Chapter 76 Meet the Queen of Thorns

When Caitlin led someone into the Knights of Flowers' military camp, she also discovered an unexpected person.

Littlefinger Petyr.

Petyr used to be a skinny boy, but now he has grown into a skinny man, an inch or two shorter than Caitlin, but slender and agile, his face is as sharp as she remembered, and his eyes were full of smiles. gray-green eyes.

"Why are you here?" Caitlin asked directly.

Petyr showed a narrow smile, exactly the same as when he was a child: "Of course it is the same as your purpose, Kate."

Caitlin ignored her deliberate intimacy, and was not surprised that he could guess her purpose. He had shown a unique cunningness since he was a child.

Petyr was sent to Riverrun for training since he was a child, and lived with the two sisters Catelyn and Lysa.

Whenever he made a mistake, he would admit it with a harmless look.

It wasn't until he captured Lysa's first night that he finally made Duke Tully furious and drove him back.

Now that he is the finance minister of the kingdom, he must have one purpose and only one purpose when he came to the army in Highgarden during this chaotic time.

"Let's go." Caitlin didn't want to say more to him, lest he get the information out of her.

Petyr looked at Caitlin with some surprise. He also knew that Caitlin appeared in Renly's army, but after what happened last night, he thought Caitlin would leave immediately.

Unexpectedly, she could come here to gain support from the High Court just like him.

Petyr looked at the figure he dreamed of: "It seems that time has still changed people. However, I like changes..."

Catelyn was the first to be received by the Knight of Flowers because it was rumored that Catelyn was the only one present after Renly's death.

What the Knight of Flowers wants to know most at this time is the truth about Renly's death.

Caitlin took Brienne into the big tent, which was full of vigilant guards. The two children of the Rose family sat at the top.

The Knight of Flowers and his sister Little Rose.

Seeing Caitlin come in, the Knight of Flowers was instantly furious: "Murderer, you dare to come back, I should call someone to catch you right now and make you pay for it with your life!"

Caitlin showed no fear: "Since we dare to come, it means that we are not murderers, and we are sure to prove that we are not."

"Oh? How to prove it? To be honest, you should really thank Sir Robert. He let you go. I chopped him to death first. Now that I have calmed down a lot, you can stand up and talk to me."

The Knight of Flowers was Renly's lover and the captain of his Rainbow Knights, and Sir Robert was a member of the Rainbow Knights. Because he did not fulfill his duty faithfully and the Knight of Flowers was in a rage at the time, he killed him directly.

Also suffering were all the Rainbow Knights on duty that night.

Caitlin silently mourned for the familiar Sir Robert in her heart. He died because of her, and she would have to compensate his family in the future.

"It wasn't us who killed Renly, it was Stannis..."

Caitlin recounted what happened that night, in detail.

The Knight of Flowers said: "Do you think I would believe such a bizarre thing?" But in his heart, he believed it half a dozen times.

Because this matter is indeed too bizarre, and there is no flaw in what Caitlin said.

It's so fake that it doesn't even look fake.

Caitlin didn't explain much. She said in a smooth and calm tone: "I hope to resolve this misunderstanding with Highgarden and then meet the Queen of Thorns."

Everyone knew that the speaker in Highgarden was not the current Duke, but Lady Olenna, the Queen of Thorns, who was famous for her iron-bloodedness and calmness.

The Knight of Flowers sneered: "Do you think I will let you see my grandma and then let you murder her?"

At this time, Caitlin already knew that her life was safe, because although the Knight of Flowers was furious, he never called his men to kill him, but kept threatening him.You don't behave like this when you want to kill someone.

Sure enough, Little Rose, who had been watching on the sidelines, came down and comforted her brother: "Mrs. Caitlin wants to see grandma, so let's let them meet. I believe grandma will make her own judgment."

Caitlin glanced at Little Rose, secretly sighing at her beauty and feeling how wonderful it is to be young.

After the meeting, Catelyn left the camp and returned to Highgarden with the army here.

She saw Petyr walking into the siblings' tent, but Catelyn wasn't nervous.

No matter how eloquent Petyr was, the Queen of Thorns would not marry her granddaughter to the Lannister family.

-

When the army returned to Highgarden, Catelyn was put in place.

As far as she knew, the Queen of Thorns first met Littlefinger Petyr, and it took a few more days before she sent someone to find her.

This shows that the Queen of Thorns still belongs to King's Landing at this time.

Entering the castle, it is entirely built of white marble. The interior is like a green paradise, with flowers blooming everywhere. Gardens, pools, and artificial waterfalls decorate the entire castle.

The castle is full of stone carvings, fountains and marble columns. Grapes and roses decorate the walls and sculptures, and the ancient buildings are covered with vines.

As Catelyn passed the tower, she could see all the manors and fields within a few leagues, covered with flowers and golden roses.

This is Highgarden, this is the Reach.

The most beautiful castle and the richest region in the entire Westeros continent.

Caitlin had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. She followed the guidance of her entourage and came to a magnificent living room.

Different from the living rooms in other places, the living room in the High Court is an open-air bed space with a fountain and potted plants in the middle. The eaves on both sides cast shadows, and the curtain-like golden gauze blocks out the sunlight.

The Queen of Thorns sat curled up on a chair, waiting for her guests.

Caitlin couldn't believe that the thin woman with twinkling eyes in front of her was older than her father.

Seeing Caitlin's arrival, the Queen of Thorns smiled: "The lady of the Wolf family is really a rare guest."

There is little interaction between Highgarden and Winterfell, and the two sides are far apart, so members of both sides usually meet in King's Landing.

Caitlin saluted gracefully: "Lady Olenna Red, I send my greetings to you on behalf of Robb, King of the North."

The Queen of Thorns sneered: "Oh, King of the North, such an ancient name. Now that there are more kings on the continent, this title seems to be worthless."

Caitlin was not to be outdone: "But it is still rare to see a king with [-] elite soldiers, control one-half of the continent's territory, and repel the invasion of the Lannister and Iron Islands, isn't it, madam?"

"Yes, I know. Your son killed the Demon Mountain, and we accept his love."

The Mountain has done a lot of bad things under Tywin's orders. As long as you take off his head, you can be treated well in the homes of most lords in Westeros, because his head is the best greeting gift.

The Queen of Thorns changed the subject: "But the forces and troops controlled by King's Landing are no less than yours. They still have a nominal advantage. The most important thing is that it is very close to us."

Caitlin knew that she would not be a match for this old woman, the Queen of Thorns, in terms of cunning and talking skills, so she simply said directly: "I know that Petyr also came to you to seek marriage, but, I think there are some situations where you can You should know..."

Caitlin told all of Joffrey's absurd and cruel things, and the core meaning was only one:
If you marry your granddaughter, you will also suffer unexpected insults.

The Queen of Thorns didn't take Caitlin's words to heart at first, but the more she heard, the more something was wrong. Although her face was expressionless, she was already muttering in her heart.

How could there be such stupid and bad people?
