The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Green handed the reins to the squire and smiled: "Good night, Sir Garland."

Green and Ser Garlan walked side by side into the gate of the Red Keep, followed by Kleb's guards in blue robes and Tyrell in green robes.

Under the setting sun, the entire Red Fort seemed to be melted by a layer of red light.

After chatting for a while, Sir Garland hesitated, paused, solemnly stroked his chest, and said: "Duke Green, thank you again for your help. Swordsman Matthew is a good instructor (Green sent him to Hebang The Left-Handed Swordsman of the Crab Claw Peninsula of Earth, Chapter 152, Chapter 251), he allowed me to hold the sword again and regained my reputation as a warrior.”

Green stopped and said, "This is his honor, Sir."

He glanced at Garland's left arm, patted it, and said: "Congratulations, I hope... you and I will have the opportunity to fight side by side, brave Garland knight."

Hearing this, Sir Garland stroked his chest again, with a hint of excitement in his voice: "It will be the honor of my life to be able to fight with a famous general."

Green nodded slightly, thinking of Willas Tyrell (the eldest son and heir of the Duke of Metz, Chapters 70 and 71), he felt...this is the qualified heir.

He said: "Very good, we have made an agreement."

The two continued to walk and talk, and Lord Greene, who was always keen, was deeply touched by the honorable heart of Knight Garland, which reminded him of Duke Ned who was far away in Winterfell.

The people around him conquered the Blood Gate and the Eagle's Nest City, which everyone thought were impossible to break. Sir Garland asked for advice on siege warfare.

Green showed a smile: "The Florent family's Brightwater City?"

In Sir Garland's surprised look, he continued: "When I talked about Storm's End with the Duke of Mace, I also mentioned Brightwater City, so I made this guess."

After hearing Green's explanation, Sir Garland nodded in a daze. Do all famous generals have such sharp eyes? He thought about the deceased Landao, they were... different.

Green patted Sir Garland on the arm and said, "You'll get used to it soon."

Sir Garland smiled slightly sheepishly and said, "Maybe it's because it's the first time I've led an army alone on an expedition..."

As they were approaching Meg Tower, they saw not far away... Sir James with flowing blond hair.

The three of them greeted each other, and anyone could see that James was looking haggard. He was trying his best to pretend that nothing happened, and even jokingly talked about the unexpected king's dinner tonight.

What is the number one hot spot in the Red Fort at this time? In addition to the little devil's assassination of the Red Viper, there was also the incident of wolves plundering Dusken Valley Town.

The three of them soon talked about the war in the Reach.

Garland: "Looking at the movement the Runlangs made, I feel like they are more like a gang of robbers."

Green: "Perhaps they will die out one day when they have nothing left to grab."

James: "Today I went to see the King's Gate where reconstruction has been suspended. A very large number of refugees from the Riverlands have gathered there."

Green: "As long as the war continues, the number of homeless refugees will increase, and the price of bread in King's Landing will only rise higher and higher."

Garland: "Just yesterday, after Margaery came back, she also mentioned the refugee issue to us. She seemed very worried."

…………

Garland: "Sir James, I heard the news that you are going to go on an expedition. I hope you will eliminate those 'robbers' who are causing trouble in the Riverlands as soon as possible. May the gods bless you."

…………

On a nearby tower, Duke Tywin stood with his hands behind his back. He was overlooking the figures of the blue, red, and green trio heading to Meg's Tower.

There were footsteps behind him, and after a pause, Sir Kevan's voice sounded: "Duke Tywin, tonight may be another child's 'randomness'."

Duke Tywin didn't look away from below and said: "It seems that ordinary courses are not suitable for Joffrey."

After a pause, he said again: "Kevan, I'm still hesitating."

Sir Kevan sighed: "The scene that day (Chapter 329) reminded me of the Mad King..."

After a pause, he continued: "Duke Tywin, out of caution, I have sent Ser Adam to take over the protection of Magta."

He bowed: "Please forgive me for my self-assertion."

Duke Tywin looked away, snorted coldly, and said: "Aerys has at least been praised for a while. He is more like my daughter who likes to be smart."

After a moment of silence, Sir Kevan's deep and deep voice sounded: "If your efforts cannot bring about good changes..."

He raised his eyes and glanced at his brother: "After the war in the Riverlands has calmed down, I suggest you think about it carefully, for the sake of Lannister, and for you, Lord Tywin."

Lannister... Lord Tywin raised his eyes to look at the burning sunset. The hand behind his back clenched tightly for a moment, then loosened.

He turned around: "Kevan, is there any news from Marquis Frey?"

Sir Kevan shook his head slightly and replied: "The cunning weasel is still watching. I think the news that the wolf cubs have conquered Harrenhal has reached the Twins."

Duke Tywin narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Kevan, we need someone... to buy time for Lannister to mobilize the army."

He pondered: "Send someone to contact Mrs. Westerling."

Hearing this, Sir Kevan hesitated and said: "Duke Tywin, without Jeyne, can she still play a role for Lannister? Perhaps, I can secretly go to the Twins to show Lord Frey Sincerity in what you ask for.”

"The risk is too high. Lord Frey can no longer see the situation of the Seven Kingdoms. He is still immersed in his own beautiful dream. You can't wake up a person who is sleeping with his eyes open."

After a pause, Lord Tywin looked at his brother and said, "Kevan, a small stone can also change the direction of a horse's run."

…………

When he arrived at the gate of the Tower of Meg, Sir Jaime winked at Green. Seeing that the two of them stopped, Sir Garlan just nodded and walked in alone.

Standing together in silence for a while, Sir Jaime moved his lips and said, "I heard that you went to the dungeon this afternoon. Tyrion... Is he okay?"

Green's face was slightly dark, and he shook his head silently.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Jaime had been standing there in silence, Green said, "Doesn't Prime Minister Tywin allow you to visit Tyrion?"

Sir Jaime's green eyes moved slightly. He looked at Green for a while, and then shook his head tiredly.

Green spread his hands: "I think Tyrion would still like to see you directly. He loves his brother."

Ser Jaime's chest rose and fell slowly, and he said: "I... I still... I don't know how to face him... I don't know how to comfort him..."

He rubbed his face: "Father doesn't allow me to take the trial by combat on behalf of Tyrion."

"Sir, what you see is not the truth."

Green sighed slightly: "If you help Tyrion win the trial by combat, haven't you thought about what will happen next? The Dornish will only think that the Lannisters are playing tricks on them, and the fire of hatred will only become more intense."

Hearing the Dornish, Jaime's handsome face suddenly showed anger. He gritted his teeth and said: "Are all the Dornish people a bunch of idiots? How could Tyrion kill the Red Viper? Anyone can see that this is a false accusation! "

Green sighed again: "At this point, does the truth of the matter matter? Think about what happened more than a decade ago, the Kingslayer."

Ser Jaime took a deep breath and was silent for a long time. He looked at Green: "Can Tyrion wear black clothes?"

Green stared at him, paused, and reminded: "Jaime, wearing black clothes is no different from you winning the trial by combat for Tyrion. The result is the same for the Dornish. Perhaps this is also the most difficult part for Duke Tywin. At present, it seems that only by offering Tyrion's head can the surging anger of the Dornish be calmed. "

"Damn anger." Sir Jaime couldn't help but curse.

After a pause, Green reached out and patted Jaime on the shoulder, saying, "Actually, Dorne is far away, but with the current situation in the kingdom, no one dares to gamble, and... most people don't like to take risks."

After he finished speaking, Jaime looked straight at him, and he continued, "Also, within the rules of the game, you won't find a way to save Tyrion, sir."

"Within the rules... outside the rules..."

Mumbling, Jaime stared at Green, his expression complicated: "You want me to secretly let Tyrion go? Then you remind me of the so-called consequences, what's the difference?"

"It's not that I hope, sir. And..."

Green shook his head: "The difference is that your brother may be able to live well."

Sir Jaime opened his mouth and said, "You want Help me?"

Green shook his head again: "I will only help secretly. If you want me to help, you must swear first."

He spread his hands helplessly: "The risk I take is no less than yours. Don't forget, you are a Lannister."

The suspicion hidden in Sir Jaime's eyes gradually dissipated. He clenched his fists and whispered: "I must save Tyrion. I owe him."

He looked at Green again: "I will bear all the consequences. I need your help. I owe you one..."

As he said, he suddenly laughed at himself: "I already owe you a lot of favors."

Green rubbed his temples and said jokingly: "The consequences are not very serious. At most... after fighting the wolves and trout in the river bay, we will fight the Dornishmen who came from afar."

Because in the end Finally, with the decision made, Sir Jaime's face was somewhat relaxed. He also reluctantly joked: "It's not serious, just three opponents." Then, he slowed down and said: "Green, are you sure you can let me release Tyrion from the heavily guarded dungeon?" Green glanced at Jaime who became cautious, and he slowly said: "You should remember that Petyr Baelish, who was imprisoned in the black cell by Prime Minister Stark, suddenly disappeared in the cell? Because of that incident... The Royal Council ordered the gold cloaks to check all the secret passages hidden in the dungeon, and I was the commander-in-chief of the gold cloaks at the time. After carefully checking every stone and every gap, we found twelve secret passages of various sizes. They were all under the supervision of Varys, the former chief of intelligence, All buried."

Ser Jaime's eyes moved, and he guessed: "How many secret passages did Varys leave secretly?"

Green shook his head: "There were too many eyes staring at that time, and no one could do that."

Without waiting for Jaime to ask, he continued: "It was the blue robes I called to assist who discovered the thirteenth secret passage."

He smiled: "Because things were almost over at that time, I thought it was troublesome, so I didn't report it to the Royal Council."

Green took out a key and threw it to Jaime: "On the fourth floor of the dungeon, the second torture room at the innermost, move the torture table, and then turn over the stone slab below, you can use it."

After Ser Jaime put away the key, he said again: "I have to remind you that this is Tyrion's last chance to survive."

…………

When Green and Jaime stepped into the hall of Mega Tower, they saw the group of Rose Maids who were laughing and laughing: Meg Tyrell, Erlo Tyrell, Jaina Tyrell, Arlan ·Tyrell.

Next to them stood a man, Osney Kettleblack, who was barely smiling.

As soon as the two of them appeared, the hall suddenly became quiet, and then... Green felt four pairs of bright eyes moving towards him, but... they were just passing by.

Inadvertently, their eyes were all fixed on James next to Green.

The muffled excited voices of the girls soon reached my ears.

The fans did not forget to raise their skirts to the majestic Duke Greene, but when the handsome Sir James returned the gift gracefully, the roses couldn't help but make a sound of oh oh...

Taking a breath, Lord Green took the first step to leave.

The venue for Joffrey's small dinner was the restaurant on the second floor of the Megh Tower. Compared to other restaurants in the Megh Tower, it was relatively small in area, but the most gorgeously decorated. It is said that during the Targaryen dynasty, successive kings and The Queen often dines here.

As for the king and queen of the Baratheon dynasty... let's not mention it.

Green and Sir Garland stood in front of the colored window and chatted for a few words before Sir James appeared.

Arriving in front of him, James glanced at Green in a funny way and said, "Your Excellency, you disappeared as soon as I turned around."

Green shrugged: "Sometimes I can't help but be jealous of your charm, ser."

He looked at Sir Garland aside: "The little beauties in the hall are all fascinated by Sir James. I can't stay and disturb the beauty there."

Sir Garland showed a reserved smile: "I also heard many ladies talking about Sir James in Highgarden. I have to admit... I have also been jealous."

After saying that, he didn't know what he thought of, and his face suddenly darkened, but he quickly returned to normal.

Green's eyes moved slightly, and he continued to joke: "Sir James, next time, I will take the initiative to stay away from you."

Sir Jaime shrugged: "Okay, okay, I will try my best to cooperate with you."

His response earned a sideways look from Green, and Sir Garland couldn't help but laugh.

About half an hour later, the waiter sang: "The King's Hand—Lord Tywin Lannister—arrives—"

Duke Tywin appeared. He first glanced at the three people standing in front of the colorful window, then glanced at the long dining table, and then walked directly over and sat down.

Not long after, the waiter's chant sounded again: "Welcome—Keeper of the Realm—The Queen Regent—Her Majesty Cersei of House Lannister—"

Cersei entered the dining room surrounded by her maids. She made a lot of noise. Green, who had excellent eyesight, saw Lord Tywin sitting with his eyes closed... A vein on the top of his head twitched slightly.
