Chapter 123 Green's Words (End)
Green first looked at Margaery, then fell silent for a while, and then said, "Mrs. Olenna, the Crab Claw Peninsula needs more support, not only grain and weapons, but also farmers and blacksmiths."

Olenna stared at Green for a while with cloudy eyes, and said, "Son, you seem to be in a hurry? Governing the territory requires patience."

Olenna's tone was very kind, she showed the kindness of an old man, as if she was encouraging Grin to say more.

"Ms. Orianna, Miss Margery, is the hatred between the Crab Claw Peninsula and the Valley a secret secret?"

Green frowned slightly, and continued: "After the war more than ten years ago, the nobles of the valley blocked and suppressed the Crab Claw Peninsula for more than ten years with the acquiescence of the former Prime Minister, making the chaotic situation in the Crab Claw Peninsula even more unbearable."

As he said that, Green's tone became colder: "In order to compete for the limited living resources, we have shed a lot of blood, and this is the result of the calculations of the valley nobles behind the scenes. There has long been a deep blood feud between the Crab Claw Peninsula and the valley. "

After a pause, Green spread his hands: "It won't be long before Kleiber will establish the rule of the Crab Claw Peninsula. According to normal circumstances, the Crab Claw Peninsula will usher in peace that has been rare for hundreds of years."

Green shook his head slightly: "But the result is exactly the opposite. The Crab Claw Peninsula is very special. Without the blood of the Valley, even if Kleb establishes the rule of the Crab Claw Peninsula, he cannot eliminate the deep hatred of the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula against the Valley... Blood debts are paid with blood, this is a tradition that even I, the lord, cannot stop."

Margaery listened quietly and understood what Green said, but she found it incredible.

Earl Green, how dare he provoke a war of revenge against the "Valley Kingdom"?this……

Margaery's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she said, "Lord Grimm, are you going to start a war with the Vale of Arryn?"

Green shrugged and replied, "Miss Margery, this is unavoidable. Even the lord cannot go against the unanimous wishes of all the citizens."

After finishing speaking, Green added in a contemptuous tone: "I will never forget that they almost forced Kleiber to exterminate the entire family. Now it's just a lack of a suitable time."

Green appeared confident, as if a mighty valley could be shattered with a single punch.

In Margery's view, Green's behavior of hitting a stone with a pebble is no different from suicide, which violates the impression Green has always left on her.

With the wisdom of Earl Greene, it is impossible not to foresee the consequences of challenging the valley. Could it be that hatred blinded his eyes?
Margaret felt that there were many ways to get revenge, so she wanted to persuade her, but she thought of the grandmother at the side, and also thought that this was Kleiber's "private matter", so she didn't open her mouth.

…………

Olenna said slowly: "Young people's thoughts really startle me more and more, you should be very clear that the Seven Kingdoms will not allow your revenge... It seems that the timing you mentioned is very important ?”

Green nodded and said, "Yes, ma'am! If you agree with my proposal, I will arrange everything. You just need to wait and see what happens, and we will each get what we need."

Olenna smiled and said: "The old woman just needs to sit quietly and watch the show?"

Green reached out and picked up the wine glass, gestured to Margaery, and said, "The Golden Rose can avoid unnecessary fights and conflicts, and you can wait for a favorable opportunity with peace of mind."

Olenna stared at Green for a while, and said, "Earl Green, Golden Rose likes your proposal, and your frankness also makes me, an old woman, very happy."

Margery looked at her grandmother, and she saw her grandmother move her chin imperceptibly.

Margaery said solemnly: "Earl Green, no fourth person will know the content of our conversation today. This is Tyrell's guarantee."

Green nodded, and said solemnly: "Miss Margery, you will see the opportunity within half a year. This is Kleiber's promise."

…………

Seeing that the deal was concluded, Olenna patted the table and said loudly: "Margery, your grandmother doesn't like leeks. Ask the waiter to bring the broth and bring me the cheese."

…………

…………

The night sky in King's Landing is full of stars, as if embellished with brilliant diamonds.

After the meal, Green bid farewell to Olenna, and Margaret sent her off specially.

The night was very quiet.

While walking, Margaret suddenly said: "Earl Green, please forgive me, you should be very clear about the consequences of going to war with the Valley."

Margaery's steps are light, and the green dress on her body is simple in style, but it shows off her graceful figure well.

The full moon hung high, and the beauty of Margaery and the moonlight reflected each other.

Green slowed down and said in a gentle tone: "You mean well, I'm very grateful, Miss Margery."

A trace of hesitation flashed across his handsome face, and Green added: "Some things are unavoidable, and you will see good results."

Margaret raised her face and looked at Green: "Earl Green, I heard that you don't have a fiancée yet?"

Green raised his eyebrows, as if he could smell the big pie.

Margery continued: "You met in Highgarden. Her name is Eero Tyrell. Elo is my cousin. She is charming and witty."

Eero Tyrell?Green remembered the beautiful and slender girl in Margery's maids.

It seems that he is only eleven or twelve years old this year, right?
Green chuckled: "Miss Margery, the delicate flowers in the south can't adapt to the crab claw peninsula full of savages."

Green's words revealed a tactful refusal.

Green sighed inwardly, the marriage partner who seemed to be a half-savage noble had quietly upgraded without knowing it... Juan Wang Green's morale was secretly high.

After being happy for a moment, Green began to analyze rationally.

Olenna or Margaery herself?Green is more inclined to believe that this was Olenna's instruction.

Did the old lady take a fancy to Kleiber's soldiers?Taking advantage of this transaction, by the way, train him to be a loyal thug of Golden Rose?

Green suddenly felt that marriage was really a useful political tool.

Margery's elk-like eyes blinked. She was a little surprised by Green's answer, and she couldn't guess the reason for Green's refusal for the time being.

Seeing that Green declined, Margaery changed the topic: "Earl Green, Tyrell's merchant ships will soon transport supplies to Mermaid Port."

Green nodded in thanks: "You are so thoughtful, Miss Margery."

In the middle of the godswood in Winterfell stood an ancient weirwood. A human face was carved on the trunk. It was long and melancholy, with deep-set eyes full of dried red sap, which looked strange and full of warning.

Catelyn and Maester Luwin found Eddard Stark under the weirwood.

Duke Ed was sitting on the moss-covered rock, holding a piece of oiled leather in his hand to wipe the blade of "Ice" lightly.

The ice has a dull luster. It has a history of 400 years, but it is still as sharp as when it was first forged.

Caitlin called softly, "Ned..."

Ed looked up at his wife and said, "Caitlin? Where are the children?"

Ned's first sentence every time would be to ask her about the child's whereabouts. Caitlin was used to this sentence very early, but when she heard it today, her heart was inexplicably tugged.

Caitlin quickly calmed down, she smiled softly: "They all gathered at the training ground."

The corners of Ed's lips curled up, and he said, "We're leaving tomorrow, and I'll leave the house to you, Caitlin."

Caitlin's eyes suddenly turned red and she nodded silently.

Ed turned to Luwin with a heavy face and said: "Major Luwin, I have always treated you as my own blood and flesh, no matter how big or small, give Caitlin more advice and teach my children what they must know. Don't Forget, winter is coming."

Luwin nodded and stroked his chest: "Your Excellency, I will fulfill my duties well! The gods bless you and let you go home as soon as possible."
