"You say Petyr is the real murderer of Jon Arryn?"

Prime Minister Inside the Tower, Duke Ed looked at the "Red Viper" Prince Oberon in front of him in disbelief.

"Yes, otherwise why would I attack him for no reason?"

Duke Ed simply laughed angrily: "Petyr was not in Starfall City at the time, how could he murder Jon?" Oberon, if you want to exonerate yourself, you have to find a good reason. ”

"Petyr and his secret lover, Rysa Tully, poisoned Jon Arryn, so that woman hid in the Eagle's Nest and didn't dare to come to King's Landing, and she was weak-hearted."

"That's your proof?"

"Is there any evidence that they said I killed Jon Arryn?" Prince Oberon asked rhetorically.

Duke Ed paused and said, "That's why you're going to be judged!" If there was solid evidence, you should have been sent to the gallows long ago. ”

"In that case, I ask Petyr Berish to stand trial with me." Prince Oberon made a bland request.

Duke Ed looked at Prince Oberon for a long time before nodding and saying, "Yes, you will be tried together as suspects tomorrow." ”

Prince Oberon smiled triumphantly: "I trust that the gods will make a fair judgment. ”

Duke Ed snorted lightly and said, "Then you shouldn't have attacked Lord Petyr!" ”

"It's just a small lesson for him, who let him design to frame me."

"The so-called framing is just your side of the story, attacking the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the street, Oberon, you give me a black prison to reflect on!" Duke Ed made no secret of his dislike for this man.

"Okay, just stay for one night anyway." "But, as a fellow suspect, I ask Petyr to live with me in the black cell." ”

"You're not qualified to ask me." Duke Ed waved at the golden-robed guards, "Put him in a black cell." ”

"Lord Eddard, tomorrow you will know my innocence." Prince Oberon Road.

"Innocent?" Duke Ed looked at this man with disdain, "Red Viper, even if you really didn't murder Jon Arryn this time, you can't be innocent based on the you did before!" ”

Prince Oberon laughed, "Lord Eddard, do you really think of yourself as a moral model?" Believe me, since you are in this Game of Thrones, don't think about not getting blood on your body, otherwise, your blood will become a badge on someone else's armor! ”

"Take it away!" Duke Ed waved again.

The guards escorted Prince Oberon out of the room, and the man was still laughing all the way, not knowing whether he was smug or mocking.

Duke Ed sat down in his chair, rubbed his brows tiredly, seemed to remember something, and asked the attendant beside him:

"How is Petyr Berishi doing?"

"Master Paisher has already treated his wounds, so he shouldn't be in danger of life."

"Okay." Duke Ed nodded, and couldn't help but think back to Prince Oberon's accusations against Littlefinger.

Could it really be Jon Arryn, who was secretly murdered by this man?

But Jon Arryn is the man's lord! He also single-handedly promoted this person to the Imperial Council!

His wife also said that this person could be trusted.

But Lysa Tully ......

Duke Ed suddenly felt a pang of nausea, and finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and ordered his attendant:

"Go and put Petyr in the Black Prison too!"

"Yes, sir."

After the attendants left, Duke Ed looked out the window alone at the darkening sky, stunned.

It wasn't until the butler came to remind him that it was time for dinner that Duke Ed came to his senses, and left the study and went to the dining room.

"Father."

"Sir."

Duke Ed nodded in greeting, only to find that only the eldest daughter Sansa and Sister Mordan were at the table: "What about Arya?" ”

"Let's go out and play." Sansa said, "I haven't seen her today. ”

Sister Modan complained, "My lord, Miss Arya has been catching cats in the castle lately, drilling around, and making herself dirty, where is this what a noble lady should do, you should take care of her." ”

Duke Eddard's brows furrowed even tighter, and at this moment, Arya's voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Father!"

Duke Ed turned around and saw his little daughter in a mess, and he was immediately angry, but when he saw that there was someone behind his daughter, he suppressed his anger and said:

"How did you do this? Go change your clothes and come to dinner. ”

"Oh." Arya stuck out her tongue and ran away.

Duke Ed looked at Samwell and smiled, "Thank you for sending Arya back." ”

"It's my pleasure." Samwell leaned down slightly and then prepared to leave.

"Baron Caesar." Duke Ed suddenly stopped him, "If you don't mind, you can stay and dine together." ”

Samwell looked at the hand of the king, whose face was full of exhaustion and trouble, and smiled:

"Okay."

Samwell greeted Sansa and the nun, and then sat down at the long table.

Servants served dinner with venison with mushrooms, charcoal-grilled leg of lamb, carrot pie, vegetable salad and a creamy onion soup.

Once Arya had changed and sat down at the long table, Duke Ed announced that dinner had begun.

Arya spoke with great interest about her cat-catching adventure today, and also mentioned the secret passage and the two mysterious people she had met, but the conversation of the mysterious people she relayed was too garbled to attract the attention of the already absent-minded Hand of the King.

After a slightly dull dinner, Duke Ed beckoned Samwell to the balcony.

By this time it was already dark, a crescent moon hung in the treetops, and the starlight was sparse and dim.

"Baron Caesar, I heard that you went to see Duke Lanli today?" As soon as Duke Ed spoke, perhaps thinking that his tone was too stiff, he added, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to ask. ”

Samwell smiled and said calmly, "Yes, Lord Eddard, I went to meet Lord Lanli today, but what we talked about ...... Please forgive me for not being able to tell you, as this involves the privacy of several other nobles. But I can assure you that we will never do anything that jeopardizes the stability of the kingdom. ”

Duke Ed looked seriously into Samwell's eyes, his thoughts were rolling, and he didn't know whether to trust the young baron in front of him.

But now, he really didn't have anyone to trust.

And he and his men were surrounded by eyes and ears. He had to find someone who didn't have much to do with him to help.

King's Landing is full of lies, and the people who live here are all lies, and Lord Ed has resolved not to trust anyone here anymore.

A baron from another place should not have been polluted by the environment here. He thought to himself.

Moreover, this man had given himself a good suggestion, and repeatedly showed kindness to the Stark family......

Duke Ed felt that he should give it a try.

He didn't believe that the gods could be so cruel and repeatedly let him down.

"Baron Caesar." Duke Ed's face was extremely serious, "You are King Robert's champion knight, and he personally bestowed you with the garland laurel and this honor, do you know how to repay the king's grace?" ”

Samwell seemed to realize something, and quickly restrained his smile, clasped his right hand lightly in front of his chest, and said solemnly:

"I will repay this grace with unparalleled loyalty!"

"Good!" Duke Ed finally smiled, "Now I'm going to give you a secret mission, which is about the honor of the king and the rise or fall of the country, but it is also full of dangers, are you willing to accept it?" ”

Samwell had already guessed what Duke Eddard's so-called secret mission was, and he couldn't help but sigh to himself, the hand of this king was really sick and rushed to the hospital, and he actually found his head.

"Of course I do!" Samwell was like an impassioned lad at this time, "It is my duty and honor to serve the king!" ”

"Good." Duke Ed patted Samwell's arm, then lowered his voice and said, "Everything I told you today, you must keep it a secret, you can't tell anyone, you know?" ”

"Yes, sir."

Duke Ed paused for a moment, then said, "I suspect that what happened to the king at the jousting meeting was not an accident, but a murder!" ”

Samwell put on a shocked and angry expression, as if he had heard it for the first time.

Duke Ed recounted his suspicions, and of course, Samwell knew about them.

And he dared to pack the ticket, these doubts should have been revealed to the king by Petyr Berish, "Littlefinger", in order to detonate the lion and wolf dispute.

Samwell feigned horror and took a long time to digest the news, and then said:

"So, you suspect it's the queen......"

"Yes." Duke Ed said in a deep voice, "The queen cheated on her younger brother and murdered the king for fear that the matter would be exposed, and I don't have any evidence for this matter now, so I need you to help me investigate secretly." ”

"Of course I'm willing to serve you, but I'm worried that I won't be able to find ......"

"You don't need to be stressed." Duke Ed reassured, "I will continue to investigate myself." It's just that my goal is too obvious, and some people don't dare to tell me the truth, so I need another person, someone they won't notice, to help me, so that we can find out the truth with a clear and dark one. ”

I know the truth. Samwell sighed secretly, but he didn't dare to hand over this truth to the king in front of him.

This person is too honest and honest, and he pays too much attention to the so-called glory.

If he really wanted to hand over the truth to him, Samwell didn't dare to predict how the plot would evolve below, maybe the situation would completely collapse and the Seven Kingdoms would be in chaos.

That's not what Samwell wants.

It is better to keep the queen's secret in her own hands.

"Okay, my lord, I'll do my best to investigate."

"If there's any progress, come to me directly."

"Okay."

Duke Ed sent Samwell to the door, and when he saw that the other party was about to leave, he remembered the advice that this person had given him before, and suddenly spoke:

"Sam, do you have any advice for the current situation in King's Landing?"

"This ......," Samwell scratched his head, "I'm just a little baron, and I'm not qualified to give you advice on matters of state." ”

"Don't be modest, just say it." Duke Ed sighed, his face hard to hide his exhaustion, "I need advice now. ”

Samwell thought for a moment and said:

"My father gave me a piece of advice before I went to war, and now allow me to give it to you."

"What advice?"

I am a pioneer. Samwell said to himself.

But when the words came to his lips, they became: "At a time, only one enemy is faced." ”

With that, Samwell bowed again, then turned to leave.

Leaving Duke Ed in place, he stood for a long time, silent.
