The king on the Great Wall

Page 202

"There's Mr. Larkburn."

After Caitlin thanked Coburn in advance, she couldn't wait to grab her youngest son Rickon, and walked towards the door as if fleeing.

The parents wanted to leave, and the daughter-in-law and other children had no choice but to turn around and follow. A large group of people left the hospital bed in an instant, and everyone was greatly relieved.Qyburn was the first to go to the door and opened the door for Mrs. Stark in a gentlemanly manner. At the same time as the mother who was the first stepped over the threshold, Sansa, who was so frightened by her brother's sincere words just now, came back to her senses. , poked Rickon slightly in embarrassment, and whispered a word of reprimand.

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb. What's the situation now, can you talk nonsense!"

This was a kind advice from my family, and the volume was so low that Cobain couldn't hear it, but what I met was an unreasonable brat—Rickon was still brooding over Shaggy Dog's death, but was The mother was irritated by pulling her arm, and when she was lightly touched by her sister, her grievance and dissatisfaction suddenly exploded like a balloon, and she pushed Sansa with her backhand.

"I'll just say it! He can't hear me, what can I do?"

Although Rickon is young, he has developed a relatively strong body in the years of playing with the direwolves. Sansa was caught off guard and was pushed backwards, bumping into the girl who was holding Lyanna. His sister-in-law Roslin made the latter also take a step back. Fortunately, there was Arya behind him, so she didn't fall down.

"Beware!"

Seeing this, Qyburn was afraid that Mrs. Young Wolf would fall and break Miss Stark in her arms and something would happen, so he hurried over to support her, and walked through the door frame with the baby girl in her arms.

"You're not finished yet!" Arya, who was already upset, became annoyed when her thoughts were disrupted by this hit, and she raised her hand and slapped her brother hard on the head.

"That's enough, let's all stop!" Caitlin regretted forcing the children to do this scene at this moment, and quickly dragged Rickon to her to separate the siblings, and at the same time turned her head to stare at Arya, Pushing his younger son out of the commander-in-chief's room.

Everyone was attracted by the little conflict between the children, and no one noticed that Rickon pushed Sansa just now—not only did Sansa bump into Roslin, but Roslin stopped in her tracks. Arya, who was forced to brake, also squeezed Myrcella who was walking at the end... A series of rear-end collisions suddenly forced the light and defenseless little princess into a corner. Out of the "driveway", he was pushed to the wall behind the door on one side, and was in a wonderful dead-end position.

The guard outside the door watched the whole Stark family who had just entered the house walk out of the house one by one, and then probed into the house, their sight was just blocked by the half-open door, and they couldn't see the slender and petite Youcai behind the door. Myrcella, who was standing still, mistakenly thought that all the visitors had left. Based on the principle of "it's freezing in the cold, the heat in the house is precious and less loss is a little bit", she reached out and grabbed the doorknob without hesitation, and pulled the door cleanly. up.

"boom."

With a soft sound, the door closed in front of my eyes, and Myrcella, who was about to quickly chase the few people in front of me out of the room, was slammed in the opposite direction, immediately isolating her from the outside world.The girl who didn't know what happened almost hit the board, and was stunned for two seconds before realizing what happened, and she couldn't laugh or cry.

Even though she was half a step behind the Starks, this group of "family members" could ignore her existence abruptly!

And the night watchman soldiers who guarded the door for Iger were so careless - they didn't check whether the number of people who came out was the same as the number of people who went in!

Aside from feeling sad and aggrieved, she also understood that this was just a simple accident, and no one had any malicious intentions: Arya didn't mean to bully her, and the guards didn't deliberately slack off. It's not the blood of the wolf family, and it's too small to have a very low sense of existence.

Originally, at this time, she only needed to open the door, apologize to the guards and explain the situation, and then quickly take two steps to catch up with Caitlin and the others, but her hand was almost touching the door handle, but a thought made it shrink back back.

(Maybe... I shouldn't just leave like this? At least I can stay in the house until the guard who accompanied the Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch returns after finishing his work, and then make a seamless connection, lest Iger wake up during this period and no one will take care of him? Thinking about it further, if he is lucky and he wakes up during this period of time, and he will see him accompanying him when he opens his eyes, he will definitely be more fond of me... In this way, when I ask for help after he recovers, I will be agreed Maybe a little bigger too?)

A bunch of miscellaneous thoughts queuing up and drifting through my mind, and in the end Myrcella shook her head and threw them all out of my head: Everyone in the wolf family temporarily forgot her existence, it doesn’t mean they can’t remember it afterwards. If you didn't keep up, and turned back to find yourself sneaking in Egger's room, what would you think of yourself?Moreover, although I kindly wanted to take over the shift for a while, the other party might not appreciate it, that person didn't even know me, went to the bathroom and came back to find a sneaky Stark family member in the room, It's hard to say whether you feel that you are being instructed by Mrs. Caitlin to do something wrong...

Even if the most miraculous situation occurs, Iger wakes up in the short moment when she is waiting on the scene, and I am very happy to see myself... But the meaning and purpose of this kind of behavior, to please, is too strong and ruthless It worked out.

No matter what you do, it's best not to show your appearance.

After thinking clearly about her interests and waking up from consciousness, she had already stood stupidly behind the door for dozens of seconds. If she waited any longer, she would probably be questioned by the guards when she went out. If you hold the doorknob, you have to pull it hard.

But at this moment, a clearly detectable sigh came from the direction of the hospital bed behind him.

Chapter 568 Destroy the flowers?

If watching others leave is "watching off", then the thing Iger has done most recently should probably be called "earning off".

Closing his eyes and pretending to be dead, hearing replaced him as the main way of perception. He lay motionless on the bed, listening to the movement in the house, until the sound of footsteps, the sound of the door opening, the howling wind and several children arguing in turn, and finally, as usual, He stopped abruptly with the sound of the door being slammed shut, and then slowly opened his eyes.

In order to prevent visitors from accidentally breaking the truth, Iger made two preparations: on the one hand, he asked Harvey to order that anyone entering the house must make an appointment and undergo interrogation; In this way, whether a visitor comes to the door suddenly, or a visitor returns because he left something or forgot something, the guard at the door will intercept the inquiry according to the rules, thus creating a delay for him in the house. Time to go back to bed.

59, [-]... It's time.

He let out a long breath, sat up straight, turned around and moved to the side of the bed, stepped into the slippers, stood up and stretched wantonly...

Then I saw the girl standing at the door.

Myrcella turned sideways towards the exit and put one hand on the doorknob, looking like she was about to leave but turned around at the last moment when she noticed something unusual, froze on the spot with her small mouth slightly opened, widening her beautiful eyes full of innocence and surprise, Looking at him flickeringly.

The air froze in an instant, and two seconds after the four eyes met, Iger put down his unstretched arms, raised his hands and made a comforting gesture asking her not to say anything, and walked towards the other party lightly. Under Saila's gaze, she slowly approached to a distance of one meter, and then, like a praying mantis preying on prey, her arms flew out, and before the girl could scream, she clamped her waist and covered her. He touched her lips and pulled her into his arms.

Just dragging her away from the door like a gangster holding a hostage, and taking her to a place far enough from the exit, Iger's tense nerves relaxed a little.

He was trembling all over—not fear, but nervousness.Anyone who finds an uninvited guest in the house without any precautions will be shocked, and for him, this incident is not only exciting, but also a fatal accident. , His entire consciousness was only left with the thought of "Oops!", and the series of behaviors of covering Myrcella's mouth and dragging her back into the house were even completed instinctively with a blank mind, until the most imminent Only when the crisis of exposure was resolved, there was finally room for reflection.

"Don't bark, just nod if you agree!" Iger looked down at Myrcella who was caught in his arms like a kitten, and said the lines like a kidnapper and a trafficker, until the girl nodded vigorously, and then carefully removed the cover. The palm covering her mouth, "Why are you still here!?"

"I..." Myrcella was also trembling, I don't know whether it was because of fear or being infected by the same physical reaction against his body, "I was going to leave, but... the guard closed the door..."

"Does it take that long to open the door?"

"No... I... I don't know what was going on in my mind, so I just stood there for a while."

The girl trembled even more, and even the voice of the answer was filled with tears. Only then did Iger feel the delicate and warm touch in the palm of the other hand——Looking down, he found that he had covered Myrcella with his right hand just now. At the same time as she opened her mouth, her left hand subconsciously grabbed her throat.The little princess's neck is under my grasp at this moment, white and tender, slender and slender, really worthy of the elegant metaphor of "swan neck". Iger couldn't hold it anymore...

This slender jade neck can be broken easily with a little force!

Is this the legendary muscle reaction? The body has already given the safest suggestion in body language: kill her.

The dead will not tell the truth, strangle this cute little thing, and then fake a fall accident accident, although it will be a bit troublesome to explain to the Stark family later, but it will completely prevent the sudden accident. The possibility of the conspiracy being exposed, this is the choice a hero who does great things should make!

The point is, is he ruthless?

Seeing that Iger fell silent, but the hand pinching his neck did not relax at all, Myrcella's waist was weak and her legs were weak, and her intestines were green with regret: an accident that was originally harmless, but because she was infatuated for a while, unexpectedly In the blink of an eye, it fermented and turned into a huge crisis that could kill her!

In fact, when she watched the other party sit up from the bed, she had already sensed that something was wrong, and realized that she might have unintentionally broken a shocking secret that she should never have access to, let alone know the inside story.The reason why he didn't open the door to escape was entirely because he clearly understood that doing so would not only bring trouble to Iger, but also force him to chase and kill him... and there is no one in Winterfell who can fight against him.After some inner struggles, he finally bit the bullet and stayed, thinking that maybe he could use the old acquaintance to resolve this crisis through communication.

Now it seems that I am still too young and naive after all.How can Iger, who has been able to become the commander-in-chief of the Night Watch from a small soldier to the land-grant lord, be just the kind uncle he seems to be on weekdays?He had good intentions in not strangling himself directly, but whether he can get out of this room safely and unscathed today depends on whether the next two sentences can resolve his murderous intentions!

"Master Iger, calm down...it's me!" Myrcella's teeth were chattering, but she still managed to hold back her words, "The murderer who poisoned me has been caught and committed suicide in prison! You It's all right now, can you... let me go."

What is this little girl talking about?

Iger was confused for half a second before reacting.

Just like the classic question once circulated on the Internet: When the hotel waiter accidentally broke into the room of the female guest who was taking a shower, how should I apologize?

Sorry ma'am, I didn't see anything?There is no silver here, which is tantamount to admitting that he has seen the bathing posture of the other party.

A better answer would be: sorry sir, to bother you!

Myrcella was pretending to be stupid, pretending that she didn't think about anything, and pretending to believe that she really woke up from a coma - in order to gain a chance of life and try to save herself!

This is a smart and brave girl, and Iger has never doubted this... However, no matter how good her qualities are, they will only become pleasing when there is no conflict of interest with him, but the current situation is: she accidentally He smashed through a shocking conspiracy of his own, mastered his own murder and deception, and became a huge threat!

Under such circumstances, should I be merciful and let her go jokingly with my own wealth and life... Or should I be ruthless and follow my usual style to nip all threats in the bud?

Chapter 569 Destroy the flowers?

"How many times did this girl give you advice and advice? That day you attacked Lindong at night, and you helped set fire to the city to reduce the casualties of the land-grant army's attack. Are you willing to do something like this?"

"The blood of the Lannister family is shed in the bones, and the coat of arms of the Stark family is embroidered on the clothes. What gave you the illusion that 'she is one of your own'? There is nothing comparable to setting fire to the stables, Even if the previous incident is exposed, most outsiders will accuse you of being despicable and shameless, but even a little girl is used, but once the matter of poisoning the queen's important officials is exposed, everything you have done these days will be in vain, even yourself It's in danger!"

"You are in a coma, the Queen came to the door in person, and seeing is believing—His Majesty himself completely believes in it. As the daughter of her father and enemy, what Myrcella said is somewhat credible. , can threaten you? Not to mention Misera alone, even if people in the whole world say that you did this, as long as the Queen still trusts you, you will have nothing to fear!"

"That's beautiful, have you forgotten the story of three people becoming tigers? In this cruel world, can we really hand over such a deadly handle to her?"

……

Killing intent with devil horns, kindness with angel halo - two miniature Igers are arguing in their minds, the winner has not yet been decided, but in reality he has already sighed and relaxed his arms helplessly strength.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.Just now, when his mind was in a blank state, it was probably the only moment when he could kill Myrcella. Once he let go of the hand covering his mouth and said a few words to her, Iger found that he really liked this little princess. ...whether before or after crossing.

It is also murder, counterattack in self-defense when life is threatened, decisive action to remove stumbling blocks, and helpless order to execute soldiers suspected of collaborating with the enemy... It is not the same thing as strangling an innocent girl with your own hands.He still couldn't reach that rank, and couldn't make this move.

Of course, this does not mean that he has decided to be merciful, but he suddenly felt that even if such a cute person had to be silenced, he was worthy of other methods that were gentler, less painful... and more beautiful, such as A glass of Stranger's Kiss for her moments when she feels safe, relaxed, and even happy.

Iger let go of Misera, but the strength on the arm was only slightly loosened, and the girl slumped straight down as if she had lost her bones. I don't know whether it was because her legs were weak from fright, or because she was strangled and had difficulty breathing, and her limbs were weak. .

He had no choice but to help the girl to the edge of the bed, helped her to sit down on the edge, and then pulled the stool beside her to sit opposite her, staring at her face with piercing eyes.

Myrcella looked up at Iger timidly, knowing that she was still not out of danger: "My lord...you have been in a coma for two days and two nights, don't you need to drink some water...can you eat something?"

Iger shook his head and did not cooperate with the performance: "Okay, girl, stop playing, or explain why you didn't leave with Mrs. Kaitlyn, what do you want to do hiding in my room?"

Playing stupid is indeed a smart move, but after all, he was not as simple as being naked in the hotel shower, but was smashed into a huge political conspiracy-this matter is not clear, he can't because of Mi Sira pretended she didn't see anything, as if it really hadn't happened.

Seeing that the man refused to let her get away with it, Myrcella, who had just relaxed a little bit, became nervous again. She took a few deep breaths to calm down her breathing rhythm, swallowed her saliva again, and tried to regain her sanity while doing these two movements. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that being honest is the most likely way to make Iger let go of his defenses and murderous intentions: "Actually...in fact, I saw that there was no one in the room, and I heard Mr. I want to wait and see if your lord will wake up so that I can talk to you privately, please... please do me a favor."

"I can't help you go home." Iger had already guessed that Myrcella was so deliberately close to please him, so he blocked the way forward with one sentence, "Did the Stark family abuse or bully you?"

"No……"

"That's it." On the surface, the Stark family adopted Myrcella, but apart from protection, they were actually supervising on the other hand.Just as the Night's Watch would never let Joffrey go back to the West - it's not just about sending a child home to be reunited with his family, it's a complicated, dangerous and badly political affair, and one that's clearly in the interests of the land grant Harmful but not beneficial, "You can no longer be Myrcella Baratheon, and the anonymity is actually for your own good, can you understand?"

"Understandable, but I... don't want to go home!" Myrcella blushed, shook her head vigorously, as if she had made a lot of determination, and choked out a sentence, "My lord, you know, I'm better than Ai." Liya is a little younger, so...although it was a little later, but in the end, she couldn't escape...encountering the same trouble as her."

What's the trouble, could it be that she has started to have a menstrual period?It's too late, besides, what does this have to do with me, do you need me to rub your stomach?

Before Iger showed a puzzled expression, the girl continued: "Robb and Mrs. Caitlin have chosen a fiancé for me, named Lawrence Snow... Next year, at the latest, I will go to married him."

"Laurence Snow?"

Iger has no idea who this person is, but judging from his surname, he is obviously an illegitimate child.It is true that Myrcella's current identity is Jon Snow, but this is too much... He frowned, originally subconsciously believed that the Starks are good people and would not bully her, but now it seems that it is not so?

"He...he is the illegitimate son of the Earl of Horwood. Because the eldest son of the Earl died in the war, it is said that he is likely to be established as the heir. Mrs. Caitlin told me that if I marry him, I will most likely be the heir in the future. Mrs Horwood."

Is it reversed again?Caitlin, as Robb's mother, is one of the women with the highest status in the North. She is absolutely capable of interfering with the choice of the new heir of the Hornwood family. The "nine out of ten" in her mouth can be regarded as "99%" understand!

"So, you don't like that boy?" Iger frowned even tighter. Although Hornwood is not as big as Karstark and Amber, it is definitely ranked in the top ten in the northern border. With her now With Maeve Snow's identity, the marriage arranged by the Stark family treated her like her own daughter.

With Myrcella's intelligence, she shouldn't be so arrogant that she still thinks that she is a princess and must marry a prince, right?

"No... I've never met him before, how can I say whether I like him or not." Myrcella still shook her head again and again, and became more and more faltering: "It's just... living in a gloomy and cold castle from now on. The birth bed is a battlefield, and it is my duty to serve my husband and educate the offspring... This is really not the life I want. I know this is too much, but I still have the courage to beg my lord, can you... take me with you when you go south Go? Didn't you promise Arya earlier that after defeating the White Walkers, you would change the laws of the Night Watchman and allow women to join the Night Watchman... I thought, maybe... maybe I can too..."

As she spoke, light began to flicker in her eye sockets, but unlike Iger's thought that "I frightened her", it was sadness that made up most of the tears.

It has been a few minutes since I accidentally bumped into Iger's pretended coma. Although the time was not long, it was enough for Myrcella to roughly piece together the whole story. As a good sister who slept in the same room, she would not ignore this matter. The "murderer" of the big case happened to be the detail of the person who framed Arya not long ago and caused her to be arrested by the Queen's Guard as an assassin.Although I can't figure out how Iger can complete such an inconceivable and meticulous layout and planting in such a short period of time, and even force the criminal to commit suicide in the hands of the Unsullied, but now she at least knows the result: someone is playing tricks Bullied Arya for a while, and then Iger took the pot with him behind the scenes in a blink of an eye!

Although her approach was a bit irritable and overreacted to the point of exaggeration, for her who lived under the fence and suffered from the warmth and coldness of the world...while feeling a little horrified, it was more—an envy that was so strong that it was almost jealous!

If there is such a strong and domineering guardian behind him, who is capable and willing to protect himself regardless of means... instead of being willful like Uncle James and his father, regardless of the feelings and safety of the people around him, what a great thing it would be happy thing?

But she didn't.

Not only no, on the contrary, she now has to rack her brains to make people believe that she will not inform, and try to make the other girl's guardian judge that she is not a threat, so that she can survive in his hands... How can she compare the two? Can you feel wronged or uncomfortable?

Chapter 570

"Join the Night Watch?"

It’s all right for these ladies to refuse to marry honestly, and they all hope to get out of trouble by wearing black clothes... The Night Watch Corps is the defender of the Great Wall, not a professional divorce agency!

After the slander was over, Iger quickly realized that this proposal was feasible.

Myrcella wasn't simply asking for help, but another purpose was to remind myself: In fact, there was another way to go - besides silencing her, I could also bring her with me and keep an eye on her at any time!

Put your life in your own hands, let him kill him whenever he wants, and don't need to be in a hurry.

It is of course a disturbing and unacceptable bad situation to be in the hands of "Duke Tywin's granddaughter", "Miss Stark" or "Countess of Hornwood in the North"...but if It is a person who is under his nose every day and knows a little about the truth... Although the risk of leaking secrets still exists, the threat value has dropped to near the acceptable red line.

To sum it up: he doesn't need to destroy the flowers with his hands, but he can break the flowers and put them in his pocket to take away!

"Yeah!" Seeing that the other party's tone was loose, the girl hurriedly added: "I can do many things! In addition to the most basic literacy and numeracy, I am also familiar with the culture, history and geography of Westeros and Free Trade Castle. Understand the noble genealogy of the Seven Kingdoms and the general situation of the city and the church; I can help you write letters, take notes, do simple inventory statistics, and I can whisper to you when you don’t know which lord or situation you don’t know Reminder or brief introduction; you can also serve tea and water when you are thirsty, go to the kitchen to order food when you are hungry, and rub your shoulders and back when you are tired! Now that Lord Petyr has passed away, the place for the Queen's Hand is vacant Come out, it is estimated that you will be responsible for a long period of time. It is definitely difficult for you to take care of everything in your day-to-day. You must have someone to serve and cooperate with you, arrange your schedule and remind you from time to time. Instead of looking for a suitable person, why don't you let me try? Woolen cloth!"

Obviously, these words have been brewed in the stomach many times, saying it in one breath really brought a big test to the girl's lung capacity, Mircella paused for half a second to breathe, and then continued as if afraid of not being able to finish.

"The princess of the Baratheon family has disappeared! I will never mention my past identity again, nor will I have any connection or relationship with my grandfather and uncle—unless you want me to do so. My lord, I know this It's hard for you, but... please think about it!"

This self-recommendation can be regarded as full of content and full of sincerity. It not only answered the question of what to do after she and Iger left - stay with him as an administrative secretary + life assistant, but also took the initiative to put aside the relationship with Lannister. Reduce his worries and vigilance... Clearly organized and logical, if Iger's previous sentence was "give me a reason not to kill you", then he has definitely received several answers.

Seeing such a little girl desperately struggling to survive with a tense tone and a helpless expression with tears in her eyes, Iger really wanted to slap himself.

He has never been a good person, and maybe even from the perspective of many people, he is an out-and-out villain.However, being a villain in the eyes of others and feeling like a bad person to yourself... This feeling is different after all, and the latter, even the most vicious villain, can rarely accept it calmly.

"Okay, don't be nervous, no one will be hurt today, come... have a drink, and then let's settle this matter slowly together."

Iger tried his best to make a gentle expression on his face that had been stiff for two days, reached out and picked up the kettle on the table, poured a cup of boiling water that was not too hot, and handed it to Myrcella.

The little princess nervously took the water glass with both hands, glanced at it as if she was afraid of the poison in it, and tremblingly lifted it up to take a sip, moistening her throat while raising her eyes to sneak a peek at Iger.

The cry of begging for mercy was stuck in her throat, but Myrcella realized that she had talked too much... trying to swallow the nonsense.She has already said everything that should be said, and if she should not say it, she will only lose points in the eyes of the other party. Whether she "died unexpectedly" or a blessing in disguise today depends on how the man in front of her finally decides.

……

Iger picked up another cup and poured himself a glass of water, holding it in his palm and starting to sort out his thoughts.

If this nonsensical accident hadn't happened, he would never have agreed to Myrcella's request.

It's not that she doubts her ability, nor that she doesn't believe that the little princess is qualified for the job she recommends, but—no matter how smart, capable, beautiful, kind and lovable she is, she can't offset the "King Slayer's Daughter" Negative effects of identity.Taking her away, although I got a five-star assistant who is both handy and eye-catching, it will annoy the Stark family and bring another major blow to the relationship that has dropped to a freezing point, let alone the queen knowing her identity How will he treat his worries in the future.
