iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 43 Prime Minister's Tower (End)
A pie maker doesn't like another pie maker.

Green didn't want to take the call.

Duke Jon is determined to let Green leave King's Landing.

It is now mid-September 297 in the Westeros calendar. According to the plot, there is still about half a year before Duke Jon's exit.

If there is a reasonable delay, can Green delay until that time?
It can be said that Green's good plan was destroyed by Littlefinger Petyr.

Green kept Petyr for two important reasons.

The first reason is that Green wants to keep Petyr and join forces with Lady Lysa Arryn to end up with Duke Jon.

The second reason is that Petyr's little action forced Green to face Duke Jon in advance. Green's intention to stop Killing Heart was to allow Petyr to solve the trouble he caused. This was the least expensive way. This was exactly the motivation for Green to "visit" Petyr that night.

With Petyr's shrewdness, he knew what to do next was in his best interest.

Will Petyr secretly plan revenge on Green afterwards?Green will not be a passive person, passively waiting for you to touch me, I see the trick and then fight back, back and forth like this and that.

This is not Green's personality. Regardless of whether Petyr was unintentional or intentional, when he kicked Green's "iron board", he was already on the list of Green's must-haves.

After Duke Jon left the stage, if there were no major changes, Green would not foolishly keep Petyr for the New Year.

The reason why there are preconditions is because Green has already entered the game of power with one foot. In the game of power, there is no permanent enemy, and players of power must always be flexible.

........................

It is very good to be canonized as the guardian of the peninsula, but the status of Green and Duke Jon is not equal, and the transaction of unequal status will not be fair.

Green didn't even want to hear about Duke Jon's deal.

Green shook his head and said sincerely: "I am very grateful to the Duke for his attention, but if you want to win the position, you must first bear the weight. My ability is not worthy of the title of guardian."

Duke Jon suddenly remembered the name of a very slippery fish in the Stormlands that Robert Baratheon told himself when he was a boy...

Duke Jon regained his thoughts from the memory, and said, "Maybe you have completed my task, and you will be worthy of the title of Guardian."

The powerlessness produced by Duke Jon's persecution made Green uncomfortable.

Green suppressed the sudden murderous desire in his heart.

Green felt that compared to the kind-hearted Duke Jon on the surface, Queen Cersei, who was strong on the surface, was actually quite cute.

At this time, Green missed Boss Cersei very much.

........................

Green deliberately showed a tangled expression, and said weakly: "My lord, if you don't violate Kleiber's honor, I will listen first."

Duke Jon doesn't like Green, and the task he wants to arrange for Green is definitely not something everyone enjoys together. Green left room for himself when he replied.

Do you still have the nerve to talk to me about the glory of nobility?In Duke Jon's view, Green, who does not admit to crimes, is not honorable.

After a pause, Duke Jon said, "You know that Targaryen survived two young dragons, right?"

After finishing speaking, Duke Jon stared at Green for a moment.

Green shook his head subconsciously, and then his pupils dilated and contracted.

After a moment of silence, Greene sighed: "Duke Jon, the war is already over, and the winner has already been decided."

Duke Jon with the old man's stubbornness: "As long as the blood of the Dragon family..."

Keen Green suddenly noticed the peeping of a third party.

Green suddenly got up from his chair: "Excuse me, Your Excellency, is there a third person in the study?"

Duke Jon, who couldn't help scolding because of Green's interruption, also reacted to Green's change, narrowed his eyes slightly, and shook his head.

Green nodded, moved a few steps to the corner of the back wall of the study, raised his hand and tapped it a few times with the back of his hand.

Although no abnormal sound could be heard, Green affirmed: "Probably in this position, I suddenly felt the existence of a third party."

There was no need for Green to make such a joke with him, Duke Jon stood up tremblingly, and raised his voice: "Guard!"

As soon as Duke Jon finished speaking, the door of the study was opened with a slam, and four golden robes rushed in one by one.

After the golden robe entered, he drew out his sword one after another, preparing to approach Green.

Duke Jon waved his hand: "Go and check the wall on the little baron's side, check it carefully."

Green stepped aside and tapped against the wall with the four golden robes.

After checking for a while, when Duke Jon was about to lose his patience, a clever golden robe pointed to a very inconspicuous place and said: "My lord, there is something wrong with the gap here."

Duke Jon glanced at Green, who had a calm face, and ordered decisively: "Go get the hammer, and knock it open for me."

A golden robe came out of the study and brought two sledgehammers.

After getting the hammer, the gold robes swung the hammer and smashed it against the wall.

Bang bang bang, the swung hammer stirred up a large area of ​​dust.

With a bang, a large wall collapsed facing the other side.

The dust spread out, revealing a cramped space.

After coughing for a while, Duke Jon's expression was very cold: "No wonder the Red Castle has no secrets."

Green felt that he should leave, and said to Duke Jon: "Your Excellency, I will take my leave first."

Duke Jon didn't look away from the smashed mezzanine, but just nodded.

When Green was about to walk to the door of the study, Duke Jon's voice came over: "Little Baron, I will give you the reward you deserve for what happened today."

Green had to stop and turn around to salute.

"Also, with your intelligence, you should understand what I mean. I will give you a month, and I will ask you to give an accurate answer when the time comes."

........................

Outside the gate of the Prime Minister's Tower.

Green had just stepped out of the Prime Minister's Tower when he first saw Tyrion with a troubled face.

Behind Tyrion was a group of armed Lannister red robes, about 20 of them.

Monton and Angai approached Green immediately.

An Gai whispered: "My lord, they came right after you entered."

Hearing this, Green nodded slightly, and walked closer to Tyrion: "Good day, Lord Tyrion."

Tyrion stared in confusion, first gestured to Lannister's red robe to leave, and said: "You came out too early, it's a pity, a little later, you can enjoy the ferocity of Tyrion's knight and the lion's roar."

Green smiled, and patted Tyrion on the arm lightly in thanks.

Tyrion smiled and said, "You should thank James even more. I can't command the red robe. This is James' arrangement."

Green smiled and said, "I should be grateful. If I knew the lion was outside, I should have given the old Duke two punches."

Tyrion laughed and said, "I like your metaphor. It seems that today's meeting went well?"

Green spread his hands: "There is still some time."

Tyrion reached out and patted Green's thigh: "It's good news. Let's think about it slowly. The two smartest minds in King's Landing are here. Take it easy."

Tyrion grinned again and said, "I'm flattered that my dear sister invited us to have lunch together. It's all thanks to you. Your craftsmanship is very good, and you serve her very comfortably, hehe."

Green, who didn't know how to answer the conversation: "..."
