King's Landing, Red Keep, Tower of the Hand.
Tywin is sitting in his study, reading the recent information about the north.
"Luke·Stark became king in Winterfell, and House Bolton was destroyed. Edmure·Tully returned to Riverrun, and House Tully began to counterattack Lannister's remaining army in Riverlands..."
"Bang!"
He punched the desk with his fist, his eyes full of disappointment, "One or two, they are all trash."
Tywin supported Walder·Frey, but before the letter of knighthood was delivered, House Frey was slaughtered by Luke·Stark.
Then he followed the agreement and made Roose·Boton become Warden of the North. As a result, House Bolton was also destroyed by Luke·Stark.
"Dragon? Just a beast. The Westeros of today is no longer the Westeros of three hundred years ago."
Tywin quickly calmed down his anger and continued reading the information.
"More than a month ago, Stannis led the remaining troops and ships all the way north, and is now about to arrive at the Eastwatch-by-the-Sea... What are Stannis doing at the Wall? Do you want to recover Wildlings from Beyond the Wall?"
In fact, Stannis was also unlucky. After he decided to help Night's Watch fight against Wildlings and win the allegiance of the the North princes, he directly set off with the remaining 1,500 troops and took a boat to the Eastwatch-by-the-Sea in the Wall.
But while he was still on the road, Gary suddenly became the king of Winterfell. This left Stannis stuck. With no way out, he could only bite the bullet and keep moving forward.
Tywin has no time to think about Stannis's thoughts. He only hopes that Stannis can have some friction with Luke·Stark after the North lands, and both sides will consume each other's forces.
And his most important task now is to hold the wedding of Joffrey and implement the marriage between the king and House Tyrell.
After the wedding, the Reach and Westerlands will be able to successfully form an alliance, and Tywin's army will also reach an unprecedented number. An army of hundreds of thousands of people is enough to sweep everything.
In front of this Westeros most powerful coalition, what Dragon? What Magic? will all be vulnerable.
By the way, he is still thinking of ways to win the support of Dorne.
However, House Martell of Dorne has some grievances with House Lannister. It will take some effort for Tywin to successfully obtain the support of Dorne.
Lord Hand is busy forming an alliance with the Reach and has no time to pay attention to the petty quarrels in the north. He will pay attention, but will not really send troops to intervene.
"Dong dong dong..."
There was a knock on the study door.
Tywin put down the information and said, "Enter."
The door was opened by Gold Cloaks outside, and a girl wearing a veil walked into the study.
When the girl met Hand of the King alone for the first time, she was inevitably a little embarrassed, "Sir, are you looking for me?"
Tywin pointed to the wooden chair opposite the desk, "Sit."
The girl seemed to recall her "own" character. She sat down gracefully and said calmly, "Sir, if it is about the wedding, you should go to my grandmother to discuss it."
Tywin stared at her for a few seconds, "Miss Margaery, His Majesty the King has doubts about your appearance. I hope you can answer my next question directly. Also, please take off your veil."
Fake Margaery, Lynesse·Redwyne's eyes flashed with resentment. She took off her veil, revealing the hideous scar on her face.
The wound showed a strange crack, and the light cyan ointment was mixed with the brown blood scab, making it impossible to tell whether the wound was new or old.
Tywin just took a casual look and immediately noticed something was wrong, "This kind of wound does not look like it was caused by a poisonous insect bite..."
Lynesse clenched his fists, and the nails under his sleeves were deeply embedded in his flesh.
She bit her lip, swallowed the blood, and looked at Tywin with expectant eyes, "Sir, I have a secret to tell you, but I hope to get an equivalent reward."
Tywin didn't answer. He looked at Lynesse silently. After a long time, he asked, "What do you want?"
Lynesse choked with sobs, "I want to be the queen, Red Keep's queen!"
Tywin I thought it was some big deal, but this happened after a long time?
"You are the eldest lady of House Tyrell. Don't tell me that you only ruined half of your face. Even if you have no nose and eyes, I will let Joffrey marry you."
For the sake of the alliance between the two families, he doesn't care about Joffrey's feelings.
Lynesse seemed to have known the answer for a long time. She smiled miserably and said, "Sir, I mean that after putting aside House Tyrell's identity, you can help me get the position of queen of Red Keep."
Tywin tried to understand the meaning of Lynesse's words, and then replied, "You will be worthless without House Tyrell."
Lynesse's face suddenly turned pale, and she slumped down on the wooden chair, "I... understand."
Tywin can't help but wonder, what kind of rift does House Tyrell's eldest daughter have with her family? She actually desires to leave the family?
Moreover, what is the secret she wants to tell, and why does she want to tell it to herself? Is this secret related to Lannister?
"Unless... your secret is worth giving me Seven Kingdoms the position of queen."
Lynesse rekindled hope. She hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage, "I'm not Margaery·Tyrell!"
Tywin's pupils swayed slightly, and he asked with a normal expression, "You are not Margaery·Tyrell? Then who are you?"
Lynesse did not rush to answer, "If you want to know everything, please make a promise first."
Tywin stared at Lynesse with sharp eyes, and slowly said, "Your secret has this value, I will help you sit on the seat of Queen Seven Kingdoms."
"Seriously?"
Lynesse almost bit her tongue, she asked in surprise.
Tywin said unhurriedly, "Everyone knows that A Lannister Always Pays His Debts. is related to family honor. Since I promised you, I will definitely do it."
Lynesse got Hand of the King's promise and told the truth with confidence, "My name is Lynesse·Redwyne, and I am the daughter of Earl from Qingting Island. I am in Queen of Thorns Under the instruction of Olenna, she once married Renly·Baila Theon instead of Margaery."
"You have been pretending to be Margaery·Tyrell? Where is the real Margaery?" Tywin asked.
Lynesse quickly replied, "She was in a courtyard outside Highgarden. I saw her with my own eyes. Margaery·Tyrell seems to be in love. She is unwilling to sacrifice her marriage for the sake of her family and wants to marry the man she likes."
"Queen of Thorns couldn't persuade Margaery, so he locked her up and asked me to show up in Margaery's place. He said that when Margaery let go of that man, she would change identities with me."
"But Margaery still refuses to give up until now. Her three brothers seem to support her idea, and they often defended her when she was Highgarden. It is probably because of their persuasion that Queen of Thorns compromised. She came to King's Landing this time to break off the engagement."
When she said this, her voice gradually became sharper, "My face was ruined by her! She wanted His Majesty Joffrey to take the initiative to break off the engagement, so she cut my face with a poison-coated dagger, and then spread false news that Margaery had been disfigured."
Tywin then had a question, "Are you sure Margaery is still at Highgarden?"
"Of course, she is obsessed with Queen of Thorns, and Queen of Thorns didn't take her with him at all when he came to King's Landing this time."
Lynesse is very sure of this and guarantees it again and again.
Tywin asked again, "Who is the man Margaery likes? The North's Luke·Stark?"
The romantic story of Ice Wizard and Rose of Highgarden was widely spread in King's Landing, and Tywin also heard about it.
Lynesse once asked Olenna, Garlan and Loras, and the unified reply she received was, "Margaery likes a wandering poet, who seems to be Goldengrove's illegitimate son."
Tywin was also young, and he knew that boys and girls could easily be carried away by love, so he did not have too many doubts about Margaery's affairs.
"Any more?"
Lynesse finished telling everything he knew and shook his head, "No, but I can continue to help you find out."
Tywin stood up from his seat, "No hurry, you can go back first."
Now that Lynesse betrayed House Tyrell, she only had Tywin to rely on, "Sir, about the wedding..."
Tywin dipped his quill pen in ink and didn't know what he was writing. He said without raising his head, "As long as I am here, House Tyrell cannot cancel the engagement. You can wait for the wedding with peace of mind, and the queen's seat will be yours."
Yes, the queen of a day is also a queen.
Tywin only promised to let Lynesse sit on the throne of Queen Seven Kingdoms, but never said that she could sit down forever.
When House Tyrell picks up the real Margaery, there will be no need for this girl named Lynesse·Redwyne to exist.
