Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory
Chapter 289 Finger Spider and Woman
The day after the tournament, Linde was ready to leave King's Landing and return to Summer Hall.
Almost at the same time that Lind was about to leave King's Landing, a merchant ship from White Harbor docked at the dock of King's Landing. A disguised woman wearing a hood and cloak and a short, fat white man wearing a long sword. The old man got off the boat.
"Madam, what should we do next?" Perhaps because he had just gotten off the boat, the white-haired old man walked a little sluggishly and his face was a little pale, as if he was ill.
The hooded woman saw a group of golden robes patrolling the docks and couldn't help but pull up her hood, completely covering her face, and then said: "Let's not go to the castle yet, there are Lannister families everywhere here. His lackey will be discovered if he goes to the Red Fort. Go to the hotel that the captain just introduced."
After making the decision, the two entered King's Landing through the Riverside Gate, and then found a hotel to stay in at Eel Alley in the Visenya Hills.
However, when the old man went out to inquire about the news, the woman was brought to a brothel on Silk Street by the golden robe he found.
"Kate, long time no see." When Petyr saw the woman walking in, he immediately waved the prostitute serving beside him to go away, stood up and walked towards her.
However, before Petyr could reach the woman, he was slapped hard by the woman. Then the woman opened her hood, revealing the face of Catelyn, the Warden of the North and Duchess of Winterfell.
Caitlin, who was frightened along the way, asked angrily: "Petyr, are you crazy? You brought me to a place like this. When you were a child, you were somewhat polite, but now? Am I your maid? I'm being yelled at. Come and call!”
Petyr touched his beaten face, showing no trace of anger at all. He waved to the frightened prostitutes, telling them to leave as soon as possible.
After the prostitutes left, he closed the door and said: "Kate, you know me. I will never offend you. You should also know that the entire city of King's Landing is not safe. There are ears and ears everywhere. Get off the ship." When you arrived, you were already being targeted. If my people hadn't brought you here, your hotel would have been surrounded by people, and you wouldn't be able to spread any news."
"How did you know I came to King's Landing?" Caitlin's face improved a little, and then she asked again.
"Varys told me that when you boarded the ship at White Harbor, Wallis had already received the news. When you got off the ship, his little bird immediately discovered you and found me." Finger smiled and said: "Although I don't like him, I have to admit that he is still very competent as an intelligence manager. The entire Seven Kingdoms are covered by his spider web, and his informants are everywhere. He can Received the news faster than anyone else, maybe he is on his way here now."
Caitlin asked: "Why would he come to you? Are you collaborators?"
Petyr looked at Catelyn and said, "Maybe it's because of our relationship."
Caitlin could feel the passion hidden in Petyr's eyes, and quickly avoided Petyr's gaze, deliberately changing the subject, and said, "Does he know why I came to King's Landing?"
"I don't know, maybe I know, or maybe I don't understand at all." Petyr shook his head and said, "To be honest, I'm also very curious, why did you come to King's Landing at this time? You know your husband is currently in Cleaning up the mess left by the previous prime minister has offended a lot of people recently, and many people are waiting to see what happens to him. Now that you come to King's Landing, you are simply handing a knife to those hidden enemies. "
Caitlin gritted her teeth and said, "I miss my husband and my daughter very much, so is there anything wrong with coming to King's Landing to see him?"
"Kate, your excuse is not very good. When your second son is ill in bed and your eldest son is still very young and unable to take care of things, you left Winterfell, where you are most needed, and went south. This is not an excuse even for a fool. will believe it.”
Just when Caitlin was about to defend her behavior, there was a knock on the door, and then Varys's voice was heard outside the door, saying: "Lord Petyr, am I suitable to come in?"
"Of course it's appropriate to come in," Littlefinger walked over, opened the door, made an invitation gesture, and said, "Please come in! Lord Varys."
Varys put his hands in his sleeves and walked in slowly. When he saw Caitlin, he walked up to her, saluted her proactively and said, "Say hello to you, Mrs. Caitlin."
"Hello, Lord Earl Varys." Although Caitlin didn't like Varys, she still returned the courtesy in a standard manner.
"Earl? This is the first time someone has addressed my title so carefully. Others either call me eunuch or spider." Varys looked at Caitlin with a smile, and his eyes quickly fell on Caitlin. on the injured palm, and then said: "Your injury seems to be serious, do you need me to help you deal with it? I just have the ointment I just bought from Shengxia Hall on hand, which is very effective in treating various injuries."
Caitlin put her hands back into her sleeves and said, "No need, Master Luwin has already taken care of it for me at home."
"That's good." Wallis nodded, then smiled and said, "Dear madam, can you let me see that dagger?"
When Caitlin heard this, her expression suddenly changed, she stared at Varys warily, and asked in a deep voice, "How did you know..."
"Although the coach of Winterfell who came with you is a cautious person, he is obviously not cautious enough. Perhaps he did not realize that he was no longer in the sparsely populated Winterfell, but in the overcrowded King's Landing." Varys raised his hand. Indicating Caitlin not to worry, he sat on a chair nearby and said, "He just went to the armory to find Sir Allen Santaga. When the two were talking, they mentioned a dagger, and then the two of them We returned to the hotel where you stayed, and they should still be waiting for you to come back. By the way, the hotel proprietress told them that you left to go to the city to find out information. They obviously had no doubts about this. People in the north are so simple! "
Caitlin's face was obviously not very good after hearing this, and then she looked at Littlefinger, as if asking for his opinion.
Petyr also looked at Varys carefully and said, "I don't believe Varys. His mind is too deep. You never know what he is thinking, but I can be sure that among the political forces in King's Landing, Varys will not take sides, he will always stand behind the Iron Throne."
Caitlin thought about it calmly, and finally pulled out a dagger from her cloak, placed it on the table next to Varys, and said, "Take it! I hope your little bird can tell me the owner of this dagger." who is it?"
Varys took the dagger in his hand, looked at it carefully, and said: "The handle is made of dragon bone, and the sword body is made of Valyrian steel. This kind of craftsmanship looks like the craftsmanship of Qohor, and it can be so luxurious. Not many people use this weapon, and it may take some time to find out who owns it.”
"No need to check anymore, I know who the owner of this dagger is." Petyr took the dagger from Varys and played with it skillfully. Some of the playing moves are very dangerous and can cause damage if you are not careful. He hurt himself, but he kept the dagger spinning and rolling safely on his palm as if he were using his own fingers.
"There is only one dagger in the entire city of King's Landing and even in the entire continent of Westeros," Littlefinger said, skillfully throwing out the dagger in his hand. The dagger happened to cut off the bell rope above the gatehouse and nailed it to the lintel. Go up, "Mine, this dagger is mine."
"Yours?" Caitlin looked at Littlefinger in shock.
"Yes, or its former owner was me," Littlefinger nodded and said, "But at the last tourney on Prince Joffrey's name day, I made a bet and lost it."
Caitlin asked anxiously: "Who did you lose to?"
"The imp Tyrion Lannister."
After hearing this, Caitlin immediately fell into deep thought and muttered: "Lannister? It's really them, that's right, that's right!"
"Lord Petyr, Lady Caitlin, I think there is nothing going on here without me. I think I should leave." Varys also stood up at this time, and when Caitlin was about to say something, he took the initiative He promised: "Please rest assured, I will never tell anyone about what happened here. Of course, I also don't want you two to tell others about my visit here. Just treat me as if I have never appeared. What do you think?" What? "My dear lady."
"Of course, Lord Varys." Caitlin couldn't refuse and nodded.
"Lord Varys, I have one more thing to trouble you." Littlefinger suddenly stopped Varys who was about to leave, and said: "Kate is no longer suitable to leave here. That instructor should have been targeted by someone. , I can’t leave, so please go to the Red Fort and inform our Prime Minister. It would be better if you could lead him here in person without being discovered.”
Varys looked embarrassed and said: "Lord Petyr, your request is embarrassing me. You should know that I will not intervene..."
"I agreed to your request last time." Petyr said in a deep voice.
Varys had a smile on his face and nodded: "I will send Lord Eddard here."
After leaving the brothel, Varys returned directly to the Red Keep, but he did not go to the Prime Minister's Tower immediately. Instead, he returned to his residence, disguised himself as the dungeon guard Logan, went directly to the dungeon, and came to Outside one of the cells.
Varys said to the people in the cell: "Caitlin is here, and the murder weapon is pointed at the little devil."
The people in the cell walked to the door and could see his face under the firelight. If Linde were here, he would definitely know that he was Jia Kun.
Jia Kun said calmly: "Very good, someone will just wait and watch the show."
Wallis said solemnly: "Isn't this a little too simple? Using a dagger to identify the murderer, there are too many loopholes in it, I'm afraid..."
Jia Kun looked at Varys and said: "It doesn't matter. Don't worry about being seen. It doesn't matter whether other people believe it or not. As long as the lady believes that it was the little devil, it will be fine. Someone left a message in Winterfell before." All the clues that came down have convinced the Duchess that the Lannister family is the one who harmed her child. The dagger now only deepens her belief. As long as she waits for an opportunity, she will not hesitate to show her Mother's love, even if her mother's love will destroy her family."
After listening to Jia Kun's words, Wallis couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and then said: "Littlefinger doesn't know about our relationship yet, but he has promised to give me the qualifications for the academy. Are you going to the academy now?"
Jia Kun turned around and walked back to the depths of the cell, saying, "No, it's not yet time. Someone will not leave until he sees what he wants to see."
Varys's expression became solemn, but he soon returned to normal. Then he turned and left the cell, returned to the room, changed back into his usual clothes, and walked towards the Prime Minister's Tower.
When he arrived at the Prime Minister's study, Varys knocked on the door. Hearing Ed's voice inside, he opened the door and went in. When he saw Eddard Stark who was processing official documents, he said without any nonsense: "Lord Ed, Please come with me, I have something important to tell you."
Ed looked at Wallis, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked towards Wallis.
Jory Kelso wanted to follow, but was stopped by Varys. At Ed's signal, he ultimately did not follow.
Varys led Ed back and forth between the porches of the Red Keep, avoiding all the guards, and then came to the edge of the castle where the stable was located. He left the Red Keep through the small door next to the stable, and then walked along the relatively remote road. All the way to the brothel on Silk Street.
"You finally brought him here! I've been waiting here for so long that people almost thought I was also a prostitute picking up clients." Littlefinger, who was waiting at the door, saw the two of them and immediately came up to greet them, then said to Ed. : "Lord Ed, come with me! Your wife is waiting for you inside."
"Damn Petyr! Are you kidding me?" Ed looked at the brothel in front of him and felt offended. He grabbed Petyr's collar and pushed him against the wall.
"Slow down! Slow down!" Varys said from the side: "Lord Ed, Lord Petyr is right, your wife is indeed..."
"Ned! Ned!" At this time, Caitlin stuck her head out from the window on the second floor of the brothel, shouted several times to Ed, and then waved.
Eddard Stark was completely stunned when he saw his wife appearing in the brothel. He didn't come back to his senses until Petyr reminded him.
Then he let go of Petyr and hurried into the brothel without a word of apology.
"Hmph! People from the North!" Petyr straightened his clothes and dusted himself off, with a look of disdain on his face.
"Lord Petyr, don't forget your promise." Varys said as he helped Petyr wipe the dust off his back.
Petyr smiled and said, "Of course, even if I forget everyone else's promises, I will never forget the promise I made to you, Lord Varys."
