Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory - Chapter 365

c364 queen or king

“Do you hate him so much? Jia Kun.” Linde wiped his hands and turned to look at the woman who sneaked into the house silently.

At this moment, Jia Kun appeared as an ordinary-looking woman. She was able to avoid the Sisters of Redemption, the Silent Monks and the Chosen Sons in the mansion, and sneak into the room silently, relying on more than just… Not only is her superb stealth ability, it also involves more mysterious powers, such as the power of the Thousand Faced God and so on.

“I no longer hate him.” Jia Kun looked at Linde calmly and said, “But someone’s debt must be recovered.”

“What now? Have you finished collecting it?” Linde asked.

“It’s just the beginning.” Jia Kun said calmly.

“No matter how you want to collect debts, I hope you will stop taking advantage of the Stark family.” Linde looked at Jia Kun seriously and said, “With your ability, you can easily sneak into the Red Keep. , there is no need to use Sansa to enter the Red Keep, and there is no need for Arya Stark to cooperate with you. There is no need for you to put those two little girls in danger. The Stark family has already suffered enough. It’s time for them to have a stable life.”

Jia Kun said calmly: “Someone did not ask the Stark family to join someone’s revenge. The Stark family just heard that they could avenge the Lannister family and kill Joffrey I. Asking to assist someone’s plan without thinking twice.”

Linde sighed, shook his head, and said, “You seem to have made a mistake. I’m not asking you to agree, nor am I asking for your explanation. I just hope you won’t take advantage of the Starks anymore. ”

Jia Kun nodded and said, “Yes, someone understands, and the Stark family is no longer needed for the next actions.”

Lind directly exposed Jia Kun’s subsequent plan and said: “The next action is to put Tyrion on trial, then force Tyrion to use the method of trial by combat to resolve the unfairness of the verdict, and then let the Red Viper represent Tyrion in the trial. Judgment, versus the Demon Mountain?”

Jia Kun was silent for a long time and said, “Has someone’s plan been leaked?”

Linde said solemnly: “No, it’s a prophecy. Someone predicted your plan.”

“Prophecy?” Jia Kun then thought of something, turned his head and looked in the direction of the courtyard where Shilin was, and said suddenly: “So that’s it.”

“Do you know where Patchface’s strength comes from?” Linde asked in a deep voice.

Jia Kun simply replied: “An ancient existence, even older than the Drowned God. Don’t worry, that existence will only appear when it knows that the world will be destroyed, wake up, and rise from the bottom of the sea together with that great city to welcome us.” The end of the world.”

After hearing this, Linde immediately thought of a name in his mind, but he did not say it out, nor did he continue to ask, because he felt that if he continued to ask about it, he might touch some taboo.

Jia Kun asked with concern at this time: “Since someone knows the plan, will someone stop it?”

“Besides Tywin, who else is your target?” Lind asked again.

Jia Kun shook his head and said: “The debt owed by the old lion naturally only needs to be repaid by the old lion. Someone will give the old lion a decent death.”

“Decent?” Lind certainly knew how Duke Tywin would die in the end. That kind of death was not considered decent, but he didn’t say anything and just nodded.

After confirming Linde’s attitude, Jia Kun did not take him any further. After walking out of the room, he sneaked away.

Not long after Jia Kun left, Sansa took the initiative to see Linde and confessed to Linde how she helped Arya and Jia Kun enter the banquet.

After hearing Sansa’s confession, Lind asked: “Have you ever considered that what you did was just a pawn for others?”

“Already thought about it,” Sansa replied.

Linde asked again: “Then tell me, whose chess piece are you?”

Sansa was stunned, hesitated, and guessed: “It’s the House of Black and White that trained Arya to become the Faceless One.”

Lind asked with interest: “When did you know Arya was a Faceless Man?”

“Arya told me from the beginning.” Sansa said with a trace of sadness in her eyes: “She told me all her experiences. I didn’t expect that she would experience so many dangers of life and death, and I didn’t expect that she would be harmed. She suffered so much and even gave up everything to become a faceless killer, but as a sister, I couldn’t protect her at all. I…”

Lind did not let Sansa continue and asked: “Have you ever thought that everything Arya told you was just to make you feel guilty and then agree to help her enter the Red Keep and assassinate Joffrey?”

“Ah?” Sansa was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, “It’s impossible, Arya wouldn’t lie to me, she…”

In the end, Sansa was a little unconfident in her own judgment, because she also found that Arya had changed a lot, so much that it seemed like she had become a different person.

Lind looked at Sansa and said: “Being a pawn is not scary, but in a plan, everyone knows that you are a pawn and can use you, but you don’t know it. This is a bit scary!”

Sansa was stunned, not knowing what to say.

Lind sighed and revealed the answer directly, saying: “The chess players who use you are not only the House of Black and White, but also the Queen of Thorns of the Tyrell family, the Red Viper of the Martell family, and your stepfather Roose Bolton. , maybe even your mother, Duchess Caitlin, knows.”

Hearing Lind’s words, Sansa was stunned. After a long time, she confirmed: “Do they all want to kill Joffrey?”

Lind nodded and said: “Joffrey is just a chess piece, a chess piece that must be discarded.”

Sansa shook her head repeatedly and said, “Isn’t that right? What is their purpose of killing Joffrey? What benefits can they gain?”

Lind did not answer, but pointed at Sansa’s head and said: “Think, think seriously, you have got enough clues, now calm down, think seriously, think about the purpose of these people What exactly is it for?”

After hearing this, Sansa immediately calmed herself down, and then carefully thought about what she had seen and what Lind had just reminded her. After about a quarter of an hour, she slowly said: “Their real target is Tai temperature.”

“Why Tywin?” Lind asked.

“Because only in this way can they all benefit from this matter.” After calming down, Sansa’s IQ also recovered, and she analyzed: “Arya killed Tywin for revenge, and the Queen of Thorns killed Tywin. It was for the Tyrell family to monopolize power. The Red Viper Oberon killed Tywin for revenge, but it was to avenge Princess Elia Martell. As for Roose Bolton, he was probably doing it for the Riverlands. Those territories, because if Duke Tywin does not die, he will have no way to intervene in the fertile territories of the Riverlands. ”

“Then tell me what they will do next?” Linde asked in a deep voice.

Sansa shook her head and said, “I don’t know, but I must be related to the little devil Tyrion.”

Linde did not ask any more questions and said: “When things here are over, I will send you back to Winterfell. At that time, Daisy will assist you in handling the affairs of Winterfell until you can handle various affairs and organize That’s it for the defense team.”

Hearing Linde’s words, Sansa couldn’t help but smile on her face, and she looked very excited.

After learning about the situation of her brothers, Sansa knew that she must take on the important task of rebuilding Winterfell and governing the North, so she has been working hard to learn how to govern the territory, but she was worried that Lind would not let go. She was returning to Winterfell, so she had always been in an uneasy mood. Now that she knew the exact time of her return, her nervousness had relaxed, and her emotions were reflected on her face, and she couldn’t hide it no matter what.

The death of Joffrey I was a surprise to most people, but the person who killed Joffrey I turned out to be his uncle Tyrion. This is an even bigger surprise.

However, for Tywin, the most important thing now is not to judge Tyrion, but to let Tommen inherit the throne and become Tommen I.

However, it is different from Joffrey having Robert’s will as a basis. Joffrey died too suddenly and did not even leave any last words, so whether Tommen is qualified to sit on the Iron Throne is open to question. .

Because when Tywin proposed at the royal council that Tommen should immediately ascend the throne and sit on the Iron Throne, the Red Viper gave another option, which was to let Myrcella Baratheon become the lord of the Iron Throne.

For the Dornish people, women have the same right to inherit as men, so it is not unthinkable for Myrcella to succeed.

Moreover, Myrcella’s succession to the throne also has a great benefit, that is, Myrcella is Linde’s daughter-in-law. With Linde’s support, Myrcella’s throne will be unshakable.

And the more important point is that Myrcella is the wife of Augustus Terra, the future king of Lorne. Once Myrcella succeeds to the throne, the seven kingdoms of Westeros will be able to peacefully reconcile with Lorne. Merge into one and become an unprecedented huge empire.

Although in the Seven Kingdoms, except for Dorne, women’s inheritance rights are after male heirs, Tywin can completely veto the red viper’s disruptive proposal, but the problem is that the inheritance of the Iron Throne now involves Lind, so this matter The matter cannot be solved by a simple imperial meeting.

Including the Tyrell family, the dignitaries of the Seven Kingdoms who participated in the Royal Council were all vague about who would inherit the Iron Throne. No one was willing to risk offending Lynd by denying Myrcella’s inheritance.

“Actually, we shouldn’t rush to choose the king or the queen now. After all, Queen Cersei is supervising the country now, and Duke Tywin is in charge of King’s Landing. The seven kingdoms will not be in chaos because the Iron Throne is temporarily vacant.” From participating in the royal meeting. From the beginning, Roose Bolton, who had never taken the initiative to speak, suddenly said: “The most important thing now is to judge the little devil Tyrell, so that the death of His Majesty Joffrey has a clear result, and also to the people of the Seven Kingdoms. The lords and nobles must explain that after all, His Majesty Joffrey was assassinated in such a despicable way in full view of the public. If this matter is not dealt with as soon as possible, it will definitely have an extremely adverse impact on the Seven Kingdoms. By then, everyone will Because of some hatred, you poisoned your opponent. I wonder if you can drink any wine or water with peace of mind at that time? ”

Hearing Roose Bolton’s words, the minor nobles of the Seven Kingdoms all agreed. They did not really think that Joffrey’s death should be important, but because if the trial of Tyrion was not completed, the poison would be If the crime of killing Joffrey I is completely nailed to Tyrion, then they and other minor nobles will still be unable to leave King’s Landing and return to their own territories because of suspicion of assassination.

Tywin could feel that things were getting more and more out of his control. He looked at the dignitaries of the Seven Kingdoms present, was silent for a moment, and said: “In this case, Tyrion will be put on trial in public in two days. The trial is over. Let’s discuss the inheritance of the Iron Throne later.”

After hearing Tywin’s decision, everyone agreed and then stood up and left.

“Duke Mace, please stay.” Tywin stopped Mace Tyrell. After everyone left, he said to Mace very seriously and directly: “I hope Ellie can marry Thor. Man, continue to marry the Iron Throne.”

After Mace Tyrell heard this proposal, he was completely stunned. It took him a long time to realize that Duke Tywin was not joking. He couldn’t help but said: “Duke Tywin, I remember Prince Tommen seems to be only eight or nine.” Years old?”

“Yes.” Tywin nodded.

The Duke of Metz was a little confused and said: “Ellie is so much older than him, and she just married his brother. This…”

“Although Ellie just married Joffrey, they did not live together and are not officially a couple yet,” Tywin said seriously: “And it is nothing for the elder brother’s wife to marry the younger brother after the elder brother died. What’s extraordinary is that Lord Eddard Stark married his brother’s fiancée, and the two of them lived well and had so many offspring.”

Looking at Duke Tywin, Duke Mace, who had always been a bit stupid, also understood the reason why the other party had lowered his face and made such a ridiculous proposal. I am afraid that he wanted to support Tommen on the throne.

He personally felt very good about this, at least the Tyrell family’s arrangements would not be wasted because of Joffrey’s death, but he knew very well that his abilities were limited, and he was not able to make decisions on such important matters.

So, he said with great sincerity: “Duke Tywin, I personally agree with your proposal, but this matter is too important for me to make an immediate decision. I need to go back and discuss it with my family before making any decision.” You reply.”

Duke Tywin was not angry, but nodded with a smile and said: “Of course, this matter is indeed important, of course you have to be cautious.”

When Duke Metz was about to leave, he stopped again, turned to look at Tywin, and said: “Duke Tywin, even if I agree to continue the marriage and let Ellie marry Prince Tommen, Prince Tommen wants to There is still a suspense about inheriting the Iron Throne. You should go see Prince Linde and ask him what he wants.”

Duke Tywin was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, “Thank you for the reminder. I will talk to Prince Lynd as soon as possible.”
