Chapter 220: The Lion of King's Landing

  Boom Boom Boom!

  "Little Devil" Tyrion Lannister was savouring the aroma of wine on Shae's lips when there was an urgent knock on the door.

  "Someone is looking for you, my lion." Shae smiled.

  "Leave them alone!" Tyrion felt her firm, small double breasts pressed against his chest, and he didn't want to deal with anything else.

  Shae chuckled and pushed the man away: "Go, my Lannister giant. Maybe it's something important."

  "In King's Landing, there's no lack of 'important things'. Sooner or later I will be bored to death!" Tyrion complained, but still put on a dress, and opened the door with two twisted short legs.

  Outside the door was the mercenary Bronn.

  However, since coming to King's Landing with Tyrion, this mercenary has been mixed up in the city's garrison, and now he is Bronn, the city guard.

  "What is it?" Tyrion asked angrily.

  "Her Majesty the Queen is back and is calling the imperial council, she also asked you to attend."

  "My sister is back?" Tyrion looked displeased, "but what right does she have to call the imperial council? She is no longer the regent."

  Indeed, now the regency of the kingdom has passed to the new king, Lord Tywin Lannister.

  Bronn shrugged: "I don't know. Anyway, your sister is looking for you, and she will love if you attend ."

Even if he put on a guard dress, Bronn still couldn't get rid of his unruly mercenary temperament, and Tyrion, the weird one, could bear such a wonderful subordinate.

  Tyrion really didn't want to talk to Cersei, but he didn't dare not go.

  Once Cersei went crazy, he didn't know what would happen.

  And now he has a weakness — Shae.

  Shae was a sorceress, and Duke Tywin hated sorceresses the most, not to mention that he brought that sorceress into the Red Keep.

  This should be hidden by his father, as he is afraid that the old things of Tysha will be repeated.

  Tysha was a farmer's daughter and Tyrion's ex-wife, but after being discovered by Duke Tywin, he told Tyrion that this woman was actually specially found by his brother Jaime to let him experience the relationship between men and women and is a brothel spawn.

  Then, Duke Tywin ordered the family guards to rape Tessa and paid her a silver stag for every guard who did.

Then Duke Tywin asked Tyrion to be the last one and gave Tessa a golden dragon. After all, Lannister is worth a lot.

  After that, Tyrion never dared to let his father know that he was with a woman.

  "Okay, wait a minute, I'll change." Tyrion returned to the room.

  While changing into decent clothes, he said to the woman on the bed:

  "Tomorrow I will arrange a place for you outside the Red Keep, Don't worry, I will visit you as soon as I have time."

  Shae suddenly sat up from the bed, The quilt slid down, revealing a large area of beauty on her chest, but her tone was not pleasant:

  "What do you mean? You want to abandon me?"

  "That's not what I meant..."

  "I thought you were different from others!"

Shae was on the verge of tears, "So I was wrong. You are nothing special, you just want to run away after you finish your deed!"

  "That's really not the case." Tyrion hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the woman, "I can't let father know of your existence..."

  "Yes, because I'm just a Courtesan!"

  "That's not it." Tyrion tried to explain, "Give me some time, please? I won't abandon you, I swear."

Finally coaxing the woman, Tyrion went out to Maegor's Tower.

  Bronn followed behind and reminded softly,

  "That's just a branch girl."

  "I know." Tyrion shrugged, "but who else would spread their legs for a dwarf like me, except for a branch woman."

  That said, but Tyrion was already cursing himself in his heart—

  What she loves is your money and your status. Be sober, how can a whore have love?

  "Help me find a house outside the Red Keep," Tyrion said to Bronn after thinking.

Knowing that he shouldn't be emotional with such a woman, he still couldn't control himself: "Somewhere closer to the Red Keep."

  Okay."

  Finally, at the meeting hall, Tyrion saw his sister Cersei and the two members, The master of -intelligence "The Spyder" Varys and the new Grandmaester.

  This new maester is a member of the Tyrell family. Although he gave up his secular surname after becoming a maester, anyone who really believes that these maesters have completely severed their ties with their family is the biggest fool in the world.

  The grand maester can be appointed and dismissed by the Citadel's representative, the conclave, and no one else had the right to intervene, but the Conclave sent such a person to King's Landing to replace the dead Pycelle, Tyrion could hardly believe that they had no ulterior motives.

  Are the rose impatient?

  "Why are you so slow!" Cersei looked at her younger brother with those beautiful green eyes.

  "My dear sister, don't you know that dwarves have short legs, so they can't walk fast."

Tyrion climbed unsteadily into his seat, "Where's uncle? Why didn't he come?"

"Why are you asking about him?" Cersei frowned, "Why call him? He is not a master."

  Tyrion wanted to say that you are also not a Queen, but he was worried about being beaten by his sister, so he said, "He was sent by father as the hand of the king."

  "I'm the one who runs King's Landing not Father!" cried Cersei.

  Tyrion rolled his eyes secretly but said nothing more.

  After all, there were outsiders present, and Tyrion didn't want to quarrel with his sister.

This would expose the internal conflicts of the Lannister family... But thinking about it carefully, it seems that it was never hidden.

Cersei was proud of her brother's silence. She raised her chin and asked,

"How many people in the Seven Kingdoms now support that false king, Stannis Baratheon?"

Tyrion snapped his fingers and said, "Eddard Stark in the North and his vassals are undoubtedly the most resolute in their support of Stannis, and Lord Hoster Tully of the Riverland has also expressed his support..."

"Is that old fish still alive!" Cersei gritted her teeth.

"It is said that he is dying." Tyrion shrugged and continued, "The young duke of the Vale has not expressed his opinion, but I guess, they will be attracted by Eddard Stark sooner or later.

Stormland is now very chaotic, especially after Father appointed a new Duke of Storm's End. There are all kinds of voices, but in name, they support us and Duke Mace in the Reach hasn't made a clear statement..."

"The 'almighty 'support us." Cersei said firmly, "Jaime has followed him to Highgarden, and he promised to drag that damned Caesar to King's Landing!"

"That's the best. With the support of the Reach, we have won 80%."

Tyrion whistled briskly, "As for Dorne, Prince Doran has already made a covenant with Father, so they are also on our side, but Sunspear urges us to hurry up and send Princess Myrcella Baratheon there ."

"No!" Cersei flatly refused, "My daughter will not marry into that ghostly place!"

Tyrion's eyes widened: "My good sister, but it's part of the agreement, you can't..."

"I say no!" Cersei leaned forward as if about to punch her brother, "Ask Doran for a different exchange."

Tyrion decided not to argue with her, When the father comes back, he will naturally make the lioness submit.

"So now our chief enemy is the wolf of the north?" Cersei concluded.

"You can say that. But don't forget the fish in the Riverlands and the eagle in the valley," Tyrion kindly reminded.

"Aren't the army of fish and eagle trapped in Dorne? What are you afraid of?"

And you still dare offend the Dorne! Tyrion cursed himself.

"The rivers and valleys can still gather a lot of troops, so don't be careless."

Tyrion said, "Now Eddard Stark is gathering troops near the Trident River, I guess he should be able to gather about 50,000 to 60,000 troops."

"The Trident?" Cersei finally began to panic. "Isn't that near King's Landing? Where is our army? Where is Father? Where is he now?"

"At Harrenhal."

"Why Harrenhal? Why not King's Landing?"

"My dear sister, it is wise for Father to garrison Harrenhal. It blocks the only way for the northern army to go south, and the two cities form horns..."

"What bullshit horns!" Cersei was furious,

"What if the rebels cross Harrenhal and attack King's Landing?"

"Then they are looking for their own death." Tyrion tried to use simple metaphors to make his sister understand, "Look, if the rebels come to attack King's Landing, the walls of King's Landing will be the chopping block, and Father's army at Harrenhal will be the hammer—bang!"

Tyrion clenched a fist with one hand and smashed it on the palm of the other: "The rebels will be smashed to pieces."

This time Cersei finally understood.

But she still persisted and shouted: "Then Father should put the main force in King's Landing!"

"The walls of King's Landing are stronger. With a little brain, they will attack Harrenhal first..."

"But King's Landing is more important! Why not let Harrenhal be the chopping block." Cersei always has a weird logic.

Tyrion felt extremely tired: "Then write a letter yourself and ask your father if he would like to come to King's Landing."

"Okay!" Cersei seemed a little guilty, so she added, "I will let the king order."

Is there anyone who cheats your son like you? Tyrion decided not to dwell on the matter.

How could Duke Tywin be recalled by an order of a nine-year-old king?

"By the way." Cersei suddenly came up with another brilliant idea, "Are Eddard Stark's two daughters in King's Landing? We can hold them hostage and force the North to retreat!"

"Those two little wolves... Long gone."

"What do you mean by gone?"

"Maybe they escaped."

"Escaped? Why can't you even hold two little girls!" Cersei was furious again.

"I'm the Master of Coins, not a nanny! I don't have time to look at two little girls all day long!"

Tyrion cried, and then looked at Varys, the chief intelligence officer who had been silent, with deep eyes, and said, "Even Varys, the doesn't know where they went."

Varys's fat face was full of innocence: "Before the incident in Skyreach City, the two ladies of the Stark family disappeared. At that time, I didn't give them much importance ."

"I guess Eddard Stark was already prepared! Damn, wolf!" Cersei said through gritted teeth.

Tyrion looked at Varys suspiciously, and said,

"Your little birds know exactly how many times I went to the latrine, but those two little wolves went missing, who are you kidding?"

Varys was even more aggrieved, and his fat hands were twisted together: "Lord Tyrion, you really wronged me.

I really don't know where those two girls went. I also don't think Her Majesty is wrong, the Stark family must have been prepared. If the Hand of the King wants to sneak two people away in King's Landing, no one can stop him"

"Okay."

Cersei decided to forgive him when she heard Varys' first words., "It's not a big deal if the two wolves of the Stark family run away. As long as father leads the army back to King's Landing, we are not afraid of that wolf at all."

Tyrion suddenly felt it might not be a bad thing for my father to return to King's Landing.

At least he can control this demon sister.
