Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory - Chapter 357

c356 Chapter 356

The room was quiet for a moment as the Lannister brothers recovered from their concerns about Tywin’s change in personality.

Tyrion stood up and took out another bottle of wine from the wine cabinet next to him. He also took a glass for James, poured a glass of wine for himself and James, and said, “You definitely didn’t come to me to tell me. Father’s changes, or you’re planning to inherit Casterly Rock City, tell me! Do you have anything you want me to advise you on?”

Jaime took a sip from the wine glass and said, “I want your help to save Cersei.”

“Impossible!” Tyrion shook his head directly and said: “If Lind was not involved, this matter would be easy to deal with. All you need to do is ask the Tyrell family, and at worst, give up some benefits. But Garland… When Tyrell first made the request, he expected that we would plead for mercy later, so he attached additional conditions and asked Linde to be a witness. Now it is no longer about us agreeing or asking Cersei to become a nun. Instead, Lynd must fulfill his duty as a witness and bring Cersei to the Temple of Redemption.”

James showed a look of determination on his face and said: “It seems that we can only wait for Cersei to go to the Salvation Temple and then find a way to rescue her.”

“Rescuing people from the Salvation Temple, what fool gave you such a bad idea?” Tyrion looked surprised, turned to look at Bronn who was a spectator, and asked: “You? Bronn, it’s you Is this a bad idea that my brother came up with?”

“Of course not me.” Bronn shook his head quickly and said, “Do you think I am the one who came up with such a bad idea?” As he said, he couldn’t help but complain to James: “If you want to commit suicide, don’t use this There is no other way to go to the Salvation Temple to save people. You might as well just jump off the wall of King’s Landing and die more happily.”

James looked at the two of them doubtfully and said, “Is there any problem with going to the Redemption Temple to save people? Why are you all acting like this?”

“What’s the problem? Of course there is a problem. This is no different from dying.” Tyrion stood directly on the stool, looked at James, and said: “Not to mention how terrifying the stone giant guards in the Salvation Temple are. There is no stone giant guard, and the monks in the Redemption Temple are all the chosen sons of God. Each of the God-chosen sons is an elite warrior selected from a hundred, and the Redemption Sisters in the Redemption Temple Nunnery and the Silent Monks in the Silent Monastery are all monsters. Powerful warriors. On the way back from the valley, Bronn and I saw a group of ten silent monks and nuns of salvation harvesting their lives like wheat when facing nearly a thousand riverland rebels. Only a few dozen people escaped, but the monks and nuns didn’t even have any damage to their armor. But you want to rescue people from the base camp of these monster warriors. What’s the difference between this and death?”

James froze on the spot and murmured: “He’s lying to me! He’s lying to me!”

When Tyrion saw Jaime like this, he immediately understood who was telling Jaime to go to the Redemption Temple to save people, and he didn’t know how to comfort his brother, so he could only sigh and reach out to pat him. James’ shoulders as a gesture of comfort.

After seeing that James’ face looked a little better, he said: “You’d better leave Cersei’s matter alone. She can’t have any change, unless Linde… No, with Linde’s character, it’s It’s impossible to change your mind, even if you and I go to him together.”

Bronn suddenly said: “Perhaps you can ask Nymeria, Queen of Lorne. I heard that Lind loves his wife very much. If his wife intercedes for Queen Cersei, maybe Lind will let her go. ”

James’s eyes lit up and he thought this was a way, but Tyrion shook his head and said: “Not to mention the time it takes to get to Na Sa from here, even if you go to Na Sa, Name Queen Leia will never agree to such conditions.”

Seeing that there was no chance of things turning around, Jaime looked depressed and lost interest in continuing to take him to Tyrion’s mansion. He got up and left, preparing to return to the Red Keep to spend more time with Cersei.

When Jaime left, Tyrion called Bronn and asked him to stay.

“How is Shae?” When there were only two people left, Tyrion asked carefully: “You have sent her away safely, right?”

“Don’t worry, I saw her get on the ship with my own eyes.” Bronn nodded affirmatively, and then asked: “What happened to you? When the war was so intense, you didn’t even let me send her away. Now When the war subsided, you were sure to let me send her away, and you said such vicious words. Did you know that she looked so desperate when she left, I couldn’t bear to see her.”

“Because I don’t want her to become the next Tessa.” Tyrion also said sadly: “My father already knows about her existence. I have to send her to a safe place before the old man takes action, otherwise she will …, leaving is good for both her and me.”

“What are you going to do next? Are you going to be locked up here like this?” Bronn asked with concern: “If you want to escape, I can help.”

“You help?” Tyrion raised his eyebrows, looked at Bronn with squinting eyes, and said, “I can’t pay you now!”

Bronn raised his head and said: “This time is free, aren’t we friends? And if you hadn’t made me Baron of Duskendale in advance, forcing Duke Tywin to admit the appointment, I would still be just a mercenary. , How can I serve you for free?”

Tyrion thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, “Forget it, even if I run away, where can I run to?”

Bronn reminded: “You can go to the Summer Hall! I remember you said that Prince Linde values ​​you very much and has invited you to serve in the Summer Hall more than once.”

“Summer Hall?” Tyrion looked interested, then shook his head and said: “Forget it, I’d better stay in King’s Landing! If I go to Summer Hall, I…”

While the two were talking, his attendant Podrick hurried in from outside, and said as he ran: “It’s not good, it’s not good! My lord, it’s not good!”

“Stop! Stop! Take a breath first, what’s wrong?” Tyrion ordered Podrick.

Podrick stood firm, took a few deep breaths, and after regaining his composure, he said, “You have been accused! Someone accused you of trying to commit treason during the defense of the city and surrendering King’s Landing to Stannis.”

Before Tyrion could speak, Bronn couldn’t help but laugh: “Which idiot came up with this crime? Some people believe this crime.”

Podrick said quickly: “Many people believe it, and there is evidence. His Majesty Joffrey has taken over the case and said that he will try you after he gets married.”

“Evidence? What evidence?” Tyrion said with a confused look on his face.

Podrick explained: “You wrote a letter to Stannis before the war started. That letter is the evidence.”

Tyrion looked incomprehensible and said: “But that letter was a letter of persuasion! Stannis was persuaded to give up the siege, and many people knew the contents of the letter. How can it be used as evidence?”

Podrick said: “Ser Craven, who is accusing you, claimed that there were many code words hidden in the letter, implying that you wanted to surrender to Stannis, but the conditions you offered were too much, and Stannis did not agree.”

“Sir Craven? Is that the squinty-eyed Craven whose house I ransacked?” Tyrion said extremely angrily: “You can believe what that guy said. He is the one who wants to join Stannis the most. His wife He is the cousin of Stannis’s wife. He has been Stannis’s squire when Stannis was Lord of the Sea. How can anyone believe his words? ”

Bronn reminded: “But His Majesty Joffrey believed it.”

Tyrion was stunned, and after a while, he asked: “Where is my father? Lord Tywin, does he allow such false accusations?”

Podrick recounted: “The Duke was inspecting the city at the time and was not in the Red Keep. His Majesty Joffrey was meeting the residents of King’s Landing in the throne room and making notarized judgments on various matters for them. Kraven The knight suddenly attacked, and the people in the throne room all shouted for trial. His Majesty Joffrey directly announced that you would be tried for treason, and even Lord Garland’s words to stop it had no effect. ”

After hearing this, Tyrion sat down on his chair, completely shocked by the sudden news.

Bronn said disapprovingly: “You offended that boy too much and slapped him again and again in front of so many people. It’s no wonder he doesn’t hate you. This time he just seized the opportunity, or simply didn’t It’s not that he seized the opportunity, but that he arranged it deliberately. Otherwise, how could that sergeant happen to attack when Duke Tywin is not around? No matter how you look at it, that boy is probably going to kill you. You should seriously consider my previous proposal. If you continue to stay here, you may really be beaten to death. No matter how incompetent that kid is, he is still a king, and it will be difficult for you to defeat him. ”

Tyrion didn’t say anything at the moment, he just sat there blankly.

When the relevant incident spread to other parts of the Seven Kingdoms, both those who had mortal enemies with the Lannister family and those who had good relations with the West felt that this incident was too absurd, although most people Due to discrimination and other reasons, they all believed that Adam Marbrand, the commander in gold robes at the time, should have the greatest credit for defending the city, but they could not deny Tyrion’s credit.

Especially in the last battle, Tyrion commanded the last defensive army in the Red Keep, dragging the battle until Garlan Tyrell led the cavalry legion to come to the rescue, even if it was Blackfish Brynden, Bronze Yorn… Veterans like Royce dare not say that they can do better than Tyrion.

No matter how you look at it, Tyrion is definitely a major contributor to the defense of King’s Landing, and Tyrion himself is from the Lannister family. When Stannis began to attack King’s Landing, King’s Landing still had the upper hand. He had acquired many ships and siege equipment from Stannis, and it was impossible for him to surrender to Stannis at that time.

Therefore, anyone who hears the news is extremely sure that Tyrion was definitely wronged, but they have no intention of complaining for Tyrion, because in addition to hating dwarves, more importantly, they are Lannister When it comes to internal strife at home, they prefer to be bystanders and watch the drama, rather than participating in it and asking for trouble.

What is puzzling is that Tywin Lannister did not stop this ridiculous trial against Tyrion. Instead, he declared in public that if Tyrion was found guilty, he would put on a black robe and go to the desperate situation. The Great Wall serves as a night watchman.

Obviously, when Jaime took off his white robe and agreed to inherit Casterly Rock, Tyrion, the heir, became redundant and even turned into a thorn in the flesh. Duke Tywin could not wait to take root in the city. The thorn in my heart that had been in my heart for many years was removed.

Apart from the infighting within the Lannister family, the most interesting thing is that Tywin actually invited the Martell family of Dorne to King’s Landing to join the royal meeting.

Even an ordinary civilian in the Seven Kingdoms is well aware of the Martell family’s hatred of the Lannister family in the West. If this time it had not been for Lind’s Summer Hall blocking the way north and restraining the Martell family. Family, maybe the Martell family has also participated in this war.

However, now Tywin is looking for trouble. He has extended an invitation to the Martell family, and the Martell family has accepted the invitation. The people he sent have even expressed his deep hatred for the Lannister family countless times. Prince Beren Martell, many people can feel that King’s Landing may be in trouble again.

Smart people quickly saw the reason for Tywin’s abnormal behavior. For Tywin, the hatred of the Martell family is a trouble, but now the bigger trouble is that the Tyrell family is in King’s Landing. City’s strong performance.

The Lannister family can only control the Red Keep at the moment. After leaving the Red Keep and entering the city of King’s Landing, it is the area controlled by the Tyrell family’s army. The original golden robes of the Capital Guard have become the Red Keep Guards. The entire city The defenses are all controlled by the Western Army, and all the city gates have been replaced by people from the Western Region, and Garlan Tyrell is the mastermind who controls all of this.

Moreover, what is even more incredible is that Joffrey, who should be closer to Tywin, is closer to Garland. He even asked Garland to stand under the steps of his throne during a meeting in the throne room and talk to Tywin. Duke Wen juxtaposed, completely forgetting that Garland was the one who cost his mother her freedom.

Therefore, many people speculate that Tywin recruited the Martell family into King’s Landing to resist the powerful Tyrell family, because in the past few years, the West has often clashed with Dorne, and the relationship between the two seems to be very bad.

Therefore, the Tyrell family is extremely disgusted with Tywin’s invitation to the Martell family, and has publicly stated more than once that Tywin’s move is to attract wolves into the house.

However, only Lind knew that the relationship between the Tyrell family and the Martell family was not as bad as it seemed on the surface. The two secretly had a good relationship. All conflicts were pretended to be seen by others. Now Tywin will The Martell family’s recruitment to King’s Landing will only strengthen the strength of the Tyrell family. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has lured the wolf into the house.
