Next, the marriage partner recommended to him made Titus feel ridiculous even more "Westerlands's light" Cersei·Lannister.
The eldest daughter of Tywin·Lannister who was thoroughly offended by him.
For this beauty of the same age who had an affair with Li Sheng's younger brother Jaime and who once wanted to marry Prince Rhaegar·Targaryen——
Master Titus only has four words for the young lady to be married Casterly Rock:
Thanks for not being sensitive.
He was not sure whether Tywin's move really wanted to ease the relationship between the two families and restore old friendship - or whether he had finally found the "ultimate weapon" against House Peake and wanted to harm him.
Such a game of wits, right?
In Titus's view, it doesn't matter if a woman is a little stupid. At least she can be a law-abiding vase. If you marry her, you can also have an idea of Casterly Rock's inheritance rights and use the brains of the Warden of the West family----
But this woman is not simple. She seems to have a "Westeros Lin Xian'er" style that ordinary men can't stand.
The most unbearable thing is that this woman completely lacks sufficient understanding of her true level.
Cersei has always thought arrogantly: She is "a woman Tywin who doesn't have a younger brother" and "the true legacy of the Lion family. Bah."
She is the descendant of the fifth generation of their family's "Queen Lorna" Lorien Lannister, pretty much the same.
Such a mind is hopeless.
Cersei·Lannister is proud, willful, and ambitious. He always feels that he is extremely talented in politics, but is limited by his gender and cannot express all his abilities.
It was her beauty that affected her performance.
She blindly worships her father Tywin and "imitates" his ways of doing things, but in fact she doesn't have even half of Lord Tywin's power and scheming.
Cersei What they have is nothing more than a bunch of self-righteous little schemes.
When it comes to small things, she is more than cruel - some are even unnecessarily "cruel", but when it comes to big things, she is lacking in so-called cruelty and wisdom. If no one helps her cheat, she will often mess things up.
More importantly, Cersei is an extremely selfish woman - especially before she has children.
In her heart, apart from her childhood favorite, Prince Rhaegar, whom she had loved in her dreams, even her twin brothers Jaime·Lannister, who had been close to her since childhood, were nothing more than her playthings.
To say that she loves Jaime, it would be better to say that she loves Jaime's face that looks exactly like her own.
The two siblings, known as the "golden twins", look almost identical, like male and female versions of "the same sculpture".
When they were young, the siblings would often swap clothes and pretend to be each other for a whole day, so even their father Tywin couldn't tell them apart.
When they were teenagers, the two broke through ethics and "fell in love" with each other, secretly maintaining a physical relationship that crossed the line.
Titus will never let such a woman enter House Peake and become the hostess of Starpike.
However, Tywin's move shocked him somewhat.
This Warden of the West is indeed a purely rational and experienced politician who can put aside everything and only pay attention to real interests.
Seeing that the power guarded by Dornish Marches was getting stronger day by day, he was able to let go of his original deep hostility and chose to act in a roundabout way, using marriage as a means and his daughter's inheritance as a temptation, trying to "get married and forget all grudges" with him.
Titus sighed secretly, as expected, these guys are not as famous as they are today, not just because of the legacy of their family.
Tywin is indeed a powerful character who brought House Lannister out of trouble. He is truly outstanding.
What he did when he led his family to turn around was similar to what he is doing now as Dornish Marches.
Power players who are almost as powerful as Tywin, or even comparable to them, are of course Highgarden's "Queen of Thorns"
Lady Olenna was the last one to send a letter, and as soon as he did it, he was a little reluctant.
In the letter, she didn't say any polite words, and directly promoted her and Duke Rose Tyrell's youngest daughter, Jenna Tyrell, who was also the biological sister of Mace·Tyrell who had been made to cry by Titus.
Titus couldn't help but sigh, Highgarden's supreme leader Olenna·Redwyne is also very sharp.
If it were him, he would definitely not have the so-called idea of "turning an enemy into a friend" like Lannister or House Tyrell, nor would he even have a similar thought in this direction.
"I don't have a choice, I really don't have a choice."
Titus rubbed his slightly swollen eyebrows, and when he looked at Wenda, he replied firmly, "Anyone among these people is a pitfall. As an adult, of course I choose - don't want any of them."
Upon hearing this answer, the guard captain's right eye flashed with a hint of imperceptible satisfaction, and his expression immediately relaxed.
Titus immediately wrote to reply to every proposal.
The words in the letter were polite and tactful. It not only expressed gratitude to the lords, but also declined all proposals for marriage one by one on the grounds that they had "no plans to get married yet."
Starpike Earl's reply was sent to various places.
Brightwater Keep Earl Allister·Florent seems to have understood the situation and no longer mentioned the marriage of his widowed daughter, and the communication with Titus returned to business.
The lion of Westerlands also withdrew his probing paw, and Casterly Rock and Starpike had no further correspondence since then.
On the contrary, Highgarden's "Queen of Thorns" is getting older and stronger, and still perseveres.
After her plan failed, the old lady came up with another one. She actually proposed in a follow-up letter:
It is intended that the family heir, Mace·Tyrell's eldest son Willas·Tyrell, who is only fourteen years old, come to Titus's castle to serve as a servant.
Obviously, she has not given up the idea of "changing the relationship" with House Peake.
Highgarden Want to reconcile?
Of course not.
Titus could see through the evil intentions behind this at a glance.
He is currently a flag of the Reach district, a tall and representative flag that stands on the opposite side of Highgarden. Behind the flag, stand all those who are dissatisfied with House Tyrell's rule in the southern region, which is the double-digit the Reach aristocratic group.
And Willas·Tyrell is not an easy person.
This is an outstanding heir who was able to speak eloquently in front of the Reach princes at the age of eight. Not to mention the true inheritance of Olenna·Redwyne, he must also be a smart person with a precocious mind. He is definitely not someone who can be easily deceived or brainwashed.
How could Titus be willing to destroy his character just for the sake of the name of Tyrell's heir?
Just a Willas, you want to collapse your house?
Are you kidding about the White Walkers? Mace·Tyrell is not the only son like this.
This time, Titus still chose to refuse without hesitation.
Not only that, he also asked Captain Wenda to secretly send people to publicize this matter, emphasizing his rejection of Willas, and confirming that there is no room for change between Peake of Starpike and Tyrell of Highgarden.
The positive effects of this move are still hidden.
The side effects appeared quickly:
Titus·Peake, who rejected Highgarden's successor, suddenly became "hot" as a servant.
At this time, Titus was not only "The Reach's dream of one hundred thousand Maiden", but also became the ultimate idol of many Seven Kingdoms's many noble children and young attendants.
He's on fire.
Belonging to the new generation, there is "Sword of the Morning" without "Dawn".
Letters carrying the expectations of young people from various families, along with the ravens in their castles, once again poured into the crow's nest of Starpike like snowflakes.
In the castle, Bachelor Greg, who was responsible for managing correspondence, quickly became so busy that he immediately handed over this task to his bachelor assistant in order to take a breather.
Titus has only had three attendants so far.
The first is the son of Baylan·Caron, Bryce·Caron;
The second is Evenfall Hall Earl's son, Gardon Tars, who brought back the legendary sword "Lady of Justice" for Tarth at the cost of almost losing his life;
The third one is High Hermitage knight Jero Dayne who failed to jump in line and wanted to call Little Caledon "senior".
In addition to Bryce who has inherited the title of Nightsong, the latter two are still learning and training with black Earl.
Titus is also very optimistic about the development of this "Gemini" pair.
The future "Twilight Stars" and "Dark Stars" will undoubtedly have the talent and opportunity to become top-notch swordsmen.
The aristocratic young men on the mainland all want to come to Dornish Marches to serve the black Earl, but we cannot say that they are wrong.
This place is really suitable for cultivating talents.
But this amount is indeed an exaggeration.
What can Titus do?
Of course, I asked the versatile Lady White Eagle to imitate his handwriting and reply to him politely.
Black Earl said hello and said that he would come back to use the ring and seal after she finished her work. Before the other party got angry, he evacuated East Study who was busy at work.
After sitting for a long time, he needs to activate his body----
If the Peake family's ethnic language is translated into vernacular, it means. "Who else! Who else dares to fight with me?"
Unexpectedly, there are really "stupid and bold" people who dare to take the initiative.
The same Qingbai Square.
Under the gaze of the same stone statue.
The same "crow scratching the heart" coat of arms.
House Corbray of Heart's Home sent someone again.
The coat of arms of House Corbray is "three flying crows on a white background, each flying crow holds a blood-red heart under its claws".
Their family has a long history in Vale. They were once the kings of the Fingers, but now they have gradually declined. Even the inherited family sword has become the favorite sword of the black Earl female secretary.
In order to recover the family's tile-steel sword, this time, they sent out three people.
Different from the challenger last time who was known as "House Corbray First Swordsman", among the three people who came this time, only one used a sword.
The other two have very different styles:
One is an offensive and defensive combination of a bolas and a shield, and the other uses a heavy, long-handled double-edged battle axe.
They may not even be "Corbray" - the armors and cloaks of the two people behind them don't have the coat of arms of House Corbray.
Titus, who wanted to move his body, smiled, but the person who came was not as cautious as the previous Corbray.
In other words, the last Corbray knight who returned to Vale safely gave them the illusion that "black Earl is easy to talk to".
After they entered the city, they did not ask for bread or salt——
