iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 96 Proof of Faithfulness
The candlelight flickered gently, and the faint blue light shone on the tip of the fire, illuminating the dark room.

James moved his lips, but in the end he didn't continue to speak. If he continued to explain to Green, the effect would only be worse.

Cersei is on the verge of a rage, and his continued presence will only add fuel to the flames.

James wanted to leave directly, but hesitated.

It's about Cersei's safety, and he won't rest assured of anyone.

"Ser James."

Green's voice caught James' attention.

Green had already untied the long sword at his waist, and seeing James looking over, he threw it towards James.

As soon as James reached out to catch the long sword, his face was slightly embarrassed, his eyes were blinded by love, and he subconsciously ignored Green's character.

The keen Green is a detail-oriented person, and James' knight heart was once again teased by Green.

Within James' sight, Green nodded slightly and gave him a reassuring look.

James looked down at Green's saber, the corners of his lips curled up, and after nodding towards Cersei, he flicked his cloak and walked away.

Tatata... James nodded slightly as he passed by Green, and the haughty Jaime Lannister expressed his apology.

…………

With a bang, the door of the room was closed, and only Green and Cersei were in the room.

Green understands Cersei's temperament, so he can always catch Cersei's coolness when he does things.

As time goes by, Green not only improves Cersei's favor, but also unknowingly increases Cersei's trust.

Green's trust in Cersei's heart increased, and Cersei included him in the kingdom plan she envisioned.

When her plan is successful, Cersei's vision is: after Joffrey sits on the Iron Throne, James will serve as the captain of the iron guard, and Green will serve as the commander-in-chief of the Royal Forest Guard.

Through them, Cersei will be regent of the kingdom, controlling the Seven Kingdoms until Joffrey comes of age.

Cersei trusted Green so much, but Green accepted King Robert's reward and canonization.

…………

Cersei was furious when she heard the news, how could Green betray her? !
She is a Lannister, and the lion will never allow her to betray her!
Cersei has already arranged the most elite Lannister red robes, if Green can't give her a satisfactory answer today, she will kill him herself!
Did Queen Cersei give Green a chance to defend herself because she was softhearted?no!

Green has already shown his value, plus James' persuasion... Although James' persuasion did not play a decisive role, it also had a certain effect.

Also, Green came to Mega Tower for the first time to seek an audience.

These reasons made Cersei reluctant to choose to do it directly, but willing to give Green a chance to prove himself.

…………

Tread...Green moved his steps calmly, and stood two or three steps away from Queen Xi.

Cersei raised her chin and said coldly: "Have you been surrounded by compliments recently? Does it feel like a dream to be trusted by the king and the prime minister at the same time? Earl Green?"

When Cersei finally spoke of Lord Green, her tone was full of sarcasm.

Green still just looked at Cersei calmly, without speaking.

Facing Green like this, Cersei's anger burst into flames with a groan.

Her voice rose: "Is there nothing to say? Loyalty without fear, your timidity makes me laugh, are you here to beg me to reward you with a dress? Or...you..."

"Baron Green! What are you doing!" In a hurry, Cersei used the habitual address.

Green took two steps at a time, moved his body, and carried Cersei on his shoulders.

Queen Cersei doesn't play cards according to common sense, and Green can too, depending on the situation.

"You are offending! I will cut off your head!"

Cersei struggled vigorously with her hands and feet, but was carried away steadily by Green.

The furious Cersei thumped Green's back twice before stopping her hand.

Grimm was in plate armor, and Cersei had a sore hand.

When Cersei finally realizes that she can still pull Grimm's hair, she is placed on a chair before she can do it.

Cersei was sat down firmly by Green, and her weight seemed to be nothing in Green's hands.

Green knelt next to Cersei on one knee, holding one of her hands with both hands: "My lord, loyalty is not afraid of trials."

Cersei tried to shake off Green's hand, but seeing that it didn't work, she didn't continue.

Green's offensive behavior, but Cersei found that most of her anger had dissipated unknowingly, and it actually made her feel Green's loyalty.

The slightly embarrassed Queen Cersei raised her chin slightly, and looked down at Green: "Green, you are offending the queen, I can hang you up."

Green's tone was sad: "Your Highness, please forgive me for being stupid. I really don't want to be misunderstood by you. I am very heartbroken."

Cersei's green eyes trembled slightly, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and her tone was cold: "So, you chose to carry your queen on your shoulders, you are very brave."

In fact, Cersei was surprised by Green's attitude after seeing her, not kneeling and begging for mercy as she thought, which made her feel a little fresh.

Queen Cersei raised her chin slightly and said, "You are still offending your queen, you should kiss my shoes and beg for my forgiveness."

Green gently raised Cersei's hand, lowered his head and nodded symbolically on the back of his hand, and said: "Your Highness, you are as noble as you, and there is no shortage of people who kneel down. You always exude an innate charm, conquer For everyone, I am not an alternative, I have already sunk... I choose to hide, I am satisfied with the status quo, I am worried about losing, and I dare not offend."

Cersei snorted coldly and said, "Are you finally willing to move your tongue now?"

Green said, "The lion's anger overwhelms me, please forgive me for being stupid for a while."

Cersei stared into Green's eyes for a while, and said, "Lord Green, get up. The armor on your body is cold and hard, making me very uncomfortable."

Green got up obediently and backed away, stroked his chest and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness."

Cersei snorted coldly, raised her chin, got up from the chair, walked slowly to the dressing table, and sat down again.

Cersei looked at the mirror and adjusted her makeup, and said, "Forgiveness? Earl Green, you chose to betray."

Green's tone was slightly mocking: "Your Majesty, what did King Robert give me except for a vacant seat? The land was recovered by myself, and it was still my own clan land. Their purpose has always been the same, that is, to take my place. Transferred away from you."

Cersei glanced at Green through the mirror, and said coldly: "I naturally understand that it is your cowardice that caused my anger."

Boss Cersei has just finished venting her anger, and Green needs to work harder.

Green no longer argued, but walked over, picked up a comb from the table, and helped Cersei comb her hair carefully.

Only then did Queen Cersei show a satisfied look: "What do you plan to do?"

"I plan to go to Essos soon."

Hearing that, the anger in Cersei's eyes appeared again.

However, Green's next words made Cersei's anger that was about to rise immediately dissipated.

"Government affairs are just by the way. I mainly want to purchase some small items for you, and do my best to add a little brilliance to you."

Cersei glanced sideways at Green, and said, "The little girl might be entertained by you."

Green put away the comb.

Queen Cersei looked left and right through the mirror, and said, "Good workmanship, servant Green."

Green nodded humbly: "Thank you for your praise, it is an honor for Green's servant."

Cersei raised the corners of her lips, stood up with her skirt in hand, and turned to approach Green.

Green felt Queen Cersei's breath again.

Green's eyes quivered slightly, and he felt Cersei's hand reach down.

However, Queen Cersei immediately frowned, Green's ancestral armor was perfectly fitted, and Lancel's scene was never repeated.

Cersei withdrew her hand naturally, and stroked Green's cheek again: "Don't let King Robert get what he wants easily, do you understand?"

Cersei hated Robert so much, she wanted him to die.

"Don't worry, for me, your order is the final order."

Cersei nodded her chin in satisfaction: "What are you going to do?"

Green's Adam's apple rolled: "My information over there will be handed over to the Imperial Council through you."

Cersei patted Green's breastplate and said, "I won't give you too long. You should know how to prove your loyalty to me. I also want to prove your loyalty."

Green, who was possessed by the smoldering man, took a deep breath, his cheeks flushed slightly.

Cersei smiled, raised her chin, and said, "Stand back, Lord Green."

Green stroked his chest and retreated, and left the room with slightly unnatural steps.

…………

Outside the door, Green and James looked at each other and shrugged.

James smiled and handed Green's sword over.

Green took the saber and fastened it, took out a silver stag, and threw it at James.

After James caught the silver deer, Green said, "Storage fee."

James smiled and shook his head, and the awkward atmosphere between the two of them disappeared instantly.

James also joked: "The next price increase will be a golden dragon."

Green stretched out two fingers, then gestured towards the door with his eyes, turned and left.

James curled his lips and glanced at Green's back, before re-entering the room.

…………

Entering the room, James found Cersei sitting silently in a chair.

"That kid has a good character and is more reliable than many people."

While speaking, James stepped closer to Cersei.

Cersei seemed to have just noticed James entering the room, glanced at the armor on James, and frowned slightly: "Hmph, he is the commander in gold robes I have prepared, the captain of my iron guard, Sir James."

Cersei never hides her ambitions from Jaime.

James persuaded helplessly: "Cersei, I can support you, but we can't be impatient, this matter is very big..."

Cersei interrupted impatiently: "James, I know, you don't need to repeat it."

After that, Cersei frowned again, and continued: "James, why are you still wearing armor, that thing is cold and hard, unarmor for me!"

Cersei's sudden angry words made James look down at the armor on his body in doubt.

…………

…………

King's Landing, Hook Lane.

Davos Seaworth, who looked tired, looked up at the starry night sky for a while, and regained his energy.

How does Davos, known as the Onion Knight, plan to help Lord Stannis Baratheon sit in the Hand of the King?

Davos' plan is the joint recommendation of the nobles and the self-recommendation of Duke Stannis.

Davos naturally understood that the biggest difficulty would be King Robert, but he believed that under the joint recommendation of many nobles, King Robert, who was indulging in food, wine and sex, had to compromise for the stability of the kingdom and appointed Duke Stannis as king hand.

He couldn't imagine that after Prime Minister Jon, anyone but Duke Stannis could govern a kingdom that was already bad enough.

Davos has secretly visited many royal nobles and obtained certain promises.

Tomorrow, Davos will set off for his main destination, Baratheon's clan - Stormlands.

The running process was as difficult as Davos imagined, but Davos felt that as long as Duke Stannis could sit on the Prime Minister's position smoothly, it would all be worth it.

Everything he owns has been bestowed upon him by Lord Stannis.

Lord Stannis knighted him, allowing him to sit alongside other nobles and even command the royal fleet.

Davos has seven sons.

Today, the eldest son Dale is the captain of the "Sea Spirit", the second son Allard is the captain of the "Lady Maria", the third son Malik is the oars officer of the "Fury", and the fourth son Mathos is under his command. He served as the first mate on the "Black Bertha", and his fifth son, Devan, was about to be accepted by Duke Stannis as the Duke's squire, and he would be knighted one day.

His two younger sons, Stannis and Stephen, will follow the same path in the future.

His wife Maria became the hostess of the small castle in Cape Wrath, and the servants had to call her Madam, and Davos could hunt red deer in his own forest.

…………

Stannis had given them all, at the price of a few knuckles.

Stannis had justly punished him. He had flouted the law of the king in the past, and that was the punishment he deserved. Stannis had made him anew.

Now, Stannis still honors him with trust.

…………

Davos also heard in King's Landing that Green was given a mansion by Queen Cersei, and Lannister's actions always make people sigh.

Queen Cersei, who was born in Lannister, would not be generous to others for no reason. Through this news, Davos has confirmed that Green's reputation as the queen's favorite is by no means false.

Duke Stannis is a rare talent. Facing Lannister's golden dragon, Davos can only rely on the personal charm of Duke Stannis.

Davos turned his thoughts, and after entering the house under the guidance of his attendants, he saw Green waiting in the hall.

Brown-haired and brown-eyed Davos is ordinary-looking, with a thick gray beard, dressed in black robes, and looks thin.

Davos was visiting on behalf of Duke Stannis, and Green took the initiative to greet him and said, "Good night, Sir Davos, please pay my respects to Duke Stannis for me. It's an honor to meet you."

Davos nodded back and said, "Good night, Earl Green, on behalf of Duke Stannis, thank you for your greetings, it is an honor to meet you."

After Green and Davos completed the meeting etiquette meticulously, the two sat down.

Green's face was gentle, and he said: "Sir Davos, the due diligence of the royal fleet has allowed my port to develop with peace of mind. I have always wanted to express my gratitude in person, but I did not expect that the opportunity is close at hand."

Davos said in a humble tone: "Earl Green, this is the duty of the royal fleet and the merit of Duke Stannis."

Green nodded slightly, and said, "Duke Stannis is like a pillar of the kingdom, and I admire him very much."

Davos sighed slightly: "Yes, I also agree with your point of view. Duke Stannis has always been just and diligent, and he has to be admired."

Green's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Yes, the gods can prove it."
