The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Cersei Lannister leaned on the back of her chair, put her hands on the armrests, and said in a cold tone: "Varys, what answer do you want from me?"

Cersei's rhetorical question made Varys slightly stunned.

Looking away at Jon Arryn, Varys said nothing.

Queen Cersei snorted and raised her smooth chin.

Renly Baratheon glanced at the deflated Varys in a funny way and said, "Your Highness Cersei, it seems you have a better idea? We are willing to humbly ask for your advice."

Cersei glanced at Renly, rolled her eyes secretly, and said coldly: "Let the Duke of Metz serve as the Prime Minister's advisor temporarily, and he can share some of the Prime Minister's responsibilities in advance, and you can discuss and decide on the rest. "

By this time, Renly also noticed something was wrong. Cersei today was very different from what he remembered.

Renly's eyes moved and he looked at Prime Minister Jon.

Seeing that Renly finally noticed the problem, Prime Minister Jon was relieved and nodded his chin unconsciously.

The Lannister family has united with the Tyrell family and they are planning to seize power!

Renly suppressed some of his smile and said to Cersei: "Queen Cersei, this is not a good idea. Duke Jon is still the Prime Minister of the Kingdom."

Cersei looked at Renly with contempt in her eyes: "Duke Renly, if the prime minister can perform his duties normally, is it necessary for your queen to appear at the royal council?"

Renly opened his mouth, paused, and then answered: "Dr. Jon's health is gradually improving."

Cersei responded coldly: "You have admitted it yourself, Duke Eileen's health is in danger!"

Renly spread his hands and forced a smile.

No wonder Brother Robert doesn't want to see Cersei. I wouldn't like her arrogance.

Today's Cersei is not only messy, but also well-founded, making it difficult for them to argue.

Renly also felt like Prime Minister Jon that Tywin Lannister was behind what happened today, and that all this was planned secretly by the old lion.

Seeing that Prime Minister Jon's health was in question, the lion was ready to pounce.

Renly secretly warned himself that Lannister had never given up his ambition to control the Red Keep, and he must not take it lightly.

…………

Seeing Renly's silence, Petyr Baelish raised the corners of his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "My noble queen..."

Cersei directly interrupted Petyr who had just spoken: "That's enough! Each of you said one sentence after another. Are you planning to join forces to deal with your queen?"

Why doesn't Cersei want to see Petyr?

It's not because Petyr is not of noble birth. In Cersei's eyes, Petyr is now Prime Minister Jon's lackey, so she is too lazy to listen to his nonsense!

The corners of Petyr's mouth twitched, he shrugged helplessly, and closed his mouth with a bitter expression.

Everyone was helplessly about to stand up and apologize, but Prime Minister Jon put out his hand to stop their movements.

Prime Minister Jon stared at Queen Cersei, whose face was still full of anger, and said: "Queen Cersei, the royal council is meant to speak freely and express their opinions, and the royal ministers will not deliberately offend the queen of the kingdom."

Cersei's face improved slightly: "Humph, I dare not be the best!"

When Cersei finished speaking, Prime Minister Jon's eyes twitched.

Pycelle glanced at Prime Minister Jon, who had a slightly dark face, and said, "Her Royal Highness, please rest assured that Duke Jon will definitely pay attention to your suggestions."

Prime Minister Jon saw Queen Cersei staring at him and nodded stiffly.

"My lords, that's all for today. I hope you can move faster so as not to affect the king's pleasure."

After saying that, Cersei stood up from her seat, and everyone also stood up and nodded to Queen Cersei.

Queen Cersei raised her chin slightly, glanced at everyone with her beautiful eyes, nodded, and turned around to leave the throne room.

After Cersei left, everyone sat back in their chairs.

Petyr spread his hands and raised the corners of his lips: "My lords, I never dare to face the roar of a lioness again!"

Everyone laughed lowly, and the solemn atmosphere in the throne room suddenly relaxed due to Petyr's half-joking words.

Petyr sent a subtle signal for Prime Minister Jon.

Even without Petyr's hint, everyone knew that it was a tacit political understanding that future council meetings would reject Lannister intervention.

Cersei's sudden appearance only caught them off guard, leaving Prime Minister Jon and the others temporarily passive, but the key in the game of power is not the immediate victory or defeat.

You need to have enough patience in the game of thrones, and the royal ministers are not lacking in patience.

Game of Thrones has just begun.

…………

The Red Keep, Maegor's Tower.

Cersei put on a tulle slit robe and took a sip of summer red happily.

The great victory in the imperial meeting made her feel happy. She loved this feeling very much, and this feeling had surpassed the pleasure on the bed.

In the days before leaving King's Landing, Green told Cersei about various things that might be encountered at the royal council as if telling a story.

Green's tongue still tasted sweet, and Cersei listened to it with great interest those days.

Green's brilliance lies in the fact that he used language skills to make Cersei feel that she understood it on her own, rather than being taught by Green.

I, Cersei, the majestic Lannister lioness, never needed to be taught how to do things!

Judging from today's results, Cersei has won the meeting.

According to the rules of the Game of Thrones, today is not the end, Cersei just won a temporary victory.

But will Cersei worry about what's to come? The answer is no.

From Cersei's point of view, there are only winners and losers in the power struggle. Now that she has won, the ministers must obey.

If the loser dares to use tricks, he will declare war on her.

The roar of the lioness will make them realize how serious the price of daring to offend her is!

Cersei looked out the window and took another sip of summer red, raising the corners of her lips.

At that time, it was just a whim of hers, and she didn't expect to get a very useful affairs officer.

Cersei held up the cup and shook it slightly... Is Green's loyalty reliable?

The more Green embodies value, the more Cersei will doubt Green's loyalty to her.

Cersei has a strong need for control. Although Green's performance has always satisfied her, she always feels that it is just a little bit behind.

It's this little bit, only Cersei herself takes to the field...confirmed and added.

After drinking up the rest of the wine in the glass, Cersei couldn't hide the pride on her face. She sighed in her heart... The old lion's biggest regret is that there is no real heir. I could have been the most ideal heir, but it's a pity. I was born without a**.

After sighing, Cersei's eyes flickered.

She has played the dutiful daughter, the blushing and shy bride, and the obedient wife.

She endured not only Robert's drunken groping, but also Jaime's lava-like jealousy.

Cersei believes that the one who laughs last will laugh best, and she has always promised herself in her heart that she will use the entire Seven Kingdoms as compensation for herself.

Now, the day she was looking forward to was approaching, and the person she hated the most was about to turn into ashes.

…………

The narrow sea has rough waves.

Two pirate ships approached Green's ship from the left and right sides.

The orders received by the sailors on both sides were to engage in a boarding battle. After the distance was close, they desperately threw the thick ropes with iron hooks to the opposite side, and the ropes flew for a while.

Green stood steadily on the high ground, waiting for the boarding battle to begin.

Lake Snow yelled: "Get ready for battle!"

"Yes! Get ready to fight!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Everyone responded and faithfully carried out the captain's orders.

The wind and waves were still very strong, and they would be thrown out if they were not careful. No one tried to use the cable to jump over. They were all waiting silently for the ship to dock.

bump! ! !

The turbulent wind and waves increased the intensity of the collision between the ships, and the people on the ship swayed, leaned forward and backward in an instant.

Many people were thrown directly into the rolling waves and could not be saved.

bump! ! !

Not long after, the ship collided with another pirate ship.

Everyone clung tightly to the cables that could stabilize their bodies.

Reik roared: "Draw the sword!!"

Lake held a small buckler in one hand and a dagger in the other, pushing through the crowd and standing at the front.

The performance of the pirates was not much better, and many of them were still secretly cursing whether their captain was crazy.

They couldn't understand the pirate captain's anger at being provoked by his "prey".

Green was also a little surprised by the pirate's madness. Just now he thought the ship under his feet was about to fall apart.

Green reflected that the micro-management of the ship still had to be handed over to the captain.

At least today is not a suitable weather for a boarding battle.

…………

The pirates screamed strangely and raised their weapons to kill from both sides. The two sides suddenly fell into a bloody battle.

Although the narrow space on the ship made it difficult to take advantage of the numbers, the pirates' attacks from both sides put them at a disadvantage from the beginning.

Green unfurled his bow and arrow and began to lock the target.

call out!

Every time Green shoots an arrow, Martial Baker on the side can hear the heart-shaking sound of breaking through the air.

Whichever pirate makes the loudest noise is Green's target.

call out! call out! call out!

Green harvests lives one after another. Every arrow he shoots will accurately take away a pirate.

Green's strong physical fitness allowed him to empty his quiver of arrows in a short time.

Green stretched out his hand, and Martier, who was full of quivers, immediately handed over a new quiver.

…………

Relying on his years of experience in maritime combat, Lake steadily waved the dagger in his hand on the constantly shaking deck.

As soon as Lake killed the third pirate, he attracted the attention of the pirates, who all started to kill in his direction.

Lake tightened his grip on the small buckler, thinking to himself... This was a completely avoidable battle.

It was a fight he couldn't lose, since his lord was on board.

The craziness of these pirates exceeded Lake's expectation. What he regretted most now was that he did not persuade Earl Green.

He had always been steady, but he didn't know what happened today, and his blood suddenly boiled.

Now...it's useless even if I regret it!

The matter has come to this, we can only fight, for the sake of honor, and never admit defeat!

Lake was full of fighting spirit and was about to take the initiative to charge, but stopped.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before the pirates could get close to Lake, they fell to the deck one by one, and some were even nailed to the poles of the ship by bows and arrows.

Lake's pupils shrank, and he looked back in disbelief at the direction where the bow and arrow came from.

At this time, Green took another quiver from Martier.

He drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and with a hiss, the sound of breaking through the air sounded, and the Green Harvest started again.

Lake couldn't help shouting: "Long live the lord!"

"Long live the Mermaid!"

"For Kleb!"

"Long live Whispering Castle!"

The morale of the sailors was high, supported by Greene's "strafe".

…………

Pentos, Governor Illyrio's mansion.

Although Governor Illyrio is bloated and fat, his steps are unexpectedly light and graceful.

Following his footsteps, Illyrio's fat body swayed under his loose fiery red silk clothes.

Viserys Targaryen, who was leaning on the bench, glanced at Illyrio and said, "My future finance minister, Governor Illyrio, is there any good news?"

Viserys already knew that Illyrio was contacting the Kalls tribe on the Dothraki Sea.

But the speed at which things were progressing made him very dissatisfied. Viserys could not wait to lead his troops back to Westeros tomorrow to take back his Iron Throne.

Illyrio seemed not to notice the dissatisfaction on Viserys's face, and said in a respectful tone: "I have met Your Majesty, and I hope you will receive the blessing of the Lord of Light."

Viserys curled his lips and said: "Illyrio, what I need is not blessings, what I need is enough troops to take back the Iron Throne."

"My Majesty, I will receive good news soon. In return for the wedding, I will provide 10,000 cavalry."

"Oh?" Viserys sat up straight and asked hurriedly: "How long will it take?"

Illyrio said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Dothraki have their own customs. You need to be patient. It is worth it for the Iron Throne."

Viserys was already smiling: "Of course, I will be patient."

Illyrio nodded and praised: "You are a born king."

Not long after Viserys was excited, he warned uneasily: "Illyrio, but don't keep me waiting too long!"

The smile on Illyrio's face froze for a moment, and Viserys, who had his eyes above his head, naturally didn't notice it.

"Your Majesty, please believe in my loyalty. I am also very urgent. You only have one princess. I must have a good relationship with the Dothraki before I can rest assured."

Viserys suddenly said: "Dany is too thin. Are you sure they like such a small woman?"

"Princess Daenerys has the blood of ancient Valyria, and she has a distinguished background. She is both the daughter of the old king and the sister of the new king. Now she has a royal style under your careful decoration."

Illyrio showed his yellow teeth and continued: "You can definitely exchange her for ten thousand Dothraki croup warriors."

Viserys temporarily put aside his suspicion at Illyrio's words.

Illyrio said again: "Then why are you looking for me? I only care about my soldiers and horses now."

"I just received intelligence from King's Landing. The false king Robert has assigned another person to be responsible for hunting down Targaryen."

Viserys stood up abruptly, with panic in his eyes and a trembling voice: "Sooner or later, I will execute these Snatchers with my own hands!"

Illyrio lowered his head slightly: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely safe here, they are delusional."

Viserys seemed to feel that he had lost his temper. He stroked his hair and said gloomily: "Illyrio, I believe you. I don't want the pursuers to appear in front of me. I want you to throw them all into the sea."

Illyrio kept smiling and said: "My lord, if you know who the person in charge is, maybe the foolishness of the false king will make you feel happy."
