Chapter 434 Anxious
King's Landing City, Red Castle.
Today is Queen Cersei Lannister's name day, but Lord Tywin did not throw a grand banquet.
The reason is that it is declared to the outside world that the war is imminent, and I don't want it to affect the morale of the army.
But the real reason Tyrion knew very well was that there was a lack of food in the city.
Therefore, it is impossible to hold a large banquet. The name day banquet of the empress dowager of the Seven Kingdoms only invited a few core members of the Lannister family, and it was a simple family banquet.
Of course, from Tyrion's point of view, the food on the table can be called rich. Servants served creamy chestnut soup, crispy warm bread and vegetable salad, followed by eel pie, honey-glazed ham, buttered carrots, white bean bacon, and roast swan stuffed with mushrooms and oysters, and panna cotta for dessert .
In such a season, being able to eat such a delicious table, Tyrion felt that he had nothing to complain about.
But Cersei, who is the protagonist of the banquet, obviously doesn't think so.
She wore a dark green velvet low-cut dress today, which matched her green eyes, her long golden hair was draped over her bare shoulders, and a webbing inlaid with emeralds was tied around her waist. She looked very charmingโ
It would be more attractive if her face is not so gloomy.
"Have we fallen to this point?" Cersei finally couldn't help asking.
Although the form of the banquet was decided by Duke Tywin, she obviously didn't dare to blame her father, so when she said this, she kept her eyes on her younger brother Tyrion.
Tyrion respectfully cut off the fattest part of the swan, gave it to his sister, and said:
"If you have time, you can go to the head of the city and look south. The camp of Caesar's army on the other side stretches for several miles along the river bank."
"They haven't crossed the river yet." Cersei said disapprovingly, her pair of beautiful green eyes stared at her younger brother, "How on earth do you work as a logistics officer? The enemy hasn't come yet, and we are almost out of food. ?โ
"I also feel that I am really not competent." Tyrion followed his sister's words, while looking at his father, "Perhaps you can find a more suitable person to take over my job."
Duke Tywin ignored his son.
Cersei opened her mouth, but didn't dare to make her own claim.
Tyrion actually looked a little disappointed: "Well, it seems that you can't find a more suitable candidate. So, dear sister, please be patient for a little longer." Please visit fr๐๐w๐.๐ธ๐๐ช website to read fastest update
"How long will you have to endure?" Cersei said dissatisfied.
Tyrion said frivolously:
"That depends on how long our wise and mighty father can defeat Caesar."
Duke Tywin finally raised his head, glanced at his son expressionlessly, and said:
"I never thought you were afraid to kill me." Tyrion retorted.
"Then go and collect the food in the city immediately."
After speaking, Duke Tywin turned around and strode away, as if he didn't want to stay in the same room with his son for a moment.
Tyrion walked back to the dining room with his short legs, and saw that the roast goose had been eaten.
"Oh, dear sister, you are really considerate."
Cersei wiped the oil from her lips, and smiled triumphantly:
"The season is tough, don't waste it."
Tyrion laughed and shook his head, climbed back into the chair, and went to eat leftovers.
And Duke Tywin lost his appetite and left straight away.
Cersei looked at her father's back and said:
"Did you say the wrong thing again just now?"
Tyrion stuffed the bread into his mouth and said vaguely:
"It's not the first time I've said something wrong. However, it's really not because of me that my father is so irritable."
"What is that for?"
"Of course it's because of Caesar on the other side."
"Caesar?" Cersei squinted at her younger brother, "It's not the first day he has appeared on the other side. Why is father suddenly so irritable recently?"
"Because Caesar never crossed the river."
Cersei wondered: "Isn't it a good thing not to cross the river?"
Tyrion sighed: "We can't afford it."
"Because of food?"
Because sooner or later the Braavosi will find out that they have been duped. Tyrion almost said this, but realized that it is better not to let too many people know this secret, so he changed his words:
"That's right. It's because of food."
"You are responsible for the food." Cersei said triumphantly, "So father is angry because of you."
Tyrion rolled his eyes, said nothing, and buried himself in the cold bread.
