Cersei·Lannister just snorted coldly.
Tyrion·Lannister grinned. "The last question."
His tone was very calm. "How did you kill Robert I?"
Queen Regent Cersei sneered, her voice sounded like she was showing off, "He asked for it, we just sent him on his way early. When Lancel saw that Robert was chasing the wild boar, she gave him Strongwine. Then I arranged the wine, which was three times stronger than usual, and it quickly became the drinker's favorite. In fact, he could stop drinking at any time as long as he wanted to, but he drank one bag and asked Lancel to get another bag... The wild boar did the rest for us."
Her voice became cheerful. "Tyrion, you really should have been there at that dinner. I have never eaten such delicious wild boar in my life. It tastes like victory in my mouth."
Tyrion:"..."
It's pretty much what he guessed... Tyrion actually likes the gruff Robert·Baratheon, partly because he can always make his arrogant sister feel embarrassed.
He shrugged. "Dear sister, you are really born to be a widow."
Without waiting for Cersei's reaction, he said with a playful smile, "I'll take my leave first."
Queen Regent Cersei frowned and said, "You are not allowed to leave, I want to know your next plan."
Tyrion spread his hands and said, "Sister Queen Mother, I have just taken office. Strategies are like fruits, they need time to mature before they mature."
Tyrion turned around and took steps forward. As he walked, he lifted Right Hand and shook it back.
King's Landing, Iron Gate, Guard Captain's Hall.
Gryn·Crabb put down the letter in his hand and rubbed his dark hair.
Davos·Seaworth's reply... In the letter, he politely declined the invitation for one of his sons to serve as the commander of Crabb Fleet.
The time when the invitation letter was sent... At that time, Eddard·Stark was still serving as Hand of the King.
The interval is more than a month.
Gryn picked up the letter and looked at it again. One-fifth of the letter was a humble rejection, and the remaining part was in praise of Lord Stannis's wisdom.
Gryn tapped the table with his slender fingers. The time when he received the reply and the content of the reply were very clever.
Stannis will soon claim to be the king of Seven Kingdoms. This letter is a test by the Stannis forces. They value Crackclaw Point's soldiers and horses, and he may be one of their key targets.
I have to say...Stannis forces' "diplomatic" methods are very crude, or rather arrogant.
Gryn placed the letter on the table again.
Red Priestess...Gryn Right Hand moved his thumb against his index finger.
Dong-dong-dong, there was a knock on the door, the door was pushed open, and Geoffrey walked in.
"Sir, the information just came in, Tyrion·Lannister temporarily takes over the position of Hand of the King, Duke Tywin·Lannister."
Is Tyrion still appointed as the temporary Hand of the King? In the next period of time, dealing with him will be inevitable... Gryn recalled the personality in front of Tyrion... Well... it's not very important. From now on, it will mainly be a naked exchange of interests.
It seems that after Amparo's knight canonization ceremony is over, he can start heading north... Gryn's eyes suddenly moved, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
A short figure climbed in quietly from the window.
Geoffrey Vigilance looked over, but quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at Gryn. He shrugged helplessly.
Gryn coughed slightly and said, "Please step back first."
Arya·Stark approached quietly like a kitten, her big eyes full of excitement.
Getting closer and closer, Arya tried hard to pull down the corners of his mouth to make himself "look" calm.
I'm going to...Arya was about to cheer, but before she could speak, Gryn's big hand suddenly appeared above her head.
Gryn smiled and rubbed Arya's fluffy hair and said, "Good day, Miss Arya."
Arya's eyes opened wide, and she was very dissatisfied. "Lord Gryn, how did you find me again?!"
Her little face puffed up. "As fast as a deer, as still as a shadow, as fast as a snake, as still as water, as strong as a bear, as fierce as a wolf...Syrio taught me to do it all!"
Gryn smiled, "The sound of your breathing."
Arya's little face wrinkled into a ball, and he said angrily, "It must be because I was too happy, so my breathing suddenly became messy."
"Have you been learning sneak attacks recently?"
Arya shook his head. "No, Syrio has been teaching me how to stab the sword quickly recently."
Gryn raised his eyebrows. "Syrio Your Excellency is a good teacher, but he is also a good opponent. You can try to sneak attack him."
Arya shook his head again. "Lord Gryn, although you are my good friend, you are my opponent."
Gryn asked doubtfully, "Opponent?"
Arya had a sad look on his little face, but the next moment it turned into an excited look.
"Syrio told me that as long as I defeat you, I can protect anyone I want to protect. I want to protect my father!"
Gryn reached out and patted Arya's little head... The weak and unconscious Duke Ned frightened the little girl, and her Wolf Blood made her braver.
Gryn stood up, looked down at the short Arya, and solemnly said, "Arya the Warrior, I will wait for you."
Arya raised her head, looked at Gryn with her big eyes, and nodded heavily.
Arya hugged Gryn's thigh and said, "We are going to say goodbye tonight. I'm so sad."
Gryn showed a smile, "I will visit you soon. Duke Ned and I have made an appointment to go hunting with Wolfswood."
The little girl's happiness is always simple. "Really? That's great! I'll take you to play when the time comes!"
Gryn smiled and nodded, "Okay."
"I'm going to find Syrio!"
After saying that, Arya jumped away, but quickly turned back.
"Hey, I forgot something important. My father said he has something to do with you."
"..."
In the room, Lord Eddard and Jon·Snow were sitting face to face, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy.
Gryn pushed the door open and a smile appeared on Lord Eddard's tired face.
Gryn first saluted Lord Eddard, then stretched out his hand to stop Jon who was about to get up.
He patted Jon and said, "Your leg has finally recovered."
On the day Joffrey tried Lord Eddard, Jon, who learned the news, wanted to sneak out and rescue his father alone.
Jon's leg injury has not yet healed. He was limping and about to sneak away, but he was discovered by Crabb Blue Cloaks.
Jon was very stubborn, Pell·Pili had no choice but to imprison him, and he was not released until Lord Eddard successfully rescued him.
Jon said with some embarrassment, "Sir, I..."
He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Gryn waved his hand and said, "You are eager to save people, we all know it."
Gryn's brown eyes looked at Lord Eddard: "Duke Ned, Arya told me you were looking for me?"
Lord Eddard tapped his chin, was silent for a while, and looked at Gryn and Jon.
He sighed and said slowly, "I'm about to leave. I want to tell Jon's life experience before I leave..."
As he said that, those gray eyes looked at Gryn and continued, "Jon will become your attendant. I think this matter cannot be hidden from you."
Jon couldn't hide his excitement. He stared at Lord Eddard for a moment; Gryn nodded with a heavy face.
Lord Eddard After this ordeal, he has become greatly awakened, or awakened.
Lord Eddard's face showed a trace of bitterness... Self-righteous concealment often hurts innocent people.
"Jon, I am not your father, you are the child of my sister...Lyanna·Stark."
Jon was shocked. He heard an answer that he could not have imagined in his dreams.
He murmured, "How is it possible..."
Lord Eddard didn't understand what step by step meant, so he continued, "Your father is Rhaegar·Targaryen."
Lord Eddard's voice fell, as if the air had solidified.
After a long time, Gryn's voice broke the silence. "False Spring?"
Lord Eddard nodded his chin slightly with a sad expression.
Gryn sighed softly and said, "No wonder you keep hiding it..."
Gryn Lord has entered the scene...Lord Eddard sacrificed the honor he regarded as his life in order to protect his sister's child.
"I've actually always been curious about how you could have an illegitimate child with your character. It turns out you did it to protect Jon."
Lord Eddard's big hand patted Jon, whose eyes were red, and said, "Lyanna loves you very much."
The sister lying on the blood bed whispered to him: Ned... promise me...
Lord Eddard lowered her eyes and looked at her palm... When she heard that he agreed to the request, the fear in Lyanna's eyes disappeared. She smiled and held his hand tightly with her fingers until she died.
Lord Eddard hid his inner sadness and said, "She likes flowers very much, and Winter Rose is her favorite."
Jon turned his head away and wiped the unstoppable tears with the back of his hand.
Jon's eyes were red and swollen, and his voice was firm. "Sir Stark, I don't want to go to Crackclaw Point, I want to leave Westeros."
"Jon..."
"I want to go out for a walk."
"You are still young..."
Jon once again interrupted Lord Eddard's advice, "No, I have grown up, and I am not impulsive."
Gryn looked at House Stark's stubbornness in silence, and he could tell that Jon had made up his mind.
Seeing that the two people stopped talking, Gryn looked at Jon: "Jon, you don't have to worry about hurting others, Crackclaw Point is enough to protect you..."
Lord Eddard stretched out his hand to stop Gryn's words. Gryn spread his hands and did not speak again.
Lord Eddard nodded slightly towards Gryn, then looked at Jon who had a firm look on his face, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes. "Jon, I believe you have grown up, and I will respect your choice."
Jon lowered his face, his breathing was a little uneven, and he seemed to be trying to control his emotions. "Thank you."
Lord Eddard patted Jon on the shoulder, and he smiled with relief.
"My child, Winterfell will always be your home."
At night, on a hidden coast of King's Landing, Gryn was saying goodbye to Stark's family.
Arya, who was standing next to Lord Eddard Left Hand, spoke first, "Lord Gryn, I will miss you."
Gryn said gently and authentically, "Arya, I will miss you too."
"Don't forget our agreement!"
"Well, I won't forget it."
Sansa, who was standing next to Lord Eddard Right Hand, performed a very beautiful lady's ceremony with her double-handled skirt.
"Lord Gryn, I'm sorry, I misunderstood your kindness."
Gryn shook his head slightly. "Miss Sansa, you are very strong, I am happy for you."
Sansa's smile is very sweet, "Gryn Knight, I will always remember your kindness."
Joffrey's deception seemed to make the innocent little girl suddenly grow up, but the soft-spoken Sansa with a sweet smile... the Sansa who loved beautiful clothes, moving songs, heroic deeds and handsome knights... she did not disappear completely.
Gryn smiled and nodded.
Lord Eddard patted Gryn and said, "Thank you, child."
Gryn smiled and said, "Ned Duke, Crabb Remembers."
A smile appeared on Lord Eddard's serious face, and he handed the recovered Ice giant sword to Gryn: "Take it, child, the friendship between Stark and Crabb will last forever."
Gryn stretched out his hands and solemnly took the Ice giant sword from Lord Eddard's hand.
"Duke Ned, the friendship between Crabb and Stark will last forever."
"Winter is Coming."
"Together We Stand."
It was calm tonight. After Lord Eddard and his party left the coast in a small boat, they approached the sea ship "Black Pearl" that was waiting for them.
Black Pearl will send them directly to White Harbor at the North.
On the deck of Black Pearl, Steward Russell saluted. "Good night, Lord Lord Stark, I am Steward Russell of Crabb Trading Company. This time I will escort you in the name of purchasing leather. Russell is at your disposal."
"It's time to work."
Arya's voice was a little excited. "Father, this boat is so big, can I fish?"
Lord Eddard smiled helplessly and said, "Of course, but you must pay attention to safety."
Syrio·Forel straightened his clothes, grinned and said, "Girl, fishing is also part of the sword skills course."
Arya made a face and ran away. Syrio followed helplessly.
"Stark-sama?"
Lord Eddard turned around and looked in the direction of the sound. He said in surprise, "Gendry?"
Lord Eddard strode over and after confirming that it was Robert's child, his surprise suddenly turned into surprise.
"Child, why are you here?"
The sturdy Gendry·Waters scratched his head shyly in the face of Lord Eddard's concern.
"King's Landing's guards suddenly wanted to arrest me. Master Gryn helped me escape from capture... He said Lannister wanted to kill me and asked me to follow you and leave King's Landing."
Lord Eddard's big hand patted Gendry's strong shoulder. "My child, I will take care of you."
Gendry hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, with all due respect, can you tell me... the reason why you are so nice to me?"
