"Stop talking nonsense, Tyrion!"
Then, another voice came. "Don't forget, you are my brother!"
"I finally came back from that hellish place in the Riverlands. It doesn't matter that you didn't come to see me right away. Now I'm asking you to do a small favor and you're still trying to push me away!"
"A little favor?"
"You call a bathtub of Gold Dragon a little busy?"
"Do you know how much Gold Dragon is needed to fill an entire bathtub? At least 10,000!"
"Damn... Do you think I can pull gold out of my butt like our father, Master Lord Commander of the Kingsguard!"
In response to his protest, another voice threatened frivolously. "I have discussed this matter with my father, and he agreed, unless you want to go against his wishes, Tyrion."
"Besides, when did we Lannister become so poor that we can't even afford ten thousand Gold Dragon?"
"When you spent a lot of money in the brothel, I never stopped you."
"Shit! Shut up, James!"
"Ten thousand Gold Dragon, even if I live in a brothel until I die, I still won't be able to spend that much money!"
The two of them walked into the room exchanging words. Adam Malbrandt raised his head and saw James wearing a white robe of the Kingsguard. He was stunned, his mouth was slightly open, and he didn't react for a while.
"Why, don't you recognize me?"
James raised his eyebrows and grinned at him. "Your Excellency Malbrand Commander."
"Holy Seven! Jaime!"
Adam almost jumped up with excitement, walked around the desk, strode forward, opened his arms excitedly, and gave James a solid hug.
The armors on the two men collided and made a crisp sound.
"You lucky guy!"
"I knew you wouldn't die that easily. If Lord Tywin hadn't been against it, I would have brought an elite force to rescue you from that hellish place!"
As the eldest son of Earl in Branded City, Adam was sent to Casterly Rock to work as a page for Duke Tywin since he was a child. It can be said that he grew up with Jaime as a companion.
The two have similar temperaments, they are both knights who advocate bravery and straightforward personalities, and their relationship is extremely deep.
It is a pity that during the Battle of the Whispering Forest, Adam, as the captain of the Lannister cavalry, was sent to the Red Fork to confront Edmure Tully's main force, and was unable to fight alongside Jaime. Only later did he learn that he was captured.
Now that he saw that James was safe and sound, he was showing his true feelings.
"Hey! Hey! Ladies!"
At this time, Tyrion, who was standing aside and less than half a person tall, spread out his hands. His unique figure stood out next to the two tall knights.
"Haven't you noticed there's still someone here, even if he's only half a person?"
"Oh, look~~~" After hearing this, the two of them separated, with a narrow smile on Adam's mouth.
Suddenly he bent down, picked up Tyrion without any explanation, and held him under his armpit.
"Dear Minister of Finance, have you brought me any money? My brothers are in arrears with their wages for three months. When do you plan to pay them?"
"There is money! It will be available soon!"
Tyrion's short legs kicked wildly in the air. "Put me down quickly, Adam!"
"I'm going to vomit! I'm warning you, I'm really going to vomit and vomit all over you. Your beautiful armor will not be easy to wash by then!"
He pretended to be vomiting, but Adam didn't take it at all. Instead, he knocked Tyrion upside down and threatened. "You say this every time, you must pay today, otherwise I will sell you to Silk Street to work as a Tyrion male prostitute!"
Having said that, everyone can see that Adam made a very measured move.
He and Jaime are both seven years older than Tyrion, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have watched this boy grow up.
Everyone in Casterly Rock knew that Lord Tywin hated Tyrion's second son, but someone with a bold and open-minded personality like Adam didn't care.
He admired Tyrion's wit and occasional kindness that was inconsistent with his extremely ugly appearance, and the relationship between the two was quite good.
"Okay Adam, please spare him."
Seeing that Tyrion actually started to pick his throat, Jaime smiled and stretched out his hand to stop him, "Our Chancellor of the Exchequer has been driven crazy by the empty treasury and countless debts recently, and he always complained to me along the way."
After hearing James' words, Adam glanced down at Tyrion, whose face was red, laughed, and put him down.
However, while Tyrion was busy arranging his expensive, wrinkled coat, Adam's eyes happened to glance at Jaime's right hand.
"Your hands... James."
The smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his voice deepened. "Who did it?"
"The man who cut it down is dead."
James shrugged indifferently. "That's a long story..."
"I have a lot of time to listen to you."
Faced with James' prevarication, Adam had an extremely serious expression, and his eyes were full of concern.
After returning to King's Landing, he encountered problems with Cersei and his father one after another, and felt sulky. This kind of direct concern made Jaime feel warm in his heart.
"Thank you, Adam, really."
He grinned and said sincerely, "But I don't have time to elaborate now. I came to you because I hope you can do me a favor."
"Just say it."
"I wanted to find a friend." Jaime said, "He saved my life, but after returning to King's Landing, we were temporarily separated."
"He said he would come to the Red Fort to visit my father in the evening, and my father also asked to see him by name."
"But the strange thing is that it's almost dark now and I haven't gotten any news about him. I'm a little worried because he never breaks his promise."
"Give me a name."
Adam didn't say any nonsense, patting his chest. "I promise, Lord Tywin will definitely be able to see him tonight!"
Hearing this, James smiled.
"His name is Vito·Corleone, and he is the Doctor."
"Vito·Corleone, right?"
Adam nodded, immediately turned around and ordered to Humphrey Waters, who had been standing respectfully beside him. "Inform all the golden robes, put down all unimportant things at hand, and do their best to search for this Lord Vito·Ke Lyon in the city!"
"I want to hear about him before dark!"
"Yes, sir!"
"And!" Adam thought for a moment, then added, with an impatient tone. "Go tell Swen Rossby, stop wasting your fucking manpower. If the Prime Minister delays business again, I will skin him!"
"Whether it's Flea Bottom or Arena, let me put it aside and let him get rid of that Rorge thing quickly!"
"Yes!"
Humphrey answered again and was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait!"
At this moment, James suddenly spoke up, stretched out his hand to stop him, then turned to Adam, his eyes became sharp. "Did you just say...Rorge?"
