Eagle of the Valley of Ice and Fire

Chapter 45 Quarrel
Earl Tytos replied calmly: "Master Edmure, this is Duke Hoster's order. I am just following the order." He glanced at Lady Catelyn, who came with him.

Edmure looked at Tyrion chewing bread, and sat down with a gloomy expression. He did not have any words of reprimand for Earl Tytos. He still believed in Earl Tytos's credibility, and the Earl would not make decisions without authorization. .

"So." Tyrion held the cup and took a sip of mead. "Can a short man like me be a guest of the Tully family?" He looked at the young Edmure Tully and felt that this man was a sensible member of the Tully family. people.

Edmure's expression was not good, and he said coldly: "Of course, we adhere to the teachings of the gods."

"Wow~!" Tyrion opened his mouth and said exaggeratedly, "It seems that we finally have something in common. Do you agree, Mrs. Stark?" One of his black eyes and one green eye rolled, moving out of proportion. head and looked at Caitlin.

Catelyn pursed her lips, said nothing, and just sat down indifferently. The Lannister in front of her was her prisoner yesterday, but now he has become a guest of Riverrun. Seeing his arrogant appearance, Catelyn felt an unknown fire burning in her heart. rise.

"It seems," Tyrion spread his hands, "I have become a guest of the distinguished Tully family, even though I was dozing off in the dungeon just now," he wiped the stain on his mouth, "Oh! Your hot water The bath is really nice, Riverrun is a really nice place." He looked at Edmure Tully, the current acting Lord of Riverrun, and thanked him.

Did he even take a shower?Catelyn thought to herself that Lord Tytos was too biased towards Lannister!

"Dear Lady Catelyn, please allow me to pay tribute to your husband, Lord Eddard Stark." Tytos seemed to intend to ease the resentment caused by ignoring Catelyn in Lord Hoster's bedroom, and said to Catelyn .

"Me too, Lord Eddard is pretty good to me." Tyrion said.

"Thank you, Lord Tytos," Catelyn said flatly, "but I'm afraid my husband will not have the courtesy to respond to your respect," she glared at Tyrion, the bouncing dwarf clown, "nor will he respond to you. Yes, Lannister!"

Tytos looked at Caitlin with an unfriendly expression, and Edmure said aloud: "I believe that father will not give wrong instructions to Earl Tytos." Caitlin patiently listened to her brother trying to smooth things over. She knew that Edmure could not He is willful and wants to take into account the face of Earl Tytos. This is what a qualified governor of the Trident River should do, but it may not be what a qualified Tully should do.

Tytos nodded to Edmure gratefully, and he looked at Caitlin, "I admire Duke Eddard very much. I think it is the kingdom's luck that he can serve as Prime Minister in King's Landing. This country lacks justice."

Tyrion used his brain a little and realized that Earl Tytos, who was kind to him, was hinting that the Blackwood family had not received fair treatment in the dispute between them and the Bracken family, and that the troubles among the nobles of the Riverlands were Casterly Rock’s jester knows all about it.

But unfortunately, none of the siblings in front of him understood. He saw Edmure swallowing a piece of meat with difficulty. He didn't want to eat it and asked me to eat it. Tyrion took a big gulp of wine. After all, people are under the eaves, so they should talk less. Bar.

Catelyn and Edmure didn't respond to Tytos, who shook his head and lowered his head to enjoy his dinner.

"Riverrun is great everywhere, but there are no minstrels to entertain at dinner." Tyrion muttered.

Edmure frowned and said coldly: "Father doesn't like noise, he needs silence."

Catelyn looked at Edmure. She knew that her brother hated minstrels because he liked a girl when he was younger. As a result, the girl was slept with by a singer who called himself Tom of the Seven Strings, and that's not all. , the singer even wrote a dirty ditty mocking Edmure, and Edmure has hated this industry ever since.

In this regard, Edmure is very similar to Ser Rodrik.

When they arrived at Riverrun, Catelyn asked Ser Rodrik to blend into the caravan leading to the north, and asked him to go to Winterfell on her behalf to inform Robb of his father Ned's order to strengthen the defense in Moat Cailin.

When the dinner was over, Tyrion left the main hall under the guard of the guards, singing a ditty all the way, which made Edmure very unhappy.

Count Tytos turned to look at Caitlin, and Caitlin realized that Count Tytos was about to say something important just now.

"With all due respect, although you are the Lady of Winterfell and the wife of my respected Lord Eddard, I still want to tell you that you are still the daughter of Tully!" Tytos suddenly became louder and said to Caitlin scolded.

Edmure hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Count Tytos, what do you mean?"

Caitlin frowned and looked sharply at Count Tytos. "You almost harmed Tully, and not only that, you almost harmed the entire Riverlands!" Earl Tytos said.

Catelyn knew what he was referring to and said calmly to Lord Tytos: "You mean Tyrion Lannister?"

Earl Tytos shook his head, "What is Tyrion Lannister? It doesn't matter what his name is. The important thing is that he is Tywin's son. The important thing is Lannister. If the Western Territory invades, what will happen to the Riverlands?" Block it? Riverrun will bear the brunt of it! Then there will be my Raventree City, and the entire Trident will be under the iron heel of the West!"

Edmure frowned, "Lord Tytos, I know the risks of this matter, but Tyrion Lannister is suspected of important accusations. Catelyn is my sister, and I must help her. This concerns the family." glory."

"What accusation?" Earl Tytos didn't want to get entangled in this aspect at all. "Even if I want to do this, I shouldn't tie Tywin's son to Riverrun openly. Do you know why I'm here? This matter It has been spread throughout the taverns of the Seven Kingdoms. If I hadn't gone to the inn outside Crowtree City to rest for a while, I would still have been kept in the dark! I think that the army in the West will be assembled soon, and I must lead the army to rush here first. city."

Caitlin's body trembled after Tytos reprimanded her. She also thought about the risks of doing so, but she didn't expect that so quickly, she would be carried away by Bran's incident and lost her sense.

Edmure wanted to say something else, but he opened his mouth slightly and found that it didn't make sense, so he could only swallow his words and look away.

"If there is any evidence for your accusation, you should tell King Robert directly and ask him, Lord Eddard in King's Landing, to mediate, or even conduct a direct trial. In short, bringing it to Riverrun is a huge mistake." Tytos shook his hand angrily. He was a head taller than Edmure, and roaring in front of Edmure made Edmure very weak.

Caitlin knew what she had to say, "Then look, Count Tytos, if there is anything you can do to deal with it."

Tytos said in a deep voice: "Tyrion is already our guest, we must treat him well, send him to Casterly Rock, and admit his mistake to Lord Tywin. Lady Catelyn, with all due respect, you'd better explain it yourself. "

Caitlin shook her head firmly, "Tyrion is suspected of murdering my son Bran, and arresting him is in line with the justice of the gods."

"Then what do you want to do, start a war and start a war in the riverlands?" Earl Tytos said, obviously very angry.

Edmure resisted Earl Tytos who took a step forward, "My lord, please pay attention, I am the heir of Riverrun, you are my father's vassal, Tyrion is our criminal, even if he is now restricted by Guest etiquette, but I will also escort him to King's Landing for a public trial in the presence of the King and the Archbishop."

Tytos held his mouth, he took a step back and said nothing.

Caitlin said, "What do you think we can do?"

"What else can we do? Contact Lady Lysa in the Valley, contact the Northern Territory, and be ready to raise troops to meet the army from the Western Territory at any time." Tytos waved his hand impatiently. He felt that Duke Eddard had such a stupid wife. Even more sad that she was born in Tully.

"Lysa. She can't help us," Catelyn said hesitantly.

"Why?" Earl Tytos was a little confused. He looked at Caitlin with helpless eyes.

Edmure stood up, "There are rumors in King's Landing that Duke Attis may be engaged to the king's daughter Myrcella Baratheon, and the valley may not fully support us." He concealed Caitlin's words, his eyes Staring at Caitlin, he said helplessly.

Caitlin looked at Edmure nervously. Her brother never lied. She looked at Tytos, and her suspicious thoughts reappeared. Before her father summoned the vassals, this Tytos came in a hurry and brought him with him. He has won many soldiers, and with his respect for Tyrion Lannister, Catelyn can't help but wonder whether the Earl of Raventree is on good terms with Lannister.

She maintained a vague distrust of Tytos in her heart, because her father seemed to see the Bracken family more frequently and explained more things. He was one of the vassals who had been loyal to his father for the longest time and was the most loyal. , and Blackwood, who has always had a feud with Bracken.
"What I need is for Tyrion to confess," Catelyn said.

Tytos took a deep look at Caitlin, "And the consequence of pleading guilty is that the Riverlands will be enemies on all sides. It's really you, madam!" He emphasized the last two words and rushed out of the main hall angrily.
