Eddard Stark stayed behind and did not personally capture Ser Amori Lodge because he had to deal with Queen Cersei. Maybe Robert will be back tomorrow, maybe a month later. But going to the Westside to capture Sir Amori Lodge is not a month's time to return.

King's Landing will go to the West, and it will take more than a month to come and go.

The Westside is powerful, and the crimes of the little devil are still pending a formal and legal trial, but Cersei's evil deeds against human ethics have been clarified, and the three children are the biggest evidence.

Ed can't leave King's Landing because of Cersei's affairs.

It's scary to think about, once no one debunks Cersei and Jaime's **, the kingdom's rule will rightfully fall into the hands of the Lannisters. This country was conquered by the four families of Baratheon, Stark, Arryn, and Tully, and it became the property of the Lannisters just after Robert I.

Of course, Eddard's kindness and chivalry led him to not order Cersei's immediate arrest, which was a huge mistake. Since the law requires him to exercise all the rights of the king, he should immediately arrest Cersei, throw Cersei into prison, and take the innocent three children hostage, so as to set the overall situation so that the West will not dare to raise troops easily.

But he gave Queen Cersei too much freedom and time, and also caused the Westside to raise an army without scruples, which was extremely fatal.

When Ed negotiated with Cersei, it was the best time to arrest her, Cersei was in hand, and no one around her dared to act rashly, so as to make a decision on the overall situation.

But he was so foolish that he waited for King Robert's return, and his supremacy and power in place of the king was vetoed by himself. At first, Cersei was still afraid, and she tried to seduce Ed with a woman's beauty, which showed that she still hoped that the scandal could be suppressed, and she showed her timidity.

Ed is destined to not be able to become a hero who turns his hands into clouds and rains, and the standard of Renjie is far from him.

Jaime of the West has raised troops in the Golden Tooth City, the Golden Tooth City is the only official road that cuts off the connection between the Riverlands and the West, and even a little demon in the West has to raise troops to regain face and the glory of the family, not to mention that Cersei is the queen of a country, and her status, honor and influence are far above the little devil. Whether it's Ed or Robert, as long as Cersei is moved, civil war is inevitable.

War is ruthless, only the victor is worthy of the word mercy, the loser disappears, the defeat is gone, the name is lost, how can it be merciful?

Both Varys and Littlefinger see through Ed's point: no decision, no scheming, no rigidity, and no ability to make timely adaptations based on specific changes in things!

After Eddard made a military campaign to send troops into the West to capture Amoraloch, the three royal ministers in the throne hall, the Great Master of Paisir, were resolutely opposed, while Littlefinger and Varys both despised Eddard's military action in their hearts, because both of them knew that such an action was just to send heads to the West.

It was only a team of 100 people who dared to go to the Westland to arrest the people of the West, what was it that made Ed so confident?

If the head was given to Loras Tyrell, then Eddard would have won, but he rejected Loras Tyrell's offer to fight, which was the second point that Littlefinger and Varys looked down on him. Varys deliberately stayed after the petition and did not leave, and said a few words to Eddard, that is, he reminded him to be careful of the Westside, and he told Ed that he had humiliated the royal magistrate Ilyin Pine, and Varys was hinting to Eddard that the Westside (Illin Pine) might kill him.

If Duke Tywin dared to send Sir Amori to attack the people of the Riverlands, and dared to drive them to King's Landing to report the crime, would Thaywin and Sir Amori be afraid that Ed would send troops to arrest them?

Of course there was no fear, and it was clear that the massacre and drive was a trap to lure Ed into his army.

Eddard willingly fell into the trap, and the only thing that made Tywin miscalculate was that Cersei** caused Eddard not to lead the army in person.

Eddard wants to go to the Westside to arrest the Amorites himself, and Tywin is afraid that you won't go Westside.

If Ed had fully estimated the danger of the matter, he might not have sent troops into the Westside to capture a small Ser Amoriloch, but should first have taken control of Cersei, who had already committed the ** scandal.

There are hundreds of knights like Amorites in the West, and one Amorita is insignificant to the West, but the weight of one Cersei plus three children is completely different.

What kind of wisdom made Eddard make such a childish move as letting Cersei go and sending more than a hundred people to arrest an Amorith?!And for what reason did Eddard have to wait until Robert came back to move Cersei? Since he had no intention of moving Cersei at all, why did he notify her to alarm her, just to remind Cersei to make all preparations first?!

Ed had a good hand, but he played it to a shredded end.

He is only suitable for being a good official in a clear political environment, and the complex politics of intrigue and intrigue are not what he is good at.

Eddkun sat in the study of the Prime Minister's Tower.

Captain Erin took twenty of his best northern guards, leaving the Prime Minister's Tower empty and Eddard feeling weak.

Cersei's seductive words rang in his head, and at the same time, her hand gently caressed his legs, with a woman's ambiguous hint: "Ned!" she called him by Robert's nickname, "Joffrey is still young, the kingdom needs a strong prime minister, my Jaime has returned to the West, and your wife Caitlin is thousands of miles away, I just want peace in the kingdom, as long as you don't tell Robert about me and Jaime, I bet you won't regret it, I'll satisfy you." Her hand caressed Ed's leg tenderly and skillfully.

Her eyes were sweet, and the expression on her face was like spring water.

This caused Eddard to vomit on the spot, even though Cersei was as beautiful as a sun.

Eddard shook his head, removing the hateful Cersei from his mind, who had asked Cersei why she had murdered Jon Arryn, to which Cersei flatly refused. But Eddard knew that Jon Arryn must have been murdered by Cersei, because Jon Arryn also knew Cersei's secret, which reminded him of Branstark, presumably because the child heard some secrets, he was pushed down from the tower by the Lannisters, and then sent a killer to assassinate him.

Paper can't wrap the flames, Cersei and Jaime can't hide it forever, more and more people know their secrets, and they kill more and more people, and finally, it's the king's turn.

"Thomad!" Ed shouted.

The study door was pushed open, and a chubby guard entered, his face uneasy.

Ed sighed inwardly, and suddenly regretted that he had sent twenty of his guards to the West. The best Jory Keso was killed, the second captain Erin led the best twenty northern guards to leave, and the Thomas in front of him was too fat, his loyalty was undoubted, but his martial arts were average and his courage was lacking.

"Go and call Viyanpur in. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Viyanpur soon came in, he was Ed's butler and was in charge of all the affairs of the Prime Minister's Tower.

"Go to Blackwater Bay and hire a big ship, a sturdy ship with sailors, not a ship with sails, I'm going to send the two young ladies back to Winterfell, keep everything secret, and negotiate with the captain as soon as possible, King's Landing is no longer safe. ”

"Yes, Prime Minister. ”

"Don't be afraid to spend money. Ed said after the departing Viyan.

"Yes, sir. ”

"By the way, help me call both young ladies in. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Sansa soon enters, but Arya is delayed.

"Father, Arya walks with her hands on the railing of the stable, where she has been for the last few days, I'll go call her. ”

"No, I'll tell Tomad to go. ”

Ed tells Thomas to go to the stables to find Arya.

"Father, why did Arya do that?" Sansa was puzzled.

A girl who either catches cats, walks upside down on the railing of the stables and walks with her hands every day, or learns to dance until her arms and calves are bruised, and she shows off to Sansa every night, as if every bruise is a medallion.

"She's not the same personality as you, Sansa, Arya is active and likes to learn martial arts. ”

"Oh, I know, her dance teacher was short and ugly, and the guards laughed at his swordsmanship for being a child's fight. I've never seen a dance teacher teach Arya how to chop. ”

"Swordsmen on the other side of the Narrow Sea usually prefer to use narrow swords, which are easy to break when slashed, so they are good at thrusting. Because Arya is a girl, her strength will be weaker than that of a man, so I found a swordsman with a narrow sword to teach her, the narrow sword is lightweight, and it is suitable for girls with poor arm strength to practice. ”

But Arya always talked about dancing. ”

"Sword master like that, Sansa, and I'm telling you that I have to send you and Arya back to Winterfell. ”

"What?" said Sansa, "Father, Robert has ordered us to leave King's Landing again?"

"No, child, King's Landing is no longer safe. We've lost twenty fewer men, and the remaining guards are no longer able to keep you safe. ”

"But I can't leave, Father, I am Prince Joffrey's fiancée, I love him with all my heart, I will bear him children, and be a virtuous and perfect queen like Queen Cersei. I will not leave King's Landing, Father. ”

"Listen to me, Prince Joffrey is not your true prince, and I assure you, son, that I will find you a noble, handsome, and strong knight worthy of your status to be your husband. ”

"No, Father, I love only one Joffrey, really, please fulfill our love. ”

"No, son, go back to Winterfell first, and I'll explain everything to you later. ”

"I don't need to explain, I love Joffrey, I'm going to marry her, I'm going to be Her Majesty, Father, please, don't break us up. Sansa pleaded.

There were footsteps outside the door, and Tomad, with a sweaty Arya, knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in. "Ed was already distraught.

Fortunately, the next process of convincing Arya was very simple, she was happy to return to Winterfell, but there was only one request, she wanted to bring her dance teacher Celeorfrill back with her.

Ed agrees to Arya's request, but he doesn't agree to Sansa's request, and Sansa leaves her father's study crying.

The next day, Prince Joffrey returned from the King's Forest with a large number of attendants, and a large number of Bronze Jon's men could not stand the continuous rain in the King's Forest, and Sir Baron Swain, who had made a big show at the tournament, returned one after another, but King Robert was still not satisfied and continued to hunt in the King's Forest.

On the third day, Edmi met with Robert, whom he had sent out to report to King Robert about the raid on the villages and towns of the Riverlands in the west, and received only a message from the king: Got it!

This filled Ed's heart with frustration! King Robert has changed so much in the past ten years since he sat on the Iron Throne!

Ed noticed that the Hound had also returned, the one he feared most after Erin left with the guards. Among the northern guards, no one could stop the hounds after Joricetho's death. He had to be wary of this man, the hounds were loyal to the Lannisters, the ordinary guards couldn't get close to him, and there were so many red robes.

Ed decided to take action in advance, the recent continuous rain has disrupted the hunting activities in the royal forest, and it is believed that the king will not be able to take it long before he returns, and the fun of hunting will eventually be taken away by the torrential rain.

Eddid had to prepare for the king's actions in advance, and he had to have allies.

After the hound returned with a large number of red robes, Ed's uneasiness grew stronger day by day.

"My lord, are you looking for me?" a narrow smile hung on the corner of his lips.

Ed hated Littlefinger's smile the most.

But he had no choice.

Compared to Varys's involatile, his position is unpredictable, at least Littlefinger was once the adopted son of Duke Horst, and he loved Catelyn deeply, and he was the one who allowed Ed and Catelyn to meet in secret.

Ed ignored Littlefinger's smile.

"It has been raining heavily lately, and King Robert will be returning soon, and if there is any change in the court, I would like to ascertain the loyalty of the commander of the garrison. ”

"Commander Genos Slint?" Littlefinger's narrow smile became even more obvious, "Give him the money and he'll listen to you." ”

Ed frowned.

Littlefinger looked at Ed with contempt, "Prime Minister, Jon Arryn had thought about bringing Genos Slynt to justice, but in just one night, the throats of the two officers who were willing to accuse him were cut. Despite his greed, he controlled King's Landing, and many officers supported him, especially those who paid for him. ”

Ed endured his nausea, he needed allies now, and he couldn't offend anyone.

The Hound came back with a lot of pressure on him.

"The loyalty you keep with money can deteriorate at any time. Ed said.

"Yes, but if you add royal power, it will basically not change. Littlefinger assured, "My lord, if you send an army to the west to arrest people, you should think that the situation will affect the imperial court. And, you should have sent Loras Tyrell, but you used Berry Dondelien. ”

"I just want to catch the culprit, not to go to war with the West. ”

"Hey, hey!" Littlefinger smiled, "Your Excellency, Fellow Scholar Paisher has received a reply from Duke Tywin, and the Duke is very unhappy with your efforts to send troops to the West to arrest people, and I bet Earl Berry will not be able to complete the mission." ”

"He flew the flag of King Robert and the Prime Minister. ”

"I see, my lord, the Crown Stag Banner and the Icewolf Banner, and his Lightning Banner. But the banner could not catch the Amorites, it was still the people. ”

Ed was impatient: "Lord Petyr, I would like you to give a banquet to Commander Genos Slint, to test his tone first, to get close to him, and let him know that both the king and the prime minister expect him to be loyal." ”

"Well, Prime Minister, if you insist on doing so. ”

Ed almost wanted to tell Littlefinger Cersei's secret, but he forcibly held back the words.

Littlefinger left without salutation, Ed felt a sense of emptiness, he could trust Littlefinger, he couldn't be sure. He could trust Genos a little, and he could only hope that Genos would remember his oath: allegiance to the king!

As Ed expected, the heavy rain drenched King Ed's hunting interest, and on the fourth day after Prince Joffrey's return, the king and a large number of other people also returned to King's Landing, and the king's first summoning order was to ask the court chief to invite Prime Minister Ed to his Maigar Tower, and he had something to do with the Prime Minister.

Eddard was overjoyed, thinking that Robert had finally figured out the gravity of the West's attack on the Riverlands, and summoned him to discuss how to punish the West. If Duke Tywin resists the capture of Amoraloch, Eddard wants the king to order an army to quell the rebellion, and Eddard will lead the army himself.

Of course, Ed had more important things to tell the king: Cersei**, Joffrey and the other three children were not his heirs.
