Megar House, the king's living room.

Cersei and Joffrey.

"Joffrey, after the public meeting is over in a moment, you and I will go and apologize to my grandfather. ”

Joffrey glared at his mother, incredulous, "I apologize to my grandfather?" His voice became very high-pitched to show his incomprehension, and after a while, his tone calmed down, as if he had figured something out, but the will not to apologize in his words was firm, "Why?"

"You did a lot of things wrong today. Cersei felt powerless in the face of Joffrey, and she remembered the words of the little devil: Joffrey knows that you will never really hurt him, so he will never be afraid of you.

"I don't apologize to my grandfather. Joffrey affirmed, "Sansa, I want her to change my clothes." ”

"You can't touch Sansa. Cersei said clearly. She decided to show her tough side to Joffrey, who was out of the loose and had to be held on.

"She's already menstruating and she's still my fiancée. ”

"Your marriage will soon be terminated, she is our hostage, she is safe, and Uncle Jaime will be safe. ”

"Uncle James?" Joffrey suddenly laughed and looked at his mother, "Mother, I've heard rumors that you and Uncle James are carrying my father behind my father's back......"

Syllable!

A resounding slap in the face.

Cersei starts hitting Joffrey for the first time.

When she saw the child's shocked eyes, she immediately regretted it. The slap seemed to hit her own face.

Joffrey glared at his mother, his hand pressed to his hot face, and he almost shouted: "Where was my grandfather seventeen years ago, when my father Robert killed Rhaegar with his hammer? When the overall situation of the Seven Kingdoms was decided, and the Targaryen dynasty was doomed, my grandfather came out and seized King's Landing, but I didn't need my grandfather's help, King's Landing was already my father's; Uncle James killed the Mad King and sat on the Iron Throne, but Lord Ed walked into the throne hall, he still had to come down from the Iron Throne, and my father brought down the country, why did my grandfather come and all the power was his? And I am the real king, but you want me to apologize to him, and dare to beat me?"

Cersei stammered, speechless!

"Why can't I touch Sansa, I want her tonight. ”

"You have a new fiancée, Miss Margaret Tyrell of House Tyrellle. ”

"I don't want her. ”

"You have to marry her, it's a political marriage. When Stannis attacked King's Landing, my grandfather had to make an alliance with House Tyrrell, and we needed the army of House Tyrrell, and one of the conditions of the alliance was that you marry Miss Margaret Tyrell. ”

"We have won the war, and we don't need the army of the Tyrells at all, nor the army of my grandfather. King's Landing has the Magic Mountain, the garrison, the king's army, the Red Keep guard, and the Klegane army, it's enough!"

"At that time, the situation was urgent, no one could predict the situation of the war, and we needed all the forces that could be allied with. ”

"Very well, then we don't need it now, so there's no need for another alliance, I'm going to marry Sansa. ”

"Absolutely not. Cersei said flatly, in a harsh tone, "Because we need the Tyrells' food to feed the people of the city, or the people of the city will tear us apart." “

Joffrey was furious: "I'm the king, why do you say no to me? I want Sansa, you say no, I'm going to get rid of Tyrell, you say no, I don't marry Margaret Tyrell who is already married to Blue Lane, you still say no, tell me, what can I do?"

"Margaret Tyrell is young and beautiful, prettier than Sansa, the strength of the Tyrells is much stronger than the Stark family, Margaret is married to Lan Li, but she is still a virgin, I have confirmed this with Lady Olenna. On the wedding night, Lan Li didn't touch her at all. ”

"Why, I don't believe it!" Joffrey craned his neck, half of his face was already flushed, the corner of his right mouth was upturned, and he looked at his mother defiantly with a sneer.

"Lan Li loves Loras Tyrell, and Loras Tyrell loves him. Cersei felt bitter when she said it, whether these things should be said or not, whether they had a bad impact on the child, she couldn't judge. But not to mention, how to make Joffrey understand that the wedding night is not Margaery's problem, but Lan Li's problem.

"Oh, it seems the rumors are true. Joffrey said lightly, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

He turned and slammed the door, leaving Cersei stunned on the spot: Joffrey said that it seemed that the rumors were true, and Cersei heard something else, about her and Jaime...... The child got it...... Is it?

In the Shee compound of the steel gate.

As soon as Boron entered, he complained about the dim light and insisted on lighting a fire in the fireplace.

Soon, the fire was blazing.

The warriors of the hill tribes had already drunk in the courtyard, and the noise continued. The foul language is mixed with the sound of fighting.

Tyrion pushed the wine in front of Bolon, who took a sip and frowned: "What wine? mare's milk or milk?"

"I've run out of money, Bolon, hold on. ”

Boron put the glass on the table, and the wine splashed: "Half-human, what about the agreement between us?"

"I'm still going to hire you, it's still that price, anyone who hires you to kill me in the future, I'll still pay double the price, I hope you can remember this, it will never change. ”

"you, you're a poor bastard now, and you still owe me a commission. ”

The little devil is used to Bolon's rudeness, he used to be a prime minister, Cersei was a little more jealous, now he is nothing, it is the best time for Cersei to start, his life is facing the most serious threat. He had to save himself, and he might as well count on his father Tywin as well as the Seven Gods.

"Although you married the silly woman of the Stowalkers family and was named the Knight of the Blackwater, you are still a stupid mercenary, think about it with your brain, my brother is in the underground black prison of Riverrun, my father has given up on him, and he refuses to negotiate with the people of the north for him, my sister is the queen mother in the Red Keep, so who should inherit the city of Castle Rock in the west? ”

"Okay, so what are you asking me to do? pay me a commission, or tell me to drink your watered wine, or tell me to kill someone?"

"I don't have any official position in the Red Keep anymore, and now I can only return to live here, and I need you to protect me here. ”

Bronn looked at Shaga and Conn, who were already drunk, "Do you still want these fools? ”

"Yes. The little devil took a sip of wine and lowered his glass heavily, "But my war has just begun." ”

"Where's Podrick?"

"At the Red Fort, help me keep an eye on my father, and I will go to him whenever he is free. ”

"Looking for your father?"

"Yes!"

"What for?"

"I want Kaiyan City. ”

"Your father won't give it to you, dwarf. Boron took a sip from his glass, frowned, and finally swallowed.

"If he doesn't give it to me, who can he give it? The opportunity is earned by himself, and so is Castle Rock City. “

"Well, gnomes, if you can inherit Castle Rock, I will continue to be your bodyguard, and I can recruit troops to protect you in the territory of the House of Stowalk, and of course the money will be paid by you. If you can't get Kaiyan City, I'm sorry, I'm going to leave you, and before you leave, you owe me no less commission. ”

Bronn reached out and took the plate in front of Tyrion, a whole chicken, and he tore off a large chicken thigh.

Tyrion with a wound on his face was not in a good mood, and Bronn was becoming more and more rude, and he finally couldn't hold it back: "Bron, have I allowed you to eat dinner for me?"

"I know you don't plan to eat any more," Bronn took a bite out of a large slice of chicken, "and now the whole city is starving, and it is a crime to spoil food." Half-human, can't you get some good wine?"

"You are too presumptuous," he warned, "I am a Lannister, and perhaps my father, remembering my ingenuity, will send for me to-morrow and appoint me Minister of State Intelligence." ”

"Oh, I don't think you can think of anything, dwarf!"

Syllable!

Bronn casually threw the chicken bones in front of Tyrion, and the chicken bones flipped over: "Clever half-man, have you ever thought that if the order of birth was adjusted, everyone's life would be much better?" he put his finger in the chicken and tore off a handful of breast meat, "I mean the crying Tomman, yes, it's Joffrey's brother, well-behaved, cute, fair-skinned, the same blonde and blue-eyed, it seems that he does whatever he is told to do, and he is like a good king." I bet a lot of people would rather the king be Tommen. ”

Tyrion immediately realized the mercenary's hint, and a chill crept up his spine: if Tomman was king......

There was only one way to make Tommen king.

No, he didn't even want to think about it.

Joffrey is his nephew, Cersei's son, Jaime's son. Jaime is still in the Black Prison in Riverrun, and there are already people here who want to ......

"With those words, I should have cut off your head," Tyrion snapped.

Boron laughed.

"Where did you hear these words?"

"No, gnome, that's what I thought. I'm sure a lot of people in the throne hall today think so, what do you think?"

Tyrion remembered Joffrey's actions in the throne hall today, and a cold sweat broke down his spine: Dad is a ruthless person, the Queen of Thorns is even more ruthless, and Littlefinger is an absolutely ruthless person hiding in the shadows...... These ruthless men coexist with Joffrey in the Red Keep......

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and they stopped at the gate of the compound, and the footsteps sounded, and Podrick rushed in: "My lord, the meeting of the Prime Minister has ended, and we have returned to the Prime Minister's Tower." ”

"Okay, let's go. ”

"The one who returned to the Prime Minister's Tower with the Prime Minister is also Lord Magic Mountain. ”

"Oh, that's okay. By the time we got to the Prime Minister's Tower, the Magic Mountain must have left. ”

Tyrion stood up and walked out with Podrick, who was still nibbling on the chicken, frowning and drinking very unpleasant wine, which had become more demanding since he settled in Stolick Worthburg.

"Bolon!" exclaimed Tyrion.

He had Shaga and Conn, and the mountain warriors, but they were all about the same.

Boron sits, steady as a mountain.

Tyrion sensed something was wrong, "What's the matter with you, Bronn?"

Without Bolon's protection, he would have little sense of security on the streets.

"Half-man, I don't mind being your squire. I think back then, King Robert also served as Jon Arryn's squire, and Ed Stark, the great nobles and lords have a tradition of being other people's squires, which is not ashamed, but I am now the master of Stoark Castle, the Knight of the Blackwater River, and my wife is the rightful heir of Stook Worth Castle......"

"Yes, you also know that you are the master of Fort Stooakwood, why don't I?" said Tyrion. Without Tyrion's help, Bron's life would have been lost to Fort Stowalk.

Bo Long laughed: "Half-human, your kindness, I protected you from being hacked to death many times during the Battle of the Blackwater River, and I think I have paid off most of it." Well, now the commission is doubled from the original price, and I'll stand up and go with you. ”

"Then keep up, mercenary!"

Prime Minister's Tower.

Den.

Duke Tywin sat behind his desk, flanking his younger brother Kay von Lannister.

Both lions looked at the Magic Mountain.

Moshan stood at his desk, his head almost reaching the ceiling of his study.

Tywin said lightly, "Magic Mountain, I was surprised that you accepted Dragonstone. ”

"I'm surprised, Father, too. ”

"Dragonstone is a desolate island, with more rocks than dirt, and only a few fishing villages and a few nearby islands in the territory. ”

"Yes, Father. ”

"Casterme has a fertile land and a lot of gold mines, aren't you going to ask for it?"

This problem is very serious, and if you are not careful, there will be a catastrophe in the Magic Mountain.

"Father, His Majesty has taken us by surprise to all of us. "The Royal Navy fleet was indeed destroyed by my command, and I also promised the naval officers and soldiers that if they were damaged in battle, I would be responsible for their family's living materials and the inheritance of their descendants, and urge the government officials to pay full pensions. I have learned in the past few days that many descendants of officers and men want to inherit the naval duties of their fathers, whether they are sailors or soldiers, and some even captains. Ask my father to give me time to reorganize the Royal Navy fleet, and when that's done, ask him to allow me to take Dragonstone and get rid of the last remnants of Stannis, and then I'll return Dragonstone to the king and step down as Sea Lord. ”

Be quiet.

The famous gold thread in Tywinbi's eyes sparkled.

He did not agree or disagree.

"Magic Mountain, in view of Joffrey's ignorance today, someone suggested that I send Joffrey to the Old Town Academy for further study, and then come back to continue to be the king after he is gone, and during his absence, the Imperial Council will temporarily preside over all government affairs, what do you think?"

Moshan chuckled in his heart, history has completely changed, and the road ahead seems unpredictable.

But, perhaps, this is another test question for the Duke. What Duke Tywin didn't say explicitly was: If Tomman were king...... As soon as Joffrey leaves, there is no chance of returning...... That's Tomman king......

"I don't think it's right, Father. ”

I have to try my best to pull the world trajectory back, although the culprit who changed the trajectory of the world is the magic mountain itself.

"Oh?"

"Joffrey is terrible to show the prime minister's cleverness. As long as the control is tightened, and the ladies, guards, court chiefs, and guards of the royal guards are held accountable for the king's words and deeds, then nothing is out of control. If the king is sent away, the Seven Kingdoms will think that their father wants to take control of the court. The Seven Nations are still in civil strife, which only increases the suspicion of their own people and gives the enemy an excuse to incite the people. ”

Both Kavon and Tywin moved imperceptibly.

Magic Mountain's advice was pertinent, and both Tywin and Kaivon listened to it, but the shrewd insight he showed made them even more jealous!

The Magic Mountain is getting stronger and stronger in all aspects!

"Magic Mountain, Joffrey himself would not have been able to do the decree of entry and the appointment of the Minister of the Sea issued to you today, who drafted it for him behind his back, who instructed him behind it, I don't know, but I know who to go to ask about all this. ”

Demon Mountain chuckled in his heart again.

Tywin's knife was raised again, and he, apparently the Duke of Dragonstone, was still the same demon mountain, the vicious dog.

"Horace Kevin, head of the court, take a moment to go to him, and talk to him about who proposed and drafted Joffrey's order of entry and order, and who revised and finally copied it, and report it to me later. If it was Joffrey's own idea, then who was the writer, the bachelor or the director, and if there was no one behind it, kill the person who wrote and report back to me. ”

"Yes, Father. ”

The mountain walked out of the study, he was sure he was safe for the time being, because Tywin was still going to use him.

A knife that has been used for twenty years is not so easy to discard.

As long as the Duke still has enemies, and the Demon Mountain continues to be obedient, the safety factor should be on the high side.

But the mountain decided to act ahead of the curve, and he wanted to hurry back and meet Jenny to find out what the 'prophecy of disaster' she had seen.

Magic Mountain walked out of the Prime Minister's Tower, and saw the little demon Tyrion at the gate, with two attendants by his side: Bronn and Podrick.
