Chapter 16 Chess Pieces
Hearing this name, a big question mark appeared in Clay's mind.

Petyr Baelish!

Littlefinger?
After only staying for a second, Clay realized who the name referred to.

The famous plotter in Game of Thrones, why did he send someone to kill him?

To be honest, Clay felt a little bit of a strange emotion that he didn't know how to describe. It's definitely wrong to say that he was flattered, but that's pretty much what he meant.

Wait, no, Robert didn't bring Littlefinger with him when he went north to Winterfell.

The assassin will not kill himself just because he is the heir of White Harbor, it must be because of the conflict between himself and Lannister.

But how did these littlefingers know?Littlefinger sent an assassin to infiltrate the prison so far away to kill himself?

Moreover, what kind of communication method is this?
Calculating that it has only been two days since the incident happened, how could it be so fast?Still a back and forth!
As far as Clay knew, the training of ravens in the South had always been better than in the North. It took a day for his ravens who were well-fed to fly from Winterfell to White Harbor.

Calculating based on the distance, if it is really a raven that transmits the message, the speed of the raven that transmits the message is at least twice that of the White Harbor Raven.

For some reason, a muscular and muscular raven suddenly appeared in Clay's mind. To be honest, his eyes are hot...

Throwing away the thought, Clay decided not to think about it, it's better to ask directly.

"How did Petyr contact you?"

"Raven." The assassin spit out a word without warmth, dull and stiff.

Really a raven?To be honest, this has refreshed Clay's understanding of this creature. It can be used properly in war, and the information can be played with the difference.

But now he didn't want to dwell on these temporarily meaningless details, what he wanted to know more was, why did Littlefinger kill himself?

The powerful magic power of Axi's seal is indeed invincible against ordinary people, but soon Clay understood that the assassin in front of him was just a killer who carried out orders, and he didn't know why he killed himself.

Give him another round of acxi, and Clay ordered him to lie on the ground with his face on the ground, he didn't want the man's ugly face to affect his mood.

"I can't ask, what should I do next?" In the silent cell, Clay was talking to himself.

Clay can't kill him here, although it is easy for Clay now, and Clay can even order the assassin to wipe his own neck, but whether he dies or the assassin dies, Littlefinger's goal has been achieved.

If she dies, the queen will have to face the angry Duke Stark and the king who can't get along with her face. The queen will not be deposed because of her own death, but the final face with the northern nobles will be torn apart.

The queen herself knew very well that she did not send assassins, so she might think that the Stark family directed and acted on their own.

And if the assassin is dead, his own existence can also achieve the above effect, but Clay is not dead. Therefore, from the current situation, no matter what the result is, the purpose of separating the Stark family and the Lannister family is not the same. has been reached.

What a shame!
Thinking of this, Clay asked:
"That stupid Lannister was also arranged by you?"

"...our job is just to get him there just right." His voice was distorted from his face on the ground, but Clay could hear him.

There is nothing to ask for now, the assassin is still lying on the ground, in close contact with the cold cell floor.

Clay is now thinking about how to deal with the aftermath, and he will not become a living person, what should he do?

The candle was burning quietly, crystal tears fell drop by drop, and time flowed slowly. Clay habitually replenished the Axii seal. Just after casting the spell, his hand suddenly froze in mid-air.

Yes, I can't kill him, but I can let him go by himself!
The idea came to him instantly, and the more Clay thought about it, the more reliable he felt. After the idea was perfected, he ordered the dusty assassin to stand up, and said to him in a serious and clear voice:

"Remember, you have already killed Clay Manderly, you leave now, report this matter to your master Petyr immediately, and no longer investigate information related to Clay."

"Yes, I remember." The assassin replied mechanically.

The duration of the Axii sign is limited. Although this thing is cognitive tampering, it is only temporary, Clay
All he needed was for him to send the message to Littlefinger.

Just imagine, after he sends the message to Littlefinger, as long as he doesn't really see Clay, he won't doubt himself, and people won't take the initiative to deny himself.

Taking a step back, even if he really found out that Clay was not dead, what could he do?
Send another letter to Littlefinger, saying: Sorry, master, the one that was killed earlier is alive again, just wait, I will kill it again for you to see.

As long as the assassin is not a fool, he will not do this, because in Littlefinger's eyes, this kind of behavior is a clear betrayal or the person who sent the letter is not a normal person at all.

The tools that lose value or betray themselves should be discarded or destroyed immediately, and Littlefinger must be well versed in the way to stop losses in time.

Therefore, as long as the assassin wants to live for a while longer, for example, if he has the opportunity to run across the narrow sea, he must acquiesce that Clay is dead, and he has the right to pretend that he can't see it if he sees it...

There were three of them in the king's team, and he was the only one who received the assassination mission, which was why Clay dared to do it.

Dazed, staggering, as if he had been knocked out, the assassin left in a daze. Before he left, he closed the door for Clay, and then put the key back at the waist of the jailer who was stunned by him. The service was quite attentive.

After reviewing the matter, Clay found that he had inexplicably become Littlefinger's pawn to provoke conflicts between the Stark family and the Lannister family, which made him extremely upset.

At the same time, he also realized that his rank was still too bad, and only when things came to an end did he realize that something was wrong. However, the general trend, he was sent to prison by the other party's little trick.

Thousands of miles away, Clay could feel the coldness behind Littlefinger's narrow smile.

At this point, although Clay is a pawn, the pawn has truly stood in the center of the chess game, although this is a very unfavorable position.

If he entered the game muddle-headedly, Clay didn't plan to stay in prison anymore. The news here is blocked, and everything is too passive.

I don't know if Bran saw the live erotic palace of the queen and her brother, and Clay wondered.

The second son of the direwolf family was disabled. It was not a big deal when Rob was still there, but when Rob had an accident, the owner of the North was the young disabled.

The fact that the Ironborn dared to openly drive hundreds of miles into Winterfell has a lot to do with this. In this world, a healthy and strong male heir is very important.

Countless blood and fire have taught many lords and nobles on Westeros that only the master who wields a sword can reject evil neighbors from the door.
