??Chapter 408 Allegiance
?? "Your dragon wants to eat me."
??Tyrion looked at the dragon head that was close at hand, almost as big as his body, and his voice trembled.
??Samwell jumped off the dragon's back and joked with a smile:
?? "Don't worry, it won't eat dwarves, it won't grow up if it eats it."
?? "Yes, yes." Tyrion didn't feel offended at all, but nodded repeatedly, "And I haven't showered for several days, eating it will ruin my stomach."
??Cleopatra seemed to understand, snorted, turned her head away, and stopped staring at the dwarf.
??Tyrion heaved a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but look at the White Dragon with envious eyes.
??Beautiful yet dangerous creatures are simply miracles of creation.
??Tyrion turned into a curious baby while following Caesar to the Old Palace:
?? "How high can it fly?"
?? "Ten thousand feet is fine."
?? "Will you fall off when you ride on it? I heard that the Targaryens used to wear dragon saddles. Why don't you wear them?"
?? "I have great strength, so I don't need it."
?? "How much does it eat for a meal? Does it pull a lot? Will it be picky eaters..."
??The other party in front of him is endless, and the questions are getting more and more strange, Samwell rolled his eyes and ignored him.
??Tyrion persisted in asking:
?? "It's male and female? Brother Bath said that there are no male and female dragons, what do you think? Don't keep silent, Caesar, back then we went to the Technical Academy together, don't be so biological..."
?? It wasn't until entering the main hall of the old palace that the noisy dwarf finally closed his mouth.
?? There were dozens of nobles from the riverlands and valleys gathered in the hall, but they were not in good health, obviously because they had suffered a lot during their previous captive career.
"Lord Edmure, long time no see, you're still so handsome." Tyrion greeted with a smile, "Ha, little Cleo, it's great that you're fine, Aunt Gina is worried about you, Don't worry, I will take you home.
??Yo, Sir Patrick, you are here too, oh yes, your sister has married my old Sir Damon, and we will be considered relatives from now on..."
"That's enough, little devil." Edmure Tully interrupted Tyrion, who was making connections, and said in a bad tone, "Don't be joking around here, do you know how we have spent the past two years! Tens of thousands of brothers Starved to death and turned to dry bones in the scorching sun, all thanks to Tywin Lannister!"
"You have wronged people too much," Tyrion cried. "It was the Martells who captured you, and they were the ones who didn't give you food. It's not Lannister's fault. "
?? "The army withdrew in the middle of the night and burned the food with a torch before leaving. Tywin did this, right? If it wasn't for him, why would we be trapped in Dorne?"
"I can't deny this." Tyrion shrugged and argued, "But my father just wanted to delay your return to the riverlands and valleys, and didn't intend to hurt you. You also know the situation at that time. Of the blood of King Robert..."
?? "Those three children are not of the blood of the previous king at all, they are the evil seeds of your Lannister family!"
"You can't talk nonsense." Tyrion chuckled, "Do you know that even Duke Eddard Stark, who first questioned him in Tianji City, has publicly admitted that what he said was a lie? , and voluntarily went to the Great Wall of Immortality to become a night watchman for atonement."
?? "What a volunteer." Edmure sneered, "Do you think we are fools?"
"I regard you as a friend." Tyrion said, "Your father, Lord Hoster Tully, died of illness. I deeply regret this. His Majesty Tommen has issued an edict to canonize you as the Duke of Riverrun. Guardian of the river, just waiting for you to go to King's Landing to swear allegiance."
"It's just a duke title, and I can afford it." Samwell finally said, "Sir Edmure, don't forget Tywin's previous betrayal. Since he can betray you once, he can also betray you a second time. .Only I, is your reliable friend."
"Dragon can never be trusted." Tyrion immediately said, "Ser Edmure, don't forget what the Mad King did back then, don't forget that the fish, wolf, deer, eagle, and lion teamed up to kill the evil The dragons drove out of Westeros, and now they are back, don't you fear their revenge?"
?? "Of course I won't retaliate."
?? "Of course you say that now."
??Samwell laughed and shook his head, saying:
?? "Do you know why I will never take revenge? Because it was Targaryen that you drove away, so what does it have to do with me, Caesar?"
??Tyrion said again: "But your wife is the daughter of the mad king, won't she take revenge?"
"Robert, who killed Daenerys' brother Rhaegar back then, is dead. As for the one who invaded King's Landing and killed Daenerys' father and clansmen, it was Lannister," said Samwell, looking at Tyrion. She showed a dangerous smile, "Even if she wants to take revenge, she won't go to the Tully family."
?? "But Tully and Lannister are allies."
"Well, we already know how Duke Tywin treats his allies." Samwell sneered, and then said, "And, Sir Edmure, you should know that I have a very close relationship with your brother-in-law, Duke Ed Alright, that's why he conspired to kill the false king in Tianji City back then. He even entrusted his two daughters to me."
?? "Sansa and Arya?" Edmure was slightly startled, "Are they still alive?"
?? "Of course." Samwell smiled, "They are all living well under my protection. As long as you are willing to pledge your allegiance, you will be able to see them soon."
??Seeing that Edmure showed signs of being persuaded, Tyrion became anxious immediately:
?? "Sir Edmure, do you know that Riverrun has recognized His Majesty Tommen, and all the houses in the Riverland and Valley have also recognized His Majesty Tommen, and all sent troops to King's Landing to fight for His Majesty.
??If you are loyal to Caesar now, don't you worry about going to the battlefield in the future and making enemies with your own people? "
?? Edmure suddenly fell into hesitation again.
??Sam Well said:
?? "You don't need to worry about this. You don't need to participate in this upcoming war."
"real?"
?? "It's absolutely true." Samwell nodded solemnly, "Your current physical condition is not suitable for participating in the war, so I will arrange for you to recuperate first. When the situation is stable, I will send you home."
?? "Okay!" Edmure finally nodded, "However, I want to add another layer of protection."
?? "How to add?"
?? "Marriage."
?? "Yes." Samwell would naturally not refuse, "I have three unmarried younger sisters, you can choose the one you like and marry."
?? "Okay!" Edmure strode forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Samwell, raised the general above his head, and said loudly,
?? "Dear Storm King Caesar, I, Edmure Tully, the eldest son of the Duke of Riverrun, am willing to serve you. From now on, my sword will always be brandished by you!"
??Samwell took the opponent's sword, tapped each of his shoulders, and said:
?? "I accept your allegiance."
??With Edmure taking the lead, the rest of the Hejian nobles stepped forward to swear allegiance.
??As for the valley nobles, under the leadership of Robert Royce, they also swore allegiance to Caesar.
??Tyrion watched this scene from the sidelines, feeling extremely bitter in his heart.
he knows,
??Dorn already belongs to Caesar.
