Watching Davos' pterosaur disappear into the distance, Yalaine tilted her head and asked suspiciously, "Are you really going to swear loyalty to Stannis?"
The dwarf looked around. Seeing that there were many people around, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Stannis has the two-headed demon dragon, and my sister has clearly separated from me. It's not a loss to surrender in exchange for the position of duke."
He seemed to be speaking in a low voice, but his voice was very loud. Everyone around heard him.
"Pretentious!" Yalaine saw his behavior and guessed something.
The dwarf pulled her back to the Spice Inn. "Have you noticed that not only are the kings of the Westeros falling one after another, but even the seven dukes are declining rapidly?"
Yalaine was stunned for a moment, then nodded and sighed. "Indeed. First, it was Stark in the North, then Tully in Hejian, then Ayrin in the Valley, Tyrell in the River Bend, Theon in the Stormlands …
Even Lannister's strength was greatly damaged.
It was a miracle that Stark could suddenly be revived. The other families were not as lucky as them.
Of the seven kingdoms, only our Dorne is intact. Now I understand my father's painstaking efforts and wisdom. "
"Your father is overcautious and tries his best to be safe. He's a typical conservative ruler. If it were any other time, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
However, the Westeros have been experiencing unprecedented changes in the past decade or so. All the 'opportunities' have turned into 'crises' in the end, and indecisiveness has become an advantage.
The less you do, the less you make mistakes. The less you fight, the less you lose.
Duane was lucky. He didn't do anything, but he was lucky enough to avoid most of the shit, "Tyrion complained.
Yalaine elbowed Tyrion's shoulder and scolded jokingly, "A few days ago, you were praising my father in front of Flowing Water Garden, saying that his wisdom was as deep as the abyss and that he was astute."
In fact, she agreed with the dwarf's point of view.
Prince Daolang did not hide his thoughts from his eldest daughter, so Yalaine understood that her father was not without desires.
He had a deep desire to take revenge and make a killing in the game of thrones.
If she had no desire for power, she wouldn't have signed the sacred marriage contract of "Araine and Viserys" with William Darry more than ten years ago. She wouldn't have been tempted when Lan Li raised his troops. She wouldn't have purposely sent her eldest son, Quentin, to Slaver's Bay. She wouldn't have joined King Aegon's "True Dragon Alliance" …
"Speaking human language is my basic talent. Moreover, I have other requests for father-in-law. Of course, I have to use the sweetest flattery to make him agree to my request."
Tyrion hugged Yalaine, stood on his tiptoes, and leaned his mouth against her cheek.
Seeing this, Viper and the others behind him only smiled ambiguously. They stopped in front of the private room and turned to the empty table in the middle of the hall.
"Unfortunately, your flattery isn't sweet enough." The dwarf's handsome face made it impossible for Ya Lian to refuse. She took the initiative to move her sexy, plump lips closer.
After kissing for a while, Tyrion tried to listen to the conversation outside the private room. Then, he explained, "The decline of the duke's family is our chance.
The Iron Throne is unique and very dangerous. However, there are several dukedoms. Fighting for the position of duke and showing 'limited' ambition can actually make us safer. "
"We? You and who? " Yalaine pushed the dwarf away. The amorous feelings on her face immediately turned into cold mockery. "Actually, she was originally your wife. Now that her husband is dead and you've become handsome and 'tall', the two of you can talk about old times. That damned Aegon is watching from heaven every day. He probably won't say anything."
Tyrion instinctively looked up at the ceiling. He seemed to be looking for King Aegon who was staring at him.
"Since you've said so, how would I dare to have any improper thoughts?" he said with a bitter smile.
"Don't dare?" Yalaine sneered. "So, you've really thought about it?"
Tyrion hesitated for a moment. He nodded and sighed. "I mentioned this to Sansa, but she rejected me."
"She rejected you, and that's why you came to me? What do you take me for? "Yalaine was so angry that her face turned white.
"I only feel pity for Sansa. They're orphans and widows who need someone to take care of them, and I have the responsibility to take care of them. I proposed to you out of love.
If I didn't love you, why would I be so sincere and tell you a secret that no one should know? "Tyrion ignored the struggle of the person in his arms. He hugged her tightly and said affectionately into her ear.
Gradually, he felt her struggle stop.
He smiled proudly in his heart. He sighed as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. "You don't know how complicated my feelings were when Sansa rejected me. That kind of relief was immediately followed by guilt …
Until I met you. You comforted me and dispelled the long night that shrouded my heart. Your love is the red sword of heroes. You're my savior! "
"Stop it. You're so mushy!" Yalaine's eyes were watery. She giggled and hit his chest.
Tyrion did not listen to her and stopped. Instead, he went even further. He bombarded her with even more mushy words of love.
After a while, Yalaine suddenly pushed away the man who was messing around on her chest. She calmed down and frowned. "What responsibility do you have for that little bitch Sansa? Is the child in her belly yours? "
"Don't talk nonsense. How could I have a chance? Sigh, I mean … "The dwarf sighed. He pulled a chair over and sat by the window. He had a complicated expression." Back then, I saw Danny Rize's attitude towards Lannister and Casterly Rock. That was why I encouraged Aegon to leave Slaver's Bay.
I was also the one who helped Aegon devise a plan against Stannis. "
"If you didn't encourage him, Aegon wouldn't have left?" Yalaine asked.
The dwarf shook his head. "He would have left sooner or later. In Slaver's Bay, he will never get what he wants.
However, if he had left after the Battle of Meereen, the outcome might have been different.
Going north to Winterfell and the plan against Stannis had nothing to do with me. However, I am Aegon's Hand of the King. Obviously, I have failed in my duty. "
"You really think of yourself as Jon Clinton," Yalaine sneered.
As the Mad King's Hand of the King, Jon Clinton had done his best. However, he was still brooding over the Battle of the Bell. He felt that he had let down the Mad King, Targaryen, and his Silver Prince.
Tyrion shrugged and said, "I won't spend more than ten years to raise a child. Unless she becomes the queen and I become the regent.
However, I won't lose anything by helping her. If Sansa really gets what she wants, I will also benefit greatly. "
"What benefits do you want?" Yalaine narrowed her eyes.
Tyrion rolled his eyes and said, "Perhaps I can obtain a Dukedom. As I said before, the Westeros are going through unprecedented changes. Many Duke families have withered and can't sit on the Iron Throne. Can't they get a Duke to play with?
Don't be fooled by my sister's prowess. The three cities of Slaver's Bay aren't even as big as Riverbend. "
"You want Riverbend?" Yalaine was shocked.
"It's not that I have to get Riverbend. When I was walking by the river, a few bleating sheep rushed down from upstream. Then, I fished up the sheep closest to the shore. Its name is Riverbend High Court," Tyrion said as he gestured with his hands.
"Why Riverbend?" Yalaine was puzzled.
"My dear, it's a long night. The long night hasn't ended. In fact, the cruel reality has just begun." Tyrion stroked the woman's curly hair and laughed in a low voice. "The Western Region, Dorne, and the Valley are all dangerous places. Riverbend, on the other hand, is a large plain.
I don't need to do anything. Those proud descendants of the 'Blue Hand' are fated to disappear in the flood of ghouls. "
Yalaine's eyes widened. Her voice trembled as she said, "Do you know how many people there are in Riverbend? If Riverbend is lost, the Westeros will be finished. "
"It's not up to us to decide. Riverbend, Riverbend, and the royal territory can't be defended at all. But don't worry, I have arrangements. I will do my best to preserve the population. "Tyrion smiled bitterly.
Yalaine's heart skipped a beat. She asked, "Is this your sister's judgment, or her decision?"
"What are you thinking! Do you really think she's the mastermind behind the scenes and can control everything? " Tyrion shook his head. "Right now, only the Frost God can move her. Only the Gods are worthy of her schemes. She has always insisted on ending the long night and stopping the world from falling.
She doesn't care about the Westeros at all, much less participate in it.
Otherwise, why would I play tricks with Stannis? I could have taken Sansa to Dragonstone Island. What can he do even if he has the two-headed demon dragon? "
"Things are different now that you have a sister. If it was in the past, you would have mocked her secretly. Now, you're praising her as an otherworldly God. "Yalaine said bitterly.
In the past, when the two were alone, the dwarf would often say bad things about the Dragon Queen. He said that she was scheming, vicious, sweet on the outside, evil on the inside, vengeful on the inside …
"My knowledge was shallow before. Recently, I became an Extraordinary and have a deeper understanding of the truth of the world. My way of looking at things has also changed." The dwarf sighed.
"Even if you're scheming against Riverbend, why pretend to be loyal to Stannis?" Yalaine asked.
"Before this, how could an outsider become the new master of the Seven Kingdoms?
First, war, then marriage!
Not to mention that I don't have the power to start a war, even if I did, it's already the long night. I can't fight a war of conquest, marriage …
I don't know if Margaery is still alive. But even if she isn't, You Lun won't let her go. "
"Heh, heh, heh …" Tyrion suddenly started to laugh, and he looked a little lewd.
"A duke's moral integrity is no different from a woman's chastity. The first time is the most precious and the hardest to give up. But after the first time … Ouch!"
Before the dwarf could finish his words, Yalaine slapped him in the face. He couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Your words are crude, but the logic is not. When Stannis uses the Demonic Dragon to force them to acknowledge Yassel, it will be much easier for me to replace Yassel.
The surviving Riverbend dukes will definitely hate me, but they will only hate Stannis for forcing them to hand over their 'first time'.
Maybe I can even become the savior and save them from the oppression of the two-headed Demonic Dragon. "
At this point, he clapped his hands excitedly. "Let Stannis be the villain, and we will silently make a fortune behind him.
Just like my shrewd sister, didn't she also use Stannis to deal with the surrenders who sacrificed the Deviants?
All the sins and hatred will be borne by him, and she will only be responsible for being the Holy Mother of Salvation. "
"You're thinking too much. Riverbend is still in Tiemin's hands." Yalaine sneered.
"No, Tiemin only controls one city, Highcourt. Just like You Lun's Regent husband, he is only the King of the King's Landing and not the King of the Seven Kingdoms."
