Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory - Chapter 367
c366 The meat reaches the mouth
“Do you really want to sit on the Iron Throne?” Garland Tyrell hurried to Linde’s official residence. After seeing Linde, he asked very directly without any courtesy or greetings.
“Since Prince Oberon sent the Iron Throne to me and personally carried me to sit on it, I naturally have no reason to refuse. It would be too pretentious to refuse like this.” Linde shrugged, very Explained casually.
But when Garland heard his explanation, there was an indescribable feeling that made people want to clench their fists.
Lind turned around and asked, “Are your Tyrells opposed to this?”
Garland said solemnly: “Father has some objections, but grandma agrees very much, and I also agree very much.”
Lynd was not surprised by the reaction of the Tyrell family. Mace Tyrell must still be obsessed with his origin.
Garland continued: “However, grandma made a request, that is, you marry Margaery…”
“Wait, Lord Garland, wait!” Lind interrupted Garland and said with a gloomy face: “Do you, the Tyrell family, want Nymeria and I to dissolve our marriage and marry Margaery? ”
“No, you misunderstood.” Garland felt that Lind was a little angry, and quickly explained: “No, cancel the marriage to Queen Nymeria, but directly marry Margaery.”
“Like Aegon the Conqueror?” Linde’s expression softened a little, then he shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, one wife is enough for me, and I have never thought about marrying a second wife.”
“Is one wife enough?” Garland looked at Lind with doubt and said, “Sir, have you forgotten that Queen Nymeria seems to think that she can’t take care of you alone, and has already made a decision for you. An engagement.”
Linde couldn’t help but froze when he heard Garland’s words, and confirmed: “What are you talking about? What kind of engagement?”
“It’s your engagement to the Dragon Queen Daenerys Targaryen.” Garland looked at Lind in confusion and said, “Even the people of Highgarden know about this, don’t you know? ?”
“It turns out that this is what happened,” Lind said with a look of surprise, “This is just a rumor. Daenerys Targaryen and I have never had any engagement.”
“Your Majesty, are you sure?” Garland was stunned and said: “Queen Nymeria has informed various city-states in Essos through official letters. Even Highgarden has received Nymeria. I believe Sunspear has also received the official letter from Queen A. The official letter also states that you personally delivered the engagement letter to Queen Daenerys…”
“Damn it!” Before Garland finished speaking, Linde understood what was going on and couldn’t help but cursed and said, “I knew there was something wrong with that letter!”
He was already certain that the so-called engagement letter was the letter he gave to Daenerys on behalf of Nymeria that day. No wonder Daenerys had such a strange expression after reading the letter, and no wonder Nymeria was so It was so mysterious that it was no wonder that after Jon handed him the relevant information, he showed such a puzzled expression when he said it was all rumors.
“I don’t know anything about this matter. Nymeria did it all behind my back.” Lind looked annoyed. He wished he could fly to Na Sa star right now and ask Nymeria what she wanted to do. .
“Whether Queen Nymeria made the engagement behind your back or not, it has become an established fact.” Garland calmly reminded Lind, saying: “If you publicly deny your relationship with Queen Daenerys, The marriage contract will inevitably lead to a break between the two queens, and even turn the allies into mortal enemies. As a friend, Lord Linde, I still want to remind you to be careful when making decisions. ”
Lind frowned and said, “Do you think I should acquiesce to what Nymeria did behind my back?”
“I don’t see anything wrong with this for you. You can get a beautiful wife, and the relationship between the new wife and the first wife is like a sister. The new wife also comes with a lot of Territory, army, wealth and three dragons, no matter what, you should not refuse.” Garland said while looking at Linde with envy.
After hearing this, Linde was silent for a long time, seemingly still hesitating.
“When you were talking about Prince Oberon just now, you also said that he had already carried you to sit on the Iron Throne. If you refuse again, you would be hypocritical.” Garland continued: “The matter between you and the two queens has nothing to do with this matter. It’s so similar. If you can accept sitting on the Iron Throne, why can’t you accept an engagement with Queen Daenerys?”
Lind nodded slightly, feeling that what Garland said made sense, but he suddenly looked at Garland with some confusion and said, “When did you become Nymeria’s lobbyist? I acquiesced to the agreement with Danielle. What good can you do to persuade me to marry Daenerys? How can I marry your Tyrell family after I marry Daenerys?
Garland shrugged and said, “Since I already have two wives, it is not impossible to have a third one.”
Lind asked: “Would the Duke and Duchess of Metz allow such a thing?”
Garland explained: “When grandma made the decision, they did not object. They also knew your situation, so they probably acquiesced.”
“Has Margaery become so disliked by your Tyrell family now?” Lind frowned slightly and said, “I would rather let her marry a married man and become the third wife. Are you not willing to help her find a suitable lord or noble? ”
“With Margaery’s temper, how could she be willing to marry an ordinary lord and noble?” Garland shook his head and said: “Originally, because Joffrey regretted the marriage, Renly was assassinated on the wedding day. Few rumors have fallen on her. Now Joffrey has been assassinated. Although it was Ellie who married Joffrey, she is also blamed on her. There are already some rumors outside that she is a witch. Foley was killed by her using witchcraft. In this case, neither the lords nor the great nobles with ancient inheritance were willing to marry Margaery. In the end, she could only marry an ordinary wealthy knight. I will never agree to it, even if it means death.”
Lind also nodded. If Margaery was really asked to choose between marrying a wealthy knight and death, she would choose death without hesitation and dress up beautifully before she died.
Linde asked: “Did you let Margaery come to Summer Hall on purpose?”
Garland shook his head and said: “No! We thought Margaery would go to Old Town or Qingting Island, but she chose to go to Summer Hall on her own, which shows that she still has some feelings for you…”
“There’s nothing, don’t talk nonsense.” Lind didn’t believe Garland’s words at all. The Tyrell family was very thoughtful. I’m afraid they secretly guided Margaery to Summer Hall. Otherwise, given the situation in the Reach at that time, Margaery would How could Li arrive at Summer Hall safely with only a few followers and maids? There might be people from the Tyrell family guarding him, and the Tyrell family might have already set their sights on him for marriage.
Lind sighed, looked at Garland seriously, and said, “We will put this matter on hold for now. We will talk about other things after the matters in King’s Landing are over. As for whether your Tyrell family is willing to support me in sitting on the Iron Throne? I don’t care, and I won’t accept any conditions attached to it, understand?”
“I understand.” Garland smiled. In his opinion, Linde said that the matter was shelved and did not directly veto the matter, which meant that the matter was still possible to discuss, and Linde might have been moved.
If Linde knew what Garland was thinking, he would just give him a blank stare.
Lind didn’t want to continue this topic. He asked instead: “I’m curious, why did your Tyrell family plan to assassinate Joffrey? I remember that you and Joffrey got along very well and were like friends. , Joffrey is also very satisfied with Ellie, and he is also very disgusted with Tywin. Logically speaking, you should be good collaborators. ”
“Because Joffrey looks like a person.” Garlan sighed and said.
“Mad King Aerys,” Lind replied.
“It seems that you have also discovered it.” Garland nodded and said: “Even though Joffrey has a good relationship with us now, once he secures the throne, we will be the first person he has to deal with. Just like Mad King Aerys did to Lord Tywin.”
“If I guess correctly, Duke Tywin should let Tommen marry Ellie, continue to marry the Tyrell family to the Iron Throne, and help Tommen ascend to the Iron Throne.” Lind analyzed it and asked again: “Although I haven’t had much contact with Tommen, he seems to have a very good character and is a kind and kind person. Why didn’t you choose him?”
Garland said solemnly: “The owner of the Iron Throne should not be kind and kind.”
“What are you going to do next?” Linde asked slightly curiously.
Garland shook his head and said: “No, what we have to do has been done, and it depends on others.”
Garland did not stay at Linde’s mansion for too long. After the servant informed Roose Bolton of his visit, he left. When he left, he also met Roose Bolton, but both of them There was no act of conversation.
After Lind saw Roose Bolton, he asked before he could speak: “Lord Bolton, who are you here on behalf of? Yourself? Or Lady Catelyn?”
“Of course, on behalf of us and my wife.” Roose Bolton, who had always been serious about his words, was also smiling at this moment, but his smile didn’t look very good, making people feel that he had some evil intentions.
“Couple?” Lind murmured and asked curiously: “Lord Bolton, I am very curious about how you persuaded Lady Catelyn to marry you and also obeyed your words. Don’t talk about love or anything like that. I know it very well. Lady Catelyn’s feelings for Lord Eddard Stark are so deep that she would rather die than remarry.”
“Emotions?” Roose Bolton suppressed the smile on his face and said: “A woman’s emotions are the most unreliable thing, especially a woman who has suffered a mental breakdown. When she knew that our Majesty Robb had been hacked, After having a wolf head installed on her body, she almost looked like a lunatic. It was me who helped her recover gradually over a long period of time. During this period, I became her new life. The pillar of support became everything to her. Even when she later learned that she still had two sons on the Great Wall, she was unwilling to see them. Her so-called feelings for Lord Eddard Stark had long been forgotten by her. Finally, do you know where we slept the night we left Winterfell for Riverrun? In the underground cemetery of the Stark family, next to Eddard Stark’s grave.”
Hearing Roose Bolton’s words, Lind looked at him with a strange look. To be honest, Roose Bolton’s script sounded familiar to him, which made him feel inexplicably trance-like.
Linde said solemnly: “If she knew that you and Tywin worked together to harm her son, I wonder if she would still be obedient to you?”
“Do you have evidence?” Roose Bolton smiled again and said, “Could it be that I captured Harrenhal for His Majesty Robb, which indirectly caused Kevan Lannister to be ambushed and killed? Isn’t this enough to prove my loyalty to His Majesty Robb?”
Lind reminded: “Don’t forget about James. You hid the fact that James was captured by you from Robb.”
Roose Bolton was obviously well prepared and said: “Jaime is my prisoner and my trophy. I have the right to dispose of my trophy. This doesn’t seem wrong. And don’t forget that one of Jaime’s hands is My people chopped it off. If I were Duke Tywin’s collaborator, how could I chop off the hand of Duke Tywin’s heir?”
When Lind heard this, he couldn’t help but clapped his hands and said: “Lord Roose Bolton, your thoughts are much more careful than I expected, and you hide them very deeply. You have silently become the key to the situation of the battle, even if the battle No one in the future will be able to detect what you are doing here. To be honest, your thoughts make me a little worried! ”
Roose Bolton bowed to Linde with great reverence and said: “Wisdom is not as good as strength. Think about that little finger Petyr Baelish is also a wise man, and he almost plunged all other kingdoms into war. , but now he can only hide in King’s Landing City, and he doesn’t even dare to go to the fiefdom. In front of you, no matter how hard you try, it’s useless. Just like now, if you are willing, even if you don’t have the support of us, you can. You can also become the Lord of the Iron Throne at any time.”
Lind looked at Roose Bolton and was silent for a moment. Some drops of sweat appeared on Roose Bolton’s forehead. It was obvious that Lind had put a lot of pressure on him.
After a while, Lind said: “I hope that the riverlands can be restored to their original state as soon as possible, especially the cultivated land, which must be restored as soon as possible, and I don’t want the lords of the riverlands to have unnecessary casualties again, do you understand? Lu? Lord S Bolton.”
“I obey your instructions.” Roose Bolton couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief and said.
Linde added: “In addition, I don’t want to hear about Mrs. Caitlin’s sudden and unexpected death one day.”
Roose Bolton showed that ugly smile again and said: “No! Caitlin is pregnant. She should have been conceived the night she left King’s Landing. If it is a boy, I plan to name the child Ai De.”
