"Where are the guards?"
"Sir Davon?"
Cersei did not call for the guards, so she looked at the door in confusion and called her cousin's name loudly.
Davon Lannister commanded the Lion Army and was also the garrison commander of the King's Landing and the Red Keep.
"Your Majesty." Tanya of Myr took a step forward. Her large black eyes were filled with tears of sorrow. "Last night, Sir Davon was torn apart by a group of hungry mobs when he passed through Silk Street in a sedan chair."
"Torn … Torn apart?" Cersei's face turned pale, and she said in horror, "Davon is the garrison commander of the capital! He is in charge of five thousand Lion Helmet Army and five thousand Golden Robes. "
"He was in a hurry and did not bring many guards with him." You Lun sighed with red eyes.
"Silk Street?" Cersei's expression suddenly changed, and she said in pain, "Davon is not guarding the Red Keep at such a critical time, but sneaked out to visit prostitutes? His leg is crippled! "
Silk Street was the red-light district of the King's Landing. Both sides of the street were filled with brothels of various styles and grades.
You Lun glanced at the queen's chamberlain, and a smug look flashed across his blue eyes.
Tanya of Myr also happened to look over, her black eyes filled with admiration.
The queen's husband and the queen's trusted aide only looked at each other for a moment before they looked away, each comforting the emperor with sad and regretful eyes.
"Sigh, Davon is a man. A man with a broken leg also has needs," Tanya advised gently.
"Who is in charge of the Golden Robes now?" Cersei asked with a gloomy face.
"Without your order, the position of garrison is empty," Tanya said solemnly.
Cersei heard this and her expression became better.
She pointed at the Son of War who scolded her and said angrily, "Now, I order to take down this bastard who looks down on the king."
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that is not possible!" Tanya hurriedly pulled Cersei into the inner chamber, and then said worriedly, "The Long Night is coming, and the hundreds of thousands of people and nobles in the King's Landing are starting to miss the Savior of the Long Night, the Sparrow.
They all said that it was your fault for causing the seven nations to lose their Holy Son to resist the Long Night. "
"You Lun told me that the night had just begun. How did everyone in King's Landing know about it?" Cersei glared at him. "Who leaked the news? Were they all fools?
We should keep it a secret from those lowly people. It's best if they don't know why they died. Only then can we calmly stock up on food in the Red Castle! "
Well, Cersei was of one mind with all the kings and archons of all the world when it came to measures for the Long Night.
Every capitalist has a different personality, different business projects and different theories, but their ideas and means of exploiting the proletariat are exactly the same.
It seemed reasonable to replace the capitalists with the kings and the proletariat with the common people.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Tanya sincerely praised Cersei the Great. Then she shook her head and said, "We can't hide it anymore. The Holy Mother has shown up. Many monks in the seven kingdoms received the oracle when they were doing morning prayers yesterday. The sun has gone out and the night has come."
"Are you sure?" Cersei asked suspiciously. "I also did morning prayers yesterday. Why didn't the Holy Mother tell me?"
Seeing that the Great Emperor of All Eternity was serious and did not look like he was joking, Tanya's thick and dark lips moved a few times. "Maybe … Maybe … Maybe Your Majesty's Little Sanctuary is too small to accommodate the Holy Mother's magnificent body?"
The chamberlain groaned inwardly.
Don't you have any self-awareness? You burned the Holy Son appointed by the Holy Mother to ashes, and you still dare to hope to see the Holy Mother?
If the Holy Mother really comes to you one day, are you sure she won't immediately turn into a stranger and take you, the blasphemer, away?
"Sigh, I also think that the Little Sanctuary is a bit small." Cersei sighed and complained, "It's fine if the Holy Mother didn't inform me, but why did she tell those Gray Sparrows?"
"What does the lowly people know that the Long Night has come have to do with me punishing that poor knight?" Cersei quickly remembered the Son of War who had scolded her earlier.
"Since they know that the Long Night is real, the people and nobles of the seven kingdoms will naturally start to miss the Great Sparrow. After all, the Great Sparrow is the 'Savior to end the Long Night' appointed by the Holy Mother.
Now, because of Your Majesty's mistake, the Savior has died tragically before the Long Night. Can everyone … not misunderstand you? "
Cersei's face paled as she recalled the parade outside the Red Castle that had not dispersed since morning, and their slogan that she should go to the seven levels of hell …
She didn't misunderstand. They must hate her to the core.
The people of the King's Landing hated her. The people of the seven kingdoms who received the news of the Long Night would hate her …
The Emperor of Eternity suddenly understood.
Tanya of Myr lowered her eyes and continued, "So, the church decided to punish you. The Sons of War in the living room are here to watch over you. They are not to be offended."
"What punishment?" Cersei asked with a straight face.
"Before the Long Night ends, you are not to leave the Queen's Tower. You are not to hold extravagant banquets. You are not to wear fancy clothes. You are not to participate in the politics of the seven kingdoms. You are not to …"
"Enough!" The Emperor of Eternity's face contorted as he roared, "Where is my prime minister? Where are the ministers of the Imperial Council? Did they agree with the church to imprison the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms? "
"In fact, it was the ministers who saw the anger of the people of the King's Landing. In order to appease the people, they collectively passed a resolution to invite the church —"
Slap!
Before Tanya of Myr could finish, Cersei slapped her angrily.
"Eat sh * t!" Cersei's eyes were spitting fire as she cursed, "As my chamberlain, you attended the Imperial Council for me and conveyed my orders. How could you allow the Deviants to pass a resolution?"
Myr Tanya covered her red and swollen cheek and said in grievance, "The chamberlain is useless in the Westeros! I objected, but they all ignored me. "
"Gather my Lion Helmet Army and Golden Robes. I have had enough.
They are going to destroy the Westeros!
Without me to govern the country, what will happen to the court?
I am leaving this place today. I am going to the King's Landing court. I am going to sit on the Iron Throne and exercise the power of a queen!
The long night is coming. Without me to strategize, how can the people survive to the next summer? "Cersei waved her hands and shouted in agitation.
"I am afraid not …" The chamberlain's face contorted as he shook his head gently.
"My army is in control of the King's Landing! What is there not to do? "
"Your Majesty, Sir Davon has just died. The morale of the army is not stable. It is not good to make a big move!"
"Good, good, good!" The Emperor of Eternity took a few quick breaths and glanced at his trusted aide coldly. "Send a letter to Sir Damien Lannister. I want to invite him to the King's Landing to be the Minister of Justice."
Damien was Cersei's uncle, the current acting castellan of Casterly Rock City. He was Lannister's "old hero" who was of the same generation as Tywin and Kevon.
"Your Majesty, Casterly Rock City is a thousand miles away from the King's Landing … Actually, there is another honorable earl who is more suitable for the position of Minister of Justice," Tanya said gently.
"Who? Your husband, Earl Orton? "Cersei mocked.
Tanya's husband, Orton Marravis, was the Earl of the Long Table.
After Tywin's death, Cersei promoted Orton to be her Hand of the King when she was regent.
But after Cersei was imprisoned by the church, Earl Orton immediately resigned and fled back to the Long Table with Tanya, abandoning the Queen Regent.
When Cersei was crowned as the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms by Archbishop John, Tanya became her chamberlain. But Orton was hated by the Emperor of Eternity and did not get any position in the court.
"No, the Lion Helmet Army can only be led by Lannister." Tanya shook her head.
Cersei heard this and her expression became better.
"There are still many Lannister with outstanding military abilities in the Lion Helmet Army, but they do not have the political skills to deal with the courtiers. It will be difficult for them to take on the important role!"
The Emperor of Eternity sighed. He hated that he did not know how to clone himself. Otherwise, he would have arranged for a clone to personally lead the Lion Army.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten about Earl Titus Pegg?" Tanya reminded.
"That guy …" Cersei bit her red lips and hesitated.
"I trusted him so much and let him guard Dragonstone Island, but he did not even last a day," she said unhappily.
Earl Pegg was the guard of Dragonstone Island and was captured by the Dragon Queen herself. She even asked for a terrifying ransom of five thousand gold royals — ten times more than the market price of Jaime Lannister!
"That was an accident. The Dragon Queen has a dragon!" Tanya advised, "Also, Earl Pegg is the son-in-law of the Lannister Family. He is trustworthy!"
"Let me think …" Cersei hesitated.
"Time's up."
Four Sons of War and four crude old nuns suddenly barged into the inner chamber of the Queen's Palace and announced loudly to Cersei.
"Cersei Lannister, according to the resolution passed by the Church and the Council Ministers, you can only see guests once every seven days. Every time you see guests, it must be between morning and afternoon prayers.
It is now time for afternoon prayers. Madam Tanya, please leave immediately. Do not delay the sinner's confession to the Seven Gods. "
"Sinner?" Cersei felt a surge of anger from the steel door to her throat. She spat out fragrant words. "You lowly bastards, do you know who you are talking to? This is the Red Keep, my territory. Here — Wuuuu — "
The old nun took a step forward and pulled out a dirty towel from her waist and covered Cersei's face.
.....
The Great Wall.
Crow's Nest Balcony.
Perestan wanted to glue his eyeballs onto the telescope lens.
"Baelin, Baelin, come over and take a look. Has the sun in the sky disappeared?"
"Vinegar" Baelin was originally hiding by the fireplace and pretending to be dead. Hearing this, he stuck his head out of the sheepskin blanket and casually looked out of the window.
The sky was dark and gloomy. The sky was like a thick pot lid that was about to fall on a person's head.
"Perestan, I really admire you. You can see a ghost's sun in this kind of weather!" Vinegar Baelin said sarcastically.
"I could see a white circle of light earlier. Now it is completely dark. Something is wrong," Perestan said solemnly.
"Winter is like this outside the Great Wall. Don't make a fuss," Baelin said impatiently.
"What kind of attitude is that?" A hint of anger flashed in the red-nosed old professor's eyes. "Baelin, is the parade in the King's Landing not enough to wake you up?"
Er, Baelin was the first batch of professors to be paraded. After that, he was loaded into the transport ship along with the Dragonstone Island's Dragon Crystal weapons and transported to the Great Wall.
The other professors were assigned to a small castle with a harsh environment. Only Vinegar Baelin had some friendship with Perestan. That was why he was able to stay in the Dark Castle to 'enjoy life'.
"You still have the cheek to talk about parading?" Baelin was angry too. He stood up abruptly and pointed at Perestan's red nose. He scolded, "If you did not betray the City of Knowledge, would I be on the list of 'sinners' who saw the ghost? If I did not get captured by the bounty hunters, would I have suffered such humiliation? "
"Woo woo woo —" Suddenly, a ghostly howl came from the east.
"Ka, ka ka —" Across the window, a crisp cracking sound came from the Great Wall of Ice Crystal.
"That is …" Baelin's pupils contracted. He said in a daze, "What happened? Am I seeing things? The Great Wall is cracking? "
