However, Tyrion is such a mature person. He was a mature person when he was young, not to mention he has gone through so many experiences.
He could see the faint displeasure on Mrs. Jenny's face at a glance.
In fact, this is normal. If he is the Lord of Casterly Rock and a prince suddenly comes over and wants to marry his daughter, he will need to think twice.
What's more, now is the key point in the battle for the throne. The eldest prince, Horos Targaryen, has gained an overwhelming advantage, at least on the surface, it can be seen.
"Mrs. Jane, with all due respect, may I call you this?"
In this world, strangers are generally called by their surname, and calling them by their first name is a sign of intimacy.
And Tyrion's conversational skills are naturally extraordinary, and he can quietly bring the relationship closer to each other just through the details of his words.
Jeyne Westerling heard Tyrion's words and nodded slightly.
"I understand your concerns now, Lady Jane."
"If Miss Bessani can be happy with His Highness Yin Meng, it will naturally be a beautiful marriage."
"A marriage between the noble House Toyne and the greatest house the world has ever known, the Targaryens."
"But it just so happens that now doesn't seem to be the right time?"
Tyrion stood in the great hall of Casterly Rock and talked.
This place used to be his home, but now Tyrion comes as a guest, but there is no strange look on Tyrion's face.
He saw through Mrs. Jenny's inner concerns, and then spoke bluntly, exposing the other party's thoughts. Mrs. Jenny's face suddenly felt slightly embarrassed.
Because if in another time period, the world was peaceful and Bethany Toyne could marry into the Targaryen family and even give birth to a baby, it would definitely be the highest honor.
But these are extraordinary times. The Toyin family has not been in control of the Western Territory for a long time, and their background is not good. They do not want to get involved in the cruel battle to seize the heir.
However, Tyrion exposed Lady Jeyne's inner thoughts and seemed to be considering the issue from the other party's perspective, but the conversation suddenly changed in the next sentence.
"I can understand that the Toyin family wants to stay out of the matter, but there are some things that you can't just hide from."
"How much benefit you enjoy, how much responsibility and risk you need to bear. You must know that other people are also eyeing the position of Governor of the Western Territory."
Just like a war breaks out between two kingdoms, if the common people at the bottom want to escape the war, they can just take their families and go into the mountains and forests. There is always a way to escape, and the soldiers will not stare at the common people and hunt them down.
But as the nobles of the two countries, they couldn't stay out of the matter at all. They had to either fight or surrender.
The kings of the two countries have even more responsibilities. Once the army of the other country wins, surrounds the capital and captures the palace, no one will care where the other nobles go, but the king will definitely be taken care of.
, basically there is no way to escape.
The enemy can let go of the common people of this country, and even let go of the nobles, but he will never let go of the opponent's king.
The reason Tyrion said is very simple. As the Earl of Casterly Rock and the Governor of the West, the Toyne family has no way of solving the problem if they want to rely on evasion.
What's more, there is a bigger crisis for the Toyin family.
The Toyin family occupies a high position, and he wants to escape, but there are others eyeing their position.
"What does Lord Tyrion mean by this?"
After Tyrion finished speaking, Lady Jeyne Westerling had not yet spoken. On the other side, Jon Toyne, the young master of Casterly Rock, looked slightly stunned for a moment, then turned pale with fright and hurriedly spoke.
asked.
"Who's watching Casterly Rock?"
Jon Toyne's father, Mistoyne, died when he was still young, so he inherited Casterly Rock early.
But as a young governor, Jon Toyne did not have the skills and abilities of Robb Stark back then.
Therefore, many nobles in the Western Region seem to surrender to the Toyin family. In fact, they surrender more because of the majesty of the empire. They don't care in their hearts. Otherwise, how can the Toyin family be suppressed if there are orphans and widows with the background of the Toyin family?
These nobles living in the Western Region?
And Jon Toyne also knew this. After he grew up, he worked hard to govern. Although he still did not completely control the West, the situation was much better than it was back then.
But now that he heard Tyrion say that someone is coveting the position of the Toyne family, Jon Toyne was naturally shocked, because this was what he feared the most.
Jon Toyne's reaction was naturally within Tyrion's expectations. Lady Jeyne on the other side also frowned slightly, and then Tyrion shook his head and asked.
"Lord Jon Toyne, you might as well guess what the eldest prince, His Highness Horos Targaryen, used to mobilize the Third Legion stationed in the Riverlands?"
"On what terms did he convince the Legion Commander-in-Chief, Harry Strickland?"
Harry Strickland is an old subordinate of Jon Toyne's father, Mis Toyne. He was once the treasurer of the Golden Company, but now he has become the commander-in-chief of the Third Army.
As soon as Tyrion said these words, the expressions of Jon Toyne and Lady Jeyne Westerling changed slightly.
Of course Harry Strickland, mother and son, knew him very well.
After the establishment of the empire, the former commanders of the Golden Company dispersed to various places and became nobles, forming a force in the politics of the empire.
During Mistoin's lifetime, he was the leader of this political force. He was also the Prime Minister and could lead his old brothers to enjoy success.
But after Mis Toyne's death, Harry Strickland directly succeeded him, taking away many political resources that should have belonged to Jon Toyne.
Otherwise, according to the fact that Mistoin was the Prime Minister during his lifetime, his son should at least have a place in the King's Landing Hall, instead of being a marginalized person like he seems to be now.
Therefore, if Tyrion mentioned other people, perhaps the mother and son of the Toyne family would not believe it, but when he mentioned Harry Strickland, the old pervert, they immediately believed him.
Mrs. Jenny and her son looked at each other. Although they believed most of it in their hearts, they still tried to remain calm on the surface and continued to test it out.
"His Royal Highness the Grand Prince promised the Western Territory to Uncle Harry Strickland on condition?"
"How did Lord Tyrion know?"
"Because after His Highness the First Prince launched a coup and captured King's Landing, I served on the Imperial Council."
"It was only later that I got the chance to leave King's Landing, so I abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side."
