"No, Prince Augustus's lively personality should be very interesting." Myrcella responded with a smile, then asked curiously, "Prince, can you tell me what kind of place Na Sa Star is? And that Old Man of the River?"
"Of course." Prince Linde smiled and recounted stories about Na Sa Star and the Old Man of the River, and also spoke about the various city-states of Lorath. Everyone quickly became engrossed, especially when he spoke of the Stone Men of Chayon, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Have the Stone Men's greyscale been cured?" The kind Myrcella asked with great concern.
"No." Prince Linde shook his head and said, "The medicine currently produced can only prevent the spread of greyscale, but cannot cure it. The rumors outside about cutting off the infected areas of greyscale are completely wrong; doing so will only make greyscale spread faster."
Myrcella then asked, "I remember Stannis's daughter, Shireen, also has greyscale. Can she use this medicine?"
Prince Linde nodded and said, "It can be used. In fact, after the palliative medicine was produced, Stannis had already sent people to Summerhall to order a batch of the medicine. I heard that Miss Shireen's usage effect was very good, and the second batch of orders was already sent over not long ago."
Myrcella sincerely prayed, "Seven Gods bless, I hope the cure can be produced as soon as possible to save these poor people."
Prince Linde was very satisfied with the kind Myrcella. Although in the struggle for power, kindness would only become prey for the strong, this did not matter to Prince Linde, because when Augustus takes over, the territory he controls should already be stable, and there would be no need for an overly rigid ruler. With one rigid and one kind person at the highest level of governance, they could complement each other well and make up for each other's shortcomings.
While they were conversing, Grand Maester Pycelle led his Assistant Scholars into the courtyard, each carrying a thick tome.
After bowing to Prince Linde and the others, Grand Maester Pycelle asked, "Prince Linde, why have you summoned me?"
"Nothing major, it's just that Prince Joffrey and I have some differing views on the Kingdom's laws, and we're simply discussing them." Prince Linde motioned for Pycelle to sit down, then recounted his conversation with Prince Joffrey, saying, "I would like to ask Grand Maester, is there a law in the Kingdom that stipulates a vassal must offer his treasures to his liege lord?"
"No, of course not." Pycelle quickly shook his head.
"Very good." Prince Linde nodded and said, "Apparently, His Highness the Prince is not familiar with the Kingdom's laws, which is why he has such a mistaken idea. As subjects of the Kingdom, we should correct this error. Archmaester Pycelle, I'll trouble you to explain the various important laws of the Kingdom to Prince Joffrey. It doesn't matter if the Prince doesn't learn them completely, as long as he has an impression, so that he doesn't make such cognitive errors in public like just now."
Pycelle was completely dumbfounded. He had never expected to be called over for such a matter.
He was about to say something to Prince Linde to decline the matter, but Prince Linde urged him to hurry. Then he looked at Queen Cersei, and sensing that the usually arrogant Cersei was also suppressed at this moment, he no longer thought much and honestly opened the thick book in his hand, explaining the relevant content of various Kingdom laws to the bewildered Prince Joffrey in a textbook-like manner.
The atmosphere around them immediately became a bit strange. Even the most talkative noble ladies looked solemn. After all, law is a serious matter in anyone's eyes. They felt that it was too much to laugh and play in such a situation, and Myrcella and Sansa, who had just been playing, also sat quietly on the grass, not daring to make too many movements. The entire courtyard could only hear Pycelle's old voice.
"What's going on? Have I come to the crypts beneath the Great Sept of Baelor? Why is the atmosphere so strange here?" After a while, Jaime Lannister's voice suddenly came from the courtyard.
Prince Linde turned to look at Jaime, not surprised by his arrival.
Jaime, on the other hand, showed a surprised expression and said to Prince Linde, "I happen to have something to talk to you about. I didn't expect you to be here. Let's go outside and talk."
Hearing Jaime's words, Prince Linde did not refuse. He stood up, excused himself to the crowd, and then followed Jaime out of the courtyard.
