Chapter 0414: Angry Eddard Stark
"The truth is, you're either going to eat and sleep well, or I'm going to throw you out. Jon said lightly.
"I am a knight under Lord Luce Bolton. The knight sneered, accentuating his tone.
"I don't care who you used to be, now you're just one of my soldiers!" Jon said softly, "If you want to settle accounts with me, I'll accept your challenge at any time when this war is over." Sir, show your chivalry, and don't disgrace Lord Luce Bolton when you fight!"
*
Ten days later, Luce Burton's vanguard legion crossed King's Landing and passed by the Blackwater River into the Royal Forest.
Upon entering the Kingswoods, a King's Avenue splits in two, a Storm Avenue leads directly to the Castle of Breath, and a Rose Avenue runs through the Tyrells' Riverlands, connecting the Tyrells' realms.
Despite his doubts, Luce Bolton complied with the order and did not enter King's Landing.
Behind his legion, Robb and Will sent another Overseer Legion, led by Maggie Mormont who wielded the Tomahawk, to oversee the progress and direction of Luce Burton's legion.
Robb and Will led the army as the rear army, slowly moving behind.
*
With the Great War imminent, King's Landing was overcrowded with armies in the Vale, the Riverlands, the West, and the Crown. In the evening, the girls' dens of all grades were crowded with knights and soldiers, and the business of the girls' dens was unprecedentedly hot, and the business of hotels and restaurants was twice as good as usual.
As the army gathered, so did the beggars in King's Landing, begging along the streets, wearing sackcloth robes barefoot, and their shadows were everywhere. At night, they concentrate on the flea nest, and the number of people accumulates more and more, and the ragged flea nest streets are full of their people.
The price of all kinds of food is rising every day, in the morning it is still a small steamed bun with two coppers, in the afternoon it rises to five coppers, and the next day it is ten coppers.
Every time a great war comes, King's Landing is overcrowded. The civilians considered it their only way to escape the war in King's Landing. King's Landing isn't far from the borders of the Riverlands. People can enter the realm of the king's realm in one day if they wish.
*
King's Landing on the Red Keep, Meg House, the bedroom of the former King Robert.
Eddard Stark noticed that two fireplaces had been sealed, and that the bedroom would be cold in the winter. Ed knew that Robert's favorite fireplaces were the two fireplaces that provided warmth.
Ed was back in Robert's bedroom, but his close friend Robert was gone.
Whoever lived here in Robert's place was Robert's least favorite person: Stannis Baratheon.
In one corner of the bedroom, a triangular iron frame was placed, on which was placed a brazier with a charcoal fire burning. Melisandre, the king's most trusted fire shaman, was the most attractive woman Ed had ever met. She was tall and tall, dressed in a red robe, her heart-shaped face was so tender that it was dripping, and her full breasts held the red robe high.
She was staring at the flames.
Stannis waited patiently for her to see the results of the flames.
This disgusted Eddard Stark.
Stannis did not arrive at the meeting of important ministers in the throne hall today, and Eddard Stark presided over the military meeting before the war, which made Eddard Stark very angry.
How stupid must a king be to not come to a military council before a great war, and to be obsessed with a sorcerer's prophecy of fire?
Ed also believed in prophecies, such as Will's prophecy. But no matter what the prophecy is, it is inseparable from the actions of people. Will is the Chosen One, the Child of Prophecy, but he also has to hold military meetings and personally lead troops to the front line of war, rather than leave it alone.
If it was the first king Robert, he liked to hold military meetings the most, and as long as there was a war, Robert would go all out. He believed that the hammer in his hand trumped his trust in the monk.
Eddard Stark had to wait patiently for Melisandre's fire prophecy.
This made Ed feel very unhappy.
From the moment he entered the Red Keep, Ed was very unhappy.
His favorite sacred forest was gone, and the sacred forest next to the Prime Minister's Tower had been cut down by Melisandre, leaving no shadow or thought behind, and a red god square had risen in its place. In the middle of the square stood a statue of a god that Eddard Stark had never heard of or seen: the Red God, Rahlo, the Lord of Light and the God of Shadows.
This made Eddard Stark feel sad and uncomfortable.
Behind the Meg Tower, a huge Red God Temple was built at an astonishing speed, and in order to build the Red God Temple with momentum, Melisandre demolished the previous Seven Sacred Halls, and was not satisfied, and demolished the Virgin Residence.
With the loss of the Virgin Residence and the Red Fort of the Seven Sacred Churches, the whole atmosphere has changed. This change is not only from the architecture, but also from the change in people's mood.
In the Red Keep, in King's Landing, nine out of ten people believed in the Seven Gods. Now, however, the Seven Sacred Churches in the Red Keep have been demolished by the Red Witch, who is favored by the king.
Ed noticed that there was a strange eerie look on the faces of the people in the Red Keep, everyone maintained a superficial awe of the Red Temple, and many people had abandoned the belief in the Seven Gods in favor of the false belief in the Red God.
A big reason for this is that the courtiers, noble knights, ladies and ladies who believe in the red god can be appreciated and favored by the royal family, including the queen. It is a shortcut for those who want to seek official positions and power.
Eddard Stark had a hard time imagining how Will had spent all his time impersonating him with Stannis and Melisandre. If it were him, he would do his best to stop Melisandre from demolishing the Seven Sacred Churches.
Because this is a great disservice to the people who believe in the Seven Gods.
This damage is irreparable.
It is shameful for the noble knights who abandon their faith in favor of the Red God in order to gain official positions and power, and these people have no sense of honor and must not be trusted.
As the eternal Hand of the King, Eddard Stark felt compelled to correct Stannis I's bad decisions, and had a duty to remind him that King's Landing, and indeed the six kingdoms except the North, were the Seven Gods of Faith, not the Red Gods.
The king does not respect the faith of the vast majority of the people and forcibly enforces the faith of the Red God, which is a great danger, he can easily lose the hearts and minds of the people, lose support, and if the Red Witch Melisandre makes a mistake one day, the people who are hurt will make Stannis receive the reward for the harm.
"Your Majesty!" Ed finally spoke.
Stannis I stared at Melisandre's face and held out a hand to stop Eddard Stark: "Please wait a minute, Prime Minister. ”
Melisandre smiled at Eddard, and she smiled very. Sex. Feeling and fascinating. She grabbed a little powder from her bosom and gently sprinkled it into the flames: "Prime Minister, come and see, there is truth in the flames. ”
