iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 508 Surrender (End)

Mysterious red eyes, red hair hanging loosely on the shoulders, and a fiery red silk robe...

Her snow-white and graceful body seemed to be wrapped in flames.

………In some ways, she was more charming than his tragically deceased sister.

So charming, Tyrion naturally imagined the scene of himself blaspheming the priestess...

For example, taking off that thin red robe...

Spread your long legs...

However, the priestess was extremely dangerous, and he would constantly warn himself every time they met.

"Little lion, His Majesty wants to hear your advice."

Melisandre's seductive voice brushed past his ears, and Tyrion's eyes moved slightly, then shifted his gaze to Stannis who was looking at him.

After a pause, he rolled his eyes slightly and said respectfully, "Your Majesty Stannis, King's Landing is far away from here, and your great feat of resisting the invasion of the White Walkers and saving mankind is enough to crush all conspiracies against you."

After a moment of silence, Stannis snorted and said, "I am at the edge of the world preparing for the Whispering White Walkers to move south, and they...those people are abandoning the legitimate king of the Seven Kingdoms."

His mocking snort came again: "Aerys II was mad and cruel. His heir, Prince Rhaegar, had the shameless act of snatching the Lord of Storm's End's fiancée. He himself tried to defile the Lord of Casterly Rock's wife. Oh, even if Robert hadn't been there, that ugly father and son would have forced the lords of the Seven Kingdoms to rise up in rebellion."

His deep eyes seemed to be reminiscing: "Wine, beauty, Robert is foolishly addicted to these things, and I don't like him treating me unfairly even more.

But I have to admit that it was he who saved the kingdom at that time, and this is his indelible honor. "

Stannis seemed to have guessed what Tyrion was thinking. His cloudy blue eyes moved slightly, and he added, "Yes, Robert is a rebel, a traitor to the Targaryen Iron Throne, and the usurper that Grimm declared to the Seven Kingdoms."

He stood up slowly. "But the result was that Robert won the war, sat on the Iron Throne with the Targaryen succession from my grandmother, and became the legitimate king of the Seven Kingdoms."

Stannis looked down at Tyrion. "So, if Grimm Crabbe brings back the Mad King's daughter, who has the first claim to the Iron Throne, Robert will once again become the leader of the rebellion seventeen years ago, and everything I have stood for will become a joke."

Evil shadow killer...

Tyrion spoke cautiously: "Your Majesty, you should put..."

As he spoke, he placed one hand on his neck and made a beheading gesture tentatively.

"Grimm's declaration means nothing. As long as Daenerys Targaryen has not ascended to the Iron Throne, I remain the rightful King of the Seven Kingdoms."

Stannis took a few slow steps, his jaw moving silently, and then he said, "It is up to him, not me, to decide when to deal with him. Even if the Seven Kingdoms want to abandon their legitimate king, my duty and obligation remain unchanged. I will defend the Wall and destroy all the White Walkers who dare to come south."

He paused and stared at the rising fire in the fireplace. "If anyone interferes with my war against the White Walkers, I will immediately judge that person's crime. I don't just mean Green Crabbe." Looking at Stannis's thin back, Tyrion suppressed the admiration that surged in his heart and forced a slightly flattering smile on his face. "The night is dark and dangerous everywhere. It is my greatest honor to serve you, Your Majesty."

Stannis ignored Tyrion's flattery, paused, and asked aloud: "Will Eddard Stark also abandon his legitimate king?"

Crackling, sparks flew in the fireplace and the flames suddenly rose and twisted.

Tyrion blinked, glanced at the red priestess moving towards the fireplace, and said thoughtfully: "After our contact some time ago, my judgment is that the Wolf will at least not become your enemy, Your Majesty Stannis."

Stannis's voice had regained its composure. "Not an enemy?"

Tyrion nodded and said slowly: "Yes, I think Lord Eddard's honor is inclined to stand on your side. What makes him embarrassed is that his northern vassals are worried that clear support will lead to war again. You also know that the North has suffered heavy losses in the past year or so of war. And..."

After a pause, he continued: "...He was very determined to take care of Robert I's illegitimate son. His insistence was based on the brotherly friendship between him and Robert. He felt that it was his responsibility to protect Robert's bloodline."

"That's a lowly bastard."

Stannis gritted his teeth. "Robert is my brother. The two bastards should be given to me."

Tyrion spread his hands. "This may be the biggest difficulty in the negotiation."

Melisandre stood near the fireplace, staring at the changing flames without moving, while Stannis turned and faced Tyrion.

After a pause, Stannis opened his thin lips and gritted his teeth and said, "Tyrion, tomorrow you will have a final talk with Lord Eddard Stark on my behalf. He can only give me a bastard child, and then he must acknowledge that I am his king. This is my greatest concession."

Tyrion didn't dare to look Stannis in the eye. He hesitated a little: "If the Wolf still refuses..."

Stannis replied coldly: "Then there is no point in wasting each other's time any further."

Tyrion's eyes rolled slightly, and he opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, we can at least ask Stark to remain neutral. With the North as a barrier, it will be difficult for Green Crabbe's minions to get their hands on the Great Wall..."

Stannis interrupted Tyrion and said, "There is no need. Even without me, no one else would allow the North to be independent of the Seven Kingdoms. Stark must make a choice. Either choose to submit to me or choose to be my enemy. There is no other way."

Tyrion continued, "If he chooses to be your enemy, I must remind you, Your Majesty, that this will be very detrimental to your cause. The North is behind the Wall."

Stannis paused and said coldly, "If Ned chooses the Targaryens, it would be extremely foolish. Most people, including the Mad King's daughter, will never forget that he was one of the rebels who helped Robert overthrow the Targaryen Iron Throne. This 'past'... will never disappear."

His eyes narrowed slightly. "Only under the Baratheon Iron Throne, Ned is Robert's eternal good 'brother', and the Stark family is the eternal hero of the Seven Kingdoms. And for the Targaryens..."

"The great Lord of Light has granted a new prophecy!"

Melisandre's voice suddenly interrupted their conversation: "It is not Daenerys Targaryen who sits on the Iron Throne. Not her!"
