iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 209 Paper, Pen and Letter Crow 3
"Viserys told me that Targaryen dragon names are usually taken from the names of ancient Valyrian gods... Visenya's dragon is named Vhagar, and Rhaenys's is Meraxes. , Aegon himself rode Balerion, the Black Death."

"It is rumored that the breath of Vhagar can melt the armor of knights... Meraxes can swallow men and horses in one bite... The fire breathed by Balerion is as black as night as its scales, and the shadows of its wings can even Live in a town.”

Daenerys pointed at the little dragon, which was all black and had scarlet stripes on its black scales, and said, "My maid told me that it is like the reincarnation of Balerion."

Her eyes gently swept over the three little dragons that were eating: "But... I don't want them to be the reincarnation of the legendary dragon."

After a moment of silence, Daenerys said: "They are my children. They were born with the blood of my relatives. I want to name them after the relatives who were taken away by the gods."

Green could feel Daenerys' grief at the loss and longing for them, and he held her slightly tighter.

Daenerys pointed to the white and gold dragon and said, "Although Viserys is cruel and weak, he is my brother after all. He is named Viserion."

She pointed to the other little dragon: "Bronze and green, although the time was short, Jon made me feel the true love of family. He is named Jones."

She pointed at the black and red dragon, which was obviously larger than the other two dragons. "Last night, I dreamed that the heroic brother Rhaegar was wearing pitch black armor. In the narrow eye slit of the helmet, there was a blazing flame. He was named Rhaegar."

Daenerys turned her head, looked up at Green, and said, "Green, do you like the name I chose?"

Green lowered his eyes and looked at her. He tapped his chin and said, "Danni, your relatives have not left you."

Daenerys's upper body turned slightly, she put her arms around Green's neck, and murmured: "My knight..."

hiss!hiss!hiss!Not long after Wen Nuan, he was interrupted by the random screams of three little dragons.

Green separated from Daenerys, raised his eyebrows, and moved his gaze to the three little dragons, who immediately ate obediently.

Daenerys couldn't help laughing and said, "It turns out they become well-behaved in front of you."

She followed Green's example, raised one eyebrow slightly, and said, "Take me to the dormitory."

"Yes, my princess."

…………

Red Fort, Megh Minar.

"roll!"

With Cersei Lannister's angry roar, a golden cup "whistled" flying towards him, but the little devil prime minister nimbly dodged it.

"Hey, we are siblings..."

Before he finished speaking, Tyrion Lannister saw Cersei picking up the flagon, and he trotted away lamely.

…………

Outside the gate of Magta, Tyrion was still panting, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead in an exaggerated manner.

"My sister is so gentle."

Tyrion's little squire Podrick Payne silently handed over a clean towel, and his captain of the guard joked: "My lord, this time is more enthusiastic than the last time."

Tyrion's guard captain, named Bronn, is a swordsman whom his young squire found for him (Chapter 179).

When they first met, Bronn was a freerider with messy hair and a messy beard, wearing a faded blue cloak.He was lean and had a ferocious appearance like a hungry wolf. When he saw the golden dragon, his face was filled with vulgarity, so...Tyrion quickly fell in love with him and his greedy smile.

Bronn's ability soon gained Tyrion's trust, and he promoted him to be his captain of the guard. On the day he was appointed captain of the guard, he gave him a Lannister cloak with gold hands on a crimson background as a gift. .

…………

Today, Bronn's black hair was neatly combed and his beard was clean shaven. He was wearing the black breastplate of an officer in gold robes, and a Lannister cloak hanging from his shoulders.

Tyrion held his chin and looked at his guard captain up and down, and said: "Bronn, you are dressed like this...I heard they like it very much?"

Bronn spread his hands and grinned: "My lord, there is no disadvantage."

Tyrion said seriously: "My guard captain, why do I worry that you will betray me every time I see your happy smile?"

Bronn stroked his chest gracefully and saluted: "Lord Tyrion, my loyalty belongs to you alone."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the purse hanging from Tyrion's waist.

Tyrion laughed playfully, patted his money bag and said, "I feel relieved now."

…………

Tyrion took a short step forward, and Podrick and Bronn followed him on the left and right.

While walking, Bronn whispered: "Lord Tyrion, I heard that your Queen Mother ordered your beautiful cousin to contact many mercenaries in King's Landing."

"She does little tricks every day, which is the interest of my smart sister."

Tyrion paused. He looked back at Megta in the distance, sighed helplessly, and said: "Her beautiful and white shoulders bear too many heavy responsibilities. As her favorite brother, I have to Try to lighten her load."

After saying that, the three of them were silent for a moment. Podrick carefully glanced at Tyrion, who had a deep expression on his face, and comforted him awkwardly: "My lord, although... Queen Cersei seems... not to understand you yet. It’s hard work, but...I think sooner or later she will feel your...consideration."

Hearing this, Tyrion and Bronn looked at each other and pursed their lips.

Tyrion coughed slightly and stood with his hands behind his back: "Pod, you are right, my gentle sister will understand my good intentions sooner or later."

Bronn turned his head to the other side and chuckled.

Tyrion smiled and patted the young squire's thigh, showing a satisfied look on his face.

He took another step and said as he walked: "Bronn, the gentle Queen Mother is very angry today. Even the gods and the old lady have no way of knowing her next move. You have to let people keep an eye on her."

Bronn smiled evilly: "As you command, my lord."

Tyrion rubbed his hair... It was only a matter of time before the enemy came to the city. In order to control the golden robe as soon as possible, he moved too frequently. Even with the cover-up of his good cousin, Cersei still noticed that something was wrong.

Tyrion smiled happily again...but it was too late, his Ser Jacelyn Byward had already controlled most of the golden robes on his behalf (Chapter 185).

Tyrion pinched his chin... Green was indeed a reliable ally, and in return, he had to meet his nephew, the king, as soon as possible.

Thinking of Green, Tyrion felt a little regretful. He had known that he should have asked him for more advice on how to serve Cersei.Tyrion is cautious in the face of the lioness' wrath.

The reason for caution is not only because of Tyrion's character and his understanding of Cersei, but most importantly, the former Prime Minister used his personal experience to leave him precious lessons.

Good sister, he is not Eddard Stark.

…………

After withdrawing his thoughts, Tyrion hummed the King's Landing ditty happily.

Bronn showed an evil smile again: "My lord, there is something I have to tell you. Your pet is back."

Tyrion's expression froze, and his voice was filled with pain: "Countess Tanda is here again?"

Countess Tanda's name is Tanda Stokeworth. She is the countess of Stokeworth, the royal territory. She has two daughters, the eldest daughter Faris (35 years old, married) and youngest daughter Loris (33 years old, unmarried).

Bronn replied: "Countess Tanda invites you to dinner again. She has prepared a large piece of venison shank, two stuffed geese drizzled with mulberry sauce, and..."

Tyrion scratched his hair in pain and said, "Her little daughter, right?"

Since Tyrion took the position of Prime Minister, in order to deal with the material blockade of King's Landing by the Baratheon brothers, he has taken a fancy to Stokeworth, which is located not far north of King's Landing like Rosby City. This castle The owner is none other than Countess Tanda.

The process and result of Tyrion's interview with Countess Tanda were very pleasant, but then she pursued her. She took turns using eel pie, wild boar and delicious cream soup as weapons. Her purpose was to kill Her youngest daughter marries Tyrion.

As for her little daughter Loris... half a person has seen a mountain... so don't mention it.

…………

Tyrion looked into the distance and groaned: "I have paid too much for this kingdom..."

Bronn said seriously: "Lord Tyrion, King's Landing cannot be separated from the support of Stoke Worth."

Tyrion heard the schadenfreude in Bronn's voice.

He looked at his guard captain with a careful look and said: "Bronn, do you want to own a castle?"

Bronn's eyes suddenly lit up, and a vulgar and flattering smile appeared on his face: "My noble and wise Prime Minister, Bronn is at your disposal."

Tyrion grinned: "Countess Tanda's Stokeworth."

…………

Prime Minister's Tower, Prime Minister's Study Room.

Varys held his hands together and nodded in salute: "Good day, Prime Minister Tyrion."

Tyrion smiled and said: "Varys, I really hope you didn't bring any disturbing news. The roar of the lioness is enough to make me sleep hard."

Varys smiled, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Tyrion.

Tyrion picked up the letter and read it. As he read the letter, he seemed to be talking to himself: "The news that Stannis claimed to be king..."

Renly Baratheon is supported by the Lords of the Stormlands and the Reach, and despite his might, Tyrion places his threat level below that of Stannis Baratheon.

Compared to Renly, who likes to play dress-up games, Stannis has a harsh and ruthless style, and he has rich combat experience. His royal fleet may suddenly appear under King's Landing at any time.

No matter how many fishermen Tyrion spent to recruit to spy on Dragonstone, none of them came back, and even the little bird Varys placed beside Stannis was nowhere to be found.

What he is most worried about is the joining forces of the Baratheon brothers. If Stannis attacks from the sea while his brother Renly leads his army to attack the city, it won't be long before Joffrey's head will be on the point of a spear. On... What's worse is that his head will be stuck next to him.

For a while, this depressing scene flashed through Tyrion's mind, until the messenger crow arrived claiming Stannis as king.

When he got the news, Tyrion toasted with everyone on the spot and wanted to dance for sister Cersei.

Both Baratheons have claimed to be kings. If one attacks King's Landing first, no matter whether he wins or loses, that person may be harvested by the other Baratheon, so Lannister also gets more valuable time. , gods bless him.

…………

He looked up at Wallis and said, "Lord Wallis, isn't this news from decades ago?"

Wallis smiled lightly and said: "My Prime Minister, please read on..."

Tyrion nodded slightly and lowered his eyes.

After a while, Tyrion placed the letter on the table. He frowned and murmured: "Does the Crab Claw Peninsula in the king's territory support Stannis as the legal king?"

He looked at Varys and continued: "Legitimate king? This term feels familiar, Lord Varys."

Varys shrugged: "Prime Minister Tyrion, my little bird has checked and the source of this news should be Dragonstone Island where Stannis is located."

Tyrion's eyes moved slightly, he laughed, leaned back comfortably, and said: "After Stannis became king, did he also like this kind of Machiavellian method? If it were me, at least he would Make up something more reliable. For example..."

After a pause, he continued: "Stannis Baratheon and Robb Stark met with the best female branch in King's Landing to discuss the plan to capture the Red Keep. This will at least scare away all the tourists."

He added: "Or... he said he was going to kneel down and lick Renly's boots... Well, this news will definitely scare me away."

Varys first smiled and shook his head, then sighed and said, "My little birdie told me that on the way to Mermaid Harbor, Lord Greene's Mermaid, filled with swamp marigolds, stopped at Dragonstone for a while. time."

Tyrion asked: "A while?"

Varys replied: "About half a day."

Tyrion's eyes moved slightly, and he said seriously: "Lord Varys, do you have any other information?"

Varys suppressed the smile on his face and lowered his voice slightly: "My little birdie told me that Earl Green suddenly left the territory with six ships and has not returned yet."

Tyrion's eyes rolled, he leaned forward and said in a deep voice: "Lord Varys, do you think Earl Green betrayed the Red Keep?"

Varys shook his head quickly, and added a gesture of denial: "My Lord Prime Minister, this is impossible. I don't think even the White Walkers believe this kind of thing."

After a pause, he added uneasily: "I would rather believe that Lord Greene has defected to Renly than that he will defect to Stannis. At least the former... can deceive many people."

Tyrion stared at Varys, who looked slightly nervous, and said with a smile: "Lord Varys, I support your hypothesis. I think many people in King's Landing are secretly planning how to join forces with a hundred thousand troops. Renly."
