iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 46
King's Landing, Hook Lane, afternoon.

As soon as Green led Monton and Angai into the courtyard, they met a young man in blue robe who was of ordinary height but very strong.

After the young man in the blue robe spotted Green's figure, he greeted him excitedly and knelt down on one knee: "Master Green, the loyal Martyr Baker greets you."

Signaling Martyr Baker to get up, a smile appeared on Green's face: "Martil, can you go out now?"

The 22-year-old Matil scratched the back of his head embarrassingly: "I finally have a son. My father has been in the old place, and the return date is unknown. I can't wait any longer. I asked Butler Herschel to send me to the merchant ship. I found it at the address that Butler Herschel told me. I just arrived."

Martyr Baker was the eldest wedborn son of Kleber's retainer, Knight Marthan Baker.The Mason Baker family has a rule that must not be violated. The eldest son is not allowed to fight or travel far before giving birth to a son.

According to rumors, this rule was specially set by Kleiber's ancestors for the family of the retainer knights, and the family of Per Pilly, who is also Kleiber's retainer knights, also has exactly the same rules.

Matil, who was married at the age of 15 under the arrangement of Mason Knight, has been working continuously for seven years in order to complete the family tasks and gain more freedom.

Green can understand Martyr's eagerness to run out the door as soon as his son is born. The ancestors of Kleber did a good job!
Green patted Martil's firm shoulder: "Welcome, Martil, from now on you will be my servant, responsible for taking care of my mount and keeping my bow and arrow."

Matil suppressed his excitement and got down on one knee again: "I swear, follow the tradition of the Baker family for generations, I will always be loyal to you until death, I swear in the name of the old and new gods."

According to Creber's tradition, Green held his sword with both hands, and his steady voice carried a hint of solemnity: "There will always be a place for you by my hearth, and your meat and wine will always be on my table. I swear by the old and new gods."

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

An Gai looked eagerly, and asked in a low voice to Monton, "Have you sworn allegiance to Lord Green?"

Monton blinked his big eyes that lacked the light of wisdom: "No, haven't you read the military regulations of the lord? Unless there are special circumstances, only after serving the lord for three years, based on the merits of the past, are you eligible to swear allegiance to the lord alone. I'm not in a hurry."

An Gai scratched his head embarrassingly: "I'm not very literate... Hey, are you literate?"

The naive Monton was a little proud: "My mother taught me that if I don't learn not to eat."

An Gai's face darkened for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal: "Then what is a special situation?"

Monton replied in a naive voice: "Like him? Like Matil's family, they have been loyal to the lord's family for hundreds of years since their ancestors."

Hundreds of years?This was really incomparable, and An Gai's mood fell instantly.

Monton comforted: "The most important thing in the first three years is obedience. Obedience to every order of the lord is obedience. I think this is too simple."

When Monton was young, if he didn't listen to his mother, he would starve. For Monton, the word obedience is too familiar, and it feels kind.

Monton continued: "After three years, you will be eligible to swear allegiance to the lord. After swearing allegiance, if you make great achievements in the future, the lord may make you a knight. I asked specifically, illegitimate children can also be canonized knights, and I will have the opportunity to become a knight, hehe!"

In Monton's words, Angai saw a very clear path to promotion.

Can I also be canonized as a knight?The lost Angai was instantly full of blood.

"Well, yes..."

Monton suddenly remembered something, and said again: "I remembered another special situation, Emparuo, the commander of the Thorn Corps, Emparuo, she swore allegiance on the first day."

An Gai's interest increased greatly: "Listening to the name is still a woman? How did she do it?"

Monton had a naive expression on his face: "She is very strong. Everyone says she is very powerful. She is the number one female general in the territory."

An Gai didn't know what came to mind and suddenly asked: "Are all the women in Qingyu City so powerful?"

Monton, who has the intuition of a beast, played a trick when answering An Gai: "Some people are special?"

That's right, it's normal for a small number of women to be special, An Gai nodded in agreement.

The women in Qingyu City, um, spear wives, are just a little bit stronger, a little bit fierce, a little bit ruthless, and they are pretty good except for not losing to men in fights!
Monton, who always had a naive expression, also nodded his head following An Gaida.

Monton felt that the subject should be changed: "An Gai, you are very skilled, don't worry, you also have a chance."

An Gai expressed his gratitude: "Monton, I will. I didn't expect you to know so much. I will ask you more in the future."

Monton smiled stupidly: "I have been hearing very well since I was a child. I can hear a lot of things when everyone talks about meals."

An Gai first had a look on your face that you are so powerful, and then said: "You have to teach me how to read, and all my wine will be yours from now on."

Monton shook his big head: "It's okay, I like to cooperate with you, and I'd be happy to help you. You like wine, so you don't need to share with me. You can recite the lord's military regulations with literacy, that's really important."

A flower blooms between Monton and Anguy.

Cough, the flower of friendship!

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

Matil, who was leading Green's mount, hesitated for a while, and said to Green: "My lord, do you remember that businessman Jeffries?"

Jeffries is a successful businessman who owns two 2-foot (more than 100-meter) flat-bottomed sailing boats. He is mainly engaged in trade between the coasts of Blackwater Bay, and has had many leather transactions with Whispering City.

It was Jeffries' merchant ship that Green traveled from Mermaid Port to King's Landing.

Impressed by the expensive boat tickets, Green nodded.

"My lord, I was also on Jeffries' merchant ship this time. On the first night on the road, we ran into pirates. Although the royal patrol ship in Blackwater Bay rescued them in time and avoided a big loss, Jeffries was shot in the abdomen and was seriously injured. I'm afraid he won't last for a few days."

Stannis Baratheon, Duke of Dragonstone, is the second brother of King Robert Baratheon and serves as the Lord of the Sea.Stannis Baratheon has a serious and introverted personality, scrupulous about the law, and never compromises.Therefore, under the jurisdiction of the Minister of the Sea, Stannis Baratheon, the royal fleet never dared to relax its patrols in Blackwater Bay and other sea areas.

But the sea is vast, and there are always some bold and cunning pirates who will avoid the royal fleet and venture into the Blackwater Bay, which is the most important place for the Minister of the Sea, Stannis Baratheon.

Green's heart moved, and his brown eyes moved to Matil's direction.

"After I boarded the ship, Jeffries received me warmly after knowing my identity, saying that he respects you very much, my lord."

　Dear friends, ask for monthly ticket support!
