The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

The Red Keep, Maegor's Tower.

Cersei shook the jewel-encrusted wine glass and lowered her eyes to watch the red liquid sloshing in the glass. Her long eyelashes hid the sharpness in her eyes.

When Cersei was a girl, she went to see the Witch and, under her threat, the Witch predicted the future for her.

She asked: "When will I marry the prince?"

The witch replied: "Never, you will marry the king."

She asked, "I'm going to be the queen, right?"

Witch Girl replied: "Yes, you will be the mother of the world in the future... until another woman comes. She is younger than you and more beautiful than you. She will overthrow you and take away everything you cherish."

She asked, "Will the King and I have children?"

The wizard replied: "Oh, of course. Sixteen of them belong to him, and the other three belong to you. They will use gold as their crowns and gold as their shrouds."

Wu Ji replied: "One day in the future, when you are drowned in tears, your brother will strangle your pale neck and take away your life."

…………

Cersei was overjoyed by the sudden death of Jon Arryn, and the news made her feel very happy.

When the maid reported that the Tyrell family wanted to see her, Cersei, who was already in a happy mood, happily agreed to the request.

Until Cersei saw Margaery Tyrell accompanying the old woman Olenna, her good mood suddenly disappeared.

Margaery is young and beautiful, as good as her younger self. This is Cersei's first impression of Margaery.

What made her recall Witch Girl's prophecy was not entirely Margaery's beauty, but Margaery's unique temperament.

This kind of temperament is only familiar to Cersei, who is the queen.

Cersei's eyes trembled slightly. She married Robert and had three children of her own... all the prophecies were coming true.

So, the other woman is Margaery of House Tyrell? Will she take away everything I hold dear?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Cersei has completely lost interest in joining forces with the Tyrell family.

King Robert is no different than a dead person in the eyes of Queen Cersei. When Joffrey inherits the Iron Throne, she will be the Queen Regent, just a golden rose... What's more, now that Jon is dead, the Tyrell family is gone. usefulness.

Robert is not dead yet, and she is not yet the queen regent, so Cersei has a hard time resisting her murderous intention.

While waiting for her to be regent... Cersei took a sip of summer red and raised the corners of her lips: "Ms. Oriana, it must be very tiring to come all the way. And... this Miss Rose?"

Margaery just smiled slightly and looked at her grandmother.

Olenna's eyes were sunken, but deep and bright: "Your Royal Highness, the Queen of the Lannister family, even though the old woman can't straighten up, she still gets excited when she sees the young man. It's just that the old woman is so good at hiding that you can't find it. That’s all.”

After saying that, Olenna patted Margaery's little hand, and continued: "I think the queen's face looks very bad. Is she troubled by the death of Prime Minister Jon? The Tyrell family came for the appointment, and the old woman is also very willing. Serve the Queen.”

Cersei's hand shaking the wine glass paused for a moment, and then replied casually: "The old Duke left suddenly. People in the Red Keep are panicked. I am trying my best to comfort people."

Olenna nodded and said: "My son, who never listens to his mother's nagging, has behaved this time. He should be working hard to appease people's hearts in the temple now."

Cersei was wary. She didn't want to bring the conversation to her son.

The Tyrell family brought Margaery of marriageable age to King's Landing. Do they still want to marry into the royal family?

Queen... Cersei tightened her grip on the wine glass: "The Duke of Highgarden is here for you."

Olenna's tone was sarcastic: "My son is only suitable for running errands. Queen, don't expect him to do much good."

Cersei smiled and said: "Lady Oriana is too modest. I heard that the Duke of Highgarden led an army to besiege Storm's End Castle. The defenders of Storm's End were so desperate that they could only slaughter horses, cats and dogs for food, and even almost I want to eat the fallen soldiers."

Cersei is not interested in war, but she only hears this occasionally from Grimm, who admires the Duke of Highgarden.

Olenna's eyes were piercing: "This is really a wonderful misunderstanding. The Duke of Highgarden must have been so happy that he couldn't sleep when he heard this."

Cersei looked at Olenna with some confusion.

Olenna shook her head and said: "I told him not to join in the fun, war belongs to the real warriors, and this is not what he should do.

But my son has a soft ear and is easily incited by his subordinates. He led the troops to fight despite my dissuasion... Oh, what kind of siege is that? He has never been close to the real battlefield. For more than half a year, he has consumed countless grain and grass in the Reach. , the Lord of Highgarden only besieged his table. "

Cersei curled her lips and said, "The process is not important. The truth is always written by the winner."

A flash of light flashed in Mrs. Olenna's eyes: "That is a matter for historians. The old woman can only nag her own child."

Olenna grabbed the armrest of the chair and stood up tremblingly: "The old woman will no longer delay the queen. The Duke of Highgarden will take care of the rest for you."

Cersei nodded perfunctorily.

Olenna stared at Cersei, and left with Margaery.

Cersei looked at the two people leaving and wanted to call the guards immediately to execute Margaery.

Cersei's beautiful eyes have become sharp, and her enemies can only end up in ashes.

A ridiculous prophecy. As long as she gets rid of all threats, will the prophecy still be a prophecy?

…………

Outside Maegor's Tower.

Margaery walked slowly holding the silent Olenna on her arm

Margaery glanced at the maids, and the maids slowed down and distanced themselves.

Margaery looked at Olenna and whispered: "Grandma, Queen Cersei seems to be very hostile to me."

Olenna's voice contained anger: "I never dreamed that Tywin's daughter could be so stupid, so stupid that it is difficult to communicate."

Margaery's face was heavy: "Grandma, I'm surprised too. Does Queen Cersei want to go back on her word?"

"Our Boar Duke is still dreaming sweetly!"

Olenna continued: "Although it is ridiculous, this is the idea of ​​the stupid woman in Magor Tower."

Margaery frowned slightly: "Is it because Prime Minister Jon is gone? So, she doesn't think she needs the support of the Golden Rose?"

Margaery herself felt a little incredible after saying it.

Olenna snorted coldly: "A stupid person doesn't realize her own stupidity. She only thinks that she is smart and can play with everyone."

Margaery said: "Grandma, this is an insult to the Tyrell family by Her Royal Highness the Queen."

Olenna patted Margaery's hand holding her arm: "Outsiders only see the beauty of the rose, but always ignore the thorns on the rose. The golden rose always holds the initiative."

"Grandma, what are we going to do?"

Olenna's eyes were deep: "The Duke of Highgarden is already in King's Landing. Doesn't she want to regret it? Then let the queen drive him away. Golden Rose is not the queen's servant. We will give in with just one look from her. She If it can be done, the old woman will go directly to Tywin in Casterly Rock, and then I will want to see how the Lannister will pay its debts."

Margaery nodded and said: "Grandma, I understand. I will not tell my father what happened today. My father's enthusiasm is just right. We will wait and see how Queen Cersei breaks the contract."

Olenna looked at her smart granddaughter with a touch of kindness.

The area near Maegor's Tower is lined with green trees and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

Olenna paused and stared at the sea of ​​flowers for a while: "Margaery, can you contact that little fox?"

Earl Green? Margaery replied: "Grandma, it's okay! Earl Greene sent me a letter before he left Westeros. If you want to contact him, you can send the letter to his Mermaid Port."

"Margery, write him a letter as soon as you get back and tell him... His favorite Duke of Metz has encountered a problem. If he can't find a solution, the old woman will beat his ass. Just write it like this!"

Margaery's beautiful eyes widened slightly. Although she was surprised by her grandmother's words, she still nodded in agreement.

Olenna took another step forward: "Margaery, favorites have their own uses. Do you know what favorites are best at? They are best at wiping the butts of stupid big shots! Little guys can become the favorites of stupid queens. , definitely understands Cersei’s character best.”

Without waiting for Margaery's answer, Olenna continued: "It's not us who are anxious. The more anxious we are, the more likely we are to make mistakes. In the Game of Thrones, we must first learn to be patient enough."

Olenna's deep-set eyes hid worry.

Cersei Lannister is well covered by Tywin’s cunning lion.

Anyone with some ability will pry into what's going on in the Red Keep. Most people's understanding of Cersei is more willful.

As a Lannister from the Light of the West, and as a queen, it would be normal for her to have an arrogant personality.

However, after meeting today, Olenna discovered that it was not just a simple matter of willful personality.

Now that the Golden Rose has come to King's Landing, it will not be satisfied with the king's hand. The ultimate goal of the Golden Rose is still to become a queen family.

Cersei doesn't know how to abide by the rules of power. As long as she continues to stay in the Red Keep, she will eventually be a major obstacle to the Golden Rose's plan to become queen.

Pantos.

Green raised his eyes and stared at the sky for a while, then murmured: Duke Jon is dead.

Green heard this news from the busy streets.

From King's Landing to Mermaid Port, and from Mermaid Port to Pentos, Green specially set up channels to deliver messages in order to control King's Landing's movements.

As a result, Green found that the news in the downtown area was much faster than through his own channels.

After Green arrived in Pentos, he was warmly received by cloth merchants and jewelry merchants.

Greene purchases only the best items for Cersei's boss.

Among the many flowing fabrics, the red ones...the thinner the better... After Green selected them, he could leave the rest to Steward Russell.

It's time to go back.

…………

Governor Illyrio's mansion.

Daenerys did not hide the disappointment on her face: "Earl Green, do you really want to leave?"

Since meeting Green, Green has given her the peace of mind she craves most, making Daenerys feel like she has returned to her childhood when Sir William was still around.

Green smiled and explained: "Princess Daenerys, I just got the news that Prime Minister Jon, who was trying to suppress the Crab Claw Peninsula, has passed away. I must go back as soon as possible to flatter the new Prime Minister, so that I can save myself money." Trouble on the Crab Claw Peninsula.

The guards I left behind will protect your safety, and I can feel at ease even though I am far away in Westeros. We still have a long way to go, and we will meet again in the future. "

Daenerys laughed, then shook her head.

"My brother, Viserys will lead his troops there sooner or later. At that time..."

Before she finished speaking, Daenerys's eyes gradually became filled with mist.

Green shrugged and said: "The war more than ten years ago nearly destroyed the Kleb family, and we can no longer afford another defeat.

Therefore, I will hide first, wait until the winner is decided, and then run out to please the Iron Throne. My territory is quite special, and we just want to live a more stable life. As for Prince Viserys..."

Green was silent for a while and then asked: "Princess Daenerys, who do you think we will expect to sit on the Iron Throne?"

"of course……"

Daenerys stopped talking, wondering why Green asked that?

According to his brother, the Iron Throne originally belonged to Targaryen, but was temporarily snatched away by the Reaver.

"Many, many people will die."

Green looked at Daenerys who was hesitant to speak and smiled, then said: "According to legal principles, the Iron Throne belongs to the Targaryen family of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

A big reason why Baratheon can sit firmly on the Iron Throne is because his grandmother is a Targaryen, and him sitting there is considered to be in line with the legal principles of inheritance.

Over the past decade or so, the Seven Kingdoms have become more stable, but most of the people at the bottom have only just gotten rid of the impact of the war, including most of the small nobles. "

Daenerys thought for a while and asked: "Earl Green, do you mean that my brother's army will be unpopular?"

Green spread his hands and said: "Looking at what His Royal Highness has done, most people are more concerned about whether their own interests will be affected, or whether it can bring them more benefits."

Daenerys quietly wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "What about you? Under what circumstances are you willing to join the war?"

Green thought seriously for a while and said: "Whoever gives me the valley, I will give it to him... as a horse to ride on."

After saying that, Green couldn't help but smile.

Daenerys was stunned for a moment and laughed.

Laughing, Green and Daenerys' eyes met.

Green said gently: "If Her Royal Highness the Princess gives the order, I will consider sending troops."

Daenerys turned her little face to one side and whispered: "Thank you, my knight."

Green still gave her the answer before leaving, without even making any demands, and left her with manpower.

Daenerys understands very well that her brother's main concern is the soldiers and horses. She can now say that she has completed Viserys's mission and does not have to worry about awakening the wrath of the sleeping dragon.

Could he... Daenerys' little face turned around, her purple eyes moved to Green, and her lips moved.

Green didn't seem to notice anything strange about Daenerys: "Your Highness, it's an honor to receive your recognition."

Viserys... Daenerys lowered her head slightly, took a deep breath slowly, and calmed down.

When Daenerys looked up, the hesitation on her face had dissipated.

Daenerys's smile was bright: "Earl Green, I believe we won't be apart for long, and you and I will meet again soon."
