The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Chapter 348 Kleb’s Tradition (End)

With a snap, Prince Oberyn caught "Lady Empty", and then part of the sword was slowly pulled out. He lowered his eyes and looked at it.

"My favorite uncle, he is a great knight..."

Prince Oberyn seemed to be recalling the past with Levan Martell, his voice was very soft: "He... often taught me... that a man's value depends on the sword in his hand... not between his legs. That one..."

After a pause, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Green: "During the Battle of the Trident, the reason why Lynn Corbray was able to kill my uncle with this 'Lady of Empty Silence' was because he had already been seriously injured..."

After speaking for a while, he shook his head mockingly: "Who cares about such a thing, haha."

Sheathing the sword, Prince Oberyn returned "Ms. Empty Silence" to Greene and said: "I specifically asked someone to learn about the battle in the valley that shocked the Seven Kingdoms. You are like an experienced chess player. Everything, Including people, they have become your pawns. I think... even if the so-called famous general Landao is resurrected, he will not be able to achieve such a good result, Duke Green."

Green placed the "Lady of Silence" next to the back of the chair where Tyrion was leaning. Regarding Prince Oberyn's praise, he just joked: "Cleb is the precious 'legacy' left to the nobles of the valley by Jon Arryn. , Prince Oberyn."

After saying that, Green stood up, took a closer look at Tyrion who was sleeping, and frowned: "Prince Oberyn, he doesn't look like he's drunk."

Hearing this, Prince Oberyn said calmly: "Yes, he drank the sleeping wine I made myself. He will wake up as soon as possible...it will be tomorrow morning."

Green turned his head and glanced at the seductive curves on the bed, and said: "Prince Oberyn, although Tyrion is a half-man who is not very popular, he is a Lannister after all, and Lannister must pay his debts."

Upon hearing Green's reminder, Prince Oberyn sneered and said, "I like your jokes, but I don't mind having a taste of Lannister."

Green moved towards the bed: "I also have to remind you that everyone knows that the future queen's family does not welcome Martell."

"Because of Willas Tyrell? The accident that happened at the tourney that year, he never blamed me. Almost half a year ago, I received a letter from him. The two of us have a common hobby of cooking horse meat. "

Prince Oberyn took a sip from the wine glass and continued: "In fact, after I hit his breastplate, his feet unfortunately got entangled in the stirrups. As a result, he fell and was pinned down by his mount. I They sent their own maesters to treat him, but they could only save his thigh because the knee was completely shattered."

He sneered: "If you really want to blame him, you have to blame his stupid father. Back then, Villas was as young as grass. How could the Duke of Metz allow his heir to participate in a fierce competition? That damn fat man thought that Villas was as young as grass. Si, like his two younger brothers, was born to win the championship in the tourney. He wanted to get a 'Long Thorn' Leo, but he made his eldest son disabled. "

[Leo Tyrell was the Duke of Highgarden during the reign of Daeron II Targaryen. Many people believe that he may be the best jousting champion in history. He is also considered to be the best jousting champion in the history of the Tyrell family. Excellent knight. 】

Standing next to the bed, Green looked at the black-haired beauty covered only with a thin blanket and said, "You seem to like Leo Knight?"

Oberyn stared at Greene with a pair of dark eyes, shook the wine glass in his hand slightly, and said: "You should also know very well that knocking down a horse and killing someone in a lance duel are two different things."

He suddenly smiled and said again: "Duke Green, you are really cautious."

Green shrugged and said, "This is a hunter's habit. An uncautious hunter will fall into the arms of a stranger sooner or later."

After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Prince Oberyn: "Who is she?"

Prince Oberyn smiled slightly and said: "Ellaria Sand, she is my mistress, and I am very close to her. She came here to make up for the regret of never sharing a blonde beauty with me. Ellaria has always been upset about this."

Green smiled and said, "She is a very thoughtful companion."

He looked at the Mistress of the Red Viper who was sleeping on the bed and said, "Prince Oberyn, she seems to be in a similar state to Tyrion."

Prince Oberyn shrugged and said, "The dwarves of the Lannister family are as cautious as you. Ellaria helped me."

"Prince Oberyn, you are also very cautious."

Green sat back on the recliner where Tyrion was sitting and said: "It seems that you don't want to have other ears in this meeting between me and you."

Brown eyes and black eyes touched for a while, Prince Oberyn leaned his upper body on the back of the chair and said: "You interest me very much, Duke Green."

Green frowned slightly and said nothing. He just stretched out a hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Prince Oberyn grinned and said, "Very good, there is enough time tonight. Let's talk slowly."

He took a sip of wine, paused, and said, "My uncle died in the battle sixteen years ago... but my sister and her children were brutally murdered after the fall of King's Landing."

He looked directly at Green: "With your ability, you should know who the real murderer is, right?"

Seeing Green nodding, Prince Oberyn's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp flash flashed in his eyes.

Green is new to Martell, and so is Martell. Externally, Green belongs to the Lannister camp, but why does Prince Oberyn dare to talk about these things in front of him without any scruples?

At this moment, Green further confirmed his guess in his heart.

Green said calmly: "All the seven countries know that Robert Baratheon picked up the warhammer for love and shattered the Targaryen rule. Isn't he the real murderer?"

He spread his hands and said, "Also, he is dead."

Anger flashed across Prince Oberyn's face. He looked at Greene and said coldly: "Has Kleb forgotten his three hundred years of tradition? If there had been no rebellion, the one you are guarding right now... might be my sister. Elijah."

Rebellion... Green's eyes trembled imperceptibly.

His tone was still calm: "Prince Oberyn, starting from Visenya Targaryen, Kleb and all the lords of the Crab Claw Peninsula have always been the queen's direct vassals, and have loyally guarded the Targaryens. The Iron Throne."

"And that battle..."

After muttering, he continued: "Even though Prince Rhaegar has died in the battle, King's Landing has fallen, and everyone is kneeling down to surrender, the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula who participated in the war still fought to the last moment and to the last person."

Looking at Prince Oberyn, contempt flashed across his lips: "The only survivors are my pregnant mother and me in her belly."

Prince Oberyn clenched a fist with one hand and was silent for a while. He suddenly smiled and changed the subject: "Duke Greene, I want to remind you that although Lannister needs Crabb's support, Lannis Te never wants to see a powerful Kleb sharing the power of the Seven Kingdoms."

He showed a strange smile: "I heard that Cersei likes you very much, Duke Green?"

Green frowned again, his voice slightly cold: "Prince Martell, if you want to offend Queen Cersei, I think..."

He stood up from his chair: "This kind of insincere conversation can end here."

"Sincerity?"

Prince Oberyn laughed loudly. He sat up straight and stared at Green: "Very good, but I'm worried about you... You won't like my sincerity too much."

Green glanced at the Red Viper. He came to the window and slightly opened the golden curtain covering the window.

Outside the window, the moonlight was hazy.

Green's voice sounded: "Prince Martell, if you want to find someone to play with, you can try to wake Lord Tyrion."

Prince Oberyn also stood up: "Duke Greene, my desire for revenge has never faded for a day. I think you will help me."

He said clearly: "You will help me completely destroy the Lannister."

After hearing this, Green couldn't help but let out a "ha". He turned around and looked at Prince Oberyn for a while, and said, "Then what?"

He mocked: "Is the Martell family planning to seize King Joffrey's Iron Throne? When will I see the Dornish soldiers attacking King's Landing? Will I wait another sixteen years?"

Prince Oberyn's face was dark: "Grimm Kleb, do you still remember Varys?"

Seeing that Green had no reaction, he added: "I heard that you secretly entered King's Landing before contacting the Lannister and Tyrell alliances, and killed the intelligence chief who had served three kings."

Green moved his steps and stood in front of the couch, looking at the sleeping Tyrion, and said, "Is this your sleeping wine?"

Prince Oberyn's smile was slightly pleasant: "It turns out that your true strength lies in your outstanding wisdom. I should have gotten to know you earlier, Duke Green."

He shrugged: "But it's too late now."

After a pause, Green shook his head slightly. He looked at the Red Viper and said, "This is not a big trouble to me."

He pointed at Tyrion: "When he wakes up, he is still a Lannister."

"certainly."

The corners of Prince Oberyn's lips curled up: "I'm actually more interested in why you took the risk to kill that eunuch. Maybe... the all-pervasive eight-clawed spider obtained information that forced you to take the risk?"

The candlelight flickered, and the golden nose on Tyrion's face and the golden sword handle at his waist shone in the golden light, which made Green's mouth curve slightly.

After a period of silence, Green looked at Prince Oberyn again, and he said with some confusion: "Then what? Please continue."

Seeing that Green was still calm, Prince Oberyn rubbed his head as if he had a headache, and he sighed.

Wow, he picked up the jug and poured two glasses of wine. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The other wine glass... He walked over and handed it to Green.

"The summer red I brought from Dorne."

Green reached out and took it: "Thank you."

Prince Oberyn smiled slightly, took another sip of wine, and said: "My brother is cautious, but I am not. I went to Braavos and met with William, who was protecting King Viserys and Princess Daenerys. Ser Darry, and signed a secret contract in the presence of the Sea King of Braavos - when Viserys returns to the Seven Kingdoms to fight for the Iron Throne, Dorne will raise troops to support him, and he will marry the horse Princess Arianne of House Tyr (the eldest daughter and heir of Prince Doran) is the queen.”

He stared at Green: "Later, I suddenly received news that Viserys was dead and Daenerys was missing. I immediately went to investigate in person, and then I collected intelligence that Kleb's ship had appeared nearby, If it weren't for my brother's summons... I think the city of Kantus (the city where Viserys died) would have gained more for me."

The smile on his face deepened: "Did Varys die because of the information that Kleb, who was loyal to Queen Lannister, was secretly supporting Targaryen?"

After a pause, Prince Oberyn raised his glass and said, "In fact, we are all supporters of Targaryen. We are not enemies. Lannister is our common enemy, Duke Green."

Green's hand behind his back gently rubbed his index finger with his thumb. He held the wine glass and sighed slightly: "May the gods bless Targaryen."

Prince Oberyn's eyes flashed and he said, "Do you know how Viserys died and who killed him?"

Green shook his head and said: "According to my investigation... he died in an accidental fire, but I'm not sure."

The Red Viper's eyes were fixed on the expression on Green's face, and he suddenly said: "Did Daenerys tell you?"

Hearing this, Green immediately became alert: "I don't know where she is."

Prince Oberyn narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "We should protect her together. She is the last Targaryen."

There were bloodshot eyes in his eyes: "It's up to you to hide her secrets for a long time. She needs the protection of more people."

"Please let me think..."

With a bang, the wine glass in Green's hand slipped, spilling the bright red summer red.

After a pause, Green suddenly thought of something. His usually calm voice was filled with anger: "Are you deceiving, Red Viper?"

Prince Oberyn couldn't help but smile in triumph, but it quickly disappeared.

He reached out and patted Green's arm reassuringly: "I have to admit...at your age, I have never seen anyone smarter than you...Actually, I have been to Kantus City State, but where I have collected too much information about Daenerys’ whereabouts, and none of them seems to be false, but I can now confirm... This is a smoke screen you deliberately left. "

Green's anger has not subsided: "Martel, how did you guess me?"

"Maybe it's some mercy from the gods."

Prince Oberyn shrugged and said: "When I passed near Dragonstone, I met a pirate friend of mine. He once followed Stannis's fleet south to Storm's End. He saw marigolds hanging on it during the voyage. The small fleet of flags (Chapter 211)... Well, he told me accidentally, so I said it was the mercy of the gods. "

Seeing the suspicious look on Green's face, he spread his hands: "Coincidental location, coupled with coincidental time, I don't believe there can be so many coincidences, I started to become interested in you. Of course, plus tonight The unexpected harvest - the information that Varys was killed by you, I can only say that it is the blessing of the gods. "

He shrugged again: "Actually, I don't usually pray to the gods."

Green murmured: "It's really a blessing from the gods."

The anger was gone from his face: "Prince Oberyn, I want to hear your proposal."

Prince Oberyn drank the wine in one gulp, and then he threw the silver wine glass on the Myr carpet. His melancholy face had a serious look on his face: "I hope Daenerys stays in Sunspear, which is safer. , and my brother’s eldest daughter and heir, Arianne Martell, marries you. From now on, Martell and Cleber will be the strongest allies.”

"Give me some time to think..."

Green thought for a while, then he suddenly turned around and looked at Tyrion on the recliner and said, "Does this person need to be silenced?"

Prince Oberyn replied as if joking: "No need, he is almost half dead now, and he won't remember what he said to me when he wakes up."

Hearing this, Green looked away, paused, and then looked in the direction of the bed.

Although Green did not speak, Prince Oberyn understood what Green revealed.

Red Viper hid the impatience on his face and turned his head to look at Sleeping Beauty Ellaria on the bed: "Don't worry, my love..."

Chi!

Prince Oberyn saw a flash of golden light from the corner of his eye, and then...his eyes widened with an expression of disbelief. He stared blankly down at the golden snake sword hilt on his chest.

"You..." The scarlet blood bubbles that kept coming out of his mouth made him unable to speak.

With a thud, Prince Oberyn fell heavily shortly after.

After a while, Green walked over and pulled out the "Viper" dagger stuck in Prince Oberyn's chest.

Then, he held it, stained with bright red...in Tyrion's hand.
