The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Chapter 347: Kleber's Tradition 4

Prince Oberyn was silent for a while. He stared at the direction where his mistress was lying and whispered, "Kindness is Elia's weakness, which hurt her."

Seeing that Oberyn's tone had lost a lot of coldness, Tyrion warned himself not to let his mouth be faster than his brain, and said, "Your Highness, please continue your story?"

Although Tyrion was quite drunk, he did not dare to bet on his father's love for his dwarf son. Because he knew that if he affected Lord Tywin's plan for the Martell family in a bad way, he would definitely be punished mercilessly.

On the other hand, he knew that the relationship between the Lannister, Tyrell, and Crabbe families was delicate. If he could get the support of Martell, the Lannister family's dominance in King's Landing would be strengthened a lot.

Thinking of this, Tyrion squeezed out more smiles on his face. He thought it was for Lannister, and also for himself to continue to spend money outside.... He was sure that his expression at this moment was very similar to Moon Boy (the Red Castle Jester).

Prince Oberyn glanced at Tyrion, who seemed to have turned over the previous little unpleasantness and continued: "After admiring your little **, I told Cersei that her brother was a pitiful little monster, but your sister was very unhappy. She said that you killed her mother when you were born, and then..."

The dark eyes moved, and he looked at Tyrion, with the corners of his lips raised: "She stretched out her hand and twisted your little ** hard, and her cute little hand seemed to want to tear it off. You screamed immediately, but she turned a deaf ear to you. In the end, it was Jaime who stopped her, and Cersei withdrew her hand. She also said... Everyone said that you won't live long, so your thing is destined to grow up, and it doesn't matter if it is torn off."

After listening to Oberyn's story, Tyrion felt cold to the bone.

The wine made his anger more sensitive. Why did Prince Oberyn mock him many times? Did he think that the dwarfs of the Lannister family didn't have the roar of a lion?

My kind father... my dear sister... fuck Lannister!

Although Tyrion was furious, his remaining reason told him that there were also Jaime, Myrcella and Tommen, who were also Lannisters and could not do without the protection of Lannister.

Tyrion eased the fire in his heart with a big sip of wine, then he smiled and said, "Your Highness Martell, this is a great story. When you are free, you must tell my father. I promise that he will be as happy as I am after hearing it."

Prince Oberyn saw the changes in Tyrion's expression. He smiled apologetically before saying, "You make me feel very interesting, Lord Tyrion."

Tyrion deliberately stared at the direction of the door, paused, and said, "Why hasn't Green arrived yet? He is the real interesting person."

Prince Oberyn sneered and said, "Green Crabbe? He is indeed very interesting."

Although Tyrion's head was heavy because of drunkenness, he heard a certain contempt in Oberyn's words.

He looked at Prince Oberyn and said with a smile: "He will definitely not disappoint you."

"I hope so."

Prince Oberyn took a sip of the wine in the glass and changed the subject: "I heard that you taxed the women in King's Landing?"

Tyrion was stunned. He didn't want to be teased again because of the tax that the people of King's Landing jokingly called "dwarf copper coins".

So, he coughed lightly and said: "This is my father's order. He wants to improve the moral standards of the people of King's Landing."

He raised his glass and said: "Cheers, the eternal Prime Minister, Lord Tywin!"

To be honest, Tyrion felt... a little sorry for "betraying" Lord Tywin at this moment.

Prince Oberyn laughed: "I heard that you had to attract the dissatisfaction of the people of King's Landing to yourself in order to raise funds for Joffrey's wedding."

Tyrion's eyes trembled slightly, and he said in surprise: "How could there be such a rumor? If it weren't for the mountains of gold dragons in the royal treasury, I wouldn't be willing to sit in this broken chair of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and work hard on myself."

He grinned: "Joffrey's grandfather is Tywin Lannister, who is also Joffrey's Prime Minister."

Prince Oberyn smiled meaningfully, and then... he changed the subject again.

"Lord Tyrion, I heard that you prepared 77 dishes for the king's wedding?"

Not him, Tyrion said with a smile: "Your Highness, are you hungry?"

Prince Oberyn's smile faded, and he replied: "I have been hungry for a long time, but not for food. Please tell me, when can I see the justice promised by Lannister?"

"Justice..."

Tyrion couldn't help rubbing his heavy head. While thinking, he said: "I can hear that you have a good relationship with Elia."

Prince Oberyn nodded and said: "Elia and I have been together since childhood, inseparable, just like Jaime and Cersei."

Tyrion blinked, Jaime and Cersei... He actually wanted to tell Prince Oberyn that this metaphor was not appropriate.

Tyrion coughed lightly, put down his wine glass, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, my father is so busy with the war in the riverlands and the king's wedding that he has no time to take care of the terrible murder sixteen years ago. If there is any negligence, I apologize to you on his behalf. My father has made arrangements and will deal with it immediately when the time is right. At the same time, any contribution made by the Martel family to maintaining the peace of the kingdom will help increase my father's energy and speed in investigating the truth of the year. At the same time, I also promise that you will never return empty-handed on this trip to the king's land. May Lannister and Martell..."

"Dwarf!"

Prince Oberyn said coldly: "I have no interest in your Lannister investigation. Although my brother is not bloodthirsty, he has not just been sleeping for the past sixteen years. If it were up to me, I would only avenge Elia and her children! I am willing to come to King's Landing to find the mastermind behind the scenes."

Red Viper looked deep: "I tell you, it's best not to let me know that the man is your father."

Tyrion shrugged calmly. He knew that dealing with the hateful Prince Oberyn was definitely not a simple and easy task. Today, Cersei, who treated others as fools, should really come in person (Chapter 337).

Red Viper's threat continued: "Yes, this hatred is now in my hands. The Lannisters have to deal with the bloodthirsty me, not my sick, cautious, and aging brother."

Tyrion opened his eyes wide and tried his best to cheer up.

Prince Oberyn not only harbored hatred, but he was also very proud, even conceited.

If he continued to treat him politely, he would only be despised, and Lannister's weakness might be seen.

Tyrion smiled and said, "Prince Martell, from your tone, it seems that you have brought tens of thousands of soldiers to King's Landing."

He sipped his wine happily, and then said, "But my servant counted for me, and he told me that you brought only more than 200 soldiers... Well, I didn't count the women and servants."

He sighed and said, "I really should take you around King's Landing first, so that you can have a good look at the center of the Seven Kingdoms."

Prince Oberyn sneered and said, "Let me see this dung heap called King's Landing? I have seen it, and I can smell it."

Tyrion smiled with all his strength, "Your Highness, you should smell it carefully. You must know that the stench of 500,000 King's Landing people is definitely worse than that of hundreds of Dornishmen. The strength on the body. Do you smell the scent of the golden robes that everyone is wearing? There are about five thousand of them. ”

He spread his hands: "My father used 20,000 (actually more than 10,000) Lannister soldiers to guard the king's King's Landing. There are also two kinds of flowers here, tens of thousands (actually: more than 20,000 golden roses, more than 2,000 marigolds) sweet flowers with branches inserted in and outside the city of King's Landing. By the way, one of the flowers is not only the family of the future queen of the Seven Kingdoms, but also the old neighbor of the Martell family. ”

Prince Oberyn shrugged disdainfully: "There is a saying in Dorne—Flowers must bow to the sun, I am happy to crush them all."

Tyrion stared at the Red Viper quietly for a while, and then... he couldn't help but yawned for a long time.

He wiped a few tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand and said, "Crush them? Do you mean the roses that can easily mobilize 100,000 soldiers, or the marigolds that can defeat 50,000 heavy cavalry with 5,000 archers?"

Prince Oberyn stared at Tyrion like a venomous snake: "Has the Lannister forgotten how Renly's little rose died (Chapter 146)? Well, add Garlan Tyrell's arm (Chapter 149)."

Tyrion touched his golden nose, and he had to add his nose.

Prince Oberyn continued, "As for the Duke of Rose, he is just a fat fool holding a treasure chest for nothing."

He added, "It was the mud after the heavy rain that defeated the stupid Vale Knights and allowed Marigold to occupy the Vale by chance. He is just a lucky upstart."

He sneered contemptuously, "Besides, Crabbe is not necessarily a staunch ally of Lannister."

Tyrion couldn't help yawning again. He stared with his eyes wide open and said, "He loves Cersei... It's a love that I don't understand... A strange love..."

Tyrion's eyelids became heavier and heavier. He tried to open his eyes to wake up, but he was powerless.

Looking at Lannister who was half asleep, Prince Oberyn couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.

He left the recliner, stood in front of Tyrion, and whispered, "Tyrion, tell me about Green Crabbe..."

…………

It was already evening when Green had almost crossed half of King's Landing and approached the Sataya Branch.

From afar, the gilded spherical lantern decorated with crimson glass on the gate of the Shataya Women's Branch has been lit, emitting an alluring faint light.

Green made a detour and dismounted in front of a hidden small door at the back. The waiting Layton and Geoffrey (the captain of the Survey Corps of King's Landing) immediately came to greet him.

Green handed the reins to the attendant and said, "Layton, Geoffrey, I will tell you the information I found directly."

Leighton looked at Geoffrey, and he spoke first: "My lord, Tyrion Lannister brought four guards, and Oberyn Martell also brought four guards. They are all guarding outside the door of the room. Also, squire Podrick, Lord Tyrion found a room for him and arranged three beauties."

Geoffrey continued: "Lord Green, I found four Dornish guards watching here near the gate."

Green nodded slightly and said: "Very good, send someone to watch them."

Before opening the small door, Leighton whispered in Green's ear: "I have arranged it, my lord."

Green walked through the secret corridor into a small room and saw Shataya waiting for him.

She was wearing a loose white silk dress, and she bowed deeply to him: "Duke Green, thank you for your kindness and generosity."

[Lord Green is an honorary knight, so... Under his arrangement, Shataya became one of the heirs of Petyr Baelish's legacy, Chapter 254. 】

Green nodded gently and said, "Leyden told me that you could let me appear in Tyrion's room 'quietly'."

Shataya smiled slightly, her voice slightly accented by the Summer Islands: "In fact, each room here has another 'door', and my guests occasionally need to use it."

Green shrugged and said, "Thank you for your honesty. Please lead the way for me, Lady Shataya."

"It's my honor, my lord."

Shataya bowed lightly and turned around gracefully.

…………

Prince Oberyn was dozing on the recliner. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked sharply in one direction of the room.

"Don't you want to find a sword, Prince Oberyn Martell?"

Green patted his clothes and walked slowly from behind the ornate Myr screen.

Prince Oberyn's eyes narrowed slightly: "You are... Glyn Crab?"

Glyn walked closer: "Good night, thank you for your invitation, Lord Martell."

Glyn paused in front of the recliner where Tyrion was sitting, first looked at Tyrion who was in deep sleep, and then glanced at the strange golden weapon on his waist.

Prince Oberyn leaned back on the recliner again, looked at Green who suddenly appeared, pointed to the direction of the room door, and said: "Lord Crab, the invited guests can go there, which can avoid unnecessary trouble."

After that, he placed the sword next to the back of the chair at an angle where Green could not see.

Green looked at Prince Oberyn, smiled, and said, "I think... if there is a rumor tomorrow that the Duke of the Eyrie and the Prince of Dorne are playing together in the women's branch, it will be more troublesome."

Tyrion's short legs took up less than half of the space of the recliner. Green sat on the other side and continued, "There is also a royal treasurer, Prince Martell."

Prince Oberyn stretched his arms and said, "You are very different from what I imagined..., Duke Crabbe."

He didn't mean his appearance. He guessed that Green should be like a beast ready to fight at any time, not... The young man sitting in front of him looked very gentle and felt too harmless.

"I heard that this sword was stained with Martell's blood, Prince Oberyn."

After speaking, Green untied the "Lady of Loneliness" from his waist and threw it over.
