Chapter 268 Morgan's chance, Duke's flaw!(1/2)
"What do you think, Lord Stark?"
James Lannister said, looking at Ed Stark and asked provocatively.
The words fell.
Everyone present had their faces changed.
Ed Stark frowned and looked at the "regicide" James Lannister who did not follow the rules.
He really didn't expect the other party to raise this question at this time.
While in Winterfell, although the other party mentioned it, it was blocked by Morgan.
I thought the other party had no idea.
I didn't expect the other party to raise it at this time.
But he was really a little hard to refuse.
If he refuses, Queen Cersei Lannister can obviously increase the punishment by using the dire wolf biting Prince Joffrey by his daughter Arya.
Because the words that his eldest daughter Sansa Stark had just said have already put his side at a disadvantage.
Regardless of the process, Prince Joffrey's hand was bitten.
But if he agrees at this time.
Then there is no way to let Morgan join the battle for him.
Because this is the two of them whom James Lannister is openly invited to compete.
Others can't replace it.
And if he really participates in the competition, he will lose regardless of winning or losing.
Think about it, what is Ed Stark's identity, guardian of the North, the king of the North, the Duke of Winterfell, and now he has become the new imperial prime minister of the kingdom.
What is James Lannister's identity? The eldest son and heir of the Lannister family in Kaiyan City, but after joining the Royal Guard, the eldest son has been deposed.
Because the oath to become an Imperial Guard is to a certain extent the night watchman of the Great Wall.
"No fief, no marriage, no children..."
The difference is just to be a night watcher who is loyal to the night watcher.
Becoming the Royal Guard will always be loyal to the monarch and king.
The Royal Guard, known as the "White Knight", is still very honorable, and it is the dream of too many young people.
But becoming a glorious "White Knight" violated his oath and attacked his monarch from behind.
Even King Robert Baratheon pardoned James Lannister.
But the nickname "Rocidekiller" full of contempt and contempt will always be accompanied by James Lannister's life.
Of course, even if there is no title of "Renkslayer".
James Lannister is also completely incomparable to Ed Stark.
Because the two of them are not at the same level at all, not at the same level.
So as long as Ed Stark agrees to the competition, he will be the biggest loser regardless of winning or losing.
Taking this time, this competition was proposed.
Obviously, it is not just about trying to make trouble, but the deep meaning is that it is that it is dissatisfied with the fact that it has come to Junlin City to become the former prime minister, but also wants to undermine its reputation.
Thinking of this, Ed Stark looked up at Queen Cersei Lannister.
There was a smug smile on the other person's face at this moment.
You can refuse, but the other party will definitely take the terms of punishing Arya.
"Damn...these guys..."
Just when Ed Stark was in a dilemma.
Morgan on the side was also observing James Lannister and Queen Cersei Lannister.
Looking at the smile on the queen's face behind, Morgan immediately realized that they were obviously colluding.
With Ed Stark's conservatism and stability, how could he agree to a martial arts competition with a "regicide".
The other party must have thought of this.
The end result is that Arya, who caused Prince Joffrey to be bitten, could be subject to even more severe punishment.
It only used Sansa Stark's lies and testimony.
Cersei Lannister took the opportunity to throw out two extremely bad choices for Ed Stark to choose.
This is why King Robert Baratheon is not too partial to Ed Stark's side.
In this case, with his current identity, James Lannister also has the invitation method specifically explained.
Morgan really couldn't help Ed Stark speak like he did that night's party.
"It's really sinister..."
Morgan quickly figured out the various things and couldn't help but think in his heart.
However, he is not a person from this world, nor is he a swordsman in the traditional sense of this world.
He will follow some etiquette rules in this world when necessary.
However, when it comes to his future path plan, he will also destroy the "rules" of this world without hesitation.
At this moment, most people in the tent looked at Ed Stark who was challenged.
Even King Robert Stark frowned and looked at James Lannister for a moment, then looked at his old friend Ed Stark with a serious expression.
From his perspective, he naturally saw that this was a problem for old friends.
"Sir James Lannister..."
Just then.
A sudden sound suddenly sounded.
Morgan said and patted Arya on the shoulder in front of him. Although he was not sure what happened suddenly, Arya immediately moved away from the sensible move.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were now on Morgan.
When James Lannister saw that Morgan came forward again, he felt a little bad in his heart.
Queen Cersei Lannister looked at the handsome and extraordinary sharpshooter and said at this time, and also frowned slightly.
King Robert Baratheon saw Morgan and seemed to think of something immediately, with a look of anticipation.
Ed Stark looked at Morgan and immediately remembered the scene in his mind at the banquet that once greeted the king in Winterfell.
I couldn't help but feel relieved when I knew Morgan had always been reliable.
Everyone stood up as they watched Morgan stand up in a rude way.
Although some people on the Lannister family were dissatisfied.
But neither the king nor the queen spoke.
No one dares to say anything.
In the eyes of everyone, Morgan stood beside Ed Stark, looked at James Lannister in front of him with a smile, and said again: "I heard that Sir James Lannister is superb in swordsmanship and is well-known in the Seven Kingdoms. I wonder if I am lucky to have a martial arts competition with His Excellency Jazz?"
Morgan finished speaking.
The entire tent immediately became extremely quiet.
But it was only a moment.
Everyone reacted.
James Lannister looked at Morgan who suddenly spoke up for a challenge with a bad expression.
Queen Cersei Lannister frowned even more, looking at Morgan who did not act according to common sense.
She had admired this sharpshooter very much before.
But now...
Cersei Lannister looked at Morgan and frowned and was about to speak.
Then he heard King Robert Baratheon, who was huddled in a wide seat, suddenly shouted: "I think this is very good."
"The martial arts competition between the sharpshooter and the Imperial Guards is still very interesting..."
Hearing that the king's husband was so obviously partial to Ed Stark and Queen Cersei Lannister, he immediately interrupted and said, "Your Majesty, this is unruly..."
"No, I'm talking about the rules."
"It's just set, and the time is set...it's today a month later."
Robert Baratheon once again ignored the queen's words and waved.
Seeing that this incident had become a foregone conclusion, Cersei Lannister had to turn back to the incident of his son being bitten and said, "Okay, Joffrey's scar will last for a lifetime. How do we punish that savage child?"
To be continued...
