Maegor Tower.
Afternoon.
Queen Mother Cersei had washed away all the filth on her body. Along with feces, rotten fruits and other filth, she had also washed away her previous cowardice and tears.
Only endless humiliation and deep hatred were imprinted in her heart. They could not be washed away with clean water. Only blood could wash them clean.
"Lannister, you must pay your debts!"
At this time, the Empress Dowager had changed into a soft green wool dress and was sitting at the table enjoying a sumptuous lunch: broccoli sprinkled with walnuts, lemon cake, roasted sparrow stuffed with fruit, sirloin stewed with barley soup, roasted pork ribs wrapped in garlic and herbs …
"Crunch, crunch, crunch …" Cersei chewed hard on the crispy sparrow head, trying hard to imagine it as a large sparrow.
She had specially asked the chef to make the roasted sparrow dish. On the plate of the roasted sparrow, there was a seven-pointed star engraved with onion bars.
She looked coldly at her head of intelligence and chief scholar and announced, "Lannister will never forget hatred. From today onwards, I am the avenger!"
At this moment, Cersei had lost some of her charm and foolishness. She had settled down 70% of her anger and 30% of her hostility. Cabourn, who was beside her, could not help but be very careful.
He smiled kindly, like a little girl admiring an old grandfather. "Your Majesty, you will definitely drink the sweet fountain of vengeance."
Cersei was expressionless. "Before vengeance, I have to complete the trial of martial arts. Where are my white knights?"
The queen and the queen mother both had a king as her husband. For the king's reputation, during the trial of martial arts, other knights could not be invited to fight for them.
Yes, white knights could represent the king.
That was why after her brother Loras Tyrell was severely injured, Queen Margaery would rather be judged by the church than to clear her name through a trial of martial arts.
Other than the Knight of Flowers, Loras, the other six white knights were not only old and weak, but their strength was also worrying.
To make matters worse, they were all Lannister's men.
Knowing that her mother-in-law Cersei had reported her to the church for stealing men, Margaery still dared to use her men to fight for her in the trial of martial arts?
The problem was that Cersei could trust the White Knights other than Loras, but she did not dare to let them fight for her.
Jaime was missing a hand and was nowhere to be seen, so he passed. Palos was a coward who had betrayed Toman. Marrindland was loyal and brave enough, but his swordsmanship was worrisome. He had been beaten like a dog by the Knight of Flowers during the tournament. Osmond Kat Blake, Cersei's lover, was locked up in the dungeon.
Balon and Shiwen went to Dorne to welcome Princess Myrcella.
Ser Alex, Messiah's bodyguard in Dorne.
Cersei should have despaired of the Seven White Knights, but Princess Araine of Dorne came to her aid. She seduced Alys, leading to the White Knights' deaths in the coup d'état when the Dark Star cut Myrcella's cheek.
The White Knight had an empty spot, and Cabourn's creation, Frankenstein, appeared.
"Your Majesty, this is Sir Robert Strong, a new member of the Kingsguard."
A two-and-a-half-meter tall giant entered the hall. His legs were thicker than tree trunks, his chest was as big as a horse, and his shoulders were as big as a bull.
A giant helmet covered his face. Seven feathers, dyed in seven colors, symbolizing the Seven Gods, fluttered in the wind.
He wore a white glazed plate armor that shone like a young girl's hope. Inside, there was a gold-plated chain mail. A pair of golden seven-pointed star buckles clasped his white robe around his shoulders.
"Sir Robert …" Cersei was dazed for a moment.
She shook her head and said with a venomous look in her eyes, "Sir, I want you to kill one … no, five people for me!"
Robert Strong was motionless in Silence. Only his white robe swayed gently, making him look like a giant statue.
"Sir Robert?" Cersei raised her voice.
"Your Majesty, Sir Robert swore the sacred Oath of Silence. He will not speak until he has killed all your enemies.
If you wish to kill someone, just give the command. Your order is his mission. "Cabourn's lips curled into a smile as he explained gently.
"Good, very good." Cersei nodded excitedly. "Now, take off your helmet and let me see your face."
A hint of hesitation flashed across Cabourn's face, but before he could stop him, Robert Strong had already taken off his giant helmet …
"Ahhh, it's you. Why is it you? Go away, go away, go away …"
Cersei's rosy cheeks, which had just drunk the cider, turned pale. Her beautiful blue eyes flashed with extreme fear. She waved her arms and screamed.
"Your Majesty, do not be afraid. He will not hurt you again." Cabourn quickly comforted.
"Clang, clang, clang …" Robert Strong was like an emotionless robot. He put on his helmet and walked out the door.
After Robert Strong left, Cersei regained her composure. She questioned the biohazard mage loudly, "Why is it him? Cabourn, what have you done? "
"Your Majesty, I have already reported to you!" Cabourn said innocently.
"Seven Hells!" Cersei's face contorted as she reprimanded, "You said you were conducting immoral medical experiments. Is that something medicine can do?"
"I am a doctor from the Barbarians and Asha," Cabourn argued.
Then he added, "Also, he is the most loyal knight. Just like me, he will never betray you. Even if you ask him to bathe the Great Cathedral in blood, he will not hesitate or show mercy. "
"Alright, alright …" Cersei's face gradually regained color. She was convinced.
"Ask him to kill the five lowly commoners who were rude to me."
"Uh, which five? During the parade, many people were rude to you, Your Majesty. "Cabourn was confused.
"Then kill as many as you can. The more you kill, the happier I will be," Cersei said impatiently.
"My experiment is at a critical stage. I need some living materials." Cabourn rubbed his hands and smiled kindly.
"Sure. Their cries will give me a good dream. (There is a dungeon under the Red Keep. The cries of the prisoners can be heard by the people living on the first floor.) Of course, I want to hear the confessions of the three old nuns, Unia, Skoya, and Maule, "Cersei said.
"We cannot touch the people of the Church for now, Your Majesty," Cabourn advised.
"I know. If you want revenge, you have to wait until after the trial. Wait until I regain control of King's Landing. Wait until I call back the elites of the Lannister from Riverside … Hmph!"
"Your Majesty is wise," Cabourn complimented.
"Right, that Danny Rize." Cersei thought of the toad witch's prophecy. Her face darkened and her eyes flickered. "Is she as beautiful as me?"
"This …" Cabourn did not understand and chose his words carefully. "I heard that the people of House Targaryen are all good-looking."
"Damn it, it's her." Cersei's expression changed and she said fiercely, "Cabourn, help me contact the Faceless. I want her dead!"
"Uh …" Cabourn had a strange expression and said softly, "The Dragon Queen burned Braavos. The Faceless did not dare to accept orders to assassinate the Dragon Queen."
"What? What did you say? "Cersei's eyes widened.
Cabourn quickly told her what happened in Braavos a few days ago.
After the eight-clawed spider Varys' escape, Cabourn became Cersei's new head of intelligence.
Even when Cersei was captured, Pycelle and Kevan did not remove him from his position because of his outstanding abilities. He was forty or fifty percent as powerful as Varys.
"Dragons can talk? I don't believe it. "After listening to Cabourn's report, Cersei shook her head.
"May the Holy Light protect you, Westeros!" A loud and majestic voice suddenly came from outside the window.
The tone was very strange. It was deep and coarse, like a mixture of tiger, lion, buffalo and other large animals. It was definitely not a human voice.
"Ahhh, Megalosaurus, Megalosaurus is attacking. The Mother Of Dragons has come to King's Landing!" The castle guard shouted in panic.
"The Mystic Dragon can talk, the Mystic Dragon is talking, Seven Gods!"
Cersei's expression changed. She could hear her uncle Sir Kevon's voice downstairs.
What is he saying?
She could not help but quickly walk to the balcony …
"I am the eldest son of the Dragon Mother, I am the Holy Light, the Left Messenger of the Light of the Seven Gods …"
Cersei was stunned as she looked at the Megalosaurus with a thunderous voice. Her body stiffened and she lost the ability to speak.
At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind. The Mystic Dragon is talking!
Not only can the Mystic Dragon speak, he can also prophesy!
"I came to King's Landing today for three things. First, I swear in the name of the Seven Gods that the City of Knowledge violated the rights of the guests and distorted the truth … "
The Holy Dragon explained in detail what happened in the City of Knowledge before he continued, "This is against the teachings of the Seven Gods. It is shocking.
Therefore, the Dragon Queen and the Chief Bishop agreed to immediately put the City of Knowledge on trial.
Second, I received a revelation from the old woman in my dream. I found a stone tablet in the velvet hills of Andalos. It came from the Huguenot Dynasty more than six thousand years ago.
There was a prophecy recorded on the tablet: After the Long Summer, the stars will weep blood, and cold darkness will cover the world. The Son of Light was born in Riverland. He walked barefoot through the Seven Kingdoms. He held the Holy Sword of Light, forged with devout faith, fearless courage and iron will. He will dispel the darkness and end the Long Night. "
Er, Big Sparrow helped to change the prophecy. He felt that the prophecy that the Megalosaurus saw in the timeline was illogical, irregular and lacked foundation.
"The Son of Light, the Holy Sword of Light, what are those?" Cersei asked dumbly.
"It's a bit like Asha's prophecy, the one where Asor and Ahai reincarnate," Cabourn said with a strange expression.
"Er, then who is the Son of Light?" Cersei and Cabourn looked at each other and screamed, "Impossible, how can Big Sparrow be the Son of Prophecy? He looks so old and ugly!"
Well, in Cersei's heart, the Son of Prophecy should be as handsome as Legar.
"Ah, the Chief Bishop is the Son of Light!"
From the guards in the Red Keep, to the nobles on Aegon Hill, to the peddlers, residents and beggars on the streets, they all guessed the identity of the Son of Light in the prophecy like Cersei.
Compared to Asha's prophecy, the hints in the Seven Gods' prophecy were too obvious.
Suitable for all ages!
"Finally, about the Dragon Queen's sacred vow on the Great Wall, the one who ends the Long Night will be king …"
"Targaryen, your words are like a mountain. My mother is a woman of her words and will keep her promise. "
"Phew, this is good news." Cersei let out a long sigh of relief. "Seven Gods above, the Wings of Death can pick stars with his left hand and throw meteors with his right. If he sneaks into the Red Keep in the middle of the night and 'meteors fall from the sky', we're done for. "
"Yes!" Cabourn nodded and smiled. "As long as we find a group of ruffians from King's Landing and send them to the Great Wall every month, the Iron Throne will be considered to have joined the 'United Ghost Resistance Front', and she will not be able to do anything to you."
"I hope this winter will last longer, give me enough time." Cersei sighed. "With my wisdom and experience, it will not be difficult to take back the power of the Regent from my old uncle, and it will be easy to clean up the court's rebellious officials.
As long as the political situation of the Seven Kingdoms is stable and everything is under my control, the Great Sparrow will really become a soft and crispy roasted sparrow. As long as the Mother Of Dragons … "
"Sigh, how I hope the Long Night is real. Let that woman fight the Other Ghosts, let the King of Ghosts take her and her dragon away." Cersei put her hands together and prayed in the direction of the Great Cathedral of Baylor. "Seven Gods, let the Long Night become real. Let the Other Ghosts be as fierce as the Megalosaurus. Let the winter come fiercer!"
