iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 286 The obedient lioness

Three days later, the Meghta Hall of the Red Fort.

Cersei Lannister, who was slightly drunk, was leaning on the armrest of the chair. She was wearing a burgundy off-the-shoulder dress with an attractive figure. Her green eyes moved slightly as she looked at Osney who walked in through the door. ·Kate Black (Chapter 256, one of Cersei's guards).

Her cheeks were like the summer sunset, her lips slightly raised, and she said: "Osney, you are here, come here."

Queen Cersei looked particularly beautiful in the afterglow of dusk. Hearing her voice, Osney's footsteps paused slightly, and the nineteen-year-old young man couldn't help but feel his ears turn red.

Osney is tall, with black hair and a hooked nose. He is clean-shaven, and his face is a little shy at the moment.

After he stood still and was about to report the information he had just learned, Queen Cersei called softly: "Come here, get closer."

Looking up at Queen Cersei who was staring at him, Osney took a step forward and regained his footing.

Queen Cersei frowned slightly and said, "Come close to me, Ser Kate Black."

After the Battle of the Blackwater, although Osney and Osfry (Cersei's guard captain) among the Kate Black brothers did not participate in the actual battle, both of them were canonized under the instruction of Queen Cersei. knight.

Moving her finger down, her fingertips slowly drew circles on Osney's chest. Queen Cersei smiled and said, "You are really cute."

She raised her lips: "Are you the most popular?"

With a bang, the exquisite golden wine glass was thrown onto the stone floor by Queen Cersei. She suppressed her anger and said, "What did my father say?"

At this time, Queen Cersei leaned back gently on the chair and said coldly: "Back off, Sir, don't get too close to me."

Cersei's voice came, and it turned out that... her voice was so beautiful, and Osney couldn't help but smile in a flattering and joyful way.

He stood up obediently and took a few steps back. When he stood up, he was still thinking hard about what mistake he had just made, which caused Queen Cersei's attitude towards him to suddenly change drastically.

Osney was startled, and his mood suddenly became very depressed, as if he had lost something very important.

Yes, I still have something important to do...Osney swallowed secretly. He calmed down and said, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I have received news..."

Cersei's white and tender fingers slowly traced Osney's face and hair, and he suddenly forgot what he was going to say.

Osney replied blankly: "Maybe... the reason why Osfry (Osney's second brother, he is Cersei's captain of the guard) has a straight face all day long?"

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I haven't found out Duke Tywin's opinion on this matter yet." Osney had a worried look in his eyes.

After lingering for a while, she stretched out a finger, slightly raised Osney's chin, and said, "I heard that among the Kate Black brothers..."

Queen Cersei's voice was so seductive that Osney's body trembled slightly. A certain desire flashed in his eyes. He mustered up the courage... to look up at the most noble woman in the Seven Kingdoms.

There are no secrets in the Red Keep for those who care, Osney told Queen Cersei...Tyrion proposed to Lord Tywin that she marry Edmure Tully, the heir of Riverrun.

"Sir Osney."

Osney almost knelt down against Cersei's skirt. His eyes couldn't help but sweep over her belly. After a pause, he quickly lowered his face respectfully.

Queen Cersei shook the wine glass inlaid with gems in her hand. She looked at Osney who was silent and the corners of his mouth slightly curved imperceptibly. A man can only think with the soft worm between his legs, as long as he masters it. , he was at my disposal.

Osney quickly looked at Queen Cersei, and within his sight... her hand gently traced her curvaceous collarbone.

Osney's footsteps moved, and Queen Cersei said impatiently: "Come closer to me and kneel in front of me."

Osney's Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously, and Queen Cersei's voice sounded: "What do you want to report to me, sergeant?"

His ears became redder and his voice was slightly trembling: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I have something important to tell you..."

Cersei walked back and forth while saying: "You treat me like an object again?! How dare...how dare..."

Her footsteps suddenly stopped and she said angrily: "I want to see the old lion."

…………

With a bang, the door to the study room in the Prime Minister's Tower was pushed open, and Queen Cersei walked in with her chin held high. Tywin Lannister, who was writing a letter, calmly glanced at Cersei who suddenly broke in. The quill in his hand kept moving.

The old lion just glanced at it lightly, but the originally aggressive lioness... suddenly turned into a well-behaved little lioness.

She forced a smile, gave a gentle salute, and said, "Good night, father."

She grabbed the back of the chair on the other side of the table with one hand, as if she was looking for something to say: "You haven't rested yet, are you busy with government affairs? Are you hungry? Do you want someone to prepare something to eat, or some..."

Lord Tywin still held the quill in his hand, without raising his head, and said, "Please sit down."

"Thank you." Cersei sat down gently, her manners were elegant, and she was more ladylike than the ladies of the Tully family.

Cersei straightened her back and sat quietly, waiting.

There was only the sound of the pen writing on the paper. After a pause, she couldn't help but cough slightly, hinting to Lord Tywin... that she had something to say.

Swishing, swishing, swishing, Duke Tywin seemed not to hear the movement of his well-behaved daughter, he still did not raise his head.

After a while, Cersei coughed again, this time slightly louder than the last time.

The quill in Lord Tywin's hand paused for a moment, then continued writing, and said: "Please speak."

Cersei pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at the old lion and said, "Father, I think...among your children...I am your most outstanding descendant..."

She raised her chin slightly: "I can make greater contributions to the Lannister family in the Red Keep."

Lord Tywin just finished writing and put down his pen. He leaned back in his chair and looked at the daughter in front of him with his light green eyes dotted with golden yellow.

Facing the old lion's gaze, Cersei's fingers under the table flexed, and she smiled like a lady.

In Cersei's expectant eyes, Duke Tywin spread his hands and said, "Yes, please contribute."

Cersei: "…………"

After a long silence, Lord Tywin's good patience made Cersei even more nervous. In her desperation, she thought of a good suggestion: "Father, in view of our last battle with Stannis, the kingdom should strengthen Blackwater Bay as soon as possible. The more royal fleets, especially the 200-oar battleships, the better.”

"very good."

Duke Tywin nodded in agreement and said, "Then, please tell me, where is the golden dragon that built the ship?"

Cersei was slightly startled, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said strangely: "Of course it's the chancellor."

Duke Tywin stared at Cersei for a while and said, "Then where does he go to find money? The kingdom's treasury where even rats don't want to stay?"

"I know the status of the kingdom's treasury."

Cersei reminded Duke Tywin: "Although... he is not rich, doesn't Robert still have a powerful royal fleet? Moreover, he can live and drink every day."

There was a little anger in Lord Tywin's voice: "Have you ever thought that Robert is not short of money because of my continued funding?"

Cersei: "…………"

After a pause, she said tentatively: "Father, do you want to stop supporting Joffrey? This..."

Lord Tywin tightened his grip on the armrest and interrupted with a loud voice: "How can I stop? How can I stop? I can only continue!"

He took a slow breath and continued: "But war is like a bottomless pit that swallows gold. Only by ending the war as soon as possible can we keep Lannister and your son's Iron Throne."

He stared at Cersei and said, "This is the greatest contribution you can make."

The corners of Cersei's eyes turned red: "So, is it true that you want to trade me for peace? I want to stay in King's Landing, stay with my son, and I will not marry."

Duke Tywin gritted his upper and lower teeth and said, "Cersei, I will choose a suitable candidate for you. You can still have children. You will have a new husband and give birth to children for him."
