The cold wind whirred and rushed into the house.

Outside the door, more guards arrived after hearing the noise, and inside the door, two night watch officers looked up at the intruder with bewildered expressions...... Jaime stood menacingly in the doorway, completely ignoring the two sentries behind him who had drawn their weapons and pointed them at his vests.

"James?" Egg frowned at the monarch killer at the door, looking like he was about to eat people, vaguely knowing why he was angry. "I didn't transfer you back to Houguan Town, you shouldn't be here. ”

"So I deserve to continue guarding the ships of the Northerners in Icefjord?" I put on black and came to be a night watchman, not to be a guard for the Starks!" Jaime replied annoyedly, turning around and glaring impatiently at the two guards, "Can you stop the chatter? I don't even have a sword, I look like I'm here to assassinate someone!"

Leaving the garrison without an order, and forcibly breaking into the Commander-in-Chief's premises...... At this sensitive time when Iger was planning to march south, he replaced Carter Peck, Bowen Marcy, or Otsell Yawick...... Any old-fashioned night watchman who dares to commit these two sins at the same time, no matter how high his position is, he can't save his life. But the regicide is the regjaper after all, and Egger is still planning to use his father's power for the queen's use with the front foot, can he order his son to be chopped into meat with the hind foot?

Not to mention, Egg knew Jaime well - the way he looked so annoyed with his face was unlikely to come to his own detriment.

"Get out of here, close the door. Iger thought for a moment before giving the order, deciding to tolerate Jaime's presumptuousness for a while. However, he didn't let Humphrey go to be on the safe side—if something happened, one of his subordinates would at least buy him time to draw his sword. If you can't deal with a bare-handed samurai with your usual guy, then you have been a soldier for several years in vain.

The guard, who had just been pushed, reluctantly withdrew his weapon and closed the door, and Jaime snorted and stepped into the room, but instead walked straight to the opposite side of the large conference table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

......

"What do you want to say?" "Eggello breathed a sigh of relief, but still had a straight face on his face, and began to explain first: "Do you know how hard it took me to convince the queen - neither to come to your trouble nor to burn the Lannisters?

"your Queen!" Jaime looked gritted his teeth, "it's your own business who you want to kneel to, I'll take care of you?"

Huh?

It took a few seconds for Egger to make sure he had heard correctly, and then realized that the two were not on the same channel: he thought James was mad about his oath of allegiance to Daenerys, and it turned out to be ...... He wanted to ask Ying to command a war that would never have started at all?

The strategic flicker of this "expedition outside the Cypriots" was so successful that even his own people believed it!

Holding back a laugh, Iger asked seriously, "Well, I see. But—why can't you talk about this kind of negotiable thing, but force your way in like this, so that I can't get off the stage?"

"Why!" Jaime became even more annoyed, "How many letters did I send from Icegap Harbor to Houguan Town to 'discuss' with you, and you replied to me?" he angrily slammed his fist on the table, "If it weren't for the ghoul you sent to King's Landing, you thought I would have obediently proposed to put on black myself?" I had been doing a foolish thing all my life, and finally wanted to do something right, and when you commanded a group of people and strangers to fight in the dark, I was fighting a gang of robbers from the Iron Islands in Icegap Harbor with the sea breeze? Even Elise and Robert don't dare to humiliate me like that!"

"Ahem......" said Egger, who led his troops south to chase down the remnants of the Wraith, and then wasted a lot of time trying to bring the wounded dragon back to the last Hearthplace, and it was really only now that he had returned to Houguan Town, and he hadn't had time to deal with the backlog of letters. "I'm sorry, I really didn't see the letter, I was going to deal with it in the evening. I ordered you to lead troops to garrison the port of Icegap, considering that the port is threatened by Euron and needs a small but elite enough force to protect it, and there is no other meaning. As for the fact that the strange spirits did not attack Icefjord Harbor after crossing the Grand Canyon, I can't predict this in advance......

Egger himself stopped, he thought it was a little funny - in this war, the Night's Watch and all the fortresses and castles in the north that were attacked by strange spirits, only Donghaiwang and Houguan Town barely defended, and the rest were all broken and slaughtered in one fell swoop. And even these two strongholds were defeated by the help of the Red God Priest and the explosive bombs of Longgang respectively...... In the many fortresses on the eastern front of the Great Wall that have not been attacked by strange ghosts, I don't know how many people are thankful that the strange ghosts did not come to thank God, but there are actually people in this world who are so angry because they have not encountered strange ghosts?

Do you still have to explain to him in a good voice?

It's really called realism magicalism.

"Your Excellency, you're wrong. Humphrey, who had not left, interjected with a smile, "The reason for Sir Jaime's anger is neither your arrangement nor the fact that Icefjord Harbor is a northern military port, but that he is angry that he finally made up his mind to atone for the sins of the first half of his life by fighting the strangers and the dead, but he didn't even see the dead and the strangers, and the battle was over......"

"Don't speculate on other people's thoughts!" Jaime blushed and roared, "The idea of using Icefjord Harbor as a military port for the North is stupid! If you don't get involved in the battle between the Starks and the Iron Islands to provoke the Iron People, how can they be full of food and support to attack the Night's Watch stronghold on the night of the strange ghost attack? Without the Iron People harassing and pinning down the defenders of Icefjord, the nearly 2,000 men guarding the harbor filled the Grand Canyon along the line, and the dead might not have been able to cross the defense line at all. Even if you still can't resist it, with me in the canyon or the shadow tower, I will never let the dead break through the fortress so easily!"

Iger does not deny that the martial arts of the monarch killer are the best in the Seven Kingdoms, but if he is in which fortress the strange ghosts cannot be defeated? This is also too arrogant, in the face of such crazy tactics as attacking on the whole front, doubling the number of defenders along the Grand Canyon will not change the outcome, and one or two thousand more people can only delay for a moment and a half at most; as for the role of individual martial arts in the face of the tide of ghouls...... Even if you were to give the Kingkiller a "Dark Sister" or even a "Black Fire", how many ghouls would you hack to death? The Night King would hide behind thousands of ghouls without showing his head, and how many ghouls could you throw his sword a thousand feet away?

"It's just your own one-sided idea. Iger shrugged, but didn't say I thought you were bragging. "I don't think it's a hidden military port in the far north without the Night's Watch...... No matter where the navy is built on the west coast, it will inevitably cost several times as many times the manpower and financial resources of the port of Icefjord to maintain a military presence on the west coast to ensure the safety of the shipyard and the smooth transportation route of materials from the north to the military port. With most of the troops in the quagmire of war, if the Wraiths still bypassed Houguan Town and went south directly, the Starks would not be able to gather another army north to intercept them within a week, and if the Wraiths were allowed to enter the north and kill them, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

"Isn't this also a one-sided idea of yours? If the Grand Canyon doesn't fall, will the strangers still be able to fly to the north? Which round will the Yankees deal with?" Jaime became excited, "Forget it, I don't want to play a war with you here that has already ended...... If you don't let me open the way this time, I will also lead someone to the forefront myself!"

Egger couldn't cry or laugh, this monarch killer, more than thirty people, the second year of secondary school is really a fight with a teenager, how should I answer him?

Although Jaime had been arrogant in his desertion and intrusion this time, it was his own fault in the first place, and his request was not excessive, and he refused him for any reason...... Come on, this is a fierce man who has stabbed two kings, and it takes a certain amount of courage to tie up with him. It's not that Egger doesn't have the courage, the key is that this beam is unnecessary!

Confessing that the so-called "Expedition outside the Fortress" is nonsense?Although Jaime can be considered his own man, Egg is very skeptical of his ability to keep secrets - not that he is a big mouth, but that Hikari tells him, "I'm sorry that all the strange ghosts in this world have been killed for the time being, and the next round of cold god invasion will not be brushed again until thousands of years, so you don't have a chance...... Whether he would roar and make a fuss and cause the news to leak, Iger didn't want to risk it.

What to do?

After a moment of dilemma, Egg thought to himself: Wait, what are you bothering about? Anyway, Jaime is the sworn enemy of the Targaryen family, and it is impossible to take him with Daenerys on this trip south to conquer the Seven Kingdoms, and he has already planned to send the old-fashioned Night's Watch who may rebel and overthrow him during his journey south to the north of the Wall...... More of him and less of him has no impact on the overall situation at all, so why not just promise him and let him lead his troops to go to the empty Saiwai, where there are no people and no ghosts?

When this guy finishes walking around, but "can't find any trace of the stranger" and has no choice but to return, when the night watchman officially announces that he has successfully "expelled the stranger from human power", Jaime has the honor and credit he wants, is it possible to blame himself on the commander-in-chief for not finding the stranger?

That's it!

Egger began to think about which fortress to send Jaime to lead the "expeditionary force" out of the fortress, and quickly began to organize the language, but before he could open his mouth to announce his decision, the guard outside the house knocked on the door again: "My lord, Miss Maeve asks to see you." ”

Could it be that she knew that her own father was making a lot of noise here, and came to relieve herself?

Egg thought it was unlikely, but it was good to come, and Egg was a little curious - Jaime could continue to make trouble like a child who couldn't eat candy in front of his own daughter.

"Let her in. ”

......

"Good afternoon, Lord Egger. Messira's slender and petite body squeezed in from less than half of the door, greeted sweetly, and the next second saw Jaime, the expression on his face suddenly became unnatural.

The girl had actually vaguely heard yesterday that Jaime had returned to Backcrown from Icefjord, but with her current status as the adopted daughter of the Stark family, it was neither suitable nor justified...... I don't want to see my biological father who killed his titular father. But now that he is about to leave, Crown Town doesn't know when he will have another chance to come over, and he decides to say goodbye to Egger, so he still asks for a visit despite hearing Jaime's voice outside the door.

"Messira?"

Contrary to his daughter, Jaime was really taken aback - he was already restricted from Joffrey and Tomman, and with Messira's now public name being Maeve Snow - Winterfell and the Night's Watch had done such a great job of covering up their identities that he was still completely unaware of the girl's existence after spending two days in the same town!

Just as Iger had guessed: Jaime's anger vanished in an instant, and he rose from his chair, instantly leaving the topic of the argument behind him...... After a moment of hesitation, he slowly changed to a tender expression.

"Honey, you...... How are you doing?"

As he spoke, Jaime approached the girl with his arms slightly outstretched, as if to hug her.

"I'm fine. "How good can it be?" Can't pretend not to know, Messila replied helplessly. Fortunately, the three people in this room have long known her original identity, and they are not worried about leaks...... As she spoke, she carefully stepped back a few steps to the side, avoiding Jaime's embrace without a trace, and looked reproachful, "Uncle, you can be heard from a long distance outside the house. Regardless, Lord Egger is your superior after all, so you can't ...... Pay a little attention to the volume? ”

Jaime was speechless, it was a reunion after a long absence, but there was no greeting and hugging and crying when they met, and they came up to blame...... Although the tone was not heavy, but just this attitude, Rao was so embarrassed that his nerves were so embarrassed that he couldn't speak for a while.

"We ...... We're talking about a few issues. ”

He reluctantly replied, and then said nothing more. It's not that she's clumsy, but because of the deliberate title of "uncle" by Messila, or her body movements that silently avoid his hug, they all express one meaning: she is not happy to be reunited with her, and she is not interested in playing any father-daughter scene with him. She didn't come to find herself, but herself, who had no qualifications or position to be angry at her coldness - after all, Messira's descent from being a little princess in the Red Keep to being a guest incognito everywhere was all due to Cersei and her own stupid impulses.

"Seeing that you are safe and sound...... I was relieved. This was true, but the frozen awkwardness and the interested eyes of Egger and Humphrey behind him pierced Jaime's back - he couldn't stay any longer, "I live in the second officer's quarters in the inner fort, and it's easy to find, if you'll want to see me later...... Just come to me. ”

"Hmm. Messira was always so well-behaved and polite, and she nodded in agreement, but did not give any clear reply.

Jaime sighed, gently rubbed his daughter's shoulder, and then turned his head to look at Egg, and even Fang Cai's tough tone could not be restored: "I just mentioned something, I hope the commander-in-chief can think about it, please give me an answer before dark today." ”

With that, he withdrew his hand and walked out of the gate he had just broken in without looking back.

......

(This may be the fate of men who can't protect the people around them.) Humphrey looked at the back of the former young master of the Western Realm, who was obviously tall and still looked a little lonely for some reason, and couldn't help but have such a thought. Looking at Messira's also sad expression, she probably couldn't bear to show her coldness. However, in order to protect herself and Jaime at the same time, she was right not to meet her father...... This little girl has a bit of a brain!

"My lord, I will now go to prepare for the task you have assigned. Putting away his thoughts, Humphrey folded the list in half and put it in his coat pocket, smiled at Messira, and followed Jaime out of the hall.

What kind of look was that, as if it was making room for a tryst between the remaining two?Mercera blushed slightly, but quickly met Egger's inquiring gaze and explained what she meant: "Lord Egger, Mrs. Stark has returned to Houguan from the Wall, and she plans to leave for Winterfell tomorrow at dawn. I'm afraid you'll be too busy to see anyone, so I'll say goodbye to you in advance......"

I see, counting the time, Mrs. Stark's movements are slow. Egg nodded, "What about Arya?"

"She—when she heard about your allegiance to the Queen, she was so angry that she said she never wanted to see you again in her life. ”

"Hmm...... Tut. ”

Egg smacked his mouth in embarrassment - it was a predictable reaction: Anyone would be angry that Miss Stark had gone out to get out of your bed and still couldn't stop you from going to another woman he hated. Arya didn't poke herself with a sewing needle, which was already quite eye-catching restraint.

In the past, this girl had lost her temper, and Egger had no fear, first, it didn't matter, and secondly, it wasn't that she did anything wrong in those few times, she just needed to delay the time to let the girl understand that she was wrong and then dissipate her anger. But this time......

After thinking about it, Iger decided that it would be better to do nothing.

As long as he doesn't plan to change his mind on the point of "supporting the queen", no matter what kind of explanation and persuasion he is, it will only make the situation more chaotic. If the fact that Arya slept with him was accidentally poked out in the quarrel, it would be bad if there was one more reason for the Stark family to oppose him, and it would have a negative impact on the judgment and decision of the northern realm on the land grant policy.

He couldn't have made everyone in the world happy, Miss Stark's favorability, in the face of the plan she had planned for most of her life since she had traveled into this world...... After all, the importance is a little later.

"Thank you, sir, for taking such good care of Tommen and Joffrey, and for making so many arrangements to keep my identity a secret. But before Iger could continue, she quickly went on to say what she had come for: "I have nothing to repay you...... I could only find time to make a small gift. I hope it will be by my side, and bless you – whatever you do next, be safe and smooth. Only...... That's it, you're busy!"

After saying it in one breath, as if she was very nervous to be alone with Egger, Messira shoved something in her hand into Egger's arms, and after saying goodbye, she ran out of the conference hall with a bang, just like the two adults who had just left on their front feet.

What's that? And what's the hurry?

Egger was a little confused by the Lannisters who came and went in a hurry as if they had made an appointment, and picked up the things that the little princess had stuffed into him to see that it was a little puppet. A head with four legs, a nose, eyes and a mane, it looks like a lion, not only residual the body temperature of the original owner, but also exudes a faint smell of goodness, apparently the stomach is also filled with some spices from nowhere, it can be regarded as the Westeros version of the aromatherapy.

A small toy with no practical value, but the gift is light and affectionate, Iger took it in his hand and played with it for a while, and suddenly realized that this was the first time he had received such a gift since he could remember, thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile: What a lovely little thing.
