iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 95 Loyalty Without Fear
Three days later, Crab Claw Peninsula.

The first to receive the news was Maester Al, who was in charge of Ravens in Kreber's territory.

Earl of Whispering Castle... Maester Al grinned, showing his sparse teeth, and handed the letter to the excited Kalea with trembling hands.

"Son, immediately hand it over to Butler Herschel."

"Scholar Al, I'll go right away."

After explaining, Al-Scholar tremblingly moved to the table and sat down.

The conscientious Bachelor Al needed to record it, so he opened the book recording the history of the Kleiber family, and solemnly picked up the quill.

Maester Al, who seemed to be several years younger, thought for a while, then revealed a smile, brushed... and waved the quill.

In the 297th year of the Westeros calendar, the young lord opened a new chapter for the Kreber family.

…………

Mason Baker and Per Pilly, who were discussing things together, received a message from Butler Herschel at the same time.

The eyes of Mason and Pell, who are both retainer knights, collided, and the flames crackled.

After tidying up their excitement, the two of them stared at the map placed on the long table at the same time.

Mason and Pell thought of it together, I need more military exploits!

…………

In the tent of the commander of the Thorn Corps, Emparo pushed away Lena who was almost hanging on his body with a look of disgust.

In the camp of the Thorn Corps, the cheers of the Thorn Soldiers rose one after another, as if they were about to resound through the sky.

…………

Herschel, who was automatically promoted to be the earl's butler, put his belly down and puffed out his chest.

Enduring heartache, Herschel faithfully carried out Green's order, waved his fat hand, and opened the vault door wide.

Kleber's territory temporarily put away its swords and held large-scale celebrations.

Outside the city of King's Landing, Kleber Manor.

In the past few days, the clever Dick had never suffered such intensive punches.

When he was first captured by the survey corps, Dick was still brave enough to yell a few times, but now he was tortured by them only fear.

After Green arrived, Dick, who had been locked up in the basement, was carried over by soldiers of the Survey Corps, and threw him on the cold stone slab with a bang.

Dick couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Dick Kleber?"

Hearing this, Dick suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice. The first thing he saw was Green sitting upright, followed by the swamp marigold emblem on Green's clothes.

Dick's pupils constricted, and his body trembled.

Green smiled lowly and said, "It seems that you understand the laws of the kingdom."

Dick looked at Green in horror, opened his mouth, and said, "I... I am your clansman."

Although Dick looked terrified, his eyes kept rolling.

Although this kind of detail should not be noticed, it cannot escape Green's eyes.

Green frowned slightly, moved his eyes, and said to Jeffrey who was standing aside: "Why can I still see deception from him, is it because he didn't take care of it?"

【Jeffrey, the leader of the Investigation Corps in King's Landing】

Jeffrey first apologized by patting his chest, and then said: "My lord, please allow me to bleed him."

Green nodded his jaw slightly, and with a bang, Jeffrey drew out his sword and strode towards Dick.

Jeffrey grabbed Dick's hair with one hand and pulled it up, and the long sword with a cold light came to his neck.

The icy iron sword completely shattered the luck in Dick's heart, and he was scared to pee.

Jeffrey, who smelled the smell, frowned and looked up at Green.

Green waved Jeffrey back and said, "Dick, your biological father is the second son of an offshoot of the Kleiber family, am I right? Dick Weishui?"

Dick nodded blankly, and begged, "I beg you to forgive my offense, I did it for..."

Green interjected directly: "Shanny? Or Yulia Weishui?"

"My sister...she...she..."

"She's fine for the time being. Whether she can save her life is up to you."

In danger, Dick lowered his face and rolled his eyes again.

At this time, Dick was in endless remorse, and he still hurt his poor sister after all.

Dick's hair was drenched with cold sweat, but he didn't give up, and he didn't dare to give up.

"My lord, it seems... please give us a chance."

Green sneered and said, "Of course I will give you a chance."

Just as the clever Dick wanted to thank you, Green continued, "I don't want your blood on my hands. Come here yourself, and exchange your life for your sister's safety."

After speaking, Green glanced at Jeffrey.

Jeffrey nodded, took out the dagger from his waist, and threw it in front of Dick with a clang.

Dick looked at the dagger in front of him in horror, and couldn't help wiping the sweat all over his face.

Seeing that Dick was still afraid to pick up the dagger, Green persuaded him patiently: "Alas, the seven hells, but the law is the law. Dick, you brothers and sisters, I will only take one."

Dick murmured with a pale face, "I'm sorry, brother, I'm sorry."

Dick wept, tears and sweat mingling, blurring his vision.

Dick raised his hand tremblingly, and grabbed the dagger suddenly.

"I hope you……"

Green's cold snort interrupted Dick's speech.

The last ray of courage before dying, the words of warning that Dick had finally concocted, was so frightened that he swallowed it into his stomach.

"Don't try to challenge my patience, Dick Weaver."

Dick shouted in his heart: If you don't keep your word, I will not let you off as a White Walker!
Dick straightened his upper body tremblingly, tightly gripping the handle of the dagger with both hands, and pointing the pointed end towards himself.

"Mom!" Dick cried out, closed his eyes tightly, and stabbed the dagger heavily into his chest.

Dang!

Geoffrey's longsword knocked out Dick's dagger accurately.

Jeffrey put away the long sword, paused, and said to Green: "My lord, you have enough strength. If I don't block it, the dagger will definitely kill him. He counts..."

Dick, with empty eyes, first glanced at his own hand, then at Jeffrey who was talking, closed his eyes and passed out.

Jeffrey glanced at Dick, who was limp on the ground, and continued: "At most half of the courage."

Green raised his eyes and looked upstairs in the hall, where the soldiers of the Survey Corps had been "accompanying" Yulia and witnessed the whole process.

I don't know when it started, Yulia began to dislike Dick in her heart, and sometimes she even hated it.

Today, Yulia looked at Dick, who was usually timid and timid, but was willing to sacrifice her life for her, and Yulia had mixed feelings in her heart.

He repeatedly said that he would take her out of there, and that was not empty words.

The brother, who was full of nonsense and called Smart Dick, had always been honest only with her.

Yulia burst into tears suddenly.

Now, only that is left in her memory... Dick, her tall brother who has been dependent on each other since she was a child, and has always been relied on by her.

When Yulia was brought in front of Green, she had calmed down her ups and downs and could salute Green with a calm expression.

Green raised his eyebrows and said, "Yulia Weishui, I can give you a chance, or give your brother a chance."

Yulia nodded in gratitude: "My lord, we understand the seriousness of the sin. Thank you for your kindness. We will always remember your kindness."

"Dick needs to complete a mission. During the mission, I will take care of your life. After the mission is completed, I will give you a reward."

Yulia moved her lips, she wanted to ask what kind of mission the thin Dick would send, whether it was dangerous or not.

Yulia has realized that the lives of their siblings are already in the hands of the person in front of her, and she dare not overestimate Green's patience.

At least Dick's life is not in danger for the time being, and now Yulia can only pray to the gods in her heart.

Green said to Jeffrey, "Jeffrey, I'll leave it to you."

Starting tomorrow, Jeffrey will be responsible for teaching Dick various combat skills, including the dagger that Jeffrey is best at.

Everything else was arranged by Jeffrey according to the actual situation. Green only made one special request. The purpose of asking Dick to practice the dagger was... Jeffrey stopped thinking about it.

The Scout Corps has nothing to doubt, just to show...loyalty.

…………

…………

King Green returned to King's Landing near the evening, and finally waited for Queen Cersei to summon him.

Green glanced at the night sky, felt the armor that was closest to him, and rode his horse in the direction of the Red Castle with his guards.

Arriving at the gate of the Red Castle, Green left the guards nearby, and entered the Red Castle with only Monton Weishui and Martyr Baker.

Outside Maegor Tower, Green saw Jaime Lannister holding a long sword at his waist.

The snow-white cloak was blowing eastward with the wind, and James still had blond hair fluttering in high spirits.

Before Greene could see him, James joked, "Good night, Your Excellency the Earl."

Green spread his hands: "Good night, sir, because of this unexpected canonization, I have been having trouble sleeping and eating recently."

James smiled strangely: "Loyalty is not afraid of tests."

Green rolled his eyes, I'm not a Lannister, I don't have natural trust, let alone Boss Cersei.

Green reconfirmed that he and James were not compatible and that he paid the wrong amount.

In fact, because James later learned that Green taught Myrcella equestrianism, he couldn't help being angry and his tone was a little mocking.

Green and James can't avoid some misunderstandings. The two are always on their respective channels, and it's true that they don't match each other.

…………

No matter what was going on in his heart, Green approached James, glanced at Megata, and asked in a low voice, "Is she angry?"

James raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Who is she?"

Green rolled his eyes this time, and expressed his dissatisfaction with James in silence.

James smiled and said, "Count, are you also nervous?"

Green shrugged and said, "Sir James, aren't you afraid of Her Majesty the Queen?"

James doesn't like word games, because he is not good at it: "I tried my best, but the effect is not obvious, Earl Green, now you can only rely on yourself..."

After a pause, James seemed to organize his words: "Queen Cersei, you should also understand her character, she is loyal without fear of testing."

Through James' words, Green can already confirm that Queen Cersei's attitude has not deviated from what he expected.

Green sighed softly: "Sir James, it is precisely because I know Her Majesty the Queen that I can't do anything. That old... duke, this time's method is clever enough, and His Majesty Robert doesn't want Queen Cersei to It's hard to misunderstand."

James patted Green and comforted him, "I'm glad you think so. Let's go in together."

At this time, they heard more orderly footsteps.

More than a dozen Lannister red robes appeared in sight, and they were divided into three groups, facing Green's faint siege.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and Matil gripped the handle of the sword nervously.

Monton glanced at Martial innocently, and touched the warhammer on his waist calmly.

Martial glanced at the simple and honest Monton, and his nervousness gradually calmed down. Monton is a reliable fat man.

Matil's heart became excited again, and the credit was just around the corner.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and Matil has no doubts about their combat power. He and Monton are enough to protect the safety of the lord.

Martiel, the descendant of the retainer knight and the earl's retinue, raised his chin and looked at the red robes very contemptuously.

…………

Green looked around blankly, and it really was the style of Boss Cersei.

James frowned, staring at the leader's red robe: "Get off, who told you to come here?"

Besides him, who in the Red Keep could give orders directly to Lannister's red robe, the answer was obvious, James asked a nonsense that wasn't nonsense.

The red-robed leader replied: "Sir James, we have received an order from Her Royal Highness the Queen."

James said coldly, "What order does Her Royal Highness have?"

The red robe hesitated for a while and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Green.

Green shook his head slightly, and said, "Sir James, take me to see Queen Cersei."

Green had to interrupt.

The red robes are guards carefully cultivated by Lannister. It is no problem for you to let them dance swords, but it will be difficult for them to understand euphemistic expressions.

James is the true leader of Lannister's red robes in the Red Castle, and the red robes will only tell the truth under his pressure.

Looking at the current posture of the red robes, there is almost an answer. Green does not dare to expect any gentle orders from Boss Cersei.

Saying it and not saying it can be two different things.

Take control, at least don't let things get out of hand.

…………

Therefore, Green took the initiative to interrupt their next words.

James was also temporarily confused by Cersei's "surprise". Looking at Green's calm expression, he quickly regained his composure.

Green said again: "Sir, loyalty is not afraid of trials."

James nodded slightly, and took the lead.

Dada Tower... In the empty Maegor Tower, there are only the footsteps of Green and James.

At this time, James had already made a decision in his heart, and James glanced at Green calmly, and gradually clenched his hand holding the sword handle.

For the sake of his true love, he has secretly raised his vigilance towards Green.

…………

The third floor of Maegor Tower.

Green and James stopped almost at the same time and looked towards a room door.

This room is where Green was summoned alone by Queen Cersei when he first attended the stewards' meeting.

Green's biggest impression of this room is that the sound insulation is particularly good, keeping secrets about how he will clean up Queens.

The door was opened, and Grimm found Cersei standing in front of the window, her back turned to them.

James stepped forward and stood beside Cersei with his sword as usual.

Green stroked his chest and nodded: "Good night, Your Majesty the Queen."

Cersei turned her face slightly, and said coldly: "Why didn't you refuse the canonization of that drunk?"

James glanced at Green, who was speechless for a while, and persuaded: "Queen Cersei, he is a vassal of His Majesty Robert, if you refuse..."

Cersei raised her voice and interrupted: "Jaime, be loyal and fearless!"

"Cersei..."

"James, I don't want to hear any more weak excuses, get out!"
