iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 106 Targaryen
Cersei Lannister leaned against the back of the chair, put her hands on the armrests, and said coldly, "Varys, what answer do you want from me?"

Cersei's rhetorical question stunned Varys for a moment.

Glancing at Jon Arryn, Varys said nothing.

Queen Cersei snorted softly, lifting her smooth chin.

Renly Baratheon looked at the deflated Varys with a funny look, and said, "Your Highness Cersei, it seems that you have a better idea? We are willing to ask you for advice."

Cersei glanced at Renly lightly, rolled her eyes secretly, and said coldly: "Let the Duke of Metz serve as the prime minister's adviser for the time being, and you can also share some of the prime minister's responsibilities in advance, and you can discuss and decide the rest yourself. "

At this time, Renly also noticed that something was wrong, and Cersei today was quite different from what he remembered.

Renly's eyes moved, and he looked at Prime Minister Jon.

Seeing that Renly finally noticed the problem, Prime Minister Jon was relieved, and nodded his jaw imperceptibly.

The Lannisters have united with the Tyrells, and they are planning to seize power!

Renly restrained his smile, and said to Cersei, "Queen Cersei, this is not a good idea, Duke Jon is still the prime minister of the kingdom."

Cersei looked at Renly with contempt: "Duke Renly, if the prime minister can perform his duties normally, is it necessary for your queen to appear in the imperial meeting?"

Renly opened his mouth, paused, and then replied, "Duke Jon's health is gradually improving."

Cersei responded coldly: "You admit it yourself, Duke Irene's health is worrying!"

Renly threw up his hands and forced a smile.

No wonder Brother Robert doesn't want to see Cersei, I wouldn't like this domineering look.

Today's Cersei is not only messing around, but also has reasons, making it difficult for them to argue.

Renly, like Prime Minister Jon, felt that Tywin Lannister was behind what happened today, and that all of this was secretly planned by the old lion.

Seeing that Prime Minister Jon's health has problems, the lion is ready to pounce.

Renly told himself secretly that Lannister had never given up his ambition to control the Red Castle, and he must not take it lightly.

…………

Seeing that Renly was silent, Petyr Baelish raised the corners of his lips and said hoarsely, "My noble queen..."

Cersei directly interrupted Petyr who had just opened her mouth: "Enough! Each of you keep saying, is this planning to join forces to deal with your queen?"

Why doesn't Cersei want to see Petyr?
It's not because Petyr's background is not noble enough. In Cersei's eyes, Petyr is now Prime Minister Jon's lackey, so he doesn't bother to listen to his nonsense!
The corner of Petyr's mouth twitched, he shrugged helplessly, and closed his mouth bitterly.

Everyone was about to stand up and apologize helplessly, but Prime Minister Jon stretched out his hand to stop them.

Prime Minister Jon stared at Queen Cersei, who was still angry, and said: "Queen Cersei, the imperial meeting is meant to speak freely and express their opinions, and the imperial ministers will not intentionally offend the queen of the kingdom."

Cersei's complexion improved a little: "Hmph, I dare not be the best!"

When Cersei's words fell, Prime Minister Jon's eyes twitched.

Pycelle glanced at the dark-faced Prime Minister Jon, and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured that Duke Jon will definitely value your suggestion."

Seeing Queen Cersei staring at him, Prime Minister Jon nodded stiffly.

"My lords, I'm here today, I hope you can move faster, so as not to affect the king's debauchery."

After speaking, Cersei got up from her seat, and everyone got up as well, bowing to Queen Cersei.

Queen Cersei raised her chin slightly, glanced at everyone with her beautiful eyes, nodded and turned to leave the throne room.

After Cersei left, everyone sat back in their chairs.

Petyr spread his hands and raised the corners of his lips: "My lords, I don't dare to face the roar of the lioness anymore!"

Everyone laughed lowly, and the solemn atmosphere in the throne room suddenly eased because of Petyr's half-joking words.

Petyr was sending out a signal for Prime Minister Jon in a subtle way.

Even if there is no hint from Petyr, everyone knows that it is a kind of political tacit understanding, and the future imperial council will reject Lannister's intervention.

Cersei's sudden appearance just caught them off guard and made Prime Minister Jon temporarily passive, but the key to the game of power is not the momentary victory or defeat.

There must be enough patience in the game of thrones, and the imperial ministers are not lacking in patience.

Game of Thrones has only just begun.

…………

Red Keep, Maegor's Tower.

Cersei, who had changed into a tulle slit robe, took a sip of summer red happily.

The great victory in the imperial meeting made her feel refreshed. She loved this feeling very much, and this feeling was better than the joy on the bed.

In the few days before Green left King's Landing, he told Cersei all kinds of things that might be encountered in the imperial meeting like telling a story.

Green's tongue is still sweet, and Cersei also listened with great interest in those few days.

Green's cleverness lies in that he uses language skills to make Cersei feel that he is comprehending on his own, not being taught by Green.

I, Cersei, the majestic Lannister lioness, never needed to be taught how to do things!

Judging from today's results, Cersei has won the imperial meeting.

According to the rules of the game of power, today is not the end, Cersei just won a temporary victory.

But will Cersei worry about what lies ahead?The answer is no.

From Cersei's point of view, there are only winners and losers in the power struggle. Since she has already won, the imperial minister has to submit obediently.

If the loser dared to play tricks, he would declare war on her.

The roar of the lioness will make them realize the price of daring to offend her!
Cersei's beautiful eyes looked out the window and took another sip of Summer Red, and the corners of her lips curled up.

At that time, it was just a whim of hers, and she did not expect to get a very useful clerk.

Cersei shook the glass a few times... Is Green's loyalty reliable?
The more Green can embody value, the more Cersei will doubt Green's loyalty to her.

Cersei's desire to control is very strong. Although Green's performance has always satisfied her, she always feels that it is a little bit worse.

That's it, only Cersei in person... confirms and adds.

After drinking the rest of the wine in the glass in one gulp, Cersei couldn't hide the pride on her face. She sighed in her heart... The biggest regret of the old lion is that he doesn't have a real heir. I could have been the most ideal heir, but it's a pity I was born without **.

After sighing, Cersei's eyes flickered.

She has played the dutiful daughter, the blushing and shy bride, and the submissive wife.

She had endured both Robert's drunken groping and Jaime's lava outbursts of jealousy.

Cersei believes that the one who laughs last will laugh the best. She has always promised herself in her heart that she will take the entire Seven Kingdoms as her compensation.

Now, the day of anticipation is approaching, and the person she hates the most will soon be reduced to ashes.

The narrow sea is rough.

Two pirate ships approached Green's ship from the left and right.

The sailors on both sides received orders to fight on board. After the distance was close, they desperately threw the thick rope with the iron hook to the opposite side, and the rope flew for a while.

Green stood firmly on a high place, waiting for the start of the boarding battle.

Rick Snow yells, "Get ready!"

"Yes! Ready to fight!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Everyone responded one after another and faithfully carried out the captain's order.

The wind and waves are still very strong, and they will be thrown out if they are not careful. No one tries to use the cable to jump over. They are all silently waiting for the ship to approach the ship.

bump! ! !
The turbulent wind and waves intensified the collision between the ships, and the people on board instantly staggered and fell back and forth.

Many people were directly thrown into the tumbling waves, and it was hopeless to save them.

bump! ! !
Not long after, the ship collided with another pirate ship.

Everyone tightly grasped the cables that stabilized their figures.

Rick roared: "Draw your sword!!"

With a small round shield in one hand and a dagger in the other, Lake pushed away the crowd and stood at the front.

The performance of the pirates was not much better, and many people were still secretly cursing whether their captain was crazy.

They couldn't understand the anger of the pirate captain being provoked by the "prey".

Green was also a little surprised by the madness of the pirates. Just now he thought the ship under his feet was about to fall apart.

Green reflected that the micro-control of the ship still had to be handed over to the captain.

At least today is not a suitable weather for boarding.

…………

The pirates screamed strangely, holding up their weapons and killing them from both sides, and the two sides immediately fell into a bloody and chaotic battle.

Although the narrow space on the ship made it difficult to take advantage of the numbers, the pirates' offensive on both sides put them at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

Green opened his bow and set his arrows, and began to lock on the target.

call out!
Every time Green shoots an arrow, Martiel Baker on the side can hear the heart-shattering sound of piercing the air.

Which pirate is the most clamoring, which one is Green's target.

call out!call out!call out!
Green harvested one life after another, and every arrow he shot would accurately take away a pirate.

Strong physical fitness allowed Green to shoot out a quiver in a short time.

Green stretched out his hand, and Matil, who was covered with quiver, immediately handed over a new quiver.

…………

Relying on years of combat experience at sea, Lake steadily swung the dagger in his hand on the constantly shaking deck.

As soon as Lake killed the third pirate, he attracted the attention of the pirates, and they rushed towards him.

Lake clenched the buckler tightly, thinking to himself... This was a completely avoidable battle.

It was a battle he could not afford to lose, for his lord was on board.

The madness of these pirates exceeded Lake's expectations, and what he regrets the most now is that he didn't persuade Earl Green.

He has always been steady, but today he didn't know what happened, but suddenly his blood boiled.

Now... even regretting it is useless!
Things have come to this, only fighting, for the sake of honor, never admit defeat!
Lake was full of fighting spirit, and was about to take the initiative to charge, but stopped.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Before the pirates could get close to Lake, they fell on the deck one by one, and some were even nailed to the pole of the ship by bows and arrows.

Lake's pupils shrank, and he looked back at the direction the bow and arrow came from, a little in disbelief.

At this time, Green took another quiver from Martial.

With a bow and an arrow, there was a sound of piercing through the air, and Green Harvest started again.

Lake couldn't help shouting: "Long live the lord!"

"Long live the Mermaid!"

"For Kleiber!"

"Long live Qingyu Castle!"

With the support of Green's "strafe", the morale of the sailors was high.

Pentos, Governor Illyrio's mansion.

Although Governor Illyrio was bloated and fat, he walked surprisingly lightly and gracefully.

With the footsteps, Illyrio's fat body swayed under the loose fiery red silk clothes.

Viserys Targaryen, leaning on the bench, glanced at Illyrio and said, "My future chancellor, Governor Illyrio, do you have any good news?"

Viserys already knew that Illyrio was contacting the Cals tribe of the Dothraki Sea.

But the speed at which things were progressing made him very dissatisfied, and Viserys could not wait to lead his troops back to Westeros tomorrow to take back his Iron Throne.

Illyrio didn't seem to see the dissatisfaction on Viserys' face, and said respectfully: "I have seen Your Majesty, and may you be blessed by the Lord of Light."

Viserys curled his lips, and said, "Illyrio, what I need is not blessings, what I need is an army strong enough to take back the Iron Throne."

"My lord, I will receive good news soon. Ten thousand cavalry will be provided in return for the marriage."

"Oh?" Viserys sat up straight and asked hastily, "How much longer?"

Illyrio said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Dothraki have their own customs. You need to be patient. It's worth it for the Iron Throne."

Viserys was already smiling: "Of course, I will naturally be patient."

Illyrio nodded and praised: "You are a born king."

Viserys was excited for a short time, and then he asked worriedly: "Illyrio, but don't make me wait too long!"

Illyrio froze for a moment with a smile on his face, and Viserys, whose eyes were raised above his head, naturally didn't notice.

"Your Majesty, please believe in my loyalty. I am also very urgent. You only have one princess. I must talk to the Dothraki before I can rest assured."

Viserys said suddenly, "Dany is too thin. Are you sure they like such a small woman?"

"Princess Daenerys has the blood of ancient Valyria, and she comes from a prominent family. She is both the daughter of the old king and the younger sister of the new king. Now, under your careful decoration, she is quite royal."

Illyrio showed his yellow teeth, and continued: "You can definitely exchange her for ten thousand Dothraki Howler warriors."

Viserys temporarily let go of his suspicions under Illyrio's words.

Illyrio said again: "Then why are you looking for me? I only care about my soldiers and horses now."

"I have just received information from King's Landing that the false King Robert has re-appointed someone to hunt down Targaryen."

Viserys stood up abruptly, with panic in his eyes and a trembling voice: "Sooner or later, I will personally execute these snatchers!"

Illyrio lowered his head slightly: "Your Majesty, this place is absolutely safe, they are delusional."

Viserys seemed to have sensed his gaffe, stroked his hair, and said darkly, "Illyrio, I believe in you. I don't want the pursuers to appear before my eyes. I want you to throw them all into the sea."

Illyrio kept smiling and said, "My lord, if you know who the person in charge is, maybe the foolishness of the false king will make your mood happy."
