iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 39 This is the last time

When Green was waiting on the outer wall, he had analyzed Petyr's strategy.

Jon Arryn, the Duke of the Eagle's Nest, is the guardian of the valley himself, relying on his marriage with the Tully family to influence the riverlands, and the Duke of Winterfell in the north is his adopted son.

Jon Arryn alone can directly or indirectly control the Valley, the Riverlands, and the North.

In the original play, Petyr first single-handedly promoted the marriage between King Joffrey and Margaery Tyrell, and successfully established the alliance between Lannister and Tyrell.

In return, Petyr was named Duke of Harrenhal and became Governor of the Riverlands.

In the second step, Petyr told Duke Tywin Lannister of the Tyrell family's plan to secretly take Sansa Stark to High Court and marry Veras Tyrell, so that Duke Tywin would have enough time to marry Sansa Stark to Tyrion first.

Therefore, in exchange for the support of Duke Tywin Lannister, Petyr married Lysa Tully as Duke of Harrenhal, and took the Vale into his own hands without a single blow.

The third step is to come to the North to help Sansa Stark gain power in the North.

Petyr's line is to plan the power of the valley, the riverlands, and the north.

Petyr's power achievements overlap with Duke Jon, so is Petyr an imitator or admirer of Duke Jon?
........................

Green's voice was calm and chilling: "Master Petyr, do you like gambling? I don't like it very much myself."

Petyr shook his head, a slightly unnatural smile.

Green said again: "If someone dies in this room tonight, I bet I will be fine. I can return to Whispering City safely and continue to enjoy the glory of the nobility."

Petyr suddenly understood why the others called the Krebers half-wild nobles.

So barbaric, they don't follow the rules of Game of Thrones at all!
Thinking of this, Petyr's heart was not panic, but fear.

Oh, I might die tonight!
How could he see through my means? It is impossible for him to have this ability at his age.

Yes, Tyrion, it must be Tyrion, that Lannister dwarf!
Petyr remembered that the squire he had sent to inform Grimm had replied that he had seen Tyrion and Grimm together.

And the information about where I'm staying tonight... Secretly Petyr hates the talkative Tyrion, they are all guys who don't follow the rules of the game!

........................

Petyr's gray-green eyes moved: "Baron Green, I think there has been a big misunderstanding between us because of the villain's slander. In fact, I have always been kind to you. Our cooperation is a strong alliance!"

In order to increase his confidence, Petyr leaned the quilt on the back of the chair: "You and I, we actually have a lot in common, and we should have more power."

Green was unmoved, but now made up a family motto: "Kleiber's ancestors taught me that one sword is worse than a thousand tricks."

Petyr felt bitter, the barbarian didn't listen to my good words at all.

Green, who was leaning on the back of the chair, raised one leg and folded it: "Lord Petyr, I am different from you. Kleiber's ancestors used hundreds of years of bloodshed to build Kleiber into a military nobleman. I inherited all of this."

Petyr smiled reluctantly.

Green suddenly said: "Angai, there is a wine jug on the table over there, it is Qingting Island wine, pour us a glass."

Petyr felt suddenly relaxed, and the previous heavy atmosphere was swept away.

This made Petyr even more afraid of the young-faced Green in front of him.

Angai, who looked harmless to humans and animals, poured a glass for Green and Petyr very politely and respectfully.

Green raised his glass and gestured towards Petyr, whose face was still a little stiff, and took a sip of the Arbor Island golden wine.

The soft and fragrant golden wine from Qingting Island flowed in, which calmed Petyr a lot: "Then, dear Baron Green, can you tell me your purpose?"

Green shook his hand slightly: "You are a big man, and I am an insignificant little man."

Green stopped Petyr's unnutritive compliments, rubbed his fingertips on the wine glass and continued: "My ambition is too small. I'm not interested in the machinations between big shots, and I don't want to get involved. There shouldn't be conflicts between us, do you understand?"

The change in Green's gaze at the last moment made Petyr's hair stand on end.

Petyr nodded stiffly.

Green got up from the chair, with a gentle face on his face: "Please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit tonight. I will have an audience with the King's Hand tomorrow morning. Castle of Whispering Whispers advocates peace. Please help me persuade Duke Jon."

Petyr felt that Green let go of his murderous intentions, and finally secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Petyr prevented any further changes in the end, and said: "I said, we are already friends, and I am very happy to help my friend, I promise."

Green nodded and said goodbye: "If you don't mind, I will go through the main entrance."

On the surface, Petyr had recovered his usual calmness and elegance, picked up the rattle beside the bed and rang it.

Not long after the bell rang, there was a light knock on the door.

Green, who had already walked a few steps, turned around suddenly, approached Petyr again, stretched out his hand and tore off Petyr's robe, Petyr's pupils dilated, and he did not move sensibly.

The dagger in Green's hand drew a cold light, leaving a palm-length line on Petyr's upper chest.

The line wound left by the dagger was so shallow that Petyr didn't even feel pain.

On Petyr's upper chest, warm blood continued to flow out along the line left by the dagger, instantly staining a large area red.

"this is the last time."

Green opened the door, and very calmly ordered Petyr's attendant outside the door to lead the way.

Petyr didn't like his attendants to be curious. Seeing that Petyr had no other orders, Petyr's attendants didn't dare to ask more questions even though they were puzzled. They respectfully led Green and the others away.

Green left for a while, Petyr, who had been standing still, sat down, his gray-green eyes were deep.

Green's knife skills are very good. It looks like a lot of blood is bleeding, but in fact the wound is very shallow and the bleeding has stopped.

After Green left, Petyr, who had been expressionless, showed a complicated smile.

........................

In the early morning of the next day, Red Castle, near Maegor Tower.

Tyrion was humming and blowing in a very unimpressive manner.

James glanced at the sky that had just lightened slightly, showing a helpless expression.

Cersei was a little too enthusiastic yesterday, and James exhausted a lot of energy. He was called up by Tyrion again early in the morning, and he was also trying his best.

James asked, "Where did you play again yesterday?"

Tyrion's eyes were half-opened, and his voice was weak: "First I drank in Green's house all night, and then I went to Sataya's shop, Jiedi, Alayaya, Danxi, they were so enthusiastic, er, I didn't sleep for less than two hours."

James laughed out loud: "After a night of tossing around, you should take a good rest. You are willing to leave the gentle big bed. What's the matter with me early in the morning?"
