The blood on these straps is real human blood, just from the assassins.
The assassin is also real, and Linn paid for it himself and asked Varys to hire it!
Two days later, Linn, wearing formal clothes with a faint smell of blood, came to the Iron Throne Hall and met Duke Tywin again.
Duke Tywin was sitting on the Iron Throne, with thick golden beard on his temples and looking at him with light green eyes. Linn even found that this old man had an aura like a lion, a powerful old man, and even his eyes had a touch of golden color.
Even though he is sitting on the throne, he is still dressed in pitch black armor, with bright lions carved in gold, and wearing a blood-red cloak. The strong color contrast easily attracts people's attention to him.
In the hall, in addition to Duke Tywin, Queen Cersei, Intelligence Director Varys, Grand Maester Pycelle and many other members of the Royal Council, there were also many King's Landing officials and nobles.
There is only one purpose for everyone gathered here today, Lin En’s canonization,
As for the canonization of other heroes, it is arranged after Tommen ascends the throne. It can also enhance Tommen's prestige.
The Duke read out the reward given to Linn by the Royal Council in public. At this moment, he officially became the Duke of Storm's End!
Everyone in the hall applauded him,
It was also at this time that everyone discovered that the Imperial Council did not give Lin En any support.
How can we retake Storm's End without giving money or troops?
The most important thing is that he didn't even give him the Stormland nobles captured in the Battle of the Blackwater River!
Everyone had different expressions. Looking at Lin En, there was no envy in his eyes, only gloating and subtle sympathy.
Linn killed so many soldiers and nobles from the Stormlands in the Blackwater River. He only had hatred with the local nobles. Now he went alone. If it was just the Earl of Storm's End, they might not be able to do anything.
But the Duke of Storm's End?
The entire Stormlands is nominally his fiefdom, and everyone must pay taxes to him!
It suddenly becomes unacceptable for someone to have an enemy with no foundation as their lord.
The best solution is for Lin En to take the prisoners from the Battle of Blackwater back. With the support of these nobles and their families, he may be able to gain a firm foothold.
But now, Tywin didn't let anyone go!
With these Stormlands nobles in Tywin's hands, not to mention that Linn cannot capture Storm's End alone. Even if he does, he may not survive long.
Lin En's expression was as usual, as if he didn't know the twists and turns inside, and he just said eagerly:
"Prime Minister, Storm's End is still in the hands of the rebels. In order to return it to the kingdom's rule as soon as possible, I hope to set out immediately to regain the lost territory for the kingdom as a gift to congratulate the new king Tommen on his ascension to the throne!"
This is exactly what Tywin wanted. If Lin stayed in King's Landing and refused to leave, Tywin would be in trouble.
In particular, Lin En personally said the words to congratulate the new king Tommen, which further showed his attitude.
Tywin nodded with satisfaction, "That's fine. I wish Duke Lynn all the best!"
Lin En walked out of the Red Keep and planned to leave King's Landing directly, but before leaving, he had to meet a friend.
Tyrion still lived in that cabin, and Linn knocked on his door.
"Who?" A nervous voice sounded,
Lin En sneered and said, "Are you so afraid of death?"
There was a sigh of relief inside. Tyrion stepped on the bench and opened the door for Linn.
As soon as Lin entered the door, he sat down on the chair and said, "Come on, salute the Duke!"
"Also, let your little lover come out together and salute the Duke!"
Tyrion ignored him, stuck his head out to look, and then closed the door tightly.
Then his prostitute lover, Xue Yi, was pulled out from behind the curtain.
She is indeed a beauty, with a beautiful face and fair skin. At this moment, she was nervous and wanted to salute Linn, but Tyrion stopped her.
"This is Lin En, my... friend!" After speaking, he turned to look at Lin En and introduced:
"This is Xue Yi, my love!"
Lin En nodded, "It's really enviable that I dare to stay by your side at this time."
"It's a pity that I didn't bring any gifts. Why don't you give me a salute?"
"So you will be the first person to salute me as a Duke! What an honor! Think about it?"
Shae hurriedly saluted. This time Tyrion did not pull her, but looked at Linn with wide eyes.
"Are you really made a Duke?"
"Yes, the Duke of Storm's End!"
Tyrion sighed, "The Prime Minister didn't ask you to take away those prisoners, right?"
Lin En laughed, "You really know your father!"
"What's so funny? Do you know you're about to die?"
"Don't worry, I can't die! You should worry about yourself!"
Tyrion went back to bed, and Shae brought a cup of tea over and handed it to Linn respectfully.
"Be casual and don't be too polite. Also, don't you suspect that this dwarf is ugly?" Lynn pointed at Tyrion and asked,
Shae smiled and said, "My lord, no one will think you are ugly!" After saying that, she sat back next to Tyrion.
Tyrion held her hand tightly,
Lin En, who was thrown aside, said angrily: "I came to say goodbye to you, not to see you fall in love!"
"Also, to be honest Tyrion, if you are willing to leave now, I can provide you with help and go to the other side of the Narrow Sea. Your life will be happy!"
Tyrion shook his head, "Shae and I have already discussed this issue, and we will not leave!"
"Okay, happy love or realizing your own value! If this is your choice." Linn stood up.
"It's time for me to leave. I really don't like this King's Landing very much!"
"Oh, by the way, I also have a bottle of ointment here, which has an excellent recovery effect on injuries. You can try it!"
After Linn finished speaking, he handed him a medicine bottle. Tyrion took it and put it on the table. He obviously didn't have any hope. He saw the injuries on his face. The injuries were extremely serious. It could even be said to be terrifying. I'm afraid no ointment would be needed.
Useless.
Lin En blinked and didn't say much. Anyway, whoever uses it knows.
"Tyrion, my friend, I am not trying to sow discord between your father and son, but if Lord Tywin has no intention of letting you inherit Casterly Rock, your situation is no safer than mine!"
"I understand! And I am willing to bear the consequences!"
Linn walked out of Tyrion's residence and rode straight out of the city without even going back to the residence.
One person and one horse, nothing superfluous.
After leaving the city, I laughed out loud and was in a great mood. The intrigues and intrigues were finally over!
Everything I planned went smoothly,
But now that he has everything he needs, the sky is really high and the sea is vast. If he leaves, he will turn it upside down.
Let this piece of Westeros be completely replaced by a new king!
…
Not long after Linn left the city, a Tyrell family carriage, escorted by many knights, drove into King's Landing.
"The abominable thief of Green Valley City must be that Lin En! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he just got so much food? They won't fall from the sky!"
"But miss, we have no evidence!"
"What evidence do you want? I just want his people!"
