iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 121 Variables
At dusk, the sky gradually transitions from azure blue to a soft golden yellow.

Green's tone was gentle: "Tyrion, people are too calm and easy to appear ruthless."

The smile on Tyrion's face faded: "Green, you really saw my purpose!"

After all, his small shoulders shrugged, and he continued: "When talking to you, it feels too simple."

"I take it as a compliment."

Green raised his glass and gestured to Tyrion, took a sip of Summer Red, and said, "No matter what the method is, we must always express our anger for Queen Cersei."

Tyrion raised his eyebrows, with a smile on his face: "It's that simple?"

Green spread his hands: "The main reason is that she likes it. Don't forget what my job is! Other...you can ask Sir James, you should know his character very well."

Tyrion said helplessly: "Well, I always think too much in my little head, no wonder my old lady doesn't like to kiss my little face."

Saying that, Tyrion grinned: "I have time to learn how to serve Cersei with you."

Green smiled and said, "I have a good suggestion for you. It is said that Queen Cersei likes to watch juggling recently."

Tyrion laughed. "Forget it, her tastes are always fickle, unlike me..."

As he said that, Tyrion suddenly lowered his voice: "How did you gain from going to Pentos this time? I'm asking about Targaryen's young dragon."

Green raised his eyebrows: "What else can I do, the Red Castle has never given up hunting, and can only be displaced."

Tyrion scratched his hair: "It's a pity, unless it's the gods... His old man blesses me, I don't think I will be able to see the dragon with my own eyes in this life! If Targaryen had a dragon, he wouldn't run across the narrow sea The last two dragons hatched on Dragonstone at that time... two monstrously deformed dragons, not much bigger than the skull of a hound, were the last two dragons recorded by House Targaryen, and perhaps the last in the world Two, I should have given up a long time ago!"

Tyrion has had a morbid fascination with dragons since he was a child. When he attended the wedding of his sister and Robert Baratheon, he made up his mind to see the dragon heads hanging on the wall of the Targaryen throne room. .

At that time, King Robert had already replaced the dragon head in the throne room with banners and tapestries, but Tyrion still didn't give up, and finally found their collection in the dank cellar.

Tyrion had thought that dragon heads must be breathtaking, even daunting, but he had never imagined that they could be such beautiful things... black as onyx, smooth and clean, as if they would glisten in the light of the torch, so beautiful that People are dumbfounded.

Tyrion gestured with his hands: "When my sister was married, I saw a keel in the cellar of the Red Keep. Its jaws were so forbidding that they could swallow a whole buffalo in one gulp, or It is a legendary mammoth that roams the icy wasteland.

Looking through the books of historians, the ancestor of Lannister, King Roren of the Rock, faced the three dragons of Aegon the Conqueror, King Roren quickly chose to surrender to the Targaryen family!After seeing the huge keel, I have nothing but gratitude for it! "

Green nodded: "The great battle about 300 years ago, which the bards call the rage, the coalition forces of the King of the Rock and the King of the Reach fought against Aegon the Conqueror. Nearly [-] soldiers were burned to ashes by the dragon in one day. , including Meng En, King of the River Bend."

Tyrion took a sip of Summer Red, and said, "All the sons of Men Gardener IX were also burned alive by the dragon flames, the ruling family of the Reach Kingdom... the Gardener family is almost dead.

Harlan Tyrell, steward of the Reach King, offered Highgarden to Aegon the Conqueror, so Aegon the Conqueror granted House Tyrell both Highgarden and the Reach, and made him High Lord of the Reach. "

Green put the wine glass on the table: "Golden roses that never end."

Tyrion grinned: "Ha, the steward gave away his master's land, and instead became the master of the original master's land, Golden Rose had to work hard!

This is the craft that Golden Rose is best at. What I am more curious about is what they will give this time, and what do they want to get? "

Green's eyes moved slightly to look at Tyrion: "You seem to have found the answer?"

Tyrion asked back: "Isn't the Crab Claw Peninsula betting on the candidate for the new Prime Minister?"

Green unabashedly scorned: "Your Excellency, I am the chief affairs officer of Queen Cersei, and the tradition of the Crab Claw Peninsula is to directly serve the queen."

Tyrion said with a smile, "Now, do you understand my answer?"

Green frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "His Majesty Robert is still very young, and there are too many variables during the period. Golden Rose will not ignore this issue."

King Robert is only 36 years old this year (birth year 262AC), and normally the rule of Robert Baratheon I will last for a long time.

When Tyrion and Green talked about the problem, he was from the perspective of Casterly Rock City.

James, who was supposed to be the heir of Casterly Rock City, became the Kingsguard. According to Westeros' domain inheritance law, Tyrion Lannister is now the legal heir of Casterly Rock City, but he has not yet been personally recognized by his father.

Tyrion's small body leaned against the back of the chair: "As a friendly neighbor, I have to pay more attention. I heard that the Queen of Thorns in High Court is a very difficult old lady. And those half-hearted ministers, Everyone's good friend Petyr, the venerable grand maester, and Varys who lost his second child, King's Landing is so lively!"

Green said with a smile: "We speculate that Duke Ed is likely to be the next Prime Minister. He and King Robert have a deep relationship and they trust each other."

Tyrion nodded first, then grinned and said, "Our King can enjoy his pleasures at ease again, I really envy him!"

Tyrion said again: "What about you? Although you are Cersei's affairs officer, this does not prevent you from going to please the future Prime Minister in advance."

Green said with some disgust: "My lord Tyrion, are you serious? Are you sure the Starks in the North will accept this?"

Tyrion laughed: "The Red Castle is no longer full of sweet talk, but the strict government affairs of the kingdom! I can imagine the scene at that time, I think it must be very interesting!"

Green said with a smile: "If there are no other variables, they will not be used to each other's way of doing things. It will take a long time to build trust between each other."

"Variation?" Tyrion asked thoughtfully.

Green replied: "Don't forget that the Golden Rose is also in King's Landing. They come all the way, but they have to return empty-handed. It will make them very uncomfortable, and it will be embarrassing."

Tyrion pondered for a while with a serious face, and said, "In the beginning, Cersei recommended the Duke of Highgarden as a candidate for prime minister at the imperial meeting. What's the attitude of my old sister now?"

Green shrugged and said, "You don't want to know!"

"Aha……"

Tyrion's tone was mocking: "Well, this is my dear old sister. Fortunately, we have a kind and amiable father together."

Green nodded secretly, Duke Tywin is indeed "approachable".

Tyrion scratched his golden and white hair in some pain: "The truth is often cruel. Only then did I realize that it's ridiculous to stay here honestly and only complain to you."

What kind of man is Earl Greene?He is a man who combines humility, honesty, compassion, wisdom, bravery, honor, etc., cough!

He reached out and patted Tyrion: "Don't worry about Queen Cersei, let alone the Golden Rose. No matter what the situation is, it will not affect the safety of Her Highness the Queen. My sword can guarantee it."

Tyrion's movements froze, and he said awkwardly: "Green, why did you suddenly change?"

Green's eyebrows and eyes were smiling: "Tyrion, your little tricks have betrayed you, at least I now believe that the Lannisters are a family that loves each other."

Tyrion grinned: "Yes, father is kind, sister is gentle, brother is strict, brother is well-behaved, haha!"

After laughing for a while, Tyrion said: "You are unexpectedly reliable, and I can return to the arms of the beauties at ease. They only love me... Golden Dragon, hehe!"

Green smiled: "Your Excellency, please enjoy the wonderful time."

Treading, footsteps sounded, Green turned his face and found Surana's figure.

Tyrion still paid more attention to his image, and immediately restrained the wretchedness on his face.

"My master, this is the dinner invitation that was just delivered."

Green took the exquisite invitation card with a golden rose badge, opened it and took a look.

Green raised his eyebrows: "Tonight?"

After a moment of silence, Green said, "Surana, answer for me, and I will be on time for the appointment."

After Surana left, Tyrion teased, "Golden Rose is here to thank you for knocking out their Knight of Flowers?"

Green tapped the table a few times and said, "Hand of the King?"

"There is no doubt that they are eyeing the favorite of Cersei's old lady."

With that, Tyrion climbed awkwardly out of his chair.

After seeing off Tyrion, Green made some simple preparations, and then went to Tyrell's banquet location surrounded by the guards.

As night fell, the stars in the sky gradually appeared, and the moon began to reveal its shadow.

The breeze brushed against his cheeks, making Green feel a bit of coolness.

Green arrived in King's Landing early this morning, followed by Maegor Tower and Baelor Sanctuary. Today is quite a long day for him.

The invitation was in Margaery Tyrell's handwriting, and Green guessed it was Olenna Redwyne's instruction, because the hasty way of inviting was very Queen of Thorns.

The northern border has always been far away from King's Landing, and most people would be surprised that Duke Ed's name suddenly appeared on the list of prime minister candidates.

Everyone is well aware that the friendship between the wolf and the stag will naturally be a little urgent.

Lord Green is understanding.

About half an hour later, Green and his group came to the gate of Tyrell's mansion.

The main entrance of Tyrell's mansion was tall and imposing. The heavy oak door was pushed open, and Green entered inside under the guidance of the waiter.

Coming to the hall, Green saw Margaery who came to welcome her.

Margaery was wearing a simple green dress, and her long brown curly hair was loosely draped over her shoulders.

Margaery smiled like a flower: "Good night, Earl Green, I'm glad you can come, welcome."

As she spoke, Margaery gently stretched the back of her hand towards Green.

"Good night, Miss Margery, it is my honor to be invited."

Her fingers were slender and slender, and Green gently raised her fingertips and gave a symbolic nod to the back of her hand.

"My grandmother is upstairs."

Margaery turned her body slightly, and stretched out a hand towards the stairs. Her movements were light and elegant.

Green paused slightly, and said, "Your grandmother...the Queen of Thorns?"

Margaery glanced sideways at Green: "Don't mention this title in front of her, Earl Green."

Margaery didn't mean to blame, but her behavior showed that the relationship between the two was very close.

Green recalled the past. When he was in High Court, he and Margaret were more polite, and they had never been as close as they are today.

Green's eyes trembled slightly... One of them sang the red face, the other sang the bad face, today's role assignment?
…………

Green smiled gently: "Miss Margery, thank you for your kind reminder, you are so considerate!"

Margaret looked at Green with elk-like eyes, and smiled softly: "Let's go there quickly, my grandmother is waiting for you, her patience is not very good."

Next to the wooden door upstairs stood two guards wearing gold-plated half-helmets and green robes trimmed with gold thread, with the golden rose of Highgarden embroidered on their chests.Both of them were seven feet tall, with broad shoulders and thin waists, and muscular bodies.

The two men had the same strong jaws, the same deep blue eyes, and the same thick red beards.

Green just glanced at the indistinguishable twins, and stood in front of the door.

Margaret beside her offered to introduce: "The two are my grandmother's personal guards. One is named Eric and the other is called Aric. Since it is difficult to tell them apart, my grandmother simply called them left hand and right hand."

Green nodded and said, "It's a very wise name."

Eric and Aric didn't look sideways, and slowly opened the wooden door.

In the fireplace, the fire was crackling and burning, and a dry old woman with white hair was sitting at the head of the long table.

Margaery led Green to the front of the old woman, with her hands folded on her lower abdomen: "Lord Green, I am honored to introduce you to my grandmother Lady Olenna, the former Duke of Highgarden Lord Rose Tyrell widow of Lord Mace Tyrell, now Lord of Highgarden."

Green touched his chest and saluted: "Good night, Mrs. Olenna, it is my great honor to meet you."

Green smelled a strong scent of rose water.

Mrs. Olenna stared at Green's face for a while with cloudy eyes, and then said kindly: "Sit down, child! I am very glad that you are willing to come to have dinner with me, an old woman."

Green first thanked Mrs. Olenna, then nodded slightly to Margery, and then sat down.

After several waiters quickly filled the long table with all kinds of delicacies, they left the room, leaving only Green, Olenna, and Margaery.

Mrs. Orianna's tone was faltering: "Child, the old woman doesn't have so many rigid rules here, so hurry up! I heard that you just arrived in King's Landing today, and you were busy beating up my little grandson. You must be very hungry now!"
