Edmure Tully opened his mouth and said, "Lord Tyrion, you are right. If it were me... I would do the same. Oh!"
Tyrion saw that Edmure was using a sigh to cover his inner panic, and he was having a hard time suppressing his laughter.
After a moment of silence, Tyrion reached for the wine jug, poured some wine, and said, "My friend, don't be too sad. Actually..."
A slight smile played on his lips: "Nights without candles are all the same."
Edmure looked up, somewhat weakly, and said, "This is my wife, and she will be the mother of my children. It's not the same."
With that, he "painfully" raised his cup, paused for a moment, sighed again, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Tyrion continued to pour wine for Edmure, his eyes darting around. This was the tenth cup... During his time with Edmure, Tyrion had learned that the current heir to Riverrun was in his most vulnerable state, easily swayed by others' advice, and prone to emotional outbursts.
As he poured the wine, Tyrion's eyes, one black and one green, subtly glanced at Edmure, whose gaze was slightly hazy. Tyrion then spoke, "Lord Edmure, I must agree with your thoughts."
He put down the wine jug: "My greatest dream, as a Lannister Dwarf, is for my beautiful wife to bear me a son as magnificent as Jaime."
He spoke as if with emotion: "This is the only way I can think of... to prevent my son from hating me. After all, I cannot be a tall father, but at least I can ensure my child has a beautiful mother."
Edmure agreed wholeheartedly: "Yes, I am more worried about the future Trout lady becoming a laughingstock to others. Oh, pray."
Tyrion's eyes moved slightly, as if he was trying his best to comfort him: "Perhaps, I was mistaken. You are, after all, the heir to Riverrun, and the Frey, as your vassals, should not dare to offend you."
"I am not yet a liege lord to the Frey."
Edmure first denied it, then continued, "Lord Tyrion, Lord Frey is the most stingy person in the Seven Kingdoms. You are definitely right, I guarantee it."
Tyrion sighed helplessly and raised his cup in a gesture: "May the gods bless you."
Taking a sip of wine, he continued, "May pray bless me, and may I be wrong."
Edmure raised his cup and took a big gulp, saying, "Lord Tyrion, thank you for your kind words. But I know, this is just a... based on my understanding of Lord Frey, oh, it can only be a beautiful wish."
Tyrion did not continue to comfort him. He swirled the wine in his cup and suddenly asked, "I know the location of The Twins is very important, but are you perhaps a bit too... how should I put it... too focused on it? After all, the Frey are just vassals of the Tully."
A wary look appeared in Edmure's eyes, but Tyrion showed no sign of noticing, and continued, "I think... it is this war that has made the Frey's position so important. If there were no war, Lord Frey would be overjoyed to marry into the Riverrun heir's family."
His tone was filled with emotion: "It's a pity that Lord Tywin married my charming sister Cersei to a Baratheon. If she had married into Riverrun, at least she wouldn't have to be a widow... Hmm, and we wouldn't be facing... all these troubles we are now."
Edmure seemed somewhat surprised: "Your sister is the Queen Regent, no woman could be more noble than her."
"A woman often beaten by her husband."
Tyrion leaned forward towards Edmure and lowered his voice slightly: "Robert Is a drunkard, and my sister is very pitiful."
Edmure was incredulous: "As King, to... lay hands on his own Queen? Is this true?"
Tyrion's voice was tinged with sadness: "We are friends, so I am telling you the truth, Lord Edmure."
He added, "Robert Baratheon's warhammer is known throughout the Seven Kingdoms, and that's why Jaime and I have always stayed in the Red Keep. You can never guess what crazy things a drunkard will do."
"That's truly pitiful... I had heard some rumors, I thought they were just... I never imagined Robert I would be..."
