Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system - Chapter 344
c337 Blending
Strong winds, blizzards.
Casterly Rock.
There was a “crash” and the glass shattered.
It was a goblet, of course, before.
Now, together with the craft red wine it carried before, it was broken and rolled onto the wooden floor in the dark room, illuminated only by candlelight.
They have little value anymore.
Perhaps, after the owner of this room leaves, the maid will collect them together and throw them into an unnoticed corner.
Even if they were once exquisite glass goblets and delicious summer reds from Dorne.
But once they lose power, all their previous glory will never come back.
I have to say that this is unacceptable for Goblet and Summer Red.
It’s hard to deny.
Just like the big shots in this room who were once and now.
“Father, Cersei and Joffrey… they are still in the hands of that wild eel boy, we…”
Her golden hair looked tired and dull in the candlelight.
Jaime Lannister sat across from his father.
The unlucky Goblet was pushed to the floor by Tywin Lannister, the owner of Casterly Rock and still the Duke of Westerland, because of his words.
“That eel boy is now the king of the Seven Kingdoms!”
Tywin said coldly to his son.
“We will not acknowledge him, I know father.”
Jaime Lannister said tentatively.
“Not necessarily. If you still want your son to come back alive, oh, maybe your sister too.”
“We’d better stay in touch with Clay Mandler.”
Jaime Lannister knew that was his father’s euphemism.
What it actually means is to discuss the terms of surrender.
He was in a very bad mood.
Especially lately.
This is true for both father and son.
Originally, they fled back to the Western Territory in embarrassment.
The first thing he expected was Clay Mandler. This guy with no foundation was not recognized by the nobles of the North and the Riverlands, and the two sides began to fight.
For the Lannisters, the best scenario is that they all die.
However, they once again underestimated Clay Manderly’s prestige and the fear of death among the nobles in both places.
The transition of power went very smoothly, and several letters sent by Lord Tywin to sow discord fell into the sea without any news.
Not long after, news of the establishment of a new dynasty reached Casterly Rock City.
They still can’t understand why a descendant of the Mandalay family became a Dragon King.
They even sent people to spread rumors that Clay Mandalay was not a descendant of the Mandalay family.
But the reality is, no one cares.
The dragon flies overhead, who cares what his last name is?
They vaguely heard that something seemed to have happened in the North, and Clay Mandler had also disappeared from the Twins City for a while.
But soon, the blue-gold giant dragon returned to Twin River City with its owner.
The newly raised hopes of Lannister were dashed once again.
After staying for a long time, Jaime Lannister was almost suffocated by the oppression of the empty Casterly Rock.
In the past, by his side, there was his dearest sister and that unlucky brother.
He lived a carefree life as a playboy.
However, now, since he came back and accepted the broken West, the rain and snow over Casterly Rock City have never stopped.
Jaime Lannister was not content with this.
But he didn’t know what to do.
Especially now that he heard that Clay Mandler used a lightning-fast offensive to defeat the Valley people in one battle, his mood became even worse.
Jaime Lannister is not a good man, but he is at least a passable general.
He knew that the valley was to the east and would contain Clay’s army.
Dragons are not omnipotent. The past three hundred years of the Targaryen Dynasty have long proved this.
But now, because they are losers, the information communication between them is not smooth.
Clay Mandler was given every opportunity to defeat him.
The valley is finished.
Although Petyr Baelish and Robert Arryn Jr. are missing.
But this does not affect the overall situation.
Tywin Lannister also knew very well that if he, the Lannister family, did not do something, sooner or later he would follow in the footsteps of these two.
The glory of the roaring lion cannot be tarnished.
Hence, the father-son conversation under today’s blizzard.
However, the eldest son, who has become the de facto heir to Casterly Rock, is still worried about women and children, which makes Tywin Lannister hate iron.
Don’t talk about the Kingsguard not being able to inherit the title.
Even the king is gone, whose Kingsguard will Jaime Lannister be?
“James, remember, Myrcella, Tommen, these two children, I didn’t care about what happened in the past, but now, they are your children, you must remember it clearly!”
Jaime Lannister nodded silently, understanding what his father meant.
In the past, the Lannister family wanted to borrow Baratheon’s legal heritage, so these two children could only be Robert Baratheon’s offspring.
Even if no one in Westeros believes it.
But now, the Lannister family is already fighting for its own survival.
Then, these two children must be of pure Lannister blood, which means that there will be successors to the Lannister family.
This is very important.
Tywin’s green eyes glanced at the dejected eldest son indifferently, and continued:
“As for the names of these two children, I will change them. The last name can only be Lannister.”
“Moreover, their mother will be a noble lady who once appeared, but it doesn’t matter, but is now dead. She can be from any family.”
Hearing these words from Tywin Lannister, Jaime suddenly raised his head and stared at his father in disbelief.
“What about…Cersei?”
“Stop thinking about Cersei!”
Tywin Lannister interrupted roughly.
“Unless we can wipe out Clay Manderly, Daenerys Targaryen, their four dragons, and tens of thousands of troops under their command, then we don’t need to consider this issue at all.”
“Tommen… no matter what he is called in the future, remember, he is your son, the eldest son! Your heir!”
Jaime Lannister’s pupils shrank rapidly.
He had already figured out the meaning behind the words of his father, Lord Tywin, the former Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms.
Tywin Lannister, this is to completely give up the orphans and widows who fell into the hands of Clay Manderly.
Let the entire Lannister family get rid of these two fatal burdens and no longer be controlled by others.
The West now, in name, still supports Robert Baratheon’s inheritance.
Therefore, when Joffrey, the king, fell into the hands of his enemies, they were restrained.
But if the West throws away this fig leaf, then Cersei Lannister and Joffrey Baratheon are just a pair of noble mother and son in trouble.
The value of identity is completely different.
A pair of ordinary nobles will never have any impact on any subsequent actions in the Western Region.
This is how cruel Tywin is.
Not only to the enemy, but also to oneself.
Just for the survival of House Lannister.
“Then…Cersei, Joffrey, they…what should they do?”
Despite his expectations, Jaime Lannister still asked this difficult question.
Tywin Lannister looked at his son in front of him, and his heart was not as hard as his face.
If…if these two people, Cersei and Jaime, weren’t damn siblings, then everything seemed fine.
As long as one of them has black hair, like Robert, maybe the Lannister family has completed its usurpation of the throne by now.
But there is no way to do it again.
After a moment of silence, Tywin took another glass for himself and poured a full glass of wine.
“It’s unlikely that they will come back. I told you just now. What you need to consider now is what the family should do now.”
Tywin Lannister’s tone was calm.
But heavy pressure still weighs on the shoulders of father and son.
It is obvious that the Lannister family, more than any other family in the Seven Kingdoms, is hated by the Targaryens.
Daenerys can be spared by anyone, but it is impossible for her to spare the Lannisters, especially Tywin Lannister.
However, regardless of the giant dragon or ordinary military strength, the current Western Region is no match for Clay Mandler.
In other words, they need reinforcements.
“Some time ago, Varys, the Eight-clawed Spider came to see me.”
Tywin Lannister took a sip of wine and said calmly.
“He? Here?”
Jaime Lannister opened his mouth slightly, this was really a surprise to him.
Now he is in charge of the defense and security of Casterly Rock City. In theory, everyone in the entire city is under his surveillance.
In this case, the Eight-clawed Spider, a former eunuch-turned-intelligence chief, was actually able to talk to his father without anyone noticing, but he himself knew nothing about it.
Thinking about it carefully, Jaime Lannister’s back felt a slight chill.
“Yes, here he is, sitting in the chair you are making now.”
Tywin Lannister’s tone was still calm, as if he was just stating an objective fact.
The heir to Casterly Rock suddenly felt as if his butt had been pricked by a needle, and he seemed to smell the disgusting smell of powder in his nostrils. It was the smell of Varys.
Used to cover up the stench of the body.
The Duke of the West put down the goblet in his hand and continued:
“He brought me a plan, a plan that would keep the Lannisters alive.”
Jaime Lannister looked up and admitted that he was intrigued by this statement.
“There are more than two true dragons in this world, and what’s interesting is that the third true dragon is not very interested in killing us.”
“Instead, he promised that if we help him ascend the throne, Lannister will still be guaranteed his current position.”
When Tywin Lannister said these words, his tone always remained calm, as if these things had nothing to do with him or the entire Lannister family.
“Real dragon?”
James’s mind was confused, and he looked at his father blankly.
Wasn’t it his father who attacked the Targaryen family back then?
As far as he knew, the only remaining members of the Dragon family were Daenerys and her brother Viserys.
But everyone knows that Viserys died at the hands of Essos and the Dothraki.
Daenerys was left alone.
So here comes the problem, now his father tells him that another true dragon has come to them.
Could it be another Dragon King bloodline who came out of nowhere just like Clay Mandler?
By the gods, is the Dragon King’s bloodline so common?
As if he knew what his son was thinking, Tywin Lannister answered his question.
“Aegon Targaryen, son of Rhaegar Targaryen, thank the gods for allowing me to kill a child who was betrayed by Varys when I ordered the Mountain to take action.”
“His army is ready to cross the strait and march to Westeros. Moreover, Varys told me that they have the support of Pentos and united with other slave owners in Slaver’s Bay.”
“They raided Oberon Martell, who was guarding Astapor for Daenerys Targaryen.”
“Although he was not defeated, he was trapped in the city.”
“The remaining armies, along with Aegon Targaryen, have prepared their fleets and will land in Westeros at any moment.”
“Their first stop is Stannis’s lair, Dragonstone.”
“Hopefully, they can do well.”
Tywin Lannister said.
The heir to Casterly Rock City is carefully digesting the information in this large paragraph.
To be honest, he felt that there was a high probability that this Aegon Targaryen was fake.
No reason, just intuition.
“We’re going to support him? He also has a dragon?”
Jaime Lannister asks a crucial question.
There is a giant dragon, even one, which at least shows that the bloodline of the Long family is unquestionable.
The other way around, if not.
Then, whether it is Clay Manderly or Daenerys Targaryen, they can directly use their bloodline to declare that this guy is a fake.
This is very important. In this aristocratic era, blood is glory.
Without blood, the dynasty would collapse in an instant.
The Lannister family suffered a big loss from this.
As long as Joffrey Baratheon’s bloodline is good, anyone who dares to rebel is talking nonsense.
The power of the central government is still there, and it has been tied long ago. How could it develop into the later melee of the Seven Kingdoms?
“Unfortunately, no. I know what you want to say, and I don’t think that is a real Targaryen.”
Tywin Lannister once again guessed his son’s thoughts.
“But we had no choice but to surrender to those two men and let them kill us.”
James nodded.
Pour yourself a glass of wine too.
He knew his father was right.
According to what he knew about Clay Mandler, he was a man who was dedicated to getting rid of evil.
So, even if you go over and surrender now.
He would definitely kill himself and the entire Lannister family immediately and send them to the Seven Gods.
There wasn’t even a chance to put on black clothes.
“Do you need me to do anything?”
Jaime Lannister asked his father.
Lord Tywin nodded:
“Yes, I want you to go to Highgarden. There is also a frustrated old woman there. Obviously, like us, she can no longer find their place in Clay Manderly’s new dynasty.”
“By the way, go to the school city, bring my respect, and contact the doctors of the Cardinal Council to see if they have any good ways to deal with Clay Mandler.”
Tywin Lannister raised his head and drank the rest of the wine in one goblet.
“Remember, tell those nerds with chains around their necks that Clay Manderly is going to do away with the Maesters after he unites Westeros, you know what I mean.”
Jaime Lannister nodded.
He didn’t expect that his father’s little plan would actually become a reality.
