Chapter 95 The Duke’s Name Day Banquet (Fourth update)

Duchess Ellery Hightower looked at Dickon's hurried away figure and couldn't help but said:

"Mother, there is no need for you to treat the Tully family like this, not to mention he is just a child."

"What do I need you to teach me?" Mrs. Olenna glared at her daughter-in-law, "Also, don't call me mother, I don't remember giving birth to you."

Mrs. Ellery lowered her head and sighed, cursing herself why she provoked the "Queen of Thorns" because she deserved to be stabbed.

"Grandma." Margaery hugged Lady Olenna's arm and said coquettishly, "Let me accompany you for a walk in the garden."

She is probably one of the few people who can make Lady Olenna turn her anger into happiness at any time.

"Okay, let's go for a walk, so that no one will think that I, an old hen, am getting in the way here."

Margaery helped the old lady out of the pavilion and walked in the garden full of flowers.

"Grandma, you seem unhappy to see Sam and the others winning the battle?"

…

"what?"

Seeing the strange look cast by his maternal uncle Colin Florent, the Tully boy was full of grievances and had nothing to say.

Colin Floren quickly stood up, saluted, and said with a smile: "Madam, you called me?"

Fortunately, Mrs. Olenna did not continue to entangle with him, and turned to Colin Florent:

"The Tyrell family was just the steward of the Reach King's castle at the beginning. After the Battle of Fire, all members of the Gardener family were burned to death by dragon flames, and we were able to inherit Highgarden. However, because of our lower origin, there have always been people who criticized us.

Not convinced.

Margery suddenly realized: "No wonder you care so much about Sam marrying a Florentine girl."

Especially the Florent family of Brightwater City!

Dickon Tarly was wearing a gray dress and was sitting quietly enjoying his dinner. From time to time, he used his peripheral vision to peek at the members of the Tyrell family on the main seat, especially Lady Olenna.

Colin smiled and explained: "My brother actually really wants to come to celebrate the Duke, but his health is not very good..."

Lady Olenna looked back at her granddaughter and said with a smile: "Go, my dear granddaughter, and use your charm to conquer Samwell Caesar. The noble lady needs a loyal and heroic knight."

Dickon could only stand up bravely: "Grandpa, he...he..."

Dickon's face suddenly stiffened.

Mrs. Olenna smiled and said: "This is a reasonable excuse. Dickon, have you learned?"

"I heard that Earl Allister has a beautiful and sensible granddaughter named Ello Florent?"

"Not only did I hear about it, I also want to get married to you."

Although he knew that his brother was planning to betroth the eldest granddaughter of the Florentine family to Samwell Caesar, how could a pioneering knight compare with the heir of Highgarden.

So a brainless guy like your father can still secure the position of Governor of the Reach and Duke of Highgarden.

"Ha!" Mrs. Olenna interrupted with a smile, "In the afternoon, a young guy just told me that Allister is in good health."

Of course it’s qualified!

"Dickon, isn't it?" Mrs. Olenna seemed unwilling to let this poor child go.

Colin immediately swallowed the words of rejection on his lips.

"Bullshit Lord's Law." Mrs. Olena rolled her eyes, "After this battle, that boy has actually controlled Starfall City and Gaoyin City. Do you think he is not worthy of a small baronship?"

Colin coughed lightly, and was about to find a reason to refuse, when he heard Mrs. Olenna say again:

"Now, he is my grandson Willas. Although he has a broken leg, he is a very good person, and he is a rare Tyrell with brains. Is he qualified to marry your Ello Florent?

"

"Sir Colin." Lady Olenna suddenly said.

After walking for a while, she suddenly said: "Grandma, I also want to go to Starfall City."

When Margery heard this, the expression on her face was a little complicated: "They... shouldn't be against us, right?"

Margaery was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Dickon Tully's visit to Highgarden had such a hidden meaning. At the same time, she began to understand her grandmother's worries.

To this day, he still has lingering fears about that afternoon conversation.

Fortunately, Mrs. Olenna didn't pay any more attention to him, and Dickon kept a low profile, not wanting to cause any more trouble.

If there was a hole in the ground at this time, he would get into it immediately.

"Madam, I will bring your wishes back to Liangshui City."

Margery reminded: "But grandma, the castle on Yingzui Island has not been built yet. According to the lord's law..."

Night falls.

Poor Dickon didn't know how to answer. Did he learn it? Or didn't he learn it?

The banquet hall in High Court was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

Now Dickon also reacted, and he wanted to slap himself in the mouth.

However, we must also be wary of other families using the same method to deal with us."

Do you think everything that old guy Allister said was a joke?

The Riverbend is the richest area in the Seven Kingdoms, but because of this, there are too many ancient and powerful families here. It is so difficult to make them all obedient!

Why did I go to great lengths to facilitate an intermarriage between Tyrell, Redwyne, and Hightower? It wasn't because as long as our three families formed an alliance, we could subdue any other Riverbend family.

"I will handle the marriage." Lady Olenna spoke again, "Dorne should send people to negotiate. We, the Tyrell family, can no longer remain silent. Tell your brother Garland and let him represent Gao Lan.

Please go to Starfall City. Before you go, remember to ask your father to sign an order conferring Samwell Caesar the title of Baron of Eagle's Beak."

To celebrate the Duke of Metz's fiftieth name day, all the Riverbend families sent important figures to attend.

"Well, why isn't your brother, Earl Allister, here? I haven't played chess with him for a long time, and I really miss him."

Fortunately, the experienced Colin Floren came to his rescue: "Madam, my brother was in good health when he was at home, but he couldn't bear the long journey, so he sent me to replace him."

Mrs. Olenna did not answer immediately. She took her granddaughter and continued along the winding path until no one was around, then she spoke again:

"How could I not be happy to see the Riverbend people win?" Lady Olenna shook her head and sighed, "I'm just worried about what's behind this victory."

Unfortunately, sometimes the more you try to hide, the more trouble will come to your door.

"Who knows?" Lady Olenna sneered, "This time Randyll Tarly sent his heir to Highgarden, actually just to reassure us, but this still cannot change Horn Hill - Brightwater City -

The fact that the Yingzui Island Alliance has been able to threaten us. When the sword in your hand is sharp enough, it will be difficult for people to remain calm."

Colin raised his eyebrows, seeming to realize something. He couldn't help but glance at Dickon and said:

"Yes, ma'am. I didn't expect you to have heard of her name."

Margaret said no more.

"Yes." Mrs. Olenna did not hide her worries in front of her granddaughter, "I believe you have seen the combined power of the three families of Horn Hill, Brightwater City, and Yingzui Island. How badly the Dornish people were beaten.

Moreover, the knight you personally sealed will soar to the sky after this battle! This alliance will probably include Star Falling City and Gaoyin City in the future. Such strength is enough to compete with us."

"Okay, I look forward to your reply." Mrs. Olenna finally smiled.

Colin Floren also sat down with satisfaction.

Only Dickon was still standing there stupidly, his heart filled with regret and self-blame——

I seem to have accidentally lost my brother’s wife…

what to do?
