Chapter 0548 - Jaime's Scheme: Give Will What He Wants!
Master Komon has always been in control of the external news and the issuance of orders, and the transmission of information from the outside world to the inside is also the first to be learned by Master Komon, because he is in charge of the ravens of Eagle's Nest City.
So who would it be that it wasn't Lysa Tully who ordered the massacre of Eddard Stark and his party?
It's either Jaime Lannister or Cersei Lannister. Do they really think that everything will be all right by hiding in the Eagle's Nest, but it is true that the Eagle's Nest has never been breached, except for the dragons of the Targaryen family.
"Will you be my man, gather information, and spy on Cersei and Comon's every move? Will's sword moved a little away from Marinerian's throat.
"I do. â
Marellian replied too quickly, too crisply.
This guy can't be trusted.
"Well, I believe you. Will keel the sword into the sheath, "I want you to tell me everything about the situation in Eagle's Nest about Maester Cormon and Cersei Lannister and Lysa, the situation of the guards, and how many of the nobles of the Vale live in Eagle's Nest City. â
"Yes, sir!"
When Will and Marellian reappeared at the door of the dining room, they were both surprised to see Lysa Tully curled up in Green's arms, sleeping peacefully with her eyes closed, while Green looked calm and patted Lyza's shoulder lightly with her hand, as if to lull the child to sleep.

Jaime gently lifted Cersei's smooth and sleek arm pressed against his chest and put it back beside Cersei, and he quietly slipped out of the bed and stood in front of the bed, looking at Cersei with a sleeping face. The brilliance on Cersei's face dimmed, the brilliance of her girlhood turned into the maturity and solemnity she is now, and the heaviness of life faded her softness and replaced it with the toughness of armor.
It was not yet dawn, but Jaime had to go back to his Bachelor's Tower.
He killed Maester Komon, took on the face of Maester Komon, bent on Rysa Tully, pandered to any evil tastes she had, made friends with the nobles of the Valley, skillfully used fiefs and rewards, and soon took control of the entire situation in Eagle's Nest City.
Maester Cormon's reputation for uprightness laid a good foundation for Jaime's actions. Those whom Maester Cummon opposed during his lifetime, Jaime was willing to accept them, and generously persuaded Lysa to give them what they wanted. For example, the first level of the Eagle's Nest City Mountain is the dangerous rock fort. Guarding the castle was a branch of the Royce family, and Jaime appeared as Comon, and effortlessly persuaded Lysa Tully to elevate Nestor Royce to the rank of Earl, and to give him the title of Nest Royce.
In return, Nest Royce was absolutely supportive of any proposal made by Maester Comon about the Vale.
The most powerful bronze Jon Royce in the valley, Jaime discussed with Cersei, and only promised to give Bronze Jon a fictitious future, so that Bronze Jon Royce could not refuse, and Bronze Jon Royce did not hesitate to stand on Cersei Lannister's side.
If a dog likes to eat, give him, if a cat likes to eat fish, give him fish, and if a bird likes to eat insects, give him worms.
Training in the Black and White Courtyard in Braavos on the other side of the Narrow Sea opened another window into Jaime Lannister's life, and one of his unwieldy generals learned to use his brain.
It was only after Jaime became a scholar of Cormon that he realized that a scholar was as important to a family and a kingdom as a patriarch and a king. In many ways, the role of the Bachelor was more than that of the Patriarch and the King. Because no matter how big or small, all the information in and out has to go through the hands of the bachelor. The good and bad information outside will first reach the hands of the scholars, and then the hands of the patriarchs and kings.
Jaime Lannister, who was trained in the Black and White Academy, opened a letter and then returned it without revealing any traces, as simple and natural as breathing, and in fact, the scholars of the rich five cars all have this kind of ability that is not a skill.
Heat the sealing wax on the candle through a layer of kraft paper for micro-heating, you can effortlessly use a knife to pick open the sealing wax, take out the letter inside, and then put it back after reading, slightly heat the sealing wax, press it slightly, and wait for it to cool down, and the sealing wax is as usual.
A maestro who is in charge of the family raven, the higher his knowledge, the more destructive and threatening he is. If a scholar has a different heart, the family and the kingdom will be invisibly controlled by him.

It wasn't dawn yet, but Jaime had to get back to the Bachelor's Tower.
His identity is that of Bachelor Komon.
A maester is with the Queen Mother, and spreading the word will completely ruin the reputation of Cersei and the Lannisters.
Jaime didn't care about the family's reputation, as long as he could stay with Cersei in the right way, it would be worth paying any price. But Cersei cares, and in addition to her desire to stay with Jaime, is to return to the Iron Throne and take back what belongs to her. Unable to convince Cersei to relinquish power, Jaime had to marry and form an alliance with the Lysa Tullys, and then maintain it in this way, waiting for good news from Kevon Lannister in the south.
Given by Jaime, Lysa Tully was given good supplements every day, including some special medicines, which made Lysa Tully's mental condition worse and worse, her nervousness became more and more serious, and her dependence on Marellian became more and more serious. Two months ago, Lysa Tully no longer sat on the throne of Arryn to handle the affairs of the Valley, and Maester Cummon commanded the Valley in the name of Lysa Tully, and casually gave the land wealth and titles of the Arryn family to the nobles who were looking forward to it, and soon he won the 'heart' of most nobles.
Jaime generously gave the greedy nobles what they wanted, the exact opposite of what the real Master Comont did.
*
Jaime put on the human skin face of Master Comon, got dressed and stood in front of the window, opened the window, and a cold air enveloped his body, and the cold breath made him feel very comfortable and refreshed.
However, a trace of blood also reached the tip of his nose.
Bloody gas?!
Jaime was immediately alert, and he rolled out of the window like a cat, and before the man landed, the narrow sword was already unsheathed.
In the snow under the window, there was a corpse, dressed in the clothes of a guard.
Jaime flipped the corpse on tiptoe, unwound, stabbed in the throat by a narrow sword.
Narrow sword?
Jaime's pupils shrank.
The people of the Black and White Courtyard came to Eagle's Nest City?
In King's Landing, he had met a high-ranking man from the Black and White Court, who was above him. He and the man exchanged words briefly, then parted ways. Jaime's heart jerked as the man mentioned Will's sword and thought that Will's sword was no match for Will.
Unless he can find a Valyrian steel sword.
The Lannisters had a Valyrian steel sword, but for some reason it was exiled overseas, and the Lannisters sent someone out to find it, but neither the man nor the sword has been heard from so far.
Jaime shadowed himself down the wall, he smelled the blood in another place, and in one corner he saw two entities of the guards stacked on top of each other, the wound still a narrow sword wound on the throat.
Kill with one hit!
This kind of swordsmanship can be done for the killers of the Black and White Academy.
Jaime quickly searched the front and back of the Griffon's Tower, but found no body.
Someone with narrow swordsmanship demonstrated that three of Cersei Lannister's night guards had killed her in the dark.
It was an extraordinary night, but he and Cersei were too exhausted to sleep to the past.
The other party was indeed a top master, and at night, Jaime arranged for thirty swordsmen to defend the various parts of the Griffon Tower, but three of them were killed without a sound.
This sent chills down Jaime's heart.
It is not difficult for the other party to kill the three guards, but the difficult thing is how to get up to Eagle's Nest City.
Under the Eagle's Nest City, there are three castles, and everyone who wants to go up the mountain must pass through the three castles and pass through the city to go up the mountain. It is simply impossible that he, as a Bachelor of Komon, did not receive any news from the mountain in advance.
The only explanation is that the man came from the sky.
Will can come from the sky because he has two griffins, and according to legend, the griffons have grown up.
The Eagle's Nest was founded on the summit of the Bright Moon Mountains by the ancestors of the Arryn family, because the people of the Arryn family owned griffins at that time. Griffons, a magical creature second only to dragons. The king of fierce birds in the sky and the lord of beasts on the earth are talking about the griffin.
Except for dragons, griffons are invincible.
It must have been Will coming.
Jaime didn't alarm the rest of the guards, and he quietly went back and stood in front of Cersei's bed.
"Cersei!"
Cersei was motionless, her eyes closed, but she was awake, and the howling of the cold wind blowing in from the open window alarmed her: "You go, Jaime, don't bother to say hello." â
Many times she left, Jaime hugged her and murmured, much to Cersei's annoyance!
"Someone is coming. Jaime said.
"Who?" Cersei was still in her own haze.
"You didn't listen to my advice and ordered Eddard Stark to be sniped, and now the avenger is here. â
Cersei jerked up from the bed, and Jaime stared at her beautiful breast, the place that had fascinated him all his life, and he couldn't help himself.
"Robb is here, how can he get to this Eagle's Nest?ââ he can't even break through the Blood Gate!" At the third sentence, Cersei was sober and realized that she had broken through Jaime's prank.
"It's not Robb, it's Will, the Wall watchman. â
Will?!
It's a name that Cersei will never forget.
Because of Will, she had taken a shower so many times, and she was disgusted with herself.
The guy posed as Eddard Stark and threw her into his arms, grabbed her and put her in a wooden box, causing her to be terrified and tormented. Will was one of the people she hated in the world, not one. Cersei's hatred for Will grows day by day.
Jaime's eyes were keen, and he saw the resentment that Cersei was trying to hide and her fear of Will.
Cersei hated Will, and at the same time feared Will.
Jaime is now so sharp-eyed that Cersei's expression can't escape his eyes.
"You're afraid of him?" said Jaime.
"Haha, I'm going to be afraid of him?" Cersei sneered, but Jaime saw that her chest was trembling slightly, she was indeed afraid of Will, and the natural reaction of her eyes and body could not be concealed, "How did he get to Eagle's Nest? He has been caught, hasn't he?" ordered to go down and put him in a prison, and I'm going to visit him after breakfast. â
"We didn't catch him. Jaime said lightly.
"What did you say?" Cersei grabbed her pillow, "Who can escape in the Eagle's Nest?
"He did fly away. "He has two griffins, and it is rumored that his two griffons have grown stronger than lions, and he comes from the sky and goes from the sky, and none of us can catch him." â
"So what are we going to do?" Cersei looked around in a panic, as if Will was hiding in the corner of the house.
"I will gather two hundred elites from the mountain to protect Eagle's Nest City and make sure nothing goes wrong. He can ride griffons to and fro, but he only has one man and a sword, and two griffons are coming, so we just have to hide in the castle. â
"Shoot him and his griffon with arrows. Cersei grabbed Jaime's arm, "We should have more men, at least a thousand archers." â
"Cersei, Eagle's Nest can hold up to five hundred people. Jaime reminded. He felt sad in his heart, Cersei's fear of Will was deep in her bones, indicating that she had suffered too much damage from Will, and this Will had to find a way to kill him.
*
"There's a way I can kill Will. Jaime's voice was calm, powerful, and dignified. He was reborn from his training in the Black and White Academy, possessing many unexpected killing skills and fearsome ingenuity.
"Then what are you doing standing here? Why don't you kill him. Cersei almost roared.
Jaime smiled wryly, "I want to catch up immediately, but I can't fly." â
"And what's your solution?" Cersei frantically jumped out of bed and walked around the carpet like a lost ant spinning around. She was undressed, but she forgot the cold wind blowing in from the open window.
Jaime closed the window and said lightly, "I can kill Will, but you have to listen to me this time." We can no longer go back to the old path of blood. Bloodgate incident, if you are willing to listen to me, after we lure Eddard Stark into Eagle's Nest City, and then capture him and put him in the prison, not only can you restrain the army in the north, but also can coerce the troops of the Riverland and the Great Wall of Desperation, and the world will be decided in a battle, but you are determined to go your own way, you must try to be happy for a while, and you can't do it again this time when you gave orders behind my back. â
Cersei acted as if she didn't know Jaime: "Jaime, you know what I really want to hear, don't keep teaching me a lesson with the Bloodgate, now is the time for you to protect me and the children, instead of standing in front of me and blaming me." Where were you when my children and I were suffering?"
Jaime was silent.
"Tell me, how do you kill Will?"
"Whatever Will wants most, we give him. â
"What is that?" Cersei's fierce eyes stared at Jaime.
"I got the news that Will is heading south with the ghoul prisoner cart, so what does he want to do? What is his purpose? Give him what he wants, and he will come. â
