Chapter 0115: The Truth
Duke Tywin has been to Winterfell in the North, and has seen the remnants of Winterfell's Tower.
The remnant tower is a watchtower built by the Stark ancestors, and is the highest place in Winterfell. Later, it was struck by lightning, causing a fire, the top of the tower collapsed inward, and the upper half of the tower was burned black by the fire. Since then, no one has ever climbed the watchtower, and it is the remnant of the Stark family today.
Why did the wolf climb the remnant tower?
Tywin didn't know.
Why is the lion in the remnant? Which lion is in the remnant? Jaime, Tyrion, Cersei?
Duke Tywin didn't know either.
Since the lion pushed down the little wolf, this is murder, then, what did the little wolf see about the lion, causing the lion to have to kill the little wolf?
Duke Tywin didn't know even more.
He's not a prophet, not an alien, not a wizard.
He couldn't see the truth in other planes.
Duke Tywin decides to turn to the Witch Queen for help.
Stark in the North is not easy to mess with, and he is also married to the Riverland Tully family in the east of the West, and in the event of a war, Riverrun will join the North 100%. And the valley in the easternmost part of the Arryn family is also the son-in-law of the Tully family in Riverrun, and the northern border is a close relationship, the war broke out, the three places joined forces, and the western border became a situation of one dozen three.
Although the king is the son-in-law of the West, the king and Stark in the north grew up and have a relationship more than brothers, as can be seen from the fact that the king is thousands of miles away to ask Stark to be the prime minister of the kingdom instead of asking his father-in-law Tywin, the king is more willing to trust and support the Stark family.
The situation is very unfavorable to the western border.
Because of the politics of marriage, the domains of the three great nobles of the three dukes of the North, the Riverlands and the Valles became a family.
Catelyn Tully, the wife of Eddard Stark, Duke of the North, was the eldest daughter of Horst Tully, Duke of Riverrun, and the second daughter of Duke Horst Tully, and the Lady of Duke Arryn of the Vale. Duke Jon Arryn of Vale, who was Prime Minister of the Royal Palace, has suddenly died, and the real ruler of Vale is Catelyn's own sister, Lysa Tully.
In the event of a war between the northern and western borders, a one-on-three situation will be formed.
And the West has no allies.
If the King's Storm's Rest doesn't want to help, the only countries in the west can ally with the Riverlands in the south and the Iron Islands in the sea. The southernmost part of Dorne is also a potential enemy of the West: sixteen years ago, Duke Tywin of the Westside ordered the Magic Mountain to rape and murder Princess Elia Martell of Dorne's princess in the nursery of the Red Keep in King's Landing. This is a blood feud that has not yet been settled.
After careful weighing, Duke Tywin confirmed that this war could not happen.
At least there can be no full-scale war.
Why did the lion push the wolf cub off the remnant tower?
Duke Tywin needs to know the situation.
From Count Tiger's letter combined with Witch's prophecy, it can be seen that the lion did push the wolf cub off the remnant tower, but no one in Winterfell knew about it. This is also the fundamental reason why the lion can still be safely a guest in Winterfell in the North, and if future wars are caused by this, it means that the truth of the matter will eventually be known by the Stark family.
How to know?
The biggest possibility is that the unconscious little wolf woke up and told the truth, so the contradiction arose and the war broke out.
Tywin couldn't calm down anymore.
Luckily, Sir Gregor had a grandmother, the Witch, who lived in the sanctum built by Gregor, and was able to see the fragments of time and space and told him a prophecy worth a thousand dollars.
For a war that is bound to break out, of course, whoever prepares first and foresees the future trend first will be the victor.
Now that Duke Tywin has received the news first because of the witch's prophecy, he will definitely prepare for war first and take the lead.
Militarily, Tywin looked down on Duke Eddard Stark in the North.
Ed's other wolves, the oldest of whom was less than sixteen years old, were children who didn't understand anything.
Now the only question is the attitude of the king.
If war is inevitable, what will be the attitude of the king?
Tywin couldn't predict.
But it didn't matter, for Sir Gregor had a wizarding grandmother, a true wizard with the ability to predict and her prophetic abilities had been tested for the first time.
*
"This is the reward of the first prophecy, three hundred golden dragons. Tywin said.
The accompanying supervisor, Yarman, took out three bags and shook them, and there was a sound of gold coins rattling. Yarman, the treasurer of Duke Tywin, placed three hundred golden dragons in front of Witch Queen.
Wu Ji's face was expressionless, without sorrow or joy.
Janie, an assistant beside her, took three bags of gold coins for Wu Ji.
The heavy golden dragon is heavy to start.
"The second prophecy, I still need to verify. The Duke said.
The witch queen was silent.
"Witch Queen, I am desperate to know something. The Duke motioned, and the entourage took out three more bags of golden dragons and placed them in front of Wu Ji.
Wu Ji shook her head: "Duke Tywin, after capturing Lord Petyr, everything will be clear as soon as you ask, there is no need to spend money to ask me." ”
The Duke pondered for a moment and said, "Please Lord Petyr will have to wait for a month, I can't wait." ”
If war is destined to break out, then time is the most important military resource. A lot of things have to be well prepared in advance. Before making preparations, it is necessary to know the causes, causes and consequences of war.
Yarman pushed the purse closer to the witch.
"Well, Lord Duke, if you want to ask me something, I will tell you. ”
"Who pushed Bran Stark off the wrecked tower?"
The witch queen was silent.
Sir Gregor did not explain this to her. Gregor only told her that the little wolf was pushed off the wreckage tower by a lion, broke his legs, and could no longer stand.
"I can't answer that question for you. Wu Ji said lightly.
Duke Tywin was immediately disappointed.
Witch Queen was reluctant to answer.
Is it to threaten her to speak out, or to respect the witch?
Tywin chose the latter.
Because of the disrespect for the Witch, the Witch Queen will make a slight change in the key prophecy in the future, which will have immeasurable consequences for the plan made by Duke Tywin based on the prophecy.
"I have to pray first, and if God tells me to say it, I'll tell you. Come back tomorrow morning, Duke!"
"Yes, Witch Queen!" Tywin was still majestic, but his tone was respectful.
Yarman reached for the gold coin bag, but was stopped by Duke Tywin: "Sir Yarman, put it down." ”
He must know the answer!
The money is paid first.
"Father......" said Jenny, picking up the coin bag to give it back to Sir Arman, Duke Tywin, and Jane stopped.
The next day, Tywin arrived early in the morning.
This time, there is no assistant Jenny in Witch's room.
"Lord Duke, please let the Bachelor, Count Cayvon, Sir Arman, and your centurion guards out!"
Duke Tywin glanced back at the people around him, and everyone left. Collegiate Sport walked to the end, and he closed the door softly.
"This matter is serious, Lord Duke, you have to guarantee in the honor of the Seven Gods and the Lannister that you will not cut off my head, so that I dare to tell you the truth of the matter. Wu Ji said as she stared at the Duke.
There was a mysterious and terrifying look in the witch's eyes.
