iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 89 Beauty (4700)

The evening in King's Landing City was not dark, and under the rays of the setting sun, it was stained with a thin layer of blush.

King's Landing, Hook Lane.

Under Green's signal, Samwell took out the key, clicked, and opened the lock on the door.

Didn't you mean the key you picked up randomly... Samwell froze for a moment, scratched his head, and looked at Green.

Green shrugged.

This is Lannister-style cold humor. After Green came to King's Landing, he had been in contact with Lannister for the longest time, and he was already familiar with it.

As long as it is something linked to a golden dragon, the more valuable the item, the more insignificant the Lannisters will describe it.

Entering the courtyard, Green looked up at the three-story white building, and said to James, "Sir James, it really is a small house."

Jaime Lannister smiled and patted Green on the arm.

"Aha, isn't this our Baron Green? Long time no see, hasn't the tenderness of the Reach land trapped you there? Cough... welcome to Kleiber's new house."

Tyrion Lannister walked slowly over as he spoke.

If it weren't for the influence of appearance, Green felt that Tyrion's way of playing was still very good.

James asked puzzledly, "Tyrion, how did you get in here?"

After speaking, James also looked around the high wall of the house.

Tyrion's eyes followed James' gaze, and he said suddenly, "James, my brother, thank you for looking at me, that is my dream."

James spread his hands and asked, "Did I leave you here?"

Tyrion glanced at the unfamiliar Samwell, nodded slightly, walked up to Green and patted Green's... thigh.

"Dear Sir James, thank you for using euphemistic words to describe my rash appearance. Actually, I want to tell you that I saw a lot of books in the study room of this mansion, and I accidentally read them fascinated. When I came back to my senses and went to look for you again, I found that the door couldn’t be opened. So, to be precise, I’m a poor person left here by Lannister.”

James smiled helplessly: "Sorry, I thought you had something to leave first."

Tyrion grinned: "My height is easy to ignore. I may be suitable for an assassin. Be careful, Kingsguard Jaime, Tyrion killers are everywhere."

James twitched the corner of his mouth, not going to answer.

Green had already noticed that Samwell couldn't bear it after hearing about the study.

Green smiled and said, "Sam, go and see where the study is, it will be your territory from now on."

Samwell, with an excited face, nodded his head, and immediately took a step forward.

After walking a few steps, Samwell suddenly stopped, scratched his head for some unknown reason, and walked back again.

Perhaps because of nervousness, Samwell saluted James and Tyrion awkwardly, and then took his leave again.

Tyrion looked at Green, and his tone was full of suspicion: "Green, your eyes tell me that you like him very much. He is the lover you brought in the River Bend? Congratulations, and I will never be with you again I drank unconsciously in front of me."

Green couldn't help laughing, and said, "Your Excellency Tyrion, don't worry, he is my future advisor. Like you, he likes books and has a lot of knowledge in his head."

"Aha, I suddenly fell in love with him after hearing what you said. It seems that you have gained a lot this time, and you have an extra brain by your side."

Green spread his hands: "Well, he will tell me that before drawing the sword, you can say hello politely, and maybe the same effect can be achieved."

Tyrion grinned for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked seriously, "How's the Reach? You know what I'm asking?"

Tyrion is a man of no more than three seconds, but his enthusiasm also infected Green.

Green cooperated with Tyrion, deliberately paused for a while, and said, "The field in Highgarden is full of golden roses. The fruit is so sweet that it will burst in your mouth..."

There was unabashed impatience on Tyrion's face.

Green raised his face and smiled, and continued: "The weather in the Reach is very hot, so hot that the girls in the Reach can't wear long clothes, they only wear sleeveless shorts... When it's hot, the riverside is even hotter. A landscape of white flowers."

Only then did Tyrion nodded in satisfaction, and said, "This is the beauty of the Reach in my impression."

Green stretched out his hand and invited James and Tyrion into the house.

Green and James slowed down tacitly, letting Tyrion walk ahead alone.

Green looked at James: There is no chance to talk today.

James looked back: It's okay, don't rush this moment.

Green and James quietly communicated with each other with their eyes behind Tyrion.

The waves of Shipwreck Bay kept coming up and hitting the rocks, leaving circles of white foam.

Stormlands, the outskirts of Storm's End.

Brienne is the only surviving child of Selwyn Tarth, Lord of Evenfall Hall, and lives on the island of Tarth, close to the Narrow Sea and the Stormlands.

Brienne's father, Lord Selwyn Tarth, has been trying to find a suitable marriage partner for Brienne.Although this was not an easy task, Selwyn still found three men for his daughter, three men who had taken a fancy to Brienne's inheritance.

Brienne has been surprisingly tall since she was a child, and her figure is as strong as a man's.

Brienne loves to dance with swords, and her dream when she grows up is to become a knight.

Brienne is innocent and straightforward, but a little headstrong and stubborn.

When the third engagement object was broken by Brienne, Earl Selwyn stopped his plan to find a marriage partner for Brienne, and sent his daughter to Storm's End to teach Sir Goodwin combat skills .

Brienne and Ser Goodwin learned how to fight more delicately with the longsword and how to fight in plate mail.

The period of studying with Sir Goodwin was a rare and happy time for Brienne.

However, Sir Goodwin died of illness.

"You have the strength of a man, but you still have the heart of a woman. It's one thing to train with a blunt sword in the yard, but it's another thing to stab a foot-long sword into someone's belly and watch the light in their eyes fade away. Another matter."

"On the battlefield, a moment's worth a lifetime. I saw the man draw his dagger and thrust it into the chinks in my friend's armor. His strength, his speed, his valor, all hard-trained feats . . . The actor farted. All because he flinched when he was supposed to hit the killer."

Brienne recalls what Ser Goodwin taught her.

…………

When Green was in the royal forest, he also thought about Brienne, the beauty of Tarth.

Most men in Westeros, even women, have a colored attitude towards women holding swords, and Brienne's situation is definitely worse than those Green knows.

This is also the reason why Green didn't bring a female warrior from the Crab Claw Peninsula when he came to King's Landing, because there is no need to stand alone when the strength is weak, which will only increase unnecessary troubles.

Unless Green's ambition is limited to the Crab Claw Peninsula, the Kleiber family wants to go out of the Crab Claw Peninsula and improve everyone's inherent impression of the Crab Claw Peninsula. It is also an important task that cannot be ignored.

The special environment of the Crab Claw Peninsula has created a Thorn Corps dominated by Spearwives. Green feels that this stage will have a lot of attraction for Brienne.

Green hopes that Brienne, who is strong in combat skills, honest and loyal, can join the Thorn Corps, and at the right time, walk out of the Crab Claw Peninsula with the Thorn Corps and win her prestige.

But he knew that the current Brienne girl Huaichun had a crush on her lord, Renly Baratheon, Duke of Storm's End.

Brienne's character will not leave the Stormlands until the time is right.

…………

Samwell's sudden joining made Green change his mind.

According to later understanding, Samwell was dragged by Tara and Dickon to accompany them to watch Green's ring challenge.

It was this coincidence that made Green and Samwell meet.

It was also the acquaintance of the two that made Samwell not forced by his father to put on black clothes to join the Night Watchman Corps like in the original plot, but voluntarily chose to leave Horn Hill and join the Green camp.

Therefore, on the way back to King's Landing, Green arranged some things in advance. For example, he sent Angai, who was relatively eloquent among the guards, to contact Brienne in advance.

…………

An Gai was entrusted with a "heavy task" by Green, which made him very excited.

An Gai felt that he was one step closer to being a knight by the lord.

Anguy had some information provided by Green and his experience as a mercenary. After arriving at Storm's End, he easily found out where Brienne was.

[Green's source of information, the excuse is that he overheard it while hunting in the imperial forest]

Brienne was very tall, and her face was round and rough and freckled, and her teeth were protruding, and her mouth was terrible wide, and her lips were very thick... Her hair was golden, but it was like dirty straw, Fragile and dry.

This was Anguy's first impression of Brienne.

…………

Most of Brienne's life is ridiculed by others, and at best... just a little pity by others.

Because of Renly, Brienne of the girl Huaichun once tried to dress herself according to the standards of noble ladies, but because of her unfeminine appearance and uncoordinated attire, she got more ridicule from everyone.

Brienne gave up the woman's dress in frustration, resumed the familiar male warrior costume, and continued to suffer from the gender-based contempt and discrimination around her.

Due to these factors, Brienne not only looks clumsy in appearance, but also looks dull in character.

Angai didn't rush to contact Brienne, but observed secretly while looking for a suitable meeting occasion.

Anguy, who was watching secretly, witnessed that Brienne, who was big and round, challenged a swordsman who had spoken ill of the late Sir Goodwin in private amidst the laughter of the crowd.

Brienne's sword skills are open and closed. Although she lacks a bit of skill, she seems to be full of explosive power.

Anguy felt that Brienne's swordsmanship style was very similar to Kleiber's combat style, which pursued one-hit kills.

The dull Brienne seemed to be a completely different person after entering the battle. In the battle, she shone with the most confident light.

An Gai unconsciously thought of Monton Vishui, who was usually simple and honest, but became like a beast when he entered the battle.

Brienne, she's a born fighter.

…………

The fight was quickly and cleanly ended by Brienne.

Everyone hissed and dispersed, leaving only the swordsman lying on the ground unable to get up, but still cursing.

An Gai found the right time, kicked the person unconscious, and said friendly to Brienne: "Good day, Ms. Brienne."

Brienne paused slightly at Anguy's words.

Brienne ignored Angai who offered to greet her, but put away her sword and strode away.

Brienne's reaction stumped Anguy.

Angai thought about the task on his body, and followed Brienne.

Angai, who was a natural archer, did not lack patience, and silently followed all the way.

Finally, Brienne stopped and looked at Angai: "What's your name?"

Brienne's voice was low and husky like a man's.

An Gai stroked his chest in salute: "My name is An Gai, and I am Baron Kleiber's personal bodyguard."

Brienne's hand holding the sword hilt moved slightly, and said, "I think you should be very powerful..."

An Gai thought, is this going to fight me?
"But I don't want to get married."

Anguy froze at Brienne's next words.

A gust of wind blew through, making Brienne's hair even more messy.

An Gai, who was psychologically strong, covered his mouth and coughed dryly, and said, "Ma'am, please don't misunderstand me. I came here to see you on the order of the lord."

Brienne changed her stance and said, "Baron Kleber?"

An Gai nodded, and said, "Yes, ma'am. Our territory has an all-female regiment called the Thorn Corps. Our lord is in the royal forest and heard about you by accident."

Brienne's expression was stiff, and Angai couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he could only continue to say: "If one day the lady has the idea to go out and have a look, Baron Green Kleber sincerely invites you to join Kleiber's Thorn Corps .”

Brienne was silent for a while, nodded, and said: "I see, I will remember, please thank Baron Green Kleiber for me."

After speaking, Brienne turned around and walked away.

An Gai saw that Brienne left simply, and raised her voice worriedly: "Ms. Brienne! The name of the commander of the Thorn Troops is Emparo! She will be canonized as a knight soon! I invite you to watch the canonization ceremony at that time." !"

Brienne stopped and glanced sideways at Anguy.

Although it was a little distance away, Anguy, who had excellent eyesight, could still see Brienne's expression clearly.

The corners of his lips moved, and his jaw nodded.

Angai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Kleber Mansion, Hook Lane, at night.

dong dong dong.

Receiving a response, Monton Weishui entered the study with a pot of meat.

"Good night, Lord Samwell."

Samwell Tarly raised his head from the book, looked at the simple and honest Monton, and said with a smile: "Good night, Monton, you can call me Sam directly."

Monton smiled innocently, and gently placed the pot full of barbecue beside Samwell, saying: "Sam, I invite you to eat meat."

Samwell smiled shyly, expressed his thanks, grabbed a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to chew.

Monton looked at Samwell with a naive face.

Samwell swallowed the meat in his mouth, wiped his hands, and said, "Monton, what can I do for you?"

Monton's big head nodded, he smiled again, and then said, "Sam, I want to ask you, how can I be a good regiment commander?"

Monton has a very outstanding intuition, which tells him that Samwell knows a lot of things that ordinary people don't.

He had been on the road before, and Monton couldn't find a chance to ask Sam for advice.

Tonight, Monton, who found an opportunity, took out the highest standard thing for him, a pot of roast lamb, in order to show his sincerity.

Although Samwell didn't dare to swing a sword himself, in order to get his father's approval, he carefully studied all the books on military affairs in Hornburg.

Samwell thought about it for a while, and said: "Monton, the first task of the regiment commander is to lead the regiment to defeat the enemy. I think you can learn from His Majesty Robert. His invincible hammer is the guarantee of victory for the army."

Samwell lowered his voice, and said: "The Battle of the Trident River, King Robert killed Prince Rhaegar with a warhammer, bringing a decisive victory."

Battle of the Trident?what is that?Who is Rhaegar?
Monton scratched his head and said, "Sam, do you mean to find a chance to kill the enemy's leader so that you can win?"

"Yes, this is the method I think is more suitable for you."

Monton said honestly: "Sam, this seems to be similar to my previous fighting style. When I was fighting, I like to focus on the enemy's leader the most. As long as I can't run away, they can't stop me."

Samwell froze for a moment, and said, "Are you so powerful?"

Samwell hurriedly explained: "I don't doubt your strength, I found out that you are very strong on the way..."

Monton shook his head and said, "I didn't misunderstand you, do I have to find a chance to show you how I fight first?"

Samwell agreed: "This is the best way. I will study it carefully and tell you later."

"Sam, you eat meat... tell me what else does the commander of the regiment know besides fighting?"
