Compared to when Tywin was still alive, Kevon Lannister had aged a lot. He was still tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, but his once sparse short blond hair had fallen off his forehead.
His brother had died tragically, his second nephew had killed his father, his eldest nephew had gone missing, his niece had turned into the Mad King the Third (the second was Joffrey), otherworldly ghosts had appeared on the Wall, Dragonstone Island had changed owners, and the Targaryens had returned …
And his eldest son, Lancel, had given up his title and fief to become the Great Sparrow's right-hand man. He had even betrayed Cersei.
Even Sir Kevon, who was as steady as an old dog, felt that Lannister's rule could no longer be stable.
He stroked his thick chin, his neatly trimmed golden beard, and sighed. "For a mere million gold royals, you released an uncontrollable beast. Look at you now, do you still think it was worth it? "
Thinking of her recent experience, Cersei's pale cheeks twisted. She growled, "I am the Queen Dowager. The archbishop should listen to me."
"The Targaryens have dragons, but they dare not say such a thing." Kevon's eyes showed a strange mixture of sarcasm and pity. "The Great Sparrow accused you of regicide, godslaying, incest, treason, infidelity, and false accusation.
And just because the Targaryens were married, the Church thought that they were violating human relations and wanted to rebel.
Compared to you, Mergal the Cruel was a saint. What makes you think that the archbishop will listen to you when he is armed? "
"Ha, godslaying?" Cersei laughed. "I would like to, but is it possible?"
"That is the problem." Kevon's face was solemn. "The Great Sparrow believes that the archbishop is the spokesman of the Seven Gods in the world. Murdering him is equivalent to godslaying.
Do you understand what this means?
The archbishop is equivalent to the Seven Gods. Then how much is the king on the Iron Throne worth? "
"Then send troops to exterminate the Great Sparrow. Kill the Great Sparrow's beggar army and let the Great Sparrow lick my feet!" Cersei said bitterly.
"Turn the holy land into a slaughterhouse?" Kevon was stunned for a moment before he shook his head with a bitter smile. "If Tywin was here, he might have done so long ago, but I …"
I'm sorry, but Lannister's elite soldiers followed Jaime to Hejian County, and I don't have that kind of courage. Actually, if Tyrion was here … "
"Don't mention that bastard. He murdered my son and killed my father. It's all because of him that I'm in such a miserable state today!"
Cersei was so angry that veins popped out on her pale arm that was pressed against the back of the chair.
"Achoo, achoo ~ ~ Who's talking about me?"
In the Bay of Sorrows, Tyrion rubbed his nose and walked to the railing of the ship. He looked at the distant blue mountains and muttered,
"Sigh, we've finally arrived at Slaver's Bay. I wonder if the Dragon Queen would be like my bitch sister, preferring a brainless deformed devil monkey …"
"Achoo, achoo ~ ~"
"Did you catch a cold?" Kevon looked at his niece who was suddenly sneezing and asked with concern.
"No … That name makes me sick." Cersei gasped.
"Sigh …" Kevon placed his elbows on the table and massaged his temples. He sighed and said, "Fine, you don't like Tyrion, but Margaery is Tommen's wife, your daughter-in-law.
Which mother-in-law would send her lover to seduce her daughter-in-law and then announce to the whole nation that the daughter-in-law is a bitch? Have you ever thought about Tommen's feelings? "
(Tommen the 'green' fatty who fainted from crying in the toilet: Sob sob sob, someone finally thought about my feelings. Second grandpa is the best!)
Cersei clenched her fists tightly and said angrily, "Tommen is only nine years old, and Margaery is sixteen. As a woman, I know best that she won't be able to take it. She definitely won't be able to take it! Otherwise, why would she ask for moon tea from Pycelle? "
Kevon said casually, "You also said that the age gap is too big. It's natural for her to be unable to take it. If Margaery can drink moon tea, it means that she won't give birth to a bastard child for Tommen. Life doesn't go as planned. Just bear with it, and it will be over. "
(Tommen's expression was wooden. Second grandpa, is this something a human would say? Why can't you bear it?)
"Hmph, how do you know that Margaery won't give birth to a bastard child?" Cersei raised her chin slightly and felt an inexplicable sense of superiority.
"Uh …"
Looking at his niece's mocking and smug smile, Kevon realized that the person in front of him was an expert, a senior.
Stealing a man, giving birth to a bastard child, murdering her own husband, and giving birth to a bastard child to usurp the throne. The combination of the "Poison Queen" moves was very smooth.
Sir Kevon said earnestly, "But we can't do without the support of the High Court now, especially when Targaryen appears in the Westeros again.
Danny Rize has a dragon!
Let's not talk about the fact that Margaery hasn't given birth to a bastard child. Even if she does give birth to eight or ten bastards, Tommen, you, me, and all the Lannister will happily acknowledge them.
Anyway, Tommen's surname is Byra, Theon. Our Lannister is not that embarrassing … "
"Uncle, what are you talking about? In a game of power, you either lose or win. There is no middle ground, no compromise. "Cersei said angrily.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" Sir Kevon raised his voice and asked, "Danny Rize Targaryen is back. She has a dragon, a dragon, a dragon, understand?
With the power of the Lannister family alone, Tommen won't be able to sit on the Iron Throne. Understand? Our real enemy is the Targaryens. Understand? "
"Danny Rize …" Cersei chewed on this name repeatedly as if she was chewing gum. She started to suspect the identity of the woman in the prophecy.
"Is Danny Rize beautiful? Is she as beautiful as me? "
She asked without rhyme or reason. Sir Kevon was confused.
"What?" he asked in confusion.
"Is Danny Rize as beautiful as me?" Cersei asked again.
"Are you crazy?" Sir Kevon widened his eyes in horror. It was as if the woman in front of him had suddenly turned into a terrifying monster that he had never seen before.
"Could it be that I guessed wrongly? The woman who is younger and more beautiful than me and who took away everything that I cherish is not Margaery, but Danny Rize?"
Cersei looked at her uncle in a daze. She muttered something that Kevon did not understand.
"Danny Rize will not conquer the King's Landing immediately. She has made a sacred oath to the vassals of the world, 'The one who ends the long night shall be king.'
So you don't have to worry about the Mystic Dragon burning the King's Landing. Targaryen is a threat, but only a threat in the future. Don't worry, don't be afraid, don't be crazy … "Sir Kevon was a little scared and tried to comfort her.
Cersei came back to her senses and understood her uncle's words. She sneered, "You believe a woman's words? I dare say that the little bitch is secretly building a huge navy. She will first use lies to make us lower our guard, then use Dragonstone Island as a bridgehead to bring the army across the narrow sea and directly take the King's Landing. "
"With my intelligence, I would do the same, but you don't understand!?" Cersei shook her head gently and sighed.
Sir Kevon glared at her and said, "The Dragon Queen's reputation is very good. Now everyone says that 'Targaryen's words are like a mountain.' She has never broken an oath in the past few years, let alone a sacred oath. "
"Targaryen's words are like a mountain? She really knows how to flatter herself. That woman said it herself, right? "Cersei smiled contemptuously.
"You think I'm stupid? It's useless to say anything these days. It depends on what she does. " Sir Kevon's eyes flashed with admiration. He sighed and said, "Don't doubt it. Lannister has people on the Great Wall. Her every move is written in reports and sent to Casterly Rock by messenger crows.
I can swear that she is definitely a true knight queen who cherishes her people, is righteous and trustworthy, and is brave and fearless. "
"Are you crazy?" Cersei exclaimed as if she had suddenly seen a big monster.
"Know your enemy and acknowledge her nobility. Only then can you defeat her." Sir Kevon looked directly into Cersei's eyes and said word by word.
"During the War of the Four Kings, your father personally admitted that compared to the young wolf master's bold and unrestrained style, his art of war and experience were somewhat out of place.
Thus, he avoided direct confrontation and defeated the enemy in the field that he was best at, but the young wolf master was not. "
"Alright, tell me, what is the field that Danny Rize is not good at, but you are good at?" Cersei curled her lips and said.
Sir Kevon's eyes flashed. He smiled faintly and said, "She is very brave and very responsible. Let the Deviants take her away!"
"What are you talking about?" Cersei rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "Only the most ignorant village woman would believe that verbal curses are useful.
I also want to let the Deviants take Margaery away, but that bitch is sitting by the warm fireplace of the Red Keep, drinking and laughing happily. "
Sir Kevon pressed between his eyebrows. Talking to his stupid and crazy niece made him feel very tired. At the same time, he missed his smart and decisive elder brother more and more. How could such a great person die in a latrine pit?
Damn Tyrion!
Sighing in his heart, the "old dog" of the Lion Family forced himself to be alert and said, "Margaery is not in the Red Keep. Tommen and Pycelle are also not in the Red Keep."
"Where did they go?" Cersei asked in surprise.
"I sent a letter to Dragonstone Island, representing Lannister and the Iron Throne to acknowledge the agreement of 'the one who ends the long night shall be king.' I also hope to form a 'united front against ghosts' with Dragonstone Island to ensure that the King's Landing will not be invaded by the Mystic Dragon.
However, the Dragon Queen has not replied to my letter yet. The Red Keep is in danger of being burned by the Dragon Flame. We have to change places every day to avoid being attacked by the Mystic Dragon. "
At this point, Kevon's expression became strange. "In a way, you are safest in the Great Cathedral of Baelor. The Dragon Queen is a devout disciple of the Seven Gods. She will not burn down the Great Cathedral. Why don't you — "
Before her uncle finished his rotten idea, Cersei waved her hand and interrupted him. She said in a firm tone.
"I would rather sit on the Iron Throne and be burned to ashes by the Dragon Flame than rot in a cold and damp dungeon!"
"Cersei, you can no longer sit on the Iron Throne. No matter what the outcome of the trial is, your reign is over. I will be the regent until Toman comes of age."
Sir Kevon crossed his fingers and leaned back on the wooden chair. He stared at the woman opposite him, carefully observing his niece's reaction.
"I am the Empress Dowager! You should serve me, just like how you served my father, not replace me. "
Cersei clenched her fists and glared at her uncle.
"You admitted to the Great Sparrow that you were unfaithful and had an affair. The Church wants you to atone for your sins by parading through the city … naked."
Kevon turned his head away, as if he could not bear to look at his niece's twisted and miserable face.
"No, never," Cersei pleaded weakly like a helpless child. "Uncle, you have to reject the Great Sparrow's rude request.
He is humiliating me, humiliating Lannister, humiliating the king, humiliating the Iron Throne, and humiliating this country. "
"Cersei, you cannot represent this country," Sir Kevon sighed. "Do you remember what Tywin arranged for you when he was alive?"
"Arranged?" Cersei was stunned for a moment before she shook her head frantically. "No, I will not marry again. I am Toman's mother, the Empress Dowager. I will not leave the Red Keep, I will not leave the King's Landing."
The women in this world were sad. Even someone as strong and crazy as Cersei did not live a happy life.
When she was young, she could not help but marry Robert (she did not like Robert). When she was a queen, she was abused by Robert every day. After she killed Robert, she was ready to be a carefree Empress Dowager, but Tywin immediately wanted to marry her.
