The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Chapter 96 Proving Loyalty

The candlelight swayed gently, and the tip of the fire shone with a faint blue light, illuminating the dark room.

James moved his lips, but finally stopped talking. If he continued to explain to Green, the effect would only be worse.

Cersei is on the verge of a rage, and him staying here will only add fuel to the fire.

James wanted to leave directly, but was hesitant.

When it comes to Cersei's safety, he won't trust anyone.

"Ser Jaime."

Green's voice attracted James' attention.

Green had already taken off the long sword from his waist, and when he saw James looking over, he threw it towards James.

James stretched out his hand to catch the sword, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face. Love blinded his eyes, causing him to subconsciously ignore Green's character.

The keen Green is a master of details, and James' knightly heart was once again stimulated by Green.

In James' sight, Green nodded slightly and gave him a reassuring look.

James lowered his eyes and glanced at Green's sword, raised the corners of his lips, nodded towards Cersei, flicked his cloak and stepped forward.

Ta-ta-ta... Jaime nodded his chin slightly as he passed by Green, and the proud Jaime Lannister expressed his apology.

…………

With a bang, the door to the room was closed, leaving only Green and Cersei in the room.

Green understands Cersei's temperament, so he can always catch Cersei's coolness when doing things.

As time went by, Green not only improved Cersei's favor, but also unknowingly increased Cersei's trust.

Grimm's trust in Cersei grew, and she included him in her plans for the kingdom.

When her plan succeeds, Cersei's vision is: after Joffrey sits on the Iron Throne, Jaime becomes captain of the Iron Guard, and Grimm becomes the commander-in-chief of the Kingsguard.

Through them, Cersei will be regent of the kingdom and control of the Seven Kingdoms until Joffrey comes of age.

Cersei believed in Greene so much, but Greene accepted the reward and canonization from King Robert.

…………

Cersei was furious when she heard the news. Would Green betray her? !

She is a Lannister, and the Lion will never allow betrayal!

Cersei has arranged for the most elite Lannister red robes. If Greene cannot give her a satisfactory answer today, she will kill him with her own hands!

Was it because Queen Cersei was soft-hearted that she gave Greene a chance to defend himself? no!

Green has shown his value, coupled with James' persuasion... Although James' persuasion did not play a decisive role, it also had a certain effect.

Also, Green immediately came to Magat Tower to seek an audience.

These reasons made Cersei reluctant to choose to take action directly, but was willing to give Green a chance to prove himself.

…………

Tap tap... Green moved his steps calmly and stood two or three steps away from Queen Xi.

Cersei raised her chin and said coldly: "Have you been surrounded by compliments recently? Does it feel like a dream to have the trust of the king and the prime minister at the same time? Earl Green?"

When Cersei finally said Lord Grimm, her tone was full of sarcasm.

Green still just looked at Cersei calmly and said nothing.

Facing such Green, Cersei's anger suddenly ignited.

Her voice rose: "Are you speechless? You are loyal and fearless. Your timidity makes me laugh. Are you here to ask me for a dress to wear? Or...you..."

"Baron Green! What are you doing!" In desperation, Cersei used her customary name.

Green took two steps together, moved his body, and lifted Cersei on his shoulders.

Queen Cersei doesn't play by the rules, and Green can do it, depending on the situation.

"You're so offensive! I'm going to chop off your head!"

Cersei struggled vigorously on her hands and knees, but Green was able to carry her away steadily.

Furious, Cersei hit Green on the back twice and stopped.

Grimm was wearing plate armor, and Cersei's hand hurt.

When Cersei finally realized that she could still pull Grimm's hair, she was put on a chair before she could do it.

Cersei was sat down firmly by Greene, her weight seemed to be nothing in Greene's hands.

Green knelt down on one knee next to Cersei and held one of her hands with both hands: "My highness, loyalty is not afraid of tests."

Cersei tried to shake off Green's hand, but when it didn't work, she stopped.

Green's offensive behavior, but Cersei found that most of her anger had dissipated unconsciously, and she actually felt Green's loyalty.

The slightly embarrassed Queen Cersei raised her chin slightly, lowered her eyes and looked down at Green: "Green, you are offending the queen, I can hang you up."

Green's tone was sad: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being stupid. I really don't want to be misunderstood by you anymore. I am very heartbroken."

Cersei's green eyes trembled slightly, her lips slightly raised, and her tone was cold: "So, you chose to carry your queen on your shoulders. You are very brave."

Cersei was actually surprised that Green's attitude after seeing her was not that he knelt down and begged for mercy as she thought. This actually made her feel a little fresh.

Queen Cersei raised her chin slightly and said: "You are still offending your queen. You should kiss my shoes and beg my forgiveness."

Green gently raised Cersei's hand, lowered his head and gave a symbolic nod to the back of the hand, and said: "Her Royal Highness, as noble as you are, there is no shortage of people to kneel down. You always exude your innate charm and conquer Facing everyone, I am not an alternative, I have already sunk...I choose to hide, I am satisfied with the status quo, I am worried about losing, and I dare not offend."

Cersei snorted coldly and said, "Are you finally willing to move your tongue now?"

Green said: "The lion's anger makes me overwhelmed. Please forgive me for being stupid for a moment."

Cersei stared into Green's eyes for a while and said: "Earl Green, please get up. The armor on your body is cold and hard, which makes me very uncomfortable."

Green stood up and stepped away obediently, stroking his chest and saying, "Thank you for your forgiveness."

Cersei snorted, raised her chin, stood up from the chair, walked slowly to the dressing table, and sat down again.

Cersei looked at the mirror and adjusted her makeup, and said, "Forgiveness? Earl Green, you chose betrayal."

Green's tone was a little sarcastic: "Your Highness, apart from a vacant position, what did King Robert give me? I recovered the land myself, and it is still my own clan. Their purpose is always the same, which is to take me Removed from you."

Cersei looked at Green through the mirror and said coldly: "Of course I understand that it is your cowardice that aroused my anger."

Boss Cersei has just finished venting her anger, and Green needs to keep up his efforts.

Green no longer defended, but walked over, picked up a comb from the table, and helped Cersei comb her hair carefully.

Queen Cersei then showed a look of satisfaction: "What are your plans?"

"I plan to go to Essos soon."

Hearing this, Cersei's eyes showed anger again.

However, Green's next words made Cersei's anger immediately dissipate.

"The government affairs are just by the way. I mainly want to purchase some small items for you and do my best to add a touch of brilliance to you."

Cersei glanced sideways at Green and said, "The little girl might be happy by you."

Green put away his comb.

Queen Cersei looked around through the mirror and said, "Excellent craftsmanship, Squire Green."

Green nodded humbly: "Thank you for your compliment. It is a great honor to serve Green."

Cersei raised the corners of her lips, lifted up her skirt and stood up, turning around and approaching Green.

Green felt Queen Cersei's breath again.

Green's eyes trembled slightly, and he felt Cersei's hand reaching down.

However, Queen Cersei immediately frowned. Grimm's ancestral armor fit perfectly, and Lancel's scene was never repeated.

Cersei retracted her hand naturally and touched Green's cheek again: "Don't let King Robert get his wish easily, do you understand?"

Cersei hated Robert so much that she wanted him to die in peace.

"Don't worry, as far as I'm concerned, your orders are final."

Cersei nodded her chin slightly in satisfaction: "What are your plans?"

Green's Adam's apple rolled: "The information I have there will be handed over to the Imperial Council through you."

Cersei patted Green's breastplate and said, "I won't give you too long. You should know how to prove your loyalty to me. I also want to prove your loyalty."

Green, possessed by the Smoldering Man, took a deep breath, his cheeks slightly red.

Cersei smiled, raised her chin, and said, "Step aside, Earl Green."

Green caressed his chest and left the room with a slightly unnatural step.

…………

Outside the door, Green and James looked at each other and shrugged.

James smiled and handed over Green's sword.

Green took the sword and pinned it, took out a silver deer, and threw it towards James.

After James caught the silver deer, Green said: "Storage fee."

James smiled and shook his head, and the awkward atmosphere between the two of them disappeared instantly.

James also joked: "The next price increase will be a golden dragon."

Green held out two fingers, then pointed towards the room door with his eyes, turned and left.

James raised the corners of his lips and glanced at Green's back before re-entering the room.

…………

Entering the room, Jaime found Cersei sitting silently in a chair.

"That guy has a pretty good character and is more reliable than many people."

As he spoke, Jaime stepped closer to Cersei.

Cersei seemed to have just noticed James entering the room. She glanced at the armor on James and frowned slightly: "Humph, he is my prepared commander in gold robes, my captain of the Iron Guard, Sir Jaime."

Cersei never hides her ambitions from Jaime.

James reluctantly advised: "Cersei, I can support you, but we can't be impatient. This is a big matter..."

Cersei interrupted with an impatient tone: "Jaime, I know, you don't need to repeat it."

After saying that, Cersei frowned again and continued: "James, why are you still wearing armor? That thing is cold and hard. Remove it!"

Cersei's sudden angry words made Jaime look down at the armor on his body in confusion.

Junlin, Hook Alley.

Davos Seaworth, who looked tired, looked up at the starry night sky for a while and regained his energy.

How does Davos, known as the Onion Knight, plan to help Lord Stannis Baratheon become Hand of the King?

Davos's plan was jointly recommended by the nobles and Lord Stannis's self-recommendation.

Davos naturally knew that the biggest difficulty would be King Robert, but he believed that with the joint recommendation of many nobles, King Robert, who indulged in food and wine, had to compromise and appointed Duke Stannis as king for the sake of the stability of the kingdom. hand.

He really couldn't imagine that after Lord Jon, who else but Lord Stannis could govern the already bad enough kingdom.

Davos has secretly visited many royal nobles and obtained certain promises.

Tomorrow, Davos will set off for his most important destination, Baratheon's clan - the Stormlands.

The process of running was as difficult as Davos imagined, but Davos felt that as long as Lord Stannis could successfully take the position of Prime Minister, it would be worth it.

Everything he has was given by Lord Stannis.

Lord Stannis knighted him, allowing him to sit alongside other nobles and even command the royal fleet.

Davos has seven sons in total.

Today, the eldest son Dale is the captain of the "Sea Spirit", the second son Arad is the captain of the "Lady Maria", the third son Malik has become the oar officer of the "Wrath", and the fourth son Mathos is in his Serving as the first mate on the "Black Bertha", the fifth son Davon will soon be accepted by Lord Stannis as the Duke's squire, and one day he will definitely be made a knight.

His two younger sons, Stannis and Stephen, would follow the same path.

His wife Maria became the mistress of the small castle in Cape Wrath. The servants had to call her madam. Davos could also hunt red deer in his own forest.

…………

All this was given to Stannis, and all he paid for it was a few knuckles.

Stannis punished him justly. He had always flouted the king's law in the past. This was the punishment he deserved. Stannis remade him.

Now, Stannis still honors him with his trust.

…………

Davos also heard in King's Landing that Green was given a mansion by Queen Cersei. Lannister's actions always make people sigh.

Queen Cersei, who was born as a Lannister, would not be generous to others for no reason. Through this news, Davos had determined that Green's reputation as the queen's favorite was by no means a lie.

Lord Stannis is a rare talent. Facing Lannister's golden dragon, Davos can only rely on Lord Stannis's personal charm.

Davos' thoughts changed. After entering the house under the guidance of the attendant, he saw Green waiting in the hall.

Davos, who has brown hair and brown eyes, looks ordinary, has a thick gray beard, wears black robes, and looks thin.

Davos was visiting on behalf of Lord Stannis. Green took the initiative to greet him and said, "Good night, Sir Davos. Please pay my respects to Lord Stannis on my behalf. It's an honor to meet you."

Davos nodded and said in return: "Good night, Earl Green. On behalf of Lord Stannis, I thank you for your greetings. It's an honor to meet you."

After Green and Davos completed the meeting etiquette meticulously, they sat down.

Green's face was gentle and he said: "Sir Davos, the royal fleet's hard work has allowed my port to develop with peace of mind. I have always wanted to express my gratitude in person, but I didn't expect that the opportunity is already around the corner."

Davos said in a humble tone: "Earl Green, this is the due responsibility of the royal fleet and the achievement of Lord Stannis."

Green nodded slightly and said: "Duke Stannis is like the pillar of the kingdom. I admire him very much."

Davos sighed slightly and said: "Yes, I also agree with your point of view. Duke Stannis has always been fair and diligent, and he has to be admired."

Green's eyes moved slightly and said: "Yes, the gods can prove it."
