It's easy to assume that Egger has made similar mistakes three times and twice since he crossed into this world.

Whether it's the mistaken impression of the number of enemies when you first encounter the Stranger and nearly kills, or the failure to interfere with an important plot this time and getting into trouble, it's all because of the same problem. He first decided that Jaime and Cersei would not dare to enter the castle to cheat when there were people in the old inner courtyard, and then he thought that Bran would walk to the bottom of the castle and climb upward...... As a result, both sides unceremoniously slapped their faces with actions, and the tragedy was not avoided in the end.

After racking his brains for most of the night, Egg still couldn't come up with a good way out of the future predicament, forcing himself to close his eyes, and he was so exhausted that he didn't even know when he would fall asleep.

Sleep is always the best rest, and when the first rays of morning light shone into the traverser's room from the small lattice window, he opened his eyes and lay on the bed for a minute, when a bold idea popped into his mind.

Since you can't stay out of the plot, how about not hiding at all?

＊＊＊

Insomnia last night, Iger spent half of his time thinking about how to save Bran from being assassinated, and the other half was thinking about how to get rid of the relationship if the assassination still happened, but no matter which path came to fruition, the reason was simple - when he thought of the idea, he unconsciously put a harsh condition on himself: not to involve himself.

The original author only vaguely gave the object of suspicion, and the screenwriter did not give a definite answer, and fans of the drama on the forum before the crossing could argue for hundreds of floors, some thought it was Cersei who wanted to kill her, some thought it was Joffrey who held a grudge after being slapped by her uncle, and even some were so whimsical that they thought it was Littlefinger who was desperately trying to cause chaos in King's Landing...... The proponents of each view have a large number of seemingly convincing corroborations and reasons that make it impossible for Iger to make a positive judgment.

It was not clear who the Assassins were, who sent them, and how they could be quietly stopped.

It is difficult to stop the assassination, and it is even more impossible to get rid of the relationship after the fact, for a simple reason: the move of the training ground to the old inner courtyard was not hidden from outsiders at all, and the identity of the "first discovery" of Bran's fall from the building is well known, not to mention that the accident is indeed directly related to himself - since they are not innocent, how can they talk about the relationship?

With this lot of difficulties in front of you, and putting shackles and restrictions on your own thinking, delusional thinking that you can hide in the shadows and let things pass quietly, no one will think of yourself, isn't it whimsical?

In that case, just join in!

Iger is usually a sane and calm man, but he is actually quite stubborn and unbelieving in evil at heart, he doesn't like to be troubled, but he is not afraid of things when trouble comes. If you can't get rid of the relationship and can't stop Bran from being assassinated on your own, what if you throw away all the superfluous conditions - break the situation in the simplest and crudest way, and tell the Stark family that someone is going to assassinate Bran?

Following this line of thought, his first thought was to leave a note anonymously to the Stark family, but once such an assassination happens, he will still be in trouble, and if he wants not to be suspected and targeted, he had better play the role of absolute innocence and not be suspected: the informant.

Go directly to a member of House Stark and inform him of the possible assassination of Bran.

Who to look for, Egger first thought of Jon Snow, who he had just met, but thought that this guy was just a child for the time being, and his reliability was doubtful, so he had no choice but to give up. Then, there was only one member of the wolf family left that he knew and had the opportunity to meet.

As for the subject of the report...... After thinking about it, Egg chose Joffrey. The prince himself is the most suspicious, and was suspected by Tyrion in the original books, but these are not mentioned, and the time-traveler considers that his identity is the most sensitive but does not involve himself - Joffrey's surname is Baratheon, and he is, at least for now, the son of King Robert in the eyes of the Starks.

A child, the future ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, learns that he wants Bran to die, no matter how angry Ed is, he will never explode immediately, and even if he does, it will hardly involve Tyrion, who is about to take him away from the Wall...... In order to get out of that dangerous and difficult place, Egger has done nothing.

If there really is any weird existence in the dark to maintain the development of the plot, he wants to see: this time he is willing to take the risk and intervene directly, how can you deal with me?

＊＊＊

Bran's fall delayed the King's return to King's Landing, and Robert returned to King's Landing to take Eddard, the new Prime Minister, and now that the son of the family stumbled and fell and his life and death were uncertain, in order to show friendship and empathy, the King not only did not leave as originally planned, but also guarded the unconscious bear child with his good brother all night.

For the sake of reasonableness, Egger patiently dragged on for a day before carefully finding the chief who had not spoken for several days, Chief Ranger Bunyan Stark.

......

"What's the matter?" Before the support he had requested from his brother had arrived, a nephew was lying half-dead on the bed, and Stark looked tired and worried.

"My lord, I have something that I don't know if I should talk about......

"Now that you've stepped through the door, you've come to a conclusion and have something to say. ”

"This matter involves a certain big person, and I dare to ask the adults to guarantee my safety. ”

Bunyan looked up at the traverser suspiciously, and nodded impatiently: "I promise, say it." ”

"It's about my nephew, Bran. Egger began to speak in organized language, and suddenly felt a bit like a slanderer, for no other reason, and the rest was all made up by him: "He fell off the wall that day, and was first discovered by me, who was testing his marksmanship with Sir James not far away, so I subconsciously kept an eye on it when I overheard someone talking about it this morning. ”

"Hmm. Bunyan nodded to show that he was listening.

"It was Prince Joffrey who spoke, and a knight in armor whom I did not know. The knight said that Bran would not be able to walk for the rest of his life even if he recovered, and that he might as well die. ”

The Chief Ranger frowned, and this was true in a sense: in this cruel and cold world, the life of a disabled person would undoubtedly be difficult and painful, as can be seen from Tyrion's upbringing. But this kind of thought, thinking in my heart, can be said to be a great disrespect to the master of Winterfell...... Who is so arrogant?

Well, it doesn't really matter who you are, you can't just hold someone accountable for what they say in private. Bunyan Stark looked at his most brilliant Ranger and understood that the other party couldn't just come to him for this sentence, and there must be other follow-up developments.

Prince Joffrey agreed with the knight's words, and that was the end of the matter, and that I was about to leave, but His Royal Highness's next words made me wary. Iger pretended to be nervous and continued, "The prince said that he was going to give Bran Stark 'mercy' and relieve him of his pain when he woke up. ”

"Kindness. Bunyan's brow furrowed even tighter: "What exactly did he say at the time?"

"He said that he was to 'follow the example of the Braavosians and give the brat of the Stark family a reward for liberation.'" Iger vividly described the scene and words to the Chief Ranger as he had them in mind, "If that's all there is to it, the prince took out a dagger...... I didn't see what it was, but I was behind a haystack and could only hear by ear—he told the knight, 'This is a dagger made of Valyrian steel, which I took out of my father's arsenal, and the handle is of keel, worthy of a Stark child'. ”

"Go on. ”

"I don't hear the rest of the story, as the two men are far away, but what is certain is that the prince told the knight to go to a mercenary and give him the dagger of Valyrian steel to do the matter. Iger said vaguely, "Personally, I feel that this may be just a child bragging, but after all, the stakes are high, and I thought twice and decided to inform the adults about it." Even if it's just a joke, it's not a big trouble to send an extra guard outside Master Bran's room. ”

Bunyan pondered for a moment with a solemn expression, not knowing what was going on in his heart, and after a while, he stared at Egg and said, "Do you know what you're doing?" ”

"Accusing the future king of the Seven Kingdoms without evidence is treason, and he should be beheaded according to the law. ”

"Looks like you're already well versed in Westeros' culture and laws, so I'm not going to talk nonsense, now go back to your room, and remember not to talk nonsense about it to anyone, it's anyone, you know. ”

"Yes. ”
