I’m Going Both Ways On Game Of Thrones

Chapter two hundred and eighteen Ed's resistance

He was a little surprised. King Robert actually appointed him as the former Prime Minister of the Royal Palace, and he personally invited him to Winterfell in the North. This honor is really shocking.

"My lord, this is not difficult to understand.

Maester Luwin folded his hands in his wide sleeves, his eyes were calm, and his bald head reflected the light under the incandescent lamp, "Compared to the last position in the war, Lord Tywin, the Duke of the West, who was not trusted by His Majesty the King, and who had long been It is rumored that your character is rock-solid and unfavorable to His Majesty, Lord Stannis. You, Robert and His Majesty, grew up together in the Eagle's Nest in the East, and fought side by side to help His Majesty sit on the Iron Throne. You are also the closest friend of the Stark family and Close allies of the Baratheon family are definitely more qualified for the post of Prime Minister."

"Presumably King Robert has taken this into consideration, and will travel thousands of miles north to invite you in person at Winterfell!

As he said that, the eyes of Maester Luwen could not help but light up with excitement, "There is no doubt that if you become the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, the North, which had little sense of presence in the South, will surely have greater political advantages and advantages. Prestige, it also helps the Stark family grow, after all, your heir, Master Robb, is also of marriageable age.

"If it weren't for the fact that King Robert's only daughter, Princess Myrcella, was still young, letting Master Robb marry her would have deepened your relationship with the king himself. However, if you went to Junlin to be prime minister, choose one for Robb. The marriage of a young lady from a big southern noble family is also very good."

Maester Luwin carefully planned for Ed Stark on his own.

Although he doesn't like the word 'marriage' very much, as the head of the Stark family, Eddard has to let himself accept it.

Well, let Robb, who is his heir, also accept it.

In Westeros, the nobles rely on the huge and complex marriage relationship to achieve the growth of the family and the stability of the rule.

Just like more than ten years ago, when the Stark family, the Baratheon family and the Arryn family raised the banner against the Mad King' Targaryen family, in order to get the support of the Duke of the Riverlands, Horst Tully, he didn't want to be. Is his eldest brother Brandon Stark's fiancée, now his wife's Caitlin Tully?

Even in order to deepen the alliance between the four wolf fish, deer and eagle families, Duke Horst married his 16-year-old daughter, Little Lysa Tully, who was old enough to be Grandpa Lysa's eastern guardian Jon. · Duke Arryn?

This is the family marriage, which plays an important role in attracting allies and maintaining their own rule.

As the children of a big family, after enjoying the privileges and dignity that ordinary people cannot enjoy, they should also use themselves as a tool for family marriage to make contributions to the family.

It's fair in a sense!

Just like her sister Lyanna, she was already engaged to Robert Baratheon, but she didn't expect her to fall in love with Rhaegar Targaryen, which led to the failure of the marriage, and the murder of her father and eldest brother, so that the Targaryen dynasty later subverted,

Therefore, the marriage between the great nobles is very important, it is related to the rule of the family, and even related to the peace of the entire Seven Kingdoms.

-If the marriage is not handled properly, the entire kingdom will fall into turmoil.

"I heard a letter from King's Landing?"

Ignoring the people in the room calling to come in, Mrs. Catelyn pushed the door and looked at her husband and Maester Luwin with a nervous expression on her face.

Ed nodded helplessly and handed the letter in his hand to his wife.

Catelyn took the letter, read it quickly, and then a look of surprise appeared on her still beautiful face, "Your Majesty Robert actually came to the North to invite you to King's Landing as the former Prime Minister?"

Ed Stark sat back behind the desk, clasped his hands against his chin, with a wry smile on his face, "I just found out about this news, and I don't think I have the ability to manage the huge Seven Kingdoms,,, you know. , Just dealing with the affairs of the northern border every day makes me feel a little overwhelmed, let alone being the former prime minister in charge of the government!"

After speaking, Ed sighed lightly, rubbed his eyebrows with one hand, and said sadly, "I'm thinking about how to refuse Robert's invitation and appointment, so that it will neither hurt our relationship nor affect our relationship. to the King's view of the North.

"Although Robert and I used to be close and good brothers, but after so many years, he is already the king, and I am also the guardian of the north. I am afraid that the relationship will be difficult to return to that time!"

-0 for flowers...

After saying these words, Ed Stark really felt a headache.

Maester Luwin nodded solemnly, echoed and reminded, "Your Majesty, your idea is very correct. No matter how good your relationship was, His Majesty Robert is now the king, the monarch you swore allegiance to. If you directly refuse No matter how you explain his appointment, it goes against the king's will and offends his authority as king."

Seeing Lord Ed staring at him and listening intently, Maester Luwin shook his head slightly, and finally said, "This matter is really troublesome. The situation will bring unpredictable results. Therefore, please be sure to carefully consider the matter of rejecting the king.

"Master Luwin is right, Ed, you can't say no!"

Mrs. Catelyn raised her voice slightly, firmly opposed to her husband's rejection of the kingdom's appointment. This is the former Prime Minister of one person and more than ten thousand people, a position of power that many aristocrats can only hope for. Catelyn doesn't want her husband to be like this. missed.

"Robert is your king now, and his order is Wang Ling. If you reject him face to face, you are challenging his majesty as a king. No matter how good your relationship was before, in the eyes of the king, anything that damages his majesty, All are unforgivable!!

First, emphasizing the seriousness of rejecting the king, Lady Catelyn again persuaded her husband emotionally, "And as our children grow up, in order to deepen the alliance between Stark and Baratheon, it is also time to When getting married."

Speaking of this, Lady Kellyn said with joy in her blue eyes, "Robb and Princess Myrcella are not the right age, but Sansa and Prince Joffrey are only a year apart in age, so they can get engaged first! Wait until Joe When Foley becomes king in the future, Sansa will be queen, and their children will be kings,

"Alas, but God is good, Catelyn, we are discussing the Prime Minister today, why did you suddenly bring up the marriage of Sansa and Prince Joffrey?" Seven
