Chapter 145 You don't think I'll really let you marry that little bastard, do you?
After Joffrey's death, before the funeral was completed, the new king Tommen Baratheon was placed on the throne by Tywin.
Compared to his brother Joffrey Baratheon's cruelty and tyranny, Tommen Baratheon's weak character is obviously more popular with everyone.
So there was only one person who was sad about Joffrey's death, and that was Cersei Lannister, Joffrey's mother.
Even Joffrey's real father, Jaime Lannister, was not very sad. Joffrey's personality was really not something Jaime liked.
Jaime even forced his own sister Cersei to give birth to a baby next to Joffrey's spirit tablet.
Of the three children, Jaime's favorite is the youngest, Myrcella Baratheon.
But Myrcella Baratheon's life or death is now unknown. We only know that she is in the hands of the Blackfyre descendant who raised an army in the north.
After Joffrey's funeral, Tyrion was tried, and Cersei was eager to kill Tyrion.
Although Tyrion is Cersei's younger brother, Jaime is the only one in the entire Lannister family who treats Tyrion as a relative.
Even their father Tywin Lannister had the idea of killing Tyrion, and this time he finally had the chance.
In fact, Tywin doesn't like Tyrion just because he is a dwarf. It is said that the Mad King Aerys often summoned Tywin's wife alone.
Then she died during childbirth of Tyrion. In addition, Tyrion was a dwarf. If it were not for the protection of morality and law, Tywin would have thrown Tyrion into the Sunset Sea to feed the sharks.
In fact, Tyrion does look a bit like the Mad King's offspring. He has one black eye and one green eye, and long straight hair that is almost blonde, with some characteristics of Targaryen blood.
And in the American TV series, Tyrion released the dragon in the basement of the pyramid, and the dragon did not hurt Tyrion, but was quite cooperative.
We can see some clues from here, but no one knows what the truth is.
No one would know what Iris did when he summoned Joanna alone.
However, what Tywin needs to solve most at the moment is not the trial of Tyrion, but the current ambiguous attitude of the Rose of Highgarden.
After Joffrey's death, Tywin wanted Tommen Baratheon to marry Margaery Tyrell so that the alliance could continue.
But Olenna's reply to him was that Margaery loved Joffrey deeply and had not yet gotten over it, so she decided to return to Highgarden to recuperate.
This gave Tywin a very bad feeling, but fortunately Loras Tyrell remained in King's Landing, preparing to marry Cersei Lannister, but only after Tyrion's trial.
Rose Avenue, Bitterbridge Township.
The main force of Highgarden was resupplying here. Margaret was staring blankly with her cheek in her hand. She had been like this for half an hour.
"What are you thinking about, my dear light of Highgarden." Olenna looked at Margaery with a smile.
"I have always wanted to be a queen, and I have put a lot of effort into it. But you see, my first husband was a homosexual and died from shadow magic; my second husband was cruel and was poisoned to death at his own wedding, and I am still the bride."
Margaery had a worried look on her face. For the first time, she felt that her dream of becoming queen was just an illusion that could be shattered at any time.
Olenna looked at Margaery and knew that she was a little discouraged. Her granddaughter had been a favored child since she was a child. She was called the Rose of Highgarden, the Light of Highgarden, and the most beautiful rose.
From childhood to adulthood, Margery had hardly suffered any setbacks.
However, Olenna believes that Margaery will not be discouraged by this, but will learn more from the setback.
"Why, Highgarden Rose has given up on herself?"
Olenna went on: "Your eldest brother, Willas, is studious, well-educated, gentle and courteous. He is also known for keeping the finest falcons, hounds, and horses in the Seven Kingdoms."
"But one of his legs was broken in the duel with Oberyn. Although he is still the heir to Highgarden, he cannot be the face of Highgarden."
"As for Loras, his skill of swallowing a sword is almost known to everyone, let alone his ability to swallow a sword."
"But you, Margaery, are famous for your charm in the Seven Kingdoms. You are young, beautiful, and wise. You can definitely become one of the pillars of the Tyrell family."
Margaery bit her lower lip lightly and said worriedly, "But after Joffrey's death, Tywin Lannister ordered the entire city to be blocked to search for Sansa and the murderer who poisoned her. If we leave now, won't he become suspicious of us?"
"I'm afraid Tywin Lannister won't allow me to become Tommen Baratheon's queen."
Olenna smiled and shook her head, holding Margaery's hand and said, "Tywin mentioned your marriage to Tommen to me, but I refused."
Margaret was stunned and said uncertainly: "Is it because of the Black Flame Dragon Rider in the North?"
"Some of it, but not all. Do you remember the language of the Tyrell family?"
"Eternal life!" Margaret would certainly not forget.
"Yes, there is endless life, but if you want endless life, you must have enough judgment, and eggs should not be placed in a cage. The marriage between Loras and Cersei is enough. The current situation is not worth it for you to marry the Lannisters."
Olenna stared into Margaery's eyes and suddenly said meaningfully, "And you don't really think your grandmother would let you marry a little beast?"
"." Margaret widened her brown eyes slightly, and when she thought about what her grandmother said before her marriage, she suddenly understood something.
Olenna patted Margaery's hand, signaling Margaery not to be discouraged. There will always be opportunities, but the prerequisite is to choose opportunities on the right path.
If the Lannisters cannot destroy the Blackfyre and Targaryen in the North before the dragons grow up, no amount of troops will be of any use facing four adult dragons.
During the War of Conquest, King Menn IX Gardener and all his sons were burned to death by dragon flames during the Battle of the Field of Fury, and the Gardener family was destroyed.
Harlan Tyrell, steward of the King of the Reach, offered Highgarden to the Conqueror, in exchange for which Aegon gave both Highgarden and the Reach to the Tyrell family and named them "High Lords of the Reach".
Olenna knew very well how the Tyrells came to be the guardians of the Reach, and the fighting power of dragons was clearly recorded in the history books of the Tyrells.
The Blackfyre in the North didn't bring any soldiers with him, but he used his dragon to defeat the wildlings and brought all the wildlings and the Night's Watch under his command.
Perhaps it won't be long before the Bolton family in the North will all die in the dragon flames just like the Gardener family did in the past.
It was precisely because of these concerns that Olenna gave up the idea of siding with the Lannister family too early, and only allowed Loras to marry Cersei.
In this way, no matter whether the Dragon family wins or the Lion family wins in the future, their Rose family can protect themselves.
