Chapter 53 The Disliked Green
Stannis was silent for a moment, then said, "Send someone to investigate and let me know what he's been doing in King's Landing."

Davos nodded in acceptance.

Stannis said again: "Can he serve me?"

Davos paused slightly, and immediately returned to normal: "Duke Stannis, the young baron may not know you yet."

Stannis glanced at Davos sharply. "Don't understand?"

Davos nodded slightly: "If he understands your noble qualities, Baron Green will definitely rely on you, not the queen born in Lannister. Lannister's wealth can easily blind the eyes of a young man. I have to say that you have lost the opportunity."

Stannis snorted coldly. "Golden dragons don't buy loyalty."

Davos agreed: "Duke Stannis, Baron Green's political and military capabilities are excellent, which is rare, and he deserves your patience."

King's Landing, Hook Lane, Green's Study.

Green's strategy met expectations, and it didn't take long for Green to resign to Princess Messiah smoothly and return to the house in Hook Lane.

Green is staring at a large map laid out on the table.

This is a map showing the route from King's Landing to the King's Forest, and it also marks in detail the location of the hotels where the King's Hunting Team will stay overnight along the way.

The Royal Forest Hunting Team is an event held for the royal ladies. They all ride in carriages, and they have to take care of their bearing capacity, so the speed of the team cannot follow the marching speed of the army.The time required for hunting in the royal forest is five days and four nights.

Green roughly calculated the distance on the map, and the four hotels were distributed according to the marching distance of the four nights.

The Kings Hunt is a royal event that has been held every two years since the Targaryen period.

Green speculates that this route has formed a stable market, and the four hotels where the royal forest hunting team will be stationed are the products of this market.

Green squeezed his chin. There are routines, and there are experienced responsible persons in charge of trivial details. His main job is to ensure the safety of the royal forest hunting team. It seems that his work is not as tiring as imagined.

Green's slender fingers clicked on the location of Yulin on the map.

After arriving at the destination of the imperial forest hunting, the whole team set up tents and stood up until the end of the seven-day imperial forest hunting.

Green seems to have found the direction to use the Golden Dragon.

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

As the evening approached, Green, who had finished arranging the chores, just let out a breath when Lancel Lannister, who had red and swollen cheeks, suddenly came over.

"What's the matter with your face, Lancel?"

Lancel was about to laugh, but he gasped with a hiss: "It's Prince Joffrey. I left the Red Keep as soon as the luncheon was over, and he sent someone to call me back, saying that he wanted me to teach swordsmanship."

Green's body leaned back slightly to the back of the chair, and his tone was full of doubts: "Is it my illusion, I see that you are in good condition?"

Seeing that Green's attendant had filled up the wine, Lancel reached out to pick up the wine glass and took a big sip before saying, "Prince Joffrey summoned me, and I can't refuse. I can't find cousin Tyrion in a short time, so I had to go, and the result..."

Pausing for a while with a bitter face, Lancel continued: "After meeting Prince Joffrey...don't talk about that, I want to forget about it."

Green nodded slightly: "The back is the key point, what about the back?"

Lancel's tone became excited and said: "Fortunately, cousin Cersei showed up in time and happened to meet us."

Green remained silent, but just stretched out his hand to signal Lancel to continue talking.

"Cousin Cersei found the wound on my face and made it up to me."

Green showed a puzzled expression at the right time: "Oh?"

"When His Majesty Robert comes back, I have to serve as the king's attendant. You also know that the royal hunting is an activity organized by the queen, and the king does not participate, so I can only miss this royal hunting.

Cousin Cersei saw that I was injured by Prince Joffrey, and as compensation, she has promised to help, so that I can serve as the king's servant after returning from hunting in the king's forest. "

It may be due to his personality, Green has never been able to empathize with Lancel about the enthusiasm for this kind of aristocratic activity.

Without waiting for Green's reaction, Lancel said excitedly: "What a rare opportunity, and only when hunting in the royal forest, can I see all the noble ladies of the king's land at once!
The golden armor I brought from the western region can finally come in handy. I have imagined countless times wearing my golden armor and meeting a beautiful and elegant lady in the lush royal forest. "

Green raised his face and smiled: "I wish your dream a good result."

Because of the injury on his face, Lancel didn't dare to laugh out loud, so he could only chuckle low, which made his laughter sound obscene.

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

"Are you asking me specifically to share your good news?" Green asked.

Lancel's body leaned forward slightly: "Are you still short of guards here?"

Green's thoughts changed, and he understood Lancel's purpose: "Lancel, could your encounter be too fast?"

Lancel smiled embarrassedly: "Aha, you saw it!"

Green shrugged: "It's not difficult."

Green's tone was a bit serious, and he said again: "Lancell, regarding your marriage, I think your father must have made arrangements. As your friend, I would advise you to pay attention to the scale and protect yourself. Your surname is easy to be used by those who want to."

Lancel stared blankly for a while, before he said, "Baron Green, what if I..."

Before Lancel could finish speaking, Green interrupted directly: "I guarantee you will be miserable."

Lancel was just at the age where he fantasized about beautiful love, so he still asked a little bit unwillingly: "How miserable can it be?"

"You wouldn't want to know."

After replying, Green sighed softly, got up from the chair, approached Lancel, patted the frustrated Lancel and said, "Lancel, it's also for the sake of the family. Only when your heart is empty can you control your emotions."

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Although Green was comforting Lancel, he seemed to be talking to himself.

Lancell looked up at Green with big eyes fluttering.

Lancel's occasional actions always made Green tremble secretly, and Green pulled away calmly: "Lancel, don't be depressed anymore, think of something pleasant, maybe the old man Seven Gods has already arranged everything for you."

Tyrion likes to be called "the old man of the Seven Gods", and Green is inevitably influenced by Tyrion.
