"Pretty isn't entirely a good thing for a civilian girl," Tyrion said more than an hour ago, and if his mouth had been opened, how could it have been fulfilled in a moment?

The plot of "robbing the people's daughter" is not entirely a story fabricated in the drama to portray the villain. The use of coercion or coercion by men of status and power to obtain the right to intermate has existed since ancient times, but with the continuous improvement of the legal system, the form has become more concealed, and the means have gradually changed from violence to more gentle......

But why do you want to emphasize that it's a civilian girl? It's very simple—because of the "folk girl", everyone dares to rob it.

This brings us to the concept of feudal lord society - the "chain of protection". The feudal lord and the vassal had the obligation to protect each other, and for most of the time when there was no war, the protection was mainly from above to the bottom, and this relationship could be passed down from layer to layer until it covered the lowest nobles.

Take the King of the Seven Kingdoms, for example—what would happen if Robert took a fancy to the daughter of a knight under the lord of a certain earl in the West, and got drunk and fell in love with the girl?

The knight will find his loyal Earl to complain, the Earl will find the Warden of the West, and the Warden of the West, Duke Tywin, who is known for his iron fist, will find Robert and demand an account for the matter.

......

It doesn't matter whether the knight is favored, whether the earl to whom he is loyal is rich and powerful, or whether the current Duke of Castle Rock is tough or not, as long as the victim has a noble status, then the nature of the matter rises from "Robert on the xx girl" to "The king has violated a nobleman".

As long as the parents or guardians intend to pursue the matter, and the king is not so confused as to want to emulate the mad king, he must be held accountable. If you have a marriage arrangement and cannot marry the victim, then in the future the defiled girl will have to support a dowry when she marries, and if she has an illegitimate child, the king will have to recognize her status, and arrange for someone to raise her and educate her, at least live more decently than the commoners, and so on......

This is how the aristocratic game is played, and Robert suffered a loss - he slept with his bridesmaid Delina Florent at the wedding of his second brother, Stannis Baratheon and Celis Florent. Not only did this annoy the Duke of Dragonstone, but the girl's child, Edric Storm, became the only illegitimate child Robert was forced to admit publicly.

It is precisely because of the existence of this "chain of protection" system that even a supreme ruler like Robert rarely dares to touch even the daughter of the lowest-level aristocratic family.

Theoretically, ordinary people are also protected by this system of protection chains, but the difference is that the status of commoners in the aristocratic game is not "people", but the "property" of the lord to which they belong. Infringing on the "property" of a nobleman is far less serious than directly infringing on the nobleman itself, and under normal circumstances, as long as compensation is given, no one will pursue the matter.

The king is still like this, let alone Genos Slint, a guy who has no aristocratic status, although as the commander of the capital garrison and the head of the city of King's Landing, he can be regarded as powerful, but as long as he has not obtained the knighthood for a day, he will not be able to touch any girl with status.

In addition to prostitutes, girls without identity are generally not beautiful, and it is rare to meet one, so they naturally don't want to let it go.

Iger managed to hang himself, but he forgot that there was more than one man in the world!

The chief logistics officer is used to seeing big people, and he is not afraid of the middle-aged man in front of him - but the county official is not as good as the current management, as half a businessman, and the industry is almost all inside and outside King's Landing, in the face of the local city management leader, Egger is naturally in a weak position, and it is really difficult to be tough.

If you can not offend people, it is better to offend less after all. Although he didn't have a good impression of the guy in front of him, after a few turns of his brain, Egger quickly brought a routine smile on his face: "Thank you Lord Slint for your concern, but the Night's Watch Office is indeed a bit busy these days, and this is not an excuse...... When I have time in two days, I will personally ask the commander to eat and make amends!"

"No need, I don't care if you're busy in that little place. I'm an old man, and I don't want to eat with you night watchman in black, so tell me if I want to give your girl a holiday. As he spoke, Slint looked behind Egger with a smug smile on his expression: "Miss Nina, now that your boss is here, can you ask for leave?"

Around, other people living in the house also came out when they heard the noise, Jaquin, Neil, ...... and Nina herself, who was approached by the door, and it was naturally difficult to hide as a party, so she walked to Egg's side and subconsciously hid half of her body behind the man, and didn't look at Slint.

＊＊＊

"My lord?" the girl asked in a low voice, suppressing her panic.

It seems that he is asking Iger if he will ask him for leave, but in fact, he is testing his attitude.

The first time they met in a paper workshop, Nina felt that the night watchman's chief logistics officer was not only handsome, but also "a very capable and capable person". But if you think about it carefully, this is actually just such a vague and good impression, as for how capable and capable Egger is, and whether she can protect herself in this situation, she actually doesn't know.

If Iger says, "I'll allow you to go and dine with Lord Slint." That means that the night watchman industry can't offend the commander of the garrison now, so he can only endure the humiliation and disgust to accompany the greasy old man to eat, and then find a way to avoid being "eaten" while not offending the other party, but in case the other party comes hard, then he will not be able to escape the tiger's mouth after all.

And if Iger gives other answers, it means that things are still turning around......

It was only in such moments that she realized how powerless and weak she was as a civilian. Neither the skill of the master Tyrion nor his own ingenuity was of any use in such an occasion. His fate is all in the words of the men.

......

Egg was very unhappy, just in terms of influence and power in King's Landing, he was indeed inferior to the head of the city management, but there were more powerful people in this city, and he was so arrogant and arrogant in his speech and deeds, and Slint was the first one he encountered. Like this kind of person who was born at the bottom but climbed to a high position, once the nouveau riche mentality is in trouble, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, it is really very energetic.

The villain is not easy to mess with, and he has tried not to contact it, but now that they have come to the door on their own, Egg, who is also well-connected and has a god teammate like Tyrion, is not afraid of things.

"Nina, you've worked hard lately, and now Lord Slint has asked you, if you agree, I'll allow you to take a day off tomorrow. Iger half-turned, turned his head to the girl, and quietly winked at her by the little brightness left in the summer evening sky.

I hope she understands what she means.

"Sorry...... Lord Sharp, but the office really can't do without me lately," Nina received Egger's signal, and her heart was slightly determined, and she suddenly mustered up courage: "I'm afraid, I can only refuse your kindness." ”

Slint didn't expect to get this kind of explicit refusal that he didn't even bother to change his excuses, guessed that this might be what Egger meant, glanced at him, and lowered his face: "Are you sure?"

"You're a big man, why don't you understand any reason!" Nina's brother Neil said unceremoniously: "My sister has said no more than a few times, why are you a person with a wife and children?"

"Neil, don't be rude. Fortunately, he came back in time, Egger pretended to scold, and then looked at the head of the city management with a helpless face: "Lord Sharpt, you see, since Nina is unwilling, even though I am a superior, I can't force people to eat with you." ”

The air fell silent, and Jaquin stood beside Neil with a dead face, and the two golden-robed men behind Slint looked at Iger in surprise, and then at their own boss—they had never encountered such a situation, and they couldn't guess what to do next.

After all, this is King's Landing, and it is in this kind of high-end residential area, so you can't really be rough.

"Also, since that's the case, let's talk about it next time I have a chance. To Egger's surprise, the commander of the garrison did not put down his harsh words in anger and walked away, but suddenly changed his mind and used the cliché: "Excuse me, let's go." ”

......

Genos Slint turned and walked towards the door, and the remaining two golden-robed men hurriedly followed, and within a few seconds, three uninvited guests stepped through the door and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

......

The other party suddenly began to play cards according to the routine, but Egger was at a loss in his heart, listening to Neil's words, this was not the first time that Slint had come back to his sister - he was completely unaware of the ins and outs of the matter, and he had a confrontation with a character who could cause trouble for himself, which easily made things out of control: "Nina, when did this guy start pestering you? Also, does Tyrion know about this?"

"It's only been two days since it happened, and I've been too busy lately to tell Mistress Tyrion yet. Nina also understood that it was not so simple, and replied with trepidation: "That was the day I put on lipstick for the first time, and I met him when I went out of the office for lunch. Mistress Slint stopped me, complimented me on the beauty of the scribble, and asked me what it was...... I saw that he was about the same age as my father, and he was the commander-in-chief of the garrison, so I didn't dare to ignore him, so I replied a few words, and somehow, he suddenly mentioned that he wanted to invite me to dinner. I thought it was not good, so I found a reason to shirk it, who thought that he would not give up, and he found me again after getting off work the day before yesterday, counting today, this is the third time. ”

How could Slint get to the door of the Night's Watch office? By the way, opposite the office is the base camp of the capital garrison...... I thought it was convenient, who would have thought that because of this proximity in position, such a thing would eventually be provoked?

Frowning and thinking, Neil angrily criticized his sister: "I said before, don't dress yourself up so demonic, you don't listen, now it's okay, cause trouble for adults." ”

Nina was very aggrieved: "I just want to try the effect of the things sent by the applicant, who wants to ...... Bring someone else in first!"

"Alright, it's not Nina's fault. "Egger has a headache, this matter is obviously not over, as the commander of the King's Landing garrison, it is too easy for Slint to get himself in trouble. Now he can only come to cover up the water, "Neil, you just said that he has a wife and children, why are you still so unscrupulous to mess with flowers and grass outside?"

"That's right, sir...... Genos Slint was born in a butcher's family, and when he got married, he was still a soldier in the garrison, so his wife was also a civilian woman with little background. Who thought that he would have a smooth career later, and somehow gradually climbed to the position of commander. Neil explained to Egger: "His wife's maiden family has no money and no power, and he can't care about him as the number one man in the garrison now, this old pervert has always been rampant in King's Landing, and he doesn't provoke the big guys, and we ordinary people can't do anything about him - he will definitely come to find trouble." ”

......

Casey returned to the mansion happily with the dinner she bought, but saw the rest of the people standing in the courtyard as if waiting for herself, and couldn't help but be stunned: "My lord, what are you doing here?"

"Don't do anything, close the door and come in. It was a real trouble, and Iger couldn't help but start to miss the laid-back life of the coalition camp when he didn't have to think about anything but to pull customers. But after all, it is impossible to live forever, and it is obviously impossible to leave for two months without any accidents, and compared to the rapid development of the night watch industry, it is not a big trouble to provoke a garrison commander.

Now that he has come back and learned about this again, then he, the big boss, has to shoulder the responsibility of being a family member: "Don't think too much about this matter, I'll discuss it with Tyrion another day to see if I can settle him." Until then, you ...... Especially Nina, don't run out alone, take someone with you wherever you go, okay, don't stand, go into the house, eat, and then rest!"
