------------------------------------------
Unfortunately for him, Edward did not plan to unify the seven kingdoms at this point. Plus, he was sure that he would not need Tywin's help to do so even he did that at the moment. Edward decided to wait for the seven kingdoms to kill each other and then take everything for himself. Why would he sacrifice his men without any reason? Yeah, he could become the king instead of Robert, but the other houses would still have much authority by which they could rebel against his descendants.
Edward preferred to exhaust the other kingdom's resources before taking the thrones. He would be the king of Stormsland for now.
"I will think about that." Said Tywin as he stood up. He was not going to give Edward a reply at the moment. He did not want to look desperate. But in fact, he was really desperate. The Targaryens were a stone waiting on his heart all that time, and if he could get rid of them using Edward's help, he would not mind serving as Edward's hand when he became the king but on the condition that Edward would marry his daughter.
"As you wish, Lord Tywin. We would have our time to have another nice chat during this tourney." Said Edward with a flashing smile. He was behaving abnormally in front of Tywin.
Edward had decided to change his methods a little. What he learned today was enough for him to make him act like that. Edward would say something and mean another. He would play with his words and expression and be shameless enough to put down grudges in front of benefits. He would take his revenge after getting his promised rewards.
Tywin nodded his head a little before heading outside. He would have to think carefully before joining hands with Edward as such a secret could be the end of him and his family.
After Tywin left the tent, Edward's men finally entered. They wanted to have a private talk with Edward the whole time.
Most of them were upset at the moment, even after all the achievements they made during this tourney.
When Edward saw their look when they entered the tent, he could only sigh, especially after seeing the angry look on Brown's face. He knew why they were behaving like that at the moment. He had a promise and acted differently.
"All of you have a seat." Said Edward as he signaled them to take their seats. He did not hide any secrets from these eight men in front of him. They were the completely loyal group towards him, and he was sure that they would not even have different thoughts for even a little.
"Speak your mind. I would answer anything you want." Said Edward as he saw the troubled look on all their faces. He knew that they wanted to ask him, but they were afraid that they would make him angry.
Brown seemed that he gathered his courage and decided to ask the most significant question.
"Why are you treating Tywin Lannister nicely, my lord? Was not he the one who sent those assassins back then? We swore to avenge Commander Arc at that time." Said Brown as he was the closest one to death among the present eight. He had witnessed everything himself and saw the death of his friend back then. He wished he could kill Tywin Lannister at the moment.
Seeing his pained expression, Edward could only sigh. He owned William Arc a life for saving his life back when he got nearly killed. Edward was taking care of Arc's family till the moment. He was preparing to make his son, Eric, a lord in the future.
"All of you know that I hate the Lannisters more than anyone. I got nearly killed myself at that time. I am only treating Tywin like that for benefits. What could I do to him at the moment? Plus, do you think it would be enough for me to kill Tywin just like that? Would not it be more painful if you first killed his subordinates followed by his family before his eyes before killing him?" Said Edward as he looked at everyone. He knew they would go with whatever decision he made, but Edward did not want them to have even a particle of dought towards him.
Clinn and Flip seemed to understand what their lord was talking about. They were the brightest in this direction, after all. The rest were more inclined towards military affairs than politics.
"I don't understand, my lord." Said Jeffry, who was staying silent all that time. Jeffry and William always saw each other as rivals. They were the commanders of the second and third units, after all. The commander of each unit got chosen based on competition. For example, Since Jon Clinn was the best among them, he got appointed as the first unit's commander. Brown, who was the weakest, was the commander of the eighth unit.
"I can't kill Tywin right now in this tourney or under the Targaryen's rule. Plus, as I said would not it be better to destroy his house to the ground?" Explained Edward with a smile. This explanation was enough for his men to understand, or they would not be worth calling themselves his as the commanders that worked under him.
"You all have to wait. I promise you that in the next twenty years, all the seven kingdoms will bend the knee. We would be the sold ruler of Westeros, and if anyone even dared to speak, we would crush them. The Lannisters would be the first on our list." Said Edward with a determined look. He had to assure those eight. They had been through a lot with him, and they deserve to receive their rewards.
He had already appointed Elbert Pineapple as the lord of the Summoning Hall and Lance Stonewood as the lord of Helltown. The two castles should get completed by the end of this year.
