The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

The guests present suddenly became quiet, and all turned their attention towards the direction from which the sound came.

Not long after, Queen Cersei appeared. She was wearing an off-the-shoulder dress, the color of which was the bright red of the Lannister family; she was wearing a crown studded with gems, which was set against her long golden curly hair, sparkling; charming. Wearing an emerald necklace on her collarbone, its bright color seems to blend with her blue eyes, adding a sense of nobility and elegance.

The guests bowed their heads and saluted to show respect to the Queen Mother Regent. Cersei Lannister walked gracefully between them with a smile on her face, answering every now and then.

Everyone present was fascinated or attracted by the charm exuded by Queen Cersei, but the Green Lord's eyes passed over her and looked at the two men following her: they were tall and similar in appearance. They both had black hair and hawks. Hooked nose, one with a serious face, the other with an upturned lip.

The characteristics of these two people are obvious, and Green can easily guess their identities... They are Sir Osfley and Sir Osney among the three Kate Black brothers.

His heart moved, and he looked for Sir Jaime among the crowd, but still didn't see it... Was he delayed by something, or did he not plan to attend the banquet hosted by Cersei for them?

When the figure of Queen Cersei approached, Green took the initiative to step forward and caress his chest and said, "Queen Cersei."

Queen Cersei paused, looked over with a smile, and then said, "Please allow me to praise you. Your beauty is like the bright starry sky tonight, lighting up the entire Red Keep."

Queen Cersei's beautiful eyes lightly glanced at Green's velvet blue robe, she curled her lips and said, "Tonight's dress suits you very well, my loyal knight."

Green is a well-known member of the Queen Mother's party, and he is a lord with a powerful army. In addition...tonight's banquet can also be said to be a gathering of the Queen Mother's party. His interaction with her quickly attracted most people's attention. .

She added: "Tonight is a welcome banquet for you, enjoy tonight, Earl Green."

Green stroked his chest again: "You are so thoughtful. This is a great honor for me, Your Majesty Cersei."

Queen Cersei tapped her chin, then moved and continued her "inspection" among the guests.

Green looked politely at Queen Cersei, but his eyes suddenly moved, just in time to catch Sir Osney's gaze before he could take it back. Was there hostility in his eyes?

Although Sir Osney was caught by the Green nobles in his "little tricks", he just responded with a strange smile.

One of Green's eyebrows raised slightly. Could it be that deep love gave him incomparable courage?

Sir Osfry seemed to notice Osney's abnormality and frowned. He stopped, turned around, and saluted Greene, caressing his chest, as if he was apologizing on behalf of his younger brother.

Lord Green waved his hand as if he didn't care. He was not angry at all for this small offense.

As Queen Cersei and the Countess of Stokeworth exchanged greetings, Ser Osfry whispered sternly to his brother: "Osney, do you know what you were doing?"

Sir Osney shrugged slightly: "Osfry, my way of saying hello is just a little different from others."

Seeing his brother's reaction, Sir Osfry frowned and said, "If you want to live a good life, you should stay away from that gentleman in the future."

Sir Osney seemed to disagree with his brother's suggestion: "Osfoley, we are all favorites of Her Majesty the Queen Mother. This is a sign of loyalty on my part."

Ser Osfry wanted to speak, but Queen Cersei was already walking towards the other guests, so he had to follow immediately.

At this time, Green was surrounded by more than a dozen young nobles, who were his old colleagues—the stewards of Queen Cersei.

During the chat, someone suddenly said: "The three Kate Black brothers can be said to be the upstarts of the Red Castle. It's really amazing."

"Yes, the three brothers...Ser Osmund is the Kingsguard, Ser Osfry is the Captain of the Queen Mother's Guard, and Ser Osney is the Queen Mother's personal guard. It is indeed impressive."

"Oh, Sir Osmond claims to have served in the Knights (a mercenary group on the Stepstone Islands), and he is proud of it."

"Well, the Kate Black family has long been in decline. They have long forgotten the true honor of being a royal noble."

"Keep your voice down, they now have the trust of Her Majesty the Queen Mother."

The young and handsome stewards were communicating, but their eyes glanced at Green from time to time... Lord Green listened calmly, seemingly not very interested in the content of their conversation.

Someone suddenly sighed: "I think in a while, if we want to meet Her Majesty the Queen Mother, we must first get the permission of Brother Kate Black."

Others regretted: "I should have been more polite to them if I had known this."

"Haha, I remember you called Sir Osfry the mercenary knight."

"Humph, when Stannis's army surrounded King's Landing, Osfry and Osney had never been on the battlefield, but they were canonized as knights."

"I also heard that... the three Kate Black brothers were originally employed by Lord Tyrion, and now... I don't even know how to describe their actions."

Lord Green coughed lightly to attract the attention of all the stewards. They all looked at him with some kind of anticipation and expectation in their eyes.

After a pause, Green glanced at everyone and asked, "Are you... questioning Queen Cersei?"

After his words fell, the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a second, and then the affairs officers coughed one after another.

"no……"

"Absolutely impossible..."

"You misunderstood..."

Green smiled, then pointed to another place, where Queen Cersei had already completed a circle in the hall and finished meeting the guests.

Queen Cersei stood on the steps of the main seat. The waiter brought her a golden wine glass inlaid with gems. Green led his old colleagues to the front of the crowd, and then... he found that Sir Jaime was already there. Side before the crowd.

Sir James, clean-shaven, stood with one hand behind his back, chest puffed out, and a smile on his face.

Seeing Green looking at him, he nodded slightly.

Green nodded back, and at the same time his mood suddenly became much more relaxed.

"Everyone..."

Queen Cersei held the wine glass in her hand and raised her voice: "The high walls of Riverrun and the despicable running wolves... they cannot trap the lion of Casterly Rock... the captain of the Kingsguard... Jaime Lannister... …He defeated Running Wolf…”

She raised her glass in James' direction: "For Ser Jaime!"

"For Ser Jaime!"

"For Ser Jaime!"

"For Ser Jaime!"

Everyone present followed Queen Cersei and spoke out.

Green also raised his glass to Sir Jaime, who seemed to be "resurrected" on the spot. He had to admit that if Cersei had enough patience to perform, she could easily win some people's hearts, but... her character would not allow it. She is a woman who will not "wrong" herself.

She took a sip of summer red, and then... Queen Cersei looked at Green, paused, and said: "The Eyrie in the Vale... Prime Minister Jon's widow... the slut Lysa Arryn... tried to betray Joffrey. The king...Lord Glynn Crabb of Crabclaw...in the name of the king...he marched into the Vale...he conquered the Eyrie...captured Lord Arryn...his name as a general was known to all the Seven Kingdoms. ...For Earl Green!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Green took the lead and said loudly: "The highest honor goes to Queen Cersei!"

Green raised his glass in the direction of Queen Cersei: "To the Queen Regent!"

He glanced at everyone, raised his glass again, and raised his voice: "For Cersei Lannister!"

Suddenly, the hall was filled with voices shouting the name of Queen Cersei.

Green is her sharp sword. As the one who holds the sword, Queen Cersei raised her chin proudly and accepted the cheers from the crowd. She was full... and could not help but feel a slight ups and downs.

Some people in the crowd reacted differently.

Ser Jaime knew Cersei very well. Although he couldn't tell it on her face, he could tell that she was... very happy at this moment.

He had to sigh with Green's tongue again, and then he suddenly thought of something. James smiled bitterly and took a big sip of wine.

The younger brother's eyes drifted towards Earl Green from time to time. Sir Osfry frowned, and his big hand secretly patted the back of Osney's hand.

The several stewards who had been frightened by Green's question before... could not hide their excitement at this time. They glanced contemptuously at the expressionless Kate Black brothers standing behind Queen Cersei. Your chief affairs officer is back, where is the room for your hospitality? !

The dinner officially began, melodious melody was played on the upper floor, and Queen Cersei invited Sir Jaime to dance.

Green stood on the edge of the dance floor, watching him and her dance in tacit agreement, with their skirts flying and spinning.

How could Ser Jaime still look so half-dead at noon? Green didn't know if he had finally figured it out, or if he was just... big-hearted.

After politely declining several invitations to dance, Green left the dance floor and carried a glass of wine to a balcony in the Queen's Ballroom.

Behind him was a noisy banquet. Green leaned on the stone railing and looked up at the stars in the night sky. They were like gems set in the black sky, shining brightly.

The breeze caressed his face, bringing a cool feeling. Lord Green's ears suddenly twitched, and he turned his head to look.

The person who came was thin, with sunken eyes, and gray and dry hair. Green blinked and said, "Lancel?"

Lancel Lannister smiled and said, "Lord Green, long time no see."

After getting closer, Green looked Lancel up and down. They were the same age, but the person in front of him looked to be over forty.

"I heard that you were seriously injured in the Battle of King's Landing. You should take a good rest, Lancel."

Lancel shook his head slightly and replied: "Earl Green, my injury has long been healed. This is the punishment given by the gods in the sky for the crime I committed."
