iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 314 Red Castle 5
For some reason, Greenclab's eyes unconsciously glanced at the top of Sir James's head...the blond hair.

When Sir Jaime wanted to say something, Green interrupted again: "For the rest of the questions, you can ask Tyrion, Sir."

Sir James: "…………"

After a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "I am Captain of the Kingsguard again."

Green's brown eyes moved slightly and said, "How many more drinks can we have together tonight?"

Sir James showed a bitter smile and said: "It is indeed worth celebrating."

Green looked at the tiredness that could not be hidden on James' face and said, "Perhaps you should have a good sleep for a few days, Sir James."

He added: "Even if it is the same thing, you will have different thoughts when you are in a good or bad state. People often think more joyfully when they are relaxed."

Sir James spread his hands and said, "Thank you, I accept your kindness."

Green joked: "You also say...thank you? Did the Seven Gods take a nap?"

"I understand, Father."

After Sir James sat down, he smiled and said: "The wolves are biting hard. Fortunately, Clayber's cavalry arrived in time."

Ser Jaime shrugged. As he was adjusting his sleeves, Lord Tywin asked, "Will it affect your use of the sword?"

Outside the Prime Minister's Tower, the red robe of the Lannister family guarding the door opened the door and sighed: "Lord Jaime, Gods bless you, I finally have you back."

Climbing up the stairs and coming to a door, James went straight into his father's study without knocking as before.

Lord Tywin, who was tall and upright, was sitting by the fireplace. He glanced at his eldest son and said, "Jaime."

After a pause, Sir Jaime added: "Tyrion did a lot of work. If it weren't for his cleverness, I wouldn't have escaped from that ghost place so quickly."

Lord Tywin tapped his chin and reminded: "Lannister must pay his debts, so repay this favor as soon as possible, my son."

Sir James chuckled. He reached out and patted Green's arm and said, "I still have something to do."

Duke Tywin pointed to the wooden chair beside him and said: "After you escaped from Riverrun, I got the news soon. I ordered Sir Amory who was stationed at Harrenhal to send out all the cavalry to search. Kevan also headed towards the river. Some forces in the area reported the situation and asked the other party for assistance. "

Green crossed his arms, with Robb with red eyes outside and his well-behaved children inside. The time to test Lord Tywin was about to come, and... Lord Green kindly had a little sympathy for him.

Lord Tywin pursed his lips, paused, and reminded his son again: "Jaime, the person who enjoys the honor of Lannister has the obligation to contribute to Lannister."

Sir James closed the door and said, "I accidentally got bitten by a wolf."

His tone sounded like the two of them had met at breakfast: "I heard that you were injured, and it seems that you are recovering well."

Seeing his father's eyes staring at his injured forearm, Sir James pulled up his sleeves to let him see clearly: "It's okay."

It was Tommen's voice. He was running over with brisk steps, his chubby face full of excitement and anticipation.

Lord Green looked at the back of Sir Jaime as he left, recalling the words he just heard. Did Jaime directly propose to Cersei? The result...you can know the answer without guessing.

"Earl Green!"

…………

Sir Jaime's lips curled up slightly and he said: "My coming back has nothing to do with the gods. It was Tyrion, Earl Green, and Sir Adam who saved me."

At this time, his eyes suddenly moved. He turned his head and saw a small ball trotting towards this side.

Hearing this, Sir James moved his forearm, smiled, and said: "To be honest, it is more flexible than before. I am also surprised, father."

"Very good." Lord Tywin raised the corners of his lips in a rare move.

He continued: "Now, the war between us and Little Running Wolf is unavoidable. Casterly Rock City can only use more resources. We must end the war as soon as possible."

He tapped his fingers on the armrest and muttered: "A better situation would be... to let other forces join us in our wolf-wrangling game. James, do you have a way to get the Kleb family's army to join us?"

"Earl Green..."

Sir James leaned back in his chair and replied: "Father, we can only rely on Cersei for this matter. Without her permission, I don't think Earl Green will use the army."

Duke Tywin's light green eyes stared at his son for a while, and said: "James, I have taught you that there is no eternal loyalty in this world. The most important thing in the game of power is the transaction. What does the other party want? And what you have in your hands is the key.”

He looked directly at Jaime: "I'm asking you, not Cersei."

Sir Jaime hesitated for a moment, then said: "Father, if you promise not to marry Cersei off, I think she will be willing to cooperate..."

"Enough!" Sir Jaime's words were interrupted by Lord Tywin's angry voice.

He stared at the fireplace, calmed down, and said: "Her stupidity, her indulgence of Joffrey, she has left enough trouble for Lannister, she must leave the Red Keep. And you..."

Duke Tywin looked at James again and continued: "It's time for you to end your knightly game. I need you to go to Casterly Rock as soon as possible..."

Ser Jaime interrupted in disbelief: "Father, as long as the Kingsguard takes an oath, they must serve for life."

Duke Tywin suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "When Cersei expelled Ser Barristan from the Kingsguard in the name of old age, the tradition you mentioned was broken. Now, we only need to give generously. Give the church a gift, and they will be happy to relieve you of your obligations. It is true that Cersei expelled Ser Barristan, but on the other hand, it also opened the door for us..." "So, someone has to. Stand up and close the door again." Ser Jaime interrupted Lord Tywin again.

He stood up from his chair and said, "Father, I've had enough of other people's gossip, and I don't want to add any more worries. Besides, I don't want to be the captain of the Kingsguard, but since the job falls on me, I have responsibility……"

"Of course you are responsible!" Duke Tywin also stood up.

His eyes were fixed on Jaime: "You are born to be responsible for the Lannister family. You were the heir of Casterly Rock in the past, and you should be the heir in the future!"

After a pause, Lord Tywin suppressed his anger and said: "I have decided to hand over Tommen to your discipline and make him your squire and adopted son. I don't want his mother to spoil him. I will wait for him to learn how to do it in Casterly Rock." How to be a true Lannister, and when he comes of age, I will let him inherit Storm's End."

He reached out a hand, grasped Ser Jaime's shoulder, and said, "My son, it is time for you to get married. Your marriage is very important to the Lannisters, and the Tyrells are very important to us..."

Ser Jaime took a step back, and Lord Tywin's hand flexed in mid-air... behind his back.

Sir Jaime shook his head: "No, I don't want to get married, and I don't want your Casterly Rock!"

Lord Tywin suddenly shouted loudly: "You are my son!"

Ser Jaime did not give in, he raised his voice and said: "I am the Kingsguard! I am the captain of the Kingsguard! This is the meaning of my life!"

The fire in the fireplace shone on Lord Tywin's strong golden beard, reflecting golden light and highlighting his angry face.

Ser Jaime's expression was extremely determined, and a vein popped out in Lord Tywin's neck, but he did not speak.

The tension and silence continued.

I don’t know how long it took, but Sir James looked at his father, and he gradually felt apologetic in his heart. He murmured: "Father..."

"You are not my son."

Duke Tywin turned his back to Sir Jaime and said coldly: "You said you are the captain of the Kingsguard, that is the meaning of your life. Very good, Sir, I will no longer delay you in fulfilling your duties. Please leave."

…………

As night falls, stars twinkle in the sky.

In the Queen's Ballroom in the Megh Tower, candles are dotted around every corner, their light reflecting the ornate tapestries on the walls and the exquisite carvings on the ceiling.

The candlelight flickered like daylight.

On the dining table, fresh fruits and exquisite desserts were placed on silver plates, and the aromas of various delicacies and fine wines filled the air.

The men and women attending the banquet were dressed in various gorgeous dresses, chatting in twos and threes, and the waiters and maids quietly shuttled back and forth among the crowd.

Soft melodies floated from the balcony, adding an elegant atmosphere to the banquet.

In the cheerful atmosphere, one of Queen Cersei's maids was blocked in a corner of the hall by Lord Greene.

Laughter and music were intertwined in the air, but here there were sounds of crying and pleading.

"Master Green, please... I will die..."

The maid wore a low-cut meghta maid gown. The purse in Lord Green's hand was gently tossed, and it slipped right into the maid's vagina (Chapter 142).

"There are no secrets in the Red Castle, Maid Mira."

"I'm really going to die...please have mercy...my lord..."

"I have to remind you that your behavior may easily attract others' attention."

Green leaned against the wall, looked down at the maid huddled in the corner, and said, "You don't have much time."

Maid Mira trembled: "Master Green, I actually don't know..."

Lord Green's eyes widened: "How dare you deceive the nobles?"

Maid Mira suddenly shuddered. She wanted to cry, but she didn't dare. She felt very regretful at this moment because she had not resisted the temptation and accidentally spilled the beans in front of Earl Green.

"I said...I, I, I said..."

After listening, Green confirmed again: "On the day the Archbishop passed away, did you see the guard named Osney quietly enter the Queen Mother's bedroom?"

Maid Mira nodded tremblingly, and then... tears still overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

Green asked for details: "How long have you been here...have you found any other abnormalities..."

After the "interrogation" was completed, Green patted the frightened maid Mira with satisfaction: "Very good. I heard that your fiancé is in the patrol team of the Golden Robe..."

In the end, Lord Green's generosity made Maid Mira leave happily, with wind in her steps.

Green came to the table naturally and picked up a silver wine glass. He moved slightly. Because it was a banquet, although he was in the Red Keep, he was not wearing his ancestral plate armor, which made him very uncomfortable.

Not long after, someone sang: "Welcome! Salute to Her Majesty Cersei, Queen Regent, Guardian of the Realm, House Lannister...!"
