Chapter 130 - The Battle of Haigh Castle (IV)
"Glory and greed go hand in hand with death." Oberyn Martell thought, watching the vassals of House Frey in high spirits.

"Surround the tent and prevent anyone from entering." Aenar ordered a Sardaukar before entering the tent with his Royal Guard and the members of the Court.
Upon entering the Main Camp Tent, Aenar naturally sat down on the main seat. His gaze roamed around those present until it settled on Walder Frey's eldest son. Unlike his father, the man was actually a good person, which, in all honesty, was not something you would expect coming from the offspring of one of the most ambitious and petty men in the Seven Kingdoms.
"Your wine, Your Grace." Aenys Frey poured a glass of wine for Aenar, who accepted it with a kind smile.
"Thank you, Ser Aenys." Aenar thanked him as he looked at the man who bore his ancestor's name. He had to admit: the guy was ugly.
Curiously, even Aenys Frey's sons bore the traditional names of House Targaryen: Rhaegar and Aegon. But obviously, both were exactly like their father, lacking even one percent of the Targaryen's characteristic beauty.
"Your Grace, my father has asked me to inform you that the Twins' gates are open for your arrival. House Frey will kneel before House Targaryen once more and fight alongside the King." Stevron declared with a respectful tone, displaying a kind and warm gaze.
"Lord Frey has my thanks." Aenar smiled and expressed his gratitude aloud, raising his goblet in a toast, a gesture that everyone followed, toasting with smiles on their faces.
Oberyn and Tyrion exchanged glances, noticing the amusement in each other's eyes. Did they feel pity or mercy for these people? No. Even if they didn't know exactly what Walder and Tywin's plans were, they were both quite sure that these same men would obey Walder Frey's orders and kill them without any hesitation.
So there was no room for pity; on the contrary, the situation seemed ironic, almost comical. Especially for Oberyn, the real orchestrator of the plan. He couldn't wait to see their expressions when they found out the truth.
