Castle Rock City. Lannister Main Castle. Restaurant.

The meat, vegetables, and bacon soup on the table had been removed, leaving only the fruits of the mix.

"What do you need to raise a bird?" Lord Tywin looked at Kevon with blazing eyes.

"Water and millet. "Kaivon knew that his brother had summoned him back, and he must have something to do.

In front of Kai Feng was placed a small fine wooden box, inside which was a pair of chopsticks wrapped in fine silk, tied with red silk thread in the middle.

This is a pair of chopsticks that Kaivon has not yet learned to use, but it is very precious, and because it is precious, it is noble.

"What about raising wolves?"

"Give it meat. ”

This is not the first time this has been the case.

But Tywin would repeat, and Kevon would answer seriously. Tywin wanted his most loyal and valued brother to remember these simple truths.

The most effective way to control complex people and things is the simplest method and the simplest truth.

"What about bad dogs?"

"Give him bones. ”

"Yes, so for the person who is of great use to you, as long as you give him what he wants, he will be used for you and faithful. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"What does Sandor Clegane the Hound need most?"

"Honor, my lord. ”

"So I gave him the chance to be Cersei's personal guard in the palace. The Queen's Knight, with the exception of the Kingsguard, has no more glorious name. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"What do you think of the changes in Gregor Clegane?"

"Worried, sir. ”

"Worried about what?"

"Vicious dogs cannot have human intelligence. ”

Tywin was iron-clad, and he never smiled even though it was just him and his eldest brother together. There is no human warmth in him. He's hard-hearted.

"Does the Vicious Dog have wisdom and learning, and can surpass the scholars in the school town of Old Town?"

"No way!"

"Will the light of the seven gods bless a man forever? ”

"No, sir. But the evil dog has intelligence, and it is always unsettling. ”

"What do you want to do?"

"I don't know. ”

"It's not scary for the vicious dog to become a little smarter, as long as he's as obedient as he was before. ”

"I'm afraid that the dog will become a wolf. ”

"It's peacetime, and a dog can never turn into a wolf. Even if he accidentally grows into a wolf, he is a wolf that bites others, and the Lannister is an eternal lion. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Give this vicious dog what he wants, and he will always be your dog. ”

"Remember, sir. ”

"It is indeed dangerous for a vicious dog to become a wolf, but the real danger is the loss of loyalty. It doesn't matter if your subordinates are rats, cats, dogs, wolves, or anything else, loyalty always comes first. Once you doubt his loyalty, there's no need to take the time to find out if you're wrong. It is better to kill the wrong than to let it go. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

In fact, Gregor's current strength is pitifully small, and it is not worth Tywin and Kaivon's serious discussion at all, but this is Tywin's 'private' style, and it is also the rule-like habit that Tywin has developed since he took charge of the Western Frontier at the age of nineteen.

Anyone who has an 'abnormal' person, thing, or thing in the West, no matter how big or small, the two brothers will 'look ahead' about the possibility of the future behind closed doors, and clarify how to deal with the deterioration.

When Jenny Westerling and Gregor Clegane walked into the reception hall together, the eyes of all the servants, family soldiers, legionnaires, knights, knights, knights, and so on lit up.

Even next to Gregor's huge size, Jenny's beauty and brilliance still attracted everyone's attention.

Count Gavin's presence was completely obscured by Jenny and Gregor, and no one noticed him in noble clothes, even though he walked into the hall with Jenny and Gregor. He was standing beside Janie, who was still holding Count Gavin's arm.

Tywin sat upright in a chair covered with lion's fur, he sat straight, his face like an iron plate, and he was not angry. He had a golden beard, a bright bald head, and a noble dress woven with gold threads, and the ornaments on his boots were also made of gold threads.

There is a popular saying that the garbage that Duke Tywin pulls out when he goes to the toilet is gold.

It's just that Sir Tywin, who jokingly uttered this popular phrase in front of Tywin, is still locked up in the underground black prison of Castle Rock City, and he will never see the sun in the sky again in his life.

Sir Kevon stood on either side of Tywin's chair.

There were many knights and knights in the hall, but none of them sat down.

Tywin sits, and everyone else has to stand.

"Count Gavin!" Tywin said.

"Yes, sir. ”

Count Gavin hurriedly trotted forward and knelt down on one knee to salute the vassal.

Jenny also stepped forward, kneeling down on one knee beside her father in full view of everyone.

Tywin remained motionless, accepting Gavin and Janie's salutes.

The unsmiling Tywin made everyone feel depressed.

Gregor stood to Tywin's right hand with his sword.

"It's been a good ride, Count Gavin. ”

"It's going well, Lord Duke. ”

This concludes the conversation between Duke Tywin and Earl Gavin.

"Janie, you're so beautiful. ”

"Thank you, sir, for the compliment. Jenny bowed her head slightly, smiled, and curtsied her knees slightly.

"Bachelor, tomorrow I will release ravens to declare the whole West, and I will take Janine Westerling as my adopted daughter, and order the nobles to rush to Castle Rock within three days. To celebrate, the city of Castle Rock celebrated for three days, and after three days, all the nobles of the West, Sirs, came to the Seven Sacred Churches to anoint the holy oil and participate in my adoption ceremony. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Count Gavin was incredulous, and his face turned red with excitement.

He knew that the congratulatory gifts from the nobles of the Western Realms alone would be enough to make the Westerling family have a bumper harvest, and there was no need to sell the family's land to the Earl of Malbran.

Earl Gavin never imagined that Duke Tywin would attach so much importance to taking Janine as his adopted daughter, which was a powerful signal to the rise of the Westerling family and the highest glory for the family.

Jenny Westerling couldn't hide her surprise.

The people in the hall couldn't believe it either, Tywin had just adopted an adopted daughter, and there was no need to alarm the entire Westside. This is unconscionable and unreasonable.

Jenny and her family, in the West, are not yet so important.

Gregor knew that Duke Tywin was going to do a few big things: salt, chopsticks, and a military sentry.

Gregor looked at Kaivon and the scholar, and saw that they were calm and unsurprised.

He knew he had guessed it!

Tywin's adopted daughter summoned all her vassals to celebrate what was a real sensation in the West, and there were many people in the hall, but no one cheered, no one complimented, and there was no applause.

Just because Tywin doesn't like these moves.

The huge hall is very quiet. If someone is outside the door of the hall, they will think that there is no one in the hall at all.

Tywin looked at Gregor.

He made a bet with Gregor that if Gregor could get Jane to accept the gift from Gregor, he would help to bring about Jenny and Gregor's marriage. Of course, there was a precondition that Gregor could not force Jenny to accept his gift.

What to buy is a problem? How to give it is a problem? How to make Jenny happy to accept it is a problem? It's not easy at all, in fact, with Gregor's notoriety, it's hard to give a gift.

Tywin wanted to see if Gregor was good after he got his head up. Whether it is small wisdom or great wisdom, it is all a plan.

A brave general is just a martial artist, and a brave and resourceful general is a general.

Tywin hopes that Gregor will become a warrior under the blessing of the Seven Gods.

Gregor said, "Lord Tywin, Miss Jenny has taken all of my gifts very fondly. ”

"How did you deliver it?".

"Ten miles north of the official road, we were greeted by Count Gavin and Miss Jane. I asked my youngest daughter, Julie, to freshen up Miss Jenny, and then put on makeup for Miss Jenny in the carriage, and after the makeup was finished, the little girl Julie asked Miss Jenny to accept the silver mirror, rouge, incense powder, and pencils, and Miss Jenny accepted the gift with joy!"

"Janie, is that so?"

“...... Yes, Lord Duke......" Jenny smiled, her demeanor graceful, and her mouth filled with bitterness.
