Iger sneered in his heart, but considering that he and Littlefinger were indeed standing on the same front at the moment, he endured it and did not expose the other party's subconscious suggestion to draw closer to each other: "Oh? I would like to hear more about it."
"The first thing I thought of was: Varys is using this to suppress Stark and help Bolton." Littlefinger didn't show off at all, but started to say his own judgment, "You and I are both Stark and Bolton." A friend of the Ke family, a friend of a friend is also a friend... Now that I am my own, I will not talk about the cover-up. No one is blind-you, me and the Queen know: The Stark family is in the night watchman's attack on Winterfell It was only later that you persuaded him to be loyal to the queen with the 'truth'. Not to mention that Robb's child's submission was not really voluntary, even if it was, it would be difficult for him to command the entire northern border and make everyone pay The family came out to support the restoration of a 'mad king's daughter'."
The two gradually approached the sanctuary, and Petyr looked up at the heptagram, which is rare to see in the northern region, and then at the darkening sky, before continuing: "It is conceivable that once the Queen finds out: The public allegiance of the Duke of Winterfell can't bring the full support of the northerners, so her attention and recognition to the Stark family will be greatly reduced. On the contrary, the favor of Bolton, who has elite soldiers and is the first to vote, will be greatly strengthened And since Varys introduced Earl Bolton to the Queen, he gained the Queen's trust and attention, which indirectly means that Varys' own influence on the Queen has also been strengthened. A small victory in the competition made me feel depressed."
This is exactly Iger's conjecture. He nodded in conviction this time, and was even more curious as to why Littlefinger still had a tone of incompleteness—according to experience, there must be something behind the "but".
"However, after thinking about it, I realized that things might not be that simple." As expected, the little man's voice became more serious after a turning point, "With the knowledge, experience and brains of the octospider, he will never I can't see the possible harm caused by the delay of the queen's warplane and the ineffective command caused by the queen's stranded northern border to her cause of seizing the Seven Kingdoms. I know this eunuch, he is an extremely rational power player, and he is good at and pays attention to maintaining his position and influence, but he will never do stupid things that harm others out of selfishness. If it is just to support his allies who bet on the northern border and suppress the image of the Stark family, you and me in the Queen's eyes, he There are thousands of ways to choose, and there is no way to give Dany such a muddled suggestion that jeopardizes her entire career, and in turn threatens her own status as "Chief of Intelligence."
"Varys will only ruin other people's affairs and disrupt the situation if he is sure that he can benefit from it." Petyr withdrew his gaze from left to right, turned his head, and stared at the formal suit with sharp eyes amidst the raging draft in Winterfell. Stupid Iger: "After thinking about it, I suddenly realized: either the eunuch is old and stupefied and stupid - which is unlikely, or...he put the interests of a person or force other than the queen at the expense of Consider it as a higher priority."
"Then, here comes the question: who benefits from the queen wasting time in the north?"
Who benefits?There are too many... The false king Stannis, the Stormlord of the River Valley and even the bend of the river, and... the night watchman suddenly got goosebumps - awakened by the words of the people around him, he suddenly realized: he really didn't Consider this level.
Could it be...
"Before the queen flew to the north on a dragon, one of the issues that Varys and I were confronting and competing with was: how to respond to the greetings from that 'little Aegon' and how to deal with the relationship with this 'other Targaryen' .My point is that the queen should maintain her supremacy, another Targaryen of dubious status, either unconditionally swears allegiance to her majesty, or should be regarded as a fake and an enemy; and Varys's suggestion is, with That little Aegon formed an alliance and married him, or at least listed him as the heir, so as to win over the golden company under his command." Petyr continued, "Although it is very noisy, Varys' suggestion is really very good. Common and easily conceivable political means, although not in line with my preferences and interests, are indeed a solution to the problem. Therefore, despite my opposition, I dare not make malicious speculations about Varys' loyalty to the Queen However, combined with the fact that the eunuch suddenly and abnormally delivered a stupid trick that was so thoughtless that it did not meet its level at all, after thinking about it, I suddenly dug out a detail that I had overlooked before: this guy is very important in promoting the alliance and marriage between the Queen and Aegon This matter seems to be too enthusiastic and caring!"
This is almost an indication that Iger knew what Petyr was going to say next, and he felt suddenly enlightened, and he showed a shocked expression that was not fake—one was surprise: as a time traveler, he had more information, but he actually Not one of the natives of this world straightened out their thinking quickly; the second is frightening: the situation I am facing now seems to be more dangerous and complicated than I thought before.
"Could it be that his real object of allegiance is..."
"That's right!" Although Iger only uttered half a sentence, Petyr had already firmly approved his reaction, and was even a little surprised that a night watchman could follow his train of thought so quickly. He glanced at him with eyes mixed with admiration and apprehension, "Recalling what happened in the past year, I suddenly realized: While I was busy dealing with a lot of shit for the Queen's war to recover the Seven Kingdoms, Varys wasn't Persuading the queen to marry Aegon is trying to introduce Jon Connington's emissary to His Majesty. Before and after the contact, I had a bold guess: This guy's real allegiance is actually the dubious Prince Aegon... He came to join the queen, with the purpose of laying pawns beside Daenerys, paving the way for the former's plan to steal the queen's legitimacy and the fruits of victory!"
"The Golden Regiment already has a strong military force and considerable combat power, and they have the capital to be wooed. With such an insider whispering in the Queen's ear, the probability of success is extremely high. Originally, there is no conflict between caring about Aegon and assisting the Queen. Varys naturally Happy to play the role of a loyal minister, but now, as the commander-in-chief you broke out halfway, the balance of power suddenly tilted fatally to him: originally there were the Unsullied, the Free Folk Legion and the Queen of Dragons, and now you have the Night Watchman Legion As well as the public loyalty and support of the northern border, His Majesty suddenly has enough capital to unify the Seven Kingdoms-"Winning little Aegon and his golden group" became a dispensable option overnight. This forced Let him... come up with a show of presenting a trick to the queen today!"
Littlefinger just had a bold guess, but Iger, who knew the background of the plot, understood in an instant that this was the truth.The simple model of the Three Kingdoms Killing is enough to summarize what is happening in Winterfell at this moment: Varys, who is playing the role of a traitor, suddenly finds that the lord and his loyal ministers have drawn a lot of good cards this round, and the only way to win is naturally to quickly Make a move, contain and consume the power of the main loyal side, and rebalance the situation!
But the metaphor is just a metaphor after all. Iger quickly extended his thinking and thought of something even more terrifying: Westeros is not a game of killing the Three Kingdoms after all. Constrained by the rule that loyal ministers deal with the lord again, you can skip the foreplay and directly target anyone!
And that means...
"On the bright side, Varys may just want to delay for a while, so that the Queen's advantage of gaining the support of the Night's Watch and the North will weaken with the passage of time and the disappearance of war opportunities, thus re-emphasizing the need to win over Aegon and the Golden Company. "Petyr quickly said in a heavy tone what he was thinking, "But I'm afraid, this octospider's means and determination are more than that. It is very likely that he wants to use it to trap us here. During this period of time, come and deal with the Starks, you and me, and even Her Majesty herself, lest she become an obstacle to little Aegon's rule of the Seven Kingdoms after she conquers the South and wins one after another!"

Chapter 532
The conversation stopped for a while, and the wind re-occupied the world.
After a few seconds of silence, Iger recovered from the shock.
It's not that he can't analyze what Littlefinger just said, but because he has been in the north for a long time and doesn't know much about the real-time situation in the south, and he has spent too much energy and brains on dealing with the northern border and making plans to flatten the Seven Kingdoms Only then did he lose a little bit in vigilance.
Self-comfort is self-comfort, but Iger has to admit two things:
First, in terms of political sensitivity and political scheming, Petyr is indeed much better than himself as a veteran player—without the blessing of the amount of information from the traverser, even if he has equivalent information in the position of little finger, He also has to think about it for at least one night and the next morning to straighten everything out, and he can never start recruiting helpers just a few minutes after the meeting ends like him;
Second, even though he doesn't like it or even hates it instinctively, Petyr is indeed his ally right now—although this guy may be just another type of mole, but unlike Varys, there is a way out The retreat is the little finger who tied his family, life and future to Daenerys, at least for the time being, he is really loyal to the queen.
That being the case...
Iger switched to a serious face: "If this guess is true, aren't you and Your Majesty both in danger at this moment? Lord Petyr...does he have a good way to deal with it?"
He intends to listen to this guy's idea—of course, he doesn't want to accept and obey him like a marionette, but as a reference, there will be no loss of meat!
"Honestly speaking, there is no good way... just now, the conjecture just now must not be told to the queen. At this moment, His Majesty will only think that we are narrow-minded and slandering dissidents. If we fail to do something, we will cause trouble Sao. At the moment, I can only see the tricks, stabilize my position first, and then wait for the opponent to make mistakes in his busy schedule and show his flaws." Littlefinger sighed, turned his head to stare at the night watchman, his eyes shone slightly in the gradually enveloping night : "However, against this kind of old fox, I am really not sure that I will win alone. As the kingdom's strong shield and the guardian of mankind, the commander-in-chief has a heart for the people of the seven kingdoms. He must be a loyal and reliable person. I am thinking: maybe You and I can work together to prevent our common monarch from stepping into the traitor's trap."
Sure enough.
Roose Bolton had already made it clear that the enemy had no room for change, and Varys probably felt that he was too upset... In the big mud pit in front of the queen, it is obviously a dream to be alone.Today, this team can't do without standing. The enemy and the enemy have nothing to think about, so it's time to make a simple statement.
A series of thoughts flashed through my heart, but less than half a second actually passed. Iger seemed to nod without hesitation, full of righteousness: "Everything is for the Queen! Mr. Prime Minister, but if there is something that needs to be done, just ask, I am duty-bound!"
……
The sky was finally completely dark. The torches and charcoal basins all over the castle cast the shadows of the building everywhere. They walked around the church. While discussing the way to "protect the queen", the two stepped on the shadows that wobbled and twisted into various strange shapes Outline, start to go back the way you came.
"The commander-in-chief was born in the army, so he may not understand the methods and tricks in the field of power. Why don't you and I work together and perform their own duties--for the next few days, my lord, just use the contacts and relationships you have managed in the Northland Wang, complete the task of 'Getting the Queen's Recognition in the Northern Territory' as soon as possible. I will be in charge of His Majesty's side. I will use an appropriate method to let the Queen relax the conditions a little. At the same time, I will keep an eye on Varys to prevent him from playing tricks to trip us up. Son. Being caught off guard by this old eunuch will never happen again, at least it can ensure that adults don’t have to worry about threats from behind.”
Without a few words of nonsense, Petyr came up with a rough plan, obviously already well-planned: "Of course, the above is just a rough assignment of tasks, and it doesn't mean that you can't meet the queen during this period, my lord, or that I won't be calling the North Please forgive me for not thinking of more ideas for a while, but the current problem cannot be solved overnight after all, so let’s do it well first. Prepare for Winterfell not to move. As friends and partners against a common enemy, we must maintain close communication, exchange ideas, and help each other in order to tide over this difficulty together."
"That's natural!" Iger nodded again and again, acting like a younger brother.Petyr's real person is much smarter than the wretched man in the TV series. He is an ally right now, but it is hard to guarantee that he will become an opponent someday... As the Queen's servant, Iger is really not sure that he can rely purely on political means Fight against a high-level player of this level, but if the day when he becomes an enemy inevitably comes, and he sees him as a pure warrior with a simple mind and only some cleverness and luck, then maybe he can still use this contempt to beat him Caught off guard.
And to achieve this, he has to pick up old skills that he hasn't used for a long time from today—reining in his sharpness and learning to hide his clumsiness.
During the last part of the road, the two continued to communicate more details about the division of labor and discuss possible ways to fulfill the Queen's request. During this period, Iger nodded and echoed most of the time, neither stealing the limelight nor pretending to be too stupid, The two finally agreed - 100% completion of the Queen's mission is an impossible goal.The most reasonable and possible solution at the moment is: first try to win as many northern nobles as possible to send troops to support—it doesn’t matter whether it is voluntary or not, and then try to convince the queen on this basis: this is already achievable best result.
"By the way, there is one more thing that I have to remind the Commander-in-Chief." Half a second after the two ended their talk in a cordial and friendly atmosphere and bid farewell to each other, Petyr, who had already turned his head away, suddenly turned around, full of With a serious face, he warned: "The nobles of the northern border can fight for as much as they can, and don't cheat. You let the soldiers of the Land Grant Army pretend to be the guards of Winterfell, I know, and Varys can see it too... But this is still okay. The explanation is that you want to protect the safety of Your Majesty, even if the queen knows it, she will not be angry. But you must not instruct your subordinates to pretend to be other northern nobles to "surrender". The queen hates being deceived the most in her life, even if you are doing it for her own good Once it is discovered, it will not be worth the loss, this is a lesson learned in blood... remember it!"
……
do i look that stupid
Iger didn't pretend to be stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for reminding me, I will remember."
It doesn't matter whether Littlefinger's words are showing off that he has seen through his own tricks or it is really out of care for his "ally and younger brother". Right now, he has to think of a way to escape from the cold ancient castle of Winterfell Therefore, it is imperative to devote yourself to the broader battlefield in the south to show your skills.But if you want to solve the problem in front of you, I'm afraid it really takes a lot of brains.
Joining the guards who followed far behind, Iger walked towards the residence in the castle while meditating.The new opponent is so difficult, the new task is so difficult, and so much space and resources are taken up in the brain, that the next person who comes to him calls him several times before bringing him back to reality.
"Master Iger!" A petite man looked up at him, as if he was wondering whether his voice was too low or the man didn't want to talk to her.
"Miss Maeve? Ah... sorry, I was thinking about something."
A smile appeared on Iger's face-this time it was not a fake.Myrcella has an aura of talent that everyone loves. Although he has traveled through time and is the goddess' substitute, he is still a person... It is no exaggeration to say that it is no exaggeration to say that meeting this smart and lovely little princess face to face, even if it is just to say Talking made his suppressed and heavy mood much happier.
After the initial relief, guilt hit his heart immediately. He suddenly realized that the little girl in front of him not only took the risk to sneak out of the city to deliver important information, but even did something on the night the land-grant army attacked the city. A bad thing that requires courage and trust, the crooked attack is greatly reducing the casualties and time it takes for Iger to lay down Winterfell.Obviously made such a great achievement, but I have been so busy these days that I have been dizzy, either commanding and dealing with the menacing northern reinforcements outside the city, or appeasing and taking care of the Stark family who have actually become his hostages. "I completely forgot to the back of my mind... I didn't even take the time to chat with her alone, express my gratitude, ask about my wishes, and relieve the psychological pressure I might have to bear!
-
Chapter 533 Little Daughter Zhuge
Myrcella's life is really not easy these days, but Iger can be relieved that this has nothing to do with him forgetting the other party, and even on the contrary, his neglect actually made things a little easier...
Because he was the main source of problems for most of the people in the castle.
Holding the trust and courage that I feel like being possessed when I look back, the little princess chooses to believe in Iger and assists him in attacking her "new home" Winterfell. During the process of changing ownership of the castle, no Stark family member died. It was great news, but it only lightened half of the burden she was carrying. Myrcella still had to worry: whether what the night watchman said about Roose Bolton and the queen was true, and whether she was credulous because of her youth and ignorance. Being used... against the people you love?
Fortunately, all the tension and panic came to an end today—as the Queen arrived at Winterfell with the Unsullied Guards and accompanied by Earl Bolton, she publicly and formally entered the castle as her master. The rumors that have been wiped out by the Dreadfort army" naturally dissipated in the face of the iron-clad facts.Myrcella, who witnessed it with her own eyes, finally let go of her guard while she was greatly relieved: she was not deceived, that mysterious foreigner of unknown origin was actually as reliable and trustworthy as she expected, and she gambled on her own luck. An adventure, actually——protected the Stark family, and saved them from a genocide crisis!
After this "conspiracy" test of trust, the imaginary Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch and the real Iger West perfectly merged together, and Myrcella suddenly felt as familiar and close to him as if she had known him for many years .
……
There were many people in the compound, and Myrcella was careful to pay attention to her expression and demeanor, so as not to spoil this meeting in the eyes of interested people: "It doesn't matter, are you free now?"
Busy - but Iger didn't say so.Firstly, it is really difficult for a normal person to say "no" to such a cute little girl; secondly, it can be judged by impression: Myrcella will not harass herself because of some nonsense.
"Free time." He didn't stop, but slowed down his pace slightly so that Myrcella's little feet could easily keep up, "Why, isn't Arya still thinking about how to kill me? "
"No, no, she is still very angry on the surface, but after seeing Earl Bolton following the Queen's ass during the day, the anger in her heart has calmed down a lot." Myrcella followed him briskly, her tone Lively: "Although I don't understand why the adults allow her to keep the 'sewing needle', even if she still wants to stab someone with a small sword, the target must not be you. If you have to talk about her current state, Arya's most distressing thing now is probably...she can't like you anymore."
This wording is really strange, Iger turned his head to look at the little princess, and asked, "What do you mean 'can't' like me anymore?"
"Oh, how should I put it?" The little princess combed her curly blond hair hanging from her ears with her fingers tangledly, and after frowning for a while, she came to an idea, "That is... if someone asked Arya before: 'Sta Miss Ke, why do you like a night watchman', she will definitely reply fiercely: 'None of your business!'; but if someone asks her now... er... anyway, you know, sir, it's not like she doesn't like it You are dead, I can't like you anymore."
It turned out to be like this, Iger roughly understood, and even guessed what the second half of the sentence Myrcella dared not say—now if someone asks Arya: Miss Stark, why do you like a traitor?Then this is obviously a tricky question that is both difficult to answer and impossible to attack...
People are social animals, no matter how much they say "I don't care what other people think", in fact they still have to be influenced by public opinion after all.
In the case that he has indeed adopted dishonorable means and can be regarded as a traitor to a certain extent, he is not even qualified to lose his temper, so he can only nod with a wry smile, expressing that he understands what the girl said: "Thank you, please trouble Maeve." Miss, continue to take good care of Arya, and don't let her do any stupid things that hurt others or herself. But if there is anything unusual, come to me immediately..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly couldn't help but want to slap himself on the head. He made Arya Adam a tool to maintain the relationship with the Stark family. The girl who loves to spy on her... On the road to becoming a big villain, he has gone farther and farther.
"I will pay attention, but today I came to see you for another matter." Myrcella probably also realized that this topic made the atmosphere a bit awkward, so she quickly changed the subject, "I'm too bored to think about it , suddenly discovered a piece of information that might be useful to adults, but you probably didn’t notice or ignored it.”
"Oh?" Iger raised his brows with interest, "Let's hear it."
"In the end, wasn't Hearth City destroyed and slaughtered during the previous White Walkers' invasion of the south, which led to the destruction of the Amber family. As one of the former big families in the North, the Ambers left behind that strong castle and a large area of untouched land. The Lord’s land is temporarily occupied by the night watchmen for legitimate purposes and reasons, but can your lord think about how to deal with it in the future?”
Where does this follow?Aiger didn't understand why, so he shrugged and replied: "Occupying Last Hearth City is out of helpless expropriation. The people in the northern border demanded to return it. It is reasonable and reasonable. I have no reason to hold it in my hand and not return it. In order to avoid disputes, the It is up to the northerners themselves to decide how to deal with it."
"Your Excellency must consider not arousing the xenophobic hostility of the people in the north, that's right." The little princess whispered, as if she was afraid of being overheard: "If the people in the north decide for themselves, the final result will either be a noble They reached an agreement through struggle, and finally found a descendant from somewhere that everyone can accept and whose ancestors had a marriage with the Amber family, and asked him to change his surname and rebuild the new Amber family; or, in the end, they failed to argue This is a plan that everyone is satisfied with, and in the end the city of Hearth was removed from its name... the castle was reduced to ruins, and the land was divided and digested by the heroes recognized by the Stark family and the surrounding families."
She paused, then continued: "These two outcomes have nothing to do with you, my lord, but in fact, a ready-made method that allows you to swallow this unclaimed land reasonably and legally is in front of my lord. You just don't realize it."
Iger didn't keep up with the little princess's train of thought, and he didn't really want to follow up—what he was thinking about now was how to deal with Varys and drag the queen south to fight the country as soon as possible, and establish a "new Kingdom of Westeros" with the Great King's Land as its core. ".In this grand plan, the land he wants to swallow is huge. In the end, a small county in Hearth City is like a sesame seed next to a watermelon. It is neither rich nor strategically important. Occupying it is more important. His own "Northern Self-Government Plan" is contrary, and the ownership of it and the land it brings... To put it bluntly, it really hasn't entered his mind.
The disdain for the first half second quickly dissipated, and Iger quickly returned to a state of rational thinking: Amber's territory is an earldom, but due to the natural nature of the northern territory, which is sparsely populated, it is not too small... In terms of area, it is It is almost half the size of the old kingdom, and almost as large as the entire land grant. In terms of population, even after the catastrophe, there are still [-] to [-] residents. It is not worthwhile to offend the entire northern border and affect the unification of the Seven Kingdoms for such a piece of land, but The point is this: what Myrcella just said was "swallow it legally".
If this little girl Zhuge really has a way to let him take the Last Hearth City into his pocket without enmity with the people in the north - Iger doesn't believe there will be such a good thing - then he is also willing to spare time and energy, Come to play this move.
"Let's hear it."
"My lord, do you still remember that the only daughter of Lord Morse Umber, who was kidnapped back then, re-acquainted with her father as a land-grant resident after you accepted the wildlings through the Great Wall?"
Of course, I remember that this reunion scene was arranged by Iger. The purpose was to disintegrate the resolute opposition of the Amber family, who was the most hostile to wildlings in the northern inspection group, to the "land grant resettlement plan"-this trick worked as expected.
"Remember, what happened?"
"She has two children with the wild man who took her."
That's right, they were all taken back by Amber's family.
Iger frowned and asked in doubt: "This Miss Amber or her two sons were not in the castle when Hearth City was finally breached?"
"I'm not sure, but I heard Lord Robb complain when I was having dinner with Arya and the others. He said at the time: 'The two grandsons of Morse the Crow, who are used to living with the wildlings, died at the end of the fireplace. The city couldn’t stay there at all, and ran to Houguan town twice in three days’.”
It turned out to be the case.
If one of these two children is still alive and in Houguan Town, then I will hold in my hands the man who is closest to the Amber family alive in the world. Of course...they are just Miss Amber who was taken away by wild men The "hybrids" born, but as long as they ask the queen to classify them as orthodox - the king has this power, then they are the most qualified people in the world to inherit the city of the last hearth, this is what Myrcella said "reasonable" A way to legally swallow the Lord of Last Hearth!"
Iger understood everything, and turned to look at his orderly: "Harvey, what are the names of the two grandsons of Crow Eater Morse?"
"I don't know, my lord!"
The well-trained soldier straightened his back reflexively, and gave the most embarrassing answer in the most arrogant tone.
"Were they in Houcrown when the White Walkers came south around the Wall?"
"I don't know, my lord!"
"Are they still alive?"
"I don't know, my lord!"
He asked three questions, but Iger didn't blame Harvey... If he didn't even think about this at all, then it is obviously too much to expect an ordinary officer under his command to have such incredible intuition.
"Find out the matter as soon as possible, and if they're not dead, send someone to come before me—tread carefully!"
"Yes, my lord!"
The neat questions and orders unique to soldiers happened so quickly that Myrcella didn't even find a gap to interject. Looking at the back that made the soldiers turn and leave immediately to carry out the task, she suddenly understood why the night watchman Can defeat the White Walkers and the army of the dead.
"Uh, my lord...they seem to be named Angus and Benny." The little princess looked away, said softly, and then lowered her voice as if guilty, "It is very likely that they were in Houguan Town when the White Walkers attacked. , but even if it’s a pity that they didn’t, you can actually find someone to pretend to be them, my lord. The little boys grow up fast, and everyone who knows them has all died at the hands of ghouls in Last Hearth City. "

Chapter 534 Little Daughter Zhuge
Ah!
Iger doesn’t need to think too much about it to judge that the plan proposed by Myrcella does meet the two criteria of “reasonable” and “legal” at the same time... People in the north will complain about this, but there is no such thing as before the Queen’s downfall. There is no way to find reasons and excuses to openly oppose it. This is an unbreakable conspiracy.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Myrcella with a surprised gaze.
A good idea is naturally a good idea, but on a macro scale, it is only an excellent political method at the upper middle level, not some amazing operation that has never been seen before or since. Iger really wants to annex the Last Hearth City Use your brain on this point, and you can definitely discuss it with your staff if you spend some time.What surprised and surprised him was not the strategy itself, but: such a lyb-like power trick came from a girl with thick eyebrows... Ah no, a cute little girl with thin eyebrows, big eyes, and a cute face. mouth.
From the looks of it, it can only be said that you know people, know faces, but don't know your heart... The ten years that Myrcella lived in the Red Castle as a princess were not completely wasted.
Being in the center of political power in the Seven Kingdoms since childhood may explain why girls can come up with such a strategy that requires a certain degree of political intuition and sensitivity, but Iger was a little relieved, and was soon shrouded in another group of greater doubts : This little girl, time and time again, is wasting her brain to advise him, what is she asking for?
Do you feel that you still owe yourself to take care of her two brothers, or do you want to imitate the 12-year-old Gan Luo, who worshiped Shangqing, and want to show off his talents in this way, so he volunteered to squeeze into the queen's camp and become his little counselor?
He looked at the little princess with a curious and inquiring look, but he didn't wait until he stared at her until she blushed slightly and turned his head away, so he finally had to look back, nodded, and pretended to be stupid: " It’s a good idea, I’ll take the time to make arrangements to ensure that the search for the real and the fake Amber starts simultaneously, and it’s done in secret, so that the duck that’s full of its mouth won’t fly out again.”
"Yeah." Myrcella nodded, and looked up at him again, as if she had already said all that, but she still seemed to be looking forward to it... She was about to say something but she was so pitiful, she used textbook-level examples to show that "you have something to say." I want to say "how should I act.
Iger felt a little itchy on his scalp. He could vaguely guess what Misera wanted to say, but unfortunately he didn't dare to ask.There are not many smart people among his subordinates and staff. It stands to reason that if you meet a smart person, you should recruit them to enrich your think tank. However, after all, you can't accept everyone...
If Myrcella was a gentleman and an old fox like Sir Denys Mallister, he could have asked "what do you want" and made a good bargain and made a mutually beneficial transaction; It's a boy, and I will laugh and pat her on the shoulder at this moment, and tell her boldly: Young man, you are very talented, come and mix with me; Kingslayer and Cersei's daughter, he can also take her with him. A secretary in name but an aide in fact...
However, a girl is not only a former member of the Baratheon family, but also the queen's father-killing enemy--Duke Tywin's "granddaughter and granddaughter". No matter from which point of view, she is definitely the queen's enemy and threats.At the moment when Daenerys Targaryen is about to take back the Seven Kingdoms, if somehow the former princess and the illegitimate daughter of the chaos are taken away and kept as a staff member, others will think that they are looking at her young and beautiful It's a small matter, once you start thinking about politics and then spread it to the Queen's ears, it will be really troublesome.
And with insidious characters like Varys and Roose Bolton watching, the above "once" can almost be considered as "it will happen sooner or later" - and I can't bear it...or I don't want to Take that risk.
