iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 34 A Terrified Lancel

Red Keep, Maegor's Tower.

After listening to Lancel's trembling narration, Cersei, who was standing in front of the windowsill, glanced at Lancel with her beautiful eyes, and contempt flashed in her eyes: "Poor Lancel, are you frightened?"

Lancel's voice was still trembling slightly: "I'm sorry, Cousin Cersei, I found Baron Green's side by myself. After all, I was the first to propose the execution of those rumormongers at the meeting of the stewards..."

"But... But, it's not that I haven't seen decapitation, but I haven't seen so many beheads once!"

"Hundreds of people. When Baron Green waved his hand, the heads were really rolling, and the ground was soaked in red!"

"I...I don't even know how I got back to the Red Keep."

Cersei listened silently, the blush on her cheeks deepened, and her chest to her lower abdomen couldn't help heaving again and again.

Suppressing the warmth, Cersei suppressed her voice and said, "I really didn't see the wrong person."

Green's decisive execution made Cersei experience a different kind of pleasure, which seemed to exceed the pleasure that could be enjoyed physically.

Cersei's delicate body hidden in the long skirt moved: "Where is Robert now?"

"I heard that I went hunting again."

"Where's James?"

"At this time, James should be teaching His Royal Highness Joffrey sword skills."

[Joffrey, full name Joffrey Baratheon, Cersei's eldest son]

"You go down, you go to play with Joffrey instead of James, and let James come to me immediately."

"Okay, okay."

After speaking, Lancel seemed to have noticed Cersei's strangeness, looked at Cersei worriedly, and hesitated to speak.

Seeing that Lancel was still standing there without moving, Cersei took a deep breath and said coquettishly, "Hurry up?!"

Lancel was startled by Cersei's voice, and hurriedly saluted and left.

After Lancel left, Cersei moved slightly unnaturally and sat on the chair.

Cersei untied the headband that bound her hair, and her long golden hair immediately fell down her shoulders and collarbone.

Flicking the ends of her hair with her fingertips, Cersei lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes concealing the flickering eyes below.

Cersei pursed her lips, reminiscing about a strange and fleeting pleasure she had never experienced before.

........................

........................

Red Fort, Gardens.

Lancel Lannister felt that today was the worst day of his life.

Originally, he went to watch Green's execution of criminals with great interest, but his legs became weak from fright, and he finally returned to the Red Castle.

Enduring the discomfort, he reported to His Royal Highness Cersei very responsibly at the first time, but in the end he was indeed driven away by Cersei for no reason.

Now... Lancel, with a large apple on his head, faced Joffrey, who was aiming with a crossbow.

When James was teaching swordsmanship, Joffrey Baratheon was humble and studious, worthy of his status as His Royal Highness.

James was called away, and Lancel relaxed to replace James and continued to teach Joffrey swordsmanship.

Joffrey Baratheon is the heir to the Iron Throne. Lancel felt that it was necessary to establish a personal relationship with Joffrey in advance, which would help his future career.

........................

Lancel didn't want to be in front of others, especially if he was the heir to the Iron Throne. He didn't want to give the impression that he was cowardly, but his legs were disobedient and trembling involuntarily.

Joffrey Baratheon was 13 years old, with bright blonde hair, fair skin, and very handsome.

Joffrey, aiming with a crossbow, pursed his lips and said, "Lancell, if you move around again, I can't guarantee that I will be able to shoot accurately."

Lancel trembled even more.

Joffrey suddenly got angry and said, "Dog, my dog, do something to stop this coward from moving around!"

The huge man who stood motionless with his sword on his back moved at Joffrey's command, and strode towards Lancel.

This person has sharp cheekbones, thick eyebrows and gray eyes, and the right half of his face is covered with large, distorted scars. He is very tall, dressed in smoke-gray battle armor, and covered with an olive green cloak.

His name was Sandor Clegane, and he was the Lannister guard for Prince Joffrey.

Lancel looked in horror at Sandor Clegane who was approaching him step by step.

"what are you doing!"

Hearing someone's voice, Lancel's legs went limp, and finally he couldn't help but fell to the ground, almost peeing.

Tyrion walked over with a scowling look on his face.

Joffrey put down his crossbow, disgusted on his face: "What are you doing here?"

At this moment, Joffrey's expression was exactly the same as Cersei's.

Tyrion approached Joffrey. "My prince's nephew, shouldn't you ask your uncle first?"

Joffrey said angrily: "You interrupted my game! Why should I say hello to you!"

Tyrion slowed down his tone: "Joffrey, Lancel is also a Lannister. He is your relative and helper. You shouldn't treat him like this."

Joffrey curled his lips.

Tyrion stared at the disdainful Joffrey and continued, "What you hold is not a toy, but a murder weapon. Lancel may be killed by you by mistake. Have you thought about the consequences? This is not something that can be passed with an apology."

Joffrey didn't want to listen anymore: "That's enough, I didn't kill Lancel, isn't he fine now, I don't want to hear your lesson, I am the heir to the Iron Throne, I can do whatever I want, get out!"

With a snap, Tyrion jumped and slapped Joffrey across the face.

Joffrey put his hand to his cheek: "How dare you hit me, I'll tell mother!"

There was another snap, and Tyrion slapped Joffrey again.

Joffrey cried out in pain and burst into tears.

"Okay, go, go and tell my kind sister what his lovely son did just now!"

Tyrion's eyes were wide open, and he said in a deep voice, "Now, I ask you to apologize to Lancel immediately, and promise that you will never play with human life again."

Joffrey yelled, "Dog, get over here and beat him up!"

Sandor Clegane silently walked behind Joffrey with his long legs, but made no other movements.

"you you you!"

Joffrey first raised his foot and kicked the tall Sandor Clegane, then pointed at Tyrion and said, "You, you wait for me, I will not let you go!"

Tyrion raised his hand as a gesture, and Joffrey dodged back, screaming.

Tyrion looked at Joffrey who fled in embarrassment with tears in his eyes and sighed helplessly.

Tyrion reached out and helped Lancel to his feet.

"Thanks, thanks, Cousin Tyrion, I'm horrified, I've had a terrible day."

Tyrion grinned and said, "You're very good, at least you didn't urinate, and I would have urinated earlier."

Lancel's face was bitter: "I still have to thank you for saving the siege... But, Joffrey is a prince after all, is it okay to hit him?"

Tyrion shrugged: "It doesn't matter, Cersei doesn't like me in the first place, whether I beat Joffrey or not, Cersei's deep love for me will not change, I'm just sorry, Joffrey can't teach me well."

Lancel was still worried: "I mean, Joffrey is the heir to the Iron Throne, will it be difficult for you in the future?"

"Aha, King Robert will only thank me for helping him educate his children. As for the future... When our dear nephew inherits the Iron Throne, I will hide in Casterly Rock at worst. He will have nothing to do with me."

Really, Lancel nodded approvingly, and finally let go of what he had been holding on to all along.
