Chapter 279 Another Situation
Tyrion looked at the shocked Edmure, raised an eyebrow slightly, and then said: "Although my sister has been married, she is still white. The Seven Gods prefer her."
With his sincere eyes, Tyrion suddenly felt in his heart... He was now like a female boss recommending female employees to guests. His face must be full of flattery now.
Maybe, in the future, he can find a job with Sataya (the owner of the largest female branch in King's Landing) for fun... Well, he missed Shae's pertness.
Tyrion Lannister immediately retracted his thoughts that almost went astray, and he winked at Edmure jokingly.
Edmure Tully trembled his lips for a while, and using the gesture of raising a glass... he moved his body, took a big sip of wine, and said, "Tyrion, your joke today is not funny at all."
Edmure looked away and shook his right leg as if he didn't care.
Tyrion stared at Edmure silently.
After a pause, Edmure's blue eyes moved slightly. He first looked at Tyrion, then immediately looked away and said: "Because we are friends, I can pretend that I didn't hear it, Tyrion."
Seeing Edmure's "little action", Tyrion's lips curled up unnoticeably, and he could tell that the heir to Riverrun was already tempted.
"Although……"
Before he finished speaking, Tyrion let out a long sigh and continued: "I am still very grateful to you, Edmure."
In Edmure's eyes... Tyrion rubbed his face, forced a smile, and turned to other topics.
Listening to the interesting stories about Tyrion and Beauty, which he usually loved most, Edmure felt more and more uncomfortable now. He actually wanted to hear about Cersei more.
When he drank the thirteenth glass of summer red, Edmure felt a little irritated as he looked at Tyrion who kept talking. The Lannister half-man, who was usually so smart, didn't realize that he wanted to continue talking. His sister - Cersei Lannister? !
During the fifteenth cup of summer red, Edmure couldn't hold it in anymore. He coughed lightly to attract Tyrion's attention, and then he tried his best to pretend not to care and said: "Tyrion, my friend, you Is that true?"
Facing Tyrion's doubtful gaze, the heir of the Tully family gave a slight reminder: "Ahem, I mean... about your sister being trapped in Magta."
Hearing Edmure's words, Tyrion was stunned for a moment. He held the wine glass in his hand and remained silent for a while, then nodded.
Then, he leaned back in his chair, stared in the direction of the window, and said slowly: "It's true, my father doesn't want Cersei to appear in front of Joffrey. He feels that a mother can easily make her son weak."
Edmure blurted out: "How can this be done? This is still... this... this..."
Tyrion shrugged and said: "This is Tywin Lannister, my kind father. He has only one request for his children, obey any of his orders, whether you are willing or not."
Edmure sympathized with Cersei's situation and murmured: "Although her husband has passed away, she is already the mother of her child. She shouldn't... alas... Tyrion, I am not in a position to judge anything. My friend, don’t be too sad.”
Tyrion tapped his chin and raised the glass with a sad expression, privately enjoying the sweetness of summer red.
He exhaled and said: "Robert has never let my sister experience true conjugal love. Until now...she is not only the beauty of a girl, but also still retains the pure heart of a girl."
After a pause, he raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, showing a bitter smile: "Before I set off from King's Landing, Cersei still firmly believed... that one day, the knights in the poem would rescue her from Magta. For that day, For that knight, she dresses up beautifully every day... I am proud of my sister’s beautiful heart, and sad for her innocence.”
Tyrion wiped the corners of his eyes again: "I am so useless. I don't have the courage to resist my father. I am sorry for my sister's love and care for me."
Edmure felt the same way. If it were him...if his sister was trapped and he had no way to save her, he would definitely go crazy. He guessed that because they had a cold-blooded father who only cared about power like Lord Tywin, the relationship between the Lannister siblings must be as deep as their Tully siblings.
The atmosphere became dull. Edmure opened his mouth and reluctantly comforted: "Your sister is the king's mother after all..."
The king's mother... repeated it in his heart. Edmure's belly suddenly felt a little hot. He quickly suppressed the sudden strange feeling and continued: "Everyone is watching. I don't think Lord Tywin dares to be too cautious." Too much."
"If he cared about other people's eyes, he would not be Lord Tywin, and there would be no rainy season in Castamere."
Tyrion's tone was sarcastic: "If Lord Frey can help Lord Tywin, I can guarantee that my father will send Cersei to Lord Frey's bed immediately without hesitation."
After imagining that scene, the good-tempered Edmure suddenly felt the urge to kill. He drank wine silently to suppress the emotions surging in his heart.
Tyrion scratched his hair, which was made like a pile of messy grass: "Because of the preference of the Seven Gods and his old man, Cersei has the beauty of the Seven Kingdoms, but he did not give her the beauty of an ordinary woman. Enjoy the love you get as a couple.”
He looked at Edmure, who was looking at him steadily, and said, "To be honest, I have never seen a woman more beautiful than my sister."
He lowered his voice slightly: "Her toes are all masterpieces of the Seven Gods in the mortal world..."
He sighed softly: "This may be the price she pays for having the best beauty in Westeros."
At this moment, the image of Cersei in Edmure's heart became more real. She was as stunningly beautiful as the rumors said, and still very weak.
She needed the protection of the knight, this was salvation, maybe... he was the knight she had been waiting for.
No, he was, he could do it.
Edmure Tully had been "well-behaved" since he was a child, but today... he had to make a decision alone, maybe a little impulsive, but he could no longer suppress the love that was surging in his heart, and he didn't want to regret it for the rest of his life.
Edmure stood up from his chair suddenly, and he said to Tyrion: "My friend, I will talk to my father about Cersei Lannister."
Without waiting for Tyrion's response, he took a step directly, like a warrior heading to the battlefield: "I'll go now."
Tyrion's outstretched hand stopped there, he stared blankly at Edmure's back as he left, until he completely disappeared, he murmured: "Good luck to you."
After that, he burped for a long time.
Not long after Edmure left, footsteps sounded, and Ser Adam Marbrand (Jaime's childhood friend, who escorted Tyrion to Riverrun on the orders of Lord Tywin, Chapter 258) in black armor walked in.
Ser Adam stood in front of Tyrion, stared at him for a while, and said: "Tyrion, what are you thinking?"
Tyrion took a sip of wine and said drunkenly: "Do you like eavesdropping, sir?"
Ser Adam had a blank expression on Tyrion's sarcasm: "I'm not a fool, your sellsword guards deliberately let me hear your conversation."
Tyrion grinned: "This is not a good excuse. If he is a real knight, he will definitely refuse my kindness."
Ser Adam clenched his fists and said: "I will report everything you say and do in Riverrun to Lord Tywin. This is my duty."
