The regent queen mother's lips thinned, and anger showed on her face. "No one can take Joffrey away. If I say this letter is fake and order them to throw you into the Black Cells, I promise, no one would dare disobey me."
Tyrion looked at his sister's face. The regent queen mother was angry, angry at her father's refusal to obey her command, that her decrees were not unimpeded.
At this moment, Tyrion realized he too was walking on thin ice. The regent queen mother's wisdom was far inferior to her beauty. If he spoke incorrectly, Cersei would absolutely throw him into the Black Cells. So Tyrion immediately softened his tone to his good sister, first reminding her of their father's army, then reminding her that he had traveled a thousand miles to help.
"I don't want you to mess things up; I only ordered my father to attend court as commanded."
"Is that so?" Tyrion said calmly, "What you want is Jaime."
Tyrion didn't want to bring up his brother's name right now, but the rumors were not like the wind; Robert's will was now common knowledge. the three storms were setting fires across the kingdom, even dragging in the trout and the Direwolf.
"Silence, Jaime he…" the regent queen mother said uneasily. His sister thought herself clever and experienced, but Tyrion had grown up with her and knew her personality inside out. Reading her facial expressions was as easy as reading his favorite book. What he read now was anger, fear, and unease.
"Recovering from a serious illness, he is now recuperating in Gold Tooth. But the situation is not optimistic. Without his sword hand, my brother has gone from being the Kingslayer to being called 'the maimed' and 'the cripple' by many."
"Damn it. Whoever says that, I'll cut out his tongue," the regent queen mother raged. "A debt will be paid. I will make The Boy Blacksmith pay the price sooner or later."
"What's worse is now," Tyrion said. "The Boy Blacksmith of House Baratheon has already taken some interest from us, and Stark and Tully have been angered by us, now furious."
"Enough, I don't want to hear complaints, but solutions," the regent queen mother waved her hand. "And Jaime, why hasn't Jaime written to me? Instead, he wrote to father first."
"He's more injured than you think. That young rascal Robert left behind is ruthless and troublesome. Besides his sword hand, Jaime also has an ugly scar on his face. Fortunately, the bone on his nose wasn't cut off, only some flesh was shaved off, from his nose to above his right eye socket. If my brother hadn't been so lucky, he would have had his head smashed open like that idiot Amory." Tyrion said in a low voice. He certainly favored his brother, but the enemy was even more fearless and fierce.
"A scar on his face, but I wouldn't despise him. He should have written me a letter," the regent queen mother said guiltily. She couldn't believe her brother Jaime was so severely injured, never dared to believe it. If his natural beauty was gone, replaced by a resentful cripple, would she still be willing to sleep with Jaime?
Tyrion saw Cersei's guilt and felt it was critical. He had known beforehand that their relationship was intimate, but he hadn't expected it to be even more outrageous than he thought.
"Let's not talk about avenging The Boy Blacksmith yet; the Northern Army is also coming now, and father is considering how to deal with the crisis. He should have told you that Riverrun has already fallen," Tyrion said to his sister.
The regent queen mother nodded, "I know of the Frey Family's downfall, but I haven't released the news, otherwise it would be fatal. You must have already seen the ghostly state of King's Landing, the people are starving and complaining about us. If Riverrun falls, the Northern Army, the trout, and even The Boy Blacksmith can mobilize northern forces, making King's Landing even more chaotic."
