Chapter 58: Heartbreak (1)
Damien caught up to Tyrion after hearing there was more conflict in the meeting. At this rate, Damien thought it was fitting for Tyrion to do as he wanted by killing the men in the court and then dealing with the uproar later.
No one understood how tiring it was to put up with men of the court, who thought only of themselves, until they came into the palace.
"Should we move ahead with the plan?" Damien asked.
Tyrion was preparing to get rid of anyone who made the palace a dangerous place to be. He had enough armoured knights to challenge the palace guards.
"No," Tyrion replied, changing his mind as he walked. "I want to be selfish."
Tyrion had been thinking about everyone else for so long, but now, he was going to think about himself.
If Tyrion continued to act like he wanted to be king, then he would quickly lose himself, and another king would have to be named after he passed.
"There will be another ball in a few days. Make preparations to clear a path for me," said Tyrion.
Damien slowed down for a moment. He never thought Tyrion would go through with it, but still, he replied, "I will inform the men. We shall follow you no matter the title you hold."
Damien was here for Tyrion, not the king or any other man who held power in the palace. It was Tyrion who picked from among the men who were turned away from the palace to not become guards and gave them a position here.
"We might have my father’s guards as well as the duke attacking us, so train well to prepare for it if the plan happens," Tyrion said.
