The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Green first looked at Margery, then was silent for a while, and then said: "Mrs. Olenna, the Crab Claw Peninsula needs more support, not only millet and weapons, but also farmers and blacksmiths."

Olenna's turbid eyes stared at Green for a while, then she said, "My child, you seem to be in a hurry? You need to have enough patience to manage the territory."

Olenna's tone was very kind, showing the kindness of an old man, as if she was encouraging Green to speak more.

"Lady Oriana, Miss Margaery, the hatred between Crab Claw Peninsula and Vale is no secret."

Green frowned slightly and continued: "After the war more than ten years ago, the valley nobles, with the tacit approval of the former Prime Minister, blocked and suppressed the Crab Claw Peninsula for more than ten years, making the chaotic situation on the Crab Claw Peninsula even more unbearable."

As he spoke, Green's tone became colder: "In order to compete for limited survival resources, we shed a lot of blood, and this is the result of the calculations of the valley nobles behind the scenes. There has long been a blood feud between the Crab Claw Peninsula and the valley. "

After a pause, Green spread his hands: "It won't be long before Kleib establishes the rule of the Crab Claw Peninsula. Under normal circumstances, the Crab Claw Peninsula will usher in peace that has been rare for hundreds of years."

Green shook his head slightly: "But the result is exactly the opposite. The Crab Claw Peninsula is very special. Without the blood of the Valley, even if Kleb establishes the rule of the Crab Claw Peninsula, he cannot eliminate the deep hatred of the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula against the Valley... Blood debt must be repaid with blood, this is a tradition that even I, as a lord, cannot stop.”

Margaery listened quietly and understood what Green said, but she found it incredible.

Earl Green, how dare he, a royal noble, provoke a war of revenge against the "Valley Kingdom"? this……

Margaery's beautiful eyes widened slightly and she said: "Earl Green, do you want to go to war with Erin Valley?"

Green shrugged and replied: "Miss Margaery, this is inevitable. Even the lord cannot go against the unanimous wishes of all the people in the territory."

After speaking, Green added in a disdainful tone: "I will never forget that they once forced Kleb to almost annihilate the clan. Now they just lack a suitable opportunity."

Green looked confident, as if he could crush the powerful Valley with one punch.

In Margaery's opinion, there is no difference between Green's behavior of hitting an egg against a stone and suicide, which goes against the impression Green has always left on her.

With Earl Green's wisdom, it is impossible that he could not have foreseen the consequences of challenging the valley. Could it be that hatred blinded him?

Margery felt that there were many ways to take revenge, so she wanted to try to persuade her. However, thinking of her grandmother beside her and thinking that this was Kreb's "private matter", she did not speak.

…………

Olenna spoke slowly: "Young people's thoughts are really frightening me, an old woman. You should know very well that the Seven Kingdoms will not allow your revenge... It seems that the time you mentioned is very important. ?”

Green nodded and said: "Yes, madam! If you agree to my proposal, I will arrange everything. You just need to wait and see what happens. When the time comes, we will each get what we need."

Olenna smiled and said: "The old woman just needs to sit quietly and watch the show?"

Green reached out and picked up the wine glass, gestured to Margaery, and said, "The Golden Rose can avoid unnecessary fights and conflicts, and you can wait for a favorable opportunity with peace of mind."

Olenna stared at Green with deep eyes for a while, then said: "Earl Green, Golden Rose likes your proposal, and your frankness also makes me, an old woman, very happy."

Margery looked at her grandmother, and she saw her grandmother move her chin imperceptibly.

Margaery said in a solemn tone: "Earl Green, no other person will know the content of our conversation today. This is Tyrell's guarantee."

Green nodded and said solemnly: "Miss Margery, you will see the opportunity within half a year. This is Kleb's promise."

…………

Seeing that the deal was concluded, Olenna patted the table and said loudly: "Margery, your grandmother doesn't like leeks. Ask the waiter to bring the broth and bring me the cheese."

…………

…………

The stars twinkled in the night sky of King's Landing, as if they were dotted with bright diamonds.

After the meal, Green said goodbye to Olenna, and Margaret said goodbye.

The night is very quiet.

As she took a step forward, Margaery suddenly said: "Earl Green, please forgive me for being presumptuous. You should be very aware of the consequences of going to war with the valley."

Margery's steps were light, and although the green dress she wore was simple in style, it showed off her graceful figure very well.

The full moon hangs high, and the beauty of Margery reflects the moonlight.

Green slowed down and said in a gentle tone: "You mean well, I'm very grateful, Miss Margery."

A trace of hesitation flashed across his handsome face, and Green added: "Some things are unavoidable, and you will see good results."

Margaery raised her face and looked at Green: "Earl Green, I heard that you don't have a fiancée yet?"

Green's eyebrows raised, and he seemed to smell the smell of flatbread.

Margaery continued: "You met in Highgarden. Her name is Ello Tyrell. Ello is my cousin. She is charming and witty."

Errol Tyrell? Green remembered the beautiful and slender girl from Margaery's maids.

It seems that you are only eleven or twelve years old this year, right?

Green chuckled: "Miss Margery, the delicate flowers of the south cannot adapt to the Crab Claw Peninsula where savages are everywhere."

Greene's words revealed a tactful rejection.

Green sighed in his heart, the marriage partner who seemed to be a semi-savage noble had quietly upgraded unknowingly... King Green's morale was quietly rising.

After being happy for a moment, Green began to analyze rationally.

Olenna or Margaery herself? Green is more inclined to believe that this was Olenna's instruction.

Did the old lady take a fancy to Kleb's troops? Taking advantage of this deal, train him as a loyal thug of the Golden Rose?

Green suddenly felt that marriage was a useful political tool.

Margery's elk-like eyes blinked. She was a little surprised by Green's answer. She couldn't guess the reason for Green's refusal for the time being.

Seeing Green's polite refusal, Margaery changed the topic: "Earl Green, Tyrell's merchant ships will soon transport supplies to Mermaid Port."

Green nodded in thanks: "You are so thoughtful, Miss Margery."

There is an ancient weirwood tree in the center of the godswood in Winterfell. A human face is carved on the trunk. The face is long and melancholy, and the deep-set eyes full of dried red sap are weird and full of warning.

Catelyn and Maester Luwin found Eddard Stark under the weirwood tree.

Lord Eddard sat on the moss-covered rock, holding a piece of oiled leather in his hand and wiping the blade of Ice's sword.

The ice has a dull luster. It is four hundred years old, but it is still as sharp as when it was first forged.

Catelyn called softly: "Ned..."

Ed raised his head and looked at his wife and said, "Caitlin? Where are the children?"

Ned's first sentence every time would be to ask her about the child's whereabouts. Caitlin had long been accustomed to this sentence, but when she heard it today, her heart twitched inexplicably.

Caitlin quickly calmed down and smiled gently: "They are all gathered at the training ground."

Ed's lips curled up and he said, "We are leaving tomorrow, and I will leave the house to you, Caitlin."

Caitlin's eyes suddenly turned red and she nodded silently.

Eddard turned to Luwin, who had a heavy look on his face, and said, "Maester Luwin, I have always treated you as my own blood relative. No matter how big or small the matter is, give Caitlin more advice and teach my children what they need to know. Don't Forget, winter is coming.”

Lu Wen nodded and stroked his chest: "Your Majesty the Duke, I will perform my duties well! May the gods bless you and let you go home soon."

happy holidays! Today’s update is missing TT, I’ll make up for it later.
