The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

It's approaching noon, and the red sun is getting hotter.

While Green was waiting for the next challenger, Steward Russell came over in a hurry.

"My master, the next challenger must fight you with a spear."

Green raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Which family do you belong to?"

"He is a member of the Klein family. It is said that he is the brother of the Klein swordsman who was defeated by you yesterday."

Green's brown eyes moved and he said: "For the duel between swordsmen, if he insists on using a spear, he can do it. He has to pay extra and charge him 100 golden dragons."

Russell nodded and left in a hurry.

………………

Not long after, a Klian spearman who looked to be in his late thirties walked onto the ring with a dark face.

Standing opposite Green, Klian Challenger pulled down his visor.

Wuwuwu~~The horn sounded to indicate the start of the game.

Klein's spearman took advantage of the length of his spear and took the lead in stabbing Green.

The long sword in Green's hand moved, with a clang, he slapped the long sword aside and rushed forward.

Green's movements were very swift, and by the time his opponent could react, he was already in front of him.

With a thud, Green's shoulder hit the Klian spearman's chest.

Klein's spearman suddenly lost his balance and was about to fall backwards.

With a bang, Green raised the hammer of his long sword and slammed it into his opponent's faceplate.

After a muffled sound, the Klian spearman, whose mask was slightly deformed, lay on his back on the ground motionless.

Green said coldly: "Carry it down!"

This is an honorable swordsman duel, all the bells and whistles are required to come up with a spear.

He just received a little more challenge money, but he dared to show Green his face.

The open-minded Green, for the sake of the purity of the game and the honor of the swordsmen, would naturally end the battle neatly.

No one values ​​honor more than Baron Green.

………………

Green looked up at the sun and made a gesture.

Steward Russell, who received Green's signal, immediately loudly announced the end of the morning's challenge.

Green walked off the ring and saw the three brothers and sisters of the Tully family.

Steward Russell had already reported to Green that the Tully family wanted to meet.

Green seemed invincible in the ring.

After getting off the ring, Green had a delicate and gentle face, which made it easy for people to like him.

Green took the initiative to caress his chest and said, "Good day, His Excellency Samwell Tarly."

Samwell, who has a fat body and a lot of beard, has a shy smile: "Good day, Baron Green Kleb. This is my sister, Tara Tully."

Tara Talley, who is as young as a flower, has clear eyes, fair skin, and is not stunningly beautiful but very attractive.

Green looked at Tara Talley and said politely: "Good day, Miss Tara Talley, your arrival has made this place more glorious."

Tara Tully's little face was a little shy, she lifted her skirt slightly and said, "Good day, Baron Greene Kleb, thank you for your compliment."

Green nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Samwell's brother: "Good day, Lord Dickon Tarly."

Dickon Tully looked at Greene with bright eyes, and his salute was very standard: "Good day, Baron Greene Crab, I admire you very much!"

Green smiled with humility and encouraged: "I believe that you will also be an excellent swordsman in the future."

After completing the tedious exchange of greetings, Green invited the three Samwell brothers and sisters to have lunch together.

…………

The Red Keep, Maegor's Tower.

Early this morning, Queen Cersei had another big quarrel with King Robert.

By this time, Queen Cersei's anger had subsided.

Queen Cersei was holding the wine glass and frowning, seemingly lost in thought.

She could no longer stand King Robert.

For Queen Cersei, every time King Robert seeks pleasure, every time he is an insult to her.

And, most importantly, her Joffrey has grown up.

Queen Cersei, who claims to be the true successor of the old lion Tywin Lannister, wants to prepare a perfect plan like her father to get rid of King Robert, who makes her sick.

After calming down and thinking about it for a long time, Queen Cersei felt that there was still no more reliable strategy than letting Jaime personally assassinate.

It’s best not to leave any clues about this kind of thing!

Queen Cersei was thinking that Jaime had a weak character and liked to be cautious, so it would take a lot of time to convince him.

Cousin Lancel is now King Robert's squire... Queen Cersei curled her lips and drank up the summer red in the wine glass in one gulp.

…………

…………

Red Fort, Prime Minister's Tower.

In order to cooperate with the seriously ill Duke Jon in handling the kingdom's government affairs, Finance Minister Petyr Baelish moved his office to the Prime Minister's Tower.

Petyr sat at the table as motionless as a statue, with only his gray-green eyes moving slightly from time to time.

Petyr was a man who was good at summarizing, and he now had to admit that Baron Green from the Crab Claw Peninsula had taught him a lesson in strategy.

………………

The valley would be within Petyr's possession sooner or later.

What Petyr is thinking about now is the issue of ruling after he gets the valley.

The golden dragon may be able to buy loyalty, but this loyalty is unreliable, because it will backstab you for the golden dragon.

Petyr often uses golden dragons to buy people he needs, so he knows this very well.

………………

Petyr's family was not a traditional military aristocracy. It lacked auxiliary families that were both capable of fighting and loyal and reliable. It also lacked military leaders who only recognized their own lords.

In the absence of this kind of family heritage in Westeros, even if Petyr had an army, it would be difficult to control him, and it would be easy for him to be bribed by his opponents.

Without military deterrence, even if he gets the valley, he will be restricted by the valley nobles.

He had to be careful at all times, as he was assassinated by a barbaric noble due to a conflict of interests.

………………

This is not the result he wants.

Petyr has learned specifically in the past few days that the hatred between Green's forces and the nobles of the valley has been accumulated for a long time, and it can be said that it is almost impossible to resolve.

Therefore, Green is a reliable natural ally to a certain extent in dealing with the nobles of the valley.

Petyr was thinking that the Crab Claw Peninsula was in a good location, and he might be able to use Green's army to restrain the nobles of the valley.

With constraints, a certain balance can be achieved and he can control the situation.

In this case, Petyr would have enough time to deal with the disobedient valley nobles while gaining their loyalty.

In the end, Petyr will leave the valley nobles who are only loyal to him, take complete control of the valley, and become the true master of the valley.

Petyr narrowed his eyes slightly. This was a large-scale transaction.

For this large-scale transaction, Petyr needs to accurately calculate Baron Green's needs and weaknesses.

Although the contact between the two was short, Petyr believed that Green was as shrewd as him.

Petyr felt like making an offer that Green couldn't refuse.
