iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 197 Blood and Fire Come from the Same Origin 5
Margaery Tyrell's brown eyes were filled with surprise: "Earl Green?"

Mrs. Olenna's eyes were deep, and her slender fingers covered with wrinkles knocked on the armrest of the chair, and said: "I always thought that boy thought that my stupid pig son was easy to coax, so he deliberately approached him and used his deft tongue to touch him. He boasts an inflated ego, but I think the little savage has always done his best for the Wild Boar Duke, and the old woman is a little doubtful of her own judgment..."

After saying that, Mrs. Olenna looked at her granddaughter: "My Margaery, is your father the favored one of the gods? Otherwise, I really can't find a suitable reason to explain to my stupid son why There will always be helpers around him.”

Margaery's mind flashed to the Grimm Kleb who only valued Queen Cersei, and she had doubts about Grimm's sincerity.

She quickly remembered the dawn when they "escaped" from King's Landing. At that time, Green had no intention of letting Renly go, so she had to step forward. In the end, before she could say anything, he chose to let Renly go directly... because of the High Garden. The charm of light?Maybe, but only a little bit... To be precise, that's the charm of the Duke of Highgarden.

The corners of Little Rose's mouth curved slightly. She remembered the proud look of her father stroking his beard after hearing this. He couldn't hide the joy on his face and repeated several times: Green is a good boy.

So, everything Earl Green said is true?Did he really admire her father?Thinking of this, Margaery was distraught.

…………

Lady Olenna spoke slowly: "The old woman met the little fox in private before leaving King's Landing. Before leaving, he said something that impressed me deeply. He said that he believed in the Golden Rose under the leadership of the Duke of Metz. You always have the power to choose.”

Margaery's pupils narrowed and she said, "Why is Earl Green telling you this?"

Mrs. Olenna looked at her granddaughter's face with kindness: "My Margaery, there is no hint of right or wrong, that's why I say that Green is an alien from the den of savages."

Margery thought about her grandmother's words and said, "Well, he looks like a Southern knight."

After saying that, Little Rose frowned slightly and continued to think. Her grandmother seemed to have seen what she was thinking.

Mrs. Olenna said: "My Margaery, you need to learn to be flexible in the game of thrones. This is directly related to the final result."

Margaery tapped her chin.

Lady Elena patted the back of Margaery's white and tender hand and said: "The old woman is telling you this because she wants to tell you that even without Renly, your grandmother can still find a way to wear the queen's crown for her granddaughter. .”

Under Margaery's surprised gaze, she continued: "Obviously, old woman, I haven't seen the possibility of Renly failing, so... when he sits on that iron chair in the Red Keep, I will do it again. Come here, my Margaery."

"grandmother……"

"When the time comes, grandma will teach you one last lesson."

Margery's eyes were slightly red, and her head gently rested on her grandmother's thin shoulder. Her heart was filled with reverence and gratitude for her grandmother.

Lady Olenna touched Margaery's hair and said: "The only thing that worries me is that Renly and your father regard this war as a game...a grand tourney. They seem to be addicted to it." Children who love songs and stories, and children always think they are powerful."

She sighed: "I see danger, but I don't see danger, and your father is obsessed with the prospect of seeing his grandson sitting on the Iron Throne in the future and can't extricate himself. My advice at this time will be regarded by my stupid son as coming from his old mother." nagging."

Mrs. Olenna said angrily: "I don't do useless things."

After a pause, she sighed and said, "As I said, we can't see the possibility of Renly failing, so I won't be that annoying old woman."

Margaery comforted her softly: "Grandma, father will not regard your advice as nagging, he is just too happy."

Mrs. Olenna snorted coldly and said: "Margery, even if you believe that you can see the legendary dragon tomorrow, don't believe in your father's stupid head."

Margaery couldn't help but chuckle.

Mrs. Olenna patted the little rose kindly. She showed a rare smile and said: "Smart Margery, remember your grandmother's words."

After saying that, she stood up tremblingly: "The old woman has to go on a journey tomorrow, so you should rest early."

Margaery took her grandmother's arm, walked a few steps, and suddenly said: "Grandma, do you think Earl Green can believe it?"

Mrs. Olenna said as she walked: "As long as you can stay vigilant, you can trust anyone, my Margaery."

Margaery nodded slightly, this was her grandmother's teaching and she never forgot it.

Mrs. Olenna pondered for a moment and murmured: "It's beautiful to say and beautiful to do. He is an anomaly."

Crab Claw Peninsula, Mermaid Harbor, Government Affairs Office.

Earl Green leaned on the back of his chair and picked up Daenerys's autographed letter again. The words in the letter were filled with the purest love, the love between a man and a woman.

Lord Green, who was always steady, tapped the armrests of the chair one by one with his slender fingers, frowning for a while, then relaxing his brows, and so on.

Lord Greene is focused on the front station of the Iron Throne - the Vale. Under his management of repeatedly jumping between the major forces, the Crab Claw Peninsula finally ushered in the opportunity to challenge the Vale. However, according to the comprehensive strength of the Crab Claw Peninsula , it can also be said that there is only one chance.

If defeated, Green's strength will grow by leaps and bounds, but...if defeated or stalemate, Kleb's Crab Claw Peninsula will be truly devastated, and will lose its strength and initiative to compete for hegemony. .

Greene had occasional feelings for beauties along the way, but never seriously considered such things because the lord's marriage was more than just a romantic love story.

Green dismissed the beautiful faces that kept appearing in his mind, and he allowed himself to think rationally... what changes would the marriage of Kleb and Targaryen bring to the chaotic situation in Westeros.

What does Daenerys imagine the future looks like?Green assisted Viserys to sit on the Iron Throne. After his success, he and the silver-haired princess spent the rest of their lives happily in the rich valley... I have to admit that the picture is beautiful and heart-warming, but this is not Green's dream.

Can Viserys sit on the Iron Throne?What Dany's brother couldn't do... Green stood up from the chair, took steps, and stood in front of the window.

Outside the window, there is a magnificent sea view. The blue water stretches as far as the eye can see, like a bright sapphire inlaid on the earth.

Green's eyes trembled slightly... There is only one Iron Throne. For Targaryen and Targaryen's supporters, as long as the person sitting on the Iron Throne is not a Targaryen, that person is their enemy.

Targaryen was originally the last link in Green's path to the Iron Throne, but Daenerys' love has added a lot of uncertainty.

Does this change bring more benefits than disadvantages, or does the disadvantages outweigh the benefits?Green thinks it's half and half.

Time... Green suddenly chuckled, how can people calculate accurately... The little girl's love comes and goes quickly. Maybe when he received this letter, she already had a new love. Here is ice and The world of fire.

Green retracted his thoughts of running away. Beauty would indeed affect the speed of drawing the sword.Boom, boom, boom.

After receiving the response, Butler Herschel, who had grown a little bigger, cheerfully walked in carrying a dinner plate.

After Butler Herschel put the food on the table, Green walked over and sat down and said, "Thank you, Hershel."

Butler Hershel bowed slightly, his fat face full of smile: "My master, this is my honor."

Green picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said: "Hershel, the blockade of Blackwater Bay is expected to last for about half a year. I hope you are prepared."

Butler Herschel couldn't help but sigh and said regretfully: "Without this blockade, Mermaid Port would have a lot of surplus this year. I originally planned to use the money to invest in the construction of the port next year."

Green put down his wine glass and said: "Duke Renly has declared himself king in the south with the support of Duke Highgarden. I think transport ships from the Reach will soon be banned from entering Blackwater Bay."

Butler Herschel's pupils shrank: "My master, our war reserves are still quite short."

Steward Hershel refers to the food transported to Mermaid Harbor by merchant ships from the Reach. These are the war reserves hoarded by Krab's territory for the War of the Vale.

Green leaned back in his chair and said, "Although it's not the best situation, the current reserves are enough for us."

Heshel nodded slightly, caressed his chest and said, "My master, Heshel is at your command."

After a pause, Green said: "Blackwater Bay can be said to have entered a state of war. The royal fleet in Stannis's hands will not defend the pirates as wholeheartedly as before, because they already have a more important enemy."

He added: "At this time, we must not neglect the port's defense. If we are not careful, the Mermaid Port we finally built will be burned down, loyal Hershel."

Butler Herschel said solemnly: "My master, please don't worry, I will remember it."

Essos, the city-state of Viserys (Kantes), governor's palace.

Daenerys entered the steaming bathtub with the help of the maid. Feeling the comfort brought by the hot water, she reached out and touched the fossilized dragon egg placed next to her.

Since receiving the three dragon eggs, green, white, and black, Daenerys has unknowingly fallen in love with various stories about dragons. She heard that dragons originally came from the east, from the land of shadow and jade beyond Asshai. The island group in the sea, she thought... maybe there were still some giant dragons living in that wild and strange land.

Daenerys withdrew her hand from the dragon egg and asked the new maid: "Do you think I can still see the dragon?"

The new maid knows a lot about dragons. She brushed Daenerys's back and said, "Your Highness, I heard that the dragons died a long, long time ago... They have become extinct."

Daenerys was slightly disappointed: "Are they all dead...as are the dragons in the east?"

It is rumored that when the end comes to Valyria and the land of Eversummer, magic will also disappear in the west. The magic-blessed sword, the weather singer and the dragon are all irreparable, but Daenerys heard that in the east The situation was different. It was said that manticores still haunted the Jade Sea Islands, and snake lizards still dominated the jungles of Yi Di. She thought... In this case, why couldn't there be giant dragons surviving?

The new maid moved to the side and held up the slender white arms of the silver-haired princess: "Your Highness, every part of your body is so charming..."

She picked up the towel with her other hand and said again: "The brave man slays the dragon, because the dragons are terrible monsters, so they are gone."

She continued: "A Qarth merchant told me that the dragon came out of the moon."

Daenerys was curious and confused: "Moon?"

The new maid nodded: "He told me that the moon is an egg. There were originally two moons in the sky, but one of them was too close to the sun and could not withstand the high heat, so it exploded.

Thousands of dragons emerged from the exploding moon. They absorbed the fire of the sun, which is why the dragons breathed fire.

He said that one day the remaining moon would kiss the sun and explode, and the dragon would return to the world. "

Borona, who was sitting by the fire drying towels, said: "How come I heard people say that the moon is a goddess and the wife of the sun? I can't believe that the moon is an egg."

Daenerys chuckled: "It's possible."

After saying that, her violet eyes looked at the dragon egg fossil, thinking it would be great if it was a real dragon egg.

…………

Daenerys was wearing silk pajamas and playing with a dark green dragon egg on the bed. Under the moonlight, the scales of the dragon egg shone with a bronze sheen, very beautiful... Sometimes she even felt that she could be petrified from the egg. She draws energy from the dragon, making her strong and brave.

Daenerys Targaryen smiled and fell asleep.

…………

The next morning, Jorah Mormont asked to see the silver-haired princess.

Daenerys rarely had a good sleep last night. She was in a good mood and took the initiative to say hello: "Good day, sir."

Sir Jorah's tall body stood in front of Daenerys, caressing his chest and said: "Good day, Princess Daenerys."

Daenerys smiled and said, "Sir Jorah, why are you looking for me?"

Sir Jorah glanced at the smiling silver-haired princess and said: "Princess Daenerys, because of the tourney held by His Majesty Viserys, there were too many outsiders pouring into this city, and there were a lot of robberies last night. People are very uneasy about the crime."

Daenerys put down the tea cup in her hand and asked solemnly: "A lot of outsiders? How many are there?"

Ser Jorah replied, "Thousands of them."

He added: "Not only has public security become chaotic, but now sanitation has also become a problem. This city is full of stench, and people's dissatisfaction is growing day by day. This is very dangerous, my princess."

Daenerys thought for a moment and said, "Sir Jorah, don't we have enough soldiers to maintain law and order?"

After a pause, Sir Jorah looked at Daenerys and sighed: "Your Highness, we still need to set aside some soldiers to act as guards to maintain the order of the tournament."
