The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

The news of Edmure Tully's death soon spread to Maidenpool, and people were panicked for a while. Therefore, when Sir Mason appeared under the city wall of Maiden Spring with more than 3,000 Kleblin robes, the elderly Earl William Mouton wisely chose to surrender for the sake of the family's survival. Dick Crabbe, a collateral member of the Crabbe family, married Elano Mouton, the eldest daughter and heiress of the Earl of Maidenpool, and became the Governor of Maidenpool.

…………

Late that night, Queen Cersei's bodyguard, Osney Kettleblack, finally waited for the right opportunity. He quietly sneaked into the Great Sept and suffocated the sleeping High Septon with a pillow.

…………

Under the command of King Balon of the Iron Islands, more than 100 Iron Islands longships carried more than 3,000 iron species northward to support Asha Greyjoy who was invading the north.

…………

Rumor has it that Oberyn Nameros Martell, nicknamed the Red Viper, left Sunspear by ship under the orders of his brother, Prince Doran, and went to King's Landing as an envoy of Dorne.

When Tyrion, who was born as a Lannister, prepared horses just in case, he naturally chose an expensive knight's war horse. The knight's war horse is tall, strong and beautiful, and has strong explosive power, but it requires careful care and is much inferior to the northern war horse in terms of endurance.

According to the normal march, this is not a big shortcoming, but... after Tyrion and his party were "bitten" by the cavalry riding the northern war horses with excellent endurance, it became a "fatal" weakness.

On the third day after the search for the Northern Cavalry team discovered their whereabouts, Tyrion and his party had to leave their horses foaming at the mouth. The Northern Cavalry may appear at any time, and then they can only rely on their legs.

As night fell, the fleeing people finally had a chance to breathe.

Tyrion combed his sweat-soaked hair with trembling fingers. He could swear that he had never complained so much about his short legs in his life. Today, if the little squire and Pod hadn't carried him on his back at the critical moment, he would have been kneeling pitifully in front of the little running wolf.

He prayed to the Seven Gods with an unprecedented sincerity: Bronn, bring that bastard Grimm to me quickly!

James, who was extremely pale, staggered over with the support of Sir Adam.

Looking at James who was slowly sitting down, Tyrion grinned: "Brother Jaime, please pray with me."

James smiled weakly, paused, and said seriously: "More and more northern cavalry are chasing us. We have no horses, and it will be difficult to escape from their encirclement."

He moved his injured left arm slightly and said: "If we can't wait for Earl Green tomorrow... Tyrion, we have to make a choice."

He stared at his brother: "I am their biggest target. You and Adam hide while I lead the others to lure the little running wolf away."

Tyrion stared at his brother for a while and said: "I want to reject your kindness. If I escape alone, our kind father will never forgive me."

James frowned: "Do as I say, I want you to live, my brother."

Tyrion grinned: "Tywin will make my life more painful than death."

James opened his mouth and said: "Tyrion, father... he won't. We are all his sons."

Tyrion seemed to be mocking: "Tywin doesn't want me to be his son. I've known that since I was very young, Jaime."

He stretched and said: "Rather than believing in Lord Tywin's kindness, I would rather believe...or pray to the Seven Gods and him to let Green appear as soon as possible. I will give you the most affectionate kiss."

Tyrion's joking did not ease the solemn atmosphere. Sir Adam, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "Earl Kleb's reward is a mistake, which makes everyone look for us like crazy. Otherwise, our whereabouts will not be known." It could be exposed so quickly.”

Sir James frowned and said, "Adam, without Earl Green's bounty, at least Qyburn wouldn't come looking for him, and I wouldn't be able to sit here and listen to your complaints."

Tyrion smiled and said: "Sir Adam, I think you are just doing it out of... well, rational analysis. If you meet Green, you may be able to point out his mistakes in front of him. He likes to listen to other people's advice. "

Sir Jaime glanced sideways at Tyrion, who had malicious intentions, and said: "Adam, don't listen to him. That little wildling is very dangerous. No one can restrain his sword except Cersei..."

He suddenly murmured and repeated: "Cersei... Cersei..."

After his injury improved, Jaime easily fell into Cersei's "whirlpool". Tyrion shrugged, ignoring his brother who couldn't get out for a while, and then looked at the sullen Sir Adam: "Malbrand, Jaime is just a brother and sister. Deep love."

He smiled and said: "You and Green are both military leaders. You must be able to chat well. James's worries are unnecessary. No one understands Green better than me."

Ser Adam stared at Tyrion for a while and said coldly: "Lannister, do I look like a fool?"

Tyrion's movements were exaggerated and surprised: "You actually saw it?!"

His smile suddenly faded, and he said in a serious tone: "Sir Adam, for the sake of sharing life and death, I remind you that the Earl Kleb in your mouth is the actual ruler of the valley. Don't give it to him just because you can't control your tongue. Lannister causes trouble."

A pair of strange-colored eyes stared at the stiff-faced Sir Adam, and he said word by word: "Do you remember?"

After a pause, Adam Malbrand nodded slowly.

Tyrion suddenly smiled: "Sir, according to my analysis, Little Running Wolf should have led troops to chase us early the next morning after we escaped Riverrun. The land under our feet is Little Running Wolf's territory. We can't even find a small boat on the Red Fork River. Do you think who ordered this? The bounty offered by Greene, at least prevent all the riverlanders from becoming the eyes of the little running wolf... Well, I have to admit that his methods are a bit rough."

He scratched his hair and sighed: "It's my fault that I underestimated Robb Stark."

Seeing the pain on Tyrion's face, Sir Adam hesitated and said, "You have done a good job. No one expected so many accidents."

After listening, a smile gradually appeared on Tyrion's face: "Adam, if we are lucky, we can still go smoothly tomorrow..."

The next day, Tyrion and others did not have good luck. Near noon, with the thunderous sound of horse hooves, they were suddenly exposed to the sight of the northern cavalry.

Two dozen loyal Lannister red robes stopped and tried to stop him. The direwolf flag was fluttering, and hundreds of northern cavalry in black and gray, holding spears glowing with cold light, galloped in like a gust of wind.

The red robes faced the northern cavalry rushing toward them without fear, but they all fell into a pool of blood. The battle ended almost instantly.

Tyrion used his short legs to run... and ran... He saw Ser Adam falling to the ground in front of him, carrying Jaime on his back.

Tyrion couldn't run anymore and was out of breath. He pulled out the short ax from his waist with difficulty. He held the ax handle tightly with his trembling hands, wondering...whether he died in battle with honor.

There was no trace of fear on the face of the little squire, Podrick, who held the hilt of his sword with both hands and bravely stood in front of Tyrion.

Wuwuwuwuwu, the North's military bugle sounded, and the galloping Northern cavalry slowly slowed down their horses.

Jaime and Adam climbed up, Tyrion and Jaime looked at each other, and the four of them each clenched their weapons.

At this time, wuwuwuwuwu, the low and long bugle sound came again, but from... another direction.

Tyrion immediately followed the sound and saw the swamp marigold flag waving... He cried.
