Chapter 125 Big Fish Eat Small Fish (End)
Green was silent for a while, and said: "After that night, she also disappeared, including the guard I gave her."

His brown eyes moved, and he added: "I hope my men can protect the safety of His Highness."

Varys looked at Green, and the smile on his face had long since dissipated: "It seems that it is obvious who the murderer is."

Green shrugged: "She is a kind girl, something unbelievable must have happened... Could it be her brother?"

A faint smile appeared on Wallis's face: "The dead are gone, and the living are gone."

Green's eyebrows were raised slightly, and Varys was cryptically indicating that he would not pursue Illyrio's death.

Varys's smile deepened: "I would also like to congratulate you on returning from your trip to Pentos with fruitful results. It's really enviable."

In the eyes of Varys, the Targaryens Viserys and Daenerys have become political chips in Green's hands.

Daenerys made an accident, perhaps this sudden surprise made Varys have to adjust years of careful planning.

Green sighed in his heart, it seems that Cersei and Dany are better at giving people "surprises".

Green was very honest: "Lord Varys, this thing is too coincidental... I even doubted whether it was a conspiracy of someone with good intentions, but I also thought... it might be a moment of good luck."

Wallis held his hands together and said in a relaxed tone: "The result is very gratifying. In the future, Kleb will be able to move forward and retreat freely."

Green rubbed his hair: "It was an unintentional move that was arranged out of concern for the safety of the princess. Your words sound wonderful?"

Varys nodded slightly: "Lord Grimm, the battle for the Iron Throne is not over yet. Baratheon has not yet secured the Seven Kingdoms. My little bird told me that there has been an undercurrent."

Without Illyrio, Varys has lost control of Viserys.

Because the situation in Westeros has not yet been disrupted, Varys' little Aegon still needs to continue to lurk.

Now, Varys, who was hiding behind the scenes, could only go into battle in person.

…………

Green's eyes trembled slightly, and his tone was heavy: "Master Varys, this is difficult."

Varys said sincerely: "Earl Green, you are not alone, I will help you."

Green stared at Varys: "Thank you very much for your kindness, but I still want to persuade you, because I can only see danger. King Robert will never forgive those who help Targaryen."

Varys instead persuaded: "King Baratheon will never give Kreb the same trust as Targaryen, and we know this kind of thing."

Green's complexion changed, he hesitated for a while, then shook his head: "Master Varys, I am satisfied that I can keep the princess safe in the dark."

Varys reached out and patted Green: "Your original intention sounds simple, but it is difficult to achieve, because no one can stop Targaryen's determination to regain the Iron Throne."

Sighing lightly, he said again: "How can we avoid getting involved... Don't forget, big fish eat small fish."

Green looked at Myrcella and Tommen who were chasing and playing. The child's laughter was clear and childish.

Varys also looked over, and his question seemed casual: "What kind of king do you think is a good king?"

Green's tone was slightly mocking: "I never thought about that kind of thing, but after I came to the Red Castle, I knew what a good king should look like in the eyes of the great nobles."

"Oh?"

"He does what he is told to do. That's what makes him a good king."

Wallis smiled and shook his head: "It really surprised me. Your answer is so...hit the nail on the head."

Green shrugged: "You seem to have found the answer?"

Varys' tone was solemn: "A good king should understand that it is his responsibility to rule, and that he puts his people first, and that his rule and existence are for them."

Green was stunned for a moment before he said, "Lord Varys, everyone is looking forward to such a king, but please forgive me, can we usher in such a king?"

Varys' eyes lit up a bit: "Prince Viserys has been wandering around with his young sister since he was a child in order to avoid being hunted down by Baratheon.

He has seen the suffering of the people at the bottom with his own eyes, and he has long understood the feeling of hunger, the feeling of being hunted down, and the feeling of fear.

Because of these sufferings, when the prince becomes a king, he will understand his own responsibilities. He will try his best to keep the people from starving and living in fear. "

Green's eyes moved slightly. Did the bald eunuch have murderous intentions for him?
Varys was well aware that the process of re-establishing trust was time-consuming.

If approached through Grimm, who appears to have temporarily gained Daenerys's trust, it could make it easier for Varys to gain the Targaryen's trust.

How about getting a direct ticket and a big gift?

For example... dragon eggs?
It appears that Varys has successfully received Illyrio's legacy.

If all goes well, Varys will soon regain control of Targaryen on the bright side by means of Varys, and his plan will continue to advance according to the original plan.

Viserys will bring enough troops to fight back to Westeros, Varys will hide in the dark, and let the war spread among the Seven Kingdoms.

The great nobles were weakened, and Viserys died at the right time... Finally, little Aegon's flag waved, gathering the hearts of the Seven Kingdoms, and he could legitimately sit on the Iron Throne.

It's a pity, the time traveler Greentenko is the eight-clawed spider Varys.

…………

Green believed Varys very much, and he said in a regretful tone: "It's a pity that I couldn't meet His Royal Highness Viserys in Pentos."

Varys smiled and said: "Sooner or later, I think His Highness Viserys will trust you more."

Why does Green feel that Varys is trying to kill him?
Although it was Illyrio who had come into contact with Viserys before, Varys knew Viserys as well as Illyrio.

What kind of temperament is Viserys?

He only has the Iron Throne in his eyes, he doesn't care about the suffering of the people, and Viserys can't play the kind prince that Varys said.

Varys was certain that Grimm would never see Viserys, so he made up this lie that would be exposed as soon as they met.

Although the two of them spoke in a relaxed manner on the surface, the content of the discussion was no different from rebellion. Afterwards, it could not be regarded as a harmless thing, because it was deception.

Deceit and intrigue abound in Game of Thrones.

Green's slender fingers tapped the hilt of the long sword at his waist.

As the self-proclaimed guardian of the Crab Claw Peninsula, Green was inevitably influenced by the simple folk customs of the Crab Claw Peninsula.

Varys insulted Myrcella and Tommen, and the loyal Green couldn't hold back for a moment and stabbed the minister who spoke rudely on the spot.

Let two children testify... Forget it, don't lead the children bad, Lord Green is an upright knight, the worst is trial by combat! !

…………

Green's eyes were a little fiery, hiding his murderous intent very well.

"Lord Varys, you care about the kingdom. I am willing to introduce you to Princess Daenerys. However, please give me some time to consider other things."

The chaos of the Seven Kingdoms is temporarily inseparable from Petyr and Varys.

Although these two like-minded people are hidden behind the scenes, from Green's perspective, they are in front of the stage, and he is behind the scenes.

He couldn't remain indifferent. When King Juan Green was about to go back, he planned to figure out how to control little Aegon first.

Also, Daenerys has to contact her in advance. The kind Princess of Dragonstone Island is easily deceived by people with ulterior motives.

Yep, Green doesn't believe Varys will only rely on him to reach the true dragon on the southbound journey, and don't forget that Varys has eight claws.

This is a game of thrones, and anyone who believes what Green or Varys says is half the game lost before it even begins.

Varys smiled gently and his eyes flickered: "It should be so, Earl Green."

…………

Shortly after Varys left, Myrcella and Tommen, tired of playing, came to the shade where Grimm was.

The well-trained maids of Megata quickly took care of the prince and princess.

Myrcella's green eyes were very bright, shining with curiosity and innocence: "Earl Green, I heard that you defeated the Knight of Flowers in Highgarden?"

Although he is the child of Boss Cersei, Green feels rare and relaxed when he stays with them.

In the blue sky, white clouds are floating slowly, rolling and surging like waves.Sometimes they gather into a group, sometimes they disperse into wisps, leisurely and contentedly in the sky.

At this time, Green was sitting under the tree, with his back against the big tree. When he heard the sound of the Mass, he withdrew his gaze.

The matter of defeating the Knight of Flowers made Green one of the hot topics in King's Landing, and he was moved again.

Green looked a bit distressed: "Yes, Princess Myrcella. I heard that there is no girl who doesn't like the Knight of Flowers. I am troubled by this. Many friends advise me not to go out easily. The girls in King's Landing hate me now. It makes my teeth itch.”

After listening to Green's words, little fat Tommen smiled very happily.

Myrcella's raised lips carried a sweet smile: "It's to pay attention to safety."

After finishing speaking, Myrcella couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

The little princess' golden curly hair dances gently in the wind, exuding vitality and innocence.

Green's body movements were a bit exaggerated: "Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness, I will bring enough guards."

…………

In the evening, Green left the Red Castle and returned to the house.

Swiping, the quill pen on the desk was waving, and Green was writing an order to dispatch troops. He planned to transfer 100 soldiers from the territory to King's Landing first.

Green put the written letter into an envelope, and with a bang, sealed it with mud.

The envelope was placed aside, and Green pinched his chin.

He was considering the timing of leaving King's Landing.

Sometimes he wants to cover everything, but he can't. He has to make a choice.

Green folded his hands on the back of his head, and raised his eyes to look at the roof.

Although the valley is an integral part of the Crab Claw Peninsula, military means alone can easily lead to indigestion and exhaust the essence of the Crab Claw Peninsula, so political means must be taken seriously.

Greene was considering the possibility of seeking a seat on the Council.

Well, Minister Green!
