iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 334 Compensation
Duke Green stood on the west wall tower of the Red Keep, overlooking King's Landing. A refreshing night breeze blew against his face, and his blue cloak embroidered with swamp marigolds fluttered slightly.

Cersei is decisive.

At this time, her captain of the escort, Ser Osfry, was "assisting" Grand Maester Pycelle in copying the Queen Regent's book of canonization in the Maester's Tower.

Tomorrow, when the sun rises, hundreds of messenger crows in the crow's nest will fly to the castles of the lords of the Seven Kingdoms. Soon... the name of the new Duke of the Eagle's Nest——Glenn Clayber will be seven. It is passed down throughout the country.

I have to admit that as long as the lioness is determined to do something... no one can stop her, and she will do it thoroughly.

In addition to being good at making use of her top beauty, she is also good at giving people unexpected surprises.

Dang~~dang~~dang~~
In the distance, the melodious bells on the bell tower of Baelor's Cathedral echoed in the silent night sky, as if to remind people of the passage of time.

Green turned around and glanced at the four people who were loyally guarding him: Monton, Brienne of Tarth, Ange, and Rean Hussey (Chapter 259).

He showed a smile: "Tomorrow morning, I will canonize you as knights there, and Archbishop Zari will personally anoint you with holy oil (Chapter 323)."

He added: "Monton, as a reward for your contribution, I will ask King Joffrey to abolish your illegitimate son status (Chapter 288; I would like to thank Mr. Cheng for his help, thank you very much)."

Boom, Mengton, who was fat and fat and wore plate armor, knelt down, making quite a movement.

"me……"

Mengton opened his mouth, scratched his head again, and finally... smiled innocently.

Hook Lane, Crabb's Mansion.

Green had just finished breakfast when a waiter came to the restaurant to report that Tyrion Lannister had come to visit.

Walking down the stairs, Green saw Tyrion waiting in the hall. He stood with his little hands behind his back, and beside him was the squire Podrick.

Seeing Green's figure appear, Tyrion immediately grinned: "Aha..."

Then... his smile suddenly faded, he bowed towards Green and said respectfully: "Good day, Your Majesty the Duke."

Green smiled, and he matched Tyrion's joke, caressing his chest and said, "Good day, Lord Tyrion, Chancellor of the Exchequer."

Tyrion smiled playfully: "Congratulations, Green."

"thank you for your blessing."

Green motioned for the others to leave and said with a smile: "Please sit down, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you until night."

"According to the original plan, I should be with my kind father at this time."

Tyrion climbed onto the chair, sat down, and continued: "I originally wanted to talk to Lord Tywin today about the Lannister family's sponsorship of Joffrey's wedding, but as soon as I arrived at the Red Keep, I learned that you were canonized by Cersei. Because of the good news about the Duke of the Eagle's Nest, I immediately changed my mind."

He grinned: "I'm worried that the old lion will vent his anger on me."

Green poured two glasses of wine, pushed one of them in front of Tyrion, and said, "A lot of things happened yesterday, but it is indeed good news."

He took a sip of summer red and added: "I heard from Jaime that you are preparing for a wedding of 770,000 gold dragons. I also heard that Lord Tywin allowed it." Tyrion shrugged and said: "At the beginning I didn't take it seriously. I thought it was some kind of sincerity from Lannister to show Tyrell. Later I found out that I was wrong, because Uncle Kevan came to me and told Lord Tywin what he said. He said that after the war, Before now, the Lannister family will suspend funding for the royal family, which means... the 770,000 gold dragons used for the wedding need to be raised by me as the finance minister. "

Hell, his father warned him never to worry about the inheritance of Casterly Rock, but he would use him in every possible way. Last time he was the easy acting Prime Minister, this time he was the troublesome Chancellor of the Exchequer.

After a pause, he said with a smile: "If my father really refuses to support me, I plan to change into clown clothes and perform juggling in front of the Prime Minister's Tower (thanks to Mr. Ao for the suggestion) to earn money for my nephew's wedding... Oh, I don't want to." I’m almost moved to death by myself.”

Green couldn't help laughing: "If I have time, I will go to the dungeon to visit you, Tyrion."

Tyrion laughed and said: "I didn't expect you to understand Lord Tywin's style... dungeon... um..."

After murmuring, he complained: "Green, I can guarantee that I am the most miserable finance minister. Because I am worried about my good sister's sudden revenge, I have to be careful every day. I only hope that my father will marry her off as soon as possible, as far as possible." The better. Well, the more fierce the husband, the better. I still miss Robert."

Green exposed his dream: "Unfortunately, Queen Cersei's marriage is her own decision, and Prime Minister Tywin has already agreed."

Tyrion was stunned for a moment and said: "How is it possible... you did it?"

Green nodded slightly: "This is the condition for Gudi to be willing to 'sit' together."

After the words fell, Tyrion's black and green eyes suddenly stared at Green, and his tone became serious: "Green, you and I, we are friends as close as brothers!"

Green spread his hands and said, "Please tell me directly why you came to me today, Tyrion?"

Tyrion's cheek twitched slightly, but his tone remained unchanged: "You have to compensate the injured, poor, helpless dwarf."

Green nodded: "Well, yes, compensation."

After hearing Green's assurance, Tyrion lost his serious expression and sat there laughing, and Green smiled back.

He grinned: "The royal treasury is in urgent need of a loan, not much, one hundred thousand gold dragons."

Green glanced at Tyrion with disgust and said, "It's true... not much. I'll let Kleiber Firm arrange it for you."

Tyrion smiled and raised his glass: "Your Majesty, on behalf of the king, I would like to thank you for your help."

Green smiled, raised his glass, took a sip of wine, and said, "Do you have any ideas for the other golden dragons?"

Hearing this, Tyrion scratched his hair: "Cersei will invite a thousand guests, as well as the most famous musicians, singers and theater troupes for Joffrey's wedding. There will also be seventy-seven grand wedding banquets." Meal... Ha, children starve to death every day in the city, and people fight each other for a carrot. The Seven Gods forgive me. "

Green frowned slightly and said, "Didn't the support from the Tyrell family alleviate the food crisis in King's Landing?"

Tyrion tidied his messy hair with his fingers and said: "Although the Tyrell family has shipped countless supplies, the price of food in King's Landing is still ridiculously high. Bronn told me that six coppers buy a pumpkin. A silver deer is exchanged for a pile of corn, and a golden dragon is worth a knife of beef or six skinny piglets. Despite this, haggard and withered men and women crowd every carriage and every stall, and the old and weak are miserable and helpless. I can only watch from a distance at the entrance of the alley.”

He grinned: "I, this little devil who is hated and looked down upon by them, still find a way to save them, how wonderful it is."

Green pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps you can ask me to increase the 'compensation', Tyrion."
