The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Chapter 348: Kleber's Tradition (End)

With a snap, Prince Oberyn caught the "Lady of the Empty" and then a part of the sword was slowly pulled out. He looked at it with his eyes down.

"My favorite uncle, he is a great knight..."

Prince Oberyn seemed to be recalling the past with Lewyn Martell. His voice was very light: "He... often taught me... a man's value depends on the sword in his hand... not the one between his legs..."

After a pause, he suddenly looked up at Green: "In the Battle of the Trident, the reason why Lynn Corbray was able to kill my uncle with this "Lady of the Empty" was that he had been seriously injured..."

After a pause, he shook his head self-deprecatingly: "Who cares about such things, haha."

Putting the sword back into the sheath, Prince Oberyn returned the "Lady of the Empty" to Green and said: "I specifically asked someone to learn about the battle in the valley that shocked the Seven Kingdoms. You are like an experienced chess player. All the East Everything, including people, has become your pawn. I think... even if the so-called famous general Randyll is resurrected, he can't deliver such a beautiful record, Duke Green. "

Green put the "Lady of Loneliness" next to the back of the chair where Tyrion was leaning. Regarding Prince Oberyn's praise, he just joked: "Crabb is Jon Arryn's precious 'legacy' left to the nobles of the Vale, Prince Oberyn."

After speaking, Green stood up, took a closer look at Tyrion who was falling asleep, frowned and said: "Prince Oberyn, he doesn't look drunk."

Hearing this, Prince Oberyn said frankly: "Yes, he drank the sleeping wine I mixed myself, and the earliest he wakes up... will be tomorrow morning."

Green turned his head and looked at the seductive curves on the bed, and said: "Oberyn Prince Oberyn, although Tyrion is not a popular half-man, he is a Lannister after all, and Lannisters must pay their debts. "

Hearing Green's reminder, Prince Oberyn sneered and said, "I like your jokes, but I don't mind tasting the taste of Lannister."

Green moved towards the bed: "I have to remind you that everyone knows that the future queen's family does not welcome Martell."

"Because of Willas Tyrell? He never blamed me for the accident at the tournament. Almost half a year ago, I received a letter from him. We both have a common interest in cooking horse meat. "

Prince Oberyn took a sip of the wine glass and continued: "In fact, when I hit his breastplate, his foot was unfortunately He got tangled in the stirrups and fell, pinned down by his mount. I sent my maesters to treat him, but they could only save his thigh, for his knee was shattered. ”

He sneered: “If you really want to blame someone, blame his stupid father. Willas was as tender as grass back then, how could the Lord of Mace allow his heir to participate in the fierce competition? The fat man thought Willas was born to win the championship in the competition like his two brothers. He wanted a "long thorn" Leo, but he made his eldest son a cripple. ”

【Leo Tyrell was the Duke of Highgarden during the reign of Daeron II Targaryen. Many people believe that he may be the best lance tournament champion in history. He is also considered the best knight in the history of the Tyrell family. 】

Standing beside the bed, Green looked at the black-haired beauty covered with only a thin blanket and said, "You seem to like Knight Leo?"

Oberyn stared at Green with his dark eyes, shook the wine glass in his hand gently, and said, "You should also know that knocking off a horse and killing someone in a lance competition are two different things."

He suddenly smiled and said, "Duke Green, you are really cautious."

Green shrugged and said, "This is the habit of hunters. Sooner or later, careless hunters will fall into the arms of strangers."

After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Prince Oberyn: "Who is she?"

Prince Oberyn smiled slightly and said, "Ellaria Sand, she is my mistress, and I am close to her. This time she came to make up for the regret of never sharing the blonde beauty with me. Ellaria is very I have been brooding over this."

Green smiled and said, "She is a very thoughtful companion."

He glanced at the Red Viper mistress who fell asleep on the bed and said, "Prince Oberyn, her condition seems to be similar to Tyrion."

Prince Oberyn shrugged and said, "The dwarf of the Lannister family is as cautious as you, and Ellaria helped me."

"Prince Oberyn, you are also very cautious."

Green sat back on the recliner where Tyrion was and said, "It seems that you don't want other ears to hear my meeting with you."

The brown eyes touched the black eyes for a while, and Prince Oberyn leaned against the back of the chair and said, "You interest me very much, Duke Green."

Green frowned slightly and didn't speak. He just stretched out a hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Prince Oberyn grinned and said, "Very good, there is enough time tonight, let's talk slowly."

He took a sip of wine, paused, and said, "My uncle died in the battle sixteen years ago... but my sister and her children were brutally murdered after the fall of King's Landing."

He looked directly at Green: "With your ability, you should know who the real murderer is, right?"

Seeing Green nod, Prince Oberyn narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

Green was a stranger to Martell, and so was he. To the outside world, Green belonged to the Lannister camp, but why did Prince Oberyn dare to talk about these things in front of him without scruples?

At this moment, Green further confirmed his guess in his heart.

Green said calmly: "The Seven Kingdoms all know that Robert Baratheon took up the hammer for love and shattered the rule of Targaryen. Isn't he the real murderer?"

He spread his hands: "Also, he is dead."

Prince Oberyn's face flashed with anger. He looked at Green and said coldly: "Has Crab forgotten his three hundred years of tradition? If there had been no rebellion, you might be protecting my sister Elia at this moment."

Rebellion... Green's eyes trembled slightly without being noticed.

His tone was still calm: "Prince Oberyn, since Visenya Targaryen, Crabbe and all the lords of Crabclaw Peninsula have always been direct vassals of the Queen and loyally guarded the Iron Throne of Targaryen."

"And that war..."

Muttered, he continued: "Even if Prince Rhaegar had died in the battle, King's Landing had fallen, and everyone was kneeling to surrender, the Crabclaw Peninsulars who participated in the battle still fought to the last moment and the last man."

Looking at Prince Oberyn, contempt flashed across his mouth: "The only survivors are my pregnant mother and me in her belly."

Prince Oberyn clenched a fist with one hand, and was silent for a while. He suddenly smiled, but changed the subject: "Duke Green, I want to remind you, Although Lannister needs Crabbe's support, Lannister never wants to see a powerful Crabbe share the power of the Seven Kingdoms. "

He showed a strange smile: "I heard that Cersei likes you very much, Lord Green?"

Green frowned again, his voice was slightly cold: "Prince Martell, if you want to offend Queen Mother Cersei, I think..."

He got up from the chair: "This insincere conversation can end here."

"Sincerity?"

Prince Oberyn laughed loudly, he sat up straight and stared at Green: "Very good, but I am worried about you... You won't like my sincerity too much."

Green glanced at the Red Viper, he came to the window and slightly pulled open the golden curtain covering the window.

Outside the window, the moonlight was hazy.

Green's voice sounded: "Prince Martell, if you want to find someone to play with, you can try to wake up Lord Tyrion."

Prince Oberyn also stood up: "Duke Green, my desire for revenge has never subsided for a day, I think you will help me."

He said word by word: "You will help me completely destroy Lannister."

After listening, Green couldn't help but "huh", he turned around and looked at Prince Oberyn for a while, and said: "Then what?"

He taunted: "Is the Martell family planning to seize King Joffrey's Iron Throne? When can I see the Dornish soldiers attacking King's Landing? Wait for another sixteen years?"

Prince Oberyn's face was deep: "Green Crabbe, do you still remember Varys."

Seeing that Green didn't react, he said again: "I heard that you secretly entered King's Landing before contacting the Lannister and Tyrell alliance, and killed this person who served you. The intelligence chief of the three kings. "

Green moved his feet and stood in front of the recliner, looking at the sleeping Tyrion, and said: "Is it your sleeping wine?"

Prince Oberyn smiled with a little joy: "It turns out that your real strength lies in your outstanding wisdom. I should have met you earlier, Duke Green."

He shrugged: "But it's not too late now."

After a pause, Green shook his head slightly. He looked at the Red Viper and said: "This is not a big trouble for me."

He pointed at Tyrion: "After waking up, he is still a Lannister."

"Of course."

Prince Oberyn's mouth curled up: "I am actually more interested in why you risked killing the eunuch. Maybe... the omnipresent octopus spider got the information that forced you to take the risk?"

The candlelight flickered, and the golden nose on Tyrion's face and the golden sword handle on his waist were shining in the golden light, which made Green's mouth curl slightly.

After a moment of silence, Green looked at Prince Oberyn again. He asked in confusion, "What then? Please continue."

Seeing that Green was still calm, Prince Oberyn rubbed his head as if he had a headache, and he sighed.

He picked up the wine jug and poured two glasses of wine for him, took a sip from the wine glass, and the other glass... he walked over and handed it to Green.

"I brought the summer red from Dorne."

Green took it with his hand: "Thank you."

Prince Oberyn smiled slightly, took another sip of wine, and said: "My brother is cautious, but I am not. I went to Braavos and met with Sir William Darry, who was protecting King Viserys and Princess Daenerys, and signed a secret contract under the witness of the Sea King of Braavos--when Viserys returned to the Seven Kingdoms to fight for the Iron Throne, Dorne would raise troops to support him, and he would marry Princess Arianne of the Martell family (Prince Doran's eldest daughter and heir) as queen."

He stared at Green: "Later, I suddenly received news that Viserys was dead and Daenerys was missing. I immediately went to investigate in person, and then I collected information that Crabb's ship had appeared nearby. If it weren't for my brother's call... I think the city-state of Kantes (the city where Viserys died) would have given me more gains."

The smile on his face deepened: "Was Varys' death due to the information that Crabb, who was loyal to Queen Mother Lannister, secretly supported Targaryen?"

After a pause, Prince Oberyn raised his glass to indicate: "We are actually all supporters of Targaryen, we are not enemies, Lannister is our common enemy, Duke Green."

Green rubbed his index finger with his thumb on his hand behind his back. He held the wine glass and sighed slightly: "May... The gods blessed Tanglian. "Prince Obullen's eyes flashed, and said," Do you know how Wesserius died, who killed him? "Green shook his head and said," According to me, he died in an accident, but I was not sure. " "" Hearing the words, Green was alert: "I don't know where she is." Prince Obullen's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "We should protect her together, but she is the last Tanglian." The red summer was flushed. Green didn't know what he thought of it. He always had a calm voice with anger: "Are you scamming, red poisonous snake?" Prince Obullen couldn't help showing a successful smile, but soon disappeared. He patted Green's arm in a soothing manner: "I have to admit... I have never seen anyone smarter than you at your age... In fact, I have been to the city-state of Kantes, but I have collected too much information about Daenerys's whereabouts there, and none of them seem to be false, but I can now confirm... This is a smokescreen you deliberately left behind."

Green's anger has not subsided: "Martel, how did you guess me?"

"Maybe it's some kind of mercy of the gods."

Prince Oberyn shrugged and said: "When I passed near Dragonstone, I met a pirate friend of mine. He followed Stannis's fleet south to Storm's End. He saw a small fleet flying the marigold flag during the voyage (Chapter 211)... Well, he told me accidentally, so I said it was the mercy of the gods."

Seeing Green's suspicious look, he spread his hands: "Coincidental location, plus coincidental time, I don't believe there are so many coincidences, I began to be interested in you. Of course, plus tonight's unexpected harvest I have obtained the information that Varys was killed by you. I can only say that it is the blessing of the gods. "

He shrugged again: "Actually, I don't pray to the gods very often."

Green murmured: "It is really the blessing of the gods."

There was no anger on his face: "Prince Oberyn, I want to hear your proposal."

Prince Oberyn drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then threw the silver wine glass on the Myr carpet. His melancholy face was serious: "I hope Daenerys stays in the safer Sunspear City, and my brother "Give me some time to think about it..." Green thought for a while, and suddenly turned to look at Tyrion on the couch, and said, "Does this person need to be silenced?" Prince Oberyn replied jokingly, "No, he is almost half dead now, and he won't remember what he said to me when he wakes up." Hearing this, Green retracted his gaze, paused, and looked towards the bed again. Although Green did not speak, Prince Oberyn understood what Green meant. The Red Viper hid the impatience on his face, and also turned his head to look at the sleeping beauty Ellaria on the bed: "Don't worry, my love..." Chi! Prince Oberyn saw a flash of golden light from the corner of his eye, and then... widened his eyes, full of disbelief, he looked down at the golden snake sword handle on his chest. "You..." The scarlet blood bubbles that kept coming out of his mouth made him unable to speak.

With a bang, Prince Oberyn fell heavily soon after.

After a long while, Green walked over and pulled out the "Viper" dagger that was stuck in Prince Oberyn's chest.

Then, he held it in Tyrion's hand... which was covered with bright red.
