The two brothers reunited after a long absence, and what they said was naturally not suitable for others to listen to, especially now that the entire city has the surname Lannister.
The Commander-in-Chief of the City Guard, Janos Sterling, respectfully withdrew from the room.
Tyrion looked at Genos's retreating back, shook the red wine glass in his hand slightly, the crystal clear liquid exuded the mellow aroma of alcohol, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, and then said.
"This is a good dog."
"Really? James."
The white-robed knight also looked in the direction of the door after hearing Tyrion's words, and then nodded silently.
"Um."
Janos Sterling is greedy and has brought chaos to the entire city guard, but he has one advantage, that is, he is obedient, and it is this advantage that allows him to maintain his current position and be reused.
"But even the most loyal dog will bite its owner when it's about to starve to death."
Tyrion sneered and said as if he meant something.
"What?"
Jaime Lannister frowned slightly when he heard this. Since he was not a fool, he could naturally tell what Tyrion meant.
Now that the Targaryen army is approaching the city, King's Landing has temporarily summoned many mercenaries and free knights to help defend the city, and captured strong men to expand its army, but it is still far from enough.
That's a giant dragon.
The girl who narrowly escaped from King's Landing back then now rode a bronze dragon and led an army to surround King's Landing by sea, land and air. At that time, Jaime Lannister also climbed the city wall to see the dragon with his own eyes.
"Tyrion, what do you mean?"
The handsome blond knight tilted his head slightly and asked suspiciously, but was interrupted by Tyrion waving his hand.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, James."
"Let's talk about something serious."
Tyrion avoided talking about Janos Sterling and changed the subject to talk about what happened not long ago.
When this topic came up, Tyrion picked up the flagon and filled himself up with a glass of wine, then drank it all and smacked his lips.
Then he told the story of how he followed his father to the front line of Carlin Bay and was abandoned by his father.
He narrowly escaped death in the Wildfire explosion and wandered aimlessly in the North. He was finally rescued by a group of soldiers who were separated during the Battle of Winterfell, including Benjen Stark.
Their group was entrusted by a person who had a mysterious power and called himself the "Green Prophet" to go find Viserys. The other party seemed to want to see Viserys, but for some reason he was unable to do so.
Unable to go in person
Tyrion followed this group of people and found several small boats from the northern border, where the ice and snow had completely turned into a dead zone. Due to lack of information, they rowed all the way to Dragonstone Island.
But Viserys was not here at all. They were regarded as spies and were arrested by the soldiers of the Golden Company, and they met the eldest princess Rhaenys.
Because he wanted to live, Tyrion knelt down in front of Rhaenys and surrendered to the Targaryen family, and promised to serve as king for the princess.
Tyrion then followed the Targaryen army to King's Landing. When he smuggled into the city through the Mud Gate, he was caught by the golden robe, and then there was the scene where the brothers met.
And James was slightly stunned when he heard Tyrion finish telling these ups and downs of the story. Tyrion's life during this period was simply more exciting than the story.
"how so"
He didn't want to believe that his father actually wanted to kill his younger brother.
What he didn't want to believe even more was that Tyrion told him so openly that he had surrendered to that eldest princess and that he would win King's Landing for her.
"I know that you made such a promise because you were forced to do so."
The handsome blond knight was silent for a moment, and then finally spoke.
"No."
However, Tyrion shook his head and spoke in a faint voice. He picked up the wine glass again and took a sip of the wine in the glass.
James's eyes suddenly condensed slightly, his handsome face showed an expression of unwillingness to believe, and then he couldn't help but ask.
"Why? Tyrion!"
"Isn't it a promise you were forced to make because you had no choice but to survive? This kind of promise cannot be counted."
"Are you sure you can defend King's Landing?"
At this moment, Tyrion suddenly interrupted his brother, put down his glass and asked.
James was startled for a moment, then opened his mouth, but suddenly found himself speechless.
Tyrion looked at James who suddenly didn't know what to say. He paused briefly, then continued to ask, repeating the question he just asked.
"Are you sure you can defend King's Landing? James."
"Under the dragon's flames..."
"Although I have not personally witnessed how Viserys defeated the White Walkers, I have seen how the White Walkers destroyed humans."
"The burning fires were extinguished, the muddy swamps were leveled, all attributed to the Night King, who was more terrifying than a god I could have imagined, and people were killed by the White Walkers and then rose again, and so on."
Tyrion's low voice echoed in the room, but James, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted his brother's words and spoke in a slightly higher tone.
"But I will die!"
Jaime Lannister looked at Tyrion with sharp eyes, raised his hand and made a beheading gesture.
"You know, Tyrion, I killed his father!"
"I killed his father!"
"No matter why I did it, do you think he will listen to my explanation?"
The blond knight's emotions were slightly out of control.
On the surface, he seems not to care about the title of 'Kingslayer', but in fact it is one of the biggest stains in his life.
"And, Cersei, Cersei may also suffer the same fate as me."
After hearing his words, Tyrion was silent for a long time, then sighed, shook his head and spoke.
"That's what you want to say, James."
"You care about Cersei more than you care about yourself."
The white-robed knight was silent, pressing the hilt of his sword with one hand, his fingers turning slightly white.
Then James didn't say anything more, but pushed the table and stood up from the chair.
"In that case, Tyrion, you will stay here during this period."
"I have asked Renly Baratheon at Storm's End for help. The reinforcements from the Stormlands are on the way. Whether they are dragons, barbarians or that brat, I will prove to you that I can defeat them."
When he mentioned Viserys, James couldn't help but think of the second prince who was put on a carriage and sent out of King's Landing more than ten years ago.
It was he who personally led the boy into the carriage and escorted the motorcade out of King's Landing before returning.
Viserys's eyes were filled with 'he knows what happened', he knew everything.
But he didn't cry like a seven-year-old child. Instead, he tried hard to control his emotions, making him look calmer, but occasionally he still showed panic that he couldn't hide.
It is for this reason that Jaime was deeply impressed by Viserys at that time.
But he didn't expect that more than ten years later, the boy he sent away personally came back and wanted to take his life.
James pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, turned around and wanted to leave after saying this.
He wanted to look like he was walking smartly and confidently, just like that kid back then, but he didn't expect that the chair legs would become an obstacle for him.
Bang
James tripped and almost fell down, looking a little embarrassed, but he still left here without looking back.
Tyrion, on the other hand, had a dark look in his eyes and said nothing. He picked up the wine glass from the table and watched his brother leave.
It seems that this result has been expected for a long time, and James will not surrender easily.
