iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 491 Bloodline 14
The Inflatable Fish Duke snorted heavily and stopped not far away. He threw away the green cloak embroidered with golden roses, straightened his broad and thick chest, and raised his chin high.

"I am here as you requested, Duke Green Crabbe!"

After he finished speaking, his cold snort once again echoed in the silent and empty throne room.

"Welcome."

Green's emotionless voice came from above: "...I'm glad that Tyrell chose peace."

The Duke of Metz maintained his majestic posture: "I am doing this for the king and my daughter!"

He looked around: "Where is my Margaery?"

After waiting for a while, seeing Green looking at him silently, Duke Metz didn't know what he was thinking of, and a hint of anger suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Shouldn't Margery be here?
"where is she?"

Green still did not respond and continued to look down quietly, which made the inflatable fish's majestic posture somewhat difficult to maintain.

He raised his voice with anger: "Are you planning to violate the honor of the family?!"

Then he said, "Don't think that you can control the Seven Kingdoms by joining forces with Martell. Let me tell you, they hate Baratheon and Lannister deeply. Those Dornishmen will only cause greater chaos in the Seven Kingdoms."

He raised his chin higher. "Without Tyrell's support, the Iron Throne will never be at peace."

After finishing the "lines" he had specially prepared in advance, the Duke of Metz nodded secretly with satisfaction. His outstanding performance was enough to be praised by everyone in the River Bay... no, the entire Seven Kingdoms, and the scholars who wrote "True History" would record this day with the utmost praise.

As for Margaery's safety, he was not really worried. He knew that the Greens could not hurt her. Only a despicable family like the Lannisters could do such a despicable thing as threatening each other's children.

When the Duke of Metz was happily thinking about how to end this drama, Green's low voice floated over.

"Duke Tyrell, are you threatening the royal family? Or are you threatening... me?"

The sunlight shining into the petition hall was dazzling. The Duke of Mace couldn't help but squint his eyes. Then he spoke in a gentle tone: "Green, the friendship between the Golden Rose and the Marigold can bring true peace to the Seven Kingdoms. Compared with the arrogant Dornishmen, we trust each other."

After a moment of silence, Green's voice rang out: "What are your conditions?"

Duke Mace stroked his triangular beard and said, "My conditions are simple. Margaery and Tommen's engagement remains unchanged, and Prince Doran's daughter is sent back to Sunspear. In this way... the Tyrell family will continue to do its utmost for the peace of the kingdom."

At the same time, he secretly regretted that if the Dornishmen had not suddenly come over to cause trouble, he would definitely have taken the opportunity to propose the position of Prime Minister.

After a pause, Green's cold voice came over: "Do you want me to 'ignore' the will of Queen Mother Lannister? This matter is no longer a secret. If I agree to your request, then... how can I make up for the lost honor of Crabbe?"

He added: "Regarding Tommen and Margaery's engagement, I think I have chosen another way for you (Chapter 479). Are you worried about your daughter's charm?"

Step~step~
Green walked down a step and said, "Also, Duke of Mace, Martell is not our enemy. I remember the war seventeen years ago. Both of your families resisted to the end before they had to choose peace talks. This is a rare and precious friendship."

The Duke of Inflatable Fish was stunned for a moment. Why did Green suddenly mention the rebellion?

Although he was surprised, he did not think too much about it. What he was most concerned about at the moment was how to drive out the Dornishmen who came to grab the "cake".

Hearing Green use absurd reasons to link Tyrell and Martell's friendship, the Duke of Mace guessed that Crabbe had reached an exchange of interests with Martell.

The Duke of Inflatable Fish was immediately furious. He was even more angry at the cunning and greedy Dornishmen, whose behavior of robbing the fruits of the Rose Family was no different from robbery!
He clenched his fists. "Remember, if the Tyrells hadn't chosen to side with the Lannisters, King Joffrey and King Tommen wouldn't have been able to sit on the Iron Throne!"

"You also said that it was a Lannister, not Crabbe."

"You!" Standing there, the Inflatable Fish Duke's face turned red with anger.

Green curled his lips and said, "Right now, what the kingdom needs is the steadfast friendship of Marigold and Golden Rose."

Tread~tap~tap~
After Green walked up two steps, he looked down at the stunned inflatable fish Duke again. His posture was upright, and the sunlight behind him made his figure appear a blurry halo.

The hair hanging in front of his forehead was a little messy. Green raised his bony hand, drew an arc, and combed his hair back with his palm against his forehead.

With his slicked-back hair, Green's edges and corners are more distinct, and his deep eyes have a sharper and more majestic look.

"Lord Mace Tyrell, you have not yet called me Regent."

The Duke of Metz moved his lips. At this moment... the strange feeling brought by Green standing on the steps made him a little overwhelmed.

Is this Green?!
The sound of footsteps on stone slabs was heard, and Green slowly walked down the steps and came in front of the Duke of Metz.

"Assist me in governing the kingdom, commanding the territory, leading the army, and administering justice."

The golden necklace in Green's hand sparkled, instantly attracting all the attention of the Duke of Metz, and he murmured, "Prime Minister's necklace?"

Seeing the Prime Minister's necklace being handed to him, the Duke of Metz couldn't help but reach out his hand, but... he couldn't take it.

At this time, Green's voice sounded: "Prime Minister Mace."

The Duke of Metz looked up, and saw the gentle smile that Green was familiar with. He blinked, and then... he immediately understood the intention of the person opposite him.

He grasped the Prime Minister's necklace and asked tentatively, "Regent Green?"

Hearing this, Green's smile deepened slightly, and suddenly... the force that was restraining the Prime Minister's necklace disappeared, and the Duke of Metz took it away smoothly.

After putting on the Prime Minister's necklace he had always dreamed of, the Duke of Metz couldn't help but smile with such a big surprise.

Green smiled and said, "Prime Minister Mace?"

Hearing this, the Duke of Metz couldn't help but grin, and then... he touched his chest and saluted neatly and gracefully: "Your Highness the Regent."

Green reached out and patted Prime Minister Mace's arm, smiling and saying, "Let's go. I have prepared a small gift for you."

Following Green, the Duke of Mace was in great joy, but at the same time, he felt a little ashamed towards Green... He shouldn't have doubted their close friendship. It was just a chair for the Minister of Justice... Although the Dornish were annoying, as the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, he should be fair.

…………

In front of the royal conference table, the prime minister's chair carved with a roaring lion pattern has disappeared, and it has been replaced by another black walnut chair in the shape of a handle.

Staring at it, the Duke of Metz's eyes widened slightly: "Green... Your Highness, is this the chair you mentioned to me in your letter before (Chapter 266)?"

Green nodded. "Yes, it is a masterpiece of the carpenters in the valley. It is my belated gift. Come, please take a seat."

The two men took their seats, Green in the King's chair and the Duke of Metz in the new Prime Minister's chair.

"Prime Minister Mace."

He called out first, and then Green pointed to the tabletop of the long table in front of the imperial meeting: "From now on, sit here and let's look down on the entire Seven Kingdoms together."
