The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Three days later, Crab Claw Peninsula.

The first person to receive the news was Maester Al, who was in charge of the messenger crow in Kleb's territory.

Earl of Whispering Castle... Bachelor Al grinned, showing his few teeth, and handed the letter to the excited Kalea with trembling hands.

"Child, go and hand it over to Butler Herschel immediately."

"Maester Al, I'll be right over."

After explaining, Bachelor Al moved tremblingly to the table and sat down.

The conscientious Maester Al needed to record it, so he opened the book recording the history of the Kleb family and solemnly picked up the quill.

Bachelor Al, who seemed to be several years younger, thought for a while, smiled, and waved the quill...

In the year 297 of the Westeros calendar, the young lord opened a new chapter for the Kleb family.

…………

Mason Baker and Per Pili, who were discussing matters together, received news from Hershel's steward at the same time.

Mason and Per, both retainer knights, their eyes collided, and the fire crackled.

After getting over their excitement, they both stared at the map placed on the long table.

Mason and Pell thought together, I need more military merit!

…………

In the camp of the leader of the Thorn Corps, Amparo pushed away Reina who was almost hanging on his body with a look of disgust.

In the Thorn Corps camp, the cheers of the Thorn soldiers rose up one after another, as if they were about to resound through the sky.

…………

Herschel, who was automatically promoted to the earl's butler, put back his belly and puffed out his chest.

Herschel endured the heartache and faithfully carried out Green's order. With a wave of his fat hand, he opened the door of the warehouse.

The Kraibo Territory temporarily put away its swords and held a large-scale celebration.

…………

Outside King's Landing, Crabb Manor.

In the past few days, the clever Dick had never received such intensive punches and kicks.

When he was first captured by the Survey Corps, Dick could still muster up the courage to scream a few times, but now he was tortured by them and was only left with fear.

After Greene arrived, Dick, who had been locked in the basement, was picked up by soldiers from the Survey Corps and thrown onto the cold stone slab with a thud.

Dick couldn't help but scream in pain.

"Dick Crabb?"

Hearing this, Dick suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. The first thing that caught his eye was Green sitting upright, and the second was the swamp marigold emblem on Green's clothes.

Dick's pupils tightened and his body trembled.

Green smiled lowly and said, "It seems that you understand the laws of the kingdom."

Dick looked at Green in horror, opened his mouth and said, "I...I am one of your tribe."

Although Dick looked horrified, his eyes kept moving.

Although this kind of detail should not be noticed by others, it cannot escape Green's eyes.

Green frowned slightly, moved his eyes, and said to Jeffrey who was standing aside: "Why can I still see deception in him? Is it because he didn't take good care of him?"

[Jeffrey, head of the Survey Corps in King's Landing]

Jeffrey first touched his chest and apologized, and then said: "Sir, please allow me to bleed him."

Green slightly nodded his chin, and with a sound, Jeffrey drew his sword and stepped towards Dick.

Jeffrey grabbed Dick's hair with one hand and pulled it up, putting the cold sword against his neck.

The cold iron sword completely shattered any trace of luck in Dick's heart, and even made him pee in fear.

Jeffrey, who smelled the peculiar smell, frowned and looked up at Green.

Green waved Jeffrey to step back and said, "Dick, your biological father is the second son of a branch of the Kleb family. Am I right? Dick Weishui?"

Dick nodded blankly and begged: "Please forgive me for my offense. I am doing it for..."

Green directly interjected: "Shanni? Or Yulia Weishui?"

"My sister...she...she..."

"She's fine for now. It's up to you to keep her alive."

In danger, Dick lowered his face and turned his eyes again.

At this time, Dick was in endless regret. After all, he had hurt his poor sister.

Dick's hair was soaked with cold sweat, but he did not give up, nor did he dare to give up.

"Honorable Master, for the sake of... please give us humble men a chance."

Green sneered and said, "Of course I will give you a chance."

The clever Dick was about to thank him profusely, but Green continued: "I don't want your blood to be stained on my hands. You do it yourself and use your life to exchange for your sister's safety."

After speaking, Green glanced at Jeffrey.

Jeffrey nodded, took out the dagger from his waist, and threw it in front of Dick with a clang.

Dick looked at the dagger in front of him in horror and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his face.

Seeing that Dick never dared to pick up the dagger, Green patiently persuaded him: "Oh, there are seven hells, but the law is the law. Dick, I will only take one of you brothers and sisters."

Dick, with a pale face, murmured: "I'm sorry, brother, I'm sorry for you."

Dick cried, his vision blurring with tears and sweat.

Dick raised his hand tremblingly and grabbed the dagger.

"I hope you……"

Green's cold snort interrupted Dick's words.

The last glimmer of courage before dying, the warning words that Dick had finally prepared, were swallowed up in fear.

"Don't try to challenge my patience, Dick Waters."

Dick shouted in his heart: If you don't keep your word, I won't let you go even if I become a White Walker!

Dick stood up tremblingly, holding the handle of the dagger tightly with both hands, pointing the tip towards himself.

"Mom!" Dick cried, closing his eyes tightly, and stabbed the dagger hard into his chest.

Bang!

Jeffrey's sword accurately knocked off Dick's dagger.

Jeffrey put away the long sword, paused, and said to Green: "My lord, he is powerful enough. If he hadn't been blocked by me, the dagger would definitely kill him. He reckons..."

Dick, with empty eyes, first glanced at his own success, then at Jeffrey who was speaking, then closed his eyes and passed out.

Jeffrey glanced at Dick who was lying limply on the ground, and continued: "At most half the courage."

Green raised his eyes and looked upstairs in the hall, where the soldiers of the Survey Corps had been "accompanying" Yulia and witnessed the entire process.

I don’t know when she started, but Yulia began to dislike seeing Dick in her heart, and sometimes she even felt disgusted.

Today, Yulia saw that Dick, who was usually very timid, was willing to sacrifice his life for her. Yulia had mixed feelings in her heart.

He repeatedly said he wanted to get her out of there, and that wasn't empty talk.

The brother who talks nonsense and is called Clever Dick turns out to be only honest to her.

Yulia suddenly burst into laughter.

Now, she only has that tall brother left in her memory... Dick, whom she has always relied on for support since childhood.

When Yulia was brought to Green, she had calmed down her ups and downs and could greet Green with a calm face.

Green raised his eyebrows and said, "Yulia Weishui, I can give you a chance, or give your brother a chance."

Yulia nodded in thanks: "Sir, we understand that the sin is serious. Thank you for your kindness. We will always remember your kindness."

"Dick needs to complete a task. During the task, I will take care of your life. When the task is completed, I will give you rewards."

Yulia moved her lips. She wanted to ask the thin Dick what kind of mission he would send and whether it was dangerous.

Yulia has realized that the lives of their brothers and sisters are in the hands of the person in front of her, and she does not dare to overestimate Green's patience.

At least Dick is not in danger for the time being. Now Yulia can only pray to the gods in her heart.

Green said to Jeffrey: "Jeffrey, I'll leave him to you."

Starting tomorrow, Jeffrey will be responsible for teaching Dick various combat skills, including the dagger that Jeffrey is best at.

Jeffrey made other arrangements on his own based on the actual situation. Green only made one special request. The target he asked Dick to practice daggers on was actually... Jeffrey didn't think about it anymore.

The Survey Corps has no need to wonder, only... loyalty.

…………

…………

King Grimm returned to King's Landing near evening, and was finally summoned by Queen Cersei.

Green looked at the night sky, felt the armor that had been with him recently, and rode with his guards in the direction of the Red Keep.

Arriving at the gate of the Red Keep, Green left the guards nearby and entered the Red Keep with only Menton Weishui and Mattil Baker.

Outside Maegor's Tower, Green saw Jaime Lannister holding a sword at his waist.

The snow-white cloak blew eastward in the wind, and James still looked high-spirited and blond.

Before Green could greet him, James joked: "Good night, Your Majesty."

Green spread his hands and said: "Good night, Sir, because of this unexpected canonization, I have been having trouble sleeping and eating recently."

James smiled strangely: "Loyalty is not afraid of tests."

Green rolled his eyes inwardly. I'm not a Lannister, so I don't have natural trust, let alone Cersei's boss.

Green once again confirmed that he and James were not compatible and that he made the wrong payment.

In fact, because James later learned about Green teaching Myrcella equestrian skills, he couldn't help but get angry and his tone was a little mocking.

There are always some misunderstandings between Green and James. The two are always on their own channels, and they are indeed incompatible.

…………

No matter what he felt in his heart, Green approached James, looked at Mageta, and lowered his voice: "Is she angry?"

James raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Who is she?"

Green rolled his eyes this time and expressed his dissatisfaction with James with silence.

James smiled and said, "Earl, are you nervous too?"

Green shrugged and said, "Sir James, aren't you afraid of Her Majesty the Queen?"

James doesn't like word games because he's not good at it: "I tried my best, but the effect is not obvious. Earl Green, you can only rely on yourself now..."

After a pause, James seemed to organize his words: "Queen Cersei, you should also understand her character. She is loyal and is not afraid of tests."

Through James' words, Green could confirm that Queen Cersei's attitude did not deviate from his expected results.

Green sighed softly: "Sir James, it is precisely because he knows something about Her Royal Highness the Queen that I can't do anything. That old... Duke, this time the method is clever enough, and His Majesty Robert does not want Queen Cersei to Misunderstandings are difficult.”

James patted Green and comforted him: "I'm glad you think so. Let's go in together."

At this time, they heard more orderly footsteps.

More than a dozen Lannister red robes appeared in sight. They were divided into three groups, facing Green's faint encirclement.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and Mathil nervously grasped the handle of the sword.

Mengton glanced at Martier naively, and calmly touched the war hammer on his waist.

Martial glanced at Menton, who had a simple and honest face, and his nervousness gradually calmed down. Menton was a reliable fat man.

Martier was excited again, and the achievement was just around the corner.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and Martier has no doubts about their fighting power. He and Menton are enough to protect the lord's safety.

Martier, a descendant of the retainer knight and the earl's retinue, raised his chin and looked at the red robes with very contemptuous eyes.

…………

Green looked around expressionlessly, and it was indeed the style of Cersei's boss.

James frowned and stared at the leader in red robe: "Step back, who asked you to come here?"

Besides him, who in the Red Keep can directly give orders to the red robes of Lannister. The answer is obvious. Jaime asked a question that was not nonsense.

The red-robed leader replied: "Sir James, we have received orders from Her Royal Highness the Queen."

James said coldly: "What is the order from Her Majesty the Queen?"

The red robe hesitated and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Green.

Green shook his head slightly and said: "Sir James, take me to see Queen Cersei."

Green had to interrupt.

The red robes are all guards carefully trained by Lannister. It is no problem for them to dance with swords, but it will be difficult for them to know euphemistic expressions.

Jaime is the true leader of the Lannister red robes in the Red Keep. Under his questioning, the red robes will only tell the truth.

Judging from the current posture of the red robes, the answer is almost there. Green does not dare to expect boss Cersei to issue any gentle orders.

Saying it and not saying it can become two different things.

Take control, or at least don't let things get out of hand.

…………

Therefore, Green took the initiative to interrupt their next words.

James was also temporarily confused by Cersei's "surprise". Looking at Green's calm expression, he quickly regained his composure.

Green added: "Sir, loyalty is not afraid of tests."

James nodded slightly and took the lead.

Tata Tower... In the empty Maegor Tower, there were only the footsteps of Green and James.

At this time, James had already made up his mind. James glanced at Green calmly, and gradually tightened his grip on the sword handle.

For the sake of his true love, he has secretly increased his vigilance towards Green.

…………

The third floor of Maegor's Tower.

Green and James stopped almost at the same time and looked at a room door.

This room is where Green was summoned alone by Queen Cersei during his first Steward meeting.

Green's biggest impression of this room was that it was extremely well-soundproofed, keeping secrets about how he would organize the Queen's Quarter.

The door was opened, and Green found Cersei standing in front of the window, her back to them.

Jaime stepped forward and guarded Cersei's side with his sword as usual.

Green stroked his chest and nodded: "Good night, Your Highness the Queen."

Cersei turned her face slightly and said coldly: "Why didn't you refuse that drunkard's canonization?"

James glanced at Green, who was speechless for a moment, and persuaded: "Queen Cersei, he is a vassal of His Majesty Robert. If you refuse..."

Cersei interrupted with a loud voice: "Jaime, be loyal without fear!"

"Cersei..."

"James, I don't want to hear any more weak excuses, get out of here!"
