Another king's order was issued Red Keep, which caused everyone to exclaim, Jaime·Lannister was actually appointed Warden of the East.
Theoretically speaking, Warden of the East is the highest military officer responsible for the defense of the eastern coastal areas of Vale, Crownlands, and Stormlands (lower than Warden of the Realm).
According to tradition, the title Warden of the East belongs to the hereditary title of Vale House Arryn, but after the death of Jon·Arryn, King Robert appointed Jaime to succeed Warden of the East.
First there are the new Hand of the King and Tournament, and then there is the new Warden of the East. Today is destined to be a day that continues to surprise people.
Robert King's appointment seems quite ruthless and surprising.
Is this really the Westeros style of walking away with tea?
Gryn denies this possibility. Although Robert doesn't like running a country, he knows how to balance the forces of all parties to consolidate Iron Throne's rule.
At the same time, Robert's political methods have always been crude and completely neglected to comfort the injured.
To give the most typical example, Lord Stannis has regarded his brothers as enemies.
King Robert knows how to balance, but lacks political vision. Vale of Arryn is a staunch supporter of the Baratheon Dynasty, but now he is beaten in the face.
Traveler Gryn remembers that in the original plot, King Robert's move angered the Vale nobles. The angry Lysa·Tully asked the Vale nobles to call her son the real Warden of the East.
In Maegor's Holdfast, Gryn, who was going down the stairs, suddenly paused for a moment, and Princess Myrcella appeared in his mind.
Although Jaime is Kingsguard, most people think that Kingslayer Jaime will return to Westerlands sooner or later and inherit Casterly Rock.
When the time comes, will Jaime be allowed to serve as both Warden of the West and Warden of the East?
Robert·Arryn and Myrcella·Baratheon are close in age... So, the title Warden of the East, which was succeeded by House Arryn in the past generations, has become a princess dowry temporarily placed in the hands of "uncle" for safekeeping?!
Hmm... The Fat King still has some foresight.
This kind of operation felt very familiar to Gryn, and he immediately thought of the debts House Crabb had taken on in the name of aid after the Snatcher. It seemed to be a similar process.
When Gryn met Cersei Queen, she already knew that Jaime was appointed Warden of the East. For Cersei For Queen, if Jaime is Warden of the East, it means that she is Warden of the East.
Boss Cersei's happiness is so simple!
The matter entrusted by Petyr went very smoothly. Gryn didn't waste much words. Cersei just glanced at him sideways and agreed to the loan for Tournament.
Through Cersei Queen's eyes, Gryn seemed to hear her saying dotingly... I really can't do anything to you.
This... if he hadn't known about Cersei's secret arrangements for the group melee competition in Tournament, the innocent Lord Gryn would have been moved to death.
It should be said that Gryn came just in time. Cersei Queen can now more legitimately intervene in Tournament. Her patience with King Robert is running out.
Gryn stood at the door of Maegor's Holdfast, pinching his chin. He was considering whether to give Jaime a cloak with the words Warden of the East embroidered on it as a gift.
Gryn's ears moved, and he heard giggles coming from far away.
This was the voice of Prince Joffrey. Gryn looked in the direction of the voice.
Joffrey and Sandor·Clegane were walking towards Maegor's Holdfast talking and laughing.
Rumor has it that Sandor's cold humor can always make His Highness laugh.
Gryn made a move in his heart and took the initiative to meet him.
"Good day, Your Highness."
Joffrey looked at Gryn who was saluting and raised his chin. "Good day."
He looked at Gryn and said, "I heard that you knocked out Golden Rose's Knight of Flowers in one go?"
Gryn shrugged. "Yes, Your Highness, the rumors are very reliable."
Joffrey showed a suspicious look. "Lord Gryn, why are there still rumors that Knight of Flowers accidentally slipped and fell?"
Gryn:"Maybe you haven't had enough to eat?"
Sandor:"Delicate flowers tend to be shy."
Joffrey was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
Gryn raised his eyes and looked at Sandor, whose face was burned, and said, "The Hound?"
Most people call Sandor the Hound. One of the sources of this nickname is the three dog family emblem of House Clegane.
Sandor's ear was completely ablated, leaving only a hole. There were large twisted scars around his eyes. His gray eyes looked at Gryn and said, "Your Excellency Earl, you are not a delicate flower."
Gryn raised his eyebrows and said, "Sandor, your description is actually very appropriate Knight of Flowers."
Sandor deliberately looked around and said, "I heard that their family is very rich, I hope no one else heard."
Joffrey, who had just stopped laughing, was amused and giggled again.
Sandor glanced at Gryn with a gentle smile and said nothing. He might also be worried that he would cause problems for the noble prince.
After finishing laughing, Joffrey regained his expression with a hint of contempt and said, "Lord Gryn, do you know where Jaime is?"
Gryn spread his hands and said, "It seems that you also heard the news that Ser Jaime was appointed as Warden of the East. The appointment came too suddenly. I guess he is at White Sword Tower, worrying about future arrangements."
Joffrey asked doubtfully, "What are you worried about?"
Gryn explained patiently, "Warden of the East has always been Vale Arryn's hereditary title, maybe Vale will feel that Ser Jaime has taken away something that belongs to him. Ser Jaime will be responsible for the defense of the eastern coast in the future and cannot do without the support of the Vale nobles, so he has to find a way to appease him."
Joffrey said angrily, "Vale still dare to disobey my father's order? I will chop off their heads!"
Gryn comforted, "Your Highness, Hand Jon Arryn passed away not long ago, and Vale hasn't gotten used to it yet. After some time, they will realize that Duke Little Robert is not Lord Jon. Then they will have to obey orders obediently."
Joffrey said in a contemptuous tone, "If Vale dares to disobey, I will have Little Robert arrested here..."
He put Right Hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and continued, "If he can sincerely repent, I will give him a sword and give him a fair chance to compete with me."
Gryn blinked and digested Joffrey's contradictory words.
Oh... I mean I'll give you a beating even if you regret it.
It is indeed fair. The 12-year-old Joffrey is facing off against the 6-year-old sickly Little Robert. He is very good at choosing his opponent.
Gryn said respectfully, "Your Highness, your sword skills are outstanding. I don't think Duke Eyrie can even withstand your blow! The frightened Vale nobles will kneel at your feet and humbly ask for your forgiveness. Your reputation will Seven Kingdoms be spread throughout the world, and your heroic deeds will be passed down from generation to generation."
After listening to Gryn's words, Joffrey's breathing became obviously heavy and his face became flushed.
He couldn't wait to shout to Sandor, "My dog, I order you to catch Duke Eyrie immediately! Immediately!"
Oops! Did I push a little too hard?
Crabb and Vale are obviously at odds with each other. It is impossible to say good things for Vale against his will. That would be too hypocritical... Lord Gryn is an upright knight, he can't do it~!
Sandor glanced at Gryn and said calmly, "Prince, my waist has been weak recently and I can't travel far."
Joffrey kicked and cursed angrily, "Dog, how dare you disobey my order!"
Gryn is actually very moved, and even wants to take the initiative to ask for orders, but he knows that it is too childish now.
He advised, "Your Highness, I have to remind you that Vale has many loyal and House Arryn vassals. If there are not enough manpower, Sandor is likely to return empty-handed."
At this stage, Lord Gryn intends to plant nails in advance. This is just a small part of the foreplay of the power game.
5555555 Sorry, I'm almost done. I'll make up for it as soon as possible!
