The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Sir Davon continued to vent his anger: "Before this, I sent Sir Fowler as my envoy to the Bent Kneestack, hoping to discuss the siege of Riverrun together, but he was treated like a humiliation! Not only did he let I handed over the provisions and warned me that if the war goes against him, he will take over the war in Riverrun! He is just a lucky upstart, an upstart from the swamps of Crab Claw Peninsula, and the swamp flowers are constantly provoking the lions!"

Sir James raised his eyebrows and said, "Did Sir Fowler come back safely? No arms or legs missing?"

Sir Davon looked puzzled. James shrugged and said, "Don't forget the nickname of the Lord of the Crab Claw Peninsula...the Half-Savage Noble."

Then he frowned, looked at Sir Davon, and said in a serious voice: "My cousin, although you are the Guardian of the West, he is the Duke of the Eagle's Nest and a famous general known to all seven countries. When we were in the Red Castle , even my father and Uncle Kevan must respect his advice... From another perspective, you sent an envoy to him to discuss the war, and he came to take care of the refugees in the Riverlands. Wouldn't this look like to him? It seems like a provocation?"

Sir Davon scratched his messy hair and said blankly: "Should I meet Duke Kleb in person?"

James raised his glass to Davon: "Believe me, he is a Duke who is easy to get along with."

After taking a sip of wine, Sir Davon sat down, paused, and sighed: "In terms of qualifications, James should be the Guardian of the West. It's not that I don't like this honor, but the title of Guardian of the West not only makes me The accident also made me feel heavy. No one thinks I am qualified to wear it, but you are different. The lords, knights and soldiers of the West will love you."

His eyes were sincere: "I am very happy that you can come. Really, I hope that you will take over this important task. I will listen to your orders, Cousin James."

Ser James smiled half-heartedly: "Does the three-month deadline of the Council scare you?"

Hearing this, Sir Davon almost jumped up from his chair: "Lions are not afraid!"

Sir James couldn't help but smile. He stood up and walked over, patting Davon on the shoulder: "In that case, then protect this honor well. I will support you, my cousin."

"But...but..."

James squeezed Davon's thick shoulders with his big hands and said: "No but, don't forget, I am the Kingsguard. According to the tradition of the White Knight, I am not qualified to inherit the title of Guardian of the West."

Sir Davon scratched his yellow hair again: "Didn't you serve as the guardian of the East Mirror before (Chapter 130)?"

Ser Jaime reached for the wine glass, took a sip of wine, was silent for a moment, and said, "Robert doesn't pay attention to my feelings."

Seeing that James's face became a little heavy, Sir Davon did not ask further questions. He changed to a lighter topic: "How is Cersei? Is she still as charming as before?"

James couldn't hide his stiff look, and after a while he said: "She is beautiful and golden."

Jaime's reaction seemed to Davon that he was missing his sister. Everyone in the Lannister tribe knew that their brother and sister had a deep relationship since childhood and were almost inseparable.

Tsk, we have only been separated for a few days... Sir Davon stood up, patted Jaime's arm comfortingly, and said: "The sooner Riverrun is defeated, the sooner you can return to Cersei's side. Hurry up. , I am also eager to go to the Red Castle to meet my charming cousin and make her happy with the head of the black fish. "

"My mission is to train the brothers of the Kingsguard."

This time it was Sir Jaime who changed the subject. He walked a few steps and stood in front of the table, looking at the deployment marked on the map: "Riverrun has been completely surrounded by you... Davon, Blackfish should be very clear. Li is doomed to fail, didn’t you negotiate with him?”

Davon also looked down at the map: "Of course, as soon as the envoy I sent rode to the city gate, his horse was hit by an arrow from Blackfish and fell into the mud. He was telling Lannister that he would fight to the death with us. We There is no choice but to attack."

After discussing for a while, Davon said: "Let's go out for a walk together. Everyone must be waiting to see you, James."

They walked out of the tent and patrolled the camp together. James met enthusiastic familiar and unfamiliar faces. In front of a campfire, three crossbowmen invited him to share the hares they had hunted, and a young knight from the Westerlands asked him for guidance on how to defend against warhammer attacks.

Walking downstream along the river, I saw two women riding on the shoulders of two tall soldiers, competing on the shallows. The two of them were half drunk and their clothes were disheveled. They were laughing and grabbing each other's messy clothes, while a dozen other soldiers gathered around and cheered loudly.

James' expression couldn't help but become relaxed. To be honest...this was the life he liked, and it was much more comfortable than staying in the palace.

When he was thinking about betting a bronze star on the lady, Sir Davon, who had temporarily left due to military duties, came back in a hurry.

"James, Aunt Gina (Tywin's sister) knew you were coming and asked you to go over and see her. These were her exact words." After saying that, Sir Davon laughed.

Sir James was pulled away by Davon: "Ms. Gina is becoming more gentle."

They deliberately boarded the boat at the ferry close to Riverrun and headed to Camp Frey on the north bank of the Tengshi River.

Floating on the small boat were the pure white banner of the Kingsguard, Tommen's banner of the deer and the lion, and the banner of the Lannister roaring lion.

Standing on the deck of the bow of the ship, James looked up and saw archers walking back and forth between the city teeth on Riverrun, the Tully family flag fluttering in the wind, and silver trout leaping fearlessly on the red and blue stripes.

However, on the highest tower, a long ice wolf flag was flying.

The Tully family castle was like a giant stone ship cutting through the waves in the surging river, and the tall and thick sandstone walls were bathed in the golden red sunlight.

Jaime remembered that when he first visited Riverrun, he was still as tender as summer grass... Lord Sumner Crakehall of the Westerlands (Jaime served as his squire when he was young) sent him to deliver a letter, saying that the letter was of great importance and that for safety reasons, a raven could not be used.

After the letter was delivered, Lord Hoster Tully kept him for half a month in the name of carefully replying to the letter, and... every time he ate, he let his little daughter, Lysa Tully, sit next to him.

Miss Lysa was very beautiful at that time, with a pair of cute dimples on her delicate face and long maroon hair. When he took the initiative to talk to her, she was very shy and rarely spoke, only laughing secretly beside him, without any passion of Cersei.

Compared to Miss Lysa, Jaime felt that Hoster's eldest daughter, Catelyn Tully, was more attractive, but she was already engaged. Her fiancé was the brother of the current Duke of Winterfell, the former heir of Winterfell, and later he witnessed the Mad King burning him alive, Brandon Stark.

However, compared to his interest in girls, Brynden Tully, who was famous in the Seven Kingdoms, was more attractive to him. He ignored the shy Miss Lysa at the dinner table and was busy asking about the wonderful "story" of Sir Brynden in the Battle of the Ninepenny Kings.

Sir Blackfish was younger than he is now...

Now, they are about to face each other with swords...

…………

After getting off the boat and entering the Frey camp, Jaime couldn't help but frown. The tents and campfires here were so disordered and scattered that he even suspected that a raid of one or two hundred people would cause the lazy Frey soldiers to flee directly.

As soon as they approached the Marquis' tent with the twin tower flags flying high, the door was opened and a hearty female voice came out: "Oh, you are finally here, Jaime, right?"

Genna Lannister's square body filled the entire tent door, and her thin husband secretly peeked out from behind her and looked at Jaime.

She opened her big arms: "After a long time of separation, don't you want to give your dear aunt a warm hug?"

Jaime smiled helplessly, then hugged her dutifully, waiting for his aunt to pinch his ears... Since he could remember, Lady Gena liked to pinch his ears.

However, today she held back and only left a wet and soft kiss on his face.

Lady Gena looked Jaime up and down, and said with emotion: "The sorrow of Lannister should end."

Jaime smiled, nodded, and said: "Yes, everything will be fine, I promise, Lady Gena."

"Oh--he must be pleased with your strength, I mean Tywin."

Hearing his wife mention Tywin's name, Jaime's uncle, Lord Emmon Frey, seemed to have finally waited for the opportunity to interrupt, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Tywin is a legend in the Seven Kingdoms once in a thousand years."

The Lord Emmon, who was only in his early forties, had only a few sparse white hairs on his head. Because he had no chin, his protruding Adam's apple looked funny.

His hands were always twisted restlessly, because he was short and thin, and he looked like a reed in a woolen coat.

Jaime smiled politely: "Thank you for your compliment, Lord Marquis."

At the age of fourteen, Emmon went to Casterly Rock to marry Genna Lannister. This marriage was arranged by Jaime's grandfather, Lord Tytos Lannister, and this marriage made Tywin Lannister very angry.

At that time, because of his fear of Tywin, Emmon was so nervous in Casterly Rock that he couldn't eat anything and became thinner and thinner. Aunt Genna also had a role in this.

And at several banquets, Emmon could only fiddle with the food sullenly, while Aunt Genna happily made dirty jokes with the knights around her.

Although Lady Genna was not satisfied with the marriage arranged by her grandfather, she still gave Emmon four sons, or rather...she claimed that they were his sons.

No one dared to question Genna Lannister, especially her husband, Emmon Frey.

Sir Davon found an excuse to leave and sent away the servants. Only Jaime, Genna and Emmon were in the tent.

"Jaime, I've heard a lot of strange rumors that are simply unbelievable to me. How could Tyrion kill the Red Viper of the Martell family? How could Joffrey kill his grandfather? And the little king drowned in the bathtub?"

After a moment of silence, Jaime nodded slightly and said in a heavy tone: "Everything is true, but Tyrion is innocent."

Marquis Emmon sighed: "Now is the darkest time in the Seven Kingdoms. Lord Tywin is gone. I am really worried about everyone."

"Shut up, this is not the point I'm talking about. If Tywin were here now, you should be worried about everyone."

Lady Gina taught her husband a lesson, and then she put her huge butt on a folding chair, and the chair immediately made a dangerous "creaking" sound.

She snorted coldly and said, "Aimen, can't you go out and get some fresh air first?"

Marquis Aimen asked doubtfully, "Breathe some fresh air?"

Mrs. Gina said impatiently, "Or pee? My nephew wants to discuss family matters with me."

Hearing this, Marquis Aimen's face turned red, and he quickly said, "Yes, it's too hot here, I'd better go out for a walk."

As soon as Lord Emmon left, Lady Genna rolled her eyes: "This is my husband. He hasn't even secured his position in the Twins yet, but he's already thinking about Riverrun. Last night he told me on the bed that he wanted to be the Lord of the Riverlands."

Her huge breasts rose and fell: "In order for my sons not to lose their father so soon, I kicked him off the bed."

Jaime couldn't help laughing and comforted him: "I guess Lord Emmon should also be considering your sons."

Lady Genna snorted and said: "If Robb Stark hadn't held the 'Red Wedding' in the Twins, the title of Marquis would never be It is far from being Aemon's turn to inherit. Now everyone calls him the lucky marquis. "

Jaime picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Lady Gena, saying: "Aunt Gena, I am only lucky that you have safely passed the danger..."

Lady Gena waved her hand and said: "My sons and I are alive because I never believed in the young Stark who had broken his engagement. The first thing I did after crawling out of the cave was to ask someone to expand the cave entrance. I almost didn't crawl in."

After laughing with her nephew for a while, Lady Gena suddenly said: "I heard that Tywin laughed in the coffin. Is it true?"

Jaime shrugged slightly: " He rotted in his coffin, his mouth twisted."

"That's all?"

Lady Gena's voice was a little sad: "Everyone says Tywin never smiles, but that's not true. He smiled happily on the day he married your mother and the day he was appointed Prime Minister by Aerys. Tyget (Tywin's second brother, who died of smallpox after marriage) also told me that when Tarbeck Hall collapsed and buried the cunning Lady Ellyn (the rainy season in Castamere), Tywin smiled. When you were born, Jaime, he also smiled. I saw it with my own eyes, and it is absolutely true. "

Take a sip of wine and reply sweetly The memory made her smile: "You and Cersei, two pink little things, perfect, like two peas in a pod, only different between the legs... You had a loud voice at that time."

Jaime grinned: "Listen to my roar... I didn't expect my father also loved to laugh."

Lady Gena shook her head slightly and said: "No, Tywin doesn't trust smiles. He has seen too many people laugh at your grandfather."

She frowned for a while and said: "I heard that Kevan and Cersei were not happy. Tell me, now that Kevan has passed away... What will your sister do? Will she settle Kevan's heir?"
