Chereads / Lord Commander Of the Night Watch / Chapter 24 - chapter 24

Chapter 24 - chapter 24

"After wandering around for a long time, you just picked such a good place?"

  "Dear sister, we have visited the entire Winterfell, and there is no one in this place. "

  But there is someone downstairs, he saw us, and you talked to him! Do you really come in, walk around and then leave?"

  "Don't be afraid, if he dares to come in, I will break his neck." Zhan Mu snorted coldly, "Besides, don't you think it would be safer if there was a night watchman watching over you?"

  "It's so dirty here!"

  "Just take off your leather jacket and spread it on the ground... Come on, Stop hesitating."

  "Damn it, let me go!"

  ...

  The woman struggled, but in the end she couldn't defeat the man.

  "You always act like this, and one day you will die of your own willfulness!"

  "Maybe, who calls my good sister so charming." James said nonchalantly: "Sooner or later, people will die. Before that, , you have to enjoy your life."

  "Don't make nonsense!"

  "Okay, stop talking. Since you are worried about the man in black clothes downstairs, let's go and see him."

  "What do you want to do?" Cersei He was pushed towards the window and was shocked: "You're crazy!"

  "Don't be nervous, he can't see us."

  The two pushed and came to the window. In the old inner courtyard below, the night watchman was still looking at us. He was practicing his shooting skills one after another with no intention of raising his head or entering the first fort. In fact, since the first castle was built in front of the two walls of Winterfell, its main consideration was military function, and the window was extremely small. Even if Egger looked up from below, he could only see the queen of the Seven Kingdoms standing by the window. Looking down at himself, behind him stood the Kingsguard Jaime Lannister... As for what the two said and did, it was impossible to judge because they were all covered by the window sill.

  ***

  "Relaxed?"

  "You are simply a bastard." Cersei scolded angrily. She didn't just call him out just for messing around with Jaime today: "Don't think about these nonsense all day long, I Let me ask you, do you know if Stark promised that guy Robert?"

  "You still need to ask, with the temper of our king, if he is rejected, he will have the nerve to stay in Winterfell for more than ten days and go out happily. Hunting?" Jaime's hands continued to move: "Soon, a pure northerner will appear in the Royal Council." "

  I don't like this," Cersei said with a little sadness on her face: "Being Prime Minister It's your turn."

  "Spare me. I don't want to take on this kind of drudgery. There are so many things I want to do."

  "Can't you see the danger hidden behind it?" Cersei turned around and pushed him angrily. Didn't push it away, of course. "Robert treats that guy like a brother."

  "'Like' a brother? If I remember correctly, Robert didn't even deal with his real brother." Jaime smiled contemptuously, "But that's not the case. Blame him. Having a brother like Stannis would make anyone sick."

  "Don't be stupid. Stannis and Renly are one thing, and Eddard Stark is another. Robert will He did what he said! Both of these people deserve to go to hell. If I had known I would have insisted on him choosing you as Hand... I always thought Stark would refuse him." "

  Why do you hate Stark so much? Although I don't like it either. A pack of wolves, but this is considered lucky." James began to take off his windbreaker. For convenience, he deliberately did not wear the armor of the Kingsguard today: "By the gods, if Stark refuses, God knows what the king will do. I won't ask his brother or that little finger to be the prime minister. I would rather face an enemy who respects honor than an opponent who is ambitious and has no bottom line." "

  We have to keep an eye on him."

  "As you like, but I would rather be good Look at you," Jaime had no interest in this, "Come here, let me..."

  "There is a sound down there!" Cersei suddenly pushed her brother's shoulders to stop his next move, and approached the window again.

  "What's wrong?"

  James also leaned over: in the old inner courtyard below, the night watchman in black was still in place, but there was a child sitting on the wall next to him, who looked like a Stark. Someone, but I forgot the name.

  The night watchman was shouting something loudly at the child, as if trying to persuade the child to come down. However, the boy not only did not leave the top of the wall, but stood up, straightened his arms and walked toward the southeast like walking on a tightrope. After a while, the night watchman, who was probably worried, also left the old inner courtyard, probably going around to the other side to chase after him.

  "We're all gone, are you relieved?"

  "Relaxed?" Cersei looked away from the window, still looking serious: "How can I rest assured? Duke Eddard has never interfered in the affairs of the South, never. Let me tell you, he He must be trying to deal with us, otherwise why would

  he leave the center of his power?" "You think too much just because of your guilty conscience. His reasons for leaving the North were mostly due to sense of responsibility, sense of honor, and being unable to refuse his good brother Robert, Or they want to become a wise prime minister and go down in history, or they are at odds with each other, or even a combination of the above. Maybe they just want to find a warm place to live for a while and recuperate."

  "His wife is Mrs. Arryn's sister, Lysa. It's already rare that she didn't come here and welcome us with her accusations."

  "You think too much, Lady Arryn is just a frightened cow."

  Cersei turned her head and glared at James: " This cow slept with Jon Arryn."

  Whoever a cow sleeps with is a cow, Jaime thought, without concealing his disdain: "If she knew, she would have gone to find Jon before she left King's Landing. Bo filed a complaint."

  "When he just decided to send her useless son to Casterly Rock as an adopted son? I don't think so. She herself also knew that her son would become a hostage and threatened her not to say anything. Tell the truth. Now that she has returned to the Eagle's Nest City, I'm afraid she will become bolder."

  "All mothers are the same. I always think that giving birth will burn out the brain. You are all crazy." James almost forgot what his mother looked like. He smiled bitterly and said the word as if it was a curse. "No matter what she really knows, or how much she thinks she knows, she has no evidence." He paused for a moment, "Does she have it?" "

  Tell me, what evidence do you think the king will need?" Even if the imaginary enemy is not in front of him at all, Se Xi couldn't hide her anger: "He doesn't love me at all!"

  "Good sister, whose fault is this?"

  "You are as blind as Robert!"

  "If you mean my opinion of him Consistent, nothing wrong." "In my eyes, Eddard Stark is a man who would rather die than betray the king."

  "He has already betrayed a king. Have you forgotten? I don't deny that he is loyal to Robert. Gengar, but what if Robert dies and Little Joe takes the throne? And the sooner Robert dies, the safer we will be. My husband has been getting increasingly restless lately, and having a Stark by his side will only make things worse. He's not here yet I still love that dead sixteen-year-old girl. Who knows that one day he will abandon me for the new Lyanna?"

  "Don't worry about the future, think more about the present."

  "Young Master Say such things!" the woman scolded.

  There was silence in the house, and then the shouts of the night watchman came from the window again.

  ...

  "Good sister, I'm tired of hearing all these disappointing things."

  "Damn, it's cold on the wall -"

  "What happened again, James, stop, go and see what's going on." !" Cersei hurriedly pushed her brother away and commanded nervously.

  "Damn it." The Kingslayer walked towards the window angrily, vowing to make the Night Watchman look good if he had the chance.

  He looked under the first fort and saw that the man in black who had been training underneath was back there again, raising his head and waving to him: "Come down quickly, it's too dangerous!"

  What the hell? A little soldier dares to point fingers at himself?

  The King Slayer was confused by this meaningless sentence. He hesitated for a moment and didn't know how to respond. Then he quickly realized: This is not talking to him. The naughty kid was climbing the first fort!

  He put his head out of the window, looked around the wall beside the window, and finally found his target - the boy who was on the top of the wall of the old inner courtyard below a moment ago was on the gargoyle outside the wall of his floor. Swing from one to the other, approaching the window you are in!

  Jaime is shocked, Cersei is still in the house, the two cannot be seen!

  "What are you doing there? Get down quickly!"

  The boy was trying to perform a few stunts on the nagging night watchman on the ground to shut him up, but he had no choice but to expect that the first fort had already been abandoned. There was someone inside. When James's face suddenly popped out of the window and looked at him, he met his eyes. He was frightened and lost his balance. His waving hands failed to grasp anything, so he screamed like this. Then he fell from the outer wall of the first fort.

  "Hey -"

  James didn't expect things to develop like this. It was too late to reach out and he stood in front of the window with his mouth half open. Seeing the boy's thin figure falling to the ground, the man suddenly remembered his name.
