iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 590 The Temptation of Rose 8
The air was filled with the smell of damp earth mixed with moss and rotten leaves. The simple-minded Majesty Green seemed not to understand her "joke".

He coughed lightly and said seriously, "It's the same during the day."

Hearing this, Margaret raised her little face, paused for a moment, but couldn't help but giggle.

The rose smiled so hard that its branches trembled. Green's mouth corners raised and he couldn't help but smile as well.

Dark brown eyes met light brown eyes during laughter.

Time seemed to freeze. After a pause, Green avoided his gaze as naturally as possible, grabbed a piece of wood at random and threw it into the flickering campfire.

Seeing this, a gentle smile flashed across Margaret's lips, fleetingly.

Margery also grabbed a piece of wood and threw it into the fire, then took off her soft leather gloves.

Grasping the dark brown gloves that made her slender fingers look pale, she stared at the flames and suddenly said, "I am actually very reluctant to leave King's Landing, not because of my family, but because of... my selfishness."

After a pause, she opened her red lips and said, "But I will leave. I know that my journey has come to an end. This is also for my own sake."

She sighed tiredly, "It's also to nurture my family."

After a moment of silence, Green raised his hand slightly, signaling the wine waiter who was waiting not far away with a wine jug and wine glass to come forward.

Crash---

The bright red of summer wine flows out from the golden mouth of the pot like a silky stream, slowly gathering in the wine glass.

When the young waiter who filled the glass nodded and left, Green first picked up the glass and took a sip of Summer Red before he slowly spoke: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Turning her gaze to the chess player of the Seven Kingdoms whom she still couldn't see clearly, Margery took a sip of summer red and fell silent again.

The cool breeze flowed freely in the forest, and birds returning to their nests flapped their wings and flew by.

Margery's eyes moved towards the dark shadows of the forest and she murmured, "I don't know..."

The dusk grows deeper, and the interweaving of darkness and faint light seems to make people immersed in a dream.

Little Rose looked at Green again, smiled softly, and said, "Being able to invite you is already a surprise enough for me."

Green shrugged and paused. She asked, "Will you stay until my farewell party is over? After the party is over, I plan to leave directly from here."

Looking at those bright eyes, after a pause, Green took a sip of wine and said, "It's my honor, Miss Margery."

"Oh, thank you."

Putting on her gloves again, Margaret stood up from the chair, then she walked to Green and slowly leaned over, her soft lips brushing Green's cheek: "Please allow me to leave first."

Separating their bodies, she bowed to him lightly, her voice full of joy: "Your Majesty, I want to share this good news with others. I am a little impatient. Please forgive my presumptuousness."

……

Margaery and her maidens are escorted away by a detachment of blue riders, and Ser Brienne arrives to report that Ser Balon Swann is returning with his kill.

Soon, Green saw seven wild boars, including the ones he hunted, which seemed to be from the same family.

"Seven" is a good number in Westeros, representing the favor of the Seven Gods.

As a reward, Lord Green announced in front of everyone that Ser Balon would go to Storm's End to complete the final training of the Kingsguard.

Ser Balon shouted excitedly, and Ser Meryn and Ser Mandon both pounded their fists on his breastplate as was customary for their young Kingsguard brothers.

……

When Green arrived at the Tyrell camp, the excited Prime Minister Mace loudly announced that the hunting party held for Margaery would last for seven days and seven nights - may the seven gods in heaven bless his most beloved daughter.

The dinner was held outside the tent. The main course was barbecued game, and with the various wines from Green Hall Island and bonfire dancing, the scene was extremely lively. During the banquet, the slightly drunk Prime Minister Metz led the elegant roses to dance around the fire. The exaggerated movements made Green appreciate them.

At the same time, Green also witnessed Lady Margery's true drinking capacity. She drank three pots of red wine without changing her expression or feeling drunk at all.

Leo Tyrell, who scored 99 points and was the temporary wine steward, was very popular among the ladies. His Majesty Green, who scored 95 points (bonus points for the coronation), was not surprised at all.

Women in Westeros love to look at faces, as Jaime and Willas have proven.

The laughter continued and the party ended late at night.

……

King's tent.

While Ser Brienne made the bed, Grimm reclined in a wooden chair, reading a letter.

There are two letters in total, one from Mermaid Harbor and the other from the Iron Bank representative, Nacho Demetrius (Chapter 226).

The letter from Mermaid Harbor was from Governor Herschel, the main content of which was: Lady Lyanna Crabbe and her daughter, Isabel (Chapter 446), had successfully boarded the Black Pearl bound for King's Landing.

The content of what Nacho Demetrius wrote is... their people found a woman called "Sailor's Wife" in a women's house in Braavos.

Black hair and blue eyes, about 362% similar to the appearance in the portrait (Chapter ), and the age is appropriate.

Green's finger tapped the edge of the letter. Sailor's Wife... Tyrion had mentioned a lot about his past with his wife. He said he had promised her to take her around the world.

She speaks the Common Tongue of Westeros, and only sleeps with those she is married to, sometimes getting married three or four times a night...

She also has a 14-year-old blonde daughter. The time she was sent to the merchant ship and the girl's hair color... Was she pregnant at that time? If the speculation is true, then Tywin is really damned.

She never revealed her original name...

After reading to the end, Green was a little surprised that every time Nacho Demetrius wrote to him, he would euphemistically mention the royal debt in the letter.

However, it disappeared from the letter.

He only expressed his regret and apology for not being able to witness the coronation of the king and queen, and said that he would prepare carefully congratulatory gifts for them.

Green read the last few lines several times, making sure there was no subtle threat before putting the letter away and handing it to Ser Brienne, who had just joined him.

"Remind me to write back to Demetrius tomorrow morning."

"As ordered."

……

As Green stretched, Ser Brienne, who had just left, reentered the king's tent.

"Your Majesty, Lady Margaery Tyrell requests an audience with you."

"Margaery?" After hearing what Brienne reported, Green paused for a moment, then frowned slightly.

After a short silence, Green left his chair and pointed to the rack beside him: "I'll go out and meet her."

Ser Brienne nodded, and she took the cloak from the rack and put it on Green.

……

When Green walked out of the tent, Margaret was not waiting outside the tent door. He saw her sitting alone by the campfire with her knees hugged.

His Majesty Green: "..."
