"It's just a marriage, and there are no other strings attached?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He didn't expect the so-called "guarantee" to be so simple, and he didn't understand where the other party got the confidence to think that he would be bound to the Tyrells by virtue of a young and beautiful girl.

You must know that he does not have the general thinking and consciousness of the residents of Westeros who fought hard for their family, and even sacrificed their precious lives.

On the contrary, he is just a passerby in this world, a person destined to leave, so there is not even the slightest sense of belonging, whether it is marriage or children, it cannot reverse the final result, and naturally there is no emotion or responsibility.

When the situation called for it, he would not hesitate to abandon Ai Luo, who was seen as a tool to seize power, and instead marry another woman he did not know.

Marriages like this between nobles and nobles are more of a transaction than marriages, and the relationship of interests is the main part, and the emotional factors of the parties are often the least to consider.

Olenna Redwin, who is proficient in scheming, is undoubtedly very aware of this, purses the corners of her wrinkled mouth, and responds with a smile: "Yes, there is only marriage, no other conditions attached. In addition, I, Lord Tywin, and His Majesty the King, would like to see the dragon with our own eyes so that we can have an accurate ...... of it."

"Wait!"

Before the "Queen of Thorns" could finish speaking, Joffrey, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted her.

"Your Majesty, do you have any opinion on the outcome of the discussions at the Imperial Council?" Olenna Redwin asked kindly, and glanced at Cersei next to her quietly, her eyes full of contempt and contempt, as if mocking the other party for not being able to control her own son.

Cersei, who has always had a tough personality, would certainly not tolerate such a provocation, but before she could respond, Joffrey got up first, walked straight to Zhang Cheng, gently stroked the black ring on his finger, and slowly spoke after a minute: "Mason, my friend, I care more about the power you have than the dragon. Remember the fire spell you taught me before you left King's Landing, and now I'm free to wield it! and use it to punish servants who ignore the king's majesty. ”

The words just fell!

Suddenly, without warning, Joffrey raised his right hand and pointed it at an empty chair not far away, chanting aloud a incantation that no one else understood.

Next Second......

The black ring suddenly glowed with a scorching fire, followed by a bright flame that burned the hardwood chair to blackened char in a matter of seconds.

Obviously, judging from his skillful movements and casting speed, his understanding of fire magic has reached a considerable level, and if he can learn further, it will not be difficult to become a mage apprentice who specializes in fire.

Perhaps, as the joke mentioned, when fate closes a door for you, it will also open a window for you.

Although Joffrey's personality is both morbid and extreme, and sometimes he can't even suppress his excitement, this personality inadvertently fits the fierce and uncontrollable nature of the flames.

But Zhang Cheng noticed that at the moment when His Majesty the King unleashed the fire spell, everyone, including Cersei and Tywin, had a hard time looking at the extreme.

It doesn't take to know that as Joffrey has mastered the power of fire magic, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep him under control and treat him like a puppet in name only.

Maybe some people are still afraid that the scorching flame will suddenly fall on them one day.

After all, Joffrey has shown an unstable mental state many times, and it is even more common to kill servants who inadvertently provoke him, and God knows when he will suddenly go crazy.

"Wonderful Fire Spell! Your Majesty, you are truly a true genius, you must know that normally an apprentice needs at least one to two years to learn from being exposed to the same level of fire, but it only took you less than two months. Zhang Cheng deliberately ignored the faces of the others, and did not hesitate to praise at all.

To be exact, he was indeed very surprised by the talent of the other party, knowing that the world of A Song of Ice and Fire was currently the best among the young people in front of him, except for Daenerys, who had Valyrian blood.

If not without evidence, he wondered if Tywin's wife, Joanna, had something unspeakable with the mad king Aerys, and Cersei and Jaime were the descendants of both of them.

"Really, do you think so?" said Joffrey's eyes widened in surprise.

Zhang Cheng nodded thoughtlessly: "Yes, Your Majesty, if you want, we can move on to the next stage of study at any time." ”

"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get started! Come, go to my room. Plus, I have a little gift for you, I'm sure you'll love it. With that, Joffrey couldn't wait to walk towards the door.

"As you wish, my majesty. Zhang Cheng touched his chest with one hand and bowed, while sweeping his slightly sadistic gaze over everyone sitting around the long table.

He knew very well that the power of the capital of the Seven Kingdoms was in the hands of two families, the Lannisters, who won the War of the Five Kings by virtue of both military and diplomatic skills, and the Tyrells, who had gained great political influence by re-arming them.

Although on the surface, the two families have formed an unbreakable alliance, but the secret confrontation has never stopped, and Sansa's marriage to the little devil is the result of the game between the two sides.

Fortunately, both Tywin, the leader of the Lannisters, and Olenna Redwin, the leader of the Tyrells, understood what it meant to be fit and politically compromised, and were careful not to escalate the conflict.

In the course of the confrontation, both sides are constantly filling the power vacuum left by the end of the war, and now there is no surplus for outsiders.

They are now very worried that if Joffrey, the titular king, also starts to join the game for power, it will make the situation more tense and chaotic, and they also fear that their interests will be seriously damaged.

Under the feudal system, no nobleman would like a strong king, and no nobleman would like to always have a sharp sword hanging above his head, and this sword is the fire magic that Zhang Cheng is teaching to Joffrey.

Seeing the two of them disappear into the hallway, Tywin immediately tapped lightly on the table, "I'm sure you've seen it, this Mason is more difficult to deal with than we thought, what do you think we should do next?"

"Either way, we have to stop teaching magic to Joffrey, a powerful and unfettered king, that's not what we want. Mace, Duke of High Court, made his attitude clear.

"That's right! Joffrey must not be allowed to continue to get out of control! He has burned twelve servants to death this month! If he continues, he will become the second mad king sooner or later. Olenna Redwin echoed categorically.

"Perhaps...... In this way, he is pressuring us for a better condition. Father, I think you can let Tyrion talk about his tone. Also, I don't think people like him would be bound by marriage. Cersei lowered her voice and made a suggestion.

"Alright, that's all for today's Imperial Council, let's figure out what Mason wants. Also, give this information to Tyrion so that he can see what kind of person his so-called friend is. With that, Tywin pushed the note forward from his hand.

I saw a detailed record of the battle that took place in the alley yesterday, and the truth about the mysterious deaths of thousands of civilians......
