Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord

After hearing Ned's suggestion, Cersei tried her best to remain calm on her face, but her heart was already in turmoil.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she was quickly thinking of countermeasures in her mind. She originally planned to wait until her father Tywin arrived in King's Landing before taking action, but now it was too late.

She realized she could no longer sit still and take action quickly.

Ned's kindness would not last long, and she could never leave her fate in the hands of others.

Cersei gritted her teeth secretly, her determination becoming stronger.

She decided to strike first and eliminate the danger completely before Ned could take action.

She raised her chin slightly and said firmly: "Lord Ned, I appreciate your kindness. But I will not leave King's Landing. I will protect my children and everything I have." , Cersei turned and walked away, leaving Ned standing alone in the courtyard.

Ned looked at Cersei's retreating back, feeling helpless and disappointed in his heart.

He originally thought that out of a mother's love for her children, Cersei would accept his proposal and take the children away to avoid a bloody disaster. However, Cersei is more stubborn than he imagined.

Ned's face became more serious, and he knew that he could no longer hesitate.

He took a deep breath and said loudly to Cersei's back: "Your Majesty, I will give you one last chance. Before tonight, you must take the children and leave King's Landing. Otherwise, I will tell Robert the truth."

His voice echoed in the courtyard, and if Cersei persists in her obsession, then he will have to fulfill his duty as a courtier and tell Robert the truth.

Ned stood there quietly, waiting for Cersei's response.

However, Cersei did not look back, but continued to move forward firmly.

Ned's heart sank, and he turned and walked towards the Prime Minister's Tower. He had to send his two daughters back to the north first.

Cersei did not go to the dining room as usual, but walked straight towards the depths of the Red Keep.

There was only one thought in her mind - Robert must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Lancel was cleaning Robert's armor when he found him.

Without any hesitation, Cersei took out the strangler and said directly: "The situation has changed. You must poison Robert before tonight."

Lancel's eyes widened, and his face was filled with surprise and fear.

Cersei found him last night and asked him to poison Robert. He did not agree at the time. Cersei also said that she would give him two days to think about it and even rewarded him.

"I...I...I haven't thought about it yet. This...this is too risky." His voice trembled slightly.

Cersei's eyes shot towards Lancel like a sharp sword. She stepped forward and grabbed Lancel's collar tightly. Her tone was full of threats: "You have no choice. If Robert doesn't die, all of us will People’s heads will hang on the city walls. Don’t think about hiding, I will say that Joffrey was born to you.”

Lancel's face was pale and his body was shaking involuntarily. He understood that he had fallen into a predicament from which he could not escape.

Under Cersei's pressure, he nodded slowly, his heart filled with fear and helplessness.

Cersei let go of Lancel's collar, a look of grim satisfaction in her eyes.

She said in a cold voice: "Remember, Robert must die tonight." After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Lancel alone, shrouded in fear and uneasiness.

As soon as Cersei left, she hurried forward to find Jaime. Her expression was panicked and fierce. As soon as she saw James, she couldn't wait to say: "We can't wait any longer, we must take action immediately!"

James couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and asked: "What happened to Cersei? Why did you take action in advance?"

Cersei bit her lip and said in a deep voice: "There is no time, Ned already knows everything, even Jon's death. He threatened me to leave King's Landing before tonight, otherwise he will tell Robert. Once Robert learns the truth, we're doomed, and I've asked Lancel to take action."

Jaime frowned and said with worry: "The action is too sudden now. We are not even prepared. Stannis is also in the Red Castle with his guards, and we do not have the support of my father's army..."

Cersei interrupted him abruptly and shouted at the top of her lungs: "There is no retreat, Jaime, do you understand or not? We must take action immediately! Why did the Seven Gods make you a man? What else can you do besides go to bed with me? What? If I could hold a sword, I would never come to you!"

Cersei roared at the top of her lungs, as if she wanted to vent all the anger and rage that had been stored deep in her heart for a long time.

However, what is surprising is that just after the stormy roar, her mood unexpectedly became calmer. Just like the turbulent and stormy sea, after a violent roar, it slowly receded, leaving only a quiet and peaceful beach.

Jaime was stunned by Cersei's roar, with a look of disbelief on his face, which was soon replaced by helplessness and pain.

His lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start.

Cersei's eyes no longer burned with anger, and her voice became calm and cold, and she said slowly: "This is all destiny, Jaime, we must take risks for the sake of our children."

James looked at Cersei distressedly, took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, and said slowly: "Cersei, I will not let you and the children get hurt. You go and keep an eye on Lancel and let him take action as soon as possible. I am now Go tell Littlefinger that we will act as soon as Robert dies."

After James said these words, he turned and left. His steps were quick, and his armor made a slight clanking sound as he moved.

Cersei looked at his retreating figure with deep eyes, then turned and left silently.

At the same time, Ned returned to the Prime Minister's Tower with a solemn expression, and the uneasiness in his heart enveloped him like a dark cloud.

When he saw Sansa and Arya, his eyes were full of worry and loss.

"Sansa, Arya, you must leave King's Landing immediately." Ned's voice was low and weak.

Sansa's eyes widened, her face full of shock and confusion, "Father, why? What happened?"

Arya also frowned and said stubbornly: "I won't leave, I haven't finished learning swordsmanship yet."

Ned sighed slightly and said gently to his two daughters: "I can't explain to you for the time being. King's Landing is in danger now, and you can't stay here."

"But father..." Sansa still wanted to argue.

Ned interrupted, his voice thick with exhaustion. He said solemnly: "No but, as your father, you must leave. We will set off later and return to the north."
