After all, it is a farce of children fighting.

The Emperor will not severely punish the wolf for biting the little wolf lady Arya of the prince Joffrey, the handling of this matter is only to raise it high and then gently put it down, poor butcher apprentice Mikay, and Sansa's wolf lady, are really insignificant.

The first Icewolf to be linked to the fate of House Stark died, and Bran in Winterfell finally woke up from his coma, becoming a shapeshifter and a Green Prophet.

After more than a month of traveling, we finally arrived at King's Landing, which is located on the east coast of Westeros, overlooking Blackwater Bay, densely packed with buildings, sprawling for miles, surrounded by high walls, ugly and smelly.

The city of King's Landing in memory was not rosy at all, and it was only a disgusting stench that made him want to retch, but Arthur felt inexplicably kind.

"Welcome Lord Stark, and send Scholar Schill to convene a council. ”

Returning to the city where the original owner was born, and entering the Red Keep with Eddard Stark, the dutiful Prime Minister heard the word and told his men to settle his daughter and immediately go to the Imperial Council convened by Scholar Paisir.

"Anne, I'll go back and put my luggage away, and we'll go shopping together later. ”

After nearly two months of sword practice, swordsmanship has barely improved to the elementary level, and Arthur can't wait to own a sword.

In such a dangerous world, you can't do without a weapon of self-defense. Men like swords and weapons, even if they will become a bachelor in the future, wearing a long sword at the waist will make people feel a little nondescript, but it is not allowed.

Annie: "Okay, I'll see you later." ”

For the time being, Arthur had nothing to do, so he said goodbye to Anne and returned to his room in the Red Keep.

Even if he was a humble bastard, he had royal blood in him, so he didn't have to crowd with the servants who lived in the Red Keep.

The original owner didn't have any friends, after all, his energy was focused on studying, and his personality was relatively withdrawn, and he had a cold relationship with the people around him, and basically ignored the servants and maids in the Red Fort, causing others to ignore him very much.

This made Arthur even less worried about what would be exposed.

With the money from the Lannisters, I went out to the Red Keep, and saw the beautiful girl who came home and put her luggage and came out again, still wearing the old armor.

Arthur: "I don't know much about swords or anything, you have to teach me." ”

"No problem, most of the blacksmiths' workshops are in Steel Street, let's go to the high hills of Visenya. Anne laughed.

"I heard that in the high hills of Visenya, the higher the shops, the more extravagant the goods are sold?" Arthur touched his money bag.

Anne nodded: "Yes, but the workshop I took you to is cheap and worth the money, don't worry about running out of money." ”

Recommended by Anne, who was quite familiar with Steel Street, the two soon entered a blacksmith's workshop.

Annie: "There are ready-made swords here, and you can also let the blacksmith master here make them, but it will be more expensive to build them specifically." ”

Since the blacksmith needs a lot of money to specialize in making a sword, Arthur, who has other plans, thought about it and said, "Then let's take a look at the ready-made sword." ”

With Anne's help, it didn't take long for Arthur to pick out a longsword that looked good and was easy to use. Then because he had learned Wing Chun for three years in his previous life and practiced the Eight Chopping Knife for one year, he asked the blacksmith to build two Eight Chopping Knives according to his own requirements.

The knights and soldiers of Vislot wore armor in battle, and the knives used for slashing were difficult to pierce, so few people here made knives specifically for them.

Especially such a peculiar short knife as the Eight Chopping Knife.

"What's the use of such daggers?" Anne looked puzzled, completely unable to understand why Arthur had specially created two of these daggers.

Arthur couldn't explain that he had learned how to use this short knife in his previous life, so he could only smile awkwardly and politely.

Besides, a weak boy who will become a bachelor in the future, he will go to the school city to study in about half a year, and in the Red Castle, he basically helps the prime minister deal with paperwork, and he always swaggers through the market with a sword, and it is easy to get into trouble.

Don't forget, in this cruel world, the innocent and poor pig killer will die just because he uses a stick to practice swords with Arya, and Joffrey thinks he wants a knight.

"By the way, Annie, what kind of gift do you want? "Let the blacksmith make two eight slashers according to his own requirements, and there will not be much money left, but Anne has taken care of herself for so long, Arthur will be very unhappy not to give some gifts.

Feeling Arthur's kindness, Anne's eyes showed obvious happiness, and she smiled: "No, as long as you often make food for me." ”

"You can make delicious food at any time, but you can't go without a gift, and I don't know if I will have the money to give you a gift in the future. ”

In a dangerous world like A Song of Ice and Fire, there is no force to ensure its own safety now, and if there is no force of its own in the future, I am afraid that it will never be able to escape the fate of being slaughtered by others.

Therefore, Arthur had to leave part of the money as the capital of the start-up.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and he understood that it was difficult to start a business in his previous life, so he didn't dare to guarantee that he would make a lot of money, and the funds needed to build a force would definitely not be less, and even if he made money in the future, he didn't know how much liquidity would be available as spare money.

Fortunately, Anne is used to simplicity and is not a girl who loves Xirong, so she doesn't care how valuable the gift Arthur gives, and having this heart has made her very happy.

......

Arthur and Anne happily shopping in King's Landing.

At the Imperial Council convened by the Scholar of Paisir, he exchanged pleasantries with the Scholar and Minister of Intelligence, Varys the Spider, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Petyr Berry, and the Minister of Justice, the Emperor's younger brother Lan Li, and then began an important Imperial Council, to which the new Hand of the King, Duke Eddard Stark, was very uncomfortable.

The emperor actually did not participate!

Handing the Emperor's edict to Prime Minister Eddard, Lan Li said, "My brother instructed that a jousting tournament be held to celebrate Lord Stark's appointment as the new Prime Minister."

"How much will it cost?" asked Littlefinger.

Ed read according to the number on the edict: "The winner will be rewarded with 40,000 gold dragon coins, the second will be rewarded with 20,000, and the winning shooter will be rewarded with 20,000." ”

Scholar Paischer: "Can the Treasury afford it?"

Littlefinger replied truthfully, "I can only reach out and borrow it, the Lannisters will help, anyway, I already owe Lord Tywin more than three million, what about another eighty thousand?"

This figure made Eddard Stark, the guardian of the North from the North, incredulous, and suspected that something was wrong with his ears: "You mean the royal family is as high as three million in debt?"

Littlefinger corrected: "At the moment, the debt of the royal family is as high as six million. ”

"How could such a thing happen?" the empire's financial embarrassment, with debts as high as six million, really frightened him, the prime minister, and suddenly lost his temper.

Littlefinger explained: "The Chancellor of the Exchequer is in debt to find money, and the Emperor and the Prime Minister are in debt to spend money. ”

"I don't believe Jon Arryn would allow Robert to splurge like that. Ed said.

However, the extravagance of the Rice Bucket Emperor was beyond his expectations, and Lan Li, Littlefinger, Varys, and Paischer, who were ministers, did not govern the country well, and only wiped their farts for the emperor, and indulged in his profligacy, which also made him speechless to the extreme.

......

In the Red Keep, in the ornate room, Queen Cersei is drugged her precious son Joffrey's injured arm.

Cersei only doted on her son: "If you endure it any longer, it will be soon." ”

"It's ugly. Joffrey looked at his injured arm with disgust.

"A king is supposed to have a scar. Cersei coaxed, "You've won a battle against an Icewolf, and you're a warrior, just like your father." ”

Joffrey shook his head: "I'm not like him, I haven't won anything, it bites me, I just scream." Both of Stark's daughters saw it. ”

Cersei tried to use hypnotic brainwashing to make him forget about the unhappy experience: "No, you killed the Icewolf, and you let the girl go, just because your father respected her father. ”

Joffrey still shook his head: "I didn't, I..."

Cersei interrupted, "When Aerys Dorag reigned, your father was a traitor and a rebel. When he ascends to the throne, history will be left to you. ”

Joffrey: "Do I have to marry her?"

"Yes. Cersei nodded, "She's young and beautiful, if you don't like her, just treat her as an ornament, and when the time comes, let her carry on the lineage for you." If you want to go to the kiln to find happiness, go to the kiln to find happiness, if you look at other good women, then it's okay, you are my son, and everything in the world will obey your call in the future. ”

Thinking of the beauty of being an emperor, Joffrey couldn't help but show joy.

"Be nice to that Stark girl. ”

Happy to happy, Joffrey is still the wayward Joffrey: "I don't want to." ”

"You have to do it, and a small favor will clear the way for you to come. Cersei taught.

He didn't want to hear it, and because of prejudice and displeasure with the Stark family, Joffrey made no secret of his malice: "We give the northerners too much power, they think they can be equal to us." ”

Cersei asked, "What will you do with it?"

Joffrey: "Double their taxes and order them to levy 10,000 recruits to serve the royal family." ”

"For the Royals?" Cersei looked attentive as she listened.

"Why do each lord have so many private armies? all of them have more armies together than the King's Landing Garrison, Imperial Legion, Royal Praetorian Guard, and Royal Knights!" Joffrey said indignantly, "It's too backward for the mountain tribes to be like this." We should have more loyal troops to the royal family, trained by experienced soldiers, rather than a bunch of peasants who have never even touched a spear. ”

Cersei was satisfied that her baby son had his own opinions, and asked, "What if the northerners rebel?"

Without even thinking about it, Joffrey blurted out, "Destroy them." ”

As he spoke, he nodded seriously and said, "Capture Winterfell and arrange for someone from the royal family to organize a guard of the northern border, such as Uncle Kai Feng." ”

"Who are the 10,000 Northern troops for, and you are still their lord?" Cersei asked again.

Joffrey: "For me, I'm their king." ”

"But you've invaded their home. Cersei said, "Order them to kill each other." ”

Joffrey: "I'm not an order. ”

Cersei taught him: "The north is difficult to take, it is impossible to take it without the internal response, where the territory is vast and the climate is harsh, in winter, even the seven gods cannot save you and your royal army, a wise monarch who knows when to recharge and when to destroy the enemy." ”

"So you agree..."Joffrey: "The Starks are enemies?"

Cersei smiled, "Except for ourselves, we are all enemies. ”
