The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

"The Queen is here!"

A heavy wooden door in the throne room was pushed open.

Cersei Lannister appeared, wearing a queen's tiara and a strapless red dress.

Slowly walked into the hall.

Cersei is followed by her loyal bodyguard, Jaime Lannister.

All the court ministers were surprised, and they all stood up and saluted with their breasts in Cersei's direction.

Jon Arryn looked at the proud Queen Cersei with complicated eyes.

Cersei stood still and looked at Prime Minister Jon, who was still sitting upright. Their eyes happened to collide.

Prime Minister Jon sighed secretly. Before the matter was revealed, Cersei was still the queen representing the royal family.

Jon grabbed the armrest with trembling hands, stood up from the wooden chair that represented the hand of the king, and nodded to Cersei.

Queen Cersei raised her smooth chin, and a small arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Cersei looked around, at the empty first seat, and then at Prime Minister Jon next to that seat.

Cersei walked to the position facing the king's chair and said: "Good day, gentlemen, I will sit here. Ser Jaime, please help me bring a chair."

Jaime didn't care about the glances that others would cast from time to time, and placed the wooden chair behind Cersei with the corners of his lips curled up.

Barristan glanced at James, who was in silver armor and white robes, and closed his eyes, as if he couldn't see.

Barristan disagreed with Jaime Lannister's choice. Jaime, as a Kingsguard, broke his oath and killed the king he was supposed to protect. His white robes should be replaced with black.

Moreover, Barristan despises James, who has obviously "fallen".

After Queen Cersei took her seat, everyone sat back in their chairs.

Renly raised the corners of his lips and said, "Your Highness Cersei, why did you suddenly come here today? You are a rare visitor. The last time you appeared here... I can't even remember. It seems to have been several years ago."

Cersei didn't like Renly, who looked exactly like Robert, at all, and she was tired of the teasing tone in Renly's words.

Cersei snorted coldly, looked at Renly with beautiful eyes, and raised the corners of her lips: "Duke Renly, if your sincerity is sincere enough, I will attend every royal meeting, for your sake and for the sake of the Seven Kingdoms."

Renly laughed and said no more.

Excluding Queen Cersei, who represents Lannister, from the Royal Council is a tacit political understanding among everyone. Even if there is a slight hint, he does not want to be blamed.

After Renly's laughter, everyone present had different feelings, and the hall was very quiet for a while.

The atmosphere on the long table became more and more solemn. Petyr's eyes moved slightly and he looked at Prime Minister Jon, who had a heavy look on his face.

Feeling Petyr's gaze, Prime Minister Jon nodded his chin imperceptibly.

Petyr's eyes moved to the direction of Queen Cersei and broke the silence: "Your Majesty, your Royal Highness, please forgive me for being presumptuous, what are your orders? Petyr, I am at your disposal at any time..."

Before Petyr could finish his words, he felt the queen's contempt from Cersei.

Queen Cersei didn't want to pay any attention to Petyr's mouthpiece.

Petyr showed a somewhat helpless expression, shrugged, and stopped talking.

Will Petyr secretly resent Cersei for ignoring him? The answer is no!

Including Petyr, everyone in the Red Keep has long been accustomed to Cersei's domineering attitude.

Habits come naturally, and if Cersei treats her gently, Petyr will wonder if there is some conspiracy hidden in it.

After a while, Prime Minister Jon slowly said: "Queen Cersei, please speak frankly."

Although Queen Cersei showed a satisfied smile, she made no secret of her disgust for Jon: "Duke Eileen, I see that your health is indeed very problematic. I will arrange for the maid to go to the temple to take care of you. Candles and pray for your speedy recovery.”

Prime Minister Jon frowned.

The timing of Queen Cersei's appearance was so coincidental that he had to wonder if something went wrong in the secret investigation.

At the same time that this doubt appeared in his mind, it was immediately dispelled by Prime Minister Jon.

If it had been exposed, Cersei's character would not sit across from her and she would not have the time to ridicule him.

…………

Prime Minister Jon's eyes were sharp: "Queen Cersei, please tell me frankly that the Royal Council still needs to continue discussing the kingdom's political affairs."

After Prime Minister Jon finished speaking, and before Cersei could react, Maester Pycelle suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness, the King's Hand never lies. Before you arrived, we were discussing the blockade of King's Landing. We still have many issues to discuss."

Petyr's eyes trembled slightly, he felt that the cunning old fox finally showed its tail.

On the surface, Grand Maester Pycelle, who seems a bit "muddleheaded", took the initiative to speak for Prime Minister Jon. This is also in line with Pycelle's usual behavior of flattering the Prime Minister.

But it also depends on the occasion. Even if it is exactly the same thing, if it is placed in a different occasion, it may have a completely different effect.

For example, now that Queen Cersei is present, Pycelle's words are actually equivalent to destroying Prime Minister Jon's proposal to close the city.

Although the city closure plan proposed by Prime Minister Jon at the Royal Council has won the support of most of the Royal Ministers, it still has to go through the final process of the Royal Council.

That is voting. Only proposals that have gone through the Royal Council voting process are legal.

He was only one step away, but was interrupted by Queen Cersei.

Now, Pycelle "accidentally" revealed this matter in front of Queen Cersei. Unexpected changes have appeared in what was already a foregone conclusion.

When the big shots in the throne room were fighting, Green was in the narrow sea where huge waves were rolling.

Lake Snow said loudly: "Lord Green, we are being targeted by pirates, but don't worry, the wind is in our favor, and we can get rid of them before dark!"

Green glanced at the three black spots in the distance and raised his voice: "Rake, you are now the commander of Kleb's fleet!"

Green took a few steps, grabbed a cable, pointed in the direction of the pirate ship, and shouted: "Get closer!"

You have the final say!

Lake also aroused his fighting spirit, wiped the seawater from his face, and shouted: "First mate, prepare to turn, full left rudder! Hold on to the cable!"

The first mate on the ship immediately responded loudly: "Yes, captain! Full port rudder!"

The ship gradually tilted, and Lake observed the waves and ordered: "Correct the course!"

"Yes! Correct the course!"

The sailors on the ship shouted loudly and desperately tightened the cables connected to the sails to control the direction of the sails.

The bow of the ship broke through layers of waves, and the Kleb sailboat dragged out a large amount of white waves.

Green's ears were filled with the sound of rushing water. He took the special longbow from Martial Baker: "Martial, follow me!"

Martier, who was full of quivers, responded loudly: "Lord Green, please don't worry!"

The people on the pirate ship also discovered the "prey" that was actively approaching them by adjusting the ship's direction.

They have three boats, and there are only two boats on the opposite side. The advantage is mine!

The pirate captain held on to the railing and shouted arrogantly: "Who do they think they are? I am the king of this sea, pull the ship over!"

When the two sides could clearly see each other, the sea calmed down slightly.

"Reef the sails! Prepare for a boarding battle!"

"Reef the sails! Prepare for a boarding battle!"

At about the same time, the captains on both sides issued the same order!

…………

Mengton on the other boat put on an iron bucket helmet: "An Gai, the wind and waves are still strong, don't get too far forward, be careful of falling."

An Gai observed the surroundings sharply and nodded: "Mengton, I have almost adapted to the shaking on the ship. The main reason is that the ship is too narrow, so you need to pay attention."

Mengton pulled up his visor, smiled, and said in a naive voice: "Have you decided who to marry?"

Ange was indeed welcomed by the spearwives in Kleb's territory, especially after he couldn't help but defeat several spearwives who were too strong in his opinion.

An Gai, who appears to be very popular, actually has unspeakable difficulties.

Ange wanted to change the subject and suddenly said: "Mengton, how do I feel... you have been avoiding Lord Green recently? Don't you usually like to follow the lord the most?"

Mengton wanted to scratch his head, but his fingers touched the cold helmet, and he retracted his hand.

Mengton looked at An Gai with blank eyes and said, "An Gai, I didn't pay attention to this. You may have seen it wrong."

With that said, Mengton turned his attention to the approaching pirate ship in the distance, raised his buckler, and said, "I'm going to the front."

The ship was still shaking violently, but Menton's steps were very steady.

An Gai glanced at Mengton's fat back in confusion, and then withdrew his gaze.

There was still some time before the boarding battle, so An Gai carefully checked the bow and arrow again.

Red Keep, Throne Room.

Queen Cersei's lips curved in a mocking way, and her tone was cold: "Jon Arryn, not only are you suffering from health problems, but are you also an old fool?"

Cersei's words seemed to freeze the entire throne room.

Facing the various eyes focused on her, Cersei raised her chin proudly and snorted coldly.

Prime Minister Jon couldn't help but clenched his fist and said in a warning tone: "Queen Lannister, this is the royal council, not your inner chamber!"

After saying that, Prime Minister Jon's throat felt itchy and he couldn't help but cough.

Petyr hurriedly stood up and walked over, but was waved off by Prime Minister Jon.

Queen Cersei, who was originally very angry because of Jon's "inner chamber", saw Prime Minister Jon's unusual embarrassment with her own eyes, and her mood suddenly became happy.

After finally stopping his coughing, Prime Minister Jon leaned feebly on the back of his chair like a helpless and weak old man.

Will Cersei sympathize with the weak Hand Jon?

Cersei never sympathizes with the weak. She only takes pleasure in others' misfortunes and adds insult to injury. She is merciful by sitting back and doing nothing.

Queen Cersei looked at Prime Minister Jon and said leisurely: "Is Duke Erin interested in my bedroom? When did this start? Hand of the King, you rarely make me curious."

"you!"

The rise and fall of Duke Jon's chest increased: "Queen Cersei, don't tarnish my honor at will!"

Queen Cersei said coldly: "Only a coward would blockade King's Landing with great fanfare for his own safety. I will give you a dress next time you come."

Facing the suspicious looks around him, Prime Minister Jon felt like he was about to vomit blood with anger... How could the old lion Lord Tywin have such a daughter!

Naturally, Cersei didn't know that Prime Minister Jon was ostensibly investigating the secret passage, but his real purpose was to block the King's Landing in advance in order to control the situation after the royal bloodline issue was revealed.

Cersei thought that the old Jon was frightened by the discovery of the secret passage, so he wanted to go to war.

According to Cersei's guess, Prime Minister Jon's actions were the actions of a coward.

The words that made Prime Minister Jon the most angry were not Cersei's words about giving her a dress. Of course, this sentence did not make him angry.

Mainly because of some of Cersei's specious words, Prime Minister Jon felt that he had truly seen Cersei's debauchery. This was the queen he personally selected for King Robert.

Everyone knows that there are no secrets in the Red Keep. Doesn't she care about her reputation?

Of course Cersei doesn't care about fame!

It's just that Queen Cersei's chief affairs officer, Green Claypool, got off to a bad start... In Cersei's opinion, whoever dares to slander her will probably send Green to get his own head kicked. She still misses that time. Feel.

I, Cersei Lannister, have never known fear!

…………

In the confrontation between the prime minister and the queen, none of the ministers could get involved, except the king's brother Renly.

Renly really wanted to help Prime Minister Jon, but he could never find a suitable opportunity.

On the one hand, the Baratheon family is naturally close to Prime Minister Jon, and on the other hand, Renly once planned to remove Cersei Lannister from the position of queen and make Margaery Tyrell the new queen. While fighting against the Lannister forces, he can also get support from the Golden Rose family.

Unfortunately, the plan had just begun... James was spreading golden dragons everywhere like crazy, and was poking and investigating like crazy, which forced him to temporarily stop his actions, and then cautiously lead the clues to the Riverlands.

After all, the conspiracy is dark and everyone is using it, but no one will like it. If it is accidentally exposed, it will tarnish the honor of the Baratheon family.

Faced with Jaime's random punches, Renly had no choice but to give way for the sake of the overall situation.

Renly and his close advisors had been planning the plan for a long time, and then they saw some results, but it ended like child's play.

In the solemn atmosphere, Renly suddenly burst out laughing. His laughter was heroic, much like King Robert.

Renly calmed down the atmosphere in his own way: "Your Highness Cersei, you may not know Duke Jon very well. He has never understood what humor is, and Brother Robert always can't understand this!"

After Renly finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Cersei snorted and said nothing, not that Renly's words had any effect.

Renly's mention of King Robert was an implicit warning. He was reminding King Robert and Prime Minister Jon that the relationship between them was special and deep, and asked Queen Cersei not to push too hard.

The arrogant Cersei didn't notice the deeper meaning of Renly's words. She just looked at Renly's face that looked like young Robert and felt sick in her heart.

Cersei hates everything and everyone related to King Robert!

Sometimes misunderstandings can be beautiful... At this time, Renly suddenly felt that although Cersei was a little willful, she would still advance and retreat in a measured way at critical moments. If she was not born into the Lannister family, she could be regarded as a qualified queen.

Renly's smile was free and easy, and he continued: "Your Highness Cersei, you suddenly attended the royal meeting. I think there must be something important! Shall we discuss your matters first?"

After saying that, Renly looked at Prime Minister Jon.

Renly was still too young... Jon sighed secretly and didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Cersei looked at Renly who was smiling and couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly.

"Prime Minister Jon, I heard that because of your health, Petyr is now performing the duties of Prime Minister on your behalf (information I heard from Green). You plan to train Petyr to be the Hand of the King. Successor?"
