iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 113

Red Keep, Maegor's Tower.

Cersei shook the gem-studded wine glass, looking down at the red liquid sloshing in the glass, her long eyelashes concealing the sharpness of her eyes.

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

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

Wu Ji replied: "Never, you will marry the king."

"I'm going to be queen, right?" she asked.

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

"Will the king and I have children?" she asked.

Wu Ji replied: "Oh, of course. Sixteen belong to him, and the other three belong to you. They will wear gold as their crown and gold as their shroud."

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

…………

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

Cersei, who was already in a happy mood, happily agreed to the request when she heard the maid report to the Tyrell family to see her.

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

Margaery is young and beautiful, not inferior to herself when she was young. This is Cersei's first impression of Margaery.

The reason why she recalled Wu Ji's prophecy was not all because of Margaery's unparalleled beauty, but because of Margaery's unique temperament.

Only Cersei, who is the queen, is most familiar with this kind of temperament.

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

So, the other woman is Margaery of House Tyrell?She will take everything I hold dear?
Whether it is or not, Cersei has completely lost interest in joining forces with House Tyrell.

In the eyes of Queen Cersei, King Robert is no different from the dead. When Joffrey inherits the Iron Throne, she will be the Queen Regent, just a golden rose...not to mention that now that Jon is dead, the Tyrell family is gone usefulness.

Robert wasn't dead yet, she wasn't the Queen Regent, and Cersei had a hard time holding back her murderous intentions.

When she was regent... Cersei took a sip of Summer Red, and raised the corners of her lips: "Lady Orianna, it must be very tiring to come from a long distance, and... this Miss Rose?"

Margaery just smiled slightly, and looked at her grandmother.

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

Saying that, Olenna patted Margaery's little hand, and continued: "I think the Queen's complexion is very bad. Is she troubled by the death of Prime Minister Jon? The Tyrell family came for an appointment, and the old lady is also very willing." To serve the Queen."

Cersei paused for a moment while shaking the wine glass, and replied casually: "The old duke left very suddenly. People in the Red Castle are in panic. I'm trying to calm people down."

Olenna nodded, and said: "My son who never listened to his mother's nagging, this time he is doing well, and he should be working hard in the church to appease people's hearts."

Cersei was wary; she didn't want to bring the conversation up about her son.

The Tyrell family brought Margaery, who is of marriageable age, to King's Landing. Do they still want to marry the royal family?
Queen...Cersei clenched her wine glass tightly: "Thank you, Lord Highgarden."

Olenna's tone was mocking: "My son is only suitable for running errands, the queen should not expect him to do well."

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

Cersei is not interested in war, which I hear occasionally from Green, who admires the Duke of Highgarden.

Olenna's eyes were shining brightly: "This is really a wonderful misunderstanding. The Duke of Highgarden must be so happy that he can't sleep when he hears this."

Cersei looked at Olenna with some doubts.

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

But my son has soft ears and was easily encouraged by his subordinates. He ignored my dissuasion and led the army to go out... Heh, what kind of siege is that? He has never been close to the real battlefield. , the Lord of Highgarden only laid siege to his table. "

The corner of Cersei's lips twitched, and said: "The process is not important, the truth has always been written by the winner."

The light in Mrs. Olenna's eyes flickered: "That's a matter for historians. The old woman can only chatter about her children."

Olenna grabbed the armrest of the chair and got up tremblingly: "The old lady will not delay the queen anymore, 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 figures of the two leaving, wishing she could immediately call the guards to execute Margaery.

Cersei's beautiful eyes are sharpened, and her enemies can only end in dust.

Ridiculous prophecy, will prophecy still be prophecy once she gets rid of all threats?
…………

Outside Maegor Tower.

Margaery walks slowly with the silent Olenna on her arm
Margaery gestured to the maids with her eyes, and the maids slowed down and distanced themselves.

Margaery looked at Olenna and said softly, "Grandmother, Queen Cersei seems to be very hostile to me."

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

Margaery's face was heavy: "Grandmother, I'm also surprised, does Queen Cersei want to go back on her word?"

"Our Duke of the Boar is still dreaming sweet dreams!"

Olenna continued: "Although it's absurd, that's the idea of ​​that stupid woman in Maegor Tower."

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

Margaery herself felt a little unbelievable after she finished speaking.

Olenna snorted coldly: "Stupid people don't realize their stupidity, she only thinks that she is very smart and can play with everyone."

Margaery said, "Grandmother, this is an insult to the Tyrell family from Her Majesty the Queen."

Olenna patted Margaery's hand that was holding her arm: "Outsiders only see the magnificence of roses, but they always ignore the thorns on roses. Golden roses always hold 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 obediently if she looks at her. If it can be done, the old woman will go directly to Tywin in Casterly Rock City, and then I will see how Lannister will pay his debts."

Margaery nodded and said, "Grandmother, I understand. I won't tell father what happened today. Father's enthusiasm is just right. Let's wait and see how Queen Cersei breaks the contract."

Olenna looked lovingly at her bright granddaughter.

The trees around Meige Tower are shady, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

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

Earl Green?Margaery replied: "Grandmother, yes! Earl Green wrote to me before leaving Westeros. If you want to contact him, you can send the letter to his Mermaid Port."

"Margaery, write him a letter as soon as you get back, tell him... his favorite Duke of Metz has encountered a problem, if he can't find a way to solve it, the old woman will beat his ass, just write it!"

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

Olenna took another step: "Margaery, favorites are useful. Do you know what favorites are best at? They are best at wiping the ass of stupid big men! The little guy can become the favorite of a stupid queen." , must know Cersei's character best."

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

Olenna's deep-set eyes hid worry.

Cersei Lannister was well covered by Tywin's cunning lion.

As long as they have a little ability, they will inquire about the things in the Red Castle. Most people's understanding of Cersei is more willful.

Lannister was born in the Light of the West, and she is also a queen. She has a more arrogant personality, so she would think it is normal.

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

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

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

pantos.

Green looked up at the sky for a while, and murmured: Duke Jon is dead.

Green heard this news from the busy street.

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

As a result, Green found that the news in the busy market was much faster than his own channels.

After Green came to Pentos, he was warmly received by cloth merchants and jewelers.

Grimm buys for Boss Cersei, only the best items.

Among the many streamers of fabric, the red one... the thinner the better... After Green has selected it, the rest can be handled by Steward Roselle.

Time to go back.

…………

Governor Illyrio's mansion.

Daenerys didn't hide the disappointment on her face: "Earl Green, do you really want to leave?"

Since meeting Green, Green has given her the reassurance she craves most, which makes Daenerys feel like she has returned to her childhood when Sir William was still there.

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

The guards I left behind will protect your safety, and I can feel at ease even 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 the troops there sooner or later, when you..."

Before finishing speaking, Daenerys' eyes gradually became misty.

Green shrugged and said: "The Kleiber family was almost destroyed in the war more than ten years ago, and we can't stand another defeat.

So, 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.And, Prince Viserys..."

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

"of course……"

Daenerys stopped her voice, she was thinking why did Green ask such a question?
According to his brother, the Iron Throne originally belonged to Targaryen, but was temporarily snatched away by the snatchers.

"Many, many people will die."

Green looked at Daenerys who was hesitant to speak and showed a smile, and continued: "According to the law, the Iron Throne belongs to the Targaryen family of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

A big reason why Baratheon was able to secure the Iron Throne was because his grandmother was a Targaryen, and he sat there in line with the legal principles of inheritance.

Over the past ten years, the Seven Kingdoms have tended to be stable, but most of the people at the bottom have only just shaken off the post-war influence, including most of the minor nobles. "

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

Green spread his hands: "Look at what His Royal Highness has done. Most people are more concerned about whether their own interests will be affected, or whether they 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 for a while, and said: "Whoever gives me the valley, I will give him... a horse to ride on."

After finishing speaking, Green couldn't help but look up and smile.

Daenerys was stunned for a moment, then also laughed out loud.

Laughing, Green and Daenerys' eyes met.

Green said gently, "If Her Royal Highness orders, I will consider sending troops."

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

Green still gave her the answer before leaving, without even asking for anything, and left her with manpower.

Daenerys understood very well that what her brother cared about most was soldiers and horses. Now that she had completed Viserys' mission, she didn't have to worry about awakening the wrath of the sleeping dragon.

Could he... Daenerys's small face turned, her purple eyes moved to Green, her lips moved.

Green didn't seem to notice Daenerys' strangeness: "Your Royal Highness, it is an honor to be recognized by you."

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 smiled brightly: "Earl Green, I believe we will not be separated for long, and you and I will meet again soon."
