Yesterday, at the end of the Battle of King's Landing's Landing, Ser Jacelyn Bywater, Commander of the Gold Cloaks Tyrion fought on behalf of Tyrion, was killed in action, and Lancel Lannister, who disguised himself as Renly, was seriously wounded. 🐚♠ ♥😂
Tyrion's eyes flickered, and he let out a lazy, alcohol-smelling hiccup. " Ser Adam," he said, "Where are my squire and captain of the guard?"
Addam Marbrand said expressionlessly, "They are waiting for you Gate of the Gods."
Tyrion grinned. "Did I give the order in a dream?"
"This is Lord Tywin's order."
Tyrion's face was full of sarcasm. "What a kind father..."
He glanced at his dirty clothes and said, "Let me get ready, tall gentleman."
Ser Adam stepped aside to make room in the doorway, placing one hand on the hilt of his sword, and said, " Tywin's orders are to depart immediately."
Tyrion grinned... Ser Jacelyn, who had helped him control the Gold Cloaks, was dead... His captain of the guard Bronn... Even his young squire, Podrick, had been "asked" to leave by his father.
Yesterday he was the powerful Hand of the King, the hero who saved King's Landing's Landing; today he woke up as a toothless, clawless Lion... no, he's now a laughable Dwarf, and always has been.
Even if he achieves great merit and wins great honor, is his Dwarf son a stain on Tywin's reputation?
No matter how hard he tried, was his father unwilling to even look at him?
Tyrion's eyes burned slightly, and his heart was filled with endless grievances and... humiliation.
He should have known this would happen; he really is an incredibly stupid Dwarf.
Tyrion took a slow breath, paused, then raised his head to look at Ser Adam and said, "My little squire is not here, so I will have to trouble you, sir, to help this Lannister mount his horse."
As he finished speaking, Ser Adam tightened his grip on the sword hilt and said, "I will arrange for someone."
Tyrion chuckled and said, "I refuse to be served by anyone else. I appreciate your attentiveness, Sir."
Ser Adam's icy expression finally softened... and anger surfaced as he said, "This is Tywin's order. If necessary, I will use some harsh methods."
"Ha! I like the rough approach. Thanks again for the thoughtfulness."
Tyrion grinned. " A Lannister always pays his debts... Hmm, that's what Lord Tywin you mentioned told me."
Ser Adam's muscular chest heaved dramatically. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "It would be my pleasure to serve you, Lord Lannister."
Tyrion then put his hands behind his back, humming a cheerful little tune, and limped out of the room.
Clang~~Clang~~Clang~~
The bronze bells of the Great Sept of Baelor rang out in a deep rumble, their sound echoing across the hills and Vale, through the streets and towers, reaching every corner of King's Landing.
The people of King's Landing were shouting and cheering.
"We're saved! We're saved!"
"It's over! It's over! Stannis escaped!"
"It was Lord Tywin of House Lannister who defeated Stannis, who wanted to burn us alive! He is the savior of King's Landing!"
"The great Lord Tywin has saved the King and King's Landing!"
" Lord Tywin is the savior of the Seven Kingdoms!"
"The eternal Hand of the King!"
" Lord Tywin!"
" Lord Tywin! Lord Tywin! Lord Tywin!"
Amid cheers from the people of King's Landing, Lord Tywin Lannister rode his warhorse through the majestic King's Gate and into the King's Landing.
Lord Tywin was dressed in magnificent armor: gleaming red steel plates inlaid with intricate gold swirls, a ring of sun-shaped diamonds encircling his helmet, a roaring Lion on top with ruby eyes, and Lioness on his shoulders fastening a long, heavy gold cloak that hung down to cover the horse's rump.
His warhorse was clad in gilded armor and adorned with shimmering crimson silk, bearing the House Lannister Lion.
The Duke of Casterly Rock appeared like a hero from legends and ballads. When he appeared, the cheering crowd paused noticeably for a moment, followed by an even louder roar of cheers.
Long live Lord Tywin Lannister!
" Lord Tywin Lannister... Long Lord Tywin Lannister... Lord Tywin Lannister..."
Meanwhile, Lady Catelyn had just woken up and was looking around the interior of the carriage with some confusion.
"Madam, would you like something to drink?"
Lady Catelyn blinked and spotted the unfamiliar the Maiden sitting at the other end. The Maiden looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slender and strong figure, and clear blue eyes beneath her short black hair. She was dressed in a black riding leather coat and a silver-plated chainmail.
Wasn't she at Gates of the Moon...? Why is she here...? Before Catelyn could think further, the Maiden's cheerful voice rang out again. "You are now in the carriage heading to Winterfell. Outside are the guards of House Crabb. Lord Crabb instructed me to tell you all this as soon as you wake up."
After a moment of silence, Lady Catelyn suddenly said, "That glass of wine, that sour wine, it's been tampered with."
"It was laced with sleeping pills. Lord Crabb apologizes to you; this is what he instructed me to do."
Lady Catelyn: "..."
She paused, then asked, "Child, who are you?"
"Madam, my name is Mya Stone, it's my pleasure to serve you." The black-haired the Maiden's smile was full of confidence.
Upon hearing her name, Catelyn frowned slightly... According to custom, each of the Seven Kingdoms has a surname specifically for bastard children. Stone East is the surname of bastard children in the Vale of Arryn, just like Snow in the North and Riverlands in the Riverlands.
Because of her own marital experiences, Lady Catelyn was unable to feel any affection for illegitimate children.
Seeing that Lady Catelyn remained silent, Mya Stone asked in a concerned tone, "Madam, would you like me to pour you a glass of wine?"
Lady Catelyn nodded at first, then suddenly added, "As long as it's not a sour wine from the Crackclaw Point, it'll be fine."
After saying this, the Tully lady couldn't help but grit her teeth secretly.
"Would Summer Wine be okay?"
Mya loved to laugh, and her smile seemed infectious; Lady Catelyn couldn't help but smile as well.
She nodded and said, "Child, are you a maid in the Crabb family?"
Mya looked dejected. She shook her head slightly and said, "No, my former master was Lord Nestor Royce."
Ser Nestor Royce is a branch member of House Royce. He is not only the eternal guardian of Gates of the Moon, but also the Grand Steward of the Duke of the Eyrie.
Lady Catelyn took the silver glass from Mya, took a small sip of wine, and said, "Once upon a time?"
