Chapter 143 Joffrey's Revenge

Westeros, King's Landing, Red Castle.

King's Landing was very lively at this time, of course, this kind of liveliness was limited to the nobles.

The Red Castle was full of guests walking around. Today was Joffrey Baratheon's wedding, and High Court had specially taken out hundreds of thousands of gold dragons for this.

The gift-giving session soon arrived, and Duke Mace Tyrell of Tyrell presented a golden cup inlaid with gems.

"I hope you and my daughter Margaery will drink the wine in the cup together, and be happy and live long."

"The golden cup is beautiful, Duke, maybe I should call you father."

Mace bowed and saluted, "It's my honor, Your Majesty."

And Tyrion's gift was a book. Surprisingly, Joffrey did not humiliate Tyrion, but said thank you uncle.

However, Tyrion keenly noticed that something was wrong, because he knew very well how much Joffrey hated him.

Sure enough, after Duke Tywin Lannister presented a Valyrian steel sword, Joffrey excitedly picked up the Valyrian steel sword and chopped the book Tyrion gave into pieces.

This sword was melted from Eddard Stark's heavy sword and split into two. One was given to Joffrey, and the other was given to Jaime Lannister by Tywin, who then gave it to the beautiful Brienne.

The Valyrian steel sword is indeed the sharpest steel sword. Thick books are like tofu in front of the Valyrian steel sword.

"Such a magic weapon should have a name."

The other nobles immediately shouted the names they thought of, and one of them aroused Joffrey's interest.

"Widow's Wail, a good name. Every time you swing this sword, it's like chopping off Eddard Stark's head again."

Hearing this, Sansa hated Joffrey in her heart, but she could only turn her head away.

The other nobles also despised Joffrey's cruelty in their hearts, and couldn't help but think of the Dragon family that was rising in the north.

Tywin also frowned slightly. He wanted to take advantage of this wedding to win over other nobles, but Joffrey's behavior would definitely make the nobles feel resentful.

Stark is the guardian of the North, and has ruled the North for thousands of years. He is a well-known family, but now he is humiliated by Joffrey.

But at this time, Joffrey is the king of the Seven Kingdoms and the master of the Iron Throne, so they can only pretend not to hear it.

As the wedding progressed, countless exquisite dishes were served.

Tywin and Cersei met Prince Oberyn together. At this time, Oberyn had already learned about his brother and the Dragon family's plan, so he was even more sarcastic when talking to Tywin.

Soon the highlight came, Joffrey stood up and arrogantly told everyone to shut up, saying that the royal wedding could not always be entertaining, but to examine history.

But Joffrey's way of examining history is obviously not something that a normal person can think of.

Joffrey found several dwarfs to play the War of the Five Kings and humiliate his uncle Tyrion with it.

Joffrey laughed.

The nobles present watched this absurd scene, but many nobles chose to agree with Joffrey.

Varys had a blank expression on his face, and even a dwarf accidentally hit his head with a cloth hammer when he passed by.

Varys was speechless after being hit, but he could only continue to watch this absurd dwarf performance.

Especially Sansa, she watched this scene expressionlessly, watching the dwarf perform to humiliate her father and brother.

When the dwarf's performance was over, most people chose to applaud, but a few people watched this scene expressionlessly.

Olenna was one of them. At this time, she was more determined in her plan. She would never let her granddaughter marry such a cruel and absurd king, even if she was not the queen!

While applauding, Tywin looked at the expressions and reactions of the crowd and remembered some people's names in his heart.

But what no one expected was that Joffrey suddenly stood up, holding a bag of gold dragons in his hand, and said to the dwarf who played Joffrey:

"Good performance, this is the champion's reward, but you are not the champion yet, the real champion must defeat all challengers.

But there must be someone who dares to challenge my authority, uncle, why don't you come, there must be extra costumes."

Joffrey wanted to humiliate Tyrion and establish his own authority, but Tyrion's most powerful thing was his mouth.

Tyrion stood up with a smile, "The previous war was enough for me, Your Majesty."

Everyone knew that Tyrion was referring to the Battle of the Blackwater River. Tyrion made a great contribution in that war, but after the war he only got a meaningless position as the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Tyrion continued, "I still want to save the rest of my face. You should go on stage yourself. Their performance is just a poor imitation of your heroic performance on the battlefield."

Tyrion was hinting at Joffrey's desertion at the time. Almost everyone knew about this matter. It was not a secret. Many people saw it at the time.

"I saw it with my own eyes. Maybe you can take the newly forged Valyrian steel sword and walk down your high table to show everyone how a real king wins the throne!"

"But you have to be careful. The guy who plays you is obviously too hungry. If the king loses his virginity before the wedding night, it will be terrible."

Tyrion's words made everyone laugh, but then he immediately stopped laughing. Obviously, it was not a wise thing to laugh at a cruel and petty king.

Joffrey's chest was heaving wildly at this moment, and he was obviously extremely angry.

He picked up a glass of red wine and came behind Tyrion, and Tyrion took a sip of the red wine in front of him slowly.

Joffrey poured all the wine in his hand on Tyrion's head.

Tyrion forced a smile and said calmly: "It's a pity to spill the fine wine of Poseidon from the other side of the continent."

"It's not spilled, it's..."

Before Joffrey finished speaking, Margaery said in a delicate voice: "Dear, come back to me quickly, it's my father's turn to toast."

Seeing this, Joffrey gave up the idea of ​​humiliating Tyrion and turned back to Margaery.

"Toasting without a wine waiter is not possible, uncle, you come to be my wine waiter, since you dare not go on the field to fight."

Tyrion knew that Joffrey would not let him go so easily.

"Such an honor, I really don't deserve it." Tyrion was ready to refuse politely.

But Joffrey obviously didn't intend to let him go, "This is not an honor."

Tyrion stared at Joffrey, but he knew that he was no longer the acting prime minister and had no power at all.

So he took a deep breath, left his seat and slowly walked to Joffrey, ready to take the cup and pour wine for Joffrey.
