iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 288 Green and the Lioness

Cersei writing with a happy and sweet look on her face? Green picked up Cersei's letters again. He knew her, and he could even imagine Cersei's boss gritting his teeth as she wrote the letter.

Rubbing the letter with his fingertips, Lord Greene was weighing the pros and cons.

The next step is the Riverlands, so... Queen Cersei still living in Magta is more in line with Kleb's interests. Although Green looked at the letter on the surface, his thoughts were racing.

After Stannis was defeated, neither Lannister nor Tyrell wanted Cersei to continue to stay in Megta... Green's brown eyes trembled slightly, maybe Joffrey also hoped so, according to Leighton in Red The king became increasingly disgusted with the nagging from the Queen Mother.

Green threw Queen Cersei's letter of love into the brazier. The flames rose and he stared at it burning up.

Now, Queen Cersei's situation feels like betrayal. She has to lower her always high chin, and Jaime, whom she trusts most, is still a prisoner, and she can only ask him for help.

James... James... Green took out the map and laid it on the table. He stared at the intersection of the River Avenue and the King's Road. His eyes slowly moved along the River Avenue towards the location of Riverrun.

Without the support of intelligence, Lord Greene could not know the specific situation of Tyrion in Riverrun. He could only speculate that the negotiations there could not be concluded in a short time.

Green's eyes narrowed slightly. Queen Cersei mentioned Highgarden and... Riverrun in her letter expressing her love. She wrote in the letter: Highgarden and Riverrun are trying to stop me from whispering in your ear...

Now is not the past. Even if the current Lord Green gets on Cersei's ship, the price for him to get off the ship will not be high. He controls the valley and the Crab Claw Peninsula, and he already has the strength to choose allies.

Although she has never experienced pleasure in bed, Green and Cersei have established a deep trust, and more importantly, she is generous, which is what Lord Green values ​​most.

If she returns to the Red Keep, at this time... Queen Cersei will eagerly use her best method to consolidate Green's loyalty.

If the marriage between the Lannister family and the Tully family succeeds... this is not in line with Kleb's strategy. What he needs is a chaotic riverland.

Although Cersei is willful, she has to admit that she is charming. As a man, it is difficult to refuse Cersei's beauty and charm, including Greene, who has been able to persevere... In fact, he has to thank Jaime and Lancel. Because it was easier for the two of them to make Lord Green remember the knowledge he had before time travel, and they were like-minded. Because they are familiar with each other, they can often extinguish the anger of Lord Green instantly.

Green couldn't help but scratch his head. Queen Cersei could easily grasp the key points of a man, but could never grasp the key points of the matter. This was very Cersei.

Green missed Varys and Petyr a little bit. If they were still around... forget it, just don't mention it. The essence hidden behind the scenes is to pick up leaks, and he needs to adapt to his new identity... Green has sat on a chair at the power game table, and it is time for him to seize his own interests personally.

Therefore, Duke Tywin intends to use Queen Cersei to marry Riverrun. This... is probably Tyrion's idea.

Another important point is that Lord Green, who pays attention to details, later discovered that Cersei looked down on all the men she had had fun with, including Jaime Lannister, who loved her deeply.

What is not available is the best and most expensive. Lord Green will continue to control the "fairness" in the transaction with Queen Cersei. The attractive body cannot replace the value of the land.

Among them, if James is here, it will be more difficult for Green to concentrate on the outside world. Therefore, Lord Green also set his sights on Ser Jaime, who was a prisoner in Riverrun. Green took out a blank piece of parchment, picked up a quill and dipped it in ink. With the quill waving, he was writing new orders. Kleb's retainer knight, Mason Baker, was appointed by him as the commander-in-chief of the invasion of Maiden Spring, and Dick Kleb was appointed as his adjutant. If peace is to be achieved, the condition is that Earl William Mouton of Maidenpool takes the entire Mouton family to swear allegiance to Crabb, and marries his eldest daughter and heir, Elano Mouton, to Dick Crabb. .

After sealing it with wax, Green handed the letter to Brienne and said, "Send it to the crow's nest and let Maester Erlin arrange it immediately."

After Brienne took the letter, he added instructions: "Brenne, tell Erlin that if you receive a letter from Lydon, no matter what time it is, send it immediately."

The cautious Lord Green believed that if his guess was correct, Leiden in the Red Keep would soon send news that Duke Tywin would discuss marriage with Riverrun.

Not long after Brienne left, Baron Grevan came to the study and said, "Lord Green, your fiancée's team will rest at the inn in the eastern town tonight and arrive at the Gates of the Moon tomorrow morning."

Green stopped the quill in his hand, raised his head, and said, "Are you ready for the welcome ceremony?"

Baron Greven showed a confident look, and he caressed his chest and said: "Tomorrow morning, thousands of people will gather at the Gate of the Moon to welcome the future mistress of the valley."

Green smiled and said: "Thank you, loyal Grevan."

He turned to Baron Greven, who was looking happy, and said, "Tonight, we will all rest at the Gate of the Moon. Please arrange for someone to prepare."

Grimm will personally welcome Daenerys at the Gates of the Moon to show his respect for his fiancée.

"Go and arrange it." The quill was waved, and Green continued to write. The recipient was Cersei Lannister. Cersei is the Queen Regent, and as long as she gives her permission, Green's actions in the Seven Kingdoms are legal. He told her that her loyal knights would leave the Bleeding Gate and go south to the Riverlands in the name of conquering the rebels and the Earl of Maidenpool.

In order to prevent the desperate Queen Cersei from suddenly destroying the Red Keep with a "bang", Green mentioned a time limit in the letter. Her guardian knights would enter King's Landing within a month.

Near evening, Green and others took a hanging basket that he had specially arranged to descend from the Eagle's Nest to the Gates of the Moon.

…………

The next morning, more than a thousand people gathered on both sides of the road outside the east gate of the Moon Gate Castle. The women were wearing their most beautiful clothes, and most of the men had their children sitting on their shoulders. There were flowers and ribbons, just like a festival. .

Green led the vassals to stand at the front, his cloak embroidered with swamp marigolds swaying slightly in the wind. One of his hands gently held the hilt of Lady Kongji's ruby ​​sword at his waist.

In the atmosphere of excitement and anticipation, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and a gorgeous carriage gradually came into view. Behind it were dozens of cavalrymen holding high the swamp marigold flag.

The carriage was decorated with elaborate patterns and the windows were hung with tulle. From far to near, the figure inside was revealed, and the corners of Green's lips could not help but curve slightly.
