The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Towards evening, Green and his party camped in an uninhabited village near the River Avenue. In the only stone house, Jaime Lannister, who had been cleaned up, lay with his eyes closed, looking like a haggard... delicate flower.

Green looked at James who seemed to have fallen asleep for a while, then sat on the short wooden stake next to him. After a pause, he stretched out a finger and pressed on James' wound.

James then screamed in pain: "Hiss! Damn little savage!"

Green smiled and said: "When you are pretending to sleep, you should pay attention to your breathing, Sir."

James glanced sideways at Green. He moved and sat on the bed, leaning against the stone wall. His lips trembled, as if he had something to say... He held it in for a long time, but in the end he just sighed softly, looking at the spider web above and keeping silent.

Green took the initiative and said: "Sir James, did you gain anything from this trip to the Riverlands? How about you, have you found your knight's heart (Chapter 168)?"

After a moment of silence, James suddenly laughed at himself: "It would be better to say it was a trip to the prison cells of Riverrun."

Green's eyebrows raised slightly: "Are you feeling ashamed because of this incident, so you pretend to be asleep?"

James shook his head slightly: "I'm worried that I can't help but ask you..."

After saying that, he paused, looked at Green, and said directly: "You know everything?"

Seeing Green looking at him doubtfully, James opened his mouth and said, "It's about me and Cersei."

"You and Queen Cersei?"

After muttering something, Green spread his hands and said, "I can only say... there are no secrets in the Red Castle. I also hope that what you are asking about is not what I guessed."

James stared at Green for a while and suddenly said: "How did you practice sword and tongue together?"

Before Green could react, he shook his head again: "Forget it, even if I have a clumsy tongue...Cersei..."

Therefore, it was because Jaime learned about Queen Cersei's betrayal of him that the white-robed knight, who had always been high-spirited, fell into some kind of self-doubt.

Lord Green blinked, and James' blond hair seemed to glow with green. Blinking again...well, an illusion.

"Lancel..."

After a pause, James said again: "Cersei and Lancel...is this true?"

Green asked doubtfully: "What's the matter? What can she do with him?"

James got angry: "Little savage, others may not know it, but I know it. I know you have a pair of eagle eyes..."

After speaking for a while, he slowed down, with annoyance in his voice: "I'm sorry, I'm eager for confirmation. I know I shouldn't be like this, but...as long as I think about Cersei, I can't stay rational."

Green reached out and patted James on the shoulder and said, "Do you need me to help you find a good reason?"

James twisted his shoulder and shook off Green's palm, but it involved the wound on his arm and he hissed in pain. Green smiled happily.

James glanced sideways at Green, who was gloating about his misfortune, and said angrily: "I'll listen."

Green pinched his chin and said slowly: "At that time, I don't think anyone could have expected that Tyrion could lead thousands of gold robes to severely damage Stannis's army of 100,000, and no one could have expected that Lannister and Tilly Your reinforcements will appear outside King's Landing in time."

His brown eyes looked at James: "I think most people at that time thought they would fall under Stannis's sword. The shadow of death shrouded the Red Keep, so...if something crazy happened, it would It’s normal.”

Green's good reason gave James a bright light in his originally dim eyes, and he murmured: "It's my fault... If I was by her side... I shouldn't have left..."

James will wake up sooner or later. Lord Green just made his trip to the Red Castle slightly more difficult. A true knight is not afraid of tests, cough.

There was silence for a while. After Green said "Have a good rest", and was about to leave, James suddenly said: "Earl Green, tell me the truth, have you ever...have you ever slept in Cersei's bed."

Green turned his head to look at James who was staring at him, frowned, and said, "Sir, did you lose your knight's heart in the cell in Riverrun?"

After saying that, he ignored James and stepped forward.

When he was about to reach the door, he paused. Green turned his head and looked at James who was in a daze, and said: "The Light of the West, the Queen Regent, is charming and noble. Sir, you have reminded me. I heard that someone is going to take her." Expelled from King's Landing, she must be helpless and pitiful now."

The corners of his lips curved slightly: "Perhaps, this time I really have a chance to be personally rewarded by Queen Cersei."

"It's really exciting." After closing the door, James' roaring... damn... duel... and other angry sounds could be vaguely heard from behind Green.

"Haha, I can feel my brother's joy." Tyrion was leaning under the tree outside the house, with his arms folded and the toe of one foot gently tapping the ground. I have to say that his appearance delayed his handsome posture.

Green walked over, and Tyrion asked with a smile: "Did it work, Green?"

Green shrugged, chuckled, and said, "I hope it works."

"Well, your laughter makes me a little uneasy." Tyrion's tone was helpless.

The two walked towards the bonfire and sat down. Green picked up the wine bag and took a sip of wine. He said, "Tyrion, let's go to Maidenpool first. After James recovers from his injury, we can go south to King's Landing."

Tyrion smiled obscenely: "Girlpool? Legend has it that Florian (one of the legendary heroes passed down from the Age of Heroes) peeked at the place where Jonquil and her sisters were bathing... What a great idea!"

Green tapped his chin and said: "It is rumored that the spring water in Maiden Town has magical healing power. I don't know if it is true or false. We can try it on Sir James."

Tyrion laughed and agreed at first, then his eyes moved slightly and said: "Mis Multon, the younger brother of the Earl of Maidenpool, was killed by Robert I at the Battle of the Bells. His attack on Baratheon The Iron Throne has hatred, and I heard that the Mouton family has surrendered to Little Running Wolf a long time ago, will he welcome our visit?"

Green said calmly: "The former Earl of Maidenfountain, William Mouton, handed over the governorship to my people. Dick Crabb will also marry Earl William's heir. If things go well, we can still catch up with them. wedding."

After a pause, Tyrion looked at Green: "Earl Mouton seems... surprisingly generous?"

Green smiled and replied: "The reason for Earl William's generosity is that Kleb's army appeared at the door of his house."

Tyrion understood immediately and grinned: "I suggest we speed up our pace. I like to attend other people's weddings, especially at night."

His smile faded and he said seriously: "May I remind you to bring more people with you to King's Landing?"

He grinned again: "Let them protect me by the way, I guess...my gentle sister is sharpening her knife in Megta every day, just waiting to cut me into pieces."

After a pause, Green asked: "I heard that Duke Tywin had intended to marry Queen Cersei to Riverrun. It seems... this was your idea."

Tyrion spread his hands and sighed helplessly: "Riverrun is a good place, but sister Cersei always misunderstands the good intentions of her well-behaved brother."

"I can only imagine Queen Cersei's anger at you."

Green reached out and patted Tyrion, comforting him insincerely: "Sir Jaime will help you. Queen Cersei will keep you in a dark cell for a few days at most. Don't worry."

Tyrion said "angryly": "Green, I think you are gloating about your misfortune, we are as close as brothers!"

He rolled his eyes and said, "Perhaps, I can stay in Maidenpool for a while and go back after Cersei gets married."

Green quickly exposed Tyrion's dream: "Do you think Queen Cersei will cooperate obediently? Also, don't forget, you are the finance minister of the Royal Council. Duke Tywin will never allow it."

Tyrion scratched his hair and complained: "I only know how to use money, but I don't know how to make money. The old lion must be because he couldn't find a bronze star in the kingdom's treasury, so he felt relieved to let me Sit in that position.”

He said weakly: "I have to think of a way to make sister Cersei happy. It's too difficult. I don't know if she likes to watch me dance."

Green said in a disgusting tone: "If you squirm in front of Queen Cersei, she will take it as a provocation. Even Jaime won't be able to save you by then, I promise, Tyrion."

Tyrion laughed, crossed his short legs, and said: "Green, all seven countries know that you are Cersei's favorite. I won't embarrass you. Please help me think of a way..."

His expression turned vulgar: "Everyone knows... you are the best at serving her."

Ignoring Tyrion's joke, Green thought for a moment and said, "You rescued Jaime from Riverrun, which can calm most of Queen Cersei's anger."

After listening, Tyrion picked up the wine bag and took a sip of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and said: "Cersei's gratitude is short-lived, and she is better at holding grudges."

His eyes were complicated: "Especially mine."

Green also took a sip of wine and said: "It seems that we can only find a way through marriage. Regarding this matter, I think Queen Cersei will be willing to talk to you."

The Reach, Highgarden.

Tat-tat-tat, although Margaery Tyrell's steps were much faster than usual, she had a slim and charming waist, a graceful chin slightly raised, and a light body.

The servants in the corridor stood aside and bowed. Margaery's elk-like eyes gently scanned everyone who saluted her, with a gentle smile on her little face.

Standing in front of the church door, Margaery nodded slightly, and the two waiters standing on the left and right of the door bent down and slowly opened the oak door.

Entering the church, Margaery's beautiful eyes moved slightly, and she moved towards the direction of the Virgin Statue, where... Mrs. Olenna stood quietly.

After lifting her skirt gracefully, Margaery whispered: "Grandma."

With her back on her back, Mrs. Olenna first tapped the crystal in the corner of her eyes, then turned around and said: "Are you here to take me back, my Margaery?"

Lady Olenna was holding the crutch in one hand and staggering. Margaery quickly came over to hold her arm.

After getting closer, Margaery quickly discovered the tears in the corners of her grandmother's eyes, which made her heart skip a beat. Just as she was about to speak, Lady Olenna stopped and slowly glanced at the Seven Gods. The statue said: "This is really not a good place for an old woman like me."

"Grandma~" Margery was helpless.

Lady Olenna walked tremblingly with Margaery's support, and she said: "The gods in the sky have no time to pay attention to the nagging of a mortal old woman."

The more she talked, the angrier she became: "If the gods were merciful, they would not leave me with two crippled grandsons."

At this time, Margaery really hoped that her father, who had rushed to King's Landing, would appear here. Only the Duke of Metz could attract most of her grandmother's anger... Little Rose immediately stopped her thoughts. As a daughter, she shouldn't think like this. She was very worried. Guilty.

Creaking, the closed door was opened again.

Outside the church is a colorful rose garden. Lady Olenna and Margaery walked in the garden, the breeze blew by, bringing bursts of flower fragrance and the chirping of birds.

Lady Olenna was still angry, and she said angrily: "Margaery, I regret more and more why I didn't stop it in the first place... I should have refused harshly, and I should not have allowed young Loras to become Renly's squire. ! Renly who loves acting, Renly who only knows how to act, he deceived me, an old woman. Sooner or later, the old woman will go to the seven hells to settle the account with him!"

Today, Lady Olenna was much more angry. Margaery was very worried. She had to "betray" her father: "Grandma, although you were reluctant to let Loras leave Highgarden, you had no choice. At that time, my father I have agreed to the invitation from Storm’s End.”

Stopping, Mrs. Olenna stared motionlessly at her well-behaved and clever granddaughter. She seemed to be recalling past events.

After a while, she nodded and said, "Yes, I remember, it was my stupid son's decision."

He snorted coldly and said angrily: "Stupid Duke Boar!"

After a few more curses, Mrs. Olenna finally lost her temper. She said kindly: "Margery, I'm tired from walking. Let's find a place to sit for a while."

"Yeah, grandma."

Margaery smiled sweetly and silently prayed in her heart: Gods, forgive me.

They sat down in the pavilion in the garden. Mrs. Olenna took a sip of tea and signaled the maids around her to stay away.

Mrs. Olenna's wrinkled hand patted the smooth and delicate back of her granddaughter's hand, and said happily: "Margaery, my Margaery, the future queen of the Seven Kingdoms, you are outstanding, not as stupid as me." My son, when he is anxious, he only blushes and puffs up his cheeks."

Patting the back of Margaery's hand again, Mrs. Olenna leaned back on the chair and said, "Is there any specific news?"

Margaery nodded slightly and said: "Yes, grandma, we can now confirm that at the wedding banquet in Riverrun, Edmure Tully and Jeyne Westerling both died of poisoning, but among them two A different kind of poison."

"Jeanne Westerling...the little wolf's bride..."

After muttering for a while, Lady Olenna took a sip of tea, her eyes were deep: "We can also confirm that there is another person hidden in the wedding in Riverrun."

Margaery flexed her fingers and said, "Grandma, who could that person be?"

Putting down the tea cup, Mrs. Olenna stared at Margery and said, "That's it... put away your useless curiosity and don't let people continue to investigate. This matter ends here."
