Chapter 9 is full of dangers
Joffrey was the eldest son of the Emperor, the Imperial Crown Prince, the heir to the throne of the Emperor.
The Stark family of Winterfell is the lord of the North, one of the seven nobles of the empire, the head of the family, Eddard Stark, who is about to go to King's Landing to become the Hand of the King, as the prime minister, and Brandon Stark, who fell from the tower to the ground and was seriously injured and was dying, is the second son of Eddard Stark.
If the news of the heir to the throne attempting to murder Eddard Stark's second son spreads, what will the nobles of the empire think? What will they think of Joffrey?
They must be worried that after Joffrey becomes emperor, will he kill people for fun like the mad king of the previous dynasty?
No one found out about the murder plot, and even if Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion knew about it in the future, they would cover it up as if it hadn't happened, as is the case in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire.
But this matter is not only known by Arthur alone, but also by the servants of Winterfell, and now even the Emperor and Eddard Stark know, even if he kills Arthur, he can only vent his anger, and it is difficult to stop the crowd.
Because of that, someone intended to provoke a war between Stark and Lannister, and Joffrey wanted to kill Bran, which has been characterized by the clever Cersei as the Dorag family is secretly using it.
It is said that it is a conspiracy of the remnants of the previous dynasty, but there is actually a little bit of truth, but it is not logical when you think about it carefully, it is just for Joffrey to step down, let him clear the relationship with the murder of Bran, and push it to the illusory mastermind behind the scenes.
The crisis has not passed.
Trying to prevent the assassination of Bran from happening, Arthur is still inevitably hated by Joffrey, who has lost face. Cersei, who protects the calf and is afraid that Bran will wake up and reveal that she is cheating on her brother, will not let him go!
But when it comes to Joffrey's assassination, Arthur did nothing wrong.
Although Emperor Robert was not a good emperor and father, he still understood things and did not want his son who would inherit the throne in the future to become a mad king.
To Duke Eddard, Arthur saved Bran's life and stopped a plot that could lead to a war between Stark and Lannister.
Neither of them will treat him badly.
As the Lannister, Joffrey's true father, Jaime sees this matter sensibly, believing that Arthur's future position is to assist the king's bachelor, and that it is his responsibility to prevent the future emperor from making mistakes, which is worthy of praise.
The sister who spoiled her son secretly hated him, and would not say anything, because Arthur was an outsider and a humble illegitimate child.
The Emperor decided to return to King's Landing tomorrow.
Arthur's job as an acolyte to Duke Ed officially begins.
Go back to your room.
Worried that Arthur would be taken away by Jaime, Annie was waiting for him to come back: "Are you okay?"
"It's fine. Arthur was grateful for her care for him.
Anne: "Then Your Majesty is looking for you?"
"I'm sorry, I promised to tell you, but I can't say it now. Arthur touched the back of his head.
......
Time flickered to daylight.
Because of last night's incident, Tyrion slapped Tyrion who woke up without a dog pen, and Joffrey also paid tribute to the Duke and Lady Stark, and apologized for the mistake he almost made.
Bidding farewell to his friend Jon in Winterfell, Arthur mounted his horse and was led by Anne to the southbound brigade away from the gloomy northern city shrouded in fog.
Under the clear white clouds is a vast green meadow.
Arrived at the stone pier road sign.
"It is a great honor to serve in the Night's Watch, and for thousands of years, the Stark family has guarded the Wall, and you are a member of the Stark, perhaps without my last name to inherit, but with my blood. ”
Jon Snow, who was saying goodbye to Duke Eddard, heard this, and finally asked what he was hiding from his heart when the team headed south passed.
Whispered, "Is my mother Lyanna Stark?"
Hearing this, Ed showed a look of shock on his face, and quickly turned his head to look around, making sure that no one would hear, so he lowered his voice and asked, "How do you know?"
Jon Snow looked at Arthur, who was at the end of the procession on horseback, "It was Arthur Blackeye who told me that he had found the clue in the Battle of Elysium. ”
"Jon, you must not make a statement!" Ed said solemnly.
Jon stared ahead, stunned, "So... You're mine... Uncle ......"
Ed said in a deep voice, "Don't say it again, you should keep this secret in your heart forever." ”
"I know, and I know your difficulties. Jon nodded.
"See you next time, how about we'll talk about your mother?" said Eddard earnestly, unconsciously setting a flag.
......
Dusk, woods, fields, picturesque.
After a small break in front of the tree, the rugged Emperor Robert clapped his hands and returned to the picnic table prepared by the servants for him and Duke Eddard.
"What the hell is my country!"
"I deliberately left them behind, and rode around the world. ”
Sitting opposite the emperor, Ed, who was always expressionless and looked old-fashioned and serious, made people not see the joy and sorrow, but agreed: "It just so happens that I also have this intention." ”
Robert, who knew his friend, knew that he was like this, so he picked up the food on the table without washing his hands, and said while eating: "How about it? There are only two people, you and me, and we will go to the King's Road alone with our swords, and find a few hotel maids to help us warm our bed at night." ”
Ed smiled, "I heard this twenty years ago. ”
"There are wars to fight, women to marry... But we are no longer young. Robert said.
"I'm reminded of a few old teenage incidents. Hearing Ed say this, Robert laughed with him, and the past was a little unbearable, but it made them reminisce.
Robert haha asked, "What's her name?" one of your usual chicks, Becca, and the giant can bury your face. ”
"Bessie, she's your girl, isn't she? Ed replied with a look that all men understood.
"Bessie, oh, to hell with Betsy and her giant ru. "Robert," the one yours... Is it Marina? No, no, no, you told me, Meryl, your bastard mother?"
When it comes to Jon's mother, Ed always shows a sadness that only acquaintances would find, so Lady Caitlyn thinks he loves the woman very much: "Vera." ”
"It's her, she's such a rare girl that Duke Eddard Stark has forgotten her honor. You didn't tell me what she looked like. ”
Because Arthur told Jon about his background, Ed felt as if his friend the Emperor was testing him, and he really didn't want to talk about it: "Not in the future." ”
"We were at war at that time, and no one knew if we would come back alive, and you were too yourself, and you were always so virtuous. Robert said with an unhappy look on Ed's face, "I swear if I weren't your king, you'd have beaten me." ”
Ed said seriously, "Your coronation has brought the worst... It's just that I'll never get a chance to hit you again. A smile returned.
"Believe me, it's not the worst. Robert took out a new letter from Raven: "The Dorags have the support of Drogo Kao, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the troops will be dispatched, and we must kill the remnants of the Dorags." ”
"Don't tell me about that. "I'm really disgusted by the assassination of Eddard, especially since last night Joffrey had his second son Bran assassinated.
"Oh, are these words unpleasant to you? His father is unpleasant to your family, what did Rhaegar Dorag do to your sister, the woman I used to love, I will slaughter every Dorag I meet!" said an exasperated Robert.
Ed: "But you can't kill this one with your own hands, can you?"
Robert: "This tribe of Drogo Kao is a hundred thousand people. ”
"Even a million or more Slavs are not a threat to the Empire. Ed argued with him, "As long as they stay on the other side of the Narrow Sea, they don't have a boat, Robert!"
Robert: "Many people in the Seven Kingdoms call me 'The Usurper', and if that child of the Dorag family crosses the sea with the backing of the Dothraki tribe, the scum will join in!"
"He can't cross the sea. Ed knew very well how barren the continent across the sea was, "Even if he had a chance to come, we would throw him into the sea." ”
"Ned, war is coming, I don't know when it will happen, and I don't know who we're fighting against, but it's coming!"
