Whispering City, Banquet Hall.
Long tables were placed in the middle and on both sides of the hall.
The table was filled with grilled meat with oil on it, fresh fruits, and a variety of drinks.
Watching the young maids busying around in the hall, Green was thinking about other things.
The maids wore blue round-necked dresses that reached below their knees.
The traditional skirts of the maids in Whispering Castle are very long, which makes people worry about stepping on or being stepped on, and falling at any time. It is also easy to stir up dust, so Green secretly named it the "floating skirt".
The maids swayed in front of him every day, and Green couldn't bear to see it. In the name of Maid Kaliya, he arranged for someone to change the length of the maids' skirts to below the knees in the midst of many busy affairs, and also gave each of them brown mid-calf soft leather shoes.
With a headscarf, the Kleber maid outfit is born.
After the changes, Green finally felt that the maids were pleasing to the eye.
The reason why he borrowed Kaliya's name was because Green was worried that if his own name was used directly, if the skirt-changing incident became known, according to the customs of Westeros, he would have an additional shameful title such as the Baron of Skirts.
Daenerys: "Descendant of Old Valyria, Queen of the First Men and the Andals, Ruler of Westeros and Protector of the Realm, Khaleesi of the Dothraki of the Great Grasslands, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Breaker of Chains, Mother of Dragons!"
Green: ".........., Skirt Baron!"
Refuse, never admit it.
The credit belongs to the naturally intelligent Kaliya.
............
Amidst all the laughter, everyone kept raising their glasses, and the atmosphere in the hall became even more lively.
............
Green sat alone at the lord's long table, with only Kaliya, holding a wine jug, serving him.
According to the rules, only the lord's family or distinguished guests can sit at the lord's long table.
Green: "Kalea, put the wine jug here and go to the banquet. Look over there, your sisters are at the table over there."
Kaliya's face was quite hesitant.
Green smiled and reached out to take the wine flask from Kaliya: "Go ahead, I'll call you if there's anything."
"Then... I'll go take a look. I'll be back soon!"
Not long after Kaleiya passed by, Green saw a pair of slender and soft hands holding a wine jug and pouring wine for Green: "My master, you will spoil Kaleiya."
"Ms. Surana, you always show up in time when I need you."
"I appreciate your recognition of me. I would be even more grateful if you could reduce my workload a little bit."
During this period, Herschel and Surana were constantly busy with one task after another assigned by Green.
"Have you encountered any difficulties?"
"They call themselves witch doctors. Don't witch doctors need to trim their nails? I'm sure they've never had their nails trimmed since they were born. And there's this lingering, foul smell. I've had a poor appetite since yesterday. Several of the Whispering City doctors are very dissatisfied with them. Bringing them together is a disaster in itself. I even thought of my long-unused dagger."
Green understood: "It seems that the witch doctors have no awareness of being captives."
After a pause, Green continued, "Sulana, we have to admit that they are unique in treating injuries and using herbs. The Kleber soldiers need more doctors. With more doctors and good medicine, we can save many soldiers."
"Veterans are our precious treasure."
"You are so thoughtful. I understand, my Lord. I just couldn't resist the urge to draw my sword and scare the disobedient person."
Green nodded and said, "Well, I just said that they are prisoners, so you have found the right way. Arrange people to do it, whether it's nail polish or scrubbing them clean with a brush. First, arrange for soldiers to put swords on their necks. You will find it much easier."
"Thank you for your help, my Lord."
After saying that, Surana looked to the other side and frowned imperceptibly.
Kaliya held a wine glass in her slender hand and was happily chatting with the maids of her age.
Green followed Surana's gaze and looked at Kaleiya, whose face was flushed. "Kaleiya learns everything very quickly. As a mother, she deserves your pride."
"You have a kind heart."
"Seedlings need a growth process, Ms. Surana."
Only Emparo and Reina are qualified to attend the banquet in the Thorn Legion.
It was their first time attending a banquet hosted by the lord. At first, Emparo and Lena were very reserved. But after a few drinks, in the strong atmosphere of the banquet, they began to talk loudly and drink heavily.
Glancing at Emparo, Sunara blinked and said, "I heard you are very satisfied with her figure."
Maester Al... Green chuckled: "Emparo is an upright warrior."

Somewhere in Junlin, in a dim room.
Littlefinger Petyr Baelish has a pair of gray-green eyes, gray hair, a thin figure, and a neatly dressed dark gray robe, like a monk.
Petyr Baelish raised his head and an elegant smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Baron Green Crabbe, a very unfamiliar name."
"Yes, my lord. Her Majesty seems quite interested in him. I checked. He's 15 years old and a semi-wild noble from the Crab Claw Peninsula."
"A model Targaryen loyalist..."
Petyr Baelish maintained a beautiful curve at the corner of his mouth, his eyes calm. "Don't rely on things that float on the surface. Anything that is not verified is no longer credible. The magic of King's Landing is always attracting the footsteps of ambitious people."
"Sir, please forgive my stupidity, but do you need to arrange for someone to go over and investigate further?"
Petyr Baelish shook his head slightly before saying, "No special arrangements are necessary. Since Her Majesty the Queen is interested, the little one will soon appear in King's Landing. There are no secrets in the Red Keep."
Petyr Baelish whispered, "Chaos is the ladder."
