iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 40 Prime Minister's Tower

Rubbing his big face with a pair of small hands, Tyrion cheered up and said, "Jaime, what happened..."

Tyrion's eloquence has always been very good, and he told James the ins and outs of the matter in concise language.

After listening to James, he thought of the conspiracy against Cersei that Green had analyzed to him before, and his heart moved: "Tyrion, you are smarter than me, can you guess why Littlefinger created a conflict between Cersei and Jon?"

James' question was very natural, he listened to Green's advice, or he was a man who kept his promise, and did not disclose Cersei's plan to others.

Regarding Cersei's conspiracy, James will not disclose it to the public, and he will investigate it secretly.

Tyrion slapped his thigh, and suddenly regained his energy: "Actually, I didn't even think about why Petyr did this at the beginning, but Green helped me think of it. This young man is really smart. If I wasn't tall enough, I even wanted to give him a kiss on the spot."

James looked at his brother who was serious for only three seconds, and smiled helplessly: "I suggest you give up. As far as I know him, this behavior of yours will definitely destroy your friendship."

Tyrion grinned.

James patted Tyrion on the back: "What did Little Green say?"

Tyrion coughed and suppressed his smile: "Littlefinger's target should be Duke Jon who values ​​him the most. Everyone knows that the old Duke's health is very bad."

James' eyes were puzzled.

Tyrion continued: "You also know the character of the old lady. She has hated Duke Jon for a long time. It just so happens that His Majesty Robert is not in the Red Keep. Who can stop her from making a fuss?"

Cersei is a little willful, and James has to agree.

"The old lady will not show any mercy to the old duke because of his old age. As a result, Duke Jon's health problems will be further exacerbated by Cersei's stimulation."

Hearing this, James almost guessed Petyr's purpose: "Has Petyr taken a fancy to Jon's power?"

Tyrion nodded: "Duke Jon trusts Petyr who is also from the same valley the most. His health does not allow him to handle government affairs like before. The less he can handle government affairs by himself, he can only rely on that loyal and reliable Earl of Sheep Shit."

James' eyes were indifferent: "It's a ridiculous conspiracy, he hurt Cersei."

Tyrion said in a deep voice: "Yes, Lannister must pay his debts, so I offered Petyr's position to Green without hesitation. With Petyr's shrewdness, he would definitely guess that I did it."

James patted Tyrion's small shoulder: "Nice job, Tyrion."

Tyrion leaned closer to James: "Green will meet with Duke Jon in the morning, we still have to find a way to hide it from Cersei, lest Cersei and Duke Jon conflict, and things get bigger and we can't hide it from His Majesty Robert."

James thought for a while and said, "Don't you think it would be better for Green to avoid it for a while?"

Tyrion shrugged: "Green is essentially a knight like you. He told me that the best defense is offense. The language is amazing. He convinced me all at once."

Tyrion continued grinning, "I think Littlefinger's evening talk with Green should be very pleasant, and you can trust him."

The Cavaliers are never afraid, and James agrees with Green's point of view very much.

"James, Miss Cersei depends on you."

James thought for a while and said, "Well, there is a way. Princess Myrcella has always wanted to learn a few braids from Cersei. Recently, Cersei is in a good mood and is very patient. Today's time is just right."

Tyrion grinned and said, "My poor niece, her mother is usually a little impatient with these things, and Myrcella will be excited all day long."

James smiled and shook his head: "Cersei won't have free time all morning, don't worry, I will keep watching."

James, who was about to leave, stopped suddenly: "Tyrion, what are you going to do in a while?"

Tyrion was puzzled: "Go back to sleep, they are still in bed, I want to continue to be tender."

Thinking beautifully, James' eyes moved slightly, and he said in a serious tone: "I'm still a little worried. The Crab Claw Peninsula has a lot of hatred for Duke Jon."

Jaime looked serious, and Tyrion nodded in agreement.

"I'll make a batch of red robes for you, just in case, no matter what happens, you protect Green's safety first, and wait for me to come over."

........................

Red Fort, Tower of the Prime Minister.

Green delivered Duke Jon's invitation to the guards in the Hand Tower.

After carefully checking the invitation, the guard told Green to go to the study on the second floor, and stepped aside.

Green left Monton and Angay outside, and walked into the Prime Minister's Tower by himself.

"Good day, Lord Grimm Cleber."

At this time, Green had passed through the spacious hall of the Prime Minister's Tower and came to the stairs.

The unfamiliar voice had a subtle tone, and Green stopped in his tracks.

A fat figure with a bald head, wearing a loose robe, and arms crossed appeared in Green's sight from the side of the stairs.

Varys?Green raised his eyebrows, stroked his chest and said, "Good day, my lord."

Varys walked in slowly: "The wisdom in your eyes tells me that you recognize me."

Green nodded slightly: "May I take the liberty, I have specifically inquired about the great figures in the Red Castle, Lord Varys."

Varys nodded with a smile all over his face: "It's a very good habit to be willing to get acquainted in advance in an unfamiliar place."

Varys' eyes were very friendly: "Although it's an honor for the baron to classify me as a big person, I still want to defend myself. I'm just a humble little person here. They only look at me when they need me. They usually keep a polite distance from me."

Green smiled: "I probably know the reason."

"Oh?"

Varys showed doubts at the right time, as if he was very curious about Green's next answer.

Green deliberately whispered: "They are guilty, don't forget your duty, Chief Intelligence Officer."

Varisi smiled happily: "This is really a wonderful answer."

Green smiled silently.

Varisi looked at Green politely: "Baron Green, I just came out of Duke Jon's study and talked to him about you."

Before Green could answer, Varys said again: "As the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Petyr, I don't understand some things completely. I have fulfilled my duties, and as the Chief Intelligence Officer, I have completed the information for Duke Jon."

Green's heart moved, and he said, "Thank you, because of Lord Varys' dedication, maybe the interview with the King's Hand will be much easier?"

Varys nodded: "It should have been a pleasant meeting, Baron Green."

"I feel sorry for Miss Lyanna Kleber's grievances, and please convey my blessings if you have the opportunity."

After finishing speaking, Varys turned slightly and stretched out a hand towards the stairs: "Go, Baron, don't make Duke Jon wait too long, see you next time."
