Greene Crabb glanced towards Kings Gate and said, "Hand of the King Tywin, I heard that North Cavalry appeared on Kings Road, east of Harrenhal.
After learning this news last night, I was worried about it.
I'm afraid that King Joffrey's beautiful wedding will be ruined by them, and I'm also worried about the wedding guests who are coming to King's Landing."
This happened three days ago, and Greene received the intelligence last night.
Before Duke Tywin could speak, Lord Mace poked his head out slightly and said, "Duke Green, are you perhaps worried..."
As he spoke, his expression became serious, as if he had thought of something.
Greene looked at Lord Mace, nodded slightly, and said, "North Cavalry are good at swift attacks, and the Crownlands, especially the lords near King's Landing, are weakened after the Battle of King's Landing.
Even if the enemy passes by their castles, they can do nothing but close their own gates."
He frowned slightly: "Perhaps their greatest loyalty is to send ravens to the Red Keep."
Thinking that Joffrey and Margaery's wedding might have problems, Lord Mace couldn't help but poke his head out further: "We should immediately send troops."
Greene nodded and said, "This is the best way, but I heard that Robb Stark has at least five thousand cavalry.
If the number of soldiers is too small, it will be easy for the enemy to find an opportunity to counterattack.
I propose... we form a large coalition to completely eliminate the enemy."
Coalition?
A hint of hesitation appeared on Lord Mace's plump face, but it quickly disappeared.
For House Tyrell and his daughter, he decided to slightly postpone his long-planned battle for Storms End.
"Very well, I agree with your proposal, Duke Green."
After speaking, he and Greene both looked at Duke Tywin, who was standing in the middle.
A vein on Duke Tywin's forehead pulsed slightly, and he said coldly, "There are only a few hundred North Cavalry harassing us.
I have already ordered Ser Amory, who is stationed at Harrenhal, to lead the Lannister sworn knights and free riders to pursue them."
His light green eyes shifted slightly, and he looked at Lord Mace: "Joffrey and Margaery's wedding will proceed smoothly."
Then, he looked at Greene again: "If the Lord of the Eyrie can provide cavalry from the Vale, I think King Joffrey will be very grateful."
Greene nodded his chin and said seriously, "The Crabb Legion is ready to fight for the Seven Kingdoms at any time.
We can find a time to discuss the specific matters thoroughly.
I await your summons, Hand of the King Tywin."
Duke Tywin withdrew his gaze, paused, and said, "Very good."
After a moment of silence, Lord Mace couldn't help but ask, "Are we... not forming a coalition after all?"
In fact, the artist of war had no interest in the troubles in the Riverlands.
For him, that was a Lannister war.
House Tyrell had already fulfilled its obligations as an ally in the Battle of King's Landing, and there was no need to get involved again.
If it weren't for the interests of House Tyrell, he would even secretly help Lord Eddard's son.
The reason he confirmed again...
Lord Mace stroked his beard.
It wasn't impossible to help the cunning Duke Tywin, provided that...
He secretly glanced at the Lord Hand's necklace Duke Tywin was wearing.
Greene smiled slightly and said, "Lord Mace, Lord Hand has already made arrangements.
I think... the King's wedding will not be disturbed by Robb Stark.
My proposal can be temporarily reserved."
What does "temporarily reserved" mean?
Although Lord Mace had doubts in his heart when he heard Greene's words, he did not show it on his face.
He nodded.
After a moment of silence, the artist of war from the Riverlands sighed slightly and said, "We can't let the little Ice Wolf continue to... cause trouble in the Riverlands."
Duke Tywin: "..."
The Old Lion gave Lord Mace a cold glance.
...
Below Kings Gate.
Joffrey Baratheon wore a crown, his golden armor gleaming in the sun, and his red cloak fluttering like flames in the wind.
Margaery Tyrell wore a cloak woven from flowers, with House Tyrell's green long dress underneath, looking exceptionally charming.
Joffrey reached out his hand and gently and elegantly helped Margaery into the elaborately decorated carriage.
The surrounding crowd cheered, their voices rising and falling like waves.
"Long live the King! Long live Margaery!"
"Long live the King!!"
"Long live Margaery!!"
After settling into the carriage, Margaery gave the King beside her a shy and sweet smile.
Joffrey curved his lips, returning her gentle smile.
The royal carriage carrying Joffrey and Margaery slowly moved towards the city, followed by a series of House Tyrell carriages decorated with gilded Roses.
Then came knights in shining armor, holding high the Golden Rose and the banners of the various lords of the Riverlands, forming a long procession that stretched far beyond Kings Gate, as if endless.
"Long live Margaery!"
"Long live Margaery!!"
"Margaery! Margaery! Margaery!"
As Margaery passed, the people of King's Landing all cheered her name, scattering countless petals around the carriage, and women held up their children, hoping to receive her blessing.
"Margaery! Margaery! Margaery!"
"Margaery! Margaery! Margaery!"
King Joffrey was initially in a joyful mood, waving to the people outside the carriage from time to time, but when he heard only Margaery's name, his smile first stiffened, and then his face showed a hint of gloom.
At this moment, Margaery gently put her arm around one of Joffrey's arms.
Joffrey frowned, but... his cold green eyes met a pair of gentle and bright brown eyes.
Margaery looked at him adoringly, her clear voice filled with gratitude: "My King, because of you, I can enjoy such glory."
After speaking, she couldn't suppress her joy and couldn't help but lightly kiss Joffrey's cheek.
"Long live the King! Long live the Queen!"
"Long live the King! Long live the Queen!"
"Long live the King! Long live the Queen!"
Seeing this scene, a greater cheer erupted outside the carriage, and the enthusiasm of the people seemed to ignite the sky of King's Landing.
A rare hint of embarrassment flashed across the face of Joffrey the Great.
He raised his head and said, "Please sit properly, My future Queen."
Margaery seemed to blush from her earlier impulse, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she nodded gently, saying, "As you command, My King."
Margaery's obedience made King Joffrey show a satisfied expression.
When he waved to the people outside the carriage again, the smile on his face became much more natural.
...
Soft sunlight streamed down, casting a faint golden glow over all of King's Landing.
The waves of sound from the people grew clearer, from distant to near.
After a while, with the Stag-Lion banner and the Rose banner fluttering, the King's carriage slowly approached the Red Keep, escorted by Red Cloak knights.
