iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 436: Under the Rushing City 13
"My guess was right. You are also interested in my good uncle." Asha moved, put a hand on Green's shoulder, and bent down to look at him.

As she spoke, she pulled at her collar, letting him see her full and elastic breasts.

Lord Green simply glanced at him calmly and said, "Miss Greyjoy, you are very smart. It is true. I don't want to see another source of chaos in the Seven Kingdoms."

"You can call me Asha."

Asha's eyes trembled slightly: "It seems that the mad crow's eye has brought great unrest to the Green Land."

"Perhaps you can make things a little simpler." Green raised his chin slightly, pointed to the empty chair opposite, and said, "Please sit down, Miss Asha."

Asha took a sip of wine gracefully and slowly put down the glass, which made a crisp sound when it hit the table.

Then, she smiled slightly, stretched out her slender legs, passed over Green's legs, and then opened her legs without any shyness, sitting directly on his thighs.
Their eyes met and after a moment of silence, Asha lowered her eyes to look at the dagger that was pressed against her lower abdomen. Suddenly, she sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her voice: "You make me doubt my own charm."'

"I'm sorry, as a hunter, some habits are beyond my control." After saying that, Green put away the gift from the Iron Bank - the Valyrian Steel Dagger (Chapter 335).

Seeing this, Asha moved her lower body, then stretched out her hands to hug Green's neck, curled her lips, and said: "I thought I could easily capture the young duke's body and heart, but I didn't expect that my heart was captured by you first. You are an upright bad guy..."

Her breathing became heavier, and she moved again, saying in a slightly hoarse voice, "The daughter of the sea monster loves men like this the most."

As Asha was about to lower her head, she was stopped by Green, who placed the tip of his index finger on her forehead.

"The daughter of a sea monster should love waves and boats more."

A glimmer flashed across Asha's blurry eyes. She paused for a moment and opened her thick, rosy lips: "But a strong man can protect me and my child for life. I have no reason not to love you."

However, when she tried to lower herself again, Green's fingers did not move at all.

This made her little face suddenly turn red with anger.

"You can sit still and just enjoy the pleasure!"

She slowed down, forced a smile, and touched her belly: "Leave your seed here, and then let him inherit the Sea Stone throne. This is what I came up with. How about it?"

"sounds good………"

Asha wanted to speak but her whole body was suddenly lifted up. She resisted subconsciously, but... all she felt was an irresistible force.

His power was like a surging wave, leaving her with no ability to resist.

“…But I’d like to hear other suggestions.”

Asha was thrown onto an empty chair by Green. Although the force was not strong, she felt extremely humiliated.

She held the handrails tightly on both sides and shouted angrily: "I want to duel with you!"

After saying that, she pounced forward, but was quickly thrown back by Green.

Green shrugged. “When you inherit Pike City, I might consider accepting your challenge.”

Asha paused as she was about to stand up: "Are you willing to help me take back the power that belongs to me?"

She asked again: "What do you want?"

Green sat down, paused, and said, "Miss Asha, I suggest that we work together and send Crow's Eye to see the Stranger first."

He spread his hands and continued, "After getting rid of the Crow's Eye, your father's brothers...only Aeron Greyjoy is left. From what I know, he is more like a priest who devoutly serves the Drowned God. I don't think such a person will pose a threat to you. Perhaps he will even be a help to you."

[Aeren Greyjoy is the youngest brother of King Balon. During Greyjoy's Rebellion, Aeron nearly drowned when his longship sank. The experience of escaping death revived his spirit, and he has been devoted to worshipping the Drowned God ever since.]

Seeing that Asha seemed to be looking for something, Green took off the wine bag from his waist and threw it to her.

"You are so thoughtful, Your Excellency the Duke." Taking the wine bag, Asha smiled at Green.

Gulp, gulp, she tilted her head back to drink for a while, then wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand and said, "Crow's Eye is not easy to kill. The boundless sea is his best fortress, and... he is extremely cunning."

Asha thought that the Crow's Eye had led the ironborn away from the Iron Islands to raid once the kingsmoot was over because he was afraid that she might be trapped there.

He knew that as long as King Baron's heir was still there, there would be no shortage of onlookers and speculators under his Seastone throne.

She couldn't help but frown. "According to my investigation, the Crow's Eye also controls evil power. He keeps magicians and evil wizards on his red ship."

"The Crow's Eye seems unhappy with the ironborn's worship of the Drowned God."

Hearing Green's voice that sounded like an expression of emotion, Asha's eyes suddenly moved. Her uncle the priest would never tolerate the Crow's Eye, who disrespected the Drowned God, sitting on the Seastone Seat.

She looked at him. "I must admit that you are very perceptive. It is also my fault... because Uncle Aeron sailed with the Crow's Eye, and I never thought of trusting him."

Green raised his glass and said, "If we have a common enemy, trust is secondary, Miss Sea Monster."

Asha nodded, pinched her chin, and said, "I will find a way to contact Uncle Yilan."

Green took a sip of wine and said, "The best hunting ground for Crow's Eye is not on the sea."

Asha shook the wine bag, paused, and said, "Are you trying to lead him to land?"

She thought for a moment and shook her head slightly. "This is difficult. Every cunning pirate knows that the most dangerous place is on land. Moreover, he is the Crow's Eye... He knows this from the time he led the Ironborn leaders out to plunder. He is very sensitive to danger and will not let himself fall into a trap."

"Greedy pirates are never afraid of huge waves, right?"

Green stared at Asha for a while and continued, "Miss Sea Monster, you seem to have forgotten an important bargaining chip. Euron Greyjoy can use marriage to tie your hands and feet, but that person can't. According to the law... the other sea monster is the first heir to Chief Balon. If he comes back, Euron will be a usurper."

Asha couldn't help but blink. "My Prince of Winterfell who was dressed in black by the Lord of Winterfell? Uh, you mean my brother Theon?"

Green couldn't help but smile, then nodded and said, "Yes, Theon Greyjoy is your father's only son. I think... if the Crow's Eye heard that your brother was going back to the Iron Islands, he would take a risk... a cunning person would not trust the loyalty of others, and he would not choose to borrow the hands of other iron races."

Seeing Asha's eyes moving around, Green pointed his finger at her chest and said, "If you want to be a qualified ruler, you should have a heart as broad as the ocean. I think the Prince of Winterfell you mentioned should be willing to assist his sister."

Hearing this, Asha looked at Green and grinned, "My rule can accommodate anyone except the Crow's Eye."

Then, the expression on her face fell: "I am only worried that my good brother is too happy as a night watchman."

"Then your fist and tongue will be tested."

Green spread his hands and said, "As a token of my sincerity in cooperation, I will allow your brother to leave the Wall safely and return to his sister."

The first step of cooperation was reached, and Asha did not mention the safety of her or Theon at all. As children of sea monsters...if they were afraid of risks, they would not be qualified to compete for the position of Sea Stone.

"As a token of my sincerity, should I serve you now..."

Leaving the chair, she slowly approached: "Besides the place to keep the seeds, I also have this..."

Her hands moved subtly, and then she bit her lower lip: "Plus... here..." She placed her palms on Green's chest and looked down slowly: "Or a part that doesn't allow people to get pregnant. The daughter of the sea monster is not afraid of challenges and enjoys pain."

Green grabbed her hand that was slowly moving downwards and said, "In return, everything that belongs to the Crow's Eye will be mine."

Asha's eyes trembled slightly, and she giggled: "Of course, this is the most wonderful love words I have ever heard."

Asha was escorted by Ser Brienne, while Green came to the map and his eyes were fixed on the location of the Wall.

boom---

The next day, the quiet morning of Riverrun was broken by a sudden green fire on the tower next to the Red Fork River.

The city walls and the foot of the city were filled with terrified crowds.

At the narrow window of the study, Brynden Tully looked solemnly at the green flames that seemed to melt the tower.

Brynden's captain of the guard pushed open the door and walked in, saying anxiously: "Sir, our tower has suffered..."

Brynden's voice was hoarse and steady: "I have seen it."

Coming to the lord's side, the captain of the guard also looked out through the window: "Wildfire, it's the wildfire thrown by Kleber's catapult!"

"do not panic."

Brynden looked at the green flames pouring down from the tower like a torrent of water and gave an order: "Immediately evacuate all soldiers in the south and let them hide in the houses temporarily."

"As ordered!"

Just as the captain of the guard was about to leave, the herald strode in through the open study door.

"My Lord, there are bugle calls from the Lannister camp. They are about to launch a siege."

"I understand. Prepare for battle immediately."

Upon hearing the order, the messenger immediately turned and left.

The captain of the guard paused and said, "Sir, it is very likely that Crabbe will cooperate with the Lannisters in their attack today. Do we need to prepare for the sluice gate?"

Brynden narrowed his deep eyes and said, "It's not time yet. Let's continue to entertain the Lannisters with boiling oil today."

"But... Crabbe's wildfire..."

"I will guard that place myself. You go and convey my order immediately."

South bank of the Red Fork River

President Harlin, who was standing next to Green, chuckled, "Sir, are you satisfied with the performance of Big Fruit?"

After looking at the black smoke over Riverrun for a while, Green asked, "President Harlin, how many large 'fruits' would be needed to destroy Riverrun?"

President Harlin rubbed his hands and replied, "If we really want to destroy it, using a trebuchet... hehe... thousands of them may not be enough, but... hehe... I think if a trebuchet can throw a hundred large fruits into it, fear will be able to 'destroy' Riverrun."

Green retracted his gaze and said, "You are indeed wise men. You not only understand magic, but also understand human hearts."

"Thank you for your praise, great Lord Green. In fact, in addition to wildfires..."

President Harlin moved a little closer and once again recommended the Alchemist Guild's fireworks display, which was once famous in the Seven Kingdoms.

He couldn't wait to stand in front of people again, restore the lost glory of the pyromancer, and compete with the Citadel.

"I will give you a chance."

After a pause, Ser Anguy galloped over and shouted, "Lord Green, the Lannisters are gathering their troops."

Green glanced at the increasingly dazzling sun and ordered, "Throw one more large fruit, and today's training will be over. We will continue at this time tomorrow."

Lannister camp.

Sir James strode over, frowning, and said, "Davon, did you give the order to attack the city?"

"Quick assembly."

Davon Lannister on the platform shouted, and then showed an excited look to Jaime: "Duke Crabbe cast a powerful wildfire at Riverrun, and the soldiers of Riverrun were in chaos. We can't miss such a good opportunity."

Hearing about wildfire, Sir Jaime's brows furrowed even more. He paused and said, "My cousin, but you are too anxious. The soldiers are not prepared at all."

Hearing this, Sir Davon looked around the messy barracks, opened his mouth and said, "I know, Jaime, but..."

He clenched his fists, remained silent for a moment, and said, "There are less than two months left before the three-month deadline set by Cersei. I must seize the opportunity. My cousin, this is my first battle after taking over as the Warden of the West. I must not fail."

He gritted his teeth and said, "This is also the first battle for the Lannister family after they lost Lord Tywin and Lord Kevan. I want all the Seven Kingdoms to hear the roar of the lion that they are familiar with."

Ser Jaime sighed softly. He patted his cousin on the shoulder and said, "Ser Balon and I will go together to maintain order among the soldiers."

Sir Davon suddenly called out to James as he left, "James, can you help me get some wildfire from Duke Crabbe?"

Sir James did not seem to hear Davon's request; his steps only paused slightly, barely perceptible.

The next day, on a gloomy morning, Crab's three catapults simultaneously fired three wildfire shells at Riverrun.

This allowed the Lannister army, which had failed in the siege yesterday, to gather again under Riverrun and launch a siege.

On the third day, there were five wildfires, but the Lannister army did not take any action.

That evening, Ser Balon, a member of the Kingsguard, brought a handwritten letter from Jaime, proposing that the Lannisters, Crabbe, and Freys hold a war meeting regarding Riverrun.

Green put down the letter, looked at Baron Sven, and said, "White Knight, it seems that there is no place and time for the meeting written here?"

Sir Baron replied respectfully, "Your Excellency, Lord Green, Sir James asked me to tell you that if you agree to hold a meeting, the place and time will be decided by you."
