However, Tyrion is such an old man, he was a man when he was young, not to mention having experienced so much.
He could see at a glance the faint displeasure on Mrs. Jennie's face.
In fact, this is also quite normal. If he himself is the Lord of Casterly Rock City, and suddenly a prince comes over and wants to marry his daughter, he also needs to think twice.
What's more, it is now the key to the battle for the throne. The first prince, Heros Targaryen, has achieved an overwhelming advantage, at least it can be seen on the bright side.
"Mrs. Jennie, with all due respect, may I call you that?"
In this world, strangers are generally called by their surnames, and by their first names is a sign of intimacy.
And Tyrion's conversation skills are naturally extraordinary, just through the minutiae of words, they quietly close the relationship between each other.
Jenny Westerling heard Tyrion's words and nodded slightly.
"I know your current concerns, Lady Jane."
"If Miss Bei Shanni and His Highness Yin Meng can be in love with each other, it will naturally be a beautiful marriage."
"The noble Toynes are married to the greatest family the world has ever seen, the Targaryens."
"But coincidentally... now doesn't seem like the right time?"
Tyrion stood talking in the great hall of Casterly Rock.
This used to be his homeland, but now Tyrion is visiting as a guest, but there is no strange color on Tyrion's face.
He saw through Madam Jenny's inner concerns, and then spoke bluntly, piercing through the other party's thoughts. Madam Jenny's face suddenly became slightly embarrassed.
Because if it is placed in other time periods, the world is peaceful, and Bethany Toyn can marry into the Targaryen family, and even give birth to a baby, it is definitely the supreme honor.
But now it is an extraordinary period. The Toin family has not been in the Western Territory for a long time, and the background is not good, and they do not want to be involved in the cruel battle for succession.
However, Tyrion pierced through Mrs. Jennie's inner thoughts, and seemed to be thinking about the problem from the other party's point of view, but suddenly the conversation changed in the next sentence.
"I can understand that the Toyne family wants to stay out of the way, but some things can't be avoided if you want to avoid them."
"As much benefit as you enjoy, you need to take responsibility and risk. You must know that other people are also staring at the position of Governor of the Western Regions."
Just as a war broke out between the two kingdoms, if the common people at the bottom wanted to avoid the war, they could just go into the mountains and forests with their families, there was always a way to escape, and the soldiers would not stare at the common people to chase and kill them.
But as nobles of the two countries, they couldn't stay out of it at all, either fighting or surrendering.
The kings of the two countries have taken on more responsibilities. Once the army of the other country wins and surrounds the capital and captures the palace, no one cares where the other nobles go, but the king will definitely be taken care of. , is basically impossible to escape.
The enemy can spare the common people of this country, and even the nobles, but they will definitely not spare the king of the other side.
And what Tyrion said is very simple. The Toyne family, as the Governor of the Western Region, the Earl of Casterly Rock City, has no way to solve the problem if they want to rely on evasion.
What's more, there is an even bigger crisis for the Toyne family.
The Toyne family occupies a high position, and he wants to escape, but there are others staring at their position.
"What does Lord Tyrion mean by that?"
After Tyrion's words fell, Mrs. Jenny Westerling hadn't spoken yet, and the expression on Jon Toyne, the young master of Casterly Rock City on the other side, was slightly stunned, and then he was shocked and hurriedly spoke. asked.
"Who's watching Casterly Rock?"
Jon Toyne's father, Meath Toyne, died when he was young, so he inherited Casterly Rock early on.
But also as a young governor, Jon Toyne does not have the skills and abilities of Robb Stark.
Therefore, many nobles up and down the western border seem to be submissive to the Toin family, but in fact, they are more submissive to the majesty of the empire on the surface, and they don't care about it. These nobles living in the Western Region?
And Jon Toyne also knew this. After he grew up, he tried his best to manage it. Although he still did not completely control the Western Region, he was still in a much better state than he was in the past.
But now that he heard Tyrion say that someone is coveting the position of the Toyne family, Jon Toyne is naturally shocked, because this is what he is most afraid of.
And Jon Toyne's reaction was naturally within Tyrion's expectations, and Mrs. Jenny 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 Royal Highness Heros Targaryen, used to mobilize the Third Legion stationed in the riverlands?"
"On what terms did he convince Commander-in-Chief Harry Strickland of the Legion?"
Harry Strickland is an old servant of Jon Toyn's father, Meath Toyn~www.mtlnovel.com~ Once the treasurer of the Golden Corps, but now the commander of the Third Legion.
As soon as Tyrion's words came out, the expressions of Jon Toyne and Lady Jenny Westerling changed slightly.
Harry Strickland, of course the mother and son knew this man too well.
After the establishment of the empire, the former commanders of the Golden Corps dispersed to various places and became nobles, forming a force in the politics of the empire,
Before Mies Toin was alive, he was the leader of this political force, and he was also the Prime Minister of the Royal Palace and could lead the old brothers to eat and drink spicy food.
But after the death of Meath Toyne, Harry Strickland took his place directly, robbing many of the political resources that should have belonged to Jon Toyne.
Otherwise, according to Mies Toin's death as the former Prime Minister, his son should at least have a place in the King's Landing Hall, instead of seeming to be a marginal person now.
So if Tyrion was talking about someone else, maybe the mother and son of the Toyne family wouldn't believe it, but he mentioned Harry Strickland, an old lecher, and they immediately believed it.
Mrs. Jennie and her son looked at each other. Although they believed most of them in their hearts, they still tried to keep calm on the surface, and continued to try again.
"His Royal Highness promised to Uncle Harry Strickland on the condition of the West?"
"How did Lord Tyrion know?"
"Because the First Prince launched a coup d'etat and captured King's Landing, I served in the Imperial Council."
"It was only later that I got the opportunity to leave King's Landing, and then I abandoned the dark and turned to the light."
