iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 88 Secret (5100)

Crabbe Manor.

Green, who had just packed up, was looking at a letter from Empero, the commander of the Thorn Corps.

Is this a hieroglyph for... Westeros?
Combining Emparuo's character and the current situation of the Thorn Corps, Green frowned and analyzed for a long time before roughly guessing what Emparuo wanted to express.

Empero also learned to compete with other corps for equipment?Green chuckled.

Emparo, who was set up by Green as a model for Kleiber's wife, has always performed very well, but her character is too straightforward.

There is no absolute distinction between good and bad character attributes, but Emparo still needs to be a little more flexible as the head of the corps.

Therefore, Green is happy to see this change in Emparo, and he needs to encourage it a little bit.

Green folded the letter back into the envelope and sealed it.

People like Emparo are born with few black spots. This letter with pictures and texts may be one of the few black spots in her life, so Green plans to keep it.

Green is very curious about what kind of expression Emparo will show when he reads this letter again in the future...perhaps years or decades later.

…………

Green coughed dryly, handed the mud-sealed envelope to Surana, and said, "Surana, keep it safe for me."

Surana's eyes moved slightly, she took the envelope calmly, and said respectfully, "Yes, my master."

Green said again: "Surana, write a letter to Herschel for me. There are two things in total... The first thing is to help the Thorn Corps find a clerk, and the second thing is to assign a new short note to the Thorn Corps. The amount of swords has been increased, as for the amount... Let him adjust the specific amount."

Surana has been able to deal with the sudden extra responsibilities on her body very calmly.

Although Surana is only a steward, she has always been in touch with the core of the territory.

In the past, before they regained the old land, they had a surplus of manpower everywhere.

Now, the size of Kleiber's territory has increased several times, but it is operated by the previous manpower.For a period of time, these reliable people can only take on several roles to help the lord control Kleber's territory.

…………

Boss Cersei is impatient, and Green will have to leave Crabbe Manor for King's Landing soon.

After Green dealt with the backlog of letters during this period, he frowned.

"By the way, remember to prepare some clothes for Samwell as soon as possible. Monton's clothes are still a bit too big for Sam."

Samwell Tarly, who left Horn Hill and joined Green's camp, had only one piece of clothing on his body. His fat figure was destined to be difficult to find finished products, so he had to find a place to order them.

Because of Prime Minister Jon's one-month appointment, Green's time is tight and cannot be delayed, so he needs to travel all the way.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the simple and honest Monton Weishui contributed one of his robes, so that Samwell would not have no clothes to change.

Although this was a small matter, it increased Green's dissatisfaction with Duke Jon.

Green is running around for "Queen Cersei", but Duke Jon, who is far away in the Red Castle, can use his authority to restrain him. This feeling is very aggrieved.

Green didn't show it on the surface, but he was a little angry in his heart.

Green secretly announced: the valley is an integral part of the crab claw peninsula.

…………

Green's heart welcomes Samwell's joining.

Not only because of Samwell's outstanding intelligence, but also because the addition of Samwell can improve the reputation of the Kleiber family.

Not everyone knows the inside story of the Tully family. Most people only know that the eldest son of the famous Earl Landau has become Baron Kleber's attendant.

The addition of Mwell has virtually elevated what Green is most lacking now.

…………

Surana nodded and said, "Monton needs cloth for three people. Now there is one more Samwell. Should I prepare some special-sized clothes in advance?"

Green raised his face and smiled, and said, "Ms. Surana, it's rare that you are joking with me."

Surana said seriously: "My master, it is an offense to joke with the lord casually, and I really intend to do so."

Green shook his head, with a smile in his eyes: "Tell me, what do you want to say to me?"

Surana nodded, took a step forward, approached Green, and said in a low voice, "You've been gone for so long, why didn't I find a girl from the River Bend in the team?"

Green raised his eyebrows, paused, and leaned slightly towards Surana.

The keen Green noticed that Surana's eyes lit up. The always serious Surana butler also has a heart of gossip?
Green suppressed his voice and said, "I met an interesting girl."

Surana blinked, what's behind?

"Her status is too high to look down on your lord."

Surana froze for a moment, and said, "Have you expressed your love?"

Green shook his head: "If you want to hold a rose, you must bear the pain. I will not do useless work."

Surana breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My master, I confirm now that it's not the situation I'm most worried about."

Green: "???"

"When I greeted you just now, although you looked more majestic to the team, what I noticed was that there was no woman. I have been hiding unspeakable worries in my heart."

Green stroked his forehead, and said in a rare helpless tone: "Ms. Surana, you used to be my mother's most trusted maid, and you are like a family member in my heart. In front of me, you can always speak with confidence."

Surana shrugged slightly: "I've confirmed that it's all right. I observed it just now when I was waiting for you to take a bath. Your reaction is normal. In addition, your emotion that ended before it started is my fault. Too much to worry about."

Green raised his face and smiled: "In short, thank you for your concern."

"My lord, I have heard of many excellent young men who have fallen into difficult loves. They can't ask for it, and they are devastated by love. The marigolds will wither, and the best looks of women are actually very short-lived, and most men's loves It starts with intoxicating beauty.

The future Mrs. Kleber does not need to be too noble. A noble lady who is weaker than Kleber is the ideal choice. She bears children for you, and you provide her with the status and protection she deserves. This is the balance that can make the family peaceful .

Heart-pounding beauty... You can look for it from your lover, you now have a lot of golden dragons to splurge on. "

Green listened quietly, paused, and said, "Ms. Surana, thank you for your heartfelt words...but I want to ask, is this a message from my mother?"

Surana nodded: "I know I can't hide it from you. I don't have the wisdom that shines like Madam. Madam is always worried about you. She left some words in the last period. Madam told me to, when necessary, I can speak to you."

After a moment of silence in the room, Green suddenly said, "Surana, can you tell me the truth now?"

Surana paused for a moment, and respectfully said: "My master, your wisdom is no less than that of your wife. I think you should have guessed that it all started with the war more than ten years ago."

…………

…………

As the evening approached, Green, surrounded by the soldiers, passed through the steel gate and entered King's Landing City.

As soon as he entered Hook Harbor, Green spotted Jaime Lannister on a white horse.

Although James with fluttering blond hair still looks vigorous, Green, who is keen, has noticed some changes in James.

Compared to before, James seemed to be more sharp.

Green dismounted and handed over the reins to his squire Martyr.

Green led Samwell, who had changed into a back hairstyle, and walked towards James.

The corner of James' lips curled up, and he got off his horse. He raised his hand and threw something towards Green.

Green reached out to catch it, glanced at the thing in his hand, and asked doubtfully, "The key?"

It may be that the distance creates beauty. After not seeing him for a while, Green feels a lot closer to James.

James spread his hands, and said, "Queen Cersei thinks that you have traveled a lot this time, and has prepared a small house for you so that you can live more comfortably."

The small house that James said... How, Lannister is still Lannister!
Green handed the key to Samwell, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Sir James, this key must be your idea."

James couldn't help but smiled: "Little Baron, you guessed it right, I'm not good at expressing words, so I picked up a key randomly on the road. With this thing, it will be convenient for me to express Queen Cersei's reward for you."

Samwell scratched his head, looking at the key in his hand, undecided.

Green noticed Samwell's embarrassment, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Sam, you can just keep it at ease."

Although Samwell didn't speak, his fat body gave him a strong sense of presence.

James glanced at Monton, then at Samwell, raised the corners of his lips, and asked Green, "Are they two brothers?"

Hearing this, Monton and Samwell looked at each other unconsciously.

Monton smiled innocently, and Samwell looked away shyly with a smile.

Green raised his face and smiled, stretched out his hand to signal, and said, "Come on, Sam, this is Kingsguard Jaime Lannister."

Samwell saluted James awkwardly, "Good day, Sir James, it's an honor to meet you, my name is Samwell Tarly, I'm from the Reach, and I'm Baron Green's attendant."

James raised his eyebrows and said, "Tally of Horn Hill?"

Samwell moved his lips, not knowing how to speak, and looked at Green for help.

Green nodded his jaw slightly, and said, "Sir James, Sam is Tully from the Crab Claw Peninsula."

James just asked casually, nodded slightly, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you there. This is the task Queen Cersei entrusted to me."

Green nodded, and set off with James towards the new house presented by Queen Cersei.

…………

On the way, James suddenly said: "Baron Green, I have been investigating and collected a lot of information during this time."

Green's heart moved, he glanced at James, and said, "Is there any gain?"

James shrugged and said, "A lot, maybe too much."

Green raised his eyebrows: "Sir James, it seems that you have thrown a lot of golden dragons."

"This is the most familiar method for me."

Green thought for a while, and said, "I estimate that most of the information you have collected is used to mislead."

James pulled the rein, adjusted the direction of the horse, and said, "Baron Green, you are really good at these things. I also feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell exactly where it is."

This is complimenting me, right?
Because of the experience of Green and James in Queens, the broad-minded Green is slightly sensitive to some of the words that James said.

Green nodded: "This is a normal operation. The conspirators will naturally try their best to hide themselves, and at the same time, they will also try to deliberately mislead us."

A cold light flashed across James' green eyes, he didn't like this kind of dark-hearted guy the most.

The corners of Green's lips twitched, and he said, "Sir James, I remember you told me that as long as it is not good for Queen Cersei, you are not afraid of anyone being behind the scenes, right?"

James stared at Green: "Baron Green, do you already know who is behind the scenes?"

Green said in a deep voice: "Well, I accidentally got something out of this trip. I'm afraid the two of us need to join hands this time. Of course, this is under your voluntary condition."

…………

Highgarden Castle, Terrace.

In the blue paper-like sky, a few thin white clouds float slowly with the wind.

"Margaery, let me listen."

The speaker was Margaery Tyrell's grandmother, Olenna Redwyne, known as the Queen of Thorns.

Born in the Redwyne family on Arbor Island, 69-year-old Olenna Redwyne has lost her teeth a long time ago. She is short and her silver hair is wrapped in a dark green turban.

[It is rumored that Olenna needs crutches when walking and claims that she is almost deaf, but many people suspect that this is a side of Olenna Redwyne deliberately pretending to confuse outsiders. 】

Olenna rarely shies away from the opportunity to express her opinion, and her wit, wit and sarcasm have earned her the nickname "Queen of Thorns".

Although her grandmother often made fun of members of the Golden Rose family, Margaery knew very well that her grandmother was a staunch supporter of the Golden Rose family's interests.

Margaery understood her grandmother's lack of patience, and with her excellent memory, she immediately told what happened in detail.

After listening to Margaret's narration, Olenna held the armrest of the chair and said, "I don't like this young man's tricks, but I still have to admit that he has some tricks. In the gorgeous rose bushes, an unafraid Rose thorn bugs, what to do with them is up to you and you.”

Margaery nodded obediently, and said, "Grandmother, I know..."

"No, you don't know, my granddaughter."

Olenna interrupted Margaret's words first, paused, and said: "I am a mean old lady, and I have always spoken sharply. No matter how you start, whether you like it or not, you have to let the little bug learn how to behave. Roses gather powder, this is the everlasting golden rose."

Margaery's brown eyes trembled slightly: "Grandma, I never thought you were mean, I can feel that you love me and your family."

The old Olenna could no longer straighten her waist, looking at the youthful and beautiful Margaery, it was as if she was looking at her own youth.

Olenna showed a touch of kindness: "Old lady Olenna, thank the Light of Highgarden for your approval. Come, sit beside me, and let me bathe in the sunshine of the Reach."

Margaret's cheeks were slightly red, she got up and sat down next to Olenna, her white and tender hands gently held Olenna's wrinkled hand.

Olenna's fingers were thin, but Margery reassured her every time she held them.

"My granddaughter, I can feel that you are uneasy, why? Are you worried about my duke son who is like a stupid pig?"

Grandma spared no effort every time she mocked her father.

Over time, grandmother's ridicule has become a part of the Tyrell family. Even his father said with a smile that if he didn't hear his grandmother laughing at him for a while, he would start to feel uncomfortable and always feel that something was missing in his life.

…………

Margaery couldn't help but let out a sneer.

Margaret realized that her behavior was a little rude, but she couldn't stop her smile for a moment, she hurriedly covered her mouth, and shook her head in denial.

Olenna laughed with Margaery for a rare moment, patted the back of her granddaughter's hand, and said, "My Margaery, don't be so strict with yourself, you are not a statue in the garden."

Margaery looked at her grandmother beautifully, and nodded with a blushing face.

Olenna smiled and patted Margaery again. She actually liked seeing Margaery's various uncommon expressions, but she never showed it: "Tell grandma, why are you upset?"

"I'm a little hesitant... After contacting the Queen's Affairs Officer from the Royal Land recently, I felt pressure for the first time, and I found it difficult to deal with him. Father needs my help, and I'm worried that I won't be able to control him."

Olenna replied decisively: "Get rid of him if you can't control it!"

Margaery's pupils dilated.

"You see, the right to choose has always been in your hands, hasn't it? Baron Kleber is just one person, and behind you is the Golden Rose family.

Look at your father, he could have done a better job of putting a wild boar in his place, back then... I was lost in the joy my husband brought in bed, I didn't turn my head around, I didn't find my son in advance I'm so stupid, otherwise I might be able to hit that fat head with a wooden spoon while he was young... Where did I say it?
Well, personal power is insignificant in front of a powerful family, and can even be ignored.

Margaret, you are very talented, and you are still growing. Don't rush to compare your shortcomings with others' strengths. This is unwise. "

Olenna's persuasion completely dissipated the gloom in Margaery's heart: "Grandma, thank you for your kind words, I understand!"

Olenna stared at Margaery for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, I really understand this time."

Olenna said again: "I am an old woman who can't stay idle, and I also know that young man. He reminds me of Tai Wen, who is also a young man who shoulders the responsibility of the family at a young age.

The family was equally bleak when it was passed on to them. If they couldn't do something, the family was doomed to perish forever. "

Margaery's beautiful eyes widened slightly: "Lannister?"

"Well, it's that cunning family of lions that devours gold but claims to pay their debts every day. Now there is a Lannister queen, and the heirs to the Iron Throne all have Lannister blood. But everyone seems to be I have already forgotten that during Tywin's father's time, Lannister's lion roar was a joke!"

At the end of her speech, Olenna raised her hand and tapped on the armrest of the chair.

"It's rare that Baron Kleber can make the Duke of Metz so happy, so let him sit on the position of Prime Minister and live happily and stupidly forever. This is also the opportunity of Golden Rose."

Margaery pursed her lips tightly, watching her grandmother nod solemnly.

　I beg you to vote and push! !
