章 67: 67
Chapter 209: The First Step of Revenge
Just as Jack was preparing to explore the New World, undercurrents began to surge in Westeros again.
Ever since the higher-ups proposed the trial by combat, Tyrion has approached many people, including Bronn, but no one is willing to fight for him.
Because Cersei found the Mountain to fight for her, and the Mountain's height of two meters and four was enough to make anyone Tyrion knew retreat.
Jaime, the only one who might fight for Tyrion, is pressured by Tywin and strictly forbidden to have any contact with Tyrion.
Just when Tyrion thought that the Mountain was going to tear a dwarf apart in public, an unexpected person found him.
Prince Martell, Oberyn Martell.
Tyrion never expected that it would be Prince Oberyn of Dorne who would be willing to fight for him.
The reason given by Oberyn was revenge!
He wanted to collect some interest first, and at the highly anticipated tournament, he wanted the Mountain to publicly admit that he had murdered Elia and her two children under Tywin's instructions.
"I am only participating in the trial by combat for revenge. You can certainly refuse me for the sake of the family's reputation, but I don't think anyone else is willing to fight for you except me."
Oberyn's magnetic voice echoed in Tyrion's ears for a long time.
Looking at Oberyn's comfortable look, Tyrion knew that he was confident at the moment.
This was indeed the case. Tyrion couldn't refuse. What a damn family reputation. It was worthless in his eyes at the moment. He just wanted to survive.
Eventually Tyrion made Oberyn his acting knight.
Oberyn smiled with satisfaction, then raised the torch and left the dungeon.
The dungeon returned to darkness, with only the sound of Tyrion's breathing.
Oberyn was in a good mood on his way back. In the trial by combat a week later, he would definitely torture the Mountain and make him admit Tywin's crimes, bringing disgrace to Tywin and the Lannister family.
At this moment, Oberon suddenly stopped, and under the eerie flickering firelight, a big bald head appeared in front of him.
"Lord Varys is not sleeping at this hour. Are you planning to go to a brothel to satisfy your sexual urge when no one is around?"
Oberon's voice was full of teasing, but his eyes kept scanning the surroundings.
"Oh, my Lord, I have long since given up on such low-level desires." Varys was not angry at Oberyn's teasing. "What did you say to Tyrion in the middle of the night?"
Varys's little birds are all over King's Landing, so he naturally knows that Oberyn is looking for Tyrion.
But he didn't know what Oberyn and Tyrion talked about, but Varys already had a guess in his mind, so he wanted to come over and make a guess.
The sound of insects chirping is endless, and there is a breeze blowing from time to time.
Oberyn didn't say anything. The surroundings were eerily quiet. Varys just looked at Oberyn quietly, waiting for his answer.
"Haha." Oberon suddenly laughed, breaking the depressing silence.
"I was talking to Tyrion about something that had nothing to do with you. You are such a loyal dog. Why weren't you so loyal when the Targaryens were destroyed?"
Varys folded his hands in his wide sleeves, and an innocent look appeared on his fat face.
"Is Prince Oberyn angry because I didn't save Princess Elia? I tried my best, but the situation was too chaotic and I couldn't control everything."
Varys' tone was innocent, but Oberyn sneered at it.
Oberyn knew very well that the underground tunnels of the Red Castle were filled with Varys's little birds, and with Varys's ability, he could definitely send Elia out.
As long as Elia is sent back to Dorne, or even out of King's Landing, she will have a chance to survive.
But Varys seemed to have no idea about this. After Robert sat on the Iron Throne, he began to serve Robert again.
In fact, Oberyn knew very well that it was normal for Varys to not care about this matter, but Oberyn did not have a good impression of Varys because of this.
What's more, Varys is a very dangerous man. He came to Westeros from across the Narrow Sea to serve as the chief of intelligence. No one knows what this eunuch is thinking deep in his heart.
"You intend to fight for Tyrion in a trial by combat, and then to exact vengeance on the Lannisters?"
Varys kept staring into Oberyn's poisonous eyes after he said this.
However, Oberyn did not hide anything and spoke openly into Varys's small eyes.
"Yes, it's just what you guessed, but this is just the first step of revenge. I will watch Tywin lose everything with my own eyes!" Oberyn had a smile on his face.
Varys sighed and said in a puzzled tone: "You know that's impossible. The Lannisters are the most powerful duke family in the Seven Kingdoms and control the Iron Throne."
"The Lannisters used to be the strongest family, but not anymore. The strongest family now is the Poseidon family. They have four dragons!"
Oberyn's face was filled with an inexplicable satisfaction, as if he would feel extremely happy whenever Lannister was frustrated.
