"Discuss important matters?"

Petyr, who had received the same invitation, twitched his nose and vaguely picked up a smell called "anomalous".

On weekdays, he might be amused by such clumsy excuses, but in today's tense situation, he frowns deeply.

Although a vague rift has been created within the alliance, he and Egger still have common interests, and they have not fallen out after all. If there is really an "important matter", how can you call the enemy to discuss it together?

Intuition muttered "something was wrong", but reason made Petyr realize that he couldn't help it.

He didn't sleep well last night, and was frightened by his own imagination, to be precise, the imagination extended by Egger's phrase "once and for all".

He spent the entire night flipping through the covers wondering if Egger would take advantage of the night, tossing and turning over and over whether to alert the Unsullied Guards to be vigilant, and pricked up his ears to hear the footsteps of a large group of soldiers in the wind and snow outside the door.

Although nothing happened until dawn, he still felt deeply powerless after being woken up by the wake-up call in a daze.

Why is this happening?

Once, in front of King Robert, he was indeed full of ambition and bad water, and he was thinking about how to climb to a higher position and gain more power by intrigue and trickery...... But now, as Daenerys Targaryen's Queen, he has really never been more loyal, friendly, and upright.

He put the interests of the queen second only to his own life, meticulously taught, unabashedly assisted Daenerys to help her avoid one trap after another, and he devoted himself to the queen's unification cause, and sincerely coerced all the forces that could be co-opted against the ill-intentioned Varys......

Everything they did was a struggle for one goal: to return the Queen to the Iron Throne.

is such a simple, unmalicious goal and desire, but it is a net encounter with an unreliable accomplice.

Daenerys doesn't mention it, due to the side effects of the true dragon bloodline, her wisdom and temper are jumping back and forth between the "Virtuous King" and the "Mad King", sometimes wise and decisive, sometimes loyal and treacherous, remembering one is another...... It's really like a dragon, and no one can tell what she'll do next.

Finally managed to pick up the allegiance of the Night's Watch and the support of the Land-Granting Army by her blind cat and dead rat, Petyr thought that he had finally found an ally who was both sane and capable, and who thought that he would blow up if he touched a little spark - Varys's slightest provocation could make Iger go berserk in public, commit crimes, and even frighten his own accomplices...... With this emotional management ability and self-cultivation, if you really want to take him to the south to conquer the Seven Kingdoms, what else can you expect from him besides fighting?

Angry, but Petyr, who had already been tested by Daenerys' temperament, remained awake.

He understands that with his background, family strength and black history, he has no qualifications to change his family and the freedom to choose allies, even if he feels that the non-Ming lord and teammates he is loyal to are second-class goods, he can only coax them as giant babies, follow the hair, carefully appease and induce, and pull the queen and the land-giving army in the right direction bit by bit.

Wait a minute.

After a rapid psychological struggle, he suddenly realized that he should ask more.

"Will Your Majesty attend this luncheon?"

"No, the Commander-in-Chief said it's just the three of you. ”

Petyr breathed a sigh of relief: if Daenerys had been invited, then he would have to wonder if Iger wanted to take the queen's power out of the pot and start anew, since there was no ......

Varys would certainly have done some tricks when the nobles of the North arrived, and at such a critical juncture when he had to be vigilant, he could not afford to waste his energy on dealing with his own people. If you don't accept the invitation today, and go to make it clear what Egger wants to say and do in person, you won't be able to sleep peacefully for the next two days.

He didn't dare, and he couldn't refuse!

"Go back to your commander, and say that I will be there later. ”

After taking the messenger of the land-giving army, Petyr summoned several acquaintances of the Unsullied and instructed them to go to various parts of the castle to inquire and observe. After learning from their report that Daenerys had not been invited, and that there were no anomalies in the camps of the land-giving army in the city, he gritted his teeth, called out to the two Unsullied, and went to this luncheon, which was mostly unpleasant.

......

The scene along the way was the same as in the past, the drillers were drilling, the dragons were feeding, and when they arrived at the land-giving army restaurant, there were even two familiar Unsullied soldiers standing and chatting with Egg's guards at the door—the eunuch had arrived before himself.

It seems that even if the supernatural powers are as vast as the eight-clawed spider, in this unreliable Winterfell, they would not dare to openly anger a lord with troops.

Pushing the door open and entering the room with mockery, and taking off his hanging coat, Petyr glanced at the dining room: it was evident that the air had been warmed by the fireplace in the rearranged room, and that all the stools that were usually used for the officers' meals had been moved to the wall and piled up, leaving only the last table in the open space in the center, on which was a sumptuous collection of wine, meat, vegetables, and water.

There is neither a mezzanine dark room nor a screen wardrobe, and the layout is clear at a glance - there is no way to hide half of the ambush soldiers.

Except for the one attendant standing at the table, the only ones who were already seated were the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch and the Chief of Intelligence. Petyr was acutely aware that the last empty chair was across from the eunuch, and that Egger was seated at one end of the long table, the same distance from the other two...... Symbolizes neutrality on the throne.

It wasn't a good sign, but what it meant, he couldn't guess for the time being.

"Trivial delays, a little late, and I ask the two adults for forgiveness. ”

Petyr apologized, but walked straight to the remaining vacant seat with a big grin - he was the hand of the queen after all, and he was half a level higher than the other two in terms of status, no matter how uneasy and nervous he was, as long as the knife didn't go into the stomach, he couldn't show his cowardice.

"At the right time, Prime Minister, please take a seat. Iger nodded, then turned to the attendant, "Pour the wine." ”

Petyr sat down in his chair, and watched silently as the attendant went around with the flask in his hand and poured wine for all of them, each with his own thoughts, without saying the first word or making the first action.

"Good afternoon, two adults. It wasn't until all three glasses were filled with wine and began to steam, and he waved his hand for the attendant to leave, that Iger cleared his throat and stood up from his seat: "I invited you two to lunch today because I have discovered some problems in Your Majesty's Imperial Palace, that is, among the three of us. Out of loyalty to the Queen, I felt that it needed to be addressed as soon as possible. ”

Rao was unable to guess what medicine was being sold in Egg's gourd in the minds of Varis and Petyr, so naturally they couldn't talk about receiving and answering, and they both just stared at Iger quietly, waiting for his next words.

"After several conversations with the Prime Minister, combined with my observations and analyses over the past few days, I now have reason to conclude that the two of us had a disagreement and disagreement on the two issues of whether or not to recognize Prince Aegon's identity and 'what attitude should be approached and dialogued', and then brought this antagonism all the way to the north and mixed it into the advice of the Queen. Egger propped his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and condescendingly observed the expressions of the two people sitting on his standing edge before continuing, "With all due respect, I think this kind of behavior of bringing personal feelings to work is very tasteless and stupid, and it damages the status and image of the two adults, and even makes me doubt your loyalty to Your Majesty. Therefore, today I have decided to act as a mediator in a completely neutral manner, to resolve the terrible situation and mentality between the two of them for the sake of opposition, so that the service of the Queen may return to the right path of reason and wisdom. ”

......

There was a slight crackling of firewood in the fireplace, and the small talk between the Land-Giver soldiers and Varyspetir could be faintly heard across the wall, and Varys stole a glance at Petyr for some reason, only to find that the other seemed to be more dazed than himself.

For the first time since Daenerys landed on the shores of the King's Claw Peninsula to announce her official return to Westeros, they had come up with exactly the same idea at the same time.

What nonsense is this night watchman talking about?

The two of them are nothing...... Couples who have conflicts and become emotional on non-principled issues due to lack of communication, and whose marriage is in crisis due to lack of mutual trust and understanding, need the enlightenment, consultation and mediation of a third party - on the contrary: they are familiar and understand each other thoroughly enough, guess each other's thoughts and purposes, and clearly realize that each other's interests are opposite and the conflict is too big to reconcile...... will be completely driven by reason, calmly and without any emotion, and classify the other party as an "enemy".

This kind of antagonism is endless, and it cannot be resolved as long as one side does not surrender or is completely defeated and destroyed, and now, there is actually a man who calls them in a serious manner and says that he wants to mediate with them?

It's a ridiculous joke!

But it's a guy who is doing it and they're never going to dare to laugh at it right now. The Night's Watch Commander-in-Chief may have been a little irritable and irritable, but he was by no means an idiot, and he had decided to do this foolish thing after a whole day and a night, and what was his intention and intention, but the other two in the room...... The first and second cunning people of the Seven Kingdoms couldn't guess at all.
