The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

"The Seven-Star Bible says... the people salute their lords, the lords salute the king, and the king and queen must salute the seven-faced god."

"The Seven Star Bible says...men and women make marriage vows in front of Heavenly Father and the Holy Mother, promising to be faithful to each other until they are taken away by strangers."

"The "Seven Star Bible" says... All sins will eventually be forgiven, but punishment must first be accepted..."

Cersei interrupted angrily: "Enough, are you going to betray me? Don't forget, it was me who abolished the law of Maegor I and allowed the church to have the power to hold the sword."

"In exchange, we waived the one million and six hundred and seventy-seven golden dragons owed by the royal family to the church."

Cersei: "..."

The High Sparrow shook his head slightly and continued: "Besides, I don't need to betray you. I am a servant of the Seven Gods."

Then, without waiting for Cersei's response, the High Sparrow asked Osney in a firm and clear tone: "Please tell me again, what happened after you climbed into Her Majesty's bed?"

The kind gaze of the High Sparrow made Osney tremble: "The Queen Mother in front of you sent me to kill the former Archbishop... He had no guards... So I entered the room while he was sleeping... using a pillow It suffocated him to death..."

"Shut up!"

"Then what?"

Amid the roar of the lioness and the warm questioning of the high sparrow, Osney trembled his lips and said: "She rewarded me with a whole night of her."

Her plan failed...

Because of Osney's betrayal, her careful preparation for Little Rose is now coming back to bite her.

Cersei remembered the scene where Margaery was locked up in the dark room like a beggar...

She decisively judged...she must leave here immediately!

Snap!

The High Sparrow wanted to stop the lioness who was about to leave, so she slapped the old man in the face.

Cersei rushed out the door, and then slammed the door with a bang...

Osfry was outside the sept, and she needed to join him immediately before ordering the Golden Robes to protect her as she returned to the Red Keep.

When the time comes, she will treat the new Archbishop just like the previous Archbishop, plus the betrayer Osney.

besides………

Snap!

Four wrinkled old nuns blocked the way, and she slapped the nun at the front.

Then, she kicked another old nun to the ground, pushed another approaching old nun away, and then rushed over.

Finally, an old nun tried to catch her, but was scratched on the face by the lioness' claws.

The lioness successfully turned into the corridor leading to the church hall, and while running...but she almost tripped several times because of the hem of her skirt.

Stab--she panted and tore open the long skirt with golden lace under her hips.

When Cersei, who was trotting with her skirt in hand, finally reached the brightly lit sept hall, she couldn't help but stop in horror.

She saw a dark mass of women, including nuns and silent sisters.

They are waiting for her, this is the trap prepared by the High Sparrow for her!

They gathered around quietly, and the lioness couldn't help but retreat, and shouted in a stern voice: "I am the Queen Regent, get out of my way! Get away, I will kill you all!"

When they heard the lioness' threat, not only did they not retreat, but they all extended their hands to her.

She is the lioness of Casterly Rock, and she will never give up!

Pushing and running, Cersei passed by the altar of the Maiden and then was captured by the altar of the Virgin.

The lioness, still kicking and kicking, was dragged up the tower steps and finally thrown into the cell.

"How dare you offend me like this!"

"I am the Queen Regent!"

"I am a Lannister, and Jaime will split you in half!"

"Duke Green will chop off all your heads!"

"I am the king's mother!"

"The golden robe will come in soon, let me go!"

In the dark cell, several silent sisters held the screaming lioness tightly while a short, dark-skinned nun roughly took off her clothes, even her underwear.

Another nun threw a rough gray robe over Cersei.

"You can start repenting."

After leaving a word, they left the cell and closed the cell door with a bang.

Cersei climbed to her feet.

She is not the docile Margaery. She will never put on humble robes and be a captive honestly.

A caged lion is still a lion!

Cersei tore her robes to shreds, smashed her pitcher against the wall, and smashed her chamber pot.

Her guards were down below, waiting in the square.

If they heard her voice, they would come to her rescue!

When the time comes, she will use chains to drag the damn High Sparrow back to the Red Keep for exhibition!

Cersei pounded and kicked the door with her fists, she screamed and howled at the doors and windows.

However, until his throat became hoarse and he no longer had any strength, no one responded.

It was getting darker and darker outside the window, the temperature was gradually dropping, and Cersei, who was naked, could not help but tremble.

She is the Queen Regent, how dare the High Sparrow treat her like this? !

She began to regret tearing up her robe. The only covering in the cell was a thin brown wool blanket placed in the corner of the wooden bed.

Shabby, ugly, and painful, Cersei wrapped herself tightly in the smelly thin blanket and fell into an exhausted sleep soon after.

…………

"Cersei, you will never know anything about power!"

My father's body was still in the sanctuary hall, and he climbed out of the ornate coffin.

…………

Cersei, who was having a fierce argument with the old lion, was roughly shaken awake by a rough hand. She slowly opened her eyelids, and then closed them because of the dazzling candlelight.

She murmured hoarsely: "Are you here to let me go?"

A large-boned old woman knelt in front of Cersei, holding a candle in her hand: "I am Sister Unia, and I am here to hear your confession of murder and adultery."

The face of the old nun became clearer and clearer in Cersei's sight. She moved her lips and made a hoarse voice: "I am the Queen Regent, you have no right to imprison me..."

Sister Unea repeated dryly: "I have come to hear your confession of murder and adultery."

"I am the Queen Regent."

"I'm here to hear your confession..."

Cersei waved Sister Unnia's hand away and screamed, "Don't touch me! Get out!"

Sister Uniya stood up and said, "I'll be back in an hour. Maybe you will repent by then."

Hour after hour after hour, every time Cersei closed her eyes, Unnia would appear again, shaking her awake and asking her to confess her sins.

The room was as cold as an ice cave, and Cersei Lannister spent the longest night of her life except her wedding night.

When the sun rose, Cersei was in unbearable pain, but the urinal had been broken by her yesterday... The lioness had to gnash her teeth and squat in the corner to urinate.

Seeing the urine flowing across the floor, the lioness swore fiercely in her heart that she would make these nuns perform peeing in front of the untouchables and beggars every day.

Breakfast was a bowl of dusty gruel. Cersei picked up the bowl and threw it at the head of the nun who was serving the meal.

Then, hour after hour after hour, she was asked if she would confess to the crime.

The sky outside the narrow window gradually darkened, and Cersei began to fear. Why hasn't anyone come to rescue her yet?

Where is Sir Osfary?

Where's Oraine Waters?

What about the Kingsguard and the Council?

They are traitors and cowards. When she gets out, she will behead them all!

The next day, Cersei throws the bowl at the nun again.

"Green will not forgive you for humiliating me like this. When he comes back, he will kill all the monks and nuns here, including the High Sparrow. Don't forget, he was once called the Bloody Earl. Let me go."

"We can fall into the arms of the gods at any time. I am here to hear your confession..."

Outside the window, the frail and hungry lioness vaguely heard someone shouting in the square below.

But it was Margaery they were calling, not her, the Queen Regent.

The third day.

In the early morning, as Cersei was licking the last bits of cereal from the bottom of her bowl, the cell door suddenly opened and her chief intelligence officer walked in.

Seeing Qyburn, Cersei was so excited that she tried her best to hold back and not jump on him.

"Oh, gods, you don't know how happy I am to see your face. Take me back quickly."

"I'm afraid I can't take you away."

Coburn shook his head slightly and sighed: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, you will attend the church's trial on charges of murder, treason and adultery."

Cersei sneered. She glanced in the direction of the cell door, then leaned forward and lowered her voice: "Go and convey my order immediately, let Osfry command the golden robe..."

Qyburn's sigh interrupted Cersei's secret order: "Your Majesty, Grand Maester Pycelle has teamed up with Prime Minister Harris Swyver (Kevan's father-in-law) to control the Royal Council, and Osfry Kettleblack has been captured. Du Jinpaozi has been relieved of his duties as Commander-in-Chief of the Giant Dragon Gate - Humphrey Weishui is now the new Commander-in-Chief, and he only obeys their orders, and I was deprived of my seat as Imperial Minister by the Imperial Council."

After being stunned for a while, Cersei slammed the bowl she had licked clean onto the floor and said, "How dare they seize power? This is rebellion!"

Qyburn held Cersei's hand and comforted: "You can prove your innocence through trial by combat. Don't forget, Duke Green and Ser Jaime are both powerful knights."

Cersei was startled again, then nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, Green, you send out the messenger crow, and you ask him to bring troops back to rescue me immediately. I am the Queen Regent, and I will never allow those villains to attack me in public. I judge!”

The smile on Qyburn's face disappeared: "It is difficult to hide the actions of the army from Pycelle and the High Sparrow. They will definitely end your trial before Duke Green's troops arrive, which may be even more detrimental to you. "

"Asshole!"

After cursing angrily for a while, Cersei suddenly said: "By the way, where is my son? Is Tommen still the king?"

Qyburn nodded: "Yes, Queen Mother, King Tommen is safe in Maegor's Tower, under the protection of the Kingsguard. Please rest assured, they dare to conceal your condition, but they dare not harm him. "

Cersei breathed a sigh of relief, and then she asked: "Where is Margaery? I heard her name being shouted outside yesterday."

Qyburn hesitated and said: "Count Matus assured the High Sparrow on his honor that Miss Margaery would not miss the church's trial. He placed her in his mansion and was accompanied by a nun sent by the church. "

"Damn it!"

Cersei staggered back and forth in the small room, the lioness' rage finding nowhere to vent.

"Qyburn, I have to get out of here right away!"

Qyburn shook his head: "If you want to leave by force, unless you have the support of the army. However, the three thousand Lannister soldiers stationed outside the city have been taken into the hands of Prime Minister Harris (Kevan's father-in-law). Moreover, King's Landing The seven city gates are closed and entry and exit are prohibited. Neither Pycelle nor the High Sparrow have any objections to this order."

The lioness's cheeks twitched. This was the order she gave when she went to the Great Sept of Baelor. She was doing it to prevent outsiders from entering King's Landing and rescuing Margaery...

Cersei stood there and roared: "Damn traitors! I will never forgive them!"

She suddenly paused: "Yes, why did I forget about him? You go find Oren Weishui and tell him to bring the sailors ashore and gather enough people..."

Qyburn interrupted Cersei's words with a sigh again: "The news that you were in trouble reached the Blackwater River, and Orion Vaishui raised the sails and rowed, and took the royal fleet to sea."

"Ha...did he even betray me?"

Cersei was so angry that she almost laughed out loud: "The old lion once taught me that illegitimate children are inherently capricious and treacherous. It's a pity that I didn't remember his words."

After a moment of silence, Coburn said softly: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, you have Duke Green and Sir James. As long as they come back, you can at least guarantee safety."

Cobain's comfort worked. The lioness' fullness slowly rose and fell several times, and she gradually suppressed the anger in her heart.

"Yes, I have James and Green. Two sharp swords are enough to wipe out all traitors."

Cersei slowly sat on the old bed board, straightened her back and looked at Qyburn, and said, "Write two letters for me. It's best to send them by crow. If that doesn't work, just arrange a quick horse."

Qyburn's kind face turned slightly serious. He bowed and said, "The intelligence chief is at your disposal."

Cersei tapped her chin: "Write the first letter to Green. You tell him all about my plight. When you write it... you want to make me several times more miserable than what you see. Do you understand what I mean? ?”

Cobain nodded slightly: "Yes."

Cersei continued: "Then... tell him I need a new Hand. And then..."

She licked her lips: "Tell him that he will be the only man on my bed from now on... and that's it."

Cobain paused and said: "As you command, Your Majesty."

Cersei continued: "The recipient of the second letter is Jaime. In addition to telling him my miserable predicament, you should write according to my exact words..."

Her body trembled: "My love, come back immediately, help me, save me. Your lioness needs you more than ever. I love you, I love you, I love you, I'm waiting for you ”

Later, Cersei emphasized: "Remember, you have to write 'I love you' three times."

Cobain remained silent for a longer time this time before slowly speaking: "Yes, I will follow your instructions."

At night, the lord's study in Riverrun.

Brynden Tully held the oiled leather in his hand and was cleaning the blade of his sword.

That's tomorrow.

The movement in the Lannister camp told him that tomorrow was the day of the decisive battle between the trout and the lion.

His sword will accompany him until the end, until he dies with honor.

The door was not closed, and the guard captain who went on inspection hurriedly entered the study.

"Sir, those 'smugglers' are here again, and their boat docked at the gate of the Red Fork River..."
