She seemed to be sighing, "Loras... the Knight of Flowers, known throughout the Seven Kingdoms... such a beautiful child... he's only sixteen..."
Her tone shifted, and Lady Olenna's hand trembled, "The thought of Loras's tragic death at the tourney, and Garlan losing an arm to avenge Loras, fills my heart with rage."
"Alas..." Lady Olenna's sigh was filled with deep helplessness.
After a pause, she continued, "Emotionally, as Loras's grandmother, I only want, I very much want to kill the Little Lion of Riverrun to avenge my grandson. But I am not only Loras's grandmother; Willas, Garlan, and you... Margaery, I am also your grandmother. While I am still alive, before I embrace the stranger, to leave a stronger Golden Rose for you, that is your good grandmother."
"Grandmother..."
Lady Olenna sighed again, "Tywin's son was very lucky. I originally had a little expectation... In a rage, someone would kill Tywin's son on the spot, at least one. It's clear that the Little Lion is not foolish, rather, very clever. I think they were able to escape Riverrun in time because they had prepared for unexpected events in advance. So, the chaos in Riverrun actually gave them a good chance to escape."
She tapped the armrest: "Riverrun lost its original heir, who died at a Lannister wedding feast, and there's no longer any possibility of peace between Stark and Lannister. That Little Wolf Cub, who loves playing the game of thrones, even for the support of the Riverlands lords, must be a mortal enemy of Lannister."
Her fingers paused: "The Little Wolf Cub, who swept through the Westerlands and is filled with the fire of hatred, is the good opponent I specifically left for Tywin. He will constantly deplete Lannister's strength... And the increasingly weakened Lannister will only have to rely more on the support of the House Tyrell, including King Joffrey."
"To borrow the Little Fox's words (Chapter 121)... 'The Rose of King's Landing, never withers.'"
"This is the Golden Rose this old woman wants to leave for you to inherit, and this is the last lesson this old woman teaches you (Chapter 269)."
"My Margaery, wear the crown of the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms well."

Seven days later, maidenpool.
Tyrion looked at Bronn, who had changed into a Lannister red robe, and said with an exaggerated tone, "Are you planning to defect again? Oh... my captain of the guard?"
Bronn spread his hands and said, "Lord Tyrion, at that time there were no other clothes to change into, please believe me... I am always your man."
Tyrion first patted his chest, then warned, "That blue cloak, Green wants to charge me 50 gold dragons for it. You must treat it well."
Bronn pinched his chin and said, "My Lord, is it possible it was 5 silver stag?"
Tyrion's expression froze. After a pause, he groaned in pain, "No wonder Green was smiling so happily... He deceived the Lion's feelings..."
Bronn's smile was still lewd, but it was clear he was also very happy.
Tyrion's gaze was suspicious. Bronn quickly reiterated his loyalty, "My Lord, I absolutely have no intention of joining Crabb, not at all. Although Count Crabb is generous enough to his soldiers, the laws he enacts are too strict. During war, not only can you not drink, but you also can't seek out beautiful women, and you can't do anything without orders..."
He criticized Crabb's strict laws for a while, finally saying, "I'd go crazy there."
Bronn's smile was fawning: "My noble Lord Tyrion, the loyal Bronn will always follow you."
While speaking of loyalty, Bronn's eyes were fixed on the money pouch at Tyrion's waist.
Tyrion habitually untied the money pouch, but his movement paused, and he suddenly said, "Why do you know so much about Crabb's military rules, my extremely loyal Bronn?"
Bronn's face stiffened for a moment. He forced a flattering smile: "My Lord, as your captain of the guard, it is my duty to learn as much as possible about those around you."
Tyrion tossed the money pouch in his hand, grinning: "I'm starting to believe your loyalty more and more, Sellsword."
Seeing Bronn about to leave after taking the money, Tyrion asked, "You seem to be in a hurry?"
Bronn stopped, a lewd smile on his face: "My Lord, I found a good place, and my new love is waiting for me, she can't wait."
