Chapter 32: A Question - Asking for Votes
PS: Pleading for a monthly pass! Wild boar chief boar
The entire tent turned their eyes to Kirk, who felt weak for a while, and last night he didn't know how many people in it had slashed at each other, so he had to pray to the Seven Gods not to be recognized.
Jaime saw an unknown squire appear, and waved his hand as if to catch a fly, and motioned for the guards to follow Sir Rodrigo's example. Rodrigo is a knight after all, and he has to scold twice, and he doesn't bother to move his tongue to such a lowly person who has no status.
Who would have thought that King Robert slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze full of anger was fixed on the speaker: "No one is allowed to move." What do you want to ask? Let me tell you first, your voice reminds me of a hated assassin! No matter what you ask, after two questions, I will order you to be executed for the crime of dereliction in front of you! ”
His cold and furious voice echoed in the tent, and Kirk's heart trembled, but now he could only bite the bullet and rush up.
If it is a plot character, he may lose his square inch in the face of the king's impending execution, trembling and kneeling and begging for mercy. But Kirk really didn't have any respect for Robert at all, and he couldn't wait to pull it over and have a good time, and reward countless big-eared scrapers. In the plot, this kind of incompetent wine bag and rice bag, stubborn and self-serving, talks about how much he trusts Ed, and when he arrives in King's Landing, he dismisses Ed from the prime minister for a few trivial things, and watches his good brother Ed be killed by Ed. Lannister insults the crowd. He is neither virtuous, talentless, brain-dead, and even more cruel, he deserves to be a cuckold flying around, deserving to be next to the throne, and deserving to be poisoned by a slut.
"Your Majesty, do you remember being with my lord in Jon. Former Prime Minister Arryn is on his knees. are both righteous sons, grow up together, and are like brothers? Do you remember that for the sake of your anger in the sky, my lord risked his life to return to the north, capsized halfway, and almost died, but he still took the lead in responding and advocating for volunteers? Do you remember that in the Battle of the Burning Plains, our lord was seriously injured by several arrows in his body to cover your assault? You can remember the Baron Greyjoy Rebellion, when the banners of the Crown Bucks and Icewolves flew together. The pomp and circumstance when the two armies joined forces to appease the lords of the Iron Islands? Do you remember the peace and joy of the Seven Kingdoms? The song and dance of King's Landing, the lands of the North and the Night's Watch army fight the wild spirits outside the Great Wall every winter, the dead are intertwined, and thousands of brothers are lost every year? ”
The more Kirk spoke, the more angry he became. Step by step. Jimmy. Lannister took a step back. Draw your sword and unsheath it.
Kirk stared into Robert's eyes. Seeing his contemplative appearance, he smiled slightly and softened his tone: "The former Prime Minister of Arryn has just passed away. You have come thousands of miles this time, and the people of insight and princes in the north and even the Seven Kingdoms know very well that in addition to promoting my lord Duke Stark as the new prime minister, what other important events are worthy of you traveling thousands of miles in this icy and snowy world? I've heard that the Prime Minister's Tower in King's Landing is ready to change the flag to the Wolf Flag! ”
Jaime said impatiently, "What are you doing with all this useless?" As soon as this incident comes out, not to mention the appointment of the prime minister, even the Duke of Winterfell will be dismissed! ”
Kirk smiled and said, "Sir, don't be anxious, I naturally have a reason for saying this!" He slowly walked around Jaime and Cersei, looking at them mockingly, "My lord, Duke Stark, is not only already the Lord of the North, the Duke of Winterfell, but will soon be promoted to the rank of Prime Minister by the King. According to tradition, the prime minister was a prominent position under one of the seven kingdoms and above ten thousand, and he gave alms on behalf of the king, commanded the three armies, and administered justice. In the event of the king's absence, illness, or other unexpected events, he would even sit on the Iron Throne and actually rule the country. King Robert gave the kingdom to him. ”
Queen Cersei shifted her body uneasily, as if she had a premonition of something.
Kirk smiled mockingly, and suddenly burst out: "So! What kind of brain-dead conspirator would assassinate the king who came to announce his appointment as the supreme prime minister of the Seven Kingdoms? Wouldn't it be more logical for my lord to have ill intentions towards the Iron Throne and become the Prime Minister of the Emperor before he assassinates the King, and then takes the scepter and sits on the Iron Throne? My lord is already a great vassal and has the king's favor and trust, so what good is it to kill the king? Especially in his own territory, far away from King's Landing, how can my lord get away with the assassination of the king? What will my Lord do to do this kind of thing that is harmful to oneself and not beneficial? ”
He pressed closer, staring at Cersei and Jaime, "If you want to find out who is really responsible for a murder, just think about who will profit or profit the most!" If the king is assassinated around Winterfell in the North this time, the Starks will become scapegoats and take up the black cauldron of the [Monarch Slayer]! The Lannisters, who are entrenched in King's Landing, will be the biggest beneficiaries! Former Prime Minister Tywin ascended to the heights, and the princes responded, winning the grain and obeying, and after waving his troops to level the northern border, it was natural to help his 12-year-old grandson, Prince Joffrey, to the Iron Throne. Appointed as the former Prime Minister, isn't it a winner-take-all for the Lannisters! ”
Looking at King Robert's suspicious gaze, Jaime roared, "The Seven Gods are above! Queen Cersei and I, Prince Joffrey and I are all by the king's side, and after the fall of Icewind Dale, we will all be buried, is my father so stupid? ”
Cersei screamed, "Take down this deceitful guard, I suspect he's an assassin!" ”
Robert once again turned his attention to Kirk, who were not unsuspicious of the Lannisters, who had benefited most from his assassination in the North. Jaime, in particular, is also saddled with the notoriety of the Kingkiller. The reason why he wanted to take the two sons and one daughter of the Lannister family with him on this trip, especially the rightful heir to the throne, was not without precautions for Tywin. The Lannisters are playing tricks in King's Landing, playing with the idea of creating a new king. But they were all by his side, which was the most important reason why Robert did not suspect the Lannisters.
Kirk paced and smiled, "King Robert, I am a brother to a certain royal knight. He told me that at the height of the battle, despite your serious injuries, you bravely mounted your horse and charged and fought fiercely against the Assassins, but at this juncture, Jaime, the leader of the Provisional Imperial Guard, broke away from the King's vital principles and left the King behind to protect the Queen and Prince Joffrey's Wheel! Is there such a thing? ”
Jaime shuddered, and the man's news and words were like a poisonous snake biting at the vital point, and he roared, "That is the King's Majesty who ordered me to protect the Queen!" ”
Kirk said softly, "Is His Majesty the King important, or is the Queen important?" You, the leader of the Imperial Guard, left behind a king besieged by assassins, only to protect a queen and prince who no one assassinated? True to the Iron Guard of two kings, the Mad King died tragically at the hands of your sword, and my King Robert was mortally wounded. ”
Cersei screamed, "What the hell are you trying to say!" Despicable viper! ”
Kirk shouted, "My king is merciful! I don't doubt the loyalty of your Lannisters, but at the critical moment, he left the king and ran to your palace to join you and Prince Joffrey, didn't he teleport out of this dangerous place together, leaving the king dead with the idea of this? ”
This sentence was like a lightning bolt, and it struck everyone in the big tent!
Everyone began to think back to the fact that they had seen Captain Jaime leave the badly wounded king who was fighting the assassins and run to the queen's palace, where there were not many enemies and three empty cloud mages guarding them, and this kind of evasion and abandonment of duty was indeed very suspicious.
What's even worse is that Jaime clearly bears the infamy of the [Monarch Killer], which is a fact known to women and children all over the world, and it is irrefutable.
Jaime's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he knew that his evil life was out of the woods, and if it weren't for Robert's dedication to King's Landing in order to balance the rewards of the Lannisters, he would not have been able to serve as a regal killer like him to serve as the Imperial Guard, let alone be the interim captain in charge of Robert's safety.
"You're lying! How can we get out of there when we are together? Cersei stood up angrily.
Kirk smiled at Robert, who was still at the end of his confusion, and said, "Your Majesty, you are using the relationship of the national teacher to hire the Kongyun mage of Yaxia with money. But your money is all borrowed from the Lannisters! You owe Tywin now. Lannister 3,000,000 Gold Dragon Coins! Since the Lannisters are richer than the royal family, how could they not be able to buy similar mages, scrolls, treasures, and props to teleport away en masse? ”
This sentence finally relieved the king's most suspicious suspicions, yes, he could spend money to hire a Kongyun mage, Tywin's connections were all over the continent, and the golden mountains of Kaiyan City and Lannister Harbor were even richer, how could they not have similar teleportation tools to leave the dangerous land? The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and he stared at Cersei and Jaime.
Tyrion spoke: "Oh, it's rude to say that, but you did miss someone, and that was me, and they left me on the battlefield. ”
"That's the best part of the story, Tyrion. Sir Lannister," Kirk looked back with a smile on his face, "Of course I know that you have been left behind on the battlefield, but this may have been a deliberate arrangement by Father Ling. Lord Tywin's bad attitude towards you is well known to the world, and his cousin, Madame, and your mother, died in childbirth when she gave birth to you! Your uniqueness is an embarrassment for Lord Tywin! He's always treated you like an illegitimate child! ”
Jaime had anticipated Kirk's next poisonous tongue, and he lunged over and stabbed Kirk with his sword. Kirk turned and snatched the shield of one of the Lannister Guardians, raising his shield to resist, smiling as he smirked, "Duke Tywin is so calculating!" His own son, second in line to the throne of House Lannister, died in Icewind Dale with the King! It can definitely clear the suspicion that Queen Cersei and Sir James escaped from the battle, and reduce the suspicion of the world that the Lannisters were planning the assassination behind the scenes! You're an outcast! Tyrion. Lannister, you're the outcast that Duke Tywin used to play with his spare heat! (To be continued......)
