The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Lord Mace Tyrell's cheeks puffed up for a while, and he said leisurely: "Reconstruction is time-consuming and labor-intensive. I can hand over the command of the Redwyne Fleet in Blackwater Bay to the Royal Council. How about that?"

Golden Rose's voice fell, and Green saw a flash of coldness in Lord Tywin Lannister's eyes, and he pursed his lips slightly.

Prime Minister Tywin frowned and asked: "Generous Lord Mace, are you going to give the Redwyne ships to the sailors of the royal fleet who are waiting for new ships?"

Lord Mace blurted out: "How can this be possible."

Lord Tywin stared at Lord Mace for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said: "Then please reconsider my proposal."

Lannister is equivalent to "half-giving" the Stormlands to the Tyrell family. According to the proposal... When Joffrey and Margaery give birth to their next son, that is, the child who will inherit the Stormlands, during this period of nearly 20 years...The Tyrell family has the right to rule the Stormlands, and this time is enough to support the Stormlands nobles who are "close" to the Tyrells. Moreover, the child has half Tyrell blood. Even if he inherits the Stormlands...if the operation is done properly, for example...let the child marry a lady from the Tyrell family, the Tyrell family's rule in the Stormlands may be unshakable.

Thinking of this, the Duke of Mace's heartbeat quickened, and even felt that his breathing became a little heavy. The dignified supreme leader of the River Reach immediately suppressed the excitement in his heart.

But...the Duke of Mace was still hesitant. Would Lannister really be so generous? He suspected that Lannister was hiding some conspiracy. He did not trust Lannister.

The Duke of Mace's expression was actually well hidden, but it could not escape the eyes of the old lion.

He seemed to see through the Golden Rose's thoughts: "I am for my grandson, and you are for your future grandson. Lannister and Tyrell may take the initiative to put aside the personal hatred caused by the accident, for all enemies of the Iron Throne, respected Duke of Mace."

The old lion is an extremely proud person. Even if the situation requires him to take the initiative to "reconcile" with the Golden Rose, he cannot put down his arrogant attitude.

But the Duke of Mace was very satisfied with this. The old lion rarely lowered his head, which made him see the sincerity of Lannister in cutting the cake.

He was finally relieved.

"I accept your proposal, Duke Tywin."

After saying that, the Duke of Mace smiled heartily, and he also reached out and patted Duke Tywin on the back to show his closeness.

The old lion's chest and abdomen rose and fell slightly, and he said calmly: "Very good."

"Duke Green."

After a pause, Duke Tywin pointed to a location on the map, looked at Green, and said: "This stag licking its wounds, I hope you can deal with it, regardless of life or death."

Looking at the location of Dragonstone on the map, Green's eyebrows slightly raised. Lannister is going to send away the two dukes of King's Landing... The old lion wants to "single" the little wolf in exchange for honor? Or, to be precise... He has already been sure of winning? !

The Duke of Mace, who was still in a happy mood, saw Duke Tywin pointing to Dragonstone, and his brows couldn't help but frown slightly. After a pause, he continued to stroke his beard.

The old lion's voice sounded again: "Duke Green, when your army breaks through Dragonstone, the person you proposed will serve as the acting lord of Dragonstone before the crown prince comes of age."

Green's brows just frowned, and he continued: "Half of the warships needed for the reconstruction of the royal fleet, I can give to the shipyard in Seagull Town."

After a moment of silence, Green stretched out a finger and pointed to the location of Crab Island: "It should return to Crab Claw Peninsula (Chapter 188)."

Duke Tywin's light green eyes moved slightly, and said: "Duke Green, I hope you can serve as the military tutor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Duke Green and Duke Tywin looked at each other for a while, and he shook his head slightly: "I am good at charging, and King Joffrey's child..."

He smiled at another person: "I think as the heir to the Iron Throne, it is more suitable to learn the art of war from his grandfather."

Tonight is a naked large-scale transaction, and the communication between the three dukes is less euphemistic.

Glancing at the inflatable fish with a look of relief, Lord Tywin calmly announced: "I will retry Lord Adrian Celtigar's treason in the name of the king."

[Lord Celtigar, the ruler of Crab Island, once served Stannis. After being captured in the Battle of King's Landing, he surrendered to King Joffrey (Chapter 267)]

In just a few words, the Lannisters and Crabbe reached a deal. As a result, the ancient and noble Celtigar family, which originated from the Valyrian Freehold, will completely lose their new homeland after leaving Valyria - Crab Island.

Without the original ruling family on Crab Island, Crabbe can claim its rule and bring nearly 20,000 people there into the ruling area. The legal basis comes from the legendary hero of the Crab Claw Peninsula - Clarence Crabbe, and with the support of the Red Castle, he can legitimately accept the rule of the Celtigar family.

Green nodded and said, "I will mobilize my fleet as soon as possible."

Duke Mace hesitated. He wanted to ask the fleet of the Reach in Blackwater Bay to help, but he held back after thinking about it... Stannis only had some broken ships left. This was just a small matter. He could ask at another time.

Watching Green "bargaining" with Duke Tywin, Duke Mace couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It would be great if he had more daughters. Perhaps, he could talk to Green about the marriage of the next generation of Tyrell and the next generation of Crabbe.

Well, Villas' wife needs to be chosen as soon as possible, so... the time is just right.

After cutting the "cake", Duke Tywin glanced at the people present and said: "Duke Mace, Duke Green, let's set a time to send troops."

…………

"Next, let's talk about the public trial."

…………

The stars in the night sky shone like diamonds. When Green walked out of the Prime Minister's Tower, it was already dark.

Seeing that the person beside him seemed to be distracted, Green smiled and said, "Duke of Metz, are you satisfied tonight?"

Hearing Green's voice, Duke Metz blinked. He came back to his senses, laughed, and said, "I want to try the wine of Crab Island if I have the chance."

"my pleasure."

After a pause, Duke Mace looked around, pulled Green aside, and said, "Green, don't you think Duke Tywin is too sincere tonight?"

After being "touched", Duke Mace's vigilance towards the Lannister family once again took over. Some hatred is difficult to eliminate, and interests only suppress it temporarily.

Green pondered for a moment and said: "You also know the current situation. I think Duke Tywin has to give up some of his 'interests'."

The Duke of Mace nodded in agreement at first, then snorted and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Lannister is really greedy."

Duke Mace stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then said: "Green, I thought Duke Tywin would ask us for help tonight..."

Having said this, he felt a little angry. The old lion didn't do what he expected at all, making all his preparations in vain.

He continued: "Are you optimistic about the Lannister war in the Riverlands? Do they have a way to deal with the Northern Cavalry?"

After saying that, he felt that it was a pity that if the Lannister army continued to lose in the Riverlands and the Kingdom, Duke Tywin's prestige would be greatly damaged. At that time... the old lion would no longer be able to sit as Prime Minister.

In addition to Storm's End Castle, the Duke of Metz is also obsessed with the Prime Minister's glittering necklace.

If you are familiar with Duke Mace, it is easy to see some of his thoughts. Green covered his mouth and coughed lightly, saying: "According to the current situation, Duke Tywin should be very clear that he must make achievements to show to the nobles of the seven countries." , he had to choose this way.”

Hearing this, the Duke of Mace said angrily: "It turns out that he asked the two of us to leave King's Landing to prevent us from doing things in secret. The Lannister is so defensive about its allies. They are really despicable."

After a pause, he glanced at Green, and then said: "Lannister is an ally that needs to be vigilant."

"Thank you for the reminder, I will remember it."

After a moment of silence, Green continued: "Duke Mace, I have a guess. Perhaps Duke Tywin has the confidence to defeat Robb Stark."

The Duke of Metz was startled for a moment and said: "What do you mean..."

Green nodded slightly and said: "It's not just the battlefield that determines the outcome of the war. We also need to make some preparations just in case."

Duke Mace was silent for a while and said: "It seems that Duke Tywin's purpose of luring us away from King's Landing is not as simple as it seems."

Green nodded seriously.

The Duke of Metz couldn't help but rub his head. He had received a bit too much information tonight, which made him feel a little tired... He needed Mrs. Olenna's help to analyze it.

After a brief chat with Green, the Duke of Metz went directly to the maiden residence where Lady Olenna stayed.

The place Green went to was Mega Tower. The chess game had changed. King Green planned to write a letter overnight and send out the messenger crow at dawn, so that the Eagle's Nest City and Whispering City could prepare as soon as possible.

"Good night, Your Majesty."

Green met Sir Osfry Kettleblack, who was keeping vigil at the gate of Mag Tower.

"Good night, Sir."

Grimm led Ser Brienne of Tarth inside, while the other guards stayed outside, and the guards from Mag's Tower would arrange a place for them to rest.

Ground floor of Meg Tower.

Rustling, rustling, Green is sitting at the table writing. This is the room he has used since he was the queen's steward. It is spacious enough. As his status increases, the decorations in the room become more gorgeous.

Green wrote a letter, while Brienne was sealing wax with the tools she brought with her.

Green pulled out another blank piece of parchment and said, "I will write this letter longer, and you can sleep for a while."

Brienne glanced at the lord with her clear blue eyes, shook her head, put the letter away, and returned to the door to continue guarding.

The quill was stained with ink, and Green was about to write when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Green frowned slightly. Queen Cersei didn't like night raids... Who could it be?

Tuk-tuk-tuk, Jaime's voice came through the door: "Duke Green, I am Jaime Lannister."

The door was pushed open by Brienne, and Sir Jaime's figure appeared. He smiled at her: "Thank you, Sir Tarth."

Green looked at Ser Jaime, who was sitting opposite him, with sunken eyes and pale face, and said, "Brenne, please pour us a glass of wine."

Jaime Lannister leaned weakly on the back of his chair. He seemed to be explaining the reason for his appearance here: "Today is my night watch. I heard you spent the night here, so I came to take a look."

When Brienne filled up the wine, Jaime looked at her and said, "Thank you, madam."

Brienne frowned and looked at her lord. When she saw the gesture, she left the room.

Sir James picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, spread his hands and said, "I am really unpopular."

Green swung his glass and said, "Are you here tonight to complain about these boring things?"

After taking a sip of summer red, he added: "She doesn't like people like you who are too popular with women."

James laughed: "Yeah, everyone loves the White Knight."

Green said nothing, but stretched out five fingers towards Sir James.

James smiled, and in order to "cooperate" with Green's joke, he touched his hand to his waist, and then withdrew his hand slightly embarrassed. The money bag he was carrying had already been paid to the big bathhouse.

Seeing this, Green chuckled: "Tonight is free, tell me, the purpose of the late night visit, this white knight."

"You are so generous."

Sir James shrugged, paused, raised his eyes to stare at the ceiling, and whispered: "I seem to have guessed the answer to the riddle..."

Hearing this, Green's eyes moved slightly: "What are your plans?"

James' eyes moved to Green: "You don't want to ask me the answer?"

Green's tone was filled with disgust: "Sir, do you think I would be curious?"

Tonight, Jaime's deep eyes had no luster. He sighed longly: "I'm sorry, you and Tyrion... I know you reminded me out of good intentions."

Green rubbed the body of the wine glass and said: "If you plan to deal with Sir Osney privately, I suggest you deal with the three Kate Black brothers together so as not to leave any trouble for yourself."

Sir James's face was bitter: "To be honest, I have thought about it too, but I gave up. For the time being... this is it."

"That's fine." Green nodded slightly.

James was stunned. He suddenly looked at Green: "Whose side are you on?"

Green replied angrily: "Cersei Lannister, of course."

After a moment of silence, Sir Jaime said as if he was mocking himself: "Yes, everyone loves Cersei."

He sneered: "If she doesn't want to, who can force her?"

After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp.

James left the chair, and when he was about to reach the door, Green's voice sounded: "Are you ready, my friend?"

James tilted his head, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "Lannister must pay his debts."

…………

The weather near Harrenhal was dark, wet, and drizzly.

Under the command of King Robb, they set up camp. Some took care of the horses, some cut wood, and some set up tents. The soldiers of the North and the Riverlands were busy.

At this time, the captain of the guard, Leonard Westerling, strode over and said respectfully: "Your Majesty the King, this is a letter from Duke Tully that was just sent."
