Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Cersei, on the other hand, believed that King's Landing was impossible to defend, and that this was the only way to save Joffrey, Myrcella, and Jaime's lives. The worst outcome might be that they would be forced to wear black, which was better than death.

But Cersei underestimated Jaime's need for her, for which he was willing to go through fire and water.

The one-sided battle finally came to a conclusion: all the Red Keep guards were killed in the street.

On the slippery streets, Alex Ochhet, a member of the Royal Guard, also met a tragic end on the battlefield, pinned to the spot by six spears.

James, however, seized the opportunity. Taking advantage of the enemy's intention to capture him alive, he fought his way out and slipped into an alley in an attempt to escape.

"Chase!"

"Capture the regicide!"

When the commander-in-chief of the capital's garrison, Genos Sterling, saw this, he became anxious.

With his most important target escaped, he had no way to explain himself to the Queen. He had let Jaime escape by giving him too much freedom, so Genos Sterling hurriedly ordered everyone to give chase.

"Remember! Capture them alive!"

At the same time, he didn't forget to emphasize again that they must capture him alive and not hurt James.

Her Majesty the Queen's intention was merely to detain him; if Jaime were brought back as a corpse, Genos Sterling feared the Queen would rip his head off as well.

"Chase!"

"Don't run!"

The two then engaged in a chase, navigating the dimly lit alleyways of King's Landing.

James himself was a skilled fighter and strong, and after many twists and turns, he eventually disappeared into the darkness.

"Ok?"

"What about people?"

The Gold Robes lost track of James and stood at the intersection of six alleys, somewhat bewildered.

Meanwhile, Bronn, a mercenary whom Tyrion had summoned beforehand, and his companion Chigan were lying in ambush on the road leading from the Gates of the Gods to the Red Keep.

They were waiting to rescue a "big fat sheep" worth a hundred gold dragons who had been captured by the Golden Robes and was passing by. They planned to kill all the Golden Robes and then pack him up and send him to the Eastern Continent.

Unfortunately, the scheduled time has now arrived, and even exceeded it by quite a bit, but the target mentioned by the employer still hasn't shown up at all.

If the employer hadn't paid the huge sum of thirty gold dragons in advance, they would have thought they'd been tricked.

"What the hell is going on?"

"I can't speak," said the mercenary, Chigen, who was hiding in the darkness.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Bronn, with his black hair and messy stubble, gave him a slight glare.

"Shut up!"

"Keep waiting!"

Chapter 445 The Turmoil of the Emperor

A light drizzle is falling tonight, and the dark sky is devoid of moonlight.

Under the cover of night, King's Landing now operates under a strict curfew, so the battle in the streets did not cause too much chaos.

"quick!"

"Over here!"

Only the citizens of King's Landing, who lived near the Gates of the Gods, peeked through the cracks in the doors and curtains and saw the golden-robed men carrying torches, cleaning up the ravaged battlefield.

"hurry up!"

"Hurry up!"

bang——

The bodies of Red Keep guards were dragged away, loaded onto carts, and covered with black cloth.

Blood splattered freely on the ground, dripping down the wooden planks and then being crushed into the mud by the carriage.

Among them was even the corpse of a Royal Guard, though it was unknown which knight it belonged to.

The citizens of King's Landing who witnessed all of this hid in their rooms, trembling with fear, not daring to utter a sound, for fear of attracting some kind of deadly disaster.

What they knew was that they might have witnessed history, a horrific palace coup involving the kingdom's princes and ministers—something beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like themselves.

The Kingsguard, under the command of Genos Sterling, followed Her Majesty the Queen's orders and attacked Jaime Lannister, the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard and Her Majesty's younger brother.

The queen demanded that his personal safety be guaranteed, but that he be simply placed under control and stripped of his military power.

But unexpectedly, Genos Sterling was incompetent and messed up what seemed like a simple matter, allowing Jaime to fight his way out and escape without a trace.

Queen Cersei was furious when she heard about this and ordered the search for her brother to continue. At the same time, she ordered all the troops in the capital to be brought under control so that things would not get out of control at this critical moment.

That night.

Swish swish swish—

Squads of fully armed men in golden robes, carrying torches, began a massive search of King's Landing, hoping to find the whereabouts of the missing Jaime Lannister.

"here!"

"Kick the door open!"

bang——

Commander-in-Chief Genos Sterling of the Capital Garrison waved his hand, and the soldiers in golden robes stepped forward and kicked open the door of a house that appeared to be hiding the Kingsguard, then rushed inside.

However, the Gold Robes did not find James among them, only the homeowner's startled screams.

Meanwhile, the mercenaries Tyrion had hired at great expense to hijack the prison wagon were also somewhat at a loss.

They weren't high-ranking officials in the throne room, so they didn't know what had happened. They just felt that these men in golden robes were searching for someone all over the city like madmen.

The mercenary Bronn also sensed something was wrong. He had killed someone before he was twelve years old and was an experienced pragmatist with no morals whatsoever.

He sensed something was wrong and decisively abandoned the idea of ​​completing the commission to get more golden dragons.

Although Tyrion had paid him thirty gold dragons, that was not enough to make him risk staying here any longer.

"go!"

Finally, the lean man with a fierce, wolf-like face, looking at the increasing number of golden robes outside and the increasingly chaotic situation, gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Get out!"

However, it was already too late; a sharp-eyed man in a golden robe, holding a torch aloft, spotted them.

"stop!"

"What are you doing?!"

King's Landing has a curfew. Normally, three or five mercenaries carrying long swords and short knives might go unnoticed, but in this special period, no one should be around in the middle of the night, making Bronn and his group stand out conspicuously.

The man in the golden robe spotted them and shouted loudly. His voice alerted more soldiers from the capital's garrison, and a group of men surrounded them, spears in hand.

"Oops!"

When Bronn realized things were going badly, his eyes darted around slightly, and he decisively abandoned his companions, disappearing into a dark alleyway nearby.

The mercenaries showed no spirit of resistance. Although they were more ferocious than the Golden Robes, there were simply too many of them.

Seeing that Polon turned and ran away, they decisively followed and scattered in all directions.

However, Bronn reacted quickly and took the first step, while the other mercenaries reacted a little slower. Although the Gold Robes were not good at fighting, they had far more weapons, equipment and numbers than the mercenaries.

As a result, Bronn's companions were either killed or wounded, and he alone escaped by virtue of his own abilities, disappearing without a trace.

This was just a minor incident tonight.

For the Capital Garrison, it was merely a matter of searching for Jaime Lannister's whereabouts while incidentally eliminating a group of unruly mercenaries.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The men in golden robes dug deep, trying to find the whereabouts of the queen's brother.

Bronn, feeling betrayed by Tyrion, is searching the world for him, demanding more money to repay the lives of his beloved family, friends, and brothers.

...

Meanwhile, in a corner of King's Landing's Flea Nest, west of Rhaenys Hill's Flour Street.

The roads of Flea Nest were a maze, and the stench of pigsties, stables, and tanneries mingled with the smells of wine cellars and brothels.

The vanished James had changed out of his blood-stained white armor and into a golden robe that partially covered his face.

At this moment, he was staring silently at the naked male corpse in front of him with a gloomy expression.

He had just captured a lone soldier from the Capital Garrison, dragged him here, and pried him open to find out what had happened, but the answer Jaime received chilled him to the bone.

He initially believed that Genos Sterling had betrayed the Iron Throne and the Lannister family, because his brother Tyrion had already hinted at it.

But unexpectedly, he learned from the man in the golden robe that the one who ordered his arrest and stripped him of all military power was none other than the Queen.

Cersei decided to surrender to the Targaryen army, but Jaime, who had previously argued fiercely with her and refused to relinquish his military command, became an obstacle to the surrender.

Meanwhile, Tyrion, who should have been imprisoned in the King's Landing dungeons, had already left by carriage.

“Cersei…”

"Tyrion..."

James's breathing became slightly heavy. He suddenly felt as if he had been betrayed by the whole world, even by his own sister and brother.

Did they really not know that they would die after surrendering?

However, King's Landing is now fraught with danger, and he doesn't have much time left.

The commotion in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the handsome blond knight didn't remain silent for long.

The Red Fort is gone forever, so where should I go next?

Casterly Rock?

James looked up at the sky, which was gradually turning a pale white, and then wiped the rain and tears from his face.

He was dressed in golden armor and robes, and then, carrying a spear, he hurried away into the distance.
