Chapter 44: Hidden Mission’s Hidden Hint - The Return of Simon!
Kai brought Jon Arryn just under the sewer’s entrance near the Tower of Hand.
Only half an hour remained for his mission to be over. He let the old man slump down against the slimy wall as there was no strength in Jon Arryn’s legs, his knees wobbling, his hands searching for a hold he had no use for.
"Easy," Kai said, patting the old man’s cheek. "Take a deep breath. Haha!"
Jon Arryn’s nose squirmed when the real stench of the sewers hit his lungs again. But the old man couldn’t protest, much less let out a distasteful grunt. Kai took out a flask of arbor wine, gifted by Cersei, and two cups. He poured the wine and handed over one cup to the Hand.
"My lord," Kai said, forcing the wine cup in Jon Arryn’s palm. "Drink this. You will feel good."
Jon did as suggested. His hand shook as he sipped the wine and then drank it like water the next moment.
Kai grinned. There is still time, he thought. Why such haste, old man?
Kai took back the cup and refilled it. This time, Jon Arryn curled his fingers around the cup by himself. "This one is for our good time together," he said, smiling. "Sip it."
Kai whiled away the time, drinking and making Jon Arryn drunk. When it was only 5 minutes to the Mission End, as shown by the Stats, he poured the last cup for the Hand.
But this time, he planned to spice things up a little.
Kai flicked his hand, taking a vial out of his Inventory. This vial was full of colorless Light Neurotoxin Kai had painstakingly collected in the last 7 days. With only one saber remaining, he must ensure it remained drenched in poison to give him an extra edge.
