent smile appeared on Earl Petyr's face and he nodded in thanks.

"Petyr, you are someone I trust. Due to my physical condition, I have to think about my funeral in advance. Who do you think is suitable to take over as Prime Minister after me?"

Earl Petyr's eyes trembled slightly: "Your Excellency, Maester Pycelle promised me that you will get better soon."

Earl Petyr's words still comforted Duke Jon unconsciously.

Duke Jon nodded slightly: "Life is like the weather, unpredictable. I have to be prepared for everything and never be in a hurry. This is my responsibility."

Earl Petyr did not rush to answer Duke Jon's inquiry, but asked instead: "My lord, do you already have a candidate?"

After thinking for a while, Duke Jon said: "Well, there is one, but it's difficult. I know him, and I don't think he is willing to take over as Prime Minister. He doesn't like the atmosphere here, but he is the most suitable for His Majesty Robert. "

Is he most suitable for Lord Robert? Petyr's mind suddenly moved, and he had already guessed the identity of "him" mentioned by Duke Jon.
