Chapter 40 The Troubles in King's Landing (5)
"None of the knights of the valley brought by Duke Attis, including himself, did not participate in the prime minister's tourney. Alas, what a pity!"
"If Duke Attis participates in this tournament, I'm afraid everyone won't have to place bets, hahaha!"
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that the Knights of Flowers in Highgarden are all over the southern border, and it remains to be discussed which one is stronger and which one is weaker."
"Oh! It's just a flower stand, I think it's a flower stand."
"The family emblem is originally a rose!"
The sound of the brothel is noisy and noisy, but the main thread of many words is probably difficult to bypass this grand prime minister's martial arts competition. The prize money, the number of participants, and the size of the venue in this martial arts competition are far greater than those in the past. The tourneys organized by King Robert include the tourney on Prince Joffrey's name day.
Littlefinger held the wine glass in his hand and listened quietly to the discussions of the guests through the curtain. The gambling table in the martial arts tournament was so big that he would never see it again in his life. Naturally, he would not give up this business opportunity and immediately opened it in his own restaurant. Gambling tables were opened in various brothels.
King's Landing has been flooded with countless knights who are eager for honor and money, and it has also attracted gamblers from all over the world. Knights and gamblers with the same characteristics and desires have mixed together. Smart people have followed the traces and used some compatibility. Their unique words and business have trapped them in this city, draining them of the value they can offer selflessly. Once the tournament is over, all respect and promises will disappear, leaving only losers and poor people. Damn it, smart people have already taken away the golden dragon they want and stay away from these two types of people who are full of hostility.
King Robert, the tourney has always been the same. This time, if the name is changed, the Prime Minister's tourney will not change in any way.
Colorful paint on the streets sells very well. The ugly city has a bit of false prosperity under the exaggerated colors. The combination of bricks and tiles is like colorful streamers. From a distance, it is like watching rainbows stacked up on top of each other. mountains.
The knights who came from the great nobility chose to ride into King's Landing City under the most magnificent city gate. It was also the place where the people gathered the most. The small merchants and hawkers were already shouting loudly at the city gate, eager for the happy knight to suddenly have a sudden change of mind and reward him. Silver Deer and Golden Dragon, then said "No need to look for it" and left gracefully. Cheers and praises surrounded the triumphant knight like waves behind him, and then he turned into a complete idiot.
The little finger was playing with the wine glass. The red liquid inside looked like a dancing girl wrapped in red silk, which was fascinating. He drank it all in one gulp. He was extremely aware of the situation he was in. The old men of Seagull Town betrayed him, and the Narrow Sea pirates who had helped him many times were wiped out by Stannis. Lysa, who had always trusted him, was trapped in Eyrie.
Not only that, but his connections in King's Landing all distanced themselves from him after Attis organized several Golden Robes investigations into corruption among King's Landing officials. In King's Landing, Attis was like a soaring eagle, seeing all of his trump cards. It is clear that the authority of the Duke, the deterrence of the golden robe's force, and the display of the Vale Cavalry in King's Landing. Littlefinger was put on the table. Almost all the dignitaries in King's Landing and almost all the nobles in the Kingdom knew about the Duke of the Vale and the Guardian of the East. Targeting yourself.
There is no other reason.
The people the Golden Robe investigates and beheads are all those he stayed on the bright side of in King's Landing.
The same is true for brothels. Except for a few that King Robert likes to live in, almost all the properties under Littlefinger's command were overturned by the golden robes. The female branch girls who had nowhere to go were ruthlessly dismissed by the golden robes and poured into Littlefinger's remaining ones. in a brothel.
He is already under siege in King's Landing. The eagle is looking for a suitable reason. Once it is found out, it will pounce on him like thunder, grabbing his heart, liver, and flesh and blood.
He doesn't have much time and he needs someone to work with him, someone who isn't afraid of the Duke.
There was a sudden noise in the brothel, the screams of the slave girls, the yells of the customers, and the friction of the sword being withdrawn.
Littlefinger suddenly stood up, and a golden robe appeared in front of him, with black armor and golden robes, and a long sword.
"Lord Baelish, will you come with us?" The golden robe looked at him gloatingly. The other golden robes sealed the left and right sides of the little finger, and the sharp spears pointed at him mercilessly.
Littlefinger's smile was gone, and only shock remained on his face.
Varys looked silently at Attis Arryn who was cleaning the sword in front of him. His little bird always reported to him the whereabouts of threatening figures in the kingdom. Everyone in King's Landing who knew about his power hid their secrets. Whereabouts, only the new Duke of the Valley never seemed to want to hide his whereabouts.
He knew that Weimar and Robert of the Royce family had arrived in King's Landing, chopped off a group of Littlefinger's old members of Seagull Town, and brought a customs official who seemed to have surrendered to Attis. It seemed that the move was very big, and Littlefinger also He is much more low-key. He stays in one of the few brothels that has not been investigated by the Golden Robe all day and rarely goes out. He seems to be making plans. "It is said that you know everything about King's Landing, Lord Varys." Attis asked.
Varys bowed humbly and saluted, "The exaggeration of the world. If the Minister of Intelligence does not understand the intelligence of King's Landing, he should kill himself to apologize. This is my duty, Duke Attis."
"I require a testimony, Lord Varys," Attis said.
Varys smiled flatteringly on his face again, "It is an honor for me to help the Duke of the Kingdom."
"Lady Lysa and Littlefinger," Artis said.
Wallis was silent. His smooth head was particularly dazzling in the sun. Xiaoying finally wanted this message. "What do you want?"
"There are rumors in the world that Lady Lysa and Littlefinger have a relationship that is not allowed by the gods." Attis said.
"You want me."
Attis interrupted Varys, "I hope you."
Seal this relationship and completely destroy Littlefinger and Lysa who hinders you in the Vale? Varys had the answer in his mind.
"I hope you can come up with evidence with your own hands to deny this rumor." Attis' words caught Varys off guard.
"Why is it so? If you want the news not to be known to the world, just keep silent, Duke Attis." Varys waved his hand and asked doubtfully.
"Lady Lysa has never behaved like this. She is an innocent Lady of the Eyrie, at least, after her marriage." Attis replied calmly.
Varys folded his hands. He looked at Attis, with a flash of understanding in his eyes. He bowed and said, "Serving the Duke, not to mention the glory of an ancient family, why not do it?"
"What do you want? I treat this as an exchange, Varys." Attis said, his arms tensing slightly.
"How honorable and justifiable this act of Lord Attis is. I have long wanted to make friends with those who hold honor, so let's treat today as a gift to my friend." Varys said with a smile.
After Varys left, Attis stood there, with an eagle roaring in the distance. His father's teachings of "high as glory" seemed to be hidden in the distant eagle roar. Lysa Tully must be punished. , this is due to her behavior, but concealing this matter is to prevent the family's honor from being tarnished by the fish and long fingers flapping in the dirty water.
His father's death, his own murder, everything was planned by Littlefinger and had nothing to do with Lysa. The world will only know this, and sin will naturally be punished, but hidden from the world's criticism.
