The north wind was howling in the courtyard, and the room was no warmer than the outside without a fireplace.
The atmosphere between the three Lannister brothers seemed to have frozen into ice in the cold air.
After a while, Lancel broke the silence and asked in a low voice, "You really didn't kill my father?"
The dwarf hugged his cloak tighter and said with certainty, "It was Cersei and You Lun!"
Then, he explained why he went to see Kevon and what he discussed with Kevon.
"You can ask around and see if Uncle Kevon had any intention of surrendering that day. Then you will know if I'm lying.
In fact, if you use your brains, I would have admitted to the crime of patricide without hesitation. Why would I lie about a lesser crime? "
Lancel looked down and sighed.
Jaime pursed his lips, and his face twisted in extreme pain.
The dwarf killing his father and Cersei killing her uncle seemed crazier, but the dwarf had a "legitimate" reason for killing his father, while Cersei did it for power.
Jaime even sympathized with the dwarf, but he could not accept killing his own father for power.
"What about Tommen?" he asked bitterly.
"Seven hells. Why don't you say that I'm responsible for all the murders in the Red Keep?" Tyrion was furious. He waved his hand and shouted, "That day, you all thought that I killed Joffrey, but what happened? I can even tolerate that crazy second generation Joffrey. Why would I kill the honest Tommen? "
"Tommen was poisoned to death by a shapeshifter," Lancel interrupted. "On the first night of Tommen's mortuary, a stray cat sneaked into the Great Cathedral and seemed to want to attack Cersei.
Fortunately, Saint Matthew, who was only an archbishop at that time, was there and severely injured the stray cat's soul.
When the stray cat escaped, a monk was scratched by it and died immediately in the same way as Tommen.
At that time, the long night had not yet come. We knew nothing about the shapeshifters and other supernatural beings.
Later, when the sun went out and the Mother gave an oracle, she told the archbishop all the secrets of the world. Only then did we know that the cat was the shapeshifter's animal companion. "
"Stark?"
"Stark!"
The two brothers spoke at the same time. Jaime looked hesitant, but the dwarf's tone was certain.
"Which Stark do you think it is?" Jaime looked at his brother and asked.
"Perhaps it's the Three-Eyed Crow?" At this moment, the dwarf was once again uncertain.
Jaime pondered this for a moment before he shook his head and said, "It might be Jon Snow, Sansa, or Arya, but it wouldn't be the Three-Eyed Crow.
I've seen Bran before. He's very powerful. If he wanted to kill Cersei, he wouldn't have had to wait until then. "
The main reason was that the Gnome didn't participate in the Battle of Winterfell. If he had gone and interacted with Erya, he wouldn't have any suspicions and would be able to identify the culprit.
"Forget it, there's no need to guess. It's Stark anyway. This is retribution, the grudge between the lion and the direwolf … "
Jaime sighed bitterly. "No matter who killed her, there's no need to pursue this matter. The lion killed Eide and Robb, so let's use Toman to pay with his life!
To that child, death might be a form of release.
At least, when we face Stark in the future, we don't have to feel guilty anymore. Our families are even! "
"I've never felt guilty. I didn't throw Bran, I didn't stab Eide, and I didn't kill Robb," Tyrion said.
"If you weren't held captive by a woman like Caitlin, why would I stab Eide? Why would father attack Hejian? In the end, you're the starting point of everything, "Jaime said angrily.
"I should let father see how brainless his chosen successor is. Even now, he still doesn't understand the true cause of the War of the Four Kings," Tyrion mocked as he pointed outside the window.
"You think you're smart?" Jaime spat out. "Idiot!"
"You're the idiot! Little Finger has been dead for so long, and you still don't know that he's the mastermind, "Tyrion retorted.
Jaime smiled coldly. "Smart man, tell me, how did Little Finger die?"
The anger on the dwarf's face froze.
Little Finger's death was still an unsolved case.
"Could it be you? What have you been doing for the past two years? If I didn't hear that you went to Winterfell to fight deviant ghosts, I would have thought that some bastard buried you on the side of the road, "Tyrion said in shock.
"It's a long story!" Jaime waved his hand and sighed. "Finally, I've repaid my debt."
"What debt? Speak clearly," the dwarf asked curiously.
"I can't say, I swear to keep it a secret," Jaime shook his head.
The dwarf frowned and thought for a moment. His expression suddenly changed and he said in shock, "Could it be that Stark is still alive?"
"I want to save Cersei!" Jaime changed the topic abruptly.
The dwarf had been staring at his face. Now that he had gotten the answer he wanted, he couldn't help but exclaim, "I thought that Targaryen's life was the toughest. Even after the kingdom was destroyed, there would still be descendants who would rise again.
Now, I realize that Stark is the main character. After so many years, no one died. "
"Perhaps one day, Eide will suddenly appear. I shouldn't be surprised."
"You don't have to worry about that. Eide Stark's bones have been burned to ashes. In Winterfell, I saw it with my own eyes. The Stark in the tomb was burned to ashes," Jaime said.
The dwarf smiled proudly. "So it really is Caitlyn. It's unbelievable that she was revived by the Red Priest."
"You ~ ~ ~" Jaime was shocked and angry.
The dwarf waved his hand and smiled. "Don't be agitated. I'm not trying to trick you. Stark's family only has a few people. Robb's head is embedded in the Magic Mountain, and Eide has been burned to ashes. Only Caitlyn is left.
I've heard rumors about the Lightning King long ago. Back then, I thought it was just a trick played by the Flag Less Brotherhood. Now that gods and demons are everywhere, it would be foolish of me to think that way. "
"Sigh, Madam Stoneheart is a demon. You'd better not provoke her. Don't ask about her. Don't have any interactions with her." Jaime sighed.
Tyrion shook his head disapprovingly and smiled with satisfaction. "Jaime, you've been hanging around Westeros all this time. It's inevitable that your vision is a little narrow.
I've seen too many terrifying people, gods, and demons in the past two years. A mere Madam Stoneheart, hehe … "
Lansel glanced outside the window and reminded, "It's getting late. The Seven Star Tower of Holy Light will light up at six in the morning. Cultivators wake up even earlier for their morning classes. You should get down to business!"
Tyrion looked around at the narrow and empty cold stone room and frowned. "Waking up early and sleeping late. You're still living in this kind of room. You're living too shabby."
The room that looked like an ice cellar was only fifteen square meters. It should be very narrow, but other than a half-meter-wide and two-meter-long wooden bed and a small office table and chair, there was nothing else. It was empty, but it also gave off a strange feeling of spaciousness.
Now, the dwarf and Lancel were sitting on a hard, thatched bed, while Jaime sat on a small stool.
"My living conditions have already surpassed 90% of the people in the Seven Nations," Lansel said calmly.
"As long as you like it." Tyrion shrugged and turned to Jaime. "Where do you live now?"
"A cave."
"What?" The dwarf thought he was hallucinating.
"I'm digging a cave under Aegon Hill. It's the Red Castle's secret passage. Now, the secret passage is full of traps. I can only choose a suitable place to dig another path according to the original secret passage map that Varys provided. " Jaime sighed.
"You … You're really stubborn." The dwarf didn't know what to say.
The night had come. Today, the Other Ghosts were heading south. Instead of returning to the Western Region to reorganize the defenses and protect their homes, he went to dig a cave.
After a while, he asked softly, "She's already rotten. Is it worth it?" “
"Other than me, who else can save her? She must be looking forward to my arrival. That's enough. "Jaime looked down and sighed.
The dwarf rubbed his numb face and asked, "How can I help you? You're not waiting for me here just to rekindle our brotherhood. "
"This is really unexpected. Jaime didn't know you were coming. But the news of a noble coming to the Cathedral to collect the coffins of his ancestors spread in King's Landing. He's also here to deal with the four coffins, "Lancel said.
"Cremate them. I'll send the ashes to Casterly Rock. After this long night, the funeral customs of the Westeros will definitely change. Cremation will become the norm, "Tyrion said.
Jaime looked at the dwarf and said, "You're wearing Vassar Armor, right? Danny Rize is really good to you.
Stannis is about to attack King's Landing. There's still one last section of the tunnel to the Red Castle that hasn't been checked for traps. Maybe you can help me. "
"What do you want?" Tyrion asked cautiously.
"Vassar Armor can protect against poison arrows, bear traps, and poison salts —"
"You want me to take a mine?" Tyrion shouted.
"Cersei is also your sister." Jaime sighed.
"I want to use that sister to feed the wraiths. Cersei is the most beautiful Cersei when she's turned into a ghoul. She has the same idea for me." Tyrion shouted.
"Then will you help me?" Jaime asked directly.
The dwarf hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, you don't have to worry about Cersei's safety. King's Landing won't be defended. Stannis' two-headed dragon is very scary. It's the fallen demigod Megalosaurus Varghal.
And I have a deal with Stannis. After he takes the Red Castle, he'll give Cersei and the Lion Army to me. "
"Including you," he added.
"What deal?" Jaime was puzzled.
"Half a month ago, I was negotiating with Davos on Tidehead Island. Have you heard of it?"
Jaime nodded. "There's Varghal's little bird on Tidehead Island."
"You're still messing around with that fat eunuch? Now that things have come to this, do you still not understand his scheme?
He didn't even mention what Rega and his siblings did. He only talked about Lannister.
That night, I was able to see Pops and kill him because of his scheme.
Even a fool knows that Lannister, who has Duke Tywin, will never let Aegon take the Iron Throne. "Tyrion frowned.
"Did he hold your hand and force you to pull the trigger?" Jaime mocked.
"I …" Tyrion's right hand waved unconsciously in the air a few times. In the end, he weakly placed it on his leg and sighed. "I persuaded Sansa to provide 100,000 tons of food to Stannis and swore allegiance to him with her.
With the two strongest competitors for the Iron Throne gone, Stannis was happy to let you and Cersei go. He also promised not to ride the two-headed dragon and burn Casterly Rock. "
"You're quite considerate. You even gave up your father's Iron Throne." Jaime's expression was calm. It was hard to tell if he was mocking or admiring.
"Sigh, you might not believe it, but the effort I put in to protect Lannister is more than you and Cersei combined." The dwarf sighed.
"Then help me save Cersei," Jaime said.
"So what I said before was for nothing?"
"I don't believe Stannis's promises. The fake Crown Prince Aegon is a good example. Also, tell me, when he rode the dragon to burn the Red Castle, how did he avoid Cersei who was hiding somewhere? "
