An ordinary cat only had a lifespan of about ten years, but the one-eared black cat had lived for a long time. Some of the older guards of the Red Keep called it an "old fart."
Because he had seen it during Eris' reign.
According to the lifespan of a human, the black cat was at least 120 years old, but it was still as fast as the wind.
Some people jokingly called it the "real king of the castle," because it ran wild and did whatever it wanted.
Once, when Robert invited Duke Tywin to a banquet, the black cat jumped on the table and snatched a roasted quail from Tywin's hand.
The one-eared black cat had done many things like jumping on the king's table, bullying Tommen's pets, and scaring the maids in the middle of the night.
But other than Arya, who practiced the Water Dancer, caught it for a while, no one could do anything to it.
This year, Erya returned from her studies. When she got close to the Red Keep, she saw her old friend again.
This time, Erya "caught" it with just a thought.
Erya easily returned to the Red Keep (when Eide was the prime minister, Erya lived with him in the Red Keep's Prime Minister's Tower). She skillfully found the Queen Dowager's palace.
But when she opened her poisoned claws and was about to send Cersei on her way, a pair of dark eyes with extreme malice stared at her.
She had been discovered.
She saw him.
The husband of the Queen Dowager Regent, You Lun Greyjoy.
She saw him staring at her with a cold smile.
She felt a great terror that made her soul tremble from his eyes.
She stepped back in fear.
Then she saw his eyes change. The cold murderous intent and piercing sarcasm disappeared and turned into a meaningful look.
"Get out, this is the Queen Dowager's palace!" He roared at her, then turned his head and said to the Queen Dowager, "This is the one-eared black cat that always bullies Tommen's kitten. It usually goes to the king's palace in the east, but today it seems to have taken the wrong path and came to our bedroom."
"Maybe I should tie two anti-faceless dogs to the fireplace. At least they can keep this annoying black cat away …" Queen Cersei glanced at her indifferently and muttered. She then continued to remove her makeup in front of the mirror.
— — You Lun must have seen through my disguise just like the Dragon Queen, and he … he seemed to be able to heavily injure me, so why did he let me go?
With a head full of questions, the one-eared black cat jumped out of the window.
Then, she remembered You Lun's words. Toman was in the east …
Cersei, Marin Tran, Ilyn Pyne, Rafe Sweetmouth …
"Meow —"
The cat's cry was filled with sinister killing intent.
Because the soul of the cat was muttering a list of names of the Grim Reaper.
She went to Tommen's bedroom. Standing on the balcony, she saw Tommen sleeping soundly in the inner room. She saw White Knight Marin Tran guarding outside Tommen's door.
Marlin Tran was armed to the teeth, his eyes sharp, and two dogs crouched beside him.
There were also four guards with red capes and lion helmets patrolling back and forth in the corridor.
The one-eared black cat stared at Marin for a while. Then, it jumped lightly and landed silently in Tommen's bedroom.
If it was before she learned the Grim Reaper's Bible, Arya would have hesitated because of the conflict between good and evil in her heart. But now, she did not feel much.
If her heart was as clear as ice, she would not be shocked even if the sky fell, let alone the child of her enemy.
She did not bite him. Instead, she put her purplish-black paw into Tommen's mouth … Fat Tommen even licked her paw.
"Meow —" Seeing Tommen's red face slowly losing its color, the black cat's mouth cracked open as if it was smiling.
This was just the beginning …
Tommen was dead, and Marin Tran, who was responsible for protecting him, was thrown into prison by the furious Cersei.
That night, Arya stood in front of Sir Marin, who was wearing a prison uniform, with another face.
She threw down two bronze keys and unlocked his shackles. She also returned Marin's knight sword to him and said, "I am the disciple of Water Dancer Silio. I am here to spar with you."
Silio was once the chief swordsman of the Sea King. He died under Marin's sword.
It was not that his swordsmanship was bad. It was just that he was Arya's swordsmanship instructor at the time. He only had a wooden sword for practice. But Marin was wearing a full set of white knight armor.
In fact, Silio's wooden sword had killed a few Golden Robes in a one-versus-many situation. He had also stabbed Marin many times, forcing him to retreat. But the wooden sword could not break through his defense (the Golden Robes were not wearing full armor. They were hit in the throat, cheeks and other vital points).
After that, Marin only managed to hit him once. The swordsmanship master who was comparable to Arthur Dane died in an abnormally sullen manner.
Today, Arya successfully avenged her master. She stabbed the sewing needle that Jon gave her into Marin's heart. The white knight did not even have time to draw his sword.
In a naked battle without armor, the highly agile Water Dancer had too much of an advantage.
Back then, Silio was able to crush Marin in swordsmanship. Arya had already surpassed him.
The she-wolf girl handcuffed Marin again. She even took out a dagger from her waist and stabbed it into the wound on the corpse's chest …
Not long after, a piece of news spread from the Red Keep. For failing to protect the king, Sir Marin Tran was killed as an apology.
Arya continued to work hard and prepared to kill Cersei.
She was not afraid of You Lun. As long as she was not in the animal form of a shapeshifter, she was not even afraid of the Dragon Queen. Because she had cultivated the Reaper's Bible, her strength and mentality had changed.
Then, Arya hit her head on a metal plate.
After Tommen died, his body was placed in the Great Sept of Baylor. Cersei had a mournful expression. She held the coffin in a daze for the entire night.
On a side note, the Great Sparrow did not refuse to treat Tommen's wounds. He also did not refuse to collect Tommen's body as a king. Because the one who crowned Tommen as king was the Great Sparrow himself …
In the middle of the night, the King's Landing was plunged into the deepest darkness.
In the Great Sept of Baylor, only a few candles on the altar burned quietly.
Under the statue of the Stranger, Archbishop Matthew led a few nuns to recite the Book of the Stranger, praying that the Stranger would treat the underage King Tommen well.
The hall was vast and empty. The candlelight was not enough to drive away all the shadows.
The one-eyed black cat sneaked in the darkness outside the candlelight. Its footsteps were light and silent. It was already close to Cersei's coffin …
"Bastard, how dare you!" Archbishop Matthew suddenly turned around. His eyes were shining with golden light. The dark and empty Great Sept of Baylor was filled with white light in an instant.
"Meow … Ow …" The black cat seemed to have been electrocuted. Its black fur stood on end and it fell backward.
At that very moment, Arya, who was inside the black cat, felt a tremendous divine presence. It was as if a gigantic palm was crashing down on her. The pressure was even greater than that of the Dragon Queen she had met at the River of the Trident. Back then, Blackie had just learned magic, and it was still far from its current level.
The next moment, her soul shattered and she left the cat spirit state.
"Cough cough cough …" In a small inn on Steel Street, Arya, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, felt like she was hit in the face by a wooden club. She fell backward with pain in her seven orifices and blood in her throat.
In an instant, her ruddy face turned sallow.
She was severely injured and fainted in a daze.
At the same time, in the Great Sept of Baylor.
Cersei looked around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"That cat …" Archbishop Matthew was also at a loss. He said hesitantly, "I felt an evil consciousness enter the Great Sept. I thought it was a demon …"
He thought it was the Demon Mountain or You Lun sneaking in.
Well, the people of the Seven Kingdoms knew about You Lun's blood sacrifice. They knew that he was an evil wizard.
"… I didn't expect it to be just a cat."
Archbishop Matthew had a conflicted look on his face. He felt the evil prying eyes approaching and subconsciously used Divine Judgment.
Using Blackie's Warrior's Soul, he cast the True Dragon's Roar.
This skill was not prepared for shapeshifters. It was mainly used to exorcise evil spirits for believers.
At first, Dani only gave the Big Sparrow and the other saints the Holy Healing skill. Not long after, she derived the Holy Light skill from the Holy Healing skill. However, later on, whenever the Big Sparrow encountered any difficulties, she would pray to the Holy Mother and ask for help.
If he could do it, Danny would design a Divine Art and teach him. After all, he would pay for it. If he could not do it, Danny would ignore him. He knew better and did not bother the Holy Mother with this problem.
For example, Big Sparrow asked the Holy Mother if there was any Divine Art that could make rice grow in winter.
The Holy Mother could not be bothered with him …
In short, the priests were also Transcendents. After Blackie usurped the position of the Seven Gods, the priests of the Seven Gods were no longer the pseudo-Transcendents that were despised by the Transcendents.
Now, if a priest of the Seven Gods went to the Transcendents' gathering, he would not be rejected.
In fact, all the priests of the Seven Gods who received the Divine Art were high-level devout believers. They were all big shots among the Transcendents.
Even the High Priest of the Black Goat could become one of the top three in Volantis. Wasn't Blackie ten times more powerful than the Black Goat of Korhor? Why was his High Priest not a big shot?
This was also the reason why You Lun was not worried about Cersei spending the night in the Holy Church.
Fine, they were all noobs. They had defeated the powerful Erya in one hit, but they did not understand what happened.
"Seven Gods, Sister Daphne is dead!"
Matthew and Cersei were looking at each other speechlessly. Just as the atmosphere was awkward, the monks and nuns outside the Holy Church exclaimed.
It was actually Erya who had suffered a vicious blow and had broken free from the cat spirit state. The one-eared black cat covered its head and rushed out, but the cultivators and nuns swarmed over to stop it …
Then, a nun named 'Daphne' met with tragedy. Her arm was hit by a claw and she died in less than three minutes.
"Ah, there's poison on the cat's claw. This poison …" Archbishop Matthew's expression changed.
Cersei quickly went over and looked at the three light purple wounds on the nun's right arm. Then, she looked at the nun's swollen face.
It was exactly the same as Toman's in the coffin in the Holy Church. This …
"Tyrion —" Cersei's beautiful face twisted into a demon's. She gritted her teeth and said, "The one-eared black cat killed Toman, and now it wants to kill me! That dwarf is so ruthless! "
"Why Tyrion?" Archbishop Matthew was confused.
"Other than him, who else would be so evil and hate me so much? That little magic monkey who should have joined the circus must have learned how to control cats and dogs from the bitch queen in Slaver's Bay.
If the bitch queen can control the pterosaur, isn't it reasonable for the little magic monkey to control cats and dogs? "Cersei said with hatred.
Well, the two of them were not to be blamed for their ignorance.
Even Stark's family, who had become wolf spirits, resisted the instinct to bond with wolves due to their lack of knowledge.
Stark in the North did not know about shapeshifters, let alone the Andals in the South of the Neck Swamp.
Hearing Cersei calling Saint Danny a "bitch queen", Archbishop Matthew was not happy. He shouted, "Your Highness, this is the Holy Church. Please do not insult the children of the Seven Saints!"
Well, Saint Danny and Saint Sparrow were children of the Seven Saints who were recognized by the Holy Mother. They were like righteous people in Christianity.
"That bitch violated the holy oath! She said that she would not start a war between the seven nations, but she let a fake impersonate Ray Cannon.
She even ordered Tyrion to kill my son. Why can't I scold such a person? "Cersei shouted hysterically with tears in her eyes.
After the pain of losing her son and the strange and terrifying assassination, Cersei needed to vent the pressure and resentment that had been building up in her heart for a long time.
Poor Archbishop Matthew was the target of his anger.
The innocent Danny was also implicated.
