Chapter 546
2021-01-06
Chapter 546 Thieves and Thieves The playful look on Queen's face dissipated, and Petyr covered it in distress. Stopping his forehead, Varys's mouth showed an almost imperceptible smile. The room became absolute silence again. Unsullied soldiers who could not understand common language glanced around and waited for their colleagues to translate oneself. Those who understood all turned their attention to the monarch. How could there be any other people around? Explain the mind?
brows slightly wrinkle , Daenerys understands that oneself has a problem.
Judging from the information currently on the surface, Unsullied really caught Arya by mistake, and oneself, as a guest, is really rude... It stands to reason that the one who made the mistake bowed his head and apologized, No problem at all.
But she impossible to agree to the request.
It was the Queen Guard who arrested Arya. They overreacted because of Supreme's concern for the safety of oneself. If there was a misunderstanding, they would have to apologize in public. Miss House Stark's grievance is gone. , Where should the grievances of the soldiers of the Guards go? Once this mouth is opened, the Unsullied will be forced to trembling with fear when they find suspicious situations when they are on duty in the future. Personal safety cannot be guaranteed at all!
even more how, everyone knows the truth about House Stark's allegiance, but it's just not to say it on Igor's face. Not standing in line in time but still being forgiven and accepted, fortunate and grateful are almost the same, how can there be a reason why you can't bear a little grievance?
If the person who made this request was from House Stark, Daenerys would definitely turn his face on the spot, ordered their entire family to be arrested and sent to the dungeon, turned around and gave the name of North's guardian to House Bolton... ...But, it was the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch that she had the most high hopes for, the most valued and loved, and the actual controller of Winterfell at the moment.
Yes, Unsullied gets angry; refuses, it conflicts with Igor... How should I choose?
This guy, did he simply not realize how inappropriate oneself's request was, or did he have a good relationship with House Stark...and protect this shortcoming even if he contradicted oneself?
If the former, then this person is probably not as smart as oneself imagined; and if the latter, it means that his loyalty to oneself is not as fiery and firm as previously expected.
A faint disappointment floated through Daenerys' mind, which quickly transformed into a vague displeasure and exasperation. She tried her best to suppress her negative emotions... The great cause is not yet complete, she still needs this man for the time being, so she will tolerate his offense this time.
After all, she's not the 15-year-old princess she was when she was just starting out. Slaver's Bay's brief reign was not a glorious resume, but it gave Dany some experience in dealing with embarrassing situations. After a moment of expressionless silence, she thought of a way to round the field.
……
Under all eyes, Queen stood up from her seat, walked down the short Level 1 steps, and walked gracefully to the field at a moderate pace, Glancing at Igor meaningfully, he turned to Arya with a warm smile.
"Miss Stark, I'm sorry for what happened today, but I hope you can understand that my guards were just doing their duty, they didn't do anything wrong, and there was no way to Who apologized." Daenerys, five years older than Arya but only half a head above her head, placed her right hand on the girl's shoulder and whispered, "But you did get rude and inappropriate treatment. It's true, I've thought about it, but I can't put the blame on others. This is because I was negligent in giving orders and didn't take into account the interference that my existence would cause to you and your family's normal life... Here, I A very formal request: I hope you can forgive me this time for the sake of my unintentional mistake, okay?"
Bah, no!
Arya used all her self-control to not spit out, subconsciously shrinking her shoulders to take a step back to avoid Daenerys' near touch, but was blocked by Petyr who was standing at the back, and had no choice but to do nothing. Face to face with the Dragon Queen. Reaching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, looking at the soft smile of the other person's close proximity, two thoughts of unfathomable mystery popped out of his mind uncontrollably.
This Mad King's daughter looks more beautiful up close than far away... Also, she doesn't seem crazy.
For some reason, Arya felt her face heat up, suppressing the gratuitous goodwill and a bunch of messy thoughts, she realized that this was the result of Perfection that far exceeded expectations, mother and elder. The sister younger brother is still in the castle, she finally impossible to anger each other on purpose.
"Okay, I...forgive you." Having said that, Arya still wrote reluctance all over her face, retaining the last bit of stubbornness.
"Thank you." Daenerys looked delighted, "Have you eaten breakfast, okay?"
No! Arya was about to make an excuse to refuse, but suddenly thought of another thing: "Wait, my sword!"
"I'll ask Missandei to take him back to your room, let's go, my stomach is full It's calling." Daenerys didn't wait for the other party to answer, took one of her arms, and didn't look at Petyr and Igor's faces, just like an elder sister who had known each other for many years, pulling the blank-faced Arya lined the crowd and walked out the door.
No one expected this ending.
Missandei hurriedly chased after "Needle", and the Unsullieds quickly lined up to follow. Even Varys stood there looking thoughtful for two seconds and left without saying a word.
The "Winter Queen's Hall" with swords drawn and bows bent was still in the air a moment ago, and bits and pieces were scattered in an instant, and only Igor and Petyr were left in the end.
......
"What are you doing crazy!" Littlefinger was stunned for a while, then complained angrily, "If Your Majesty didn't respond in time and figured out a way to resolve the embarrassment, How did you plan to end it? I explained it to the Queen before you entered the house just now, Your Majesty already believes that Arya is not an assassin, and the child will be fine today. Varys just expects us to care and makes some stupid tricks , you're good, you can't even stop him and rushed into the trap, right in his arms!"
"Sir Petyr, you are right, but I don't want to discuss this topic any more today, please forgive me. "Igor replied with a stern face, turned around and walked towards the door that had been closed by the wind.
(I dignified Hand of the Queen, I said something to you with good intentions, but you are playing with me?)
Petyr immediately became furious, but the confrontation just ended. The method was not only surprising, but also made him re-examine the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch - facing his blatant offense, Daenerys was obviously angry, but not only did not get angry, but also managed to smooth the field to avoid the escalation of the conflict... This kind of seemingly The ingenious countermeasure, which is close to submit to humiliation, is definitely not just about the thousands of people who control Winterfell. There is only one explanation: Igor's status and importance in the Queen's heart, I am afraid it must be above the expectations of oneself and Varys, so much that Daenerys I would rather take a step back, and I don't want to have a conflict with him who is angry and stiffen the relationship.
If even Queen herself doesn't want to get angry with Igor, then what is the capital of oneself, the Hand of the Queen, that is more capricious than her?
Gritting his teeth, Littlefinger swallowed his anger, followed Igor's pace, organized the language, and spoke again in a softer tone.
"Your Majesty was laughing just now, but she was extremely unhappy! You made at least two mistakes, one was that you indiscriminately took 'Arya today to protect me from the door. Put it on your face and make Your Majesty feel like you value House Stark more than loyalty to her. She's not fake, but she's also a woman, you know what kind of creature a woman is Is it - even if they are innocent and have no personal relationships, they can't stand others putting another same-sex before oneself, which will arouse their instinctive jealousy and resentment!"
"The second mistake Just asking the black shell to apologize to Arya, what are you thinking? Queen Guard, if there is no exceptional privilege for law enforcement and handling affairs, is it still called Queen Guard! Not to mention Arya, an irrelevant little girl, it is you, me, Varys and even Robb, who was aggrieved by eating deflated in front of Unsullied, had to swallow obediently. If the one sitting in front was not the Queen but her father 'Mad King 'Aerys · Targaryen, just say this to you, he will be on the spot Order someone to take you down, hang you, and burn you to death! You are provoking the wrath of True Dragon... If Your Majesty got angry on the spot, she might just let it go, but she suppressed her displeasure with reason. On the contrary, it's even worse, based on what I know about her... Hey, are you listening to me?"
The two walked out of the guest room one after the other, facing the cold wind and seeing the hurried running Lady Catelyn who came to Arya - because the guards and servants up and down Winterfell were all replaced by Igor, House Stark, as the titular master, actually had no eyes and eyes in the castle, so that his daughter had an accident , it was later than the two outsiders Petyr and Igor learned.
The next scene is more interesting: the mother, who rushed over anxiously to save her daughter, met Daenerys and Arya, who were arm-armed and "close" like sisters. After a few words, she quickly relaxed and joined in. Among them, it seems that most of them were also invited by Queen to share breakfast.
"I'm listening, Prime Minister." Igor calmed down a little, and tried to endure his irritability. After all, it's not time to turn against your allies, "You're right, I did lose self-control just now in the face of Your Majesty. But I have to ask the adults, you said that you will keep an eye on and guard against Varys, Where did the defense go?"
"I guessed that he would use this kind of trick, but unfortunately I didn't come up with a good defense method, and I didn't expect Arya to be killed so quickly. Catch it." Petyr was really helpless at this point, after all, as a friend, he could not have ordered Arya to stop running around with the sword, "but no matter how Varys jumps up and down, as long as we stick to Robb and bring the North princes back to Winterfell, we will win... ..."
"Win for the time being." Igor corrected Littlefinger's words, "Where I come from, there is a saying, 'Only a thousand days can be a thief, but no one can prevent a thousand thieves', adults can understand What do you mean?"
"The thief can stare at the target every day, but the thief is impossible to guard every day. Defending is not as good as attacking, the best defense is to let the other party have no time to distract himself to deal with oneself, I Isn't it just because I understand this truth that I'm working hard on the positive side?"
"I don't doubt this, but unfortunately, I suddenly realized that if the Prime Minister's previous judgment is true, then the opponent Weaknesses are simply beyond our reach." Igor said coldly, "As long as Aegon Targaryen doesn't die, Varys is not a loser, and what about us? Even if it is delayed until Robb leads the North princes back and sends them to other places. The messenger group also sent back most of the good news, so eunuch will also make a fuss about families such as Karstark who refuse to be loyal to the Queen, when the time comes whether it is a fight or a talk and then discuss for a while, and there will be some moths during the period. The official start of the southern expedition is far away. Have you ever thought about it: solve the problem once and for all?"
