Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 69 Bloodthirsty Throne

The sad and solemn convoy finally set off.

At the head of the procession was King Robert's coffin, escorted by the Kingsguard Jaime Lannister and Boros Brawne.

The hastily succeeded new King Joffrey I, Prime Minister Eddard and Ser Barristan and other courtiers followed him.Baggage, women and children, and guards walked at the end of the line.

When the team set up camp for the first time, Eddard, the Hand of the King, couldn't wait to step into the king's tent.

Ed had a lot of questions.

"How much does Your Majesty know about Blood Raven? Where is he? The night watchman will definitely find him!"

Joffrey has already changed into a dark black dress. "Master Ed, don't be too anxious. The Blood Raven should not be underestimated. It will be difficult to eliminate in a while. We must learn to be patient."

Joffrey made up half-truths.

"Most of what I know about him comes from the Children of the Forest. He hides in the depths of the Haunted Forest beyond the Wall, and sees the Seven Kingdoms with only weirwood and animal eyes. He never shows himself. It's all said in the letter."

Joffrey stared into Ed's eyes. "Besides, Blood Raven has plans for King's Landing and the Red Castle. Some people have secret and dirty connections with him."

"Surely your lord doesn't know what happened in King's Landing these days?"

Ed bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, please clarify."

Joffrey did not speak, but used magic to transmit voice to Ed: "Please keep the following news absolutely confidential. Don't panic, I am talking."

Feeling very strange, Ed tried to calm down.Is this the magic mentioned in Caitlin's letter?
"I dreamed a prophecy. The Seven Kingdoms and even the world will usher in a catastrophe of destruction. After the invasion of the strange ghosts, the end of the long night will come. The gods then bestowed such divine power and ordered me to fight against the dark and cold monsters."

"There is a shadow of Blood Raven in the prophecy. He has many accomplices in King's Landing, including Varys and Petyr."

Ed could only listen silently, not knowing how to question.

"Since then, I have paid special attention to these two imperial ministers. While my father is away from the Red Castle, they may make small moves, so I quietly made arrangements to use the blessings of the gods to make Sandor an enemy with one hundred enemies. Soldiers, to ensure the safety of King's Landing City."

Ed immediately woke up, what happened to King's Landing? !

"Sure enough, something happened. The Blood Raven seems to have colluded with Varys and the others. I just received the news from Sandor the day before yesterday. Varys and Petyr launched an attack, and almost all the King's Landing Guards rebelled. Fortunately, Sandor stopped it. them."

"Then my father was killed by the blood crow right after him. This must not be a coincidence!"

Ed seems to outline the face of Blood Raven, sinister, cunning, and inhuman, like the combination of Littlefinger and Varys.

There was endless pain and regret in Joffrey's voice transmission, "There is no father in the prophecy, how could it become like this? I was too negligent! The gods will not forgive me!"

Ed was almost in the same mood, watching Robert die with his own eyes, and he couldn't forgive himself until now.

"There was hope."

Joffrey said again: "I gave Arya a steel plate when we parted in Winterfell, which allows people to communicate with each other thousands of miles away. Bran and she both used this to talk to Jon, and it happened to be used to deliver information."

Ed thought of the unremarkable steel piece that Arya treasured, it turned out to be such a strange thing!
"The Son of the Forest told me about the Blood Crow's plot a week ago. I thought of the steel piece at that time, but the steel piece suddenly lost its effect at that time. It must be the blood crow's action!"

"Afterwards, we had no choice but to drive at full speed, and asked Madam Caitlin to release the raven. It was too late."

Ed shook his head, knowing it wasn't anyone's fault.As long as the blood crow can still monitor this side, he can do it at any time, no matter how fast the speed is, it can't save Robert's life.

Robert was such a hunter that he hardly went a day without being exposed to the beasts of the Bloodraven.

Eddard smiled sadly. It was Robert's fault.

"What we can do now is to eliminate Blood Raven's eyes as much as possible, and we cannot allow him to peek at the Seven Kingdoms unscrupulously."

Joffrey gave Ed a firm look, "When enough power is accumulated, even if Blood Raven runs to the land of eternal winter, he will be completely wiped out!"

Ed looked at the Son of the Forest outside the tent who was the focus of everyone's attention, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Ed walked to the Children of the Forest.

Joffrey watched quietly as Leaf described Bloodraven's message to the Hand of the King.

The information he revealed was hard to break.The content of the prophecy is true, the magic is true, the ability of the blood crow is also true, and the result of the change of King's Landing is also true.

Without presupposing that Joffrey is the murderer, Blood Raven is the only answer.

This is enough.

There must be many doubts and stains on every king. As long as there is no conclusive evidence, it is not true, it is just slander and rumors of hostile forces and villains.

Even Ed, who valued honor, could not choose to fight the king just because of doubts.

Queen Cersei entered the tent and signaled her servants to retreat.The Empress Dowager's head steward was the last to leave and closed the tent curtains.

The camp suddenly became dark and silent.

Cersei sat next to her son, "Little Joe, what do you think, let Eddard Stark be regent? It would be a great gift for him to continue to be prime minister!"

Joffrey saw his mother's lips continue to squirm but said nothing.

There should be the second half of the sentence hidden in my heart, "Why do you let father also be the regent? I am afraid that my father prefers Casterly Rock and Lannisport, so he is not willing to come to King's Landing."

Joffrey reassured: "Mother, don't worry, I have considered it carefully. Our situation is very dangerous. Don't tell me about my real life experience, are the princes willing to surrender wholeheartedly?"

Cersei snorted, "Who dares to make trouble?"

Joffrey continued to comfort, "Master Ed can bring us the support of the northern border, the riverlands, and the valley, plus the king's land and the western border of Grandpa, our rule will be stable."

"Besides," Joffrey took his mother's hand.

"Don't I know that my mother loves me the most? Lord Ed's regent is just a title. Grandpa Tywin still has the entire Western Territory to worry about. In the end, we are the ones who rule the country."

Cersei's face softened slightly.

Joffrey said again, "Don't forget Renly. He won't be captured without a fight. The Lords of the Stormlands are his vassals, and he is on good terms with Highgarden. The more we have, the safer we will be."

Cersei realized the danger, "Renly will rebel?!"

Then there is no need to ask.

Joffrey made his decision.

From last night to today's brief king's life, people's attitudes and questions made him understand his true status.

Sublime, but not authoritative.

According to the political system, he is unable to handle state affairs before the age of 16, and it is the regent and prime minister who replace the king to exercise power.

How is this possible?

It will take another four years until he becomes an adult. By that time, the White Walkers have already invaded the Seven Kingdoms, and the end of the Long Night may have come, and he has just been in charge? !

That was not Joffrey's plan.In four years, what he will become at that time is not the king who wields real power, but the supreme emperor, the hero king who saves the world.

To gain supreme power in such a short period of time, there is only war, only killing and blood, violence and subversion.

Let the war be more violent.

Thrones will thrive on blood.

Joffrey decisively gave orders to Hannah and the Hound at the Red Keep.

"Let Renly leave the city."
