Chapter 47 King’s Landing is very busy

 Witt is very busy in the north, and his elder brother Robert is also very busy in King's Landing.

Since Cersei jumped into the sea with several princes and princesses to death, the queen's position has been vacant and the king has no heirs.

All the nobles with unmarried children all began to gather in King's Landing City, and even Old Frey from Hejian land was preparing to bring 20 daughters to the king for selection.

The area of ​​the Iron Street of Junlin City is close to the high hills of Visonia. It is a high point in the city's terrain, with a large number of luxury shops, and behind the street are a large number of nobles' mansions.

The houses here are relatively crowded, and the nobles can build them at will in their fiefdoms, but this place is not that big. However, these buildings are obviously much larger than houses in common areas. The three floors are common in size, and a few even have four floors, all with red roofs and gold walls, and the interior is luxurious.

The house of Count Matus Rowan from the Golden Tree City of the river beside the river is located here. Today is the 16-year-old coming-of-age dinner for his eldest daughter. Many friends were invited and King Robert was invited.

Matus Rowan is very strong and his beard is always shaved quietly. He is one of Robert's drinkers and the relationship between them is quite good.

Halfway through the dinner, some golden robes came into the hall first, and no one told me that the king had arrived or something. Robert followed him and walked in the middle of the queue, entered the hall with a smile on his face. When everyone passed by, they saluted him, and Robert waved his hand to reply.

When Matus Rowan saw Robert arrive, he enthusiastically pulled him to his daughter: "His Majesty the King, I am very happy that you can come to my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony."

Robert pulled Matus: "Hahaha, Earl of Matus, you are stronger again, we will go to Silk Street to have a drink somewhere else."

He said to his daughter again: "What a strong girl, congratulations, you are an adult now."

Matus's daughter saluted Robert: "Thank you very much to His Majesty the King."

Matus: "It is really a honor for my daughter to come today."

Robert: "Hahaha, I still like to hear you call me Robert. Every time you drink, you say you want to go home to see your daughter. You are such a good father. I brought your daughter a gift."

After saying that, he waved his hand and went to the banquet hall to drink. The Royal Guard Balistan brought people to bring the gifts, including some jewelry and silk.

[I didn't even ask what my daughter's name was, and I wasted my daughter's dressing up.]

Matus Luowan turned his head and looked at his daughter and shook his head.

【It seems that Robert doesn't like strong girls.】

This is a banquet held by Matus Luowan. Everyone invited him to come with many female companions, and there are many uninvited ones. Luowan knew the purpose of these people, but he still had to entertain them after receiving gifts.

Robert held up his wine glass and was talking to the two ladies. As he was talking, his hand was put on the waists of the ladies.

Just as we were having a happy chat, two younger and more beautiful ladies in red dresses came to join the chat. Not long after, Robert's hand moved to the waists of the two ladies in red dresses.

No one dared to go beside him and listened to what the king said, and he was just whispering the two noble widows in red dress. Several royal guards looked at them with cold faces and turned their backs to the king.

After the banquet, Robert and two ladies in red dress returned to Red Fort.

Several Royal Guards were guarding outside the King's Palace, and Balistan was chatting with the newly joined Royal Guard Lynn Cobrey.

Lynn Cobrey is a valley nobleman with long brown hair and handsome face. He is not interested in women. He has a steel sword in Relia on his waist: Ms. Kongji.

When Robert revolted a few years ago, he first joined Robert's side on the Targaryen royal family, and later joined Robert's side, killing a royal guard of the mad king at that time in the Battle of the Trident River, making great contributions. But the royal guard he killed was named Levin Martel, the uncle of the two princes of Dorn.

Originally, killing on the battlefield was considered a glorious death and should not be held vengeance, but then Princess Elia of Dorn was also killed, and the two were still in the anger of Prince Dorn. Robert could only aggrieved Lynn Cobrey back to the valley and compensate him with economic aspects.

It was not until the Demon Mountain was transported to Dorn some time ago that the relationship between Baratheon and Dorn Martel's family was eased again.

Jon Elin, who learned the news from Robert, wrote a letter to ask Lynn Cobrey if he would join the Royal Guard, who now has four vacancies.

After receiving the letter, Lynn Cobrey took his family to pass on the Valyrian Steel Sword: Ms. Kongji, and came to Red Fort to swore to Robert as the Royal Guard.

Balistan: "The Luo Wan family must be out of the blue today."

Lynn Cobrey: "The king has been very lucky recently. All the nobles have come to him with their unmarried children, and there are too many candidates."

Balistan: "Now there is no queen or heir. Everyone has a chance, it depends on who can grasp it. However, the two noble widows in it are definitely not possible. The law stipulates that the queen must be an unmarried woman."

Lynn Cobrey: "They didn't want the queen's seat. If you can go to the king's bed, you can bring them enough benefits."

Robert kept introducing his daughters to Robert, and banquets were held one after another. At the banquet, he contacted the ladies of various nobles and never went to entertainment venues again.

Every few days, it will be reported that he had slept with a noble widow from a family, and that patriarch of a family submitted an engagement without replying. Every few days, another family will be there.

The ministers at the imperial meeting were also very anxious. The kingdom had no queen or legal heirs, so they began to contact the great nobles to see if there were any unmarried women of the right age. They even proposed to Dorn to Yalene Martel as the candidate, but Prince Daolang refused on the grounds that his daughter had smallpox.

Robert lived the life of a king like this, and kept dragging on the announcement of who the new queen was, and enjoyed it every day.

~~~

It is said that the women in it were invited by the boss from all over the country for a large price. The women here looked beautiful and had a variety of styles. They could say that they became the highest-end entertainment venue in the few years after King's Landing.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In the back alleys of entertainment venues, the taste of cooking moon tea has never stopped here. Women working here often get pregnant accidentally, but there are still babies who are still pregnant after drinking moon tea. They are raised here in a concentrated manner. When they grow up a little, they will continue to serve tea and water in entertainment venues. The future of these children is full of uncertainty. When boys grow up, they may go to the city to find something to do or join the army. Girls may continue to do business here, or they may die in their growth.

An obese bearded man was walking in the back alley with a pot of wine in his hand, obviously a guest who had just finished spending.

The fat man walked into an ordinary house, which was simple on the first floor, but very luxurious on the second floor.

"Mr. Varys, if you hadn't walked without a sound, I wouldn't have known it was you." Petir Berrych was thin and had a small mustache on his side, making him look longer. He wrote the account book on the table and recognized him at first sight when he saw the fat man.

"My Lord Junlin City Sewer Management, why are you hiding here if you don't work in the Urban Management Office during the day?" Varis spoke very lightly in this strange place.

Petir Berris poured a glass of red wine for Varis: "The work of expanding the sewer at the port has been completed. My private property needs to be managed, and of course it cannot occupy normal office space. What's wrong with you when you come to me?"

"Did you arrange two women to go to the king's bed yesterday?"

Varis had previously been in charge of the King's Sewer because Petir Berrisch had begun to cooperate. Seeing him climb from the bottom to the highest position step by step, his methods were quite clever, especially with women and money.

Petir Berrysh had never conducted activities with the kingdom's senior ministers or the nobles before. Today, after investigating the two widows who went to the king's bed, he found that Petir Berrysh had sponsored their clothes and jewelry and arranged for them to attend the banquet of the Luowan family.

"Yes, His Majesty the King doesn't want to determine the queen so quickly. So we ministers should consider enriching the king's daily life, and I am very professional." Pettier smiled and drank a sip of wine.

Varis looked at Petir and said seriously: "What the hell do you want?"

"I want the position of Minister of Finance." Pettier was also very serious.

Varis smiled: "It's absolutely impossible for you."

Petir: "The current Chancellor of the Finance Department is seriously ill and he can't do it for long."

"It's not your turn to Little Finger. Everyone in the seven countries knows that the richest one is Tywin Lannister in the West, and the two Baratheon brothers Witt and Renly." Varis analyzed to him, where is your Little Finger and you want to be the Minister of Finance, and you can't even pass the ability on the surface.

"Tywin just died of his daughter and grandson. Witt is going to the Eastern Continent for a few years. Renly is busy now. What about me? It is not impossible to do it with a little activity. For example, the intelligence chief Varys voted for me at the imperial meeting."

Varis now knows that Petir must have other means, "There are 8 votes in the imperial meeting, plus the king's total 9 votes, so my vote is useless."

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you support me." After saying that, Petir raised his glass to Varis.

Varis: "You are more than one rich candidate."

Petyr: "Being a Chancellor of the Finance Department does not depend on who has more money, but on how much money you can earn for everyone."

Varis thought for a while, picked up the wine glass and met Petir.
