iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 250 Lioness and True Dragon

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Grand Maester Pycelle's plea came from under the long table.

His actions made Queen Cersei dissipate most of her anger. She lowered her eyes and looked at Tyrion who was blocking her, and said: "My brother Prime Minister, have you thought clearly?"

Tyrion heard the threat in Cersei's words. He shrugged and said, "My sister, the war may be over soon."

A sneer appeared on Queen Cersei's lips: "I hope you can survive."

Tyrion grinned and said, "May the Seven Gods bless him."

With a cold snort, Queen Cersei turned around and walked out of the throne room surrounded by the Kingsguard.

…………

In the training ground, King Joffrey's voice sounded: "My dogs, if they dare to move again, their legs will be broken."

As soon as his words fell, cries and begged sounds started to come one after another.

Joffrey showed an expression of contempt that was almost the same as Cersei's, and said: "It's so noisy. If you can't quiet down, I will hang you directly."

Cersei happened to see this scene, and she looked satisfied with Joffrey's strength and majesty. Her son was a born king.

"Joffrey." Queen Cersei called.

"Mom? My dog, I leave this to you."

"I guarantee your satisfaction."

Joffrey came to Cersei. He raised the corners of his lips and said, "Good day, beautiful Lady Cersei."

Cersei couldn't help but smile. She caressed Joffrey's cheek lovingly and said, "Good day, brave Mr. King."

Joffrey invited: "Mother, do you want to see the bronze armor? I intend to expose the stupid legend myself."

"Walk with me..."

Queen Cersei held her eldest son's arm and said, "It seems you like Earl Green's gift very much."

Joffrian, who was slightly impatient, raised his chin, held the handle of his sword, and said: "This is just a small lesson I gave the Duke of the Eyrie. When Green captures Robert Arryn, I will give him a lesson." He gives me a fair chance to fight."

"That will be a grand event that attracts the attention of the seven nations. I am proud of you."

While walking, Queen Cersei added: "My son, Stannis is about to attack the city. I am very uneasy. I hope..."

Before she could finish speaking, Joffrey said directly: "Mom, you can stay in Megta with peace of mind. I will protect you. No one can hurt you."

Queen Cersei said warmly: "Joffrey, your mother is not afraid. What I am most worried about is your safety. I trust Earl Green more than the dwarfs. If he is by your side, I will feel a lot more at ease... "

"I'm not a child, I don't need anyone's protection!" Joffrey interrupted his mother's words with a slightly angry voice.

Joffrey declared: "I will personally kill any traitor who dares to claim kingship!"

He looked at his mother and continued: "Before you came, I had someone give Green the king's order. I want to see the Duke of the Eagle's Nest as soon as possible, preferably tomorrow. Mom, I want to let the Seven Kingdoms know. What happens if you piss off their king!"

Queen Cersei frowned slightly and said, "Joffrey, Stannis is a difficult opponent..."

Joffrey paused, and he interrupted his mother again: "My father once personally killed Prince Rhaegar at the Ruby Bank, and I will kill Stannis myself like my father!"

He continued impatiently: "Mother, I will protect you. You can wait for the news of my victory over Stannis with peace of mind."

Mother and son looked at each other for a while, then Cersei stretched out her hand, gently adjusted Joffrey's clothes, and said: "The king is fearless, you are my pride."

Then, she patted Joffrey's arm and said warmly: "Go, my Joffrey."

Joffrey then smiled happily like a child: "If I find something interesting, I will send someone to tell mother."

Queen Cersei smiled and tapped her chin, then watched her son strode away.

Seeing Joffrey walking away, Sir Lancel approached Queen Cersei, paused, and said in a deep voice: "Queen Cersei, I will charge on the battlefield and defeat Stannis on your behalf."

Queen Cersei looked away from Joffrey's back, tapped her chin, and said, "Go back."

Lancel read the perfunctory attitude from Cersei, his handsome face suddenly turned red, and his voice sounded like he was swearing: "Cersei, the sword in my hand will win you the glory of the Seven Kingdoms."

Queen Cersei turned her head, looked at Lancel, and said, "I'm looking forward to that day."

In Lancel's eyes, Cersei's blue eyes were as clear as water, extremely charming, and he was extremely excited by her expectations.

"Please believe me, I can do the same for you that Green can do for you, and I will do it better than him."

Cersei hid the annoyance in her eyes very well... Ever since Jaime and Green left her side, she could feel her power draining away rapidly, and it felt even worse today, which suddenly made her heart well up. Inexplicable panic.

Would she make a nice vase?

Queen Cersei raised her chin slightly... The Lannister lioness will never admit defeat!

Queen Cersei smiled tenderly at Lancel... A woman also has a sword between her legs. As long as she uses it well, a man will take the initiative to use the sword for her, and it is free of charge.

…………

Queen Cersei lifted her heels, kissed Lancel gently on the cheek, and said, "Lancel, how should I reward you for your loyalty and bravery?"

Her slender fingers lightly brushed under Lancel's body, and Lancel glanced around in panic, saying in a trembling voice: "Queen Cersei will be discovered."

Upon seeing this, a look of contempt flashed across Cersei's face, and her low voice was filled with sadness as she said, "Who will care about me now..."

Lancel clenched his fists tightly and said excitedly: "You...and me..."

"Yes, and you."

After saying that, Queen Cersei turned around and took a few steps. She seemed to find that Lancel was still there. She turned her head slightly, curved her mouth slightly, and said: "Sir, please send me to the dormitory. You The queen mother needs rest, and she needs the protection of knights."

…………

Ok……

The knights were galloping and fighting on another battlefield, and Queen Cersei couldn't help but let out a low singing voice.

Amidst the ups and downs, she was recalling the sudden and indescribable joy she had felt when she read the letter during the day.

At this moment...it can only be said to be similar...but far inferior.

Queen Cersei thought of her favorite drink, Summer Red. She could smell the sweetness of the wine, and sometimes she could hold the wine in her mouth, but she could never "taste" the pleasure of the wine sliding down her throat. One after another, she kept thinking about what it was?

…………

嗗~嗞~嗞~嗞~嗞~嗞~嗞~

Daenerys Targaryen, on the verge of the outbreak of the true dragon's wrath, stared at the three little dragons fighting, the whetstone in her hand kept moving.

The three little dragons completely ignored the threat of "mother" and they were still fighting fiercely. In other words, the largest black dragon, Lei Ge, was still teaching the white dragon Viserion and the green dragon Jones who dared to take the first bite of the barbecue.

After persisting for a while, Daenerys sighed helplessly, and the dragon's anger subsided because of her soft heart.

Stopping what she was doing, Daenerys looked at the whetstone in her hand suspiciously. She remembered that as long as the three little dragons listened to the sound of sharpening, which Green called a music lesson, they would immediately become behaving... Why not? Is it effective?

The battle decided the winner, and as a result Rhaegal was enjoying the barbecue alone, while Viserion and Jones could only "sit" obediently and watch.

Daenerys's violet eyes moved slightly, could it be... because the person sharpening the knife was not Green? !

Thinking of this, Daenerys's anger suddenly gathered again, and she was very angry.

The consequences of irritating her mother were serious. She looked at the guard captain of "Dragon's Nest" and announced angrily: "Borona, if they fight again in the future - the barbecue will be halved."

When Daenerys finished her angry words, the three little dragons looked at her together, paused, and then hissed, seeming to express their dissatisfaction.

Daenerys crossed her arms over her chest, raised her graceful chin, and said, "It's too late. This is the consequence of irritating mother."

Leaving the three little dragons who tried to save the roast with resistance, Daenerys left surrounded by the blue robes.

…………

Seeing Steward Sulana standing outside the main gate of Whispering City, Daenerys stopped her horse as she approached.

After the news of Kleb's victory in the battle in the valley reached Whispering City, it can be said that the entire Crab Claw Peninsula fell into laughter... According to the lord's order, the Marigold Ale that had been stored for half a year was opened. The doors were moved away one after another.

Therefore, Surana is very busy as a housekeeper, and Daenerys has rarely seen her recently.

Daenerys jumped off her horse nimbly. Surana stepped forward and saluted: "Your Royal Highness, Sir Mason and the garrison captain of Mermaid Port, Foley, are waiting for your summons."

Daenerys handed the reins to her guard captain Osana and said, "Lady Surana, did something happen?"

Surana replied respectfully: "It is said that ships with flaming red heart flags floating on the sea outside Mermaid Harbor appear from time to time."

The flaming red heart flag... Stannis Baratheon... is he trying to invade Kleb's territory? !

Daenerys's expression became solemn, she quickened her pace and said, "Take me to see them immediately."

Lord's Hall of Whispering City.

Daenerys, who was sitting in the lord's high-backed chair, said, "Ser Mason, I want to hear your advice."

The commander of the garrison, Mason Baker, caressed his chest and said: "Your Highness, although this may be some kind of temptation and warning from Baratheon, I feel that we cannot underestimate their danger."

Daenerys tapped her chin, thought for a moment, then moved her eyes and said: "Captain Foley, in the name of the Earl of Crab Claw Peninsula and the Guardian of Crab Claw Peninsula, Green Clay, please invite me to stay in Mermaid Port. of foreigners attended the banquet held in Whispering City."

"As you command, Your Highness Princess."

Daenerys looked at Kleb's retainer knight again and said: "Sir Mason, in addition to the mobilization of weapons, how many soldiers can we mobilize from the farms around Mermaid Port?"

Sir Mason paused and said: "Your Royal Highness, we can support at least 1000 archers within three days."

After Mason finished speaking, Foley immediately said loudly: "Your Highness, there are about 3000 citizens in Mermaid Port, and even the elderly and children among them can fight ten of them! When the flaming red heart flag first appeared outside the port , they are ready, they are all waiting to fight for you.”

The corners of Daenerys' lips curled up imperceptibly. Although she didn't show it on her face, she had a better understanding of the simple folk customs of the Green people.

She shook her head slightly and said: "Brave Foley, according to Kleib's law, only in a decisive battle involving life and death will all Kleb's subjects become warriors on the battlefield. Foley, they are now They are still protected by us.”

After a pause, she added: "We know that Stannis's goal is King's Landing, but..."

Daenerys stood up from the lord chair and took two steps forward. Her eyes slowly swept across the people standing below and said: "Whether it is unintentional or intentional, if Stannis dares to invade the Crab Claw Peninsula... …”

She raised her voice slightly: "Are your swords ready?"

A dozen centurions who followed Sir Mason and Foley shouted: "Long live the Crab Claw Peninsula!"

Daenerys raised her voice: "Fighters of Kleb, tell the invaders that we will welcome them only with swords and blood!"

"Sword and blood! Sword and blood! Sword and blood! Sword and blood! Sword and blood!" Everyone in the hall shouted at Daenerys, including several maids.

In a corner of the hall, Surana stared at the future hostess blankly. She felt that the scene in front of her became blurry, so she subconsciously reached out and touched her eyes, only to find the moisture in the corners of her eyes. Only then did she realize that she had already shed tears. Flow all over face.

Hot tears rolled down her cheeks, and Surana wiped them away with joy and sadness.

…………

The candlelight swayed gently, and Daenerys, who had put on her nightgown, looked through the book "Genealogy and History of the Major Nobles of the Seven Kingdoms" handwritten by Maester Al.

When she turned to the page about the Aylin family, she stopped what she was doing and read it carefully.

After a while, Daenerys, who was originally very interested, had to admit that Maester Al was right...this book was indeed becoming more and more boring as she read it.

She took a sip of Summer Red, encouraged herself again in her heart, and then continued reading.

Tuk-tuk-tuk, after the knock on the door, Osana's voice sounded from behind the door: "Your Royal Highness, Butler Surana wants to see you."

Daenerys said casually without raising her head: "Invite her in."

The door was pushed open and Surana entered the room, followed by two maids carrying wooden boxes.

After the ceremony, with Daenerys's permission, Steward Surana waved the maids to exit the room, and then opened the box.

Daenerys looked at it and said with some confusion: "Is this...leather armor?"

Surana nodded slightly: "Yes, this is the leather armor that Lord Green's mother gave me for safekeeping."

Daenerys reached out and touched the swamp marigold emblem on the black leather armor and said, "It's beautiful."

Surana seemed to be recalling: "When Mrs. Kleb gave it to me for safekeeping, she actually hoped that the next generation of Mrs. Kleb would never need it."

She added: "You are about to lead the soldiers to Mermaid Port, and it will still come in handy."
