The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

"Margaery, you are the most beautiful woman in the world." After saying that, moving his lips, Tommen lowered his eyes shyly.

The low laughter of Margaery's maids came again, and Tommen's chubby face turned red.

Little Rose glared at Meg Tyrell and the others, and then smiled at Tommen: "Thank you, His Majesty Tommen I, for the compliment. I am really honored."

Tommen raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Margaery's rose-colored lips, and whispered: "I'm telling the truth."

"Of course it's the truth." Margaery chuckled. She stretched out a finger, tapped Tommen's chubby cheek, and said, "But His Majesty has not forgiven me for my previous offense..."

As she spoke, she lowered her face and said uneasily: "The king's majesty is inviolable. I ask for your forgiveness again. I shouldn't joke with you..."

Seeing this, Tommen hurriedly said: "Others can't, but you can!"

He tilted his head to observe Margery's expression, and continued nervously: "Besides, I don't think you are rash. You are my fiancée, Miss Margery."

After a pause, seeing that Margery still lowered her head and said nothing, he became even more nervous: "Did my words make you sad? I'm sorry, I...I...I asked the chef to make apples for you Cake (Tommen’s favorite food, Chapter 123)? Let me share a secret with you?”

After a period of silence, Margaery finally couldn't help but smile. When she heard her laughter... Tommen suddenly felt that the whole room became brighter.

Then Tommen's cheeks turned red: "Margaery, you tricked me again, I'm angry!"

Margaery curled her lips, kissed Tommen gently on his forehead, and said, "I choose to know your secrets. I want to know all the little secrets of my future husband."

Tommen couldn't help but nodded, but immediately puffed up his cheeks, turned his face to the other side, and said, "Humph, I also want to know all your secrets, and I want to exchange them with you."

Margaery smiled and made a gesture. Others nodded and left, and soon only two people were left in the room.

Tommen crossed his arms, glanced at Margaery, and said, "If you tell me first, I will forgive you, and I will also tell you my secret."

Margaery took off her exquisite boots and climbed onto the king's bed. She lay on her side next to Tommen, supported her cheek with one hand, stared at him for a while, and chuckled: "As you command, my majesty. Well... I shed tears." I was about the same age as you at that time."

Tommen could no longer pretend to be angry, and he immediately asked with concern: "Are you injured?"

Margaery seemed to be recalling: "Well...it can be considered injured."

After a pause, her red lips slightly opened: "At that time, my brothers were teaching me equestrian skills. I accidentally fell off the pony. It was very painful at the time, but in order to show that I was brave, I endured it and started again. Climbed into the saddle..."

She couldn't help but laugh: "Looking back now, I was really reckless when I was a kid."

Tommen nodded and said, "Then what? Did you fall again? Are you injured and bleeding?"

"It was actually bleeding, but I didn't know it at the time..."

Margaery suddenly lowered her voice, and Tommen couldn't help but hold his breath.

"Later, when I went back to the room to change clothes, I realized that I was bleeding. Mei Ge was with me at the time. We were both shocked. But I was worried that my father would know that I was injured while learning to ride a horse. I was worried that he would not allow me to ride a horse, so... I asked Meige to help me hide it, and the matter became a secret between me and her. "

Tommen scratched his head: "Does it hurt?"

Margaery stared at him with her brown eyes, tapped her chin, and said: "It hurts very much...but after I grew up to be a young girl, I regarded this little accident as the gods' love for me."

"Gods?" After thinking for a moment, Tommen said strangely: "Why do you need to be hurt to protect me?"

Hearing this, Margery was startled for a moment, and her voice was slightly hesitant: "This...because it is related to the place where I was injured..."

Tommen crossed his arms again and said seriously with a small face: "Uncle James told me that if you are injured, you must treat it in time. Some wounds may seem fine, but they may cause an accident in a few years. I can let Pycelle University Please re-examine the areas where you were injured..."

Margaery suddenly giggled, and under Tommen's doubtful eyes, she said: "He will refuse your order with trepidation, because I am already fine."

Then, she straightened her waist, supported her body with both hands, and whispered in Tommen's ear... After saying that, Margaery lay back again. She looked at Tommen who was blushing with shame, and chuckled: "Tommen Man I, I have shared a secret of mine with you.”

Tommen didn't dare to touch Margaery's eyes. He moved awkwardly and then said: "You...I...I have heard of this kind of thing..."

Margaery pursed her lips to hold back a smile, paused, tapped Tommen's cheek with her finger, and said: "I share this secret with you because I want to tell my fiancé. His fiancée is just like him, every day We are all looking forward to our wedding night.”

Tommen nodded heavily to Margaery: "I promise I will grow up as soon as possible."

"I trust you."

Margaery blinked and said, "It's your turn to share your secret, Your Majesty Tommen I."

Tommen suddenly fell silent. After a while, he finally spoke: "I dreamed about Joffrey..."

Hearing this, Little Rose stretched out her hand to hold Tommen's chubby hand, and said warmly: "Oh, does your brother care about you?"

After a pause, Tommen shook his head and said in despair: "He was very angry. He blamed me for taking away his crown."

Margaery's eyes trembled slightly and she comforted softly: "That's not your fault, Tommen. You are Joffrey's legal heir. You don't have to be sad about it."

Tommen's eyes were slightly red: "Actually, what makes me sad is not Joffrey's reprimand, but... but... I have never been sad because of his death..."

He looked at Little Rose with watery blue eyes: "I feel weird, I became a king, and the most beautiful woman in the world became my fiancée... This is all because Joffrey died, but I Without a trace of guilt, I lied to my mother... and told her that I was grieving the loss of Joffrey forever, when... in fact, I was grieving the death of my grandfather... which was my biggest 's secret."

"Joffrey I was very brave, and his family loved him." Margaery and Tommen looked at each other for a while, then stretched out her right hand to touch his face, and continued: "But he committed parricide. And you not only love your brother, but also your grandfather. I think your reaction is normal. Moreover, out of respect for your brother, you will also be a good king and try your best to make up for the regrets he left behind... No. ”

Tommen nodded heavily and said, "Yes, although I am not as brave as Joffrey, I will try my best to rule the kingdom well."

"I believe you will be the best king in history."

Margaery nodded with a gentle expression, and then, under Tommen's reluctant eyes, she stood up and climbed out of the bed gracefully.

When a pair of white bare feet touched the carpet under the bed, she suddenly turned her head, smiled at Tommen, and said: "Before you go to have breakfast with the Queen Mother, I will stay with you... Oh, I'm just a little bit Thirsty."

Tommen felt like he was being peeped and caught. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Please do as you please."

Crash--Margery came to the small round table next to the bed and poured a glass of wine. She picked up the gold wine glass inlaid with gems and took a sip of the bright red summer red.

She held the wine glass, faced Tommen on the bed, and said: "As for your mother... She loved Joffrey very much. This is a well-known thing. At that time... the Queen Mother must have been very sad. You have done enough." Well, my king."

Hearing this, Tommen looked a little depressed: "Mother loves Joffrey the most."

Margaery returned to the bed with light steps, leaned over and kissed the top of Tommen's head, looked at him, and said: "And I love you the most, which is fair, Your Majesty."

Tommen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it true, you love me the most?"

Margaery's beautiful eyes moved slightly, she tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked curiously: "Does anyone dare to deceive the owner of the Iron Throne?"

Tommen smiled happily: "I believe you, Margaery Tyrell."

The two looked at each other, and Margaery pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you... You see, Queen Cersei takes good care of you. She is a lioness who protects her cubs."

Tommen didn't seem to like hearing this comment: "I am almost ten years old, and I no longer need my mother's care."

"Yes, you are still her king."

Margaery raised her eyebrows, took a sip of her wine, and said, "But you will always be her little baby."

Tommen moved and whispered: "I am not a child."

"I love her very much and admire her. She is kind to me..." Margaery shrugged slightly and continued: "She is kind and... kind."

She put the wine glass aside, picked up the new clothes she prepared for Tommen, smoothed them slowly, and sighed: "She has experienced so many terrible things, first losing her husband, then her eldest son and father... No wonder she cares about you so closely, the kingdom is so busy with government affairs, and she can still have breakfast with you every day and always care about your growth... She is a good mother. "

She looked at him: "Okay, my king, it's time for you to change your clothes. I don't want to be blamed by the lioness for delaying your breakfast time."

After hearing the end, Tommen's face showed obvious displeasure: "Last time, it was my fault that delayed the time. Mom shouldn't blame you!"

Margaery helplessly shrugged her shoulders, waved the clothes in her hands, and said: "So, for the sake of your poor and innocent fiancée, please allow me to serve you and put it on."

Tommen struggled for a while and said, "Should I let your maid help me?"

Margery seemed very sad: "You don't like my service, right? Who do you like? Meg? Elo? Yalan? Could it be..."

Tommen said angrily: "No, I like you the most! If you joke again, I will be really angry!"

"Oh, then why don't you just let me obediently..."

The door to the king's bedroom was suddenly pushed open, and Meg Tyrell walked in in a panic.

Meg first bowed to the king, then came to Margaery's side and whispered a few words in her ear.

After listening to what Meg conveyed, Margaery's eyes trembled. She was silent for a moment and said, "Tommen, I have something to deal with."

She handed over the clothes: "Mei Ge, you will serve the king."

Seeing that Margaery was about to leave, Tommen couldn't help but said: "What happened? Do you need my help?"

Margaery stopped and looked at the little king on the bed: "It's not a big deal. There are pirates harassing the Reach. I want to know about the situation."

After saying that, she raised her skirt to Tommen, then turned around and took steps forward.

Outside the king's chamber.

Margaery appeared, and the Minister of the Navy, Lord Matus Rowan, Commander of the Redwyne Fleet, Lord Paxter Redwyne and others all saluted her.

Margaery saluted gently in return, and said calmly: "Does the Duke of Highgarden have any news?"

Lord Matus nodded slightly and said: "The Duke of Mace of Storm's End has dispatched 30,000 troops to help."

Margaery thought for a moment and said: "Will this affect my father's attack on Storm's End?"

Lord Matus replied calmly: "If we only besiege Storm's End, the remaining troops are enough."

"Miss Margaery."

Paxter looked at Little Rose and said: "The coast of the Reach does not have enough fleets to guard it. If the news of Greyjoy's invasion spreads in King's Landing, the captains of the Redwyne Fleet will definitely request to return to the Reach."

Margaery paced back and forth a few steps, glanced at the crowd , said: "No need to wait for their request, Lord Paxter (Lady Olenna's nephew), please lead all the Redwyne fleets to sail as soon as possible, the coast of the Reach needs your protection even more."

Paxter frowned and said: "Although your grandmother asked me to obey your orders, she also ordered me to protect you."

Margaery shook her head slightly: "Uncle (Lady Olenna's nephew), you can go and destroy Greyjoy without worry, Earl Matus will protect my safety, I will wait for you to return triumphantly in King's Landing."

Earl Matus reached out and patted Earl Redwyne, saying: "Please rest assured, I will protect Miss Margaery."

Earl Paxter said no more, he nodded.

Margaery's eyes moved slightly. She glanced at the waiters and maids who suddenly appeared in the far corridor and said, "Everyone, let's go to the king's study to discuss the specific arrangements. Please follow me."

…………

Under the scorching sun, the roaring lion flag fluttered, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

The siege ladders were erected roughly by the Lannister soldiers and leaned against the city wall, as if a group of ferocious pythons wanted to climb up the city.

The Tully soldiers guarding the city kept stabbing down with their spears, trying to push all the climbers down.

There were continuous screams, and soldiers kept falling from heights.

At the city gate, the huge battering ram hit the city gate again and again under the push of the Lannister soldiers, making a dull sound.

Every impact made the city gate tremble and wood chips flew.

Under the crazy attack of the Lannister army, Riverrun seemed to be groaning in pain.

On the highest tower on the city wall, Brynden Tully was motionlessly looking down at the battlefield below. When the Lannister army gathered densely under the city wall, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and waved his hand.

As he moved, the herald shouted: "Pour boiling oil!"

With a series of responses, Brynden's new orders soon reached the top of the attacked city wall.
