Chapter 41 Former Prime Minister

He did not expect the Targaryen family to complete the Jedi counterattack in such a bad situation.

Ser Barristan the Fearless had thought that Targaryen was over.

Loyal to the Iron Throne, he once wanted to die for the Targaryen dynasty.

But he did not think that his bravery convinced Robert Baratheon, so he pardoned his crime and asked Barristan Selmy to become the captain of the new king's Kingsguard.

The white-robed knight was holding the hilt of his sword with one hand, looking at the knocked-down table, the spilled wine, the paperwork stuck to the wine and scattered on the floor, the trembling grandmasters and waiters, and a man who was in a rage. new king.

His beard and hair swirl like a steel ball, and his tall and sturdy body is covered with a big cloak, like a brown bear in madness, full of rage.

He kept smashing the items in the room, making a loud sound that could be heard clearly outside the hall.

And looking around, there are all messes in the eyes.

However, the white-robed knight looked at everything in front of him quietly, holding the hilt with one hand without saying a word, let alone persuading the king to calm down.

The crow's feet at the corners of the knight's eyes were a bit deep, and the light blue eyes were deep, and then he lowered his head and glanced at the floor under his feet.

He sighed softly and couldn't help but fall into the memory.

This scene.

He felt a little familiar.

Another king he served, and the previous owner of this room, Aerys II Targaryen, known as the "Mad King", often lashed out in this room.

And then smashed the place into a mess, even ordering those who offended him to be burned alive with 'wildfire' because he liked the sound of torment.

Barristan thought that the era of Targaryen had passed, and that Aerys II, the Mad King, had already died under the sword of the King Killer, and he might never see this scene again from now on.

However, he did not expect that in just over half a year, he would see such a familiar scene again.

"Ser Barristan Selmy the 'Fearless'!"

And at this time.

King Robert, who was pacing and smashing in rage, suddenly stopped abruptly.

Immediately, he raised his head and looked at the captain of the Kingsguard who was standing at the door with a handwritten letter from Stannis in one hand.

The king's voice was low and powerful.

Although it seemed that Robert had controlled his temper on the surface, he could still hear the boundless anger in his irritable voice.

However, the difference from the "Mad King" is that Robert does not spread his anger on irrelevant people.

Not to mention burning people alive for fun.

"His Majesty."

After hearing King Robert's voice, Sir Barristan recovered slightly and put down the Stannis's handwritten letter in his hand.

Then he raised his head and looked directly at the king without any deviation.

"Go to the Prime Minister's Tower and invite Lord Jon Arryn over here!"

"I have something very important to discuss with him."

King Robert's voice was loud and deafening, like the great church bell.

He seemed to have made a very important decision in his heart, and then he couldn't wait to find his adoptive father, Lord Jon Arryn, the current former Prime Minister of the Duke of the Eagle's Nest, to come over to him for reference.

Robert relied heavily on the old duke, for the old man was brave, upright, and wise.

If the old duke hadn't bravely spread his wings to protect his two adopted sons before the usurper war, but had succumbed to the 'mad king', now Robert and Eddard would have become dead bones .

Not to mention the current King Robert and Lord Eddard Stark.

Therefore, Robert respected and relied on the old duke very much, and no matter what decision he made, he had to refer to his opinion.

In the words of Eddard Stark.

"Maybe only Jon Arryn can control Robert in this world, and even Robert's dead biological parents can't make this bastard right."

However, the white-robed knight frowned slightly when he heard the king's words, but stood still and didn't move.

"Um?"

"Don't go soon!"

Seeing that Barristan didn't execute his order right away, Robert rushed up in anger again, staring closely at the white-robed knight before asking.

However, Ser Barristan was unmoved, and his eyes were silently looking at the king who was still furious, like a furious brown bear.

Then he sighed slightly, and said in a calm voice.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the former Prime Minister has been away from King's Landing for more than a month."

The Baratheon Dynasty was established, but the Seven Kingdoms were not unified, Dorne did not submit to the new king, and even the Greyjoy family of the Iron Islands did not take the initiative to come to King's Landing to express their submission.

And now.

As the former Prime Minister, the old duke did his best to clean up the pain caused by the war that took more than two years and swept the entire Westeros continent.

The whole country has survived the period of the new king's coronation, and is finally on the right track, but it still has not returned to the state on the eve of the Targaryen war.

The problem of Donne has always been in the throat, and it has become a problem that the new dynasty must solve.

So over a month ago.

The old duke was finally ready, and took the corpse of Prince Leuven Martell on his way to Dorne for peace talks.

Attempts to appease Dorne's anger over the deaths of Prince Lewin and Elia Maltey and their son Aegon.

However, what Sir Barristan Selmy did not expect was that the old duke still traveled all the way to Dorne at such a young age for the unification of the country.

And the king who sat in King's Landing all day enjoying himself had forgotten about it, or never remembered it at all.

Ever since Lord Jon Arryn left King's Landing, the king has indulged all day, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, without paying any attention to state affairs.

All piled up and waited for the old duke to come back and deal with it.

"Um?"

"Lord Jon Arryn has left King's Landing?"

Hearing the blunt words of the white-robed knight, King Robert's slightly prosperous cheek was clearly full of confusion, and the anger he had just filled was reduced a lot because of this interruption.

He really couldn't remember it.

But after hearing what Barristan said, he seemed to have a little bit of an impression.

I see.

King Robert suddenly realized.

No wonder the old man didn't come over to persuade him not to just eat and have fun.

It turned out that he had left King's Landing for Dorne.
