Chapter 219 How big is my gap!
But Cersei is not the only one who is watching Tyrion and plotting.
Varys stared at Tyrion as well.
Although he failed to stop Oberyn in the end, Tyrion was spared the death penalty.
But when he saw that Tyrion was actually losing his mind for Shae, he came up with a new idea.
Shae was a very good tool, and with his secret manipulation, Shae successfully got into Tywin's bed.
The first step is completed.
Later, Varys found Tyrion, who was still living in a dim room and had long been stripped of his position as chancellor of the finance ministry.
"Congratulations, Lord Tyrion, you have saved the city, and I know the Seven will bless you."
Tyrion glanced at Varys, then shook his head and smiled, "I'm not an adult now.
And from your accusation in court, I don't think you think the Seven Gods will bless me.
So to cut a long story short, what do you want from me?"
Tyrion is now confused and frightened. Although he won the trial by combat, it does not mean that he is safe.
He is powerless now, with only Podrick and the unreliable Bronn by his side.
Cersei was always watching him, like a poisonous snake, eager to kill him.
Varys' eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said with a sympathetic tone:
"Lord Tyrion, I had no choice but to identify me at that time. You are so smart, you must understand me.
I come to you now because I think a hero like you should not die in a dirty power struggle.
I know all you want is what you deserve, but prejudice is as heavy as a mountain that you can't move no matter what.
So why don't you seek development elsewhere and then use your wisdom to take it all back? "
Varys' words made Tyrion a little moved. If possible, he certainly wanted to take revenge on those ungrateful beasts.
But then he became a little discouraged, "I am just a smarter dwarf. Without the protection of Lannister, it is a luxury for me to survive."
"You are just waiting to die in King's Landing. The Queen Mother is watching you all the time. Why don't you try other ways out?"
Varys mercilessly pointed out Tyrion's current situation.
As long as Tyrion remains within the Iron Throne's sphere of influence, Cersei will keep an eye on Tyrion.
Until the moment Tyrion revealed his flaw, he would kill him directly.
Tyrion was not stupid. He looked at Varys and said directly, "Just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush."
Varys coughed lightly. "If you want to survive now, you can only go to places that the Iron Throne cannot control, such as the North, Dorne, and Essos."
"Although Oberyn won the trial by combat for you, he also became a blind man. They don't like the Lannisters, so you don't have to consider Dorne."
"Besides that, there are only Essos and the North. Essos is too far away. If you go there, you will be unfamiliar with the place and will most likely be sold to a circus."
"If you think about it this way, you can only go to the North and join the Poseidon family."
Tyrion glanced at Varys, who was originally planning to go to the North.
This was also the way out that Jaime found for him, to go to the North, carry a cart of gold and live in anonymity.
Fortunately, he didn't have to join the Night's Watch. After all, he was the winner of the trial by combat, and the false charge of regicide did not fall on him.
But there is no need for Tyrion to join the Poseidon family, as they are the mortal enemy of the Iron Throne.
If a Lannister like him went over there rashly, he would most likely be dragged down and chopped off as a sacrifice without a word.
"I can stay in the North incognito. The North is huge, so there is no need to join the Poseidon family.
And they don't necessarily need me, I'm just a dwarf from the Lannister family."
Varys shook his head and said softly, "Lord Tyrion, with your wisdom, you can definitely serve as the Prime Minister. No matter where you are, your talents will not be buried.
In my opinion, your abilities are no less than your father's, but you are more kind than your father.
Besides, don't you want to take revenge on the nobles of King's Landing?
You saved their lives, but they didn't show any gratitude and even accused you.
Even the woman you love is like this!"
Varys's gentle words really irritated Tyrion.
Tyrion also knew that Varys was goading him.
Varys succeeded.
He didn't know what Varys' purpose was, but what Varys said was like thorns piercing his heart.
How big was his fall? From Prime Minister to Prisoner!
When he was acting Prime Minister, he was extremely powerful and everyone was manipulated by him. He had the final say.
Admittedly, he offended many people, but one thing is beyond doubt, he was trying to save the city and save their humble lives.
But all this changed after my father came back, and his achievements in defending the city were obscured.
Later, when he went to ask for a reward, he was humiliated again, and in the end he only got the position of Minister of Finance, which was a thankless position.
In the end, he was almost hanged on a trumped-up charge of regicide, and even Shae, whom he thought was his true love, betrayed him.
So he wanted to take revenge on those people, every one of them!
Including Tywin and Shae!
Considering this, joining the Poseidon family might really be a very good choice.
Tyrion is quite confident in his abilities, as long as he is given a chance.
At least during his tenure as acting prime minister, he fully demonstrated his worth.
Varys was very satisfied when he saw the change in Tyrion's expression.
Step 2, done.
