iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 134
The tall and thin knight with a huge sword behind him stood in front of Margaery Tyrell without saying a word. Margaery nodded slightly subconsciously, but the other person's pale and colorless eyes were straight. He stared at her but said nothing.

This man had a pockmarked face, no beard, deep eyes, and sunken cheeks.Although he is not old, he does not have many hairs left, only a few long tufts of hair sprouting above his ears.

He wore a hard leather coat with an iron-gray chainmail coat. The style was ordinary and unadorned, and he looked very old.

Margery was aware of the danger of this person in her heart, but she only frowned slightly. Golden Rose's pride did not allow her to show fear.

[Sir Ilyn has a strange habit of staring at the little beauty without saying a word]

Just as Margery was about to call the maid, a blue cloak embroidered with swamp marigolds suddenly appeared in her sight, and it was raised slightly.

"Sir Ilyn..."

His name is Ilyn Payne, who comes from the Payne family in the Westerlands. When Tywin Lannister was the prime minister of Aerys II, Ilyn was the captain of the prime minister's bodyguard.

Because someone tipped off the emperor, Ilyn Payne claimed outside that Duke Tywin was the true ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, and the furious Aerys II (Mad King) had his tongue pulled out. From then on, Ilyn Payne Never able to speak.

After King Robert married Queen Cersei, he appointed Ilyn Payne as his Lord Marshal as a gift to Lord Tywin to compensate for the loss of his tongue in the service of the Lannister family.

A cold light appeared in Green's eyes: "Did you deliberately ignore the golden rose badge on this young lady?"

Although Ilyn was of the Lannister camp, he followed King Robert almost day and night, and Green only met him a few times.

Ilyn appeared near the tavern, which meant that King Robert was not far away, so Green and Margaery naturally came out to greet him.

The golden rose was noble. Green thought that Yilin was paying his respects to Margaery first, so he didn't mind ignoring his presence.

As a result, Yilin stood about one step away, staring at Little Rose without moving.

Regardless of Yilin's true thoughts, his current actions are really presumptuous.

Margaery's bodyguard is now temporarily held by Green. Failure to do anything will affect Cleber's honor.

There was only a palm's distance between Green and Yilin, and his voice had no emotion: "You seem to have redundant eyes?"

Menton Weishui's fat body came to Margery's side and whispered: "Dear young lady, there may be some danger here, please come with me."

Margaery glanced at the innocent Menton and recognized this person as Green's personal guard. She glanced at Green and nodded and stepped back.

Yilin looked at Green, as if he was staring at a dead man, but received a contemptuous look from Green.

Green didn't hesitate. With a bang, his fist hit Yilin's abdomen.

Yilin felt a hammer-like blow, as if his internal organs were being squeezed out. The pain was indescribable. He couldn't help but cover his abdomen with both hands, but he couldn't stop the pain from spreading.

Yilin's face was twisted in pain, his clenched teeth made a crunching sound, and his trembling hands tried to pull out the sword.

Green reached out and grabbed the back of Yilin's neck, and with another bang, he put his knee on his back, pressing him to the ground.

Green pulled out a dagger with a cold light from his waist, put it in front of Yilin's eyes, and said, "Sir Yilin, which eye should you dig out first?"

Yilin tried desperately to struggle, but found that he seemed to be fixed by an iron chain and had no power to resist.

Hey, hey, hey... The dozen or so golden robes following Sir Ilin reacted and drew their swords one after another.

Green turned his head and looked over, and said coldly: "How dare the golden robes draw their swords?"

Green's hand was just a small dagger that he often played with, but it had a different nature.

The men in blue robes held the sword handles and faced the opposite side, waiting for the lord's order.

The golden robes looked at dozens of opponents wearing plate armor and did not dare to act rashly.

…………

When Green stood in front of her, Margery no longer had any fear. In addition to being grateful for Green's protection, she was also worried that the situation would escalate.

No wonder he was called a semi-savage noble... Margaery couldn't help but sigh in her heart. He didn't think Green was joking with Sir Ilyn on the ground.

Green's ears twitched, and it still took a little time... He looked at Margaery, who was surrounded by clan soldiers.

Green's smile was a little stiff, as if he was trying his best to not look intimidating.

"Miss Margery, this guy should be taught a lesson. Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with it?"

Margaery's elk-like eyes blinked, this...how should I answer?

Margaery carried the mission of a grandmother, and secretly tested King Robert's reaction when he saw her appearance, and gained favor by the way, which was related to the future of the family.

Although Sir Ilyn had offended her just now, Margaery did not feel the need to punish him severely.

At the same time, she also knew that Green was temporarily acting as a guard, and his honor was at stake here.

Margaery always didn't understand the honor that men valued, so she wouldn't ignore it easily.

Green is now a hidden ally, and there is King Robert's confidant over there. It's so difficult for her!
…………

Not long after, Green's voice came over again. He held the dagger and gestured: "Dig one first?"

This savage fellow!Margaery couldn't help but glared at her. Green raised an eyebrow, as if he was guessing what Margaery meant.

Isn't Earl Green usually very smart? He won't misunderstand me, right?

Did he deliberately pretend not to understand?Margaery thought about this possibility and became angry.

In a fit of anger, Margery suddenly calmed down her chaotic mood and clenched her fist for a while before letting go.

Margaery showed a gentle smile: "Earl Green, I think you have punished Sir Ilyn enough, please let him go."

Green nodded. Little Rose seemed to have grown up more than before? !

Green glanced at Yilin, who was leaning on the ground with his face expressionless, and said: "Sir Yilin, you are so lucky, the person you offended happened to be a kind-hearted young lady."

Green is a person who adapts to circumstances. Even if there is no executioner who was once Lord Tywin's confidant, Green will find other opportunities to let Duke Eddard see that although he is with Queen Cersei, he is not a lackey of Lannister. , he has his own thoughts and honors.

Well, it's not perfect, just enough, because he still needs to flexibly jump between Lannister and Stark repeatedly.

…………

Click, click, click, the sound of intensive horse hooves came, and a majestic figure clamped the horse's belly with his legs, pulling on the reins, and the horse's mane neighed under his crotch.

The banners of the Crowned Stag and the Ice Wolf were flying, and King Robert came slowly, surrounded by his sworn knights.

Green made a gesture, and the Kleber blue robes retreated neatly.

King Robert's voice was deafening: "Damn it, who told me what happened here?!" As soon as Robert appeared, he immediately suppressed the momentum of everyone present and looked majestic.

Green stood up, and Yilin climbed up in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

Robert noticed the movement between the two of them, glared angrily, and said, "Eh... is it you? You brat from Crab Claw Peninsula, how dare you appear in front of me?!"

There was some confusion on Green's face, but he still saluted unhurriedly: "Good day, my majesty, Whispering Castle is at your disposal."

Robert looked down at Green from his horse for a while, and said angrily: "Damn the king's vassals!"

He turned his head and shouted again: "Ned! Look who this little guy is!"

After saying that, the fat king jumped off the horse nimbly.

The burly Lord Eddard also quickly dismounted and followed King Robert. He soon discovered Green.

The two of them stood in front of Green like a wall.

After seeing the family crest on Duke Eddard, Green ignored the etiquette and said with suppressed excitement: "Are you the Duke of Winterfell?"

Duke Ed looked at the excited young man, guessing his identity, and nodded slightly.

Seeing Duke Edd nodded, Green's eyes lit up. He touched his chest respectfully and saluted: "Good day, Duke Edd. I am Greene Clayber of Crab Claw Peninsula. Your kindness will never be forgotten by the Claybers family. .”

Duke Eddard murmured: "Kleb of Crab Claw Peninsula..."

A figure appeared in his mind, and he asked King Robert: "Is he that child?"

When they were reminiscing about the past on the road, they happened to mention Green's mother.

King Robert laughed loudly and said: "Ned, that child, you did a good thing. Look, he has grown up and can already serve the kingdom..."

As he said that, he couldn't help but said angrily: "But it also gives me a headache. In short, none of my royal vassals will make me worry. I will leave it to you to worry about it in the future, haha!"

Duke Ed shrugged his shoulders slightly. He looked at Green, a smile appeared on his serious face, and his tone was filled with relief: "My child, I am very happy to see that you have grown up healthily."

After speaking, he reached out and patted Green on the shoulder. Green looked at Duke Ed with bright eyes (like Lancel) and nodded heavily.

At this time, a somewhat embarrassed Sir Ilyn came over and nodded slightly towards King Robert.

King Robert looked at the person who came down and said with some disbelief: "Sir Ilyn, you can't be..."

He pointed at Green and continued: "Have you defeated this brat?"

Green raised his eyebrows and glanced provocatively at Sir Ilyn.

Lord Eddard curled up the corners of his lips imperceptibly. Green's unabashed provocation reminded him of the days when he was young. When he and Robert were at this age, they wanted to fight every day.

"damn it!"

King Robert just cursed when he saw Sir Ilyn leaving directly. Maybe he was used to this situation.

King Robert looked at Green and said angrily: "Damn Green, you are so brave, even my law enforcement officer dares to... take action."

King Robert had seen a lot before, including the scene where Green pressed Ser Ilyn's back with his knee... He originally wanted to say knock him down, but in order to save Ser Ilyn's face, he changed it to something he thought sounded better. wording.

Lord Eddard frowned. He had a bad impression of Lannister. Coupled with Lysa's secret letter to his wife, he was very worried about Ser Ilyn, who King Robert often brought with him, because this man was strict. He is a confidant of Tywin Lannister.

Through various conversations along the way, Duke Eddard already knew that King Robert was almost surrounded by Lannister people.

Wasn't Robert wary?Lord Eddard became more and more confused about what King Robert was thinking now.

At the same time, Duke Eddard was glad that he finally decided to go south to assist Robert, otherwise King Robert's situation would only get worse and more dangerous.

Green scratched his neck and said angrily: "Your Majesty Robert, he has done something that is detrimental to his honor. If someone hadn't asked for mercy, I would not have let Sir Ilyn go. I have already shown mercy!"

"Seven layers of hell!"

King Robert almost jumped up in anger.

"Damn you bastard, I'm going to hang you up, and I'm going to whip you with my own hands!"

Greene still refused to give in when facing the furious King Robert.

Seeing that King Robert was so angry that he seemed to want to hit someone, Duke Eddard stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Robert... Your Majesty, at least listen to the reason first."

King Robert said angrily: "What are you listening to? Ser Ilyn's tongue has been pulled out long ago, and he can't speak! Are you just going to listen to this kid talking nonsense?"

Duke Ed was about to say that there were more than just Green and Ilin here, when a clear and pleasant voice came over.

"I have met His Majesty Robert. This matter happened because of me. I have to say something. Please forgive me for being presumptuous."

Margery held up her skirt with both hands and bowed gracefully.

King Robert looked at Margaery, who had her head slightly lowered, and said, "Are you... a girl from the Tyrell family?"

Robert saw the golden rose badge on Margaery's body.

Margery raised her head, her posture showing the youthful vitality of a girl.

Her voice was light and lively: "My name is Margaery Tyrell, and my father is Duke Mace Tyrell. It is a great honor to meet you, my lord!"

Green was watching the play at this time, and he knew very well that Margaery was imitating the character of Lyanna Stark. She acted very well, as if it was her nature.

Master Green had to give a thumbs up.

Green sighed in his heart, wondering when the Duke's daughters would work so hard to gain his favor... Suddenly he felt a little envious of King Robert.

But after he thought about it, this kind of thing was not as wonderful as he imagined. Each of them represents the interests of the family behind them. This is not a simple love between a man and a woman, it is also a game of power.

No wonder King Robert, who was addicted to beauty, never looked for noble ladies again after experiencing the incident at Storm's End.

So Green quickly stopped being envious.

…………

Duke Eddard unconsciously showed the smile of his old father. He hoped that his little daughter could be as ladylike and lively as Miss Tyrell. This was the reason why he brought Arya Stark to the south.

Duke Ed thought of his quirky little daughter and sighed secretly, hoping that he still had time to teach her.

King Robert nodded and said: "Okay, Margaery, tell me the reason."
