Chapter 20, Prelude

"Hiding behind a woman, what kind of man are you?

Listening to this man's shout, the vigilant Arthur shook his head silently, ignoring and not wanting to pay attention, because this is the Red Keep, the imperial palace of the Empire!

It's not a market where you can do anything!

Moreover, he was an illegitimate child, and Anne was a knight of the guard on duty at the Red Keep, strictly speaking, a servant in the service of the royal family.

No matter how much this group of nasty gentlemen die, they also have the status of nobles, their families and elders are still there, as long as they are not heinous mistakes, no matter how they make mistakes and fool around, they can be favored.

While Anne didn't kill anyone and hurt too much, it was best to stop there.

Because there is no benefit in fighting any longer.

"Coward, don't you dare to fight?"

"Or did the slut who gave birth to you forget to give birth to your *** too?"

was said to have a mother who had the grace of birth and nurturing for him, even if he was not the original owner, he didn't have much memory and affection for the woman who died, but Arthur also had a mother in his previous life.

I can't bear it!

But the courage of the puppet is meaningless.

"What's your name?" Remaining sane and calm, Arthur asked in a deep voice as he looked at the aristocratic young man who was clamoring to fight him.

"I'm Norman Braun of House Braun!"

"Very well, Norman Braun, you will know tomorrow that there is more to a duel than a sword, and death is not the most painful thing. Arthur's threat sounded weak, and Norman Braun and his gang of gentlemen just laughed when they heard it.

"What are you doing?"

From the garden on the other side, I came over after talking to Littlefinger.

Knowing that his movements were clearly understood, the Red Keep was indeed as Arthur had said before, full of queens, Varys's people, and even Littlefinger's people.

Ed felt that there was no difference between this imperial palace and a sieve.

The pure and upright northerners don't have so many fancy intestines, and the huge debts of the country alone, as well as the troubles caused by the martial arts tournament during this time, have already annoyed him.

It is speculated that there is another hidden reason for the death of the former prime minister, and there are still six or seven percent certainty, and the troubled Ed is in a very bad mood and his thoughts are extremely complicated.

Littlefinger also revealed that Jon Arryn's former servant Hugh had become a knight overnight after Jon Arryn's death, and that Hugh was most likely aware of his death.

It was also discovered that Jon Arryn had frequent contact with a blacksmith in the city who lived in a large house on the highest part of Steel Street in the weeks before his death.

Coupled with the trust problem that Littlefinger suddenly mentioned.

Ed, a sincere man, is in a state of confusion!

So when I went to this courtyard, I saw a group of people who were swords-rattling, and two of them were knocked to the ground, and they immediately frowned and spoke unhappily.

"Prime Minister......

Seeing Prime Minister Ed Stark coming, Norman Braun and the other aristocratic faces suddenly fell.

Looking back down the hallway on the second floor of the castle, His Royal Highness Joffrey, who had blonde hair and wished they were teaching Arthur a lesson, was nowhere to be seen, and there was no one else around the courtyard.

It's not what they expected!

Arthur is an acolyte to Prime Minister Eddard and a business partner of their Stark family.

Needless to say, the Duke of the North must have favored the illegitimate children who worked for him and had interests in cooperating.

It's straw bales, yes.

But Norman Braun they're not stupid!

If any of the Kingsguards, ministers, or nobles came over, they would definitely bite Arthur and Anne to death, and make them unlucky, but this Duke Stark from the North, although he would not say that he didn't know them straw buns, would definitely not be pleasing to the eye.

The situation was unfavorable, and Norman Braun decisively admitted: "My lord, we are just joking. ”

Eddard trusted Arthur more than the gentleman who spent his days in King's Landing, so he turned a stern gaze at him, "What the hell is going on?"

Arthur told Anne to withdraw her sword and said truthfully, "They're in trouble with me." ”

Hearing this, Norman Braun, who was afraid of the Duke of the North and the Prime Minister of the Empire, hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, Prime Minister, we are really just joking, and we have no other meaning. ”

"Yes, yes, Prime Minister, we didn't bother him. ”

Doing business with big families such as Stark, Lannister, and Tyrellle has this level of interest, and ordinary nobles will not provoke and offend Arthur casually. But he is still in trouble now, and in connection with the attack he received a few days ago, it is not difficult to guess that someone is specifically targeting him.

After this period of time together, Ed already knows Arthur quite well, and is sure that he will not cause trouble for no reason, so he feels that these gentlemen who are making trouble for him are being fueled by some people behind the scenes.

Since he is an ally of the Stark family, the upright Eddard will not sit idly by and watch Arthur being bullied: "Need help?"

"Thank you very much, sir, for wanting to help, but no, I can solve this matter myself. ”

Arthur rejects Eddard's kindness because he wants to teach Norman Braun a lesson with his own means and ways.

"Good. When he encounters trouble, he solves it by himself, and Ed, who values honor, appreciates such a man, "If you can't solve it, you can ask my opinion again." ”

Arthur nodded, "I know." ”

"Settle down, y'all. Having no liking for Norman Braun's group of fools who had nothing to do all day, Ed waved them away.

Norman Braun fears only the powerful Eddard Stark, Duke of the North, Lord of Winterfell, and Prime Minister of the Empire.

As for Arthur, an illegitimate son with no inheritance, no status, no power?

It's a joke to say that they can solve it by themselves, and they don't feel at ease at all, and they plan to find another good opportunity to educate him and Anne to be human beings.

It's a long time coming.

They all live in King's Landing, and the monks can't run the temple if they can run, and today's field will be found sooner or later!

Watching the failure to find fault, the gentlemen who were still taught by Anne ran away.

Seeing Lord Ed head back in the direction of the Prime Minister's Tower, Anne took a deep breath and asked Arthur, "How are you going to teach them?"

Arthur, who was thinking about it in his heart, heard this, and asked rhetorically: "What do you think Norman Braun's family spends every day?"

"I don't know. Anne didn't understand what he meant, shook her head, and gripped the hilt of the sword that had been retracted from its sheath, "I'm upset right now!"

Ignoring the reason for her anger, Arthur ignored the reason for her anger and asked, "Would you feel relieved if he made his family's expenses ten times more expensive a day, and then went bankrupt and owed a huge amount of money?"

"How is that possible?" Anne thought he couldn't possibly do.

Arthur shook his head when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "This is actually very simple, you just need to go out and let people operate for a few days." ”

"Oops, I'm going to find the princess!"

"I can't afford to be negligent anymore, I'll talk about that when I rest. ”

Anne couldn't figure out what he was going to do, but as a guard, she failed to guard Princess Messira's side, and because she was beating people and losing them, she realized that she had made mistakes one after another, and immediately chased them in the direction they left.

Seeing her rush to chase Princess Messira, who didn't know where to go, Arthur smiled a little helplessly and walked in the direction of the Prime Minister's Tower.

He's going to find someone to go out of the Red Fort with him... Lessons Norman Braun......

Arrived at the Prime Minister's Tower.

Jory was ordered by Eddard Stark to go out in search of Sir Hugh.

They all left the Red Fort to go outside the city, and the two men who took the same route went together.

However, the jousting tournament outside the city is not located in the same place as the workshop, and Jory plans to take a detour to get Arthur to the workshop safely.

However, Arthur thanked him and said firmly, "I can't let you protect me forever. So he rode alone and ran towards the workshop.

When he arrived at the workshop and arranged for someone to deal with the Braun family, Arthur, who was busy, suddenly felt a sense of steadiness in his heart, and it seemed that all the crises and troubles could be solved as long as he worked hard to arrange them!

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