Chapter 537: Dignity and Destruction
The guards retreated tremblingly, but before leaving, they left the key to the prison door, and the two guards who followed Li Lingyi also left.
"Bang dang. ”
The cell door was opened, and Li Lingyi slowly stepped in, and there were only two people left in the dark and narrow space.
Margaery glanced outside, then at Li Lingyi, a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes, and a charming smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She walked over, raised her arm and put it on Li Lingyi's shoulder, and opened her red lips, "My lord, are you going to punish me personally?"
Li Lingyi looked down at the beautiful face that was close at hand, he raised his hand and pinched the woman's chin, his eyes were indifferent, "Do you know, you have a rotten smell on your body." ”
Margaery's face changed instantly, she took two steps back slightly, her thin lips pursed, and there was obvious anger in her eyes, "This is naturally because of my lord!
She gritted her silver teeth when she spoke, with her hands on her waist, without a trace of the appearance of a noble lady, but she revealed a trace of the frankness and naturalness of the girl next door, and spoke in a tone like a young wife who had just married and was chattering to her useless husband.
It's really a great acting.
Li Ling thought to himself, from the charm before, to the current straightforwardness, and even the pity in his eyes, everything was so real. It's so real that you can't help but want to hug her gently, comfort her, and tell her that everything will be okay.
Or humiliate her, tease her, ravage her in this dark dungeon, and enjoy the strange pleasure of despair.
But it's a pity that Li Lingyi doesn't belong to any of them, he just keeps calm and indifferent, and speaks straight to the heart, "This is not a stage, there is no need to perform, Miss Margaery Tyrell." ”
“……”
The girl's pretty face stiffened slightly, and her red lips pulled unnaturally, "You... What do you say?"
"Please don't waste my time. Li Lingyi said, "If you want to continue to maintain your acting skills, then I think you will have the rest of your life to perform." It's just a pity that the audience only has the walls of this dungeon. ”
Margaery stopped talking, and her eyes and expression became cold.
"Your family is on the wrong team, the chips are on the wrong answer, and now if you lose, you will naturally have to pay the price. ”
As soon as Li Ling said, he walked outside and took a chair and sat down, raised his left leg and folded it on his right leg, leaned on the backrest, and looked at the woman, "What kind of price do you think can offset the anger of Wuqi and exchange for a noble lady." ”
"......" Margaery was silent for a long time, revealing a cold smile, she looked at Li Lingyi, it should be said that she was looking, "Sure enough, the legendary Ivy Crane is different from ordinary people. No wonder...... You're going to win. ”
"It's a waste of time to compliment. ”
“……”
Margaery gritted her teeth, she was only now showing her true self, shrewdness flashing from her eyes, "I think my grandmother has already come up with a compensation plan." ”
Her grandmother is Olenna Redwin, the Queen of Thorns who is now in the High Court, and she has said before that she is willing to pay war reparations to the Flagless Family.
"Yes, but she didn't give enough. Li Lingyi said, "And your grandmother, like you, is extremely smart, and this reparation can be earned back soon by her means." ”
"And what do you want?" asked Margaery, "and why do you want me, and not my grandmother?"
Li Lingyi was silent for a while, and waited until the girl was about to be unbearable before finally speaking, "Your grandmother...... It's old. ”
Margaery's face turned pale in an instant.
She staggered back two steps and said in disbelief, "Do you want to ...... Let me kill my grandmother?!
She was extremely angry, and her voice was sharp and harsh, which made Li Lingyi frown slightly, "I didn't say that. ”
Margaery was stunned, "Then what do you mean?"
In her opinion, the words "very old" are undoubtedly equivalent to "damn it".
"Don't you feel it, your grandmother has been paving the way for you. Li Lingyi spread his hands, "What a great love, but unfortunately, her plan has been shattered, and you can't get the status above those ten thousand people." ”
At the same time, she was dying. Whether you want to admit it or not, she's getting to that point. Maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, there's no big difference. ”
"What the hell are you trying to say!" Margaery asked, unable to take it any longer.
"Loyalty, loyalty is what I want. Li Lingyi said, "You are very smart and very good at winning people's hearts." The future is yours, Gao Ting. Therefore, for this future master, her loyalty is especially important to me. ”
"You want me to pledge allegiance to you. Margaery understood, but the next moment there was a misery on her face, "You want me to make a ...... Puppet. ”
"Yes. Li Lingyi admitted without scruples, "According to the relationship between your family and Lannister, there was originally only one way to be crusaded. But I don't want innocent soldiers to continue to pay for blood, so I'm giving you this choice. ”
"Then tell me, are you willing to be this puppet?" Li Lingyi's words were like a blade cutting into Margaery's body, "You are still an unyielding existence in front of the people, but in the shadows, you are just a puppet. ”
"It's like I'm loyal, I can't, I'm sorry, House Tyrrell...... You don't have to exist in this world anymore. ”
Margaery stood still, but felt like she was standing on a suspended canoe.
On the left is the abyss, and on the right is the abyss.
The left is called dignity, and the right is called destruction.
She made a choice, lifted her shirt lightly, walked in front of Li Lingyi, Ying Ying knelt on the ground, lowered her head, raised her hand, palm up.
This is a rather classical form of allegiance, but it is also an extremely solemn one, Li Lingyi stood up and reached out and pressed it on Margaery's palm.
"I, Margaery Tyrell. Contribute my loyalty, my faith, my everything to Evie Crane. In the years of my life or death, I will always be loyal to Ivy Crane. If I disobey, I will fall into the abyss forever and bear eternal damnation. ”
Cold and warm came at the same time, Margaery finished speaking a little mechanically, only to feel that she had lost something, Rao was that she could tell all kinds of lies without changing her face, but in this solemn sense of ceremony, all she could feel was powerlessness and the endless grievances it brought.
"That's how the world works, miss. He pulled the girl up and looked into her reddened eyes.
Margaery was silent, she stared at Li Lingyi's face, eyes, trying to see something from them, but there was a deep darkness in those eyes, she only felt endless depth and fear, she avoided her gaze.
"Let's go. ”
Li Lingyi pulled her out of the cell, "From today onwards, you are a guest of the Wuqi family, and guests will be well entertained." ”
