The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

The evening in King's Landing was not gloomy. Under the rays of the setting sun, it was stained with a thin layer of blush.

Junlin, Hook Alley.

At Green's signal, Samwell took out the key, clicked, and opened the lock on the door.

Didn't you mean the key that was picked up casually... Samwell was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and looked at Green.

Green shrugged.

This is Lannister-style cold humor. After Green came to King's Landing, he had been in contact with Lannister for the longest time and was already familiar with it.

As long as it is something linked to the golden dragon, the more valuable the thing is, the more insignificant the Lannisters will describe it.

Entering the courtyard, Green looked up at the three-story white building and said to James standing aside: "Sir James, it is indeed a small house."

Jaime Lannister smiled broadly and patted Green on the arm.

"Aha, isn't this our Baron Greene? Long time no see. Didn't the tenderness of the Reach fail to trap you there? Well... welcome to Kleb's new house."

Tyrion Lannister said as he walked over slowly.

If it weren't for his appearance, Green felt that Tyrion's appearance was quite classy.

James wondered: "Tyrion, how did you get in?"

After saying that, James also looked around the high walls of the house.

Tyrion's eyes also moved with James' gaze, and he suddenly said: "James, my brother, thank you for looking at me. That is my dream."

James spread his hands and asked, "Did I leave you here?"

Tyrion glanced at the unfamiliar Samwell, nodded slightly, walked up to Green and patted Green's... thigh.

"Dear Sir James, thank you for using euphemistic words to describe my unexpected appearance here. In fact, I want to tell you that I saw a lot of books in the study room of this house, and I accidentally became fascinated by them. When I came to my senses and went to look for you, I found that the door could not be opened. So, to be precise, I am the poor person left here by Lannister."

James smiled helplessly: "Sorry, I thought you had something to do and left first."

Tyrion grinned: "My height is easy for people to ignore. I may be suitable to be an assassin. Be careful, Jaime of the Kingsguard, Tyrion killers are everywhere."

James twitched the corners of his mouth and was not going to answer the question.

Green had long noticed that Samwell was impatient after hearing about the study.

Green smiled and said: "Sam, go and see where the study is, that will be your territory from now on."

Samwell, who looked excited, nodded his head and immediately took steps.

After walking a few steps, Samwell suddenly stopped, remembered something, scratched his head, and walked back again.

Samwell, perhaps out of nervousness, bowed awkwardly to Jaime and Tyrion before retiring.

Tyrion looked at Green, his tone full of doubt: "Green, your eyes tell me that you like him very much. He is the lover you brought in the River Bend? Congratulations, and I will never be with you again." I drank until I was unconscious in front of me.”

Green couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't worry, Lord Tyrion, he is my future advisor. Like you, he likes books and has a lot of knowledge in his mind."

"Aha, after hearing what you said, I suddenly fell in love with him. It seems that you have gained a lot this time, and you have an extra brain by your side."

Green spread his hands: "Well, he will tell me that before drawing the sword, I can say hello politely, which may achieve the same effect."

Tyrion grinned for a while, then suddenly lowered his voice and asked in a serious tone: "How is the Reach? Do you know what I'm asking?"

Tyrion is a serious person, but his enthusiasm also infected Green.

Green cooperated with Tyrion, deliberately paused for a while, and said: "The fields of Highgarden are filled with golden roses as far as the eye can see. The fruits are so sweet and ripe that they will explode in your mouth..."

Tyrion's face showed undisguised impatience.

Green raised his face and smiled, and continued: "The weather in the Reach is very hot. It's so hot that the girls in the Reach can't wear long clothes and only wear sleeveless shorts... When it's hot, it's even worse by the river. A landscape of white flowers.”

Tyrion then nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is the beauty of the Reach that I remember."

Green extended his hand to invite Jaime and Tyrion into the room.

Green and Jaime tacitly slowed down their pace, allowing Tyrion to walk alone at the front.

Green looked at James: There is no chance to talk today.

James looked back: It doesn't matter, don't rush now.

Behind Tyrion, Green and Jaime quietly completed the communication with their eyes.

…………

The waves in Shipbreaker Bay kept coming up and hitting the rocks, leaving circles of white foam.

Stormlands, outside of Storm's End.

Brienne is the only surviving child of Lord Selwyn Tarth of Duskhall. She lives on the island of Tarth, close to the Narrow Sea and the Stormlands.

Brienne's father, Lord Selwyn Tarth, had always wanted to find a suitable marriage partner for Brienne. Although this was not an easy task, Selwyn found three men for her daughter, three men who were interested in Brienne's inheritance.

Brienne has been unusually tall since she was a child, and her figure is as strong as any man's.

Brienne loves to wield swords and dreams of becoming a knight when she grows up.

Brienne is innocent and straightforward, but a little willful and stubborn.

When the third betrothal partner had three bones broken by Brienne, Lord Selwyn stopped trying to find a marriage partner for Brienne and sent his daughter to Storm's End to be taught combat skills by Sir Goodwin. .

Brienne and Ser Goodwin learned how to fight with swords more skillfully, and how to fight in plate armor.

The period of studying with Ser Goodwin was a rare happy time for Brienne.

However, Sir Goodwin died of illness.

"You have the strength of a man, but the heart of a woman. It's one thing to train in the yard with a blunt sword. It's another to plunge a foot-long sword into someone's belly and watch the light fade from their eyes. Something else.”

"On the battlefield, a moment is equal to a lifetime. I saw the man pull out the dagger and insert it into the gap between my friend's armor. His strength, his speed, his bravery, all the skills acquired through hard training... are not as good as The actor's fart. All because he cowered when it was time to kill him."

Brienne recalls Ser Goodwin's teachings to her.

…………

When Green was in the Kingswood, he also thought about Brienne, the beauty of Tarth.

Most men in Westeros, and even women, have a negative attitude towards women holding swords, and Brienne's situation is definitely worse than those Green knew.

This is also the reason why Green did not bring a female warrior from the Crab Claw Peninsula with him when he came to King's Landing, because there is no need to act independently when the strength is weak, which will only cause unnecessary trouble.

Unless Green's ambition is limited to the Crab Claw Peninsula, the Kleb family must go beyond the Crab Claw Peninsula and improve everyone's inherent impression of the Crab Claw Peninsula. It is also an important task that cannot be ignored.

The special environment of the Crab Claw Peninsula has created the Thorn Corps, which is dominated by Spearwomen. Green feels that this stage will have great appeal to Brienne.

Green hopes that Brienne, who is strong in combat skills, straightforward and loyal, can join the Thorns Corps and, at the right time, walk out of the Crab Claw Peninsula with the Thorns Corps and win her own reputation.

But he knew that the current girl Brienne was pregnant and secretly in love with her lord, Renly Baratheon, Duke of Storm's End.

Brienne's character would not leave the Stormlands until the right time came.

…………

Samwell's sudden addition made Green change some of his thoughts.

It was later learned that Samwell was forced by Tara and Dickon to accompany them to watch the ring challenge held by Green.

It was this coincidence that made Green and Samwell meet.

It was also the acquaintance of the two that prevented Samwell from being forced by his father to put on black clothes and join the Night's Watch like in the original plot, but instead chose to leave Horn Hill Castle and join the Green camp.

Therefore, Green arranged some things in advance on his way back to King's Landing. For example, he sent Ange, who was relatively eloquent among the guards, to contact Brienne in advance.

…………

Ange was entrusted with an "important task" by Green, which made him very excited.

Ange felt that he was one step closer to the day when he would be canonized as a knight by the lord.

Angai had some information provided by Greene and his experience as a mercenary. After arriving at Storm's End, he could easily find out where Brienne was.

[Green’s source of information was that he overheard it while hunting in the royal forest]

Brienne is extremely tall, her face is round and rough, covered with freckles, a row of protruding teeth, her mouth is horribly wide, and her lips are very fat... Although her hair is golden, it is like dirty straw. Fragile and dry.

This was Ange's first impression of Brienne.

…………

Brienne spent most of her life living in the ridicule of others, and at best... she only received a little pity from others.

Because of Renly, the maiden Brienne once tried to dress herself according to the standards of a noble lady, but because of her unfeminine appearance and lack of coordination in her attire, she received more ridicule from everyone.

Brienne gave up her womanly attire in frustration and resumed her familiar male warrior attire, continuing to suffer from the contempt and discrimination based on gender around her.

Due to the influence of these factors, Brienne not only looks clumsy in appearance, but also has a dull personality.

Ange was not in a hurry to contact Brienne, but was observing in secret while looking for a suitable meeting occasion.

Ange, who was observing secretly, witnessed Brienne, a tall and round-waisted man, challenging a swordsman who had made rude remarks to the late Sir Goodwin in private amid the laughter of everyone.

Brienne's sword skills were wide open and closed. Although she lacked a bit of skill, she seemed to be full of explosive power.

Anguy felt that Brienne's swordsmanship style was very similar to Cleber's fighting style, which pursued killing with one blow.

The dull Brienne seemed to be a completely different person after entering the battle. During the battle, she shined with the most confident light.

An Gai couldn't help but think of Mengton Weishui, who was usually honest and honest, but became like a ferocious beast when entering the battle.

Brienne is a born warrior.

…………

The battle was quickly and neatly ended by Brienne.

The crowd dispersed with boos, leaving only the swordsman lying on the ground unable to get up, but still cursing.

Ange found the right moment, kicked the person unconscious, and said friendly to Brienne: "Good day, Lady Brienne."

Ange's words made Brienne pause for a moment.

Brienne ignored Ange who took the initiative to say hello, sheathed her sword and stepped away.

Brienne's reaction immediately stumped Ange.

Ange thought about his mission and followed Brienne.

An Gai, who was a natural archer, was not impatient and followed silently.

Finally, Brienne stopped and looked at Ange: "What's your name?"

Brienne spoke in a low, husky voice like a man's.

An Gai touched his chest and said, "My name is An Gai, and I am the personal bodyguard of Baron Kleib."

Brienne's hand holding the sword hilt moved slightly and said, "I feel like you should be very powerful..."

An Gai thought to himself, are you going to fight with me?

"But I don't want to get married."

Brienne's next words made Ange freeze there.

A gust of wind blew by, making Brienne's hair even more messy.

An Gai, who has a strong psychological quality, covered his mouth and coughed dryly, and said: "Madam, please don't misunderstand me. I came here specifically to see you on the order of the lord."

Brienne changed her stance and said, "Baron Kleb?"

An Gai nodded and said: "Yes, madam. Our territory has a regiment composed entirely of women, called the Thorn Corps. Our lord is in the imperial forest and heard about you by accident."

Brienne's expression was stiff, and Ange couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he could only continue to speak: "If one day the lady has the idea of ​​going out for a visit, Baron Green Clayburgh sincerely invites you to join Clayber's Thorn Corps. .”

Brienne was silent for a while, nodded, and said: "I understand, I will remember it, please thank Baron Greene Crab for me."

After saying that, Brienne turned around and took steps forward.

Seeing Brienne leave simply, Angai raised his voice uneasily: "Ms. Brienne! The name of the captain of the Thorn Corps is Emparro! She will be canonized as a knight soon! You will be invited to watch the canonization ceremony when the time comes. !”

Brienne stopped and glanced sideways at Ange.

Although there was a slight distance, Ange, who had excellent eyesight, could still see Brienne's expression clearly.

The corners of his lips moved and his jaw clicked.

An Gai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

…………

Crabb's mansion on Hook Lane at night.

Boom, boom, boom.

After receiving a response, Mengton Weishui entered the study with a basin of meat.

"Good night, Lord Samwell."

Samwell Tarly raised his head from the book, looked at the honest Munton, and said with a smile: "Good night, Munton, you can just call me Sam."

Mengton smiled naively, placed the pot filled with barbecue gently next to Samwell, and said: "Sam, I treat you to some meat."

Samwell smiled shyly, expressed his gratitude, grabbed a piece of meat, put it into his mouth and chewed it.

Munton looked at Samwell with a naive expression.

Samwell swallowed the meat in his mouth, wiped his hands, and said, "Mengton, what do you want from me?"

Mengton nodded his head, smiled again, and then said: "Sam, I want to ask you, how can I be a good corps leader?"

Munton has a very outstanding intuition, which tells him that Samwell knows many things that ordinary people do not understand.

Having been on the road all the time, Menton couldn't find a chance to ask Sam for advice.

Tonight, after finding an opportunity, Menton, in order to show his sincerity, brought out what was of the highest quality to him, a pot of roasted lamb.

Although Samwell did not dare to wield the sword himself, in order to gain his father's approval, he carefully studied all the military books on Horn Hill Castle.

Samwell thought seriously for a while and said: "Monton, the first task of the regiment commander is to lead the regiment to defeat the enemy. I think you can learn from His Majesty Robert. His Majesty Robert's invincible war hammer is the guarantee of the army's victory."

Samwell lowered his voice and said: "At the Battle of the Trident, King Robert killed Prince Rhaegar with his warhammer, bringing a decisive victory."

Battle of the Trident? what is that? Who is Rhaegar?

Mengton scratched his head and said: "Sam, do you mean to find an opportunity to kill the enemy's leader, so that you can win?"

"Yes, this is the method that I think is more suitable for you."

Mengton said naively: "Sam, this seems to be similar to the way I used to fight. When I fight, I like to keep an eye on the enemy's leader. As long as I can't run away, they can't stop me."

Samwell was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you so powerful?"

Samwell hurriedly explained: "I don't doubt your strength. I discovered that you are very strong on the way..."

Mengton shook his head and said, "I didn't misunderstand you. Do I have to find a chance to show you how I fight?"

Samwell agreed: "This is the best. I will study it carefully and then tell you."

"Sam, you eat meat...tell me what else does the regiment commander know besides fighting?"
