Chapter 22, No One Achieves It Overnight (Ask for Collection~!!)

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister. ”

Eddard Stark, who had just left, suddenly returned, and the blacksmith Tob Mott hurriedly greeted him.

"Tob, I'm going to buy armor!" Ryan took out his money bag and raised it, then approached him and asked in a low voice, "Is there a quiet place that anyone disturbs?"

Tob Mott was stunned, and when he saw Ryan take out a golden dragon from the bag, he immediately nodded like garlic, and led everyone into the room in the blacksmith shop.

Jory and Chris pulled the horse to the door of the blacksmith shop with some domineering attitudes, Ryan and Varian pulled the blacksmith and Gendry back to the shop to look at the armor, while Azhara casually stood outside the room.

"Arthur, today we're going to have an open and honest conversation. Closing the door, Eddard Stark's usually stiff face became more serious.

"How did you know about Jon's origins?"

"Guessed it. The answer was reluctant, but Arthur, who was caught off guard, couldn't have a better explanation, even if he showed that he was a time-traveler and knew their past and future, Ed couldn't believe it.

Ed frowned tightly, "How did you guess that?"

Arthur: "Well, if I were Rhaegar, I would never send three powerful Kingsguard guards to guard the Tower of Elysium for no reason, he must have done so to protect someone important... And I guess this important person is your sister... Jon... It was in Tari that he was born......"

"After all... Your sister, my lord, was sent back to Winterfell by you after this battle. ”

It was still a far-fetched statement, and Eddard Stark, who heard this, was silent for a long time, but did not ask the same question again, only looked Arthur in the eyes, and said solemnly: "Swear to me, never say this again!"

"I swear. Arthur nodded obediently, "This secret will always be hidden in my heart and will not be told again." ”

Ed, whose face was expressionless, still couldn't tell anyone any emotion: "Okay, now tell me, what do you know about the death of former Prime Minister Jon Arryn?"

This one must be well thought out before it can be answered.

If you don't answer well, the empire will go to war, which will lead to the destruction of human lives.

However, Ed, who had waited for a moment, didn't give him any more time to think, and said sternly, "Don't think about it, answer immediately!"

Arthur was so depressed that he vomited blood: "I... Former Prime Minister... I don't really know how much information ......"

"You said you don't know much information, which means you don't know much, but you still know a little!" Ed easily grabbed his language loophole, "Tell me what the hell the message is!"

"Lord Jon Arryn... It was poisoned. "Thinking about it, Arthur only dares to say so much for the time being.

Ed: "So, I'm right to guess he was murdered?"

“...... Yes. Arthur nodded bitterly.

Hearing this, Duke Stark's face was no longer unwavering, anger burned in his eyes, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

"I don't know. This time Arthur replied quickly.

"You're lying!" But Ed, an upright northern man, couldn't fool him: "You know who it is!"

Arthur was beaten to death and did not admit it: "I really don't know. ”

Ed was so angry that he even put him on the list of suspicions: "Why are you hiding the murderer?"

Receiving the momentum of the Duke of the North, and the murderous aura of the soldiers who had experienced the war, Arthur felt a palpitation, and swallowed his saliva.

He said, "I... Can't tell ...... right now"

"Why?" the Winterfell lord, the silent wolf's calm face, showed the toughness of the northerners.

Arthur was helpless to the extreme: "Because you know that you will definitely tell the emperor, and then cause the country to riot and break out into war." ”

Tough style, Eddard Stark is not stupid: "So the person who killed Jon Arryn is in a high position, or is it a big noble?"

"Is it from the Lannisters?"

Arthur sighed and said depressedly, "No, but it has something to do with them." ”

"What does it matter?" the wolf chased after his prey, as did Eddard Stark, the silent wolf, who would not give up until he asked.

"I told you there was definitely danger, this is King's Landing, and you can't protect me, and I shouldn't talk about it. Arthur confessed that he was afraid of death.

Ed: "What do you mean?"

Arthur sighed: "Soon, probably in the next few days, you will see an illegitimate daughter and her mother again, and then you will understand by flipping through the book "The Genealogy of the Seven Nobles of the Empire". ”

At this point, Eddard Stark let Arthur go for the time being.

Because what he wanted to know, he already knew pretty much the same, and now he only needed important evidence.

Ryan has a bold and uninhibited personality, and can get along with anyone, and when Arthur and Ed were talking, he was already familiar with Gendry, who was also an illegitimate child.

Of course, Ryan still didn't tell Gendry that he was actually the emperor's illegitimate child, nor did he say why he looked like him.

This guy is also very thick-skinned, and he walked up to Arthur with an expression of slaughtering a fat sheep and said, "Dear brother, I have chosen the armor, and there are still thirty golden dragons left." ”

“......”

Arthur sighed helplessly, asked Chris, who was standing at the door, to take the money in, and silently lent the golden dragon to pay the bill to Ryan, who was happy and excited.

I wasn't in the mood to go shopping anymore, so I was depressed and returned to the Red Fort with Ed and Jory.

Desperate to know what information is hidden in "The Seven Great Noble Genealogies of the Empire", back at the Prime Minister's Tower, Ed sends Jory to deliver a letter to Emperor Robert, who is desolate and has a rice bucket.

It's a pity that Jory, like in the original play, couldn't deliver the letter, not to mention, and was stopped by Jaime on duty and suffered again.

Back to the room.

Arthur was actually quite apprehensive.

In order to leak the death of the former prime minister, I am afraid of being targeted by Lannister and Littlefinger.

I am even more afraid that Prime Minister Eddard Stark will suddenly ask him to stand up and point out the murderer, and then be hated by all forces.

The doors and windows of the room were closed, but he always felt that someone would break into the door suddenly, there would be a hidden arrow from the window, or a raging fire that could only wait for death in despair.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

Thinking about it, suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Arthur, who was lying on the bed*|, was so frightened that he immediately drew his sword and got up.

"Arthur, are you in there?"

It was Annie's voice.

Finding out that she was looking for herself, Arthur suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart was temporarily put down, and he felt that he seemed to be overly sensitive because of fear, and his cranky thoughts were almost suffering from persecution paranoia.

Seeing that Arthur's face was not very good when he opened the door, Anne was concerned: "I called you many times and didn't respond to me, what's wrong?"

After a bad experience and bad luck today, Arthur, who was a little emaciated, shook his head weakly: "It's okay. ”

Annie: "You don't look like you're fine. ”

"Come in. ”

Arthur sighed and asked her to come into the room to talk.

"What did that Norman Braun do to bother you?" asked Anne as she came in and sat down.

"It's not. Arthur shook his head, "He's not worth my trouble, and he's not qualified to do so." I'm annoyed... It's a national event. ”

Anne looked at him and asked, "Can you tell me about it?"

"Do you think the Starks have captured the Lannisters, and the two will go to war?" said a worried Arthur.

Hearing this, Anne nodded her head: "The Lannisters have debts that must be repaid." ”

"Do you think there's anything you can do to stop it?" said Arthur, shaking his head sullenly.

Heart: It's useless to stop Lady Caitlyn from catching Tyrion, Eddard Stark will still find out that Joffrey and Tomman are the sinners of Cersei and Jaime.

War could not be avoided, otherwise he would not have prepared so much for it.

Annie: "Why didn't you tell Your Majesty?"

"It's useless, Stark and Lannister have a deep grudge, and besides, if the war really starts, the emperor can't stop it. Arthur was very melancholy.

Anne asked angrily, "Why are you bothering here when you think it's useless to do anything?"

Arthur: "I ......"

Anne stared into his eyes and asked, "Actually, you have a way, right?"

"I don't know if I can make it......"

"It doesn't matter if it works out in the end. Anne behaved more like a man than he did, and said in a sonorous voice: "Do it first! Even if you fail, at least you have worked hard and have no regrets!"

...... To be continued......
