The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Chapter 124 Big Fish Eats Small Fish

The next morning, Maegortar's squire delivered a handwritten letter from Cersei Lannister.

Green took the letter stamped with Queen Cersei's seal from the steward of Sulana with some confusion.

Queen Cersei gave Greene a new task. In the next period of time, he would be responsible for Prince Tommen's swordsmanship lessons and Princess Myrcella's equestrian lessons.

Cersei has a big plan, and she will not reveal the specific content to Green, but it does not prevent Green from staying in King's Landing for the right reasons.

At this time, Cersei believes that Green's ability and loyalty are relatively reliable, because Green also has other arrangements in her plan.

After lowering his head to read the content, Green rubbed his hair.

Green feels that there are actually many reasons why he is not necessarily allowed to take care of the boss's children.

No matter what he thinks, Green will happily accept it. He can teach the prince and princess part of their lessons. This not only reflects Queen Cersei's trust in Green, but also an honor.

Earl Green pinched his chin. It seemed that defeating the Knight of Flowers had some effect.

After the Knight of Flowers woke up, wouldn't he think that he was accidentally attacked by Green?

Loras and Green are the same age, and they are in their prime of life. Shouldn't they shout "I was accidentally plotted by you last time" and then challenge them again?

Lord Grimm really wants to use Loras to build his reputation again. If he has another chance, he will play a little more exciting and provide more materials for the bard.

"Martial, put on your armor for me!"

…………

Maegor's Tower Gardens.

Tommen is seven years old. He is a fat little boy with blond curly hair and green eyes.

"Earl Green, I heard that you defeated the Knight of Flowers?"

Tommen's hair shone like gold foil in the sun.

Green lowered his figure and said: "Your Highness Tommen, the sword skills of the Knight of Flowers are among the best among the Seven Kingdoms. Although I defeated him, I cannot deny his superb sword skills."

Green was very humble, and he listed the victories that the Knight of Flowers had won in various tournaments.

Although the Knight of Flowers was defeated by the more powerful Green, we will not deny his previous record.

Tommen's eyes lit up: "Earl Green, you are an upright and powerful knight."

Green waved away the attendant who was about to come forward, and helped Tommen put on the protective gear with his own hands.

Tommen, who has a gentle personality, is very excited today: "I like apple cake and cream cake best!"

After finishing speaking, the little fat man added: "I don't like beets."

Green's hands kept moving, and he couldn't help but smile when he looked at the chubby little prince.

After putting on the protective gear, Tommen looked even more rounded.

Green stood aside while Tommen began to do some basic movements. It didn't take long for the little fat man to start sweating.

"Your Highness Tommen, your sword skills are very smooth, you are awesome."

"Strong Knight Tommen, please face the challenge bravely. It won't take long for you to defeat the Knight of Flowers!"

Breathing heavily, Tommen's morale suddenly rose, and he waved the wooden blunt sword into the air again.

Seeing that it was almost done, Green stopped and handed the towel to Tommen who was covered in sweat.

Tommen was confused for a moment, then stretched out his chubby hand to take it, and wiped the sweat awkwardly.

Green smiled. Tommen looked much cuter than Joffrey, who always had a pout on his lips.

Tommen's voice was clear and childish: "Earl Green, can I become the champion of the tourney in the future?"

Green's smile was gentle: "Your Highness, your talent is outstanding, you can definitely do it."

The little fat man looked very excited after receiving Green's approval.

…………

Narrow Sea.

The petite Daenerys Targaryen stood on the bridge deck, with Dick and Borona behind her.

Daenerys stared expressionlessly at the battle below. She tightened her black cloak tightly, and the wide cloak covered her trembling body well.

Osana, leading the guards left behind by Green and the sailors on the ship, were fighting the pirates on another merchant ship.

While sailing south, Daenerys encountered a large merchant ship and a pirate ship fighting each other.

The kind-hearted Daenerys ordered the captain to bring their ship closer with the purpose of helping to fight off the pirates.

As they approached, the guards on the merchant ship were fighting with the pirates.

Daenerys's little face looked tired.

That night when he left, the excited Viserys talked to Dick all night, but he started to have a fever the next day.

Since her brother fell ill, Daenerys has been having nightmares every night. She only remembers that the dreams were scary, but she can't remember the specific scene when she wakes up.

After getting up this morning, the ship's doctor informed Viserys that his fever had finally begun to subside, and Daenerys, who had been worried about it, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Another one fell! Daenerys frowned slightly.

Although Daenerys doesn't understand military matters, she now knows that the Crab Claw Peninsula warriors given to her by Lord Greene are all rare elites.

Daenerys felt heartbroken when she saw several of the 20 guards in total fell down.

…………

After the battle, Osana came to report: "Princess Daenerys, this is a slave-trading merchant ship! When we passed by, all the slave traders on the ship had been killed by pirates."

Daenerys ignored the blood on Osana's body, stretched out her white hand, and said quickly: "Osana, are you injured?"

Osana shook her head, her smile was very simple: "Don't worry, this is other people's blood, those people can't hurt me!"

Daenerys still looked carefully and worriedly, and then she nodded her chin slightly.

Dick's eyes turned, and his voice was excited: "Princess Daenerys, their master is dead, strictly speaking, you are now their new master!"

Dick is the most educated person in Daenerys' team, and can also be said to be the only clerk. She was entrusted by Daenerys with the position of financial manager.

Daenerys shook her head, her tone was firm: "I don't need slaves, I want to give them freedom!"

After that, Daenerys led everyone to the direction of the merchant ship.

…………

The cabin door was pried open, and Daenerys walked slowly down the wooden ladder surrounded by guards.

What did Daenerys see? She saw shackles and countless pairs of empty eyes.

Daenerys, who had been wandering around the free trade gangs with her brother for many years, had seen slaves before, but this was her first time experiencing such a scene.

Daenerys was deeply shocked to see living people imprisoned in a small and dark space like animals.

Daenerys's petite figure walked among the lifeless crowd, and her eyes were slightly red.

Daenerys returned to the wooden ladder, raised her feet and climbed a few steps, then turned to face those empty eyes.

Daenerys wanted to tell Green, who was far away in Westeros, that she was easily nervous when facing many eyes, her body would tremble unconsciously, and she was still a little scared in her heart.

Daenerys took a breath slowly, she needed courage, at least now she had to learn to rely on herself!

Daenerys slowly raised her smooth chin and said in a loud voice: "I am the daughter of Aerys II, the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, the princess of Dragonstone, Daenerys Targaryen, born in the storm!"

"I am not a slave owner, I will not enslave you! I will also break the shackles, and when we dock at the next port, you will have the freedom to leave!"

"After leaving this sinful ship, your freedom belongs only to you. If you want freedom, each of you must fight for it yourself!"

After Daenerys's voice fell, the bed cabin fell into a long silence.

A beam of sunlight came in from the cabin and shone on Daenerys, covering her with a layer of golden light.

Countless pairs of empty eyes produced a slight fluctuation, as if they saw a goddess walking in the world.

One, two... clanging, the cabin was full of the sound of shackles colliding, and everyone knelt down devoutly in the direction of Daenerys.

Under the shade of the tree, Green leaned against the tree, watching Myrcella and Tommen playing in the garden from afar.

Green's ears moved, he heard light footsteps and smelled lemon-scented powder.

Varys, wearing a loose orange silk robe, came to Green with a smile.

Varys's eyes were on the distance, which was the direction where Myrcella and Tommen were playing.

Varys' tone seemed to be sighing: "The Red Castle is full of the ears of big shots. Sometimes this is the most relaxing place for people."

Your little bird is the most... Green nodded in agreement: "Lord Varys, whenever I enter the Red Castle, even if I am wearing armor, I feel like I am not wearing any clothes. I can always feel the prying eyes from time to time."

Varys smiled: "The Red Castle has always been full of darkness! Earl Green, you will get used to it sooner or later."

Green shrugged: "I think... I will never get used to it in this life. The longer I stay outside, the more I miss my hometown!"

Varys linked his hands: "You may be the only one who can resist the charm of power. This is really admirable."

Green smiled and said: "I am ashamed of your praise. I may just be unable to adapt! Every day here must be cautious. As long as A little longer time can easily make people tired. "

Varys nodded slightly, speaking with a small tone: "Storms come and go, huge waves wash over, big fish eat small fish, this is the center of the Seven Kingdoms."

Green smiled, admiring: "Lord Varys, it's a vivid metaphor. It seems that those who can sit well are all people with excellent paddling skills."

Varys covered his mouth and laughed for a while, and suddenly said: "Earl Green, have you also received news from Pentos?"

Green nodded heavily and said: "The Craber Company in Pentos sent the news as soon as possible. I heard that it was a fire... It's very regrettable. Although I don't have much contact, I know that Governor Illyrio is a very upright gentleman."

Varys looked sad: "I didn't expect my old friend to be in trouble suddenly."

Green also sighed.
