Chapter 0476: The Queen's Dispute

"Lord Magic Mountain, how can you help me fight back?" asked Edmure Tully.

"I am the Minister of War, Lord Edmure. ”

"You're just Joffrey Baratheon's War Minister. Edmure Tully said coldly.

"That's enough. ”

"Are you asking me to surrender?"

"I can order Randolph Tali to suspend the assault on your vassals, and then we will negotiate peace. ”

"Lord Magic Mountain, the Tully family has sworn allegiance to the King of the North, and we will no longer be King of House Baratheon, nor will we be King of the Lannisters. Blackfish said coldly.

"Not necessarily. "Demon Mountain Road," Aegon landed on the continent of Westeros three hundred years ago, and the king of the north bent his knees. The House of Dornemartell has always considered themselves princes, which does not prevent him from swearing allegiance to the Iron Throne. ”

"You want the Tully family to betray the King of the North?"

"There is always only one option between destruction and survival, Lord Brynden. β€œ

"Are you threatening me?"

"I'll tell you the truth, I want to help the Tully family. ”

"We will not accept the help of 'surrender'. ”

"Alright, my lordβ€”β€” Elenia, do you want to go back with me, or stay in Riverrun?"

"I want to be with Edmure until the very end. ”

"You don't regret it?"

Elenia glanced at Edmure: "I don't regret it. ”

The little girl is bent on marrying into a higher family, even if the family is in a difficult situation. This is also another successful proof of the mother Hibbel Spicer's education that her daughter must climb high. From the time the young girl was just sensible, Hibert Spaiser was carefully educated to 'marry' the great nobles.

It was the young girl's firm aim to marry at least one earl, and Edmure Tully was a duke, and there was no higher title than that.

Elenia is very pragmatic, she is a copy of her mother Hilber Spicer, but the age of the little girls in this world is still too young! Of course, they are also married at a very young age: about thirteen years old, as long as they have menstruation, they can get married.

The Magic Mountain led the legion, escorting 6,000 people, across the Red Fork River, all the way west. It will take another month to reach Tabek Hall and Casterme in the West.

The riverside road is well built, but for walking, it takes a long time to travel thousands of miles.

During the march to the Magic Mountain, the New Year's wedding for the King and Miss Margaery had begun to be vigorously prepared at the Red Keep in King's Landing, and the whole King's Landing felt this festive atmosphere.

The Lannisters were not liked, Jaime the Kingkiller never had a good reputation, Tyrion the Betrayer followed, Cersei the Incest was the most unpopular, and Tywin the Slayer died but the shame never left him.

Fortunately, Joffrey's surname was Baratheon, and although there was a scandal about the secret of his origins, the king's bride, Margaery Tyrell, won the hearts of the people, and her reputation grew day by day, and she soon became the future 'wise queen' in the eyes of the people.

*

Beneath the Rhaenys Hills of King's Landing, there is an orphanage.

This orphanage was the training institution and habitat of the former intelligence secretary Varys' Little Bird, and is now the base camp of Little Bird taken over and run by Ventriloqui Bernie of Magic Mountain.

Early in the morning, there was a lot of noise outside the orphanage, and there were also cheers from the residential buildings, and people were cheering for Miss Margaery's name, just as people cheered for the king's name on the king's naming day.

The accompanying members of the garrison were accustomed to it, and the Tyrells' own guards were not surprised.

Such a courtesy, Queen Cersei had never received.

Miss Margaery Tyrell walked down the filthy alley in a floor-sweeping silk dress, the hem of the expensive dress worth more than a dozen golden dragons stained with filth, but Miss Margaery Tyrell didn't care, she wore it only once, and threw it away when she returned.

Margaery Tyrell enters the orphanage's doors. Her entourage of more than a dozen maids remained outside the gate.

The compound of the orphanage was crowded with children.

Since the Battle of the Blackwater River, the number of orphans in the orphanage has doubled, and it is overcrowded.

Bernie, the boss behind the scenes, feels a lot of pressure, but luckily the arriving Tyrells bring the food needed by the entire city, while Miss Margaery Tyrell comes to the orphanage and declares that she will be in charge of the food and clothing of all the children in the orphanage, which solves the problem for ventriloquist Bernie.

Lady Margaery was followed to the orphanage today by a white-robed Kingsguard: Jaime Lannister.

She was sent to Margaret by Queen Cersei, who thought it was necessary for Jaime to feel Margaery Tyrrell's prestige in King's Landing, as she thought it was important.

Cersei felt that Margaery Tyrell's control over the king and the accumulation of Margaery's own prestige had begun before she married Joffrey Baratheon, which was not a good sign, and made Cersei feel threatened like never before.

Jaime doesn't care about the threat Cersei says, he cares more about the relationship between Captain Osney Kate Black and Cersei.

*

Margaery Tyrelll's arrival brightens up the orphanage's compound. The children surrounded her like stars arching over the moon.

At Margaery's signal, the two guards brought in a huge box, which was pulled by a special carriage, and Jaime had no idea what it contained.

Jaime didn't care about all this.

After experiencing the brutal environment of the Wall of Desperation and the horror of ghouls, strangers, and wildlings, Jaime is indifferent to much of what is happening in King's Landing, and what he may really care about is Cersei.

*

The boxes were opened, and the children let out deafening cheers, and Mademoiselle Margaery brought them wooden carved toys, which were numerous: warriors, swords, horses, spears, and archers......

Half of the orphans' fathers died on the banks of the Blackwater River, and Margaery told the children that the wooden carvings were the children's fathers, and that they were true warriors.

When Margaery asked the child's father's name, the boy told her, and she asked her maid to bring her a carving knife and carved the child's father's name on the wooden carving of the sword's and shieldman's hand.

The father of a child was an archer, and he got a carving of an archer...... Eventually, Margaery reluctantly leaves amid the hymns sung by the children in unison, much to Jaime's boredom.

Miss Margaery is deliberately close to the people!

Coming out of the orphanage, Jaime once again accompanied Miss Margaery Tyrell to the refugee settlement in Shoemaker's Square, and before she could reach the refugee settlement, Jaime heard cheers coming from the square, and the people welcomed her like a king, which only King Robert had ever treated in Jaime's memory.

Margaery Tyrell was welcomed by the people, and as they walked down the street, the residents of King's Landing shouted Margaery's name, and they saluted Miss Margaery Tyrell from the windows, on the rooftops, on the street, and in front of the shops.

Jaime changed his mind, believing that Cersei's worries weren't entirely caused by jealousy, and that Margaery Tyrell was indeed trying to buy people's hearts.

Night. Meggor House. The Queen Mother's bedroom.

Since Jaime came back and put on the white robe again, he has been very kindly arranged by the captain of the guard to protect Her Majesty the Queen Mother.

"What did you see today, Margaery Tyrell's watch?" Cersei said bitterly.

"I saw it, but there's nothing wrong with her doing it. She was loved by her people, and she was the future queen, which led to the reign of His Majesty Joffrey. ”

"She wants to rule herself, not Joffrey. ”

"She's the queen, Joffrey is the king, you don't have to worry too much. ”

"No, I must not allow her to do that. ”

Jaime looked at Cersei's distorted face: "Cersei, maybe we should make peace with the North first, I've seen ghouls with my own eyes, blue eyes, no matter how you kill, you can't kill them, you can only burn them with fire." I have also seen wild people going south, so great that I can't see the beginning and the end, and I don't know how many there are. I've seen ...... before."

"Whether it's ghouls, strangers, or wildlings, shouldn't they be the Northerners who went extinct first? What are you worried about? Eddard Stark and Robb Stark aren't dead yet! You've forgotten all the days they imprisoned you?"

"It was war, I was defeated and caught, I have nothing to say. ”

"Now it's also war. In this Red Keep, our enemies are Tyrell, who wants to control Joffrey, and then the power of the entire kingdom, and our enemies are Martell, whose princess Messira has become hostage, and we have to find a way to save Messira, who is an innocent angel. Inside the Red Fort, there is also war. ”

Jaime sighed, "Okay, so what are you going to do with Margaery Tyrrell?"

"Let Osney Kate Black seduce her, and then deliver her to the bishop of Baylor Grand Sanctuary for trial. ”

"She's Joffrey's fiancΓ©e!" Jaime said, standing up, "You can't do that, Cersei!"

Cersei was unmoved: "I've also heard that Margaery sleeps with her handmaidens every night, and it's likely that she, like the Knight of the Hundred Flowers, likes the same sex. Jaime, you'll have to find out which maids she's slept with. β€œ

"She's still a virgin. Jaime said in a deep voice.

"Not necessarily, even if she is indeed a virgin, it does not mean that she has no out-of-character behavior, and when she is married, I will have in my hands the evidence of her scandal. ”

"Are you trying to ruin her?"

"If she is obedient, I will not publicize her scandal. ”

"Stop, Cersei, King's Landing can't do without the food of the Tyrells. β€œ

Cersei didn't seem to hear at all: "Jaime, Captain Osney is very loyal, I will send him to get close to Margaery, so that he and Margaery can maintain a long-term intimate relationship." I'll also find out which maids she slept with at night, did you help me or didn't help me?"

Jaime was filled with disappointment in his heart.

He stood up, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, it's time for me to stand guard!" He put on his clothes, put on his armor, tied his sword belt, tied his white robe, and walked out of the Queen Mother's bedroom without looking back.
