Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Therefore, after enduring so much within the Red Keep, Cersei finally seized the opportunity to come knocking today.

"No need for that."

"Cersei."

"Just say what you have to say."

Viserys sat at a round table in the room, shook his head, and got straight to the point.

The beautiful blonde woman seemed surprised that there could be a man in the world who was so impatient with her.

Therefore, Cersei was somewhat unprepared and could only hastily pull down her collar, then take a deep breath and look at Viserys before speaking.

"I would like to ask you to pardon the sins of James, Joffrey, and Myrcella."

"This was also the condition I gave up King's Landing, and Princess Renis has already agreed to it."

The silver-haired youth sat directly opposite Cersei, watching the beautiful woman put on airs, yet appearing quite calm.

"The regicide is nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead."

“As for Joffrey and Myrcella’s crimes, I never pursued them, otherwise you wouldn’t be so relaxed.”

“But we have been trapped inside the Red Keep for months, Your Majesty.”

Upon hearing Viserys say this, Cersei couldn't help but speak up.

For the past few months, they haven't been allowed to leave Red Castle even if they wanted to.

She and her two children could only wander around the vicinity of the Virgin's Quarters, and at most go to the sanctuary to pray and to the Traitor's Corridor to visit her husband.

But since their last meeting, Cersei asked Robert a question before they parted.

When asked if he had ever loved him, Robert did not deny it and nodded.

After that, Cersei gave up completely and never visited her husband again.

Chapter 517 Cersei's Resolve

Viserys simply shook his head slightly when he heard Cersei's complaints.

"Believe me, Cersei, keeping you out of the house is for your protection."

The identities of a former queen and a prince/princess are extremely sensitive. Even though Viserys is not afraid of challenges, he doesn't want to create trouble for himself.

Their identities are too sensitive. If they are captured and used by someone with ulterior motives, it could bring them a lot of trouble. And if they are captured by those who want to use them, they may not necessarily end up in a good situation, or even worse.

"I know."

However, Cersei interrupted Viserys, and Viserys was slightly taken aback.

"Ok?"

Cersei stood up from the chair in front of him, then walked to the window and looked at the lights of the Red Keep outside the Virgin Quarters.

This was once her home, where she could stand at the window of Maeger Tower, sipping her wine and gazing at the beautiful view of King's Landing.

But at this moment, she could only stand by the window of the Virgin's Abode, looking at the sanctuary not far away.

She should feel even more honored to have the Seven Gods by her side.

However, Cersei merely bit her lip, her eyes revealing resentment and a bittersweet mix of emotions, before letting out a cold laugh.

Cersei was never a person of unwavering faith, because she knew that based on what she had done—murdering her companion, betraying her husband and committing incest with her brother, fathering two children, and sending assassins to kill Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King…

If gods truly exist in this world, then she must be the most unforgivable kind of person.

"you know?"

Viserys, sitting in his chair, looked at the blonde beauty standing by the window and raised an eyebrow slightly.

“I know that Joffrey, Myrcella, and I have special identities and cannot leave King’s Landing easily.”

"Even if the war is over in the future, and you have unified the seven kingdoms, it will still be the same."

Cersei spoke from the windowsill, then turned and leaned against it, looking at Viserys sitting at the round table.

"so?"

"So I'm going to tell you a secret."

...

Cersei leaned against the windowsill, slightly raised her delicate chin, took a deep breath, and then spoke.

"A secret that no one knows."

"It is enough to ensure your future reign, Viserys."

It seemed she had endured a great deal of psychological pressure to reveal this secret. The room was dimly lit, and Viserys could even see tears welling up in the woman's beautiful emerald green eyes, which were slightly red.

"Oh?"

"Could it be that you're telling me the true origins of Joffrey and Myrcella?"

Viserys' voice was calm. He sat at the round table, his pale purple eyes looking at Cersei with interest. He felt that he had really underestimated this woman.

After all, she was one of the main characters in the original trajectory of this world.

"How could you..."

Cersei's expression changed drastically upon hearing Viserys's words.

This was her and Jaime's biggest secret. Although Jon Arryn had some suspicions, he was killed by them before he could fully gather evidence.

How did Viserys know in advance?

How can this be?

Could it be that Varys told him? But Cersei thought she was being careful and that Varys shouldn't know this secret.

"I...I don't understand what you're saying..."

Cersei suddenly felt a little panicked.

The feigned sadness and deep love for her son that she had just put on vanished, leaving only a sense of helplessness.

Viserys's unexpected words disrupted Cersei's rhythm, even though the so-called 'secret' she wanted to tell Viserys was this very matter.

But a secret she voluntarily revealed is naturally quite different from something the other party already knew.

“Joffrey and Myrcella are the offspring of you and ‘Kingslayer’ Jaime Lannister, Cersei.”

“They shouldn’t be called Baratheons, they should be called Lannisters.”

Viserys spoke calmly, picking up a wine jug from the table to pour himself a glass, only to find it empty.

"Let me pour you a drink."

After hearing Viserys's words, Cersei's last bit of resolve was shattered, and she was somewhat lost, only able to force a smile to calm herself down.

Then he brought over a jug of wine and filled Viserys's glass. Seeing Viserys's gaze, he shook his head slightly.

"Don't worry, I won't poison you."

"You can't kill me even if you poison me."

The silver-haired youth shook his head, then downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, and then spoke.

"You want to trade this secret for the safety of Joffrey and Myrcella?"

After absorbing the power of the Three-Eyed Raven and the Old Gods, his spiritual power leaped to thirty-nine, just one step away from completely transcending the mortal realm. His physical constitution was also above twenty, meaning that poisons in this world had long been ineffective against him.

Cersei nodded quickly upon hearing this. Her intention was to seduce him with her body that night, because she knew that tears were not a woman's only weapon; there was another one between her legs.

She would use her body to conquer Viserys, and then tell the secret to one of his men in exchange for the safety of Joffrey and Myrcella.

After all, they were Lannisters, not Baratheons, but Viserys hadn't expected that he already knew this secret.

"Then you should also know, Cersei, that once this secret is made public, your reputation will be irreparably ruined."

After taking a sip of wine, Viserys looked intently at Cersei's expression and spoke.

A mother's love makes her strong.

It is truly remarkable that Cersei was able to do this in order to protect her two children.

Although there had been some rumors about the Lannister siblings, none of them had been confirmed. Without concrete evidence, no one dared to take them as true.

However, this time Cersei took the initiative to acknowledge that Joffrey and Myrcella were her and Jaime Lannister's children, which almost certainly confirmed the truth, leaving no possibility of reversal. Cersei may be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of her life.

"May I have a drink with you?"

However, Cersei merely shook her head upon hearing this, then sat down very close to Viserys, where one could even smell her faint fragrance.

Then she crossed her fair left leg over her right, poured herself a drink, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.

“You can reveal these crimes of mine during the public trial.”

"Prove the true identities of Joffrey and Myrcella, and eliminate any threat that may pose to the Iron Throne."

"Isn't this a win-win situation?"

Cersei sniffed slightly. She sat down beside Viserys, took his hand, lifted her skirt, and placed it between her legs, feeling a wetness.

"Yes."

Viserys looked at Cersei and nodded.

"This is indeed a win-win situation."

"Moreover, I believe you will pardon my crimes during the trial."

"For you and Her Highness the Princess."

Chapter 518 The Second Conquest War

It was the year 294 of the Aegonian calendar, the second year of the Gregorian calendar.

From the day Viserys was crowned on the Iron Throne, the calendar changed from the Aegonian calendar to the Gregorian calendar.

Now, in the second year of the new calendar, the Targaryen army, after less than half a year of rest and recuperation, has shaken off its fatigue and embarked on its journey with renewed vigor.

However, the nobles of the Westerlands, the Vale, the Riverlands, and the Stormlands, who represent the traditional aristocratic power of the Seven Kingdoms, will not surrender easily; they will not willingly relinquish their power and allow themselves to be slaughtered.
