iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 63 Unshakable
The shrewd Petyr felt that both he and Green had underestimated Duke Stannis' combat effectiveness.

At this moment, Duke Jon's eyes were closed weakly, and his breathing was very weak.

If Green is here, he may be more happy that Duke Jon died directly after being stimulated.

But what Petyr wanted was to keep Duke Jon lying in bed so that he could continue to embezzle the Prime Minister's power, not to let him die on the spot.

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

Petyr stood up, the usual elegant smile on his face had long since disappeared, he fixed his eyes on Duke Stannis, and said in a deep voice: "Duke Stannis, you have also seen it, I think today's conversation can come to an end."

Duke Stannis snorted coldly and said, "Petyr, do you think there is something wrong with what I said?"

Petyr shook his head slightly: "Lord Stannis, I'm just a chancellor, I don't judge."

Petyr doesn't want to talk about right and wrong with Duke Stannis, he just wants to send him away immediately, Duke Jon needs a rest very much.

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

Stannis rose from his chair, perhaps because of his height, which put the medium-sized Petyr under pressure.

Duke Stannis said coldly: "The kingdom is actually controlled by you mediocre subjects!"

Duke Stannis' eyes moved to Duke Jon, who was leaning weakly on the back of the chair, his eyes were cold: "Weakness should not be an excuse for ignoring the law! You can't listen to my words, so think more about the kingdom."

After Duke Stannis finished speaking, he glanced at Petyr again with icy eyes, said no more, bowed to Duke Jon, turned around and left the Prime Minister's study neatly.

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

After leaving the Prime Minister's Tower, Duke Stannis stood still, looking sharply towards the direction of the throne hall.

Duke Stannis felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart when he thought of King Robert's most important minister, but this feeling of weakness was only fleeting.

At least he's still there, Stannis is still there!

Lord Stannis is on his feet again, his steps are firm, his heart is iron, he is unshakable!

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

Not long after Stannis left, Lord Jon opened his eyes.

On the surface, Duke Jon seemed to have returned to normal, but Petyr, who knew Duke Jon well, could see at a glance how strong he was.

Petyr twitched the corners of his lips cryptically. It seemed that Duke Stannis had stimulated Duke Jon quite a bit, and this level was just right.

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

Duke Jon sighed long, with a tired voice: "Stannis, his temper is still the same, smelly and hard."

Petyr asked worriedly: "My lord, your body?"

Duke Jon exhaled, his face tired: "It seems that my government affairs have to be moved back to the bedroom."

Petyr's figure was about to move: "I'll go ask Maester Paicell..."

Duke Jon waved his hand weakly, stopping Petyr, who had changed his usual calmness and looked anxious.

"When there are fewer people at night, call Pai Sear over."

After hesitating for a moment, Petyr silently nodded in agreement.

"Petyr, don't pay attention to what Stannis says, he..."

Duke Jon thought for a while, and then said: "Although he is smelly and hard, it is easy to be hated, but he cannot be hated."

Duke Jon sighed again: "He is too paranoid about the law, and his subordinates are miserable."

After a pause, Duke Jon turned to Petyr and said: "Many people think that His Majesty Robert favors his younger brother and conferred Storm's End to Renly, but Stannis, who has made great contributions..."

"There is a reason for this. If the Stormlands were given to Stannis, with his harshness, Baratheon's vassals would soon be in chaos, when the kingdom desperately needed stability."

"According to His Majesty Robert, it is the best choice to throw the bad-tempered Stannis into Dragonstone, surrounded by the sea, and let him toss around there."

"Unfortunately, with His Majesty Robert's temperament, he didn't take the matter of appeasing Stannis to heart later on. The brothers Baratheon almost turned against each other."

"Petyr, I tell you this because I hope your eyes can see something deeper."

Petyr stroked his chest and nodded, respectfully said: "Yes, Your Excellency, I will remember your teachings."

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

In Yulin, a gold-cloaked officer named Stepan had an accident.

In the corner of the camp, Green glanced at the bloody golden robe corpse, and frowned slightly.

Green withdrew his gaze and the first thing he did was to issue a hush-hush order.

Although the death of Stepan in the golden robe was an accident, it was a death after all, and it would be easy to panic if it was spread.

"Did he go deep into the jungle by himself after he was drunk?"

A golden robe answered Green's question: "Yes, my lord! Stepan is strong and has superb sword skills. Although he drank too much, we didn't take him to leave the camp."

"That's right, he has always been a good drinker. He used to sober himself up after going out for a while."

"Yeah, none of us expected that he would go into the depths of the forest alone."

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

Green's gaze moved, and he asked, "How did you find out? Were you still alive when you found out?"

A Lannister in a red robe replied: "Lord Green, our team discovered it. We follow your order and are responsible for the security patrol in that area."

Green nodded slightly: "You guys did a good job, tell me what happened at that time?"

"We rushed there as soon as we heard the movement, but when we arrived Stepan was dead, there was blood all over the ground, he was almost deformed by the wild boar."

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

Green nodded, and turned his gaze to the corpse on the ground again.

Green had a few brief encounters with Stepan, and in his impression Stepan did look tall and strong.

By this time, Green had confirmed that the drunk Stepan had been attacked and killed by a wild boar.

Green shook his head slightly, secretly thinking that it's a pity that Stepan is still a middle-level officer at a young age, and his future in the garrison should be good in the future.

You must never enter the forest when you are drunk, even if it is...
In Green's mind, King Robert's name suddenly flashed.

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

"His Royal Highness!"

"His Royal Highness!"

"His Royal Highness!"

Hearing the movement in the distance, Green stopped his thoughts.

Queen Cersei was walking in the direction of Green under Jaime's guard.

Tsk, these two are out on a field trip again!
Everyone saluted one after another, and Green stepped forward to report Stepan's death to Queen Cersei.

"Leave the rest to the defense team and let them handle it themselves."

Queen Cersei squinted at Green and asked, "Stepan is strong?"

Green's heart moved: "I have contacted him, and Stepan is as strong as a cow."

Queen Cersei stared at the bloody "Stepan", her beautiful eyes were a little brighter than usual, but her face remained unchanged.
