Chapter 131 The King’s Plot

Another king's order was issued to the Red Keep, causing everyone to exclaim. Jaime Lannister was actually appointed as the Warden of the East.

In theory, the Warden of the East is the highest military commander responsible for the defense of the eastern coast of the Vale, the Crownland, and the Stormlands (lower than the Warden of the Land).

According to tradition, the title of Warden of the East belongs to the hereditary title of the Arryn family in the Vale, but after the death of Jon Arryn, King Robert appointed Jaime to take over as the Warden of the East.

First there was a new prime minister and a tournament, and then there was a new Warden of the East. Today is destined to be a day of constant surprises.

King Robert's appointment seems quite ruthless and unexpected.

Is this really a Westeros-style tea-cold after people leave?

…………

Green denied this possibility. Although Robert did not like to govern the country, he knew how to balance the forces of all parties to consolidate the rule of the Iron Throne.

At the same time, Robert's political methods have always been rough, and he completely ignored comforting the injured.

To give a typical example, Duke Stannis, who has regarded his brothers as enemies.

King Robert knows how to strike a balance, but lacks political foresight. The Arryn Vale is a staunch supporter of the Baratheon dynasty, but now it has been slapped in the face.

The time traveler Green remembers that in the original plot, King Robert's move angered the nobles of the Vale. The angry Lysa Tully asked the nobles of the Vale to call her son the true Warden of the East.

In Maegor Tower, Green, who was walking down the stairs, suddenly paused for a moment, and Princess Myrcella appeared in his mind.

Although Jaime is a member of the Kingsguard, most people think that the Kingslayer Jaime will return to the West to inherit Casterly Rock sooner or later.

At that time, will Jaime be asked to serve as both the Warden of the West and the Warden of the East?

Robert Arryn and Myrcella Baratheon are of similar age... So, the title of Warden of the East, which has been inherited by the Arryn family for generations, has become a princess' dowry temporarily placed in the hands of the "uncle"? !

Well... the fat king still has some foresight.

This operation made Green feel very familiar. He immediately thought of the debt that the Crabbe family took on in the name of aid after the usurpation. It seemed to be a similar process.

…………

When Green met Queen Cersei, she already knew that Jaime had been appointed as the Warden of the East. For Queen Cersei, if Jaime was the Warden of the East, it meant that she was the Warden of the East.

Boss Cersei's happiness is so simple!

The matter entrusted by Petyr went very smoothly. Green did not spend much time talking. Cersei just glanced at him sideways and agreed to the loan for the tournament.

Through Queen Cersei's eyes, Green seemed to hear her say lovingly... I really can't do anything about you.

This... If he hadn't known Cersei's secret arrangement for the group melee competition in the tournament, the innocent Lord Green would have been moved to death.

It should be said that Green came at the right time. Queen Cersei can now intervene in the tournament more legitimately. Her patience with King Robert is running out.

…………

Green stood at the door of Maegor's Tower, pinching his chin. He was considering whether to give Jaime a cloak embroidered with the words "Guardian of the East" as a gift.

Green's ears moved, and he heard a giggle coming from afar.

This was Prince Joffrey's voice, and Green looked in the direction of the sound.

Joffrey and Sandor Clegane were walking towards Maegor's Tower, talking and laughing.

It was rumored that Sandor's dry humor always made His Royal Highness laugh.

Green's heart moved, and he took the initiative to greet him.

"Good day, Your Highness."

Joffrey looked at Green who was saluting and raised his chin: "Good day."

He looked at Green and said: "I heard that you knocked out the Knight of Flowers of the Golden Rose in one go?"

Green shrugged: "Yes, Your Highness, the rumor is very reliable."

Joffrey showed a skeptical look: "Earl Green, why are there still rumors that the Knight of Flowers slipped accidentally?"

Green: "Maybe he didn't have enough food?"

Sandor: "Delicate flowers are easily shy."

Joffrey was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Green looked up at Sandor with a burn on his face and said: "Hound?"

Most people call Sandor the Hound. One of the sources of this nickname is the three-dog family emblem of the Clegane family.

Sandor's ear was completely burned away, leaving only a hole, and there were large twisted scars around his eyes. His gray eyes looked at Green and said, "My Lord, you are not a delicate flower."

Green raised his eyebrows and said, "Sandor, your description is actually very appropriate for the Knight of Flowers."

Sandor deliberately looked around and said, "I heard that their family is very rich. I hope no one else heard it."

Joffrey, who had just stopped laughing, was amused and laughed again.

Sandor glanced at Green, who was smiling gently, and stopped talking. He might also be worried that he would cause problems for the noble prince.

After laughing, Joffrey regained his contemptuous expression and said, "Lord Green, do you know where Jaime is?"

Green spread his hands and said, "It seems that you have also heard the news that Ser Jaime was appointed as the Warden of the East. The appointment came too suddenly. I guess he is in the White Sword Tower, worrying about the future arrangements."

Joffrey asked in confusion, "What are you worried about?"

Green patiently explained, "The Warden of the East has always been the hereditary title of Arryn in the Vale. Perhaps the Vale will feel that Ser Jaime has taken away something that belongs to them. Ser Jaime will be responsible for the defense of the eastern coast in the future, and he cannot do without the support of the nobles in the Vale, so we have to find a way to appease him."

Joffrey said angrily: "Do the Vale dare to disobey my father's orders? I will chop off their heads!"

Green comforted: "Your Highness, Prime Minister Jon passed away not long ago, and the valley has not gotten used to it. After some time, they will realize that Little Duke Robert is not Duke Jon, and then they will have to obey orders obediently."

Joffrey said in a contemptuous tone: "If the Vale dares to disobey, I will have Little Robert captured here..."

He put his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and continued: "If he can sincerely repent, I will give him a sword and give him a fair chance to compete with me."

Green blinked, digesting Joffrey's contradictory words.

Oh...I mean I'll give you a beating even if you regret it.

It was indeed fair. The 12-year-old Joffrey faced off against the sickly 6-year-old Robert. He knew how to choose his opponent.

Green said respectfully: "Your Highness, your sword skills are outstanding. I don't think the Duke of the Eagle's Nest can even withstand your blow! The frightened nobles of the valley will kneel at your feet and humbly beg for your forgiveness. , your reputation will be spread throughout the seven kingdoms, and your heroic deeds will be passed down from generation to generation."

After listening to Green's words, Joffrey's breathing became obviously heavy and his face flushed.

He couldn't wait to shout to Sandor: "My dog, I order you to go and capture the Duke of the Eyrie immediately! Immediately!"

Oops! Did I push a little too hard?

Kleb and Vale are obviously at odds with each other, and it is impossible to say good things to Vale against his will. That would be too hypocritical... Lord Green is an upright knight, he can't do that~!

Sandor glanced at Green and said calmly: "Prince, my waist has been weak recently and I can't travel far."

Joffrey kicked and cursed angrily: "Dog, how dare you disobey my orders!"

Green was actually very moved and even wanted to take the initiative to ask for orders, but he knew it was too childish now.

He advised: "Your Highness, I have to remind you that there are many vassals of the Yuzhong and Irene families in the valley. If there are not enough manpower, Sandor is likely to return empty-handed."

The Green Lord at this stage intends to plant nails in advance. This is only a small part of the foreplay of the power game.
