early morning.
A light mist enveloped the entire King's Landing.
As time passes day by day.
The weather is getting colder.
A round of soft light rose quietly in the eastern sky.
The golden sunlight shines on the majestic royal castle of King's Landing in the morning mist, as if it has been illuminated by a layer of golden light, hazy and extraordinarily beautiful.
Give your beloved horse "Carrot" to the attendant.
Morgan strode towards the main entrance of the Red Keep.
He became famous thanks to a battle in the tournament.
Because they looked familiar, the guards at all levels not only did not stop Morgan when they saw his handsome face, but also chatted enthusiastically from time to time.
After all, compared to those high-minded and indifferent nobles or high-ranking ministers of the kingdom.
Grassroots legends like Morgan who became famous from the tourney obviously made the guards feel closer.
In addition, Morgan has a kind attitude towards these low-level guards.
Makes the guards feel good about Morgan.
In the friendly greeting, Morgan passed the last door and finally stepped into the palace.
A pretty, young maid just walked over to Morgan from the opposite passage.
Looking at the maid who suddenly appeared.
Morgan immediately remembered the identity of the other party. It was the maid invited by Queen Cersei Lannister to the banquet held a few days ago in the banquet hall of the Red Keep to celebrate the success of the tourney.
He looked at the other party walking straight towards him.
Morgan immediately thought to himself: "Could it be sent by Cersei Lannister again?"
The maid who walked quickly did not hesitate, she came directly to Morgan and said softly: "Your Excellency Morgan, Her Majesty the Queen, please come over."
"really..."
After hearing the maid's words, Morgan understood.
It's just that the first time he met Queen Cersei Lannister a few days ago, she had a crush on her.
Although the other party wants something from her and wants to be loyal to her.
But I have no such thoughts at all, and if I think about it, I am just hanging on to the other party.
Plus a few days ago.
In front of the "Colored Forest" brothel, he helped Eddard Stark kill important retainers such as "The Mountain" Gregor Clegane who was loyal to the Lannister family.
At the same time, it shattered Jaime Lannister's plan to deal with Eddard Stark.
Although even though he did not go to the Red Keep with Ed Stark afterwards, he expressed his attitude.
But after all, he helped Ed Stark deal with the Lannister family.
under such circumstances.
Morgan really didn't want to see Queen Cersei Lannister again.
After all, if the other party asks me to be loyal to her this time, I really have no suitable excuse to make.
But it is not appropriate to refuse directly.
After all, he hasn't planned to completely fall out with Cersei Lannister or the Lannister family behind her.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind quickly.
Morgan looked at the young maid with a lot of freckles on her face and said, "Oh, but I'm afraid this time is a little inappropriate."
"I came today at the invitation of His Majesty the King to accompany him on a hunting trip outside the city."
"It's getting late now, and His Majesty the King is probably already waiting."
The maid in front of her represented Queen Cersei Lannister, and Morgan could only politely express the inconvenience of refusing.
Hearing Morgan's words, the maid immediately smiled, showing some uneven teeth and said: "Her Majesty the Queen said that if Your Majesty Morgan mentions this matter, please don't worry, His Majesty the King will not blame you afterwards."
Hear this.
Morgan still didn't understand that the other party was obviously prepared this time.
It seems that I can't do it without seeing the queen.
Morgan was depressed and unhappy. Having said this, he could not refuse. He could only accept his fate and said: "I see. Then let's go and take me to see Her Majesty the Queen."
Seeing Morgan's slightly helpless expression, the little maid smiled again: "Mr. Morgan, please follow me."
With that said, he turned around and walked towards the palace.
Morgan could only follow behind the opponent.
Following the maid all the way towards the depths of the palace, looking at the path, Morgan saw that it should lead to the castle where the queen was last time.
Through gardens, attics, small squares...
Morgan was also quickly thinking of countermeasures.
Speaking of these three days.
He is addicted to hatching eggs at home.
Not only did I not go to the "Love Coast" to find my little lover to sleep with.
Nor did he go to the "Colored Forest" to find "Littlefinger" Petyr Baelish, who serves as the Kingdom's Finance Minister, to inquire about what was going on in the Red Castle.
But he knew the seriousness of Jaime Lannister's siege on Eddard Stark three days ago.
Now I don't know the situation at all, and the feeling of darkness is really uncomfortable.
In the past, when he was at Stark Castle, Kelson would tell him some news in the Red Keep from time to time, and Ed Stark would also say something from time to time, so that Morgan would not be ignorant of the situation in the palace. known.
Now it seemed that if he wanted to know the situation in the Red Keep, besides asking Petyr Baelish, the "Littlefinger" who was already a friend, he could only go to the underground black market to directly purchase information.
But this also made Morgan clearly understand a truth.
That is, if he is not strong enough and his identity is not important enough, unless he chooses to work for others again, such as Queen Cersei Lannister, such as King Robert Baratheon, otherwise he will continue to stay in King's Landing for how many years. To no avail.
"It seems it's time to leave King's Landing..."
"Leave King's Landing, go to Slaver's Bay, and buy the best and best warrior, the Unsullied..."
This is Morgan's next plan.
However, the reason why he stayed in King's Landing was that he wanted to familiarize himself with the situation in King's Landing and make good friends with some of the kingdom's ministers. After all, he knew that the current king, Robert Baratheon, seemed not to live long.
Secondly, he wanted to gain fame so that he could be more able to cause trouble in the future.
Now the glorious reputation of "Triple Crown" obtained through the tournament has been achieved.
The other thing is to make money, to make as much money as possible to buy the "Unsullied" and prepare for future military expenses.
Currently, his dimensional ring contains 80,000 gold dragon coins as a reward from the tournament. Adding in the original property in his ring, the total is probably close to 90,000 gold dragon coins.
To an individual, 90,000 gold dragon coins sounds like an absolutely astronomical amount of wealth.
But for Morgan's future plans, such a small amount of Golden Dragon coins is far from enough.
You know, just buying the "Unsullied" is already very expensive...
"etc..."
"The Unsullied" comes to mind.
Morgan immediately remembered that Daenerys Targaryen seemed to have gone to Astapor in Slaver's Bay to purchase the Unsullied.
The other party not only exchanged one dragon for all the Unsullied of the "Astabo" slave owner.
In the end, the dragon was made to breathe fire and kill the slave owner.
Morgan, who tried hard to remember this incident, couldn't help but feel a little scared.
If he had continued to stay in King's Landing, if Daenerys Targaryen had arrived in Astapor before him and done this.
Then his planned plan will come to nothing.
If the other party takes the lead.
It's good to be able to hatch dragon eggs yourself.
If the dragon egg fails to hatch and the "Unsullied" army is robbed again, Morgan will really want to cry without tears.
Until then, he will think of things and make trouble again.
The difficulty will be increased countless times.
Think of this.
Morgan suddenly felt a little lucky because he was originally interested in Daenerys Targaryen's dragons and paid more attention to them before he could remember this matter.
"It seems that I have to leave King's Landing as soon as possible."
"But before leaving, he has to go to the underground black market first..."
It quickly became extremely clear in my mind.
Morgan was secretly thinking about his next plan.
The little maid leading the way has stopped.
Morgan, who noticed the movement, raised his head and found that he was standing in front of the exquisite castle gate that he had visited last time.
"Mr. Morgan, please come in..."
The maid continued moving forward as she spoke, and Morgan followed.
Soon, the two of them walked up to the second floor of the castle.
But this time, the maid led Morgan straight past the last room and came to the door of a semi-open balcony room.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Morgan is here."
In front of the door, the little maid spoke respectfully.
Soon, a voice came from the room.
After the little maid responded respectfully, she nodded politely to Morgan and left here immediately.
Watch the little maid leave.
Morgan took a deep breath and stepped forward to open the door.
The first thing you see when you enter the door.
Morgan saw Queen Cersei Lannister in an exquisite burgundy robe, lazily reclining on a lounge chair.
Then I noticed the difference in this room.
The decoration is equally luxurious, but the room in front of you is more like a semi-open balcony.
The balcony was covered with long white gauze as curtains.
When the wind blows, the gauze curtains flutter, and combined with the beautiful scenery of green trees outside, this room is definitely a perfect place to relax.
Even in winter, the cold wind is freezing.
But the large fireplace on one side of the room can ensure the temperature in this room.
Just like now, the fire in the large fireplace on one side is bright and warm.
Even if the cold wind wasn't blowing the large white gauze curtains, Morgan could still feel the warmth in the room.
"It's been a few days, you must have thought about it?"
Just as Morgan was looking at this creative room, Queen Cersei Lannister on the bench suddenly spoke.
"Well..."
His eyes fell again on the queen who was wearing a burgundy fitted robe in front of her, outlining her graceful and plump figure, her fair and delicate face, and her cold, graceful and noble temperament.
Morgan said calmly: "This is not a trivial matter after all. Her Majesty the Queen should still consider it..."
It seemed like there was a further level of skin-to-skin contact.
When Morgan faced the queen in front of him again, his mentality and tone were obviously different from the first time.
"Hmph, Morgan, I can give you time to think about it."
"But what did you think about it?"
Hearing Morgan's words, Cersei Lannister immediately stood up and watched Morgan snort coldly, saying in a cold voice: "You actually helped Eddard Stark deal with James, and also killed Gregor. Li Gang, is this how you think about it?”
"Or do you think you can go against the Lannister family like Stark?"
"Or do you think I will have to do it with you?"
Cersei Lannister's voice was cold and her face was cold.
Morgan knew that if he couldn't tell the reason and give a reasonable explanation, the other party would definitely turn his anger on him this time.
"of course not..."
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no ill will toward you or the Lannister family."
"That day was just a coincidence."
"I just came out of the brothel that morning when I encountered that scene."
"You know, I have served Lord Eddard Stark before, and it was Lord Stark's recommendation that I can participate in the tournament."
"In that case, if I see Lord Stark being attacked and remain indifferent and watch with cold eyes, what will others think of me?"
"They will say that I am ruthless and have no sense of honor as a knight..."
"After all, Lord Stark was kind to me before..."
"If I really just watch with cold eyes, I believe this is not what Her Majesty the Queen wants to see..."
"After all, loyalty is the most important thing to us..."
"..."
Morgan immediately organized the words he had thought up on the way here and slowly said them.
Cersei Lannister listened. Although her expression remained cold until the end, Morgan could clearly feel that the other party was obviously not as angry as before.
"Smooth tongue..."
After a while, Cersei Lannister said coldly.
But it made Morgan feel happy.
Obviously, the Queen's decision to help Ed Stark passed the test.
"But no matter how eloquent you are, you can't hide the fact that you killed Gregor Clegane the Mountain..."
"Morgan, how do you think this matter should be settled?"
Cersei Lannister was not that easy to fool. Seeing the slight change in the relaxed expression on Morgan's face, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said coldly again.
Talk about it.
Cersei. Lannister was not as angry as Morgan thought about Morgan helping Eddard Stark this time.
Just like what Morgan said just now, if he really watched Ed Stark being attacked and just stood aside.
Her interest and perception of Morgan would definitely plummet.
After all, "loyalty" is what major families need from mercenaries like Morgan.
Even the Stark family that Morgan just left.
He can still show his loyalty to House Stark.
When Morgan becomes loyal to him, his loyalty will belong to her.
This is why Cersei Lannister can forgive Morgan.
As for Morgan's killing of "The Mountain" Gregor Clegane, it is even more insignificant.
The fact that Gregor Clegane could be killed by Morgan means that he is inferior to Morgan.
Besides, although that guy has good strength, he has a bad temper.
When her temper gets worse, sometimes she doesn't even listen to her as the queen.
Now there is Morgan who is stronger, has better brains, and has better abilities.
Gregor Clegane is dead.
After all, he is just one of many mercenaries loyal to House Lannister.
To put it bluntly, it's just a dog.
At most, it's just a stronger dog.
No pity.
As for Cersei Lannister calling Morgan here, it was not to raise an army to hold him accountable.
But more for her husband: King Robert Baratheon.
She had had enough of that rude and disgusting fat man.
Therefore, among the attendants who followed the king to hunt outside the city this time, there were people she specially arranged.
She was going to arrange a perfect accident this time in order to get rid of the fat man like a stallion.
And if Morgan follows.
With his strong skills in swordsmanship and archery, he might be able to destroy her carefully prepared "husband-killing plan".
This is why she must have kept Morgan absent from the king's hunt today.
Everything else is secondary to this.
Thinking of this, the viciousness in Cersei Lannister's eyes flashed away, and a seductive sneer appeared on her fair and pretty face as she looked at Morgan: "Have you thought about it?"
