Chapter 224: War against the Lannisters and new killers

As for Tywin, he had almost given up since his losses were uncountable. After Jon Clinn destroyed the Lannister's army to the very end, it seemed Tywin had lost his soul.

After the wedding matters ended, Edward launched a full attack on Westerlands. Not only did he send one army for the attack, but he sent three at one go.

Each army had about thirty thousand men led by Stannis Baratheon, Axel Baratheon, and Jon Clinn. No one wanted to miss this chance to end the Lannister rule over Casterly Rock and Lannisport.

Oberyn Martell and his children participated personally after leading the armies of Dorne to swear their loyalty to Edward. Since Edward promised Oberyn and Dorne that they would get the chance to release their anger against the Lannister, he had to keep his word.

And Edward allowed Oberyn to be the second in command in his son's army that was going to reach Casterly Rock much earlier than the others.

What Edward found confusing was Raymont's demand before the war. Raymont asked Edward that he wanted Loras to go with Axel's army, which confused Edward greatly.

If he did not witness Raymont's and Axel's preference, he would have thought that Raymont or Axel had fallen for that idiot, Loras.

What was more surprising to Edward was Olenna's condition. After a month and a half after the wedding, the woman fell into a coma. And no one managed to figure out what was wrong with her.

Only one person did, though. But he was Edward's man and did not tell anyone else about what he found. Qyburn did find why Olenna was like that, and he informed Edward that she got poisoned and there was a way to save her. After some thought about this matter, Edward decided against it and decided to let the woman die.

Edward thought it had something to do with Raymont or Oberyn since those two were good at using poison, but he did not care any further since he did not care about her.

As for Axel and Margaery, they had a nice wedding and spent some time together, although her look towards Edward did not change for a bit, and she even got bolder in her actions. She even started making moves on Edward when no one was around. Her husband, Axel, had gone to the war, and she decided to use this chance to seduce Edward.

Edward was a man, after all, and although he did not like the girl, he would get excited down there. His favorite bitch, Jaesella, grew old and did not suit him any longer, but he could find another to use to release his frustration.

But after her grandmother: the only one who supported Margaery, had fallen ill, Margaery did not try to act boldly as she did before since she knew that her grandmother was the one who would save her if anything had happened.

It was during this time that Edward's youngest son and Arya were going to come out. The period of their training with the faceless men should end any time now. And Edward was waiting for their news.

It had been almost three years since everything started, and it was time for them to come out to witness the new world that Edward built for them.

Edward was reading a letter while waiting for Wilyam and Arya to arrive. The letter said that Tywin made his decision and decided to abandon the Westerlands.

Well, Edward foresaw that, especially after Tywin lost his army that he prepared there. Plus, many lords decided to abandon Tywin to save themselves and their houses since they knew what Edward did to those who fought against him. That alone made it difficult for him.

At the moment, Tywin only had about twenty-seven thousand men with another four thousand golden cloak in King's Landing. Tywin's forces were shrinking more and more, and he could not even keep his hometown.

Tywin had already predicted that something like that might happen and tried to take the gold and riches in Casterly Rock with him, but in the end, Edward's spies knew about what he was preparing and informed Edward.

Would Edward leave this free pie to Tywin?? Of course, he would not, and he did not wait to intercept Tywin's men. In the end, Tywin got nothing.

Although Edward's plan was going smoothly and his armies managed to take the south of Westerlands to Casterly Rock, the lords in the North refused to surrender. They used the mountains to their advantage to defend, which made things a little difficult for the armies.

But Edward estimated that it was a matter of time before everything ended. After seeing Wilyam and Arya and telling them what they had to do, he planned to visit the Vale to take it from the bitch and her lover.

Edward would not leave it to those guys and would not let them live any longer, especially after Baelish tried to support the Lannister since he thought Edward was a bigger threat to his plans than anyone else. Unfortunately for him, every house in the Vale supported Edward's claim to the throne, and unless he wanted them to rebel against House Arryn and kill him and the bitch, he had to think of something else.

At this time, two teenagers entered the hall, a girl and a boy. Edward knew those two quite well, but their expressions were much different than before. Edward himself wanted to learn from the faceless men, but after knowing what Arya went through in the other timeline, he dismissed this idea.

"Looking good, you two!!!" Said Edward as he looked at the two of them, who had expressionless faces as they looked at him.

"You knew what they were going to put us through, right?" Asked Wilyam, who lost his cheerful tone after the torture he experienced on the faceless men's hands. Although it did not reach the hate stage yet, Wilyam wanted to punch his father's face for throwing him into those fanatics' hands.

As for Arya, she took it easier since Edward helped her train and kept his word. Although the process was not to her liking, she was sure that she was strong enough to protect herself and her loved ones from this point.

"Of course, I knew. It is a little different than my training, but it was the most suitable for you. At least, I won't have to worry about you if you wanted to travel to the west this time." Said Edward as he looked at the two with a smile. But when he looked at Arya, he was lost since he did not know how to bring the matter of her family's death.
