Chapter 0148: Iron Throne: King's Landing Chaos

Seven days later.

Will arrives in King's Landing alone.

He and Robb Stark separated after crossing Harrenhal in the Riverlands. As he was about to enter the King's Lands, he took the first step and entered King's Landing as the Night's Watch Recruiter.

Will arrives at the Red Keep, the center of power of the Seven Kingdoms, with the Night's Watch Recruiter credentials. Borrowed to stay in the garrison barracks.

Will didn't go directly to Eddard Stark, he went to court the next day to tell the Prime Minister and important ministers about the strange things, and to find out how the adults reacted.

The outer walls of the Red Castle and the inner walls of the Maigar Tower, where the king and queen lived in the Red Castle, are all made of reddish-brown stone, hence the name Red Castle.

The Meg Tower is located at the very center of the Red Fort, and all the buildings in the Red Fort, the roads, and the directions of the gates of the other six giant towers are built around the most central point of the Red Castle.

In front of the right side of the Mege Tower, there is the famous throne hall of the Seven Kingdoms, which is the place where the king, the prime minister and the important ministers of the court and the central government hold meetings to deal with the affairs of the Seven Kingdoms.

The throne hall sits north and faces south.

The gate faces south, so it is convenient for the king to come out from the north gate of the Megar Tower, and enter directly from the south gate without any detours.

Whether it is the Prime Minister's Tower, the Throne Hall, the Sacred Wood Forest, the White Sword Tower where the Imperial Forest Guards live, or the virgin residence behind the Mege Tower, the Holy Hall, all the gate roads are built around the Mege Tower.

Everything was based on the convenience of the king who lived in the Megar Building.

As the Prime Minister's Tournament approaches, Prime Minister Eddard Stark's daily routine increases. The affairs of the Seven Kingdoms, from disputes between lords and swords, to quarrels between neighbors, fights and brawls, as long as the people asked to see them, the prime minister had to sit on the Iron Throne, patiently listen to the demands of the visitors, and then make a ruling.

Undoubtedly, these tedious tasks did not suit Robert Baratheon, who was really suited to fighting on horseback.

Now, Eddard Stark sits on the high Iron Throne, with a high, narrow window behind him, and a bright light shines through the window, just right on the Iron Throne.

The Iron Throne is a chair full of hideous spikes, sharp horns, and eeriely twisted metal.

Aegon the Conqueror ordered his blacksmiths to use a thousand swords forged from the enemy's surrender, and borrowed Aegon's mount, the Flame of the Dragon Black Death, to heat and melt it.

It took the blacksmiths who specialize in crafting weapons fifty-nine days before and after the chair was banged, and the final result was what it is now a hunchbacked black monster with razor-sharp edges, barbs and tangled knots.

Ned's fingers touched the cold metal. Between each of his fingers was a blade, the tip of a curved sword that stretched out like a claw from the armrest of the throne.

Three hundred years later, some of the blades of the Iron Throne are still sharp, and if you are not careful, you will be cut through the skin by spikes and blades.

Legend has it that this chair has killed people, and when Ed sat on the Iron Throne on his first day, he believed the legend.

At the foot of the staircase of the Iron Throne stood two Kingsguards, who had sworn to protect the King and the royal family, and now, at the King's orders, the two Kingsguards had sworn to protect their Prime Minister.

On the left side below, a huge table was placed, because more and more people came to appeal every day, and the political affairs were busy, and all the important ministers had to come to the court every day to help the prime minister face too many complicated political affairs......

In the throne hall, except for the prime minister, who has the iron throne, the important ministers who have the table, and the royal family who have seats, everyone else has to stand or kneel respectfully. Those who had come to petition but had not yet been approved for admission gathered outside the gates of the throne room.

Knights, nobles, and ladies stood under the tapestries on both sides of the hall, while commoners who had been approved to enter the hall to petition waited in the corridors for summons.

Inside and outside the hall, heavily armed guards stood majestically in golden cloaks on their shoulders.

Ed's eyes swept the audience habitually, and he was slightly stunned, and he saw a man in black standing under the tapestry on the right wall, among the nobles and ladies. His expression was calm, and his eyes were as bright as the stars. Among the knights and ladies, she is as distinctive as a black sword.

Will the Night's Watch!

The Night's Watch who had successfully prophesied the southward journey of Brangotta and the Stag Mercy Three Wolves, the Chosen One that Caitlyn believed in.

Will's gaze was one of Eddard Stark's, calm and indifferent. Ed's gaze slid away.

After Ed's gaze swept across the audience, he made a gesture to signal the start of today's government affairs.

A woman cried to the Prime Minister that her daughter, who was only 12 years old, had disappeared last night and was found dead this morning by a pool in the street, unclothed and with multiple wounds. "She was raped to death last night, Prime Minister. She was crying and almost fainted.

Ed ordered the capital garrison to solve the case within two days, and promised to pay for her daughter's funeral expenses for the poor woman.

Then there was the owner of a hotel, who had been smashed by several drunken mercenaries and set fire to his hotel the previous night and killed his son and wife, and himself was wounded, and he showed the prime minister and the court officials a knife wound on his arm and a penetrating wound on his leg.

Ed promised him that he would catch the mercenaries as soon as possible and hang them, and then he was given three golden dragons to arrange the rest of the matter, and promised to send workers to help him rebuild the ruined house.

The next things were almost all security cases in the city, robberies, killings on the street, qiang women, and thefts, which made Ed frown.

"How so? Ed asked.

The head of the dynasty's intelligence, the bald eunuch Varys, stood up from the table, with the usual frightened expression on his face, and the strange voice of neither woman nor man stuck to his throat like glutinous rice made people extremely uncomfortable: "Prime Minister, I came to the court this morning, and I passed through the Shadow Alley, and there were two corpses at the entrance of the alley, and it seemed that two drunken wandering mercenaries had died together. I swear that from tonight onwards, I will only stay in the Red Fort for the night, and will not go anywhere. ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer—Petyr Berish, the little finger of the elaborate gown with a straight waist—smiled confidently as usual, and the silver faux bird crest on his chest shone brightly: "Your Excellency, the jousting tournament is coming, and for every knight in King's Landing, there will be three more free riders, two attendants, three mercenaries, a thief, and two maidens. When the lords and noble knights of the Seven Kingdoms all gather in King's Landing, it will be a huge number, and the capital garrison and reserves have all been sent out to maintain law and order, but obviously there are not enough manpower. ”

Varys said, "Prime Minister, lords and lords, knights and knights, fighting for hotels and hotels. Many people don't pay attention to the capital garrison at all, and yesterday, when the courtiers of the Lannisters of the Westside entered the city, Sir Gregor Clegan threw the owner of a hotel from three floors to the upper floor across the street, but fortunately no one was killed, my lord. Some lords can be a little more restrained, but the knights and mercenaries under their command are not very good. ”

Eddard Stark felt a headache, and the king and his brother, Duke Lanley, had gone hunting, and were now having fun with his courtiers and guards in the forest.

Ed said, "Garrison Commander Genos Slint. ”

Will saw a stocky man emerge from the courtiers' ranks, with a double chin, a bald head, a frog face, and a body shaped like a small barrel.
