301 Crazy
Sir Kevon Lannister walked through the garden labyrinth and into the High Court with a heavy heart.
He really didn't expect the situation in Hewan to be so bad, and the Ma Party actually captured the ancient oak city and the fruit wine hall.
Although the reason used was that the two families had killed the two sons of the Duke of Metz, Villas and Garland, of course, Kevon knew that these two men were clearly forced to death by the Ma Party.
And now, the Ma Party has even demanded that the Duke of Metz hand over Lady Olenna.
It is said that she plotted to assassinate Caesar, a vassal, of the High Courtβthis is true.
But even so, a group of vassals forced the feudal lord to hand over his mother, which was a bit too much to say.
But Kai Feng also knows that the Deer Party, which is already in a weak position, has just been wiped out by two important families, and the Ma Party is naturally becoming more and more unscrupulous, forcing Duke Metz to hand over Lady Olenna this time, and it is estimated that the next step will be to completely liquidate the remnants of the Deer Party and carve up the territory of the Deer Party.
Therefore, he must help the Tyrells to stabilize the situation and not let the riverbend become the domain of the Horse Party, in which case Caesar's power will swell to an extremely dangerous point.
"Sir Kevon, this is your room." The butler said politely, "I have already put the servant to prepare the bath water, and dinner will have to wait a while, if you are hungry, I can ask the kitchen to prepare some food for you." β
"May I meet Lady Olenna first?" Kai Feng is in the mood to take a bath and eat and drink at this moment.
"Please follow me."
Kevon entered the room and bowed, and followed the butler to a bedroom on the top floor of the main castle.
The room was richly furnished, with Mill carpets on the floor, fine brocades from Reese on the walls, and behind a wooden screen depicting colorful exotic animals, Kevon saw Lady Olenna.
She was staring out the window and didn't look back when she heard footsteps.
"Lady Olenna." Kevon stepped forward and sat down.
Lady Olenna seemed to notice someone entering the room, and she turned her head slowly, her cloudy eyes fixed on Kevon for a long time before she gained focus.
"Sir Kevon, how dare you come to the High Court now?"
"The Ma Dang shouldn't be bold enough to rush into the High Court and kill people." Kevon pretended to laugh lightly.
Lady Olena sneered:
"They dare to kill even my grandson, what else wouldn't dare."
"I regret that."
"It's a pity that there's a fart." Lady Olenna spoke as mercilessly as ever, "You might as well go to the sanctuary and light a candle for my two grandsons." β
"I'll go." Kaivon wasn't angry at all, "And rest assured, King's Landing won't watch the Equestrians mess around." You can ask the Duke of Metz to declare Randolph Tully and others treasonous, and the king will send an edict in solidarity......"
"Solidarity is a." Lady Olenna seemed to be deliberately venturing her anger on Kevon, "What's the use of declaring the Equestrian Party a rebel?" It's just to make them more unscrupulous, and the High Court still has the ability to quell the chaos? Or can you Lannisters send troops to the bend? β
"King's Landing can't send troops yet." Sir Kevon also looked a little helpless, "There was an accident in the north that caused Eddard Stark to escape, and now Duke Tywin is working with Earl Bolton and Lady Anya to encircle and suppress that wolf. But rest assured, as soon as the situation in the north is calmed down, the Duke of Tywin will definitely move south to help the High Court quell the rebellion of the Ma Party. β
"The situation in the north is calm? When will that be? β
"Probably...... It's going to be a few months. β
Lady Olenna said in a sharp tone:
"A few months? Will Caesar give the Tyrells a few months? Maybe he's already riding a dragon and flying this way. β
"The Ma Party will never dare to attack the High Court." Kavon didn't know if he was really confident or pretending to be calm, "What can Caesar do when he comes." β
"Have you forgotten that my grandson Loras is still in Caesar's hands?" Lady Olena emphasized, "That was my last grandson!" Do you think the Tyrells can wait for you Lannisters to pacify the North?
Do you know that everyone in the Tyrells is resentful of me as an old witch now, they think that the current bad situation is all caused by me, Ellery cries every day that I killed her two sons, and Mace always avoids me, not wanting to see me, and probably hates me in her heart......"
Kevon was silent.
He was actually slandering in his heart, Lorras, a guy who likes men, probably can't continue the bloodline of the Tyrell family, so why care.
But he also knew that such words must not be spoken, otherwise the Tyrells would be angry.
"Can't Tywin lead his army south at once?" Lady Olenna spoke again, "The wolf of the north will be handed over to Bolton and Lady Anya to clean up. β
Kaivon sighed, shook his head, and said:
"That wolf was tougher than we thought. Moreover, his son Robb was also a very talented general, and he actually defeated Lady Anya's army in the valley in an encounter, and a siege operation was in vain......"
Seeing that Lady Olenna's face was getting more and more ugly, Kaivon hurriedly reassured:
"Don't worry too much, though, Stark won't last long. After all, Winterfell is in our hands, and although they can still rely on the support of some northern nobles to ensure logistics, after a long time, the morale of the army will inevitably gradually decline, and sooner or later they will be defeated. β
"Don't tell me anything sooner or later!" Lady Olenna said angrily, "The High Court doesn't have so much time. Even if I were willing to wait, some of the Tyrells wouldn't want to!
In their eyes, I've always been a Redwin, or an old, damned Redwin.
Where is more important than the last son of the Duke of High Court. β
"They're going to trade you for Loras?" Kevon understood what Lady Olenna meant.
"More and more people are already thinking so, maybe my stupid son thinks so himself, but he just doesn't dare to say it."
Kaifeng pondered for a moment, then got up and said:
"Lady Olenna, the Lannisters will not sit idly by while their allies are in trouble, and I will go with you to see the Duke of Mace, believing that I can make him change his mind."
Lady Olenna looked at Kevon for a moment:
"What else can the Lannisters come up with to make my son change his mind?"
"It depends on what other conditions Caesar can accept, and he can talk slowly." Kaivon's emphasis on the word "slowly" is clearly a reminder that the Tyrells can stall for time.
"If the Lannisters are really willing to help, there is something that might be exchanged for Loras." Lady Olenna said suddenly, and at the same time got up and walked out.
"What? As long as you don't want the gold mines of Castle Rock, it's all negotiable. Kevon made a little joke.
Lady Olena did not laugh, she came to the door, and tapped her lightly twice, summoning two guards.
Then he looked directly at Kaivon with those small eyes, and said:
"That's you, Sir Kevon."
Kai Feng was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed greatly:
"Lady Olenna, you're kidding, aren't you?"
"Do you think I'm in the mood to joke right now?" With a wave of her hand, two guards stepped forward to detain Kevon.
Kevon said angrily, "Lady Olena! I'm kind enough to come to the High Court to help, is that how you treat your allies? β
"Yesterday it was an ally, today it may be an enemy. What's so strange about that. Caesar was my grandson-in-law. Lady Olenna said lightly.
After saying that, he took Kai Feng out of the door and went all the way to the council chamber.
In the hall, the Duke of Metz was talking to several vassals.
Everyone looked worried, and the room was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.
Seeing Lady Olena walk in, the eyes of several people were a little complicated.
The Duke of Metz bowed his face and stepped forward to greet:
"Mother, I heard that Sir Kevon had gone to see you?"
"Yes, I brought him."
The Duke of Metz was about to greet him when he saw Kevon Lannister, who was being carried in by the guards.
He was a little confused: "Mother...... What's going on? β
"Still don't understand?" Lady Olenna said, "Exchange him for Loras, are you really going to throw your wife to Caesar?" β
"I ...... Of course I won't ...... you," Duke Metz argued.
"Mistress Mace!" "Listen to me," shouted Kevon, "the Lannisters have always attached great importance to their friendship with the High Court, and are extremely indignant at the rebellion of the Equestrian Party!" King Tommen was also concerned about the situation in the Bend, and if he needed to, he could sign a document declaring the treason of the Malay nobles ......"
"Without an army, the Iron Throne's paperwork is a piece of waste paper." Lady Olenna said sharply, "If the Lannisters can't send an army, it's useless to us. β
The Duke of Metz asked in a hopeful tone:
"Sir Kevon, is it true that the Lannisters can't send troops?"
"It will take some time ......"
"Don't be delusional about Mace, the Lannisters can't send troops." Lady Olenna scoffed, "The old lion is still playing a game of catching wolves in the north." β
"What should I do?" Duke Metz said with a sad face, "My son is still in Caesar's hands, and that is my last son!" β
"Cry fart!" Lady Olenna scolded impatiently, "Now we have only two choices, either hand over Cayvon, to make a complete break with the Lannisters, and pray that Caesar will spare us, or hand me over, I was the one who murdered Caesar in the first place, and if he kills me, he should be able to relieve his anger."
Mace, it's up to you to choose, Kaivon or your mother? β
"I ...... I...... How could I have handed you over! Duke Metz said.
"That's Kaivon!" Lady Olenna announced, then her eyes swept over the Tyrells in the hall, "What do you think?" Are you going to hand me over, an old witch? Or Kai Feng? β
How could everyone say that they would hand over the Duke's Mother at this moment, and hurriedly said that it was Kai Feng.
Kevon said angrily, "Olena! Mace! I am your guest, and you can't do this to me! The gods will curse you! β
Duke Mace looked at his mother hesitantly.
Lady Olenna said coldly:
"If the gods have spirits, they should first curse the evil king on the Iron Throne."
