Chapter 44 Your Queen Is Angry

Red Castle, Mega Tower Gardens.

Queen Cersei, dressed in a rich dress, sat upright with a smile on her face, watching tenderly Princess Myrcella who was playing with Prince Tommen.

Prince Joffrey sat beside Queen Cersei with a look of impatience on his face.

Not far away, James in white robe and silver armor stood holding a sword.

Lancel and James stood together, tremblingly dodging Joffrey's eyes from time to time.

The figures of Green and Tyrion appeared in the garden, approaching James and Lancel.

Green stood beside James, and Tyrion smiled and pulled the embarrassed Lancel to the other side.

James glanced at Cersei who was not far away, and subconsciously lowered his voice: "Little Baron, what did the old Duke say?"

Unknowingly, Green's name in James' mouth was upgraded from a little savage to a little baron.

Green replied: "He used the terms of the Governor's Crab Claw Peninsula to want me..."

Green didn't deliberately conceal it, and told James what happened, especially the discovery of the mezzanine in the prime minister's study.

James' tone was sarcasm: "The study of the King's Hand is full of drafts, but the old duke didn't notice it at all."

Green nodded approvingly.

After James and Green finished talking, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Although the two of them knew a lot, maybe they really didn't match each other, and there was little common language between the two except for business.

In order to break the awkward atmosphere, Green glanced at the children playing in the distance.

Compliment his little padded jacket?

Green had nothing to say, and planned to start a conversation: "Princess Myrcella is very cute."

James didn't take Green's words, but gave Green a cold sideways glance.

At this moment, the keen Green seems to have caught something.

Tyrion, who was standing on the other side of James at some point, watched the whole process.

Tyrion's eyes rolled, his expression was calm, but he smiled to himself.

Before Green could think about it, Queen Cersei's maid came over slowly: "Good day, Baron Green, Her Royal Highness invites you to come over."

Green and James looked at each other, and followed the maid.

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

Queen Cersei nodded slightly to Green who was greeting her, and said, "Baron Green, this is my eldest son, Joffrey Baratheon, heir to the Iron Throne."

Joffrey raised his chin slightly and curled his lips, just like Queen Cersei.

Like me, no wonder Cersei loves Joffrey the most!

Green touched his chest and saluted: "Good day, Your Royal Highness."

Joffrey was satisfied with Green's address.

The younger brother of Crying Bun, known as Prince Tommen, is also called Prince Joffrey himself. This similar title has always made Joffrey very dissatisfied.

He is the only heir to the Iron Throne, and Joffrey should be the only one who can represent the prince.

Green's title was exactly what Joffrey wanted.

Joffrey's mood suddenly became very good: "Good day, Baron, I have heard of you, and I admire your bravery."

Queen Cersei was a little surprised, and the proud Joffrey rarely showed kindness to someone he met for the first time.

Cersei nodded secretly in satisfaction, as expected of my son, he can tell the value of a person at a glance, like me!

Cersei, who was in a good mood, called Myrcella and Tommen again.

"Good day, Lord Tommen."

"Good day, Princess Myrcella."

Green was busy saluting with the children.

Green's address to Tommen made Joffrey feel better: "Mom, I want to reward Baron Green."

As soon as Green's ears moved, his waist suddenly stopped being sore.

A capable person will only be more loyal if he is constantly rewarded. Joffrey has already understood this truth. Cersei is relieved that Joffrey is really like me!

With a gentle face, Cersei said dotingly to Joffrey: "Okay, I understand, my prince, and I will take care of it for you."

"Tomen, Myrcella, wipe off your sweat and take a rest."

After finishing speaking, Queen Cersei ordered her maid to take care of her, raised a hand, and said to Green: "Baron Green, walk with me."

Green's heart turned, and he approached Queen Cersei, gently supported Cersei's raised slender forearm, and helped Cersei stand up.

In the distance, watching Cersei and Green step into the garden, James and Tyrion looked at each other.

Tyrion grinned and said, "My brother, your tricks are not working on my sister."

James was embarrassed and helpless.

Tyrion patted James' thigh and comforted him: "James, don't worry, the matter is not as serious as we feared. Now it seems that the old lady is not angry. This is a good sign, you have not failed."

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

Green walked in the garden with Cersei. The garden of Maegorta was full of trees and flowers.

Queen Cersei stopped in her tracks, staring at a sea of ​​flowers, and said in a cold tone, "Baron Green, when are you going to tell me what that old bastard is looking for you?"

Sure enough, the Red Castle has no secrets. James cannot be trusted with such things, he is only suitable for killing people!

Green's brown eyes moved slightly: "The old man lured me to go across the strait to deal with the two young dragons of Targaryen."

Queen Cersei snorted, and said in a contemptuous tone, "What a coward."

Cersei's beautiful eyes glanced at Green's direction, and asked, "Temptation?"

Green's tone was sarcasm: "It's done, and I promise to make me the governor of the Crab Claw Peninsula and canonize it as the guardian of the Crab Claw Peninsula."

"You don't seem to like it?"

Green nodded: "Your Highness, I have heard that the Red Castle has been sending killers to hunt down young dragons for more than ten years. What has been unsuccessful for more than ten years is now entrusted to me. The old man's purpose is not pure."

"What do you think is the purpose of being old and immortal?"

After a pause, Green said, "He wants to push me away from His Highness. He may think that my sword is too sharp in your hands."

Cersei turned around, met Green's gaze, raised her graceful chin slightly, and said with a slight curve of her lips: "As I thought, Baron Green, your age is about the same as Joffrey, I am very optimistic about your future."

Green's tone was a little excited: "Your Highness, your kindness will never be forgotten by the Kleiber family."

Cersei walked slowly in front of Green, because the two were too close, and Green could already feel Queen Cersei's breath.

Queen Cersei looked at Green with gentle eyes, raised her arm, and stroked Green's cheek with her show hand: "What a wonderful child..."

Cersei helped Green gently straighten Green's collar again.

Under Queen Cersei's movements, she noticed that Green's Adam's Apple rolled up and down, and her chest heaved faintly.

Queen Cersei curled her lips.

Queen Cersei's showy hand stroked Green's cheek again: "The old man dared to cross me and order my best steward. He never put me in his eyes. Your queen is very angry. We must do something, otherwise your queen will not be able to swallow this breath."
