The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Osney Kettleblack was rushing towards the direction of Magta, his red cloak fluttering in the wind, like a burning flame, attracting attention.

Magta, Sir Osfry stood in the middle of the gate and said to his hurried brother: "What happened, Osney?"

Sir Onis could not hide the excitement in his voice: "Where is the Queen Mother?"

His younger brother's footsteps kept moving, and Sir Osfry frowned. He stepped aside and said, "Sir James is accompanying her in the small hall."

Sir Osney walked quickly through the hall of Meg Tower. When he approached the small hall, his eyes moved slightly and he raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty, something happened."

When he came to the corridor connecting the small hall, he anxiously repeated: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, something happened."

Jaime Lannister, wearing silver armor and white robes, appeared at the entrance of the small hall. He said coldly: "Sir, you have disturbed Queen Cersei's meal."

The corner of Sir Osney's mouth curled up imperceptibly. He stopped in front of Sir James and said, "I'm sorry, Captain of the Kingsguard. I must report to Her Majesty the Queen Mother as soon as possible."

Sir James glanced at Sir Osney, who looked panicked, and said, "Follow me."

After they came in, before Osney could speak, Cersei Lannister's voice sounded displeased: "If there is a next time, I will let you dance in a skirt."

Osney opened his mouth, and Queen Cersei put down her knife and said impatiently: "What happened?"

Swallowing his saliva, Sir Osney said quickly: "Earl Green encountered an ambush by the Valley people on Mud Street. After King Joffrey heard the news, in order to rescue Earl Green, he led some cavalry out of the Red Castle."

After listening, Queen Cersei glanced at Ser Onis with contempt, this is King's Landing, who can hurt his Joffrey? Just the homeless dogs in the valley?

Queen Cersei was about to praise Joffrey for his bravery, but she was paused when she suddenly remembered the riot in King's Landing (Chapter 172).

She stood up in a hurry and said: "James, hurry up, go and protect Joffrey!"

Sir James was not anxious at all: "That's the Bloody Earl. With him, no one can..."

Queen Cersei interrupted angrily: "This is an order, go and protect my son!"

"Go right now, go right now."

Sir Jaime shrugged, swung his snow-white cloak, turned around and took steps forward. Queen Cersei's urging voice soon came from behind him: "Hurry up!"

Ser Jaime reluctantly quickened his pace.

Queen Cersei picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine. At this moment... Sir Osney approached and comforted him warmly: "Your Majesty, King Joffrey is with you..."

Before he finished speaking, Queen Cersei slapped Sir Osney in the face.

"Why are you still here? Go and protect my son!"

"As you command!" Sir Osney ran away.

…………

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

The deer and lion flags were flying, King Joffrey was charging all the way, and the hounds and other Kingsguards were driving their horses vigilantly to protect him.

An Gai, who was leading the way, pointed in the direction of the gathering crowd and said loudly: "Your Majesty the King, it's in front!"

Hearing this, Joffrey kicked his spurs fiercely and shouted: "Get out of here!"

There was a sound of horse hooves, and the crowd panicked and scattered in all directions. Cries and screams were intertwined.

The horses shuttled among the chaotic crowd. After a while, Joffrey, who was riding the horse in front, suddenly tightened the reins, and the horse's temples neighed.

King Joffrey stopped his horse too suddenly. Ser Osmund who was following him pulled the reins, adjusted his horse, and narrowly avoided the impact.

The horses neighed loudly, and after a moment of confusion, the Kingsguard and the red-robed men, who had outstanding riding skills, quickly adjusted their horses.

The maroon horse took a few steps in the direction ahead. King Joffrey on it looked at the scene in front of him, his Adam's apple rolled, and he couldn't help swallowing.

The smell of blood filled the air, and human heads were scattered on the blood-red ground like ripe fruits.

Piles of corpses, with severed limbs everywhere, some still holding weapons tightly, were telling others that a tragic battle had occurred here not long ago.

The blood was still flowing, gathering into scarlet streams in the gaps between cobblestones.

The silence on the streets was eerie.

Tat-tat-tat-tat, the horse under him continued to pace on the sticky ground. Joffrey felt his stomach tighten for a moment, and a feeling of nausea suddenly rose in his throat.

Click, click, click. Sandor drove his horse to Joffrey's side and said, "Lord Tywin will laugh at you, king."

King Joffrey couldn't curse. His anger struggled to suppress the surge in his chest and abdomen. He could only kick the hound on his horse.

The hound remained motionless and looked around. He then said: "The battle is over. The remnants of the valley have not succeeded."

Tat-tat-tat-tat, Ser Mandon also drove his horse closer and said: "Ser Sandor, victory belongs to the king."

Sandor's eyes moved, he looked at Sir Mandon, and said coldly: "I am not a knight."

Ser Mandon just shrugged and said nothing.

King Joffrey seemed to chuckle because of the "conflict" between the two. After he suppressed the discomfort, this place gave him... some kind of inexplicable excitement.

"keep going."

They soon discovered the golden robes cleaning up the street, and then... saw the neatly dressed Green Kleb, with more than a dozen "bloody men" standing around him.

In the blood, the Grimm at this time was intimidating, and Joffrey couldn't help but tighten the reins in his hands.

With a snap, Green stepped on the sticky ground and faced Joffrey and his party.

He grinned: "Thank you, king, for your rescue. All honors go to you, my king."

When Green came closer and saw his gentle face, the invisible pressure Joffrey just felt in the distance seemed to be an illusion.

Sitting on his horse, King Joffrey raised his chin. He is the king. Only others in this world are afraid of him, but he...the king is not afraid of anything.

He announced proudly: "Earl Green, the king protects the loyal knights. This is the king's duty."

After saying that, he glanced around and frowned: "Are they all dead?"

"One left."

Green pointed to a place, and there... there was a man who could only breathe his last breath to anyone who looked at him.

"He is the leader of this attack. King Joffrey, I am told, was Captain of House Arryn's Guard."

Green stretched out a hand and made an elegant gesture of invitation, and then said: "All honors belong to you."

"very good."

With a bang, King Joffrey pulled out his "lion's tooth" sword.

His equestrian skills were superb. He kicked his spurs and galloped towards the "target". When he got close, he leaned over suddenly, and with a "puff" sound, the lion's tooth in his hand swiped across, and a splash of scarlet blood instantly spattered.

The war horse neighed and stopped.

King Joffrey looked at the lion's tooth sword stained blood red and nodded with satisfaction.

He raised his sword and shouted: "This is the fate of betrayers!"

There was a sudden silence around, and someone suddenly shouted: "Long live the king!"

"Long live the king!" someone shouted in agreement.

More and more people shouted: "Long live the King!"

…………

After the cheers for the king "died down", King Joffrey seemed to still have more to say: "Earl Green, are the attackers gone?"

Green took the reins from a man in gold robes, climbed onto his horse, and said, "King Joffrey, I think all the remnants of the Arryn family lurking in King's Landing have disappeared."

After speaking, he pointed to the heads "given" to King Joffrey.

King Joffrey took the cleaned lion's tooth from the hound, put the sword into its sheath, and said: "Earl Green, next time..."

After a pause, his tone changed and he said coldly: "If we let those traitors take a few more breaths... we would be too merciful to them, and we should kill them as soon as possible."

As he spoke, his handsome face twisted: "As long as I am the king, I will severely punish all the rebels in the kingdom."

The two of them rode side by side, and Green caressed King Joffrey's chest and said, "King Joffrey, you are a wise ruler."
