35 The situation in Westeros

Early in the morning, the Black Castle at the foot of the Great Wall was suddenly awakened like a frightened beast.

Night watchmen in black robes can't help but look in a certain direction in the castle, whether they are eating, training, or walking.

Some people even whispered to their companions from time to time.

"Have you heard that, that adult is back."

"I heard about it and I was shocked."

...

"Have you heard it? That adult came back on a dragon."

"Who is that adult?"

"It's that person..."

...

"Have you heard that, the adult rode a dragon and cursed a large number of people when he came back. It is said that even Commander-in-Chief Mormon did not escape."

"How is that possible? Isn't that Lord a messenger of the gods?"

"How is it impossible? This was seen by the affairs officer Sam."

"The gods are above you, don't scare me."

"It's useless to ask the gods. Many people say that the master is not actually an envoy, but a real god descending to earth."

...

The ubiquitous discussion makes this castle, which is silent in the snow and ice, feel a rare buzz.

Some people who had already asked for something else were even more excited by the news and looked towards the King's Tower and were eager to try.

But while they were paying attention, they were even more puzzled.

How did the black young dragon soaring around the King's Tower bring an adult male back?

The body shape is obviously inconsistent...

Many people were excited, but for the parties involved, arriving here seemed no different from being in a mountain valley.

...

"Sir, during this time you are not here, we have caught a total of seven book thieves, and no one of them ran away."

A rough voice like asking for credit came from my ears, which was the iron legs of my former guard captain.

After Charles appeared, the man appeared in front of him immediately and quickly greeted him. At this moment, the two had already arrived in the King's Tower where Charles had lived.

"I sent them all to Donghai Wang to blow cold wind. If Mr. Xiong hadn't stopped me, I..."

Arriving outside a room in the tower, Iron Leg said while signaling the two soldiers guarding the door to push open the door, and then followed the young man into the quiet study.

There was a light shining in outside the narrow windows, and the bookshelf close to the books were stained with brightness. But looking around, most places still looked dead.

Of course, lifelessness does not mean dirty and messy.

After scanning the surroundings, there was no dust in this study room with an area of ​​only 30 square meters.

A gray-black shadow slowly appeared in the corner of the study since Charles came in, and his face was hard to see clearly.

This is the shadow servant Charles once made.

Because of the Sun Son's talent, Charles could not use it, so before leaving, he gave the order to clean the study, which seemed to continue until now.

"The turtle suddenly disappeared on the sixth day after you left. Someone of us saw it leaving Black Castle and heading south. Maybe he ran away. Sorry, sir, we..."

Before the iron legs could finish their words, a sudden burst of rushing sound came from the stairs behind them. After a while, a messy dwarf rushed out of the stairs.

He breathed heavily with his thick hands on his knees. After seeing Shire, the dwarf was obviously relieved and opened his mouth to say something, but because of gasping, he couldn't speak for a while.

The dull and blond hair was now messy, and the heavy yellow robe on his body was even worn in the opposite direction. It was obvious that he had just woken up.

Facing Charles' gaze, the dwarf pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly after he calmed down for a while.

"Sorry, I always like to sleep in when the weather is cold."

When Charles raised his eyebrows when he heard this, he was about to say something when another footstep suddenly sounded.

Then, a middle-aged woman in a red robe appeared in sight.

Facing the young figure standing at the door of the study, the woman in red robe watched for a while, bowed and said nothing, and suddenly turned around and left again.

"What does she mean?"

The dwarf touched his chin and walked closer to Shire, feeling inexplicable.

But he learned it soon, or heard the details.

The woman in red robe did not really leave, but guarded the gate of the King's Tower.

When Charles returned, many people came to visit one after another, but they were all stopped by her.

Facing many people, her tone was faint.

"Gods are not something ordinary people can see easily."

...

The captain of the guard did not stay for long, and at the signal of Charles, he went out to do whatever he should do. Only the dwarf was left in the quiet study, reporting to him about the matters during this period.

"Sir, after you left, nothing important happened here, except for the celestial transformation that had caused some chaos."

The sound of the crowd stopped outside the King's Tower was faintly audible, which made Tyrion, who was standing in the study, feel inexplicably restrained.

It was because of his natural personality that his tone was still normal. He even noticed that there was no big difference between Charles' hair and his former hair color, and his mood gradually relaxed.

"After two thousand troops returned not long ago, Robb Stark of the Stark family took his sister and his troops back to Winterfell. Now, except for a large number of savage night watchmen, the largest force in the Great Wall is only one thousand private soldiers, and those brought by the red-robed woman."

"During this period, many northern nobles came to ask for help, and it was very attractive to offer various price numbers, but I did not dare to agree without your consent."

He said, seeing Charles appearing a little absent-minded while sitting on the chair, he turned his eyes and decided to throw a heavyweight bomb.

"Your old acquaintance, Earl of Borton of the Fort Horror, died a week ago."

These words made Charles look stunned, and he unconsciously remembered the pervert who likes to play with leeches. He asked: "Why are you dead?"

"It is said that it was because he misunderstood a wild witch from Charalai who swallowed a bottle of potion that could delay the tanning function of the skin and was poisoned to death."

The dwarf said, coughing dryly: "But after I inquired it over and over again, I found that this matter was not that simple. The biological mother of the late illegitimate son of Earl Bolton seemed to be involved in this matter..."

Charles remembered that the illegitimate child was cut off by his father's head. Of course, he had not forgotten what he did before, so if he became serious, it seemed that this matter was related to him?

However, he had no intention of making a decision for the loser. Who asked him to cut off his own son's head and lick him? He was shocked at that time.

After a while of surprise, Charles signaled to continue speaking.

He was actually not very interested in these things, but he was a little unfamiliar with a sudden change of environment.

Although it didn't take long for the locals here, Charle himself felt that it had been so long for many years.

Tyrion noticed the change in his mindset, which made him a little curious about what this person had encountered during this period. It was becoming more and more unmannerable, or the young man's temperament became more and more youthful.

But there seems to be no way to ask for such private matters.

"This is probably the case here in the Great Wall, there is no special place. However, the relationship between the Stark family in the North and the King's Landing Stannis has eased, and recently it has even publicly supported Stannis' military operations."

At this point, he took a special glance at this person.

"The High Courts in the South, Stormland, have surrendered to King Stannis under the leadership of Lanley, and the southernmost Dorn still does not interfere with the King's Landing.

The Iron Islands are said to have changed their masters recently, and the younger brother of Greyjoy, Euron Greyjoy, has become the lord of the Iron Islands, and the current trend is not clear."

"The Elin family in the valley was destroyed. It is said that it was because of the ghost... Ahem, Stannis obviously would not believe this kind of foolish drama. I think his suspicion is the Earl family in the valley. However, because he is still targeting Lannister, he has no time to deal with the tragedy that happened in the valley."

He said this in a normal tone, but if he remembered correctly, Tyrion had the surname Lannister.

Charles then asked curiously: "Aren't you worried about your family?"

"Worry, what's the use of just worrying?"

Tyrion shrugged when he heard this: "If my father was wronged, I will definitely ask you for help now, although you may not necessarily help. But the fact is that my father sacrificed hundreds of thousands of royal citizens for his own benefit."

"From my personal perspective, I naturally went to the Lannister family, but from a moral perspective, I think Stannis did a good job. My selfishness made me hope that the family could survive this disaster, and just ask for help. Although I am a dwarf, I don't want to be too embarrassed."

This is a very interesting person, Charles thought.

This is also the reason why he is not very interested in others but has different attitudes towards this person at the moment.

Of course, he really didn't have the intention to take action.

"And I heard that my father found an ally overseas that seemed reliable."

Tyrion didn't know what Charles was thinking at the moment, and while speaking, he looked out the window: "It is said that ally also has two dragons, I don't know whether it is true or false."
