Chapter 193
"What? My second husband was also assassinated? Grandma, do you know who did it?"

Hearing Olenna's words, Margaret, who was sitting beside the big velvet bed, immediately raised her head and asked her grandma.

"It's not sure yet! Since the independence of the Riverbend Kingdom, many forces inside and outside the kingdom are closely watching our Tyrell family. However, it should not be a small force that can quietly plant people around us to poison us."

Olenna shook her head at Margaery as a gesture, and then calmly analyzed the general information of the poisoner.She pondered for a moment before ordering the twin guards,

"Left hand, let the steward of the inner castle count the information of all the servants and guards. Screen out the suspicious people who have approached Renly II today."

"Ok!"

The tall and burly left hand responded with a deep voice, and then walked outside the king's bedroom.At this time, an anxious guard passed by him, came to Olenna to salute and reported:
"Ms. Olenna, Master Vilas has brought someone back!"

"Huh? Vilas? Calculating the time, they should have just arrived in Black Harbor City! Could it be that he knew in advance that something would happen in High Court through other channels, so he turned back early?"

Olenna frowned immediately after hearing the guard's report and said to herself.At the same time, an inexplicable sense of irritability arose in her heart.

As the actual controller of the Tyrell family, Olenna has always done things carefully and with full confidence.

These things that happened suddenly today made her feel a kind of irritability that the situation was getting out of control.

"By the way, Lord Vilas's armor is covered with blood, as if he just fought a battle not long ago. And he only brought back nearly a thousand cavalry this time."

The guard seemed to think of something after reporting the main event, and he continued to report.

"Brother is covered in blood, is he injured? Where is he now?"

After Margaret heard the guard's report, she immediately asked loudly with concern.

At this moment, her pretty face showed concern from the bottom of her heart, which was completely different from the crying appearance just now because of the death of the little king.

This is because Vilas has a gentle personality and cares about his younger siblings.When he was in Highgarden, he often accompanied Margaery to read books, and he also drew for her the patterns she wanted.

In the younger generation of the Tyrell family, apart from being close to Loras, who is similar in appearance to her, Margaery is this gentle elder brother.

"Uh, Master Vilas should not be injured. But he is not very convenient to move, he walks slower than me, and he should be there soon!"

The guard was stunned by Margaery's loud questioning, and he replied immediately after regaining his composure.

As the guards said, a few minutes later, Vilas, wearing bloody armor, walked quickly into the king's bedroom with a cane engraved with the family crest of roses.

As soon as he saw Olenna, he spoke very quickly and said, "Grandma, tell Father to lead the troops back to High Court!

Tywin Lannister pretended to form an alliance with us, and the attack on the Westlands was a scam designed by him. I suspect that his goal is our Reach Kingdom! "

"Veras, don't worry, explain the matter to me in detail!"

Olenna, who roughly heard the meaning of Vilas's expression, sank in her heart for an instant, and she asked him to explain the matter carefully with a cold face.

"When the army of the Thirty Thousand Rivers Kingdom led by me was heading to the grass area of ​​Nightsong City, it was ambushed by the combined army of the Martell family, the Lannister family and the noble family of the Stormlands led by Oberyn Martell.

When I retreated to Star Shuttle City with my family cavalry, Kevan Lannister and Titus Peake led an army to intercept.Under the desperate cover of the family cavalry, I managed to break through their encirclement.

Then return to High Court as quickly as possible to report to you! "

Vilas took a few deep breaths to calm down the panting from the sprint just now, and then explained in detail what happened to him in one breath.

Phew!Bang!

After listening to Vilas' detailed report, Olenna, who always presented herself as an old woman with a vicious tongue, grabbed the precious decorations on the bedside table and smashed them to the solid wood floor.

"Good Tywin Lannister! First lure us with sweet baits, and then worry about our huge beast pulling him into the water for a thin fisherman.

So simply call two other skinny fishermen to divide us up together!
I am afraid that the assassination of Renly II was also done by him!After the Reach Kingdom became independent, our Tyrell family gradually began to transition to a royal family, and more or less began to suppress other nobles in the Reach Kingdom.

And those ancient nobles who still bear the blood of the gardener family have long been dissatisfied with us.

We first mobilized most of the family's troops to go to the west, then lost nearly half of the remaining troops, and finally lost the banner of Renly II.

Now is the time for them to unite with the Lannisters and overthrow our Tyrells!
Hahaha, I was still planning the grand blueprint for the expansion of the Riverbend Kingdom during the day, but I didn't expect that at night, it would be the moment that would determine the survival of the family! "

After breaking everything that could be broken at hand, and venting the irritability in his heart.Olenna, who connected the known information together, made a detailed analysis of the situation facing the Tyrell family.

It's just that at the end, she looked up to the sky and laughed uncontrollably.

"grandmother!"

Having never seen Olenna like this before, Margery stepped forward to hold her wrinkled and shriveled hands with a worried face.

Olenna patted the back of Margaery's soft and fair hand, then turned to look at Vilas and asked, "Veras, how much time do we have?"

"Most of the troops of Kevan and Titus outside Star Shuttle City are infantry. It will take at least two days for them to pack up the battlefield today and rush to Highgarden. If they wait for the Oberyn troops near Nightsong City to join up, then at least Add another day or two!"

Hearing Olenna's question, Vilas simply calculated in his mind and blurted out.

"Four days at most? Even Crake Hall can't make it in this time!"

"Grandma, I can make preparations to defend the city in advance. Incorporate all the villages and towns around Gaoting into the city, and then set fire to the surrounding resources.

By doing this, he should be able to persist until Father returns to High Court with an army of [-]! "

Seeing Olenna's thoughtful expression, Vilas followed her words and said.

"Even if he persists until he comes back with the family army, the outcome of the battle between the two sides is uncertain!

I have no such apprehensions if Randyll Tarly is in command.But this time I personally asked your father to command the army. With his character, he would never delegate power to Randyll Tarly at this critical moment.

Hey, our Tyrell family has lost this game of chess from the very beginning! "

Olenna shook her head when she heard what Vilas said, and sighed heavily. He seemed to have seen the development of the situation in the next few days.

"grandmother……"

"Mrs. Olenna, there are three envoys who claim to be Lannister family envoys at the gate of the inner castle!"

Just when Vilas was about to continue speaking, another guard hurriedly entered the bedroom to report.

"At this time? Lannister family messenger?"

Hearing the guard's report, Vilas confirmed with a look of surprise.

"Yes, we have already verified the visit document submitted by the other party, and the formalities and seals on it are complete."

"Hey, Tywin Lannister is paying attention to noble etiquette at this time. Vilas, Margaery, let's go! Go to the throne room to meet the envoy of the Lannister family.

We Tyrells have never had a gaffe in noble etiquette! "

Olenna let out a sneer when she heard the words, then greeted her grandchildren, and walked towards the throne room in High Court first.

Margaery and Vilas exchanged glances, and then quickly rushed to Olenna's side, supporting her right hand as they walked forward together.

Vilas glanced at his blood-stained armor, turned his head and let the servants of the king's bedroom go to his bedroom to get a new set of clothes, and then limped away with his cane.

As for the noble Renly II on the velvet bed, the corpse was placed there alone and no one cared about it, as if it was worthless like an unknown corpse on the battlefield.

The Throne Hall in Highgarden was the previous meeting hall of the Tyrell family, but the original golden rose reliefs and decorations were reduced by half, and they were all replaced with the crowned stag of the Baratheon family.

"Queen Margaery, Lady Olenna, Sir Vilas. I, Tyrek Lannister, send my heartfelt greetings to you on behalf of Lord Tywin!"

After entering the throne room, a young man with green eyes and blond curly hair that was as long as his shoulders said greetings without sincerity mechanically.

This young man named Tyrek belonged to the Lannister family from his appearance. He was followed by two older attendants. They stood silently aside and did not introduce themselves.

"You don't need to be so polite, Tyrek Lannister, since you came to visit so late, there must be something important. Please explain your purpose!"

Hearing this, Vilas, who had changed into a noble dress with a golden rose embroidered on his chest, stood up and asked Tirek straight to the point.

"Our visit this time is to deliver a letter for Lord Tywin! Well, His Majesty Renly II is not here, so this is the letter!"

Seeing that Vilas went straight to the point when he came up, Tirek directly answered the purpose of his visit this time.

It's just that this young man was very upright. He took out two letters with wax paint from his arms, then probed his head to look at the empty Rose Throne, and then handed out the letter in his right hand.

Seeing this, Vilas turned his head and looked at Olenna with a serious face, then turned his head to signal the guards in the throne room to get the letter.

When the guard brought the letter back to Vilas, he didn't take it immediately.Instead, he observed the guard's hands for a while to make sure there was nothing unusual before taking the letter.

There is no way, Gao Ting has just experienced a poisoning and assassination incident, so it is right to be cautious!
After confirming that the wax seal with the lion's family crest was intact, Vilas opened the letter and read it.

It's just that the more he read the letter, the uglier his face became. In the end, his face experienced many expressions of shock, fear, and joy.

"Veras, what did Tywin Lannister write in his letter?"

Seeing that her grandson seemed to be performing facial art, Olenna couldn't help asking.

Vilas limped to the middle position between Olenna and Margaery, and said in a low voice: "Although the letter is full of metaphors and vague references, judging from the meaning he expressed , It was indeed Tywin who poisoned Renly II.

Moreover, he also pointed out the crisis facing our Tyrell family that grandma just analyzed.

He expressed in very affirmative words that he would definitely be able to conquer Highgarden with Dorne, the nobles of the Stormlands, and the Reach Kingdom, conquer the Reach Kingdom, and destroy our House Tyrell! "

Ouch!
Hearing this, Olenna slapped the deputy hand of her high-backed bench heavily with her left hand full of anger.And Margaery also had an angry look of gnashing her teeth.

"However, as long as our Tyrell family can submit to the Lannister family, donate half of our troops, food, equipment and other materials to them, and marry Margaery to Tommen Baratheon.

This genocide crisis of the Tyrell family will turn into an unprecedented opportunity! "

"Opportunity? Brother, you didn't misread the word, did you?"

Hearing this, Margaery looked sideways at Vilas and asked.

"That's right, it's an opportunity! He said that as long as our Riverbend Kingdom declares to return to the jurisdiction of the Iron Throne, it will show our sincere surrender.

Then, the siege of Highgarden will turn into a deadly trap for the rebel nobles of the Stormlands, Dorne, and Reach Kingdoms.

Most of the troops in the Stormlands have been buried in the western region, and they are now their last troops.Dawn has also been damaged to the core after going through the infighting of the Yronwood family.

As long as their last forces are wiped out outside High Court, the Lannister and Tyrell families can easily gain the Stormlands, Dorne, and the borderlands of Dorne.

At that time, the promise he made to you, grandma, will still remain unchanged, and our two families will still become the top families in Westeros! "

Ha ha!

In Tywin's eyesight there are no allies at all.As long as the benefits are achieved, he can sell any ally in an instant.

Moreover, his ultimate goal is not just the Reach Kingdom, but to lower the Reach Kingdom back to the Reach after paying half of its heritage, and at the same time gain actual control over the three regions of Stormland, Dorne, and Dorne Borderlands right.

After explaining the contents of the letter, Vilas did not bother the grandma who was thinking seriously.

Doubtful, he took a few steps to the front and asked Tirek, "Master Tirek, when I entered the city, I ordered the soldiers guarding the city to close the gate. How did you enter without our permission?" From Highgarden?"

"Lord Vilas, you are welcome. I am not an 'adult'. You can call me by my name. Oh, we arrived in Highgarden nearly a month ago and have been waiting for you!"

Hearing Vilas' question, the upright Tyrek answered directly.

hiss!
Hearing what Tirek said, Rao likes to pretend to be harmless, and Olenna, who is extremely well-to-do, couldn't help but gasp.

"The time they returned to Highgarden was about the same as the time I returned from King's Landing! All of this was within Tywin Lannister's calculations, and there was no mistake at all!
Hehe, back then I said that this male lion has reached the end of the day, and he can't even deal with a little wolf cub!
Unexpectedly!No matter how old he is, he is still a chess player who can dominate Westeros!

It made me even more curious about Robb Stark, though.How on earth did he defeat this terrifying opponent time and time again? "

"Grandma, it may be by magic! I heard the bards in Highgarden sing that Robb Stark, who looks fierce and likes to eat human flesh, has the evil magic power to freeze everything!"

Margaery, who heard Olenna whispering, directly told the rumors about Robb she had heard during this period.

"Hehe, silly girl, you can really believe such rumors!"

Olenna, who was shocked by Tywin's methods, was directly amused by Margaery. She teased Margaery, then turned her head and said loudly to Tyrek,

"Tirek, please stay in High Court for a few days. The content of Lord Tywin's letter is extremely important, and our family must discuss it in detail before we can reply to you!"

"This is what it should be, Madam Olenna! Lord Tywin has instructed that the deadline for replying is before High Court is attacked!"

"Okay! Go and rest first!"

In fact, due to the limitation of vision, Olenna did not understand Tywin's grand layout.If Robb was here, he could instantly see that Tywin was gradually eliminating the princes who ruled the Seven Kingdoms in order to achieve his goal.

He didn't just want to establish the Lannister Kingdom, but the Lannister Empire!

If Tywin can really complete his ambitious hegemony, his achievements may be even greater than Aegon the Conqueror!
