iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 47 Attributes That Are Easily Overlooked

Martyr said: "Jeffries has been begging me, hoping to meet you."

Green stopped walking, his brown eyes moved slightly: "Do you know his purpose?"

Martyr shook his head first, then nodded again: "My lord, I guess he is for his son. Jeffries is old, and he only has a 5-year-old son. He is the son of a merchant who has no shelter after his death. It is conceivable what will happen to him in the future. This is my guess."

Green didn't speak. Jeffries recently had more and more frequent leather deals with Whispering City, but it was always Herschel who came forward. Green only talked a few words when Jeffries came to see him on the boat last time, so he wasn't familiar with him.

Without familiarity, there can be no trust.

If according to Matil's guess, would a dying old father entrust his child to an unfamiliar person?
Suddenly, Green shook his head secretly and laughed at himself. He has dealt with many sinister people recently, and he is easily influenced by suspicion.

Things should be divided into big and small. Without further information, you can't habitually bring anything into conspiracy theory. Excessive suspicion is a phenomenon of anxiety disorder.

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

Green asked, "Where is he?"

Martyr scratched his head with his index finger and lowered his head: "His carriage is nearby. Jeffries has been emphasizing the friendship he established with Fort Whispers in the transaction and his admiration for the adults. I can't get rid of him, and he was injured so badly. I am too embarrassed to cut him off."

As he said that, Martial secretly raised his eyes to look at Green's face.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages, because of the family rules, in order to give birth to an heir, Matil was imprisoned too harshly.

Martil just looks mature on the outside, without the accumulation of experience.

Businessmen deal with all kinds of people every day, and their rich experience has trained them to have a vicious vision. Jeffreys has already seen through Matil's insides, otherwise he would not dare to rely on Matil.

But Martial is a descendant of Kleiber's retainer knights, and Green can only slowly adjust.

Green said with a straight face: "Go and bring him in."

Martial also felt that he had handled the matter badly, so he hung his head and called someone to go.

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

The afternoon sun was a bit dazzling, so Green ordered Monton to move a chair and sat down in a shaded place.

Today, I discovered the eavesdropping on the mezzanine in the study of the Prime Minister's Tower. It seems that the old Duke Jon was not affected, but he was definitely not as calm inside as he was. It was impossible for anyone to face this incident calmly.

The aftermath of the incident in the prime minister's study has become unpredictable.

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

Green thought of Duke Stannis Baratheon, the second younger brother who was not favored by King Robert.

If Martyr hadn't heard about pirates and the royal fleet today, Green would have almost ignored the unselfish Duke of Dragonstone, Stannis Baratheon.

Well, Stannis Baratheon seems to have an attribute that is easily overlooked.

What would happen if the fact that the respected former Prime Minister, Old Lord Jon, was about to convict a baron with just one song without direct evidence reached the ears of Duke Stannis Baratheon, who was strict with the law?
Also, according to Green's memory, Duke Stannis Baratheon was very dissatisfied with being only the Minister of the Sea.

He was also very dissatisfied with the fact that King Robert skipped him and let Robert's favorite third brother, Renly Baratheon, inherit the Duke of Storm's End and serve as the Minister of Justice.

Stannis Baratheon made a lot of contributions in the War of the Reavers, but he was canonized in Dragonstone Island, which only had black stones. Instead, the ancestral castle of the Baratheon family was canonized to the third brother Renly Baratheon who had no credit at all.

In the case of Stannis Baratheon, resentment has turned into a flame of hatred.

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

Green calculated in his mind the possibility of killing the weak old Duke Jon without directly coming forward.

You can't be mad, and you have to keep him from getting out of bed. The old Duke Jon is very stubborn, and he can't let Green go easily.

There are no permanent enemies in Game of Thrones, only permanent interests. Green thought of a natural ally in this matter.

With the clatter of horseshoes, mixed with the creak of wheels, the carriage passed through the gate and slowly drove into the courtyard where Green was.

The carriage stopped in front of Green, and Martyr scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "My lord, Jeffries can't get out of the carriage."

Green waved his hand angrily: "If you can't get off, then you can't get off, open the door."

Green's voice fell, and before Martiel could move, a thin, black middle-aged man who had been sitting beside the coachman and saluted Green from a distance, got out of the car and opened the door.

As soon as the car door was opened, Green, who was not far away, smelled a rancid stench.

Jeffries, whose face was flushed not long ago, was leaning against the carriage seat with a pale face.

After struggling to see Green's appearance clearly, Jeffries finally opened his mouth: "Your Honor, please forgive me for coming here."

Jeffries' voice was very weak: "After being hit by the arrow, I felt that I was doomed this time. Everyone is mortal. I am not afraid of death, but I am worried about my youngest son."

After a pause, Jeffries cheered up and continued: "In the pain and torment, I thought of all my relatives and friends. I was desperate to find that there was no one to support me. Thank you for the gift of the Seven Gods. I am humble enough to know you."

Jeffries looked into Green's eyes and hoped: "You are well-known for being loved by the people. Although the time of contact is short, I feel that you have compassion for the weak. I can only beg you to forgive a dying father who is desperate for his youngest son."

Regardless of his physical injuries, Jeffries slid down the seat with difficulty.

Jeffries lay on his stomach and raised his face covered with cold sweat: "I am willing to give all my property with both hands, and only beg you to protect my son."

Green sighed secretly, and asked, "Where is your son?"

The thin black middle-aged man who opened the door of the carriage came out from behind the carriage holding a hand of a little boy.

The chubby little boy should have just finished crying, and his small eyes were red and swollen.

Green reached out and touched the top of the chubby boy's head: "What's your name?"

The little chubby boy was too timid to speak.

The skinny black man who had been holding the chubby boy's hand said hastily, "His name is Darius, my noble nobleman."

Green touched the top of Darius's head again, and said to Jeffries: "Jeffries, your firm father's love has moved me. Your son Darius will become the adopted son of Kleiber's retainer knight Mason Baker."
