Chapter 21, the parties appear
"Arthur, I heard you're here?"
"Azara?"
Looking at the beautiful girl in a gorgeous dress who slowly walked into the workshop, Arthur frowned, a little puzzled as to how she came here.
At this time, Ryan also ran in: "Arthur, can you lend me some money?"
"Uh......" Arthur was a little speechless, but did not refuse: "How much?"
Ryan shrugged: "I don't know yet, because Varian wants to participate in the tournament, so he wants to buy a full body armor." ”
Hearing this, Aishara immediately laughed and dismantled the stage: "Arthur, don't believe what Ryan said, he lost a bet with Varian, and he will lose his armor to Varian, but he also signed up for the tournament, and he can't do without armor, so come and fight your idea." ”
Ryan looked stunned, stiffened his neck and said, "What is the loss? It's obviously Varian who begged me to give him armor!"
Expecting that the bastard brother would slander himself, Varian, who also walked in, snorted coldly: "What a shame! Arthur, don't lend him money, borrowing him will definitely play tricks and not pay back." ”
Ryan's face sank: "Do you still want to participate in the tournament?"
Achshara shook her head and chuckled, "Varian, he's going to threaten you again with the words he won't give you armor." ”
Hearing this, Varian immediately glared angrily at his eldest brother Ryan, but opened his mouth but because of Ryan's back-gaze, he succumbed to his power and obediently shut up.
There is no way, armor is needed to participate in the tournament, and the two of them, only the eldest brother of the bastard, Ryan, has a set of full-body armor, and it would be too shabby for the two to share, so if Varian wants to participate in the tournament, he must get the armor that Ryan lost to him.
Let him use his small savings to buy a new one.
Azara, who was going to shop on the street, didn't bother to care about the two brothers, and said to Arthur, "Do you want to go to Steel Street with us?"
The arrangement to deal with the Braun family is almost the same.
It's okay to go out for a walk, anyway, Ryan borrowed money from himself, and he was destined to break the bank today, so Arthur nodded and asked, "Let's go now?"
Seeing that he agreed, Aishara suddenly smiled and said, "That's right, but you have made a lot of money in business, should you give your sister some gifts as a younger brother?"
"Do you want to meet a beautiful woman, and give her a gift!"
Ryan had an expression on his face that all men understand, and he looked at Arthur and frowned and said, "You know, at your age, I have already tasted the taste of a woman, and it is time for you to get rid of the identity of a boy and grow into a man." ”
“......”
Not yet thirteen years old, isn't it too early to say this?
Arthur smiled awkwardly but politely, and followed them out of the workshop and into the city.
Crowded and stinking, noisy and chaotic, King's Landing is never likable, but still thriving.
Jory, who went to the tournament venue, found Sir Hugh, but was crushed because he was not a knight, and he was deflated and could not talk, so he returned to the Prime Minister's Tower to report to Eddard Stark in a depressed and helpless manner.
Prime Minister Ed then went out with him, to Steel Street, and found Tob Mott, the blacksmith who had spoken to Jon Arryn.
And Ryan, who is familiar with the road and knows who to find to build better armor, just happened to come to the same blacksmith shop!
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister. ”
Seeing the blacksmith introducing Eddard to an apprentice who was tall, muscular, with blue eyes and thick black hair, Ryan quickly greeted him.
Seeing the apprentice Gendry, the more Ed with the cow helmet looked at his face, the more familiar he felt, and he only nodded to Ryan who came to his side, ignoring it.
The illegitimate son of the same emperor, for Gendry, who looks a little similar to himself, Ryan thought about it and guessed that Prime Minister Eddard Stark appeared here, maybe he had found his illegitimate brother, and his face showed a little embarrassment in addition to stunned.
"Ryan, why don't you go in?"
There is a generous local tyrant brother, in fact, he no longer has the initial desire for the second-hand armor worn by his brother, and even wants to borrow money from the big Arthur to buy a new set.
Therefore, Ryan stood at the door with a hesitant face, and Varian suddenly came over impatiently to urge him to hurry up, "If you don't want to buy it, you can give me the money on your body." ”
Ryan hurriedly pulled his stupid brother: "Pay attention to etiquette, don't babble, the Prime Minister is here!"
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister. Azhara, who was following behind Varian, heard Ryan's words and immediately saluted Eddard politely.
Arthur walked at the end, because his riding skills were so poor that even Aishara couldn't compare, and his bodyguard Chris walked at the end.
"Jory, why are you here?"
"Your Excellency is here looking for someone. Jory gestured to the blacksmith's shop.
Thinking back to the progress of A Song of Ice and Fire, it was indeed time for Eddard Stark to meet Gendry, Arthur frowned, and began to consider whether to interfere with the Prime Minister's investigation, but he was afraid that it would be detrimental to him if he helped speed up the investigation.
Seeing his sad face, Jory asked, "What's wrong?"
Arthur shook his head: "Nothing, just thinking about something." ”
After seeing the Prime Minister of the Empire, Ryan, Varian, and Azhara greeted each other and retreated, not daring to hinder the unusually serious Grand Duke of the North from talking to people.
Seeing the northern man who had been drinking together last time, Ryan greeted him warmly: "Brother Jory, this is my brother Varian, she is my sister Aishara, how about we find a place to have a few drinks later?"
When Ryan rode to the blacksmith's shop, Jory recognized him, but he didn't say hello because he had to look at the horse.
Hearing this, he immediately remembered the experience of getting drunk last time, shook his head with a wry smile and refused: "No, I will go back to the Red Fort with the Prime Minister later." ”
"That's a shame. Varian, who was also able to drink, was full of pity when he heard this, "When we come back to King's Landing, no one can make our brothers drink to their heart's content." ”
Prime Minister Eddard, who was standing at the door of the blacksmith's shop, had already asked Gendry why former Prime Minister Jon Arryn had seen him, as well as his background and mother. Say to the blacksmith Tob Mott: "If one day this boy is willing to dance a sword instead of forging a sword, send him to me." Then he turned and left the smithy.
Seeing this, Jory, who was leading the horse, hurriedly asked, "My lord, have you found anything?"
Eddard's face was complicated, and he glanced at Arthur, Ryan, Varian, and Azhara, and said, "That boy is also the illegitimate son of Emperor Robert. ”
Emperor Robert had too many illegitimate children.
They will meet in King's Landing, Ryan and they don't think it's surprising, they just feel a little embarrassed, and they don't know what to say.
Ed frowned and pondered for a moment, wondering why Jon Arryn came to meet such an illegitimate child, seeing that Arthur, who was quite smart and trustworthy, was beside him, and his own movements were investigated clearly, he no longer hid it, and asked openly: "Why do you think the former prime minister came to see him?"
"Lord Jon Arryn?"
Arthur's inadvertent look of embarrassment in his thoughts made Ed guess that he might know the same as his nephew Jon Snow's background, and also knew the inside story related to the death of the former prime minister, and immediately asked in a deep voice: "Arthur, what do you know?"
The intelligent Esshara hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Prime Minister, this is not the place to speak. ”
Ed, who was anxious to understand the true appearance, groaned when he heard this, and looked at the blacksmith shop that had just left: "Let's go inside and talk." ”
Having already made a fool of himself in Winterfell, Arthur didn't want to take any more risks, so he took a deep breath and shook his head, "My lord, I don't know any useful information......
Azara: "Arthur, did you know that you're a good liar?"
Ryan coughed lightly and said, "My lord, I want to buy a set of armor to participate in the tournament, can you help me take a look at the store?"
...... To be continued......
