Chapter 16, Bastard
In a panic, Arthur waved his knife to drive away the crowd of onlookers, and Arthur, who was afraid of being caught, had a mess in his head, and only the thought of fleeing to the Red Fort to avoid danger was left.
The body that exercised every day gave him extraordinary physical strength, and he was able to run all the way back to the Red Fort.
It wasn't until he was stopped by the golden robe and sent to the Prime Minister Tower to see Eddard Stark, that he came back to his senses in the midst of his repeated inquiries and was shaken by Jory rudely.
"Arthur, tell me what's going on!"
The first time he killed someone with his own hands, Arthur's mind was still blank for fear of being captured by the gangsters, and he couldn't even remember how he returned to the Red Fort.
The commander of the Golden Guard, Genos Slint, came up at this time and said to Prime Minister Eddard Stark: "My lord, there has been an attack on this kid in the city, and five people have died. β
Hearing this, Ed immediately frowned: "Our people?"
"It's not. Genos shook his head and looked at Arthur, who was still stunned, frightened and frightened: "It's the one who wants to capture him." β
"Arthur killed them?" Ed asked.
Genos nodded, "According to eyewitnesses, it was a teenager armed with two short knives who killed five gangsters. Obviously, this young man is Arthur, who is still holding eight slashers in his hand and is dressed in blood.
Jory immediately patted Arthur on the shoulder and asked the guard to hand him a wine bag: "Not bad, boy, I actually killed five people, come and drink some wine, you will feel much more comfortable after drinking, and then go back to sleep well." β
Arthur was in a trance, the whole person was confused, he didn't know how to take the wine bag, he didn't know how much he drank, and he didn't know what happened later, so he was sent back to the room by Jory and them in a daze.
......
Pitch black, quiet room.
Arthur, who slept until midnight, was awakened by a nightmare, in which he saw the five gangsters who wanted to capture him, and when they were stabbed, they showed horror, stunned, anger or resentment, and their dying faces appeared in front of him like a brand, so that he was sweating profusely, and even the bloody clothes that he had slept without changing were all soaked.
Arthur, who woke up from the nightmare, sat silently on the bed, except for the fear of being attacked, he gradually regained his senses, and found a lot of strange things from this incident.
No matter how mixed the dragons and snakes are in King's Landing, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary robbers and bandits to dare to make a blatant move in the city. Moreover, at that time, there were people who were hiding somewhere shouting for command, wanting to order those five gangsters to capture them alive!
Who the hell is this person trying to catch me?
The ambitious queen Cersei Lannister?
Wrong!
Specializing in the benefits, cooperating with the Lannisters in the soap-making method, and putting a low profile on gifts, she still wants to just say a word, there is no need to do this.
The vicious and vengeful Joffrey?
Not right either!
If it was him, he would definitely let the killer kill him directly, and it would be impossible to capture him alive.
The Starks?
With Eddard Stark's integrity, it is impossible to do anything to a business partner, despite the danger of revealing Jon Snow's background.
Varys, the octopus spider?
Littlefinger Petyr Berish?
These two top conspirators in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire are completely untouchable!
But they want to control themselves, why should they let those gangsters be captured alive, and they will not be stupid enough to blatantly attack in King's Landing.
Lan Li is also too impossible.
Although he didn't get a share of the soap business, he was not a profit-hungry person, he had his own pursuits and ideals, and there was no conflict of interest. And the Tyrell family, which he befriended, has also become my business partners, how could something suddenly happen for no reason?
As for the other nobles, they are completely ignorant of the situation, and it is difficult to say whether they have any plans.
And what really makes me suspicious...
It's the illegitimate eldest brother Ryan Weishui, who suddenly had nothing to do and invited me to a dinner, and the school city that suddenly came to the workshop yesterday to reach a cooperation agreement with him......
Thoughts fly.
Before you know it, it's dawn.
"Arthur, you got up so early, you weren't injured yesterday, were you?" Anne, who came on duty, didn't find Arthur in the room, and went straight to the kitchen, where he was cooking a delicious breakfast.
Arthur consciously made her an extra breakfast, and said, "I'm lucky, it's nothing." β
Seeing that he was indeed not injured, Anne was also happy that he was safe from danger, killing the bad guy and growing from a boy to a man: "That's good, but you can kill five people, I really didn't expect you kid to be so powerful." β
He smiled: "It's you who teach well." β
"Don't say that, I know you used those two daggers against them. β
Anne was very pleased that Arthur's skills could be taught without forgetting herself, but when she turned her head to look around, she saw that there was no one, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know who is going to arrest you?"
Arthur shook his head helplessly: "I don't know." β
Anne looked at him with a concerned look and asked, "Then why do you think those people want to arrest you?"
He smiled bitterly: "I don't know. β
Anne sighed, and said in a serious and low voice: "Arthur, King's Landing is not simple, the ministers are not simple, and the nobles are not simple, you are indeed very smart, but Hainlikai thinks that you are still too naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve, and no matter how restless you are, I am afraid that you don't even know how to die!"
β......β
Hearing this, Arthur's face was a little unpleasant, and his heart was not good.
After a moment of silence, he had to change the topic awkwardly and asked, "Who is Heinlikai?"
Anne said, "Heinlikai Weting, she is the eldest daughter of the Weitin family. β
With the memories of the original owner, Arthur knew who it was after a little thought: "The granddaughter of Baron Weitin, the Kingsguard?"
Anne nodded with a serious face: "Yes, Heinlikai is very smart, smarter than you, you should listen to her admonition." β
Although Arthur listened to this and did not admit defeat, he also admitted that he was too prodigal and did not choose a safe lewd development.
"Thank you. β
It was a sincere thank you, Anne accepted with a smile, and after breakfast, she couldn't wait to enjoy the delicious breakfast that Arthur had made for her.
"By the way, do you know where to recruit mercenaries? Arthur asked.
Hearing this, she stopped eating, frowned and asked, "You want to recruit mercenaries?"
"Yes. β
Anne was suddenly a little displeased: "You didn't understand what Hein Likai said?"
"I have to recruit mercenaries. Arthur said that as soon as he arrived in King's Landing, he was busy making money, and he also wanted to have the ability to protect himself when the crisis came, and he didn't have the ability to fight against a hundred, and spending money to recruit mercenaries was the best choice.
Annie: "It seems like a good thing for you to wander among the nobles like this, but you have already learned the danger yesterday, why don't you teach it a long lesson?"
When Arthur heard this, he could only reply bitterly, "Annie, you don't understand. β
"No, you don't understand!" This time she was really angry, and she left without even finishing her favorite delicacy early, and left without looking back.
Looking at the back of Anne leaving, Arthur couldn't tell her anything except a helpless sigh, and if he casually leaked the plot of the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, he would definitely die an ugly death.
The sky is still clear.
The sun doesn't dry the and urine in King's Landing, and the sun stinks into the sky for God to smell, and it won't stop.
The Red Keep on Aegon Hill, the tallest of the three high hills of King's Landing, can also smell the stench of the city.
Heading to the Prime Minister's Tower to continue with the paperwork arranged by Eddard Stark, Arthur meets his cheap big brother Ryan Vishui again.
"I heard you were attacked yesterday night?"
Arthur kept his wariness of him in his heart, forced a smile, and nodded, "Yes." β
Ryan Viche asked, "Is there anything I need help with?"
After a moment's hesitation, Arthur asked, "I'd like to inquire where I can recruit mercenaries." β
