Edmure Tully nodded slightly, hearing Tyrion's assurance.
Tyrion yawned widely, saying lazily, "I barely slept last night; those legs from Myr were just… I couldn't stop."
He grinned, a lewd smile on his face: "Again tonight?"
Edmure really wanted to agree immediately, but he knew it would be difficult to leave tonight's banquet early… Actually, one could discreetly enjoy themselves during the banquet, and others would just see it as entertainment… But while others could, he could not, because he was the heir to the Duke of Riverrun… Everyone was watching him.
A sudden, inexplicable emotion welled up in Edmure's heart; the pain of being the heir to the Duke of Riverrun… having to sneak out of the city like a thief after sunset to seek pleasure… who could understand?
To be honest, the first time Edmure met the Lannister Dwarf, he disliked him, feeling that speaking to him was an insult.
But after a little contact, Edmure had to admit that Tyrion… wasn't bad. He was very good at having fun, and Edmure had learned… quite a few new things.
Most importantly… he could legitimately stay at the inn Tyrion had rented in Riverrun, under the guise of hosting the Red Keep envoy.
Recalling the "interesting things" of the past few days, Edmure sighed again; Tyrion really knew how to have fun, he regretted not meeting him sooner.
Tyrion wouldn't be staying in Riverrun for long, so he had to cherish it… Edmure Tully nodded slightly, maintaining his composure, then lifted his chin and left.
… … … …
Tyrion watched Edmure's somewhat hurried retreating figure, a pleased smile on his face.
The moment Edmure saw the beauties Tyrion had brought to Riverrun, Tyrion knew… this was a big boy who had been "repressed" for a long time, and he, of course, had the right "medicine."
After more contact, Tyrion also discovered that Edmure himself was a kind-hearted person; if not for the War of the Five Kings, he would certainly have been Joffrey's "obedient" Duke of Riverrun in the future.
As fellow heirs, Jaime was much luckier than Edmure; although Duke Tywin was strict, he was very lenient with him.
Tyrion looked up at the azure sky, perhaps… when Jaime donned the white cloak, although Duke Tywin didn't explicitly show it, he knew in his heart that Jaime had renounced his status as heir to Casterly Rock.
Tyrion felt that when he was fulfilling the duties of Hand for his father, he had delivered a satisfactory report card.
Surrounded by powerful enemies, he had preserved the Lannister Iron Throne and their glory, and saved hundreds of thousands of people in King's Landing. Tyrion felt that he was now qualified to sit opposite Duke Tywin and talk.
Tyrion put his hands behind his back and began to walk, humming a tune in high spirits.
… … … …
… … … …
At the gates of Riverrun, Robb Stark sat atop a tall horse with a glossy black mane, while Edmure stood respectfully in front of the crowded people.
King Robb declared loudly, "Edmure, our kingdom will never forget the warriors who bravely sacrificed themselves in the Battle of the Red Fork River. It is because of the strength shown by the North and Riverrun that Tywin Lannister was so frustrated and forced to turn back to deal with Stannis, and this is also your achievement."
