-26- The handsome officers

In the Great Hall of the Queen's Tower.

//// I searched all the wiki and can't find the name of the tower where the queen lives. In Chinese it's Maegor Tower which I think was named after Maegor Targaryen. I did find the tower of the hand, so I'll just call the tower Queen's Tower. ////

Silent all the way, after walking for more than ten minutes, they finally reached their destination.

With a gesture from Jaime, Gallen expressed his gratitude and went in.

Jaime's figure had disappeared, and Gallen found a scattered crowd in the hall.

Gallen roughly counted, there were about a dozen people.

Some of the people who noticed Gallen nodded politely.

Quietly observing for a while, Gallen noticed several common characteristics among the crowd here.

They were all very young and handsome, probably around twenty years old.

From the emblems on their clothes, they were all nobles from the Westerlands and the Crownlands, with more from the Westerlands.

Don't tell me these people are all Queen's Affair Officer?

This level of attractiveness could cause trouble even if there's nothing going on, at least superficially, it really looks like a team of advisors.

Jaime is here every day. Is this Queen really that desperate?

In the hall, as voices reached his ears, Gallen recognized someone.

With golden-brown hair, light green eyes, a handsome face, about six or seven points similar to Jaime's appearance, but lacking Jaime's heroic aura.

Kevan Lannister's eldest son, Lancel Lannister, also known as the Cupbearer.

"Lancel, congratulations!"

"Lancel, I'm a bit jealous of you!"

"To be able to serve His Majesty the King, your future is limitless!"

"Shh, Lord Arryn's health is not good, maybe Lancel would be the future Hand of the King."

"Yeah, only the most reliable person can serve as King Robert's Cupbearer."

Facing everyone's compliments, Lancel maintained a perfect smile, graceful and poised.

Gallen stroked his chin, at this moment Lancel, who was about to become King Robert's cupbearer, was far from the subservient Lancel under King Robert's scolding later on.

According to normal standards, being able to serve as the cupbearer to the king, his future career in the Red Keep would definitely be smooth sailing.

Unfortunately, King Robert is not someone you can predict by common sense, turning what everyone saw as a promising cupbearer into a mere servent.

At the right moment, Gallen walked over. "Good day, Ser Lancel."

Lancel looked at Gallen in his line of sight and shook his head gently. "Good day...,"

Lancel noticed the marsh marigold family crest on Gallen and suddenly realized. "Lord Gallen Crabb?"

Gallen nodded. "Nice to meet you. I overheard your conversation just now and couldn't help but come over to congratulate you."

With Gallen's congratulations, Lancel's cheeks actually flushed slightly. "Thank you, I heard you arrived in King's Landing, and I've been wanting to come and visit."

"I've read the Raven from the Citadel several times, and the battles you commanded were really brilliant."

"I've always dreamed of leading troops into battle, but unfortunately my family is good at governance."

"When I was young, I kept it from my father..."

Lancel, who had changed from his previous introverted appearance, talked enthusiastically with everyone about the battles Gallen commanded.

Surrounding people, whether they knew the inside story or not, kept exclaiming as Lancel recounted.

Their admiration isn't for Gallen.

At this moment, no matter what Lancel says, everyone will enthusiastically support him.

Man....Now Gallen feels ashamed to be associated with such a flatterer who goes with the flow and quietly leaves the crowd.

...

When Gallen was getting a bit bored, he finally heard the loud voice announcing "Her Majesty the Queen...."

Gallen moved with the crowd and stood in place.

The attention of the crowd quickly focused on the stairs.

Queen Cersei's figure had appeared on the stairs and was slowly descending.

Queen Cersei was wearing an off-the-shoulder gown, her curly golden hair naturally falling on her collarbone.

Faint golden patterns, dazzling gemstone jewelry, exuding extreme luxury.

As Queen Cersei's graceful figure appeared, Gallen felt the surrounding people's gaze towards the queen filled with reverence, and even admiration?

Anyone who can stand here is definitely not simple!

Looking at the gaze of the beloved? Gallen shook his head.

Compared to his consistent image, the difference is too great, Gallen can't express such emotions.

After descending the stairs, Cersei stopped.

Jaime stood faithfully behind Cersei, acting as her guard.

"Good day, my officers."

The crowd saluted, placing their hands on their chests. "Good day, Your Grace!"

Cersei lightly nodded, her eyes flickering slightly, her voice cold, "Lord Gallen."

As Cersei's words fell, Gallen stepped out of the crowd and saluted again, "Good day, Your Grace, it's an honor to meet you. Thank you for appointing me."

Gallen's usually composed tone had a hint of excitement, everything had to be just right.

Cersei glanced at Gallen again, a satisfied expression flashing in her emerald-like green eyes, and extended the back of her hand towards Gallen.

Gallen took a few steps forward, gently holding the fair and slender hand extended by Queen Cersei.

Gallen symbolically touched Cersei's flawless hand with his lips.

Cersei slightly raised her chin, lips curling up.

////I search up the wiki, I don't see any like affair officers, let alone queen's affair officer. Maybe it's in the book or the author added it. But they did use the term officers in Westeros.////
