Chapter 133 Lipstick Trouble

"Pretty is not a good thing for a commoner girl" , Tyrion said more than an hour ago, could it be that his mouth was opened, or how could it be fulfilled in a while? Was it the little guy who was crowding, or did he hear about this long ago and deliberately reminded Igor in the previous conversation?

The plot of "robbing people's women" is not entirely a fabricated story in the drama to portray the villain. The fact that men with status and power use coercion or coercion to obtain the right of heterosexual mating has existed since ancient times, but with the continuous improvement of the legal system, the form has become more and more hidden, and the method has gradually changed from violence to more and more. It's just elegant...

Why do you want to emphasize that she is a commoner girl? It's very simple - everyone dares to grab it because of the "people's girl".

This again involves a concept of the feudal lord society - "protection chain". The monarch and the bannermen are obliged to protect each other. In most of the time when there is no war, the protection is mainly from the top to the bottom, and this relationship can be passed down layer by layer until it covers the lowest nobles.

Take the King of the Seven Kingdoms as an example - what would happen if Robert took a fancy to the daughter of a Knight under a count City Lord in the Westerlands, and raped the girl after getting drunk?
This Knight will find oneself loyal to the count to complain, the count will find the Westerlands guardian to complain, and the Westerlands guardian, Duke Tywin, known for his iron fist, will find Robert and ask him to explain the matter.

......

It doesn't matter whether the Knight is favored, whether the count he is loyal to is rich and powerful, and whether the current Duke of Casterly Rock is tough, as long as the victim has a noble status, Then the nature of the incident has risen from "Robert has sex with a xx girl" to "The king violated a nobleman".

As long as one's parents or guardians intend to pursue the matter, and the king is not fooled enough to imitate Mad King, he must be held accountable for it. Adding a smudge to one's reputation is not counted, and one has to be responsible for the possible consequences - if oneself has a marriage arrangement and cannot marry the victim, then the smeared girl will have to support a dowry when she marries out in the future. In order to become an illegal child, the king has to recognize his identity, and arrange for someone to be responsible for raising him and receiving education, at least living a decent life than the commoners, etc...

This is the rule of the noble game, and Robert also eats After a loss - he slept with bridesmaid Delena Florent at the wedding of Second Brother Stannis Baratheon and Selyse Florent. Not only did this annoy Duke of Dragonstone, but Edric Storm, the child born by that girl, became the only illegal child Robert was forced to admit publicly.

It is precisely because of the existence of this "chain of protection" system that even a romantic supreme ruler like Robert rarely dares to touch even the daughter of the lowest noble family.

In theory, the ordinary person is also protected by this protection chain system, but the difference is that the identity of the commoners in the noble game is not a "person", but the "property" of the lord to which they belong. . Infringing on a noble's "property" is far less serious than directly infringing on the noble itself. Under normal circumstances, as long as compensation is given, no one will pursue the matter.

The king is still like this, even more how is Janos Slynt, a guy who has no noble status? Although as the commander of the capital garrison and the chief of the city management of King's Landing, he is considered powerful and powerful, but as long as he has not received the title for a day, he will not be able to touch any girl with status.

Except for prostitutes, girls with no status are generally not beautiful. It is rare to encounter one, and naturally I don't want to let it go.

＊＊＊

Igor managed to control the hanging, but he forgot that there is more than one man in the world!
The chief logistics officer is used to seeing the great character, and is not afraid of the middle-aged man in front of him - but the county official is not as good as the current management, as half a businessman, the industry is almost all inside and outside King's Landing, facing the local urban management The leader, Igor is naturally at a disadvantage, and it is really difficult to be tough.

It is better not to offend people, after all, it is better to offend less. Although he didn't like the guy in front of him at all, after a few laps in his head, Igor quickly put on a routine smile: "many thanks, Lord Slynt, but the Night's Watch office is indeed busy these days, this is not an excuse... ...after two days, I will invite the commander to have dinner to make amends!"

"No need, I don't care if your little place is busy or not. I'm an old man, and I don't want to be with you. If you wear a black clothed Night's Watch to eat, you can tell me if you want to give that girl you have a vacation." As he spoke, Slynt looked towards Igor's back with a smug smile on his face: "Miss Nina , now that your Boss is here, can you take a leave of absence?"

Around, other people living in the house also heard the sound and walked out, Jaqen, Neil... and Nina oneself - were called to the door Come on, as a client, it's not easy to hide, so she walked up to Igor's side, subconsciously hiding half of her body behind the man, and didn't even look at Slynt.

＊＊＊

"Sir?" Maiden asked in a low voice, suppressing her panic.

It seems that he is asking Igor if he can take leave for oneself, but he is actually testing his attitude.

The first time they met in the paper workshop, Nina felt that the Chief Logistics Officer of Night's Watch was not only a handsome man, but also a "very capable and capable person". But thinking about it carefully, this is actually just such a vague and good impression. As for how capable Igor is, how capable he is, and whether he can protect oneself in this situation, she actually doesn't know.

If Igor says: I allow you to go to dinner with Lord Slynt. That means that the Night's Watch industry can't offend the commander of the garrison now, so oneself can only endure the humiliation and disgust to accompany the greasy old man to dinner, and then try to prevent oneself from being "eaten" while not offending the other party. ", but if the other party comes to be hard, that oneself will not escape the tiger's mouth after all.

And if Igor gives another answer, it means that things will turn around...

Only at this moment, she realizes that the oneself as a civilian is so powerless and powerless. Weak. Neither the skill of master Tyrion Church oneself in dealing with people, nor a little ingenuity of the oneself itself, are of no use in this context. The fate of the oneself is entirely within the words of the men.

......

Igor is very upset. In terms of influence and power in King's Landing, oneself is indeed not as good as the chief chengguan, but there are powerful people in this city. More to go, so arrogant and arrogant to speak and act, Slynt is the first one that oneself encounters. People like this who were born at the bottom but climbed to the top, once the upstart mentality is in trouble, bullying the soft and afraid of hardening, it is really exciting.

The villain is not to be trifled with, oneself has tried not to touch it, but now they oneself come to the door, Igor, who is also well-connected and has a god teammate like Tyrion, is not afraid of it.

"Nina, you've been working hard recently. Now Lord Slynt invites you. If you agree, I'll allow you to take a day off tomorrow." Igor turned his head halfway, turned his head to Maiden, and took advantage of the summer evening. In the sky, there was only a tiny bit of brightness left, and she quietly blinked her right eye.

I hope she understands the meaning of oneself.

"Sorry... Mr. Slynt, but the office can't do without me recently," Nina got Igor's signal, she felt a little calm, and she suddenly gathered up her courage: "I'm afraid, I can only reject your kindness. I'm done."

Slynt didn't expect to get such a clear rejection that he didn't even bother to change the excuse, guessing that this might be what Igor meant, glanced at him, and said with a sullen face: "You are sure ?"

"You are also a great character, why don't you understand any truth!" Nina's big brother Neil spoke rudely: "My younger sister has said several times. I don't want to, you are a man with a wife and children, why do you keep pestering people?"

"Neil, don't be rude." How many times? Fortunately, oneself came back in time. Igor pretended to reprimand, and then looked helplessly towards the chief of the city management: "Lord Slynt, you see, since Nina is unwilling, even as a superior, I can't force others to accompany you to eat."

The air was quiet, Jaqen stood beside Neil with a dead face not saying a word, and the two golden robes behind Slynt also looked at Igor in surprise, and then looked at their eldest brother-they were from I've never encountered such a situation before, and I can't guess what to do next.

This is King's Landing after all, and it's in such a high-end residential area, so you can't really be rough.

"That's right, if that's the case, let's talk about it next time." Contrary to Igor's expectations, the garrison commander didn't fly into a rage out of humiliation and put down his harsh words and walk away. Suddenly, he used the same cliché: "Excuse me, let's go."

......

Janos Slynt turned around and walked towards the door, and the remaining two golden robes also hurriedly Keep up, and within a few seconds, the three uninvited guests crossed the gate and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

......

The opponent suddenly started playing cards according to the routine, and Igor was at a loss. Listening to Neil's words, this is not the first time Slynt came back to find his younger sister ——oneself Fang is confronting a character who can cause trouble for oneself when he has no idea of the whole sequence of events, it's easy to get things out of control: "Nina, when did this guy start pestering you? Also Yes, does Tyrion know about this?"

"It's only been two days since it happened, and I've been too busy recently to tell Mrs. Tyrion." Nina also understood that things were not so simple, and felt uneasy. He replied: "That was the day I first put on lipstick, and I met him when I was out of the office for lunch. Lord Slynt stopped me at the time, praised the good-looking stuff on my mouth, and asked me what it was. ...I think he's about the same age as my dad, and he's the Lord Commander of the garrison. He didn't dare to ignore him, so he answered a few questions. I felt bad at the time, so I found a reason to shirk it. Whoever thought that he would not give up, he came to me again after work the day before yesterday, including today, this is the third time."

How could Slynt know that? Running to the door of the Night's Watch office? By the way, the opposite side of the office is the base camp of the Metropolitan Guard... oneself thought it was convenient at first, who would have thought that such a closeness would eventually cause such a thing?
While frowning and thinking, Neil angrily criticized the younger sister: "I said before, don't make your oneself look like Monster Qi, but you won't listen, now it's good, cause trouble for the adults. ."

Nina was extremely aggrieved: "I just want to try the effect of the things sent by the applicant, who would have thought... I will attract others first!"

"Okay, it's not Nina's fault." Igor got a headache, and this was obviously not over. As the commander of the King's Landing garrison, it was too easy for Slynt to cause trouble for oneself. Now they can only confront soldiers with generals and stem water with earth, "Neil, you just said that he has a wife and children, how can he be so unscrupulous to mess with flowers outside?"

"Yes. Like this, my lord... This guy, Janos Slynt, was born in a butcher's family. When he got married, he was still a soldier in the garrison, so his wife was also a commoner woman with little background. Who would have thought that he would have a smooth career later on, and somehow gradually climbed to the top Commander's position." Neil explained to Igor: "His wife's family has no money or power, and he can't control him, who is now the number one person in the garrison. This old pervert has always been accustomed to running rampant in King's Landing. If he doesn't provoke great character, we ordinary person can't do anything about him - he will definitely come to trouble."

......

Casey bought it. After dinner, he excitedly returned to the house, but saw the rest of the people standing in the yard as if waiting for oneself, and couldn't help but stunned: "Sir, what are you doing?"

"No. What, close the door and come in." When the troubles continued, Igor couldn't help but start to miss the leisurely life in the coalition camp when he didn't have to think about anything but attracting customers. But after all, the happy days are endless and impossible. After leaving for two months, no accident happened. Obviously, it is impossible. Compared with the rapid development of the Night's Watch industry, it is not a big trouble to provoke a garrison commander.

Now that I have come back and learned about this, then the Big Boss of oneself has to shoulder the responsibility of being a family member: "Don't worry about this matter, I will change it. Let's discuss with Tyrion and see if we can get him out of the way. Until then, you guys...especially Nina, don't run out alone, take someone with you wherever you go, okay, don't stand, go in, eat, Then rest!"
