Chapter 59 Chapter 58: Tyrion

Dressing alone in the dark, he listened to his sleeping wife's soft breathing.She's dreaming, he thought, and Sansa murmured in her dream—something like a name, indistinct—and rolled over.As husband and wife, they share a bed, but the relationship ends there.She wouldn't even let him see the tears. When he told her about her brother's death in person, he thought she would be in pain or anger, but she didn't. Sansa's expression was as calm as ever, and he couldn't help thinking that the other party didn't understand at all.It was only afterwards, after the heavy oaken door separated the husband and wife, that her sobs came.Tyrion wanted to rush in and comfort her.No, he reminded himself, the last thing she wanted to see right now was Lannis's housekeeper.All he could do was hide the sordid details of the Red Wedding, keep Sansa from knowing that her brother was beheaded and insulted, and that his mother's body was thrown naked into the Green Fork in a savage satire of the Tully family. Funeral customs.You have had enough nightmares, boy.

No, he knew he hadn't done enough, but what could he do? He wrapped his cloak around her shoulders and swore to protect her forever, and this, and the Freys who sewed the wolf's head on Robb Stark's body, And wearing a crown for it is just a cruel joke.Sansa knew all about that.The way she looked at him, her stiff body on the bed... When the husband and wife were reunited, he never dared to forget who he was or what he looked like for a moment.She didn't forget either.The wife still went to the godswood to pray every night, and Tyrion wondered if she prayed for his death.She lost her home and lost her support. In this world, everyone she loved or trusted went to her grave.Winter is approaching, and the Stark family lives up to their word.For the Lannister family, it is really hot summer, why am I so miserable?

He put on his boots, fastened his cloak with a lion's head brooch, and stepped out of the candlelit corridor.Being able to avoid Maegor's Tower was the only good thing marriage had done him.With his wife and servants, his lord father decided to find him a good place to live, so he roughly kicked Earl Gales from the top floor of the kitchen castle.This floor is indeed spacious, with not only a large bedroom and matching study, but also a bathroom and dressing room for the wife, and small rooms for Pod and Sansa's maids. Even Bronn lived in the staircase. The guest room with the window next to it—well, it's actually an arrow hole, but it somehow lets in the light.The great castle kitchen was just across the yard, but Tyrion thought it better to put up with a little smell and noise than to share Maegor's House with his sister.The farther away from Cersei, the happier he is.

As he passed the room, he heard Bereena snoring—Shae often complained about it, but it was worth the price.This woman was recommended by Varys. She used to be Lord Renly's steward in King's Landing. She had experienced the world and knew how to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Tyrion lit a candle and went down the servants' stairs.The floor was solid, and I could only hear my own footsteps.He went down, down to the ground, down into the ground, and came to a dark cellar with a stone vault.Intertwined passages connect all parts of the Red Castle, and the Kitchen Castle is no exception.Tyrion paced down a long dark passage and pushed open the door at the end.

The dragon skull and Shae are waiting for him. "I thought the adults had forgotten me." Her clothes hung on a black tooth that was as tall as hers, and the woman herself sat naked in the dragon's mouth.Is this Balerion, or Vagar? Their heads are equally massive. Just looking at her made him harden. "Come out." "No," said Shae with an evil smile, "come, my lord, and rescue me from the dragon's mouth." As he lurched closer, she leaned in and blew out the candle. "Shae..." He reached for it, but she avoided it skillfully. "Come and catch me," her voice came from the darkness, "My lord must have played the game of virgins and monsters when I was a child."

"You call me a monster?" "I said I'm a virgin." With soft footsteps, she dodged behind him, "Come on, catch me." He grabbed it for a long time, and finally managed to barely succeed, so he suspected that she missed it on purpose.When she got into his arms, he was out of breath, blushing, and tripped over the keel involuntarily.But she pressed her small breasts against his cheek in the dark, and the hard little nipples lightly brushed the scars on his lips and nose, and all the fatigue and hesitation were swept away in an instant.Tyrion pinned Shae to the floor. "My giant," she murmured as he thrust into her, "my giant has come to save me."

Afterwards, the two fell into Long's mouth inextricably, and he leaned on her body, enjoying the fresh fragrance of the woman's hair. "Let's go," finally Tyrion reluctantly said, "It's almost dawn, and Sansa is going to get up." "You should feed her sleeping wine," Shae suggested, "Countess Tanda treats Norris like this. Before she goes to bed, she has a big glass full, and she doesn't know even if we fuck her on her bed. She giggled and said, "My lord, let's try it someday, shall we?" She put her arms around his shoulders and massaged him. "Oh, your neck is as stiff as a stone. What's the matter?"

Though he could not see his fingers, Tyrion counted with them. "What, my wife, sister, nephew, father, the Tyrell family." He held out his other hand. "Varys, Pycelle, Littlefinger, the Red Viper of Dorne." Only the last finger remained. "The face you see every morning when you wash your face." She kissed his broken nose. "It's a brave face, kind and cheerful. I wish I could see it now." All the sweet innocence of the world is contained in her beautiful voice.Naive? Fool, she's a whore, and she only knows what's between her legs when it comes to men.Fool, big fool! "I'd rather see you," said Tyrion, sitting up. "Come on, there's a lot to do today, and it's not easy for you or me. Oh, I shouldn't have blown out the candle, it's black and white, How do you find clothes?" '

Xue Yi smiled coquettishly, "Let's go out naked." Is that so? To be seen, you must teach my father to hang himself.Adopting Shae as Sansa's handmaid brought them closer, but Tyrion remained wary because Varys had warned him, "I made a fake background for Shae, but I could only fool Lo Lisi and Sister Tan, the Countess, cannot fool Sister Ling. If she becomes suspicious..." "I'm sure you can lie for me." "There is nothing I can do about it. I have to tell Cersei that this girl was a camp whore you took before the Battle of the Green Fork, and brought to King's Landing in defiance of her father's orders. I cannot lie to the queen."

"You often lie to her! Shall I tell her the truth?" The eunuch sighed, "Oh my lord, this makes me so sad. You know, I have always been loyal to you, but I also have to serve the Queen Mother. If there is no use value, how could she spare my life?" ?I have no vicious mercenaries, no heroic brothers, only a few little birds. Relying on their intelligence, I can survive day by day.” "Sorry, I won't cry for you." "Really? Excuse me, and I'm not going to cry over what happened to Shae. To tell you the truth, I don't understand how a smart man like you can get a woman out of his head?"

"Of course you don't understand, you're a eunuch." "Really? Between the brain and the lump of soft flesh between the legs?" Varys chuckled. "Well, maybe I should congratulate myself." The octospider was right.Tyrion fumbled for his clothes in the dark room where the keels lay, fearful.Not only was he extremely nervous about the risk he was taking, but he was also filled with guilt.Fuck it, the White Walkers feel guilty, he thought as he put on his coat, what am I guilty of? My wife doesn't want me at all, especially the part of me that wants her the most.Maybe I should tell her about Shae honestly. I am not the first nobleman to have a mistress.Didn't Sansa's own honorable father also have an illegitimate child? As long as she clearly promises never to touch her, Sansa will let him and Shae have fun. No, this won't work.Although his wife had made a marriage vow, she could not be trusted after all.She's innocent between her legs, but she's no stranger to treachery—she's the one who leaked her father's plans to Cersei.Even putting aside all the past, a girl of this age cannot keep a secret by herself. The only safe way is to send Shae away.How about sending her to Shataya? Tyrion thought reluctantly.In Shataya's brothel, Shae could wear her favorite silk and precious stones and entertain handsome and gentle guests. Isn't this kind of life much different from the situation when I first met her? Maybe, if she gets tired of the hustle and bustle, I'll find her a husband.Would Bronn be okay? The mercenary, who had always been devoted to him, was now a knight, and he was an excellent match for her.What about Ser Tallard? Tyrion had seen him eyeing Shae lustfully.What's wrong? The hedge knight is tall and strong, with a dash of good looks, just like a young hero.Now, of course, Tallard thought Shae was just a lady's pretty maid.If, after marriage, it turns out that she—— "My lord, where are you? Hee hee, have you been eaten by a dragon?" "No, here I am," he held on to the keel, "I just found a shoe, it seems to be yours." "My lord's voice sounds so serious. Did I make you unhappy?" "Where," he said slowly, "you've been my joy." That's our real danger.Every time he wanted to send her away, his determination would not last long in front of her smile.Through the darkness, Tyrion could vaguely see Shae slipping the wool stockings on her long, slender legs.Can you see? The light had seeped into the long, narrow windows high up in the cellar wall, and the dragon skulls of House Targaryen loomed around them like shadows in a gray mist. "It's dawn." It's a new day, a new year, a new century.I survived the fight on the Green Fork and the Blackwater, and I could have survived Joffrey's wedding the fucking way. Shae took off the skirt from Dragon Fang and put it on her head. "I'll go up first, Berena needs to help prepare the bath water together." She bent down and gave him a last kiss, right between the eyebrows. "My Lannister giant, I love you." I love you too, honey.She was just a whore, but I deserve her to have a good rest of her life, better than staying with me.I will let Ser Tallard marry you.He's a decent guy, tall...
