Game of Thrones: I'm flying a dragon on your face, how do you respond? - Chapter 82
c82 Official opening of the Game of Thrones
“Oh? Jon Arryn is dead?” Jaehaerys was not surprised. When he arranged for the inner guards to constantly remind Stannis, Jon’s death was already doomed.
What Jaehaerys asked them to do was to inadvertently reveal certain characteristics of their past life’s genetics.
As for the inner security spies, they are well aware of those specious rumors. They never tell the secrets through their own mouths. They only talk about the shortcomings of the Zhang family and the Li family. As for what people who are interested can hear and interpret it.
What the hell does Dragonstone have to do with him?
Some people in King’s Landing also started to add fuel to the flames, fearing that they would not be able to stir up chaos in the world.
The fact is just as Jaehaerys expected, Littlefinger, Pycelle, and Cersei all appeared on stage, and they sang the first excerpt of the Game of Thrones.
“Tell Long Yi, I want to eat fish!” Jaehaerys ordered. The bigger the wind, the more expensive the fish. After many years of planning, it is finally time to fish in troubled waters!
The entire Dragonstone Island inner-guard spies began to take action, a huge fishing net of conspiracies and lies headed towards the King’s Landing Net.
Pycelle told Robert that Jon Arryn died because of his old age and the hot weather. Lord Arryn liked to add ice cubes to the wine he drank to cool down, which eventually led to cold stomach and diarrhea.
His views are consistent with those of the young Maester Colemont of the Eyrie, but their treatment plans are quite different. Colemont advocates active treatment, while Pycelle recommends letting nature take its course.
It was impossible to tell which one was better, and the next day when His Majesty Robert was preparing to send Robert Arryn to Tywin Lannister to be his adopted son.
But it was discovered that Jon’s widow Lysa Arryn had escaped from King’s Landing with her son.
“What a joke. Am I going to kill my adoptive father’s only heir?” Robert became furious after drinking. What made him even more chilling was that even his biological brother, Lord Stannis of Summer Hall, did not leave without saying goodbye. .
This hurt him so much!
Fortunately, above the court, there are also Renly, the Minister of Justice, and Petyr, the Minister of Finance whom he single-handedly promoted. They are all his confidants, so that he will not feel isolated and helpless.
The Queen and Archmaester Pycelle kept nagging in his ear about the appointment of the new Prime Minister, giving him a splitting headache.
“Duke Tywin, your father-in-law, has served as prime minister for more than 20 years. Under his rule, the country is peaceful and the people are safe… He is your best choice for prime minister!”
Damn it, listen to it, Lannister’s daughter became the queen, and if Tywin becomes Handle again, the entire kingdom will fall into his hands. The Dance of the Dragons a hundred years ago is a lesson learned.
“The kingdom cannot lack a responsible Prime Minister!” Robert said, and I know who is the most suitable candidate, yes! I always knew it!
Who are my friends and who are my enemies, I always know! A lion can never satisfy his appetite, but a wolf values honor more than life!
“Come here, prepare your bags, I’m going to Winterfell!” He gave the order, and the entire King’s Landing took action.
Hundreds of heavily armed knights and thousands of golden robes began to prepare to break camp, accompanied by the “fearless” Barristan Selmy and Jaime Lannister of the Kingsguard.
Before setting off, Robert asked the remaining Kingsguard and Renly to guard King’s Landing to prevent a surprise attack on Dragonstone.
Even though Dragonstone Island has not shown an aggressive posture in recent years, it is like a nail, nailed to the outlet of Blackwater Bay, turning the entire Royal Fleet into the Blackwater River Fleet!
And they have always called themselves Queens of the Seven Kingdoms.
Robert would never have left King’s Landing if he hadn’t known that his good friend Ned would never agree to serve as Hand if he hadn’t gone all the way to the North to recruit.
When the Queen’s Wheel Palace was ready, the graceful Queen and her three children, who were also made of pink and jade, lived in the Wheel Palace.
Robert ordered the mighty team to set off, and air vigilance must be maintained along the way.
He was afraid that the dragon on Dragonstone might attack at any time.
In fact, he was overthinking it. Dragonstone Island has been laid out for many years. If he wanted to seize the opportunity to take back the Iron Throne, the flying dragon would have attacked him and run away. What could he do?
Jaehaerys’s desire was great, and it was not just the gain or loss of a city or a land. It was easy to break the thief in the mountain, but it was difficult to break the thief in the heart.
On the first day before Robert left, Ser Boros Braun went to the seafood merchant on Silk Street that he was familiar with as usual. The seafood merchants here were all high-end goods.
Originally, his income could not support the high consumption here, but who would have thought that a few years ago, a young man told him that he was an old friend and insisted on treating him to a meal of black gold abalone from the Summer Islands.
After it was done, he also said that he would treat him to brick red abalone, clear edge abalone, reticulated abalone and so on.
How could this be tolerated by Braun, a seafood gourmet?
Ever since he put on his white robe, neither married nor enfeoffed land, he only enjoyed this food.
The two of them got to know each other after going back and forth, and now the young man said that he was from Dragonstone Island, Mr. Purr from the Red Castle more than ten years ago. Do you still remember him?
Oh, I was a little impressed. Braun gave the young man a deep look. Only a few people knew about this.
If he was not dead, he would have been sent to the Great Wall, and he was pardoned by Robert because the Braun family had not offended the Baratheon and Lannister families, and he seemed honest and reliable.
Later, in the tournament, he was selected as the White Robe Knight because of his outstanding performance.
Prill has a bloody feud with the Lannister. Tywin’s third brother died in a wildfire ambush, and he himself is said to have disabled his left hand.
Not to mention the Prior family’s hatred of lions…
Master Prior learned that Boros was now a member of the Kingsguard, and was grateful for his favor back then, so he went out of his way to repay the favor.
All it takes is Ser Braun, if necessary…
So that’s what happened, then it’s okay!
Today’s white-robed knights are divided into two factions, one is the pro-Lion faction and the other is the King’s faction.
From the headcount ratio alone, 4:3, the pro-Lion faction has always been stronger than the King’s faction. When the Greyjoy rebellion was put down a few years ago, a pro-Lion white-robed knight died in battle, and a new knight from Ancient Oak City was added. A member of the Oakheart family, he has not yet shown any obvious political leanings, and the white-robed knights have regained balance.
Some of them also sell information to others and accept bribes from certain forces.
And what he did did not threaten the safety of the king, but only targeted the Lannister family and the “Kingslayer”.
Riding on the tall horse, Boros remembered the young man’s instructions, just help keep an eye on Sir James along the way. If there is any abnormal behavior, he can report it to the king…
Or Captain of the Kingsguard, it was his responsibility, no one could say.
It’s that simple, he thought to himself as he weighed the heavy bag of money in his pocket and the shares of a company carefully sewn into the lining.
