Chapter 130 Potential Enemies
Varys clasped his hands together and hung them in front of his belly. He turned to Green with a smile on his chubby face.

"Earl Green, Duke Stark has become the Prime Minister. As the General Manager of Intelligence, I should keep the Prime Minister's whereabouts secret."

Petyr glanced at Varys lightly, his gray-green eyes quivered, the corners of his lips curled up, and he looked at Green.

"Too."

Green nodded in agreement and said, "Lord Varys, please forgive me for being reckless."

Earl Green apologized sincerely, and Varys's smile froze for a moment unnoticeably.

Petyr seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "Earl Green, do you want to greet Duke Stark?"

"Lord Petyr, your wisdom has to be admired!"

Green praised first, and then explained: "After the great battle more than ten years ago, His Majesty Robert agreed to pardon my pregnant mother because of Duke Ed's honest words. Leib will never forget."

After hearing Green's words, Petyr's pupils shrank, and the smile on his face dimmed unconsciously.

The current ministers of the Red Castle all know that the young earl in front of him can influence Queen Cersei's decision, and he is a veritable queen's favorite.

Therefore, when Green offered to help convince Queen Cersei just now, Petyr did not doubt whether he could do such a thing.

Petyr secretly wondered whether Green would ease the relationship between Queen Cersei and Lord Eddard.

Precipitating the fight between the running wolf and the golden lion, this is Petyr's carefully planned upward ladder, and he will never tolerate accidents.

Petyr suddenly felt a chill in his chest, and he recalled that night in King's Landing.

Petyr laughed secretly again. When a real conflict of interest occurs, a favorite can't change the outcome of the fight.

However, this savage count is usually harmless to humans and animals, but sometimes he is very reckless and cannot be ignored.

…………

Petyr suddenly smiled: "Earl Green, this is not just a favor, congratulations!"

Varys also echoed: "Duke Stark's noble character is known to all seven countries, and our Prime Minister will also be very happy to see you."

Green said humbly: "The Duke of Winterfell's reputation is far-reaching, and I can't wait to meet Prime Minister Eddard."

Varys shook his head with a smile: "It seems that I have to betray our Prime Minister once, oops, it really makes me flustered."

Petyr said with a smile: "A golden dragon has two sides, so things cannot be generalized."

Green looked at Petyr and blinked: "Lord Petyr, you seem to be interested too?"

Petyr's eyes showed some confusion.

Green smiled and said: "I accidentally learned about your heroic deeds in Riverrun when you were young."

"How long has it been..."

Petyr continued with a somewhat self-deprecating tone: "Looking back now, it is still a very regrettable thing."

Sighing, he looked into the distance and murmured: "Kate..."

Petyr had already started to set up his infatuation profile. Green nodded understandingly, I know this job well!
According to Duke Ed's character, the more honest you are, the easier it is to gain his trust.

After Lord Eddard was appointed Hand, Petyr would boldly admit his love for Catelyn, both in front of and behind everyone.

Petyr the Schemer is also a master of details.

…………

Varys said in surprise: "Lord Petyr, are you and Mrs. Stark?"

Petyr shook his head slightly with a bitter look on his face, but did not respond.

Varys turned his head and looked at Green.

Green spread his hands, shrugged, and said, "Lord Petyr is an infatuated person, and his character is trustworthy."

Whether it is support or opposition in the future, Petyr already has sufficient reasons, and he can justifiably choose the camp that is most beneficial to him.

Flexible contingency strategies are in line with his shrewd personality.

Littlefinger's upward ladder is about to begin. He will first obtain the identity of Duke of Harrenhal, then marry Lysa Tully with the matching identity, and start plotting in the valley.Green mentioned Caitlin on purpose. He just felt that the affectionate Petyr was too low-key, so he added fuel to the fire a little.

…………

Varys agreed: "That is natural. Lord Petyr's ability is the most worthy of our trust."

The corners of Petyr's eyes twitched, and he didn't want to pay attention to this rootless man whose words contained sarcasm.

Green nodded secretly, in this game of thrones we fall in love and kill each other together.

It was almost time to break up the meeting, and Green, who was sunny at heart, felt uncomfortable staying with the two people with dark minds for so long.

Just leave... Green stroked his chest: "Lord Petyr, Lord Varys, please excuse me and leave first."

Varys came closer with light steps, and Green smelled the scent of lilacs.

"Lord Green, when the sun rose today, my little bird told me that Lord Stark and his party were on the King's Road two or three days away from King's Landing."

Green was about to say thanks when he spotted a tall figure walking out of the door of the Government Affairs Hall.

It was Lord Stannis!

Although the distance was not close, Green could still feel the anger emanating from Stannis, and he thought of the king's decree appointing Lord Eddard as Lord Chancellor.

Petyr looked at Stannis's leaving figure and said with a mocking tone: "Not long after seeing the king's decree appointing the new prime minister, Lord Stannis will be returning to Dragonstone."

The smile on Wallis's face was very shallow: "It's really a pity that I won't be able to see this gentleman for a while again."

Green's eyes swept across the two of them and said, "I feel like Lord Stannis is quite angry?"

Wallis nodded first, then shook his head, and moved his lips, but failed to say anything. In the end, it turned into a sigh.

It doesn't surprise him that Wallis has recently begun playing a concerned minister in front of Green.

Petyr noticed something strange, and glanced at it from the corner of his eye, but didn't think much about it.

Varys had been acting up in front of him for some time, and even the shrewd Petyr thought it was normal.

Petyr raised the corners of his lips: "His Majesty Robert is busy with his affairs, and it is easy to neglect his brother. This is inevitable."

Varys sighed again and said, "Perhaps our new Prime Minister can persuade Lord Stannis to return."

Petyr mocked: "Maybe the Duke of Highgarden should be thankful that Stannis did not become the Prime Minister. If it were Stannis, he would definitely uncover the crimes of the Siege of Storm's End."

Varys looked surprised: "How many years has it been since the Seven Kingdoms praised Lord Stannis for his justice? And haven't they been pardoned by King Robert?"

Petyr said coldly: "The guilty will be punished without mercy. This is the justice of that gentleman."

Seeing Green staring at him with some confusion, Petyr shrugged: "Some things happened before. If it weren't for the old Duke, I might have been expelled from Westeros."

Green did not ask further questions. He roughly guessed that it was probably related to the women's branch.

Green thought of Daenerys. He thought that if Petyr was really deported to Essos, he would definitely defect to Targaryen and become an effective pioneer in regaining the Iron Throne.

Petyr is a vassal of the valley, but not a direct vassal of Stannis. Stannis cannot directly deal with Petyr, but can only punish him through the royal council or King Robert.

Although it ended in vain, this incident was a great humiliation for Petyr.

Green secretly lamented that Duke Stannis had potential enemies everywhere because of his iron-like character. At the moment, it seemed that he only had the Crab Claw Peninsula as a potential ally.

Wallis held his hands together: "I remember that you were still the political officer of the Prime Minister's Tower at the time, and you were also trying to raise funds... Time flies so fast."

Green smiled and said: "Lord Petyr, time has proven your innocence. You are now an important minister of His Majesty Robert."

Varys glanced at Green. Earl Green's tongue was so sweet, and he felt a little pressure.

Petyr reached out and patted Green, saying: "It makes sense, time will prove everything."

…………

After parting ways with Varys and Petyr, Lord Grimm went directly to Magor Tower to meet Queen Cersei.

There is not much time left. Just in case, it is best for Duke Ed to get the 4 gold dragons before arriving at the Red Keep to make people feel at ease.
