Chapter 104: Fighting a Blind Date is Not Wrong

Iger had failed in his routine, and all the drama and tongue had been in vain, but Margaery was still able to maintain self-cultivation instead of being angry, and for that alone, the girl was somehow higher than Cersei's.

The cliché didn't work, she didn't change her face, she still continued to chat with Egger softly, and tried again, and found that Egger didn't get in the oil and salt, so she decisively decided to put this matter aside for a while - instead of making money, she came north with the army on this trip, but there was a more important task to complete.

"Since Master Iger says so, then when this battle is over, I'll visit the Night's Watch office in King's Landing, and take a tour of the property you mentioned. The girl put away the mask of adoration and admiration, her expression returned to normal, and a trace of arrogance suddenly appeared, but unfortunately this true face was only fleeting, and was immediately replaced by another mask: "Ah...... Today's wounded in the siege were carried down, I knew a little about medical skills, and went to visit and take care of them, and the two adults were lost first. ”

***

Oh, let's go and perform the drama of "loving soldiers like children" again. Seeing Margaery's soft figure as she turned away, Egger was amused, but he did not show disdain or contempt for him—he became a gentleman if he did not stop. No matter what kind of goals and aspirations a person has, if he can insist on living in a noble way, then he is a good person.

To evaluate such a noble girl, you should look at what she does, not what she wants. Margaery is good at showmanship, but it's just a basic skill for a good politician...... If she can insist on acting for a lifetime, maybe she will really be a qualified mother of a country. It's a pity that she was born more than ten years late and can't marry Robert in time.

......

"This little goblin, but a master who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, I was worried that you were confused by her just now, and I couldn't help but want to remind you a few times. But it seems that I am overly concerned - Lord Egger is worthy of being Tyrion Lannister's chosen partner, how could he fall for such a low-level beauty scheme?" ”

"My lord has won the award, and to be honest, it is really difficult to refuse the request of such a beauty. Egg smiled, where was it to make her deflated, at best he was just holding the line. If it weren't for the fact that he knew this girl well, with his own life experience and the city, maybe he would ...... No, I'm sure I'll be deceived.

"Have you heard the word that has been spread everywhere in the barracks in the past two days?" Earl Bookwell nodded, he was only deliberately approaching the identity of the other party's night watchman officer, but the more he got along, the more he found that the young man in front of him was quite interesting, and the conversation that had been held back all the way suddenly swelled up: "Everyone says that Margaery Tyrell looks a lot like the late sister of the Prime Minister, Lyanna Stark." ”

"Oh?" Iger became intrigued: "Is it really like it, or is it ......"

"Guess what?"

"I see. Egger's eyes flashed, and now he could already hear the subtext in his mouth, who was Lyanna Stark, how could the ordinary soldiers in this barracks have seen her? This rumor was mostly spread by the Tyrells, and Margaery had no hope of becoming queen for the time being, and even did not shy away from being Robert's mistress? For the sake of the Tyrells, this girl was willing to give everything, and it was really a hymn of loyalty to the family, and the Tully family should have given her the tribal language: "Then—Your Majesty has seen Miss Margaery?"

"I've seen it, and I casually praised her for being beautiful, but there is no follow-up. The girl's fancy and dress didn't work, she was a beauty, but King Robert hadn't seen any woman, and His Majesty was not a fool—a woman from the Tyrells family, but she didn't recognize anyone without putting on her pants. The old earl smiled and pinched his beard: "Moreover, I am only afraid...... Even King Robert himself has forgotten what Lyanna Stark looks like, not to mention 'supposedly alike', even if he is exactly the same, he probably won't be impressed. ”

Iger nodded approvingly and sighed: After more than ten years, who can still remember the old good looks? For Robert, who likes the new and hates the old, and is extravagant, what he still loves now is not the Lyanna Stark who "has the blood of a wolf in his bones and is full of wild beauty";

"Only allow me to go to the world's wife, not to let the world go to my wife", in this regard, Robert is a super domineering scumbag, and his fiancée, who has been patiently waiting for a long time and has not been able to eat it, eloped with someone, which is a psychological shadow that he can never forget for the rest of his life, which has nothing to do with what Lyanna looks like, but the dignity of a man is humiliated - no matter how many beauties are returned to him, this wound cannot be healed.

......

"Look around, what do you see?"

"A military camp?" The topic changed a little quickly, and Iger frowned, although he knew that the answer was not so simple, but this time he really couldn't hear the deep meaning: "Please also ask the adults to give advice." ”

"I can't talk about teaching, I just talk about the shortcomings of the parents. The old man laughed: "What ordinary people see is a military camp, what I see is the largest blind date meeting of wealthy families in the history of the Seven Kingdoms, you don't have a noble status so no one comes to you, how many people jump up and down in this camp, desperately trying to sell themselves or their children!"

"Marriage...... After all, this is the best way to form an alliance and ascend to the top. It dawned on Iger that he was selling the Night's Watch property in the coalition barracks, and the nobles were negotiating marriages, and everyone was busy, as for whether this counterinsurgency could be won...... I'm afraid only Robert cares: "Miss Margaery counts as one...... What else?"

"Well, let's not talk about some of the girls who want to hook up with Robert, let's talk about the ones who are planning to get married, the famous Marquis Frey, you have heard of it. ”

"Marquis Frey, who is late, who doesn't know. Iger smiled knowingly, the word late, in the lingua franca of Westeros, when placed in front of a person's name, also has the meaning of "deceased", "deceased", etc., and fortunately the old weasel gave this nickname to his feudal lord Duke Tully, he was angry and did not dare to lie, and he was going to change someone else, and he was sunk by Wald Frey into the Green Fork River to feed the fish.

"It's a nickname that everyone knows, but remember not to be in front of the Freys. The Earl of Bookwell kindly reminded Egger, "In addition to sending 2,000 troops to help this time, the Frey family also has a special girl named Luo...... What Lily is coming. ”

"Roselyn Frey?"

"Yes, do you know?" the old earl was a little surprised, but did not think much about it: "That girl, compared to her brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces, is not at all like the Freys, her brother has taken her to visit many people, presumably to marry her to Edmure Tully, and has set his sights on Robb Stark and the Lannisters...... Alas, you said that a nouveau riche, is it easy to mix with an orthodox background, high or low, running into walls everywhere, and his nose is full of ash, I feel sad when I see it. ”

Roselyn Frey is one of the few women in the TV series who can make Iger feel amazing, because she was born a weasel...... No, the Frey family is really out of place in a pile of crooked melons and cracked dates, so much so that some people suspect that she is the product of cheating, and I wonder if this girl can still make people shine in this world?

Iger was moved by the idea of meeting this beauty, but after thinking about it, other people's beauty and ugliness have a relationship with himself? Old Frey has lived so long, and he is such a beautiful daughter, but he wants to rely on her to climb a better family, and he doesn't even think about ordinary earls, and a night watchman runs over to see what other people's daughters look like, I'm afraid he is not out of his mind?

"After saying this, I have to mention the leader of the Riverlands Army, Edmure Tully. He's not a little old, and he's not married, why? It's not because of his father...... Lord Khorst, who overthrew the Targaryen dynasty, has tasted the sweetness of marriage. The two daughters are well married, the son says that he will not sell anything cheaply, the Frey family is full of efforts to let him marry their own woman, the dowry is so rich that he can buy all the Riverrun, the old man does not agree, he has to marry his son to the daughter of which duke...... As a result, I haven't been able to find a suitable one, no, the nobles who are almost thirty years old and have no children are not very common in the whole of Westeros. ”

As the founder of the Four Great Alliances of Deer, Wolves, and Ospreys, and one of the founding heroes of the Baratheon Dynasty, it was normal for Horst Tully to want his son to marry a woman who was a good man, but he had to marry the daughter of a duke...... Does Westeros have the right partner right now?

To the north, Sansa and Arya of the Stark family are Edmure's nieces, so naturally they can't be considered; to the east, Duke Arryn is also married to a woman from the Tully family, and even if he has a daughter, he is still in the same status as Sansa and Arya; to the west, although the Iron Islands are legally one of the nine administrative regions, everyone doesn't recognize the Greyjoy family as dukes at all, as for the Lannister family...... Cersei, the only one who is not much different in age, has long been married to Robert.

It seems that only the South can be considered: the Baratheon family has no other women of weight other than Princess Messila, and Cersei will never marry her precious daughter to an uncle; Arlene Martell of Dorne is a good candidate, but unfortunately they have already secretly made a marriage contract with Viserys Targaryen, who has fled overseas, and is waiting for the Dragon family to restore the salted fish; and the rest seems to be only Margaery Tyrell - who can meet the requirements of Duke Tully!

"Little Rose is the right person. Iger quickly cleared his mind: "It's a pity ......"

It's a pity that Tyrell is determined to squeeze into the core of power, in vain...... Although he is also a duke, his influence is small after all.

To put it bluntly, people don't look down on the Tully family.
