Earl Gavin rushed over with his family guards and saw Gregor carrying his daughter Jenny out of the room. He was furious. This devil had already been so brazen in abusing his daughter on their engagement day; what would happen after they got married?
Although Lord Gavin feared the Mountain, and the six family guards outwardly appeared angry but inwardly were truly uneasy, this was within Lord Tywin's main castle, where they were protected as guests. If the Mountain dared to act violently towards them, it would be both impolite and a desecration of Lord Tywin's dignity.
Therefore, their courage was several times greater than when they were ten miles north of Casterly Rock.
Earl Gavin mustered his courage and strode forward, about to demand an explanation, but found that his daughter was not making a fuss or crying. She was nestled obediently in Gregor's arms, showing no signs of the grievances he had expected, nor the tears and heartbreak he had imagined.
Earl Gavin was startled when he heard that the Mountain had come looking for his daughter. This beast wanted to resort to violence right after their engagement? In a panic, he hurriedly left the Earl's table where people were drinking and called the family guards from the ordinary soldiers' table outside. They all rushed over with their weapons.
Even if the Mountain is wicked, if he tries to bully his daughter on their engagement day, Count Gavin must stop him.
Although Earl Gavin's martial arts skills were average, he was a knight who had undergone rigorous training and had participated in real battles. Especially within the Duke's castle, his courage and boldness were further amplified.
"Jenny, are you alright?" Earl Gavin glared at the Mountain, then spoke softly to his daughter.
"I'm fine. Let's go to the Scholar's Tower. We're doing well." Jenny looked up at her father, then her gaze fell on her arms.
Gavin then noticed a snow-white object in Jenny's arms; judging from the shape, it looked like a Reese's cat. The thing didn't move, and his daughter was cradling it in her arms, so Earl Gavin couldn't be certain that it was indeed a Reese's cat.
Before he could react, the Mountain had already walked past them like the wind, leaving behind the words, "Earl Gavin, we're going to save lives first. We'll come back with Jenny to toast you later."
Earl Gavin and his indignant guards were bewildered.
The Mountain no longer addressed him as "Father-in-law," but instead called him Earl Gavin, just as before, albeit in a much gentler tone.
Lord Gavin didn't care about the Mountain's usual rudeness, vulgarity, and barbarity, such minor matters as calling him "father-in-law."
As long as my daughter isn't being bullied, that's all that matters!
Jenny's two guards came forward, and while Earl Gavin was asking Gregor if he had mistreated his daughter, Gregor had already led Jenny quite a distance, walking with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, his tall figure had entered the Scholar's Tower.
Footsteps sounded, and five men rushed out from another corridor. Each of them was fierce and strong, and they carried not swords or spears, but long iron poles with forked ends that resembled fishing nets.
Lord Gavin and his guards had never seen anything like it before.
"Earl, where is Sir Gregor?"
The Earl of Gavin points to the Bachelors Tower.
Where is Miss Jenny?
"Be with him."
"Quick, after them!" a burly man exclaimed in surprise.
The five men took off running, but after a few steps, they found that Earl Gavin and his guards had not moved.
These five men were centurions from Tywin Lannister's cavalry battalion. They were ordered by Tywin to stop the Mountain from harming Jenny.
"Count, let's go together. The more people we have, the better we'll be at dealing with that Demon Mountain," a centurion said.
"Sir Gregory and Miss Jenny are alright, they... um... are alright."
"Are you alright?" The five centurions, who had come with a mission, stopped together and asked in unison.
"Uh…we saw that Sir Gregor did not bully Miss Jenny; they went to the Maester's Tower to save her."
"Help?" The five centurions could hardly help but exclaim in unison.
They couldn't believe what they were hearing!
"Then let's go to the Scholar's Tower together," said Earl Gavin.
"Okay, let's go together!"
It turned out that the five centurions of the cavalry battalion were shocked to hear that Gregor had come to see Jenny under the influence of alcohol. That beast couldn't restrain himself in such a short time, but this was in Lord Tywin's castle, where the guests were still drinking and feasting, and he was already bullying Miss Jenny. This was outrageous.
This is a disgrace to the reputation of Lord Tywin Lannister!
They hurriedly informed Lord Tywin, who ordered them to immediately come and capture the Mountain.
In Tywin Lannister's mansion, not to mention the Mountain, anyone who dares to misbehave, even his own son Jaime Lannister, will be severely punished.
The long poles carried by the centurions had a special name: the Mountain Pole.
This iron pole, forked at the front and equipped with a fishing net, was a special weapon that Lord Tywin Lannister ordered Grand Maester Potter to develop specifically to control the Mountain. It was named after the Mountain.

The Mountain often suffered from headaches, so he drank poppy milk. When he drank too much, he would sometimes hallucinate and act recklessly. Besides poppy milk, the Mountain's excessive drinking also made him increasingly uncontrollable, showing clear signs of violent tendencies. On one occasion, he nearly killed a distinguished guest from the Riverlands in Tywin Lannister's dining room.
To prevent him from harming people while drunk, and to prevent him from hallucinating and harming people after drinking too much poppy milk, Lord Tywin gave Grand Maester Potter a strict order: to design a special weapon that could control the Mountain without harming him. Thus, the forked pole with a fishing net was designed.
Even after repeated targeted training, this special weapon can only be used against the Mountain when he is unarmed, drunk, or delirious from drinking too much poppy milk.
When the Mountain is lucid, he can grab and break these five long poles as soon as they are extended.
The Demon Mountain Pole is, to date, a specialized weapon that has been proven in practice to be effective in controlling the Demon Mountain.
Lord Gavin and his party quickly arrived at the foot of the tower, only to hear a loud bang from the top floor of the tower, followed by something shattering into pieces, accompanied by Jenny's exclamation: "Sir Gregor, why...why did you kick down the apothecary door?"
"That old man Potter is so stingy. He locked the pharmacy door after having a drink at a wedding. And his dog apprentice isn't even here to keep watch. Damn it, I'm going to teach them a lesson once we're done."
"No, don't blame anyone. Today is our engagement day. Everyone is happy and has gone to the wedding banquet. You can't cause trouble for the scholar and his students."
"But our cat..."
"Sir, they wouldn't know we'd come to the pharmacy at this time."
"Hmph!" Gregor said viciously, "Fine, this time I'll listen to my fiancée and spare them this time, damn it! If any other bystanders dare to bother us now, kill them all."
"No, Sir Gregor," Jenny said softly. "Put me down and let me find the medicine quickly."
Then, the lights on the top floor of the Bachelor's Tower were turned on.
Earl Gavin and the others looked at each other and stopped in their tracks.
When the Mountain is angry, he is indeed obedient; everyone in the Westerlands knows that he only listens to Lord Tywin Lannister. But now, it seems there's someone else?!
