The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

The shrewd Petyr felt that both he and Green had underestimated Lord Stannis's fighting ability.

Duke Jon's eyes were closed weakly at this time, and his breathing was very weak.

If Green were here, he might be more happy that Duke Jon died of illness directly due to the stimulation.

But what Petyr wanted was for Duke Jon to remain in bed so that he could continue to usurp the Prime Minister's power, not for him to die on the spot.

……………………

Petyr stood up, the usual elegant smile on his face had long disappeared, his eyes were fixed on Duke Stannis, and he said solemnly: "Duke Stannis, you have also seen that, I think today's conversation can be ended. "

Duke Stannis snorted coldly and said, "Petyr, do you think there is something wrong with what I said?"

Petyr shook his head slightly: "Duke Stannis, I am just the finance minister. I don't make any judgments."

Petyr didn't want to talk about right and wrong with Lord Stannis. He just wanted to send the person away immediately. Lord Jon needed a rest very much.

……………………

Stannis stood up from his chair, perhaps because of his tall stature, which made Petyr, who was of medium height, feel the pressure.

Lord Stannis said coldly: "The kingdom is controlled by mediocre people like you!"

Duke Stannis's eyes moved to Duke Jon, who was leaning on the back of his chair. His eyes were cold: "Weakness should not be an excuse to ignore the law! If you can't listen to my words, then think more about the kingdom." Just think about it.”

After Duke Stannis finished speaking, he glanced at Petyr again with his cold eyes, said nothing, saluted to Duke Jon, turned around neatly and left the Prime Minister's study.

……………………

After leaving the Prime Minister's Tower, Lord Stannis stood still and looked sharply in the direction of the throne room.

Lord Stannis felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart when he thought of King Robert's trusted ministers, but this feeling of weakness only passed away momentarily.

At least he's still here, Stannis is still there!

Lord Stannis took steps again, his steps were firm, his heart was iron, he was an unshakable person!

……………………

Not long after Stannis left, Lord Jon opened his eyes.

On the surface, Duke Jon seemed to be back to normal, but Petyr, who knew Duke Jon, could see at a glance that Duke Jon was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Petyr raised the corners of his lips in a subtle way. It seemed that Lord Stannis had stimulated Lord Jon quite a bit, and this was just right.

……………………

Duke Jon sighed, his voice full of fatigue: "Stannis, his temper is still the same, smelly and tough."

Petyr asked with a worried look: "Your Majesty, your body?"

Duke Jon took a breath and looked tired: "It seems that my government affairs have to be moved back to the bedroom again."

Petyr's figure was about to move: "I'll go ask Maester Pycelle..."

Duke Jon waved his hand feebly to stop Petyr, who had changed from his usual composure and looked anxious.

"Call Pycelle over at night when there are fewer people."

After hesitating for a moment, Petyr nodded silently in agreement.

"Petyr, don't pay attention to Stannis's words, he..."

Duke Jon thought for a while and then said: "Although he is smelly, hard, and easy to hate, he is hard to hate."

Duke Jon sighed again: "He is too paranoid about the law, and his men are all miserable."

After a pause, Duke Jon turned to Petyr and said: "Many people think that His Majesty Robert favored his younger brother and bestowed the title of Storm's End to Renly, but against Stannis who had done great service..."

"There is a reason for this. If the Stormlands are handed over to Stannis, with his harshness, Baratheon's vassals will soon be in chaos. The kingdom is in desperate need of stability at that time."

"According to His Majesty Robert, throwing the ill-tempered Stannis into Dragonstone is the best option. Surrounded by the sea, let him toss around as he pleases."

"Unfortunately, given His Majesty Robert's temper, he did not take comforting Stannis to heart later on, and the Baratheon brothers almost turned against each other."

"Petyr, I tell you this because I hope your eyes can see something deeper."

Petyr stroked his chest, nodded, and said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will remember your teachings."

……………………

In the forest, an officer in a gold robe named Stepan had an accident.

In a corner of the camp, Green glanced at the bloody gold-robed body and frowned slightly.

The first thing Green did when he looked back was to issue a hush order.

Although the death of Stepan the Golden Robe was an accident, it was a dead person after all, and if it was allowed to spread, it would easily make people panic.

"Did he get drunk and go deep into the jungle by himself?"

A man in a golden robe answered Green's question: "Yes, sir! Stepan is very strong and has excellent swordsmanship. Although he drank too much, we didn't take him to leave the camp seriously."

"Yes, he has always had a good drinking capacity. He used to sober up after going out for a walk."

"Yeah, none of us expected that he would go deep into the forest alone."

……………………

Green's eyes moved and he asked: "How did you find it? Were you still alive when you found it?"

A Lannister man in red robes replied loudly: "Lord Green, our team discovered it. According to your order, we are responsible for the security patrol in that area."

Green nodded slightly: "You did a good job. Tell me what happened at that time?"

"We rushed over immediately after hearing the noise, but when we arrived, Stepan was already dead. There was blood all over the ground. He was almost deformed after being hit by a wild boar."

……………………

Green nodded and turned his attention to the body on the ground again.

Green had a few simple contacts with Stepan, and in his impression Stepan looked really tall and strong.

By this time, Green had determined that the drunken Stepan had been attacked and killed by a wild boar.

Green shook his head slightly and secretly thought that it was a pity that Stepan was not very young yet and was already a middle-level officer. His future in the garrison should be good.

You must not enter the forest when you are drunk, even if you are...

King Robert's name suddenly flashed in Green's mind.

……………………

"Your Highness the Queen!"

"Your Highness the Queen!"

"Your Highness the Queen!"

Hearing movement in the distance, Green stopped thinking.

Queen Cersei, escorted by Jaime, was walking in the direction of Green.

Tsk, these two are out for a picnic again!

Everyone saluted, and Green stepped forward to report Stepan's death to Queen Cersei.

"Leave the rest of the matter to the garrison and let them handle it themselves."

Queen Cersei glanced at Green sideways and asked, "Is Stepan strong?"

Green's heart moved: "I have been in contact with him. Stepan is as strong as a cow."

Queen Cersei stared at the bloody "Stepan", her beautiful eyes were a little brighter than usual, but her face had no abnormal color.
