"There are too many things to do, and the speed of talent development is really too slow."

Robb's recent worries were all because the maesters in the city couldn't keep up with him, and the progress in scientific research was slow. After all, the demands he made were outrageous.

However, there is still no way to achieve perfection in finance and government affairs.

Bankers from the continent of Essos offer financial courses in Star City and Old Town, but there are still very few bachelors who understand and are willing to study.

Mainly because there are not many bachelors in the first place, most of them are illiterate, and even many lords are illiterate. They usually rely on the bachelors around them to manage the territory.

In this case, Robb's development plans are of course very limited.

“Let’s just develop productivity like this. Let’s improve the literacy rate first.”

Robb plans to popularize basic education throughout Westeros after defeating the White Walkers. Although the productivity is not very high, it is relatively easy to do this well with subsidies from the Essos continent.

Putting aside the idea of ​​technological advancement for the time being, Robb prepared to deal with his current greatest enemy-Joffrey.

Now as long as King's Landing is unified, the entire continent of Westeros will be Robb's territory.

Facing the last legitimate king, the Lannister family, who had a blood feud with the Stark family, Robb felt that he could not leave them any dignity.

——

King's Landing.

Joffrey's chamber.

At this time, Joffrey was about to collapse. There were 30,000 enemies outside King's Landing!

Thirty thousand!

Inside and outside, 30,000 troops surrounded the entire city of King's Landing. At this time, his good grandfather no longer came down from the sky with the army's magic soldiers to defeat the attackers.

Joffrey felt a little unreal.

Obviously he is the legitimate king, why do others disobey him one after another?

Why did Robb Stark rebel against him?

Just because he killed his father?

But he is the king!

You can kill whoever you want!

Why, things will become like this!

Joffrey paced back and forth in the palace angrily, playing with the latest crossbow in his hand. He called the maid: "Am I the king?"

The maid was frightened by his terrifying look and stammered: "Of course..."

"Will you obey my orders?"

"Yes, everyone will obey your orders!"

"Very well, then go to hell."

The maid simply wondered if there was something wrong with her ears. Without saying a few words, she didn't even do anything wrong, and the other party wanted to die on her own?

When Joffrey saw the dull maid, he was instantly furious: "You don't want to, right? You really lied to me, you deserve to die! You lied to me, you are the same as those people outside!"

Click!

The crossbow arrow in Joffrey's hand shot out, piercing the maid's shoulder and drawing blood.

"Ahhhhh!"

The maid screamed. The huge pain woke her up from the sluggishness just now, and her brain was instantly wrapped in humiliation and anger.

Looking at the guards who came after hearing the noise, the maid knew that she would definitely die today.

When the arrival of death has become certain, fear will be reduced.

The maid suppressed the fear in her heart and shouted at the top of her lungs: "You are not a king at all, you bastard! You want to kill me, but you can't do it at all. Your arrows are all wrong, you bastard" Beast! Beast born of incest!”

She tried her best, but she could only curse some words that could make Joffrey break his defense, but she didn't have the courage to rush forward and fight Joffrey.

She is just a maid who knows nothing.

Joffrey was a little stunned, and then he became extremely angry. His blood rushed to the top, and he was a little dizzy: "What are you talking about, you bitch! I'm going to kill you, and I'm going to torture you to this point. Die! Give you to Cobain, yes, give you to Cobain!”

"I am the king, how dare you disrespect a king! You bitch, bitch, ahhhh!"

The maid's face turned pale when she heard Cobain's name.

Qyburn's name is now well-known in King's Landing. He was originally a bachelor of the city, and later was appreciated by Cersei and became a high-ranking bureaucrat in King's Landing.

In the spirit of alchemical technology being the primary productive force, Qyburn began to research various alchemical items for Cersei.

There is certainly no shortage of human experiments here.

According to legend, living people who enter Qybain's underground laboratory will undergo unbearable torture, but will come out intact.

It's just that at that time, you are no longer you.

Life is more terrible than death.

The maid recalled those horrific legends, and a helpless desolation arose in her heart: "I will fight with you!"

She really couldn't understand why she was in this situation.

Ever since he was a child, he has done nothing wrong and has always behaved himself.

She is the pride of her poor parents because she can serve a king at a close distance and earn a lot of money to support her family.

The maid had never done anything wrong, but just because of Joffrey's bad mood and question, she had to die here.

She wanted to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, crying and begging Joffrey to let her go.

It wouldn't do any good, she knew.

But doing so is the most appropriate approach for her status. Doing so can give her a great sense of security, so that she does not have to endure the great torment of changing herself before she dies.

If it were before, she would definitely do this.

But for some reason, she chose to resist.

Maybe it was because the 30,000 troops outside King's Landing made her realize that Joffrey would die soon, maybe it was because Joffrey's mentally retarded and brutal performance made her realize that Joffrey was just a mortal, maybe it was because her aunt came tonight and was a little irritable...

There are many reasons, no one knows which one it is.

Anyway, she rushed to Joffrey and wanted to resist her fate.

"Crazy woman!"

Joffrey looked at the maid rushing towards him with bare hands, knowing that this woman had no power and was hit by an arrow, so she was not a threat at all.

But the madness and determination on her face still made Joffrey feel deeply terrified.

Joffrey trembled as he loaded the bow and arrow, but he couldn't aim because of panic.

The maid rushed to Joffrey and began to bite him madly.

Joffrey was not injured at all, but he was extremely panicked: "Ahhh! Madman, you are crazy, you are completely crazy!"

"Woo woo woo, why are you forcing me, woo woo woo..."

At this time, the guards finally arrived and pulled the maid away from Joffrey.

The maid's mouth was full of blood, looking extremely hideous!

Joffrey was already somewhat unconscious: "Kill her! Kill her! Feed the dogs! Tear her into pieces and feed her to the dogs! Feed the pigs, feed her to me! I want to eat her!"

The guards looked at each other and saw their bleak future.

As a king, cruelty is actually okay, but if you are incompetent, you will be completely finished.

Joffrey shouted and scolded the guards and maids, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

But soon, he calmed down, or to be precise, he was stunned.

A nimble figure appeared from nowhere, and she showed her face ostentatiously, without any caution that an assassin should have.

Accompanied by the sword light, the guards who grabbed the maid were cut instantly.

They covered their throats helplessly, looking at the assassin with incredible eyes, and blood stained Joffrey's expensive carpet red.

Joffrey recognized the assassin: "It's... you! That wild girl! The wild girl of the Stark family!"

When Joffrey went to the North with his father Robert, he had a 'duel' with Arya's friend. His brutal and shameless behavior made him win the game. He also wanted to kill Arya's friend, so he was bitten on the arm by Arya's wolf.

That was a rare moment of injury for him. From then on, he hated the people of the Stark family.

This family dared to embarrass him for the sake of the lowly people!

Arya didn't even look at him straight in the eye. She looked at the maid who intervened in the struggle: "Young girl, your resistance has won you life. Your precious qualities are rare even among the nobles, so I am here to save you."

The maid looked at Arya blankly, feeling like she was looking at a god.

Joffrey shouted, "You can't leave, none of you can leave. I will catch you, kill you, and use you to threaten your rebellious brother!"

Arya sneered, "Joffrey, the accounts between us are not so easy to settle. Live in fear until my brother breaks the city gate."

Joffrey shouted loudly to his guards, and Arya flashed in front of him and put the dagger in her hand against his throat.

Joffrey was instantly stuck, with a panic on his face, and he didn't dare to speak at all.

Arya smiled and said, "This is interest. Say hello to your father who also has a broken arm."

The dagger flashed, and Joffrey's arm fell to the ground.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"

Joffrey let out the most helpless and miserable roar in his life, his veins bulged, and the feeling of pain spread throughout his body.

He began to despair, thinking that he was going to die here.

Crack!

At this moment, Arya grabbed the dazed maid, broke the window of Joffrey's bedroom, and jumped out.

Arya was very strong now, and it was very easy for her to run away carrying the maid.

The maid was anxious: "There are many guards on this road. We can't go this way. We will be discovered!"

"I know," Arya said calmly, "but this road is very close, and as long as we kill all the enemies, we won't be discovered, right?"

Maid: Huh?

After a period of commotion, Cersei and Jaime finally brought people to Joffrey's bedroom.

As soon as they came in, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

There was blood everywhere on the ground. Joffrey sat on the ground weakly, his face pale, and he was crying.

His left hand weakly supported his broken right hand, and tears and snot flowed down.

Around him were the bodies of the guards.

"Ahhh!"

Cersei couldn't bear such a tragic scene and almost fainted.

Breaking free from James's support, she rushed to her son with all her might: "What's going on? What's going on?! Call Coburn over here, take my hand, pick up your hand, pick up your hand!"

Joffrey first cried loudly: "Help, help me, I'm dying!"

Then he went crazy again: "It's all you, it's all you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been chopped, it's you who did it, you all deserve to die!"

Cersei held her son in her arms, tears streaming down her face: "It's all our fault..."

"Go away, all of you! Woohoo, why haven't the maesters come yet? I'm dying, woohoo, I'm dying..."

"No, you won't die, Qyburn will be here soon."

Jaime looked at his wife and children, and a sense of sadness rose in his heart.

He knew that King's Landing could not be defended, but he didn't know how to make his wife and children recognize the reality.

Joffrey cried and made a fuss in Cersei's arms, like a child who had not yet grown up.

But his performance was soon terminated.

He looked at the roof in horror, where a girl was smiling and waving at him.

"Ahhh, she's back, she's back! She's back to kill me!"

Everyone looked in the direction of Joffrey's finger, but there was nothing there.

Joffrey kept retreating, his face full of horror, and the whole person huddled in the corner.

Jaime quickly led people to search the entire bedroom, and carefully looked in the direction Joffrey pointed, but found nothing.

Cersei and Jaime looked at each other, and they both had a guess in their hearts: Joffrey might be crazy!

But no one was willing to accept this reality, and no one said it out loud.

Joffrey shouted: "Why, why can't you find it, she was just there, the wild girl from the Stark family!"

Jaime comforted: "We will find her."

After searching around and around, Joffrey's bedroom was so small, and more than a dozen people turned it upside down, but no strangers were found.

But Joffrey kept saying that he saw the girl again.

"Right behind you! Can't you feel it? You idiot!"

The Kingsguard was really unsure of Joffrey's mental state. He was the strongest knight on the continent. Could he feel if there was someone behind him?

But Joffrey was going crazy all the time, so they could only cooperate.

Cersei's tears were almost dry. Her child became disabled and his brain was not working well. What should she do?

Qyburn finally arrived, and the maesters bandaged Joffrey and stopped the bleeding in time to prevent the mentally handicapped man from dying.

Cersei decided to sleep with Joffrey, and Jaime and his men guarded outside them.

Joffrey drank some special addictive milk to relieve the pain, but mental weakness was still inevitable.

"We can't fall asleep, she's here!"

Cersei coaxed her like a baby: "I know, I'm here too, your uncle is outside, it's safe here."

At this time, Cersei completely believed that Joffrey had hypochondria.

The house was brightly lit.

Joffrey was gradually tired due to the effects of the drug and wanted to sleep.

Cersei was also a little tired while guarding her son, and began to doze off.

At this moment, the two heard a very clear sentence:

"The North will never forget."
