Chapter 269 Morgan's chance, Duke's flaw!

"What do you say, Lord Stark?"

Jaime Lannister looked at Eddard Stark and asked slightly provocatively.

The voice fell.

The expressions of everyone present changed.

Eddard Stark frowned and looked at the "Kingslayer" Jaime Lannister who played cards out of line.

He really didn't expect the other party to raise this question at this time.

In Winterfell, although the other party mentioned it, he was blocked by Morgan.

I thought that the other party had no such mind.

I didn't expect the other party to bring it up at this time.

But he was a little hard to refuse.

If she refuses, Queen Cersei Lannister can obviously use her daughter Arya's direwolf to bite Prince Joffrey to increase the punishment or something.

Because the words that his eldest daughter, Sansa Stark, stood up and said just now, have already put him at a disadvantage.

Regardless of the process, the fact that Prince Joffrey's hand was bitten.

But if he agrees at this time.

There was no way Morgan could fight for him.

Because this is the two that James Lannister clearly invited him to compete.

No one else can replace it.

And if he really participates in the competition, then no matter whether he wins or loses, he is a loser.

Think about it, what is Eddard Stark's identity, the guardian of the north, the king of the north, the Duke of Winterfell, and now he has become the new prime minister of the kingdom.

And what is Jaime Lannister's identity, the eldest son and heir of the Lannister family in Casterly Rock City, but after joining the Kingsguard, this eldest son has been abolished.

Because the oath of being the Kingsguard is partly the same as being the Night's Watch on the Wall.

"No lands, no wives, no children"

The difference is just being the Night's Watch and being loyal to the Night's Watch.

By becoming the Kingsguard, you will always be loyal to the monarch and king.

Known as the "white knight", the Kingsguard is still very honorable, and it is the dream of too many young people.

But to become a glorious "white knight", he broke his oath and killed his monarch from behind.

Even King Robert Baratheon pardoned Jaime Lannister.

But "Kingslayer", a nickname full of contempt and contempt, will always accompany Jaime Lannister in his life.

Of course, even without the title "Kingslayer".

Jaime Lannister is also completely incomparable to Eddard Stark.

Because the two are not on the same level at all, not on the same level.

Therefore, as long as Eddard Stark agrees to the test, he will be the biggest loser no matter whether he wins or loses.

Take advantage of this time to put forward such a test.

Obviously not just simply looking for trouble, the deep meaning should be that he is dissatisfied with his coming to King's Landing to become the Prime Minister of the Royal Palace, but also wants to damage his reputation.

Thinking of this, Eddard Stark looked up at Queen Cersei Lannister.

There was a smug smile on his face.

You can refuse, but the other party will definitely do it by proposing conditions to punish Arya.

"Damn. These guys"

Just when Eddard Stark was in a dilemma.

Morgan on the side was also observing Jaime Lannister and Queen Cersei Lannister.

Looking at the smile on the face of the queen behind, Morgan immediately knew that they were obviously colluding.

With Eddard Stark's conservativeness and stability, how could he possibly agree to a contest with a "King Killer".

The other party must have thought of this too.

The final result is that Arya, who caused Prince Joffrey's bite, may be punished more severely.

Just used Sansa Stark's lie testimonies.

Cersei Lannister took the opportunity to throw two extremely bad choices for Eddard Stark to choose.

This is King Robert Baratheon, and it is not good to be too partial to Eddard Stark.

And under such circumstances, in his current status, there is also the invitation method specially explained by James Lannister.

Morgan really couldn't speak for Eddard Stark like he did at the dinner party that night.

"It's insidious"

Morgan quickly figured out what's in it, and couldn't help thinking secretly in his heart.

However, he is not a person from this world, let alone a swordsman in the traditional sense of this world.

There are some etiquette rules in this world, he will obey when necessary.

But when it comes to his future road plans, he will not hesitate to break the "rules" of this world.

At this moment, most of the people in the king's tent looked at Eddard Stark who was being challenged.

Even King Robert Stark frowned and looked at Jaime Lannister, then looked at his old friend Eddard Stark with a solemn expression.

With his eyes, he naturally also saw that this was a problem aimed at his old friend.

"Sir Jaime Lannister"

at this time.

A sudden voice suddenly rang out.

Morgan said and patted Arya on the shoulder in front of him. Although she didn't know what happened suddenly, Arya immediately stepped aside wisely.

At this moment, all eyes are now on Morgan.

When James Lannister saw this Morgan standing up again, he felt a bad premonition in his heart.

Queen Cersei Lannister frowned slightly as she watched the handsome and extraordinary marksman speak out at this time.

When King Robert Baratheon saw Morgan, he seemed to think of something right away, and his expression was a little expectant.

Eddard Stark looked at Morgan, and his mind immediately remembered the scene at the banquet where he greeted the king at Winterfell.

Knowing that Morgan has always been reliable, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone watched Morgan stand out rudely.

Although there is dissatisfaction on the Lannister side.

But neither the king nor the queen spoke.

No one dared to speak.

In the eyes of everyone, Morgan stood beside Eddard Stark, smiled and looked at Jaime Lannister in front of him, and said again: "I heard that Sir Jaime Lannister has superb swordsmanship and is famous in the Seven Kingdoms, I wonder if I am fortunate enough to compete with Your Excellency in the Tournament Tournament?"

Morgan's voice fell.

The entire royal tent immediately became extremely quiet.

But only for a moment.

The crowd reacted.

Jaime Lannister looked at Morgan who suddenly challenged him with a bad expression.

Queen Cersei Lannister frowned even more, looking at this unreasonable Morgan.

She still admired the marksman before.

but now

Cersei Lannister watched Morgan frown and was about to speak.

Then I heard King Robert Baratheon, who was squeezed into the large seat, suddenly said loudly: "I think this is very good."

"The contest between the marksman and the Royal Guard is still very interesting."

Hearing that the king's husband was so obviously partial to Eddard Stark, Queen Cersei Lannister immediately interjected in dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, this is out of order."

"No, I'm talking about the rules."

"It's set like this, the time is set. It's set today in a month's time."

Robert Baratheon ignored the Queen's words again and waved his hand.

Seeing that this matter had become a foregone conclusion, Cersei Lannister had to turn back to the incident where her son was bitten again, and said, "Well, Joffrey's scar will last a lifetime, how are we going to punish that savage child? "

"Then what do you want from me?"

Robert Baratheon squinted at his queen, and said angrily, "Will you whip that child to show the public?"

"It's just a fight between the kids, that's all."

Robert Baratheon was obviously a little impatient with the Queen's wife, stood up and waved and said he was about to leave.

Seeing the king's anger, Queen Cersei Lannister had no choice but to retreat and say, "What about the direwolf?"

"What about the beast that bit your son?"

Hearing the Queen's words, King Robert Baratheon stopped immediately.

"I almost forgot about that beast."

Robert Baratheon said and glanced at his old friend Eddard Stark, then looked at the captain of the guard.

The captain of the guard said quickly: "We didn't find that direwolf, Your Majesty."

"Didn't find it?"

"let it go."

Robert Baratheon said casually.

Just before she finished speaking, Queen Cersei Lannister spoke again: "Isn't there another one?"

Hearing this, King Robert turned his head and glanced at the queen, and could only say: "You can do it."

After saying that, he walked out.

The king was angry because the thoughtful queen wanted to target Eddard Stark, an old friend he had brought in to help him.

But the prince, whose son Joffrey was also bitten, should have something to say as a father.

Even if the son is no longer a weapon.

Moreover, the object of punishment is only a beast.

Robert Baratheon passed in front of Eddard Stark, looked at his old friend and said, "Edde, the direwolf is not a pet, please change her to a dog."

After the king finished speaking, he strode towards the door of the king's tent.

Inside the king's tent.

Sansa Stark finally reacted at this time: "Did His Majesty say the lady? (The five children of the Stark family, each of whom has a dire wolf picked up since childhood, Sansa Stark direwolf named "lady")"

"No, no, the lady didn't bite, don't kill the lady!"

Sansa Stark hurriedly spoke up.

Arya on the side also shouted angrily again: "It's not fair that the lady is not there."

"Save her, save the lady's father!"

Sansa Stark looked anxiously at the king who was walking away, pulling her father's arm with tears in her eyes and said anxiously.

Eddard Stark immediately turned to look at the king.

The direwolf is the crest of his family Stark, and killing a direwolf is bad luck.

"Your Majesty, is this the final decision?"

Hearing Eddard Stark's voice, King Robert Baratheon turned his head at the door of the king's tent, glanced at his old friend helplessly, turned around and walked out of the king's tent without saying anything.

Seeing help to the king to no avail.

The most excited Sansa Stark had to cry and look at Queen Cersei Lannister, who was "amiable" in her eyes, and cried urgently: "Please, Your Majesty, don't kill the lady, don't."

The final punishment comes out.

The three Stark family obviously couldn't accept it.

Morgan just stood by and watched.

He could very boldly seize the opportunity to challenge Jaime Lannister before, in order to relieve Eddard Stark's dilemma.

But now that the Queen's party wants to kill the direwolf, he can't help.

Especially in Morgan's view.

The other party's request to kill the direwolf is not excessive.

Because Joffrey, the prince and heir to the king, was bitten.

In such a hierarchical world.

No matter how rude Prince Joffrey is, it is a fact that Arya Stark's direwolf bites Joffrey.

Besides, Arya wasn't injured yet.

There is no problem with King Robert Baratheon's disposal.

He stopped his wife, the queen, from trying to find trouble with his former prime minister.

I also made a final decision for this farce, after all, only a direwolf died in the end.

But it seems a little unacceptable to the three Stark family.

From Arya Stark's point of view, this time Prince Joffrey deliberately made trouble, and it was all Joffrey's fault. She should not be punished, even if it was a dire wolf.

But for Sansa Stark, it was an extremely regrettable, cruel truth.

She lied to get closer to the queen and the prince, so that when Joffrey became an adult, she could become a queen smoothly, which was her dream all along.

So, she lied when her sister needed help before.

But he didn't expect the final punishment to fall on the direwolf "lady" who he raised since childhood.

She was very regretful at this time.

She can't accept it.

As for Eddard Stark's performance when he just turned around to ask for help from the king.

For the first time, Morgan, who was on the sidelines, felt that the Duke of Winterfell, who had a high-ranking position and a calm personality, made a good impression on him, and seemed to be less "sensitive" when it came to the matter of Prince Joffrey being bitten.

The reason why Morgan dared to stand up very rudely and boldly before and challenged Kingsguard Jaime Lannister.

It was he who believed that King Robert Baratheon would never want to see his former Prime Minister compete with a "Kingslayer" in a tournament.

As a result, he bet right.

A month later, the competition with Kingsguard Jaime Lannister.

Definitely the biggest bargain Morgan has ever made in this world.

Back to the point.

King Robert Baratheon has obviously been favoring the Stark family in the handling of this incident.

Even the queen's pressing against the Stark family was resolved by him.

But after all, it was the prince, or her own son who was bitten, and the queen finally compromised until she clenched the direwolf tightly.

Robert Baratheon finally nodded.

In Morgan's view, such a disposal has been very large, and there is no problem.

After all, only a direwolf died in the end.

But Duke Eddard Stark didn't seem to realize this, which was the reason why he asked the king for help before.

In Morgan's opinion, Eddard Stark should accept the final result generously and apologize to the queen. After all, it is a fact that Prince Joffrey was bitten by Arya's direwolf.

Finally, after returning to King's Landing, I will slowly deal with the queen who I obviously don't deal with.

This is the idea and way of doing things of a qualified minister of the kingdom.

Of course, Morgan couldn't understand what the Starks thought of the direwolf, the family crest.

Back to the king's tent.

Facing the begging and crying of Sansa Stark, who was used up not long ago.

Queen Cersei Lannister did not react at all.

When Eddard Stark walked out of the tent alone.

When the pain and screams of the direwolf came from outside the king tent.

Arya Stark was angry with tears in her eyes, and Sansa Stark burst into tears instantly.

At this point, this farce finally came to an end.
