Chapter 0632 Rees's Tears: The Old Grandfather Next Door
() Cersei's head is slightly tilted back, and she is beautiful and full of charm.
"Jaime, the Golden Dragon, Silver Deer, and Bronze Star, who do you think the Magic Mountain will keep in its possession?"
Jaime choked, then snorted. He knew the strength of the Magic Mountain, and even more so the status of the Great Sanctuary of Baylor in the Seven Kingdoms. The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, whoever dares to desecrate the Great Sanctuary of Baylor, where the most revered gods of the Seven Kingdoms reside.
The school town of the Old Town has the right to arrange a great teacher for the king, but the status of the Baelor Chapel is still above the school city. Marriages and funerals in the royal family must be held in the Basilica of Baylor, and the king's accession to the throne, the conferment of the Iron Guard, the proclamation of important matters of the kingdom's affairs, and even the beheading of criminals of high status must be declared to God in the presence of the archbishop of the Basilica in order to have legal effect.
The Basilica of Baylor represents God Himself. In the hearts of the people and the nobility, and especially in the hearts of the faithful, it was the place of supremacy.
Jaime suddenly realized that the bank opened by the Magic Mountain to collect money had tied up the Baelor Great Sanctuary.
Why didn't you think this arrangement was ingenious beforehand? With the support of the Great Basil of Baylor, the credibility of the paper money was naturally higher than that of the royal family.
It's just that from the law, the magic mountain needs to get the king's permission. The king is still young, so he needs the permission of the regent. Cersei is the regent.
Jaime looked at Cersei, the self-esteemed regent who fascinated him and couldn't help himself, and the magic mountain, before doing every incredible thing, had he actually secretly ventilated Cersei?
Is he controlling Cersei in some secret way?
A cold sweat broke out on Jaime's back.
He looked at Cersei's proud expression, and he knew that if he warned Cersei to be careful of the Magic Mountain, Cersei would definitely look down on him even more.
Cersei's contempt for Jaime begins to externalize, and Jaime knows why, and Cersei wants him to give up the Kingsguard and remove Mestiril from the position of Hand of the King. Then bargain with the Magic Mountain, be the guardian of the western border, and inherit his father's dukedom.
But Jaime had no interest in political struggle, in power, or in making money through trade.
Jaime shrugged his shoulders, "Well, as long as we have interest, of course the coins will be kept in the bank." β
"The coins will be kept in the Basilica of Baylor, but the royal family has the right to send people into the bank to do things, and also has the right to send their own people into the gold reserve to manage the accounts. β
"Is this what the Magic Mountain said?"
"Yes, Magic Mountain suggested it to me. β
"If we do, it seems like we don't have to worry about anything at all, we just have to wait to make money. β
"Yes, Magic Mountain has thought of everything in order to reassure the royal family. β
"Everything!" was the word that made Jaime's heart skip another beat.
How does the magic mountain arrange everything?
"Isn't it good for Magic Mountain to do this? If you don't think it's good, I can refuse. Cersei said, staring at Jaime.
Jaime could tell that this was Cersei's retort, and Cersei would not refuse the Magic Mountain. She's saying that on purpose.
"Then let's refuse. β
"It's easy to refuse, so who's going to settle our treasury revenues? Let the Tyrells pay for the grain? Mestirell is already complaining, he thinks King's Landing should be able to pay for the treasury through trade, farming, and taxes, instead of relying on the never-ending delivery of grain into the city by the Bendlands. β
"Let Margaret Tyrell and Tomman Baratheon get married, if you keep delaying like this, the Tyrells will definitely have complaints. β
"Margaery wants to control Tomman, can't you see it?"
"She's Tommen's fiancΓ©e, Cersei. Margaery is good to Tommen, and Tomman is willing to be with her, which is what we should support. β
"No, I can't allow a second Kaivon. β
"You're thinking too much, Margaery has no ambitions. She won't be the second Kai Feng. β
Cersei stared at Jaime for a moment, "Would you like a drink?"
She was tired of talking to me about court affairs, and she was tired of talking to me about family affairs. Jaime felt the thorn in his heart stab deep into his heart and stab another point.
"Cersei, if we want the support of the Tyrells, we need to support Tomman and Margaery's marriage. β
"I'm supporting!"
"But you didn't answer the timing of the Tyrells' wedding. β
"I want to choose a good day. When the good days came, the Archbishop of the Great Chapel of Baylor would naturally inform me in advance. β
This is a superficial pretext that no one believes anymore. Time has pierced Cersei's mask.
"Give it to me!" Jaime held out his hand to Cersei, "let me pour you a drink." β
Cersei smiled softly and handed the glass to Jaime.
Jaime poured Cersei wine and said softly, "Cersei, if you set a time for Tomman and Margaery's wedding, I will support you to take a stake in Baylor Bank and vote for the Magic Mountain." If Mace is the opposite, I'm in charge of convincing him. Both the royal family and the kingdom need to be settled, and we can't afford to toss within ourselves anymore. The regent and the prime minister infighting, the queen mother and the future queen infighting, family affairs and state affairs cannot be handled well. Calm down, okay?"
Cersei took the wine and turned around to Jaime to taste the wine, she knew that if she could not break the engagement, the only way to do it was to have a wedding, the Tyrells had already expressed irritation and hostility towards the delay, and the conflict was invisibly breeding in the palace, but the thought of the intimacy between Margaery and Tommen made her jealous and intolerable.
Yesterday, at the dinner table, Tommen openly disagreed with her and reminded Cersei that he was the king. This tingles Cersei's heart, and she is reminded of Joffrey, whose favorite phrase is 'I am the king', and then he was poisoned by Oberon Martell at his wedding.
When Tommen said this, a great sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Cersei's heart, like a clear sky suddenly covered with dark clouds. She caught a flash of joy in Margaery's eyes, which made her want to gouge out Margaery's eyes on the spot, but she sat stiff and did nothing. Margaery pretended to ask Tommen to apologize to her, much to Cersei's annoyance, because Tommen had actually listened to Margaery's words and apologized to her.
Tommen listens to Margaery, much to Cersei's end.
"Well, Jaime, I promise you, you go to the Basilica of Baylor and confirm with the Archbishop on the day of the wedding, and then you go and tell the Tyrells to get ready. β
"Yes, Cersei!" Jaime said softly. I breathed a long sigh of relief in my heart.
Cersei was relieved when she finally relented. The Tyrells had threatened not to send food to King's Landing again, and Cersei relented before the tension escalated further.
"I'm going to shave, take a shower, and I'll be with you at night. β
Cersei's mouth was filled with bitterness, she turned around and looked at the vicissitudes of life Jaime with a bright smile: "Okay, I'll wait for you in the bedroom." β
Jaime departed, Cersei motionless, her eyes staring somewhere in the air, her sense of the threat to Margaery, the woman, scheming, snatching Tomenan Baratheon away from her. Cersei could not tolerate Margaery taking Tomman away, Tommen was her son, and Margaery could only serve Tommen, but could not control Toman and command Tomman, Tomman could only listen to her mother, and she could never just listen to another woman.
The hateful Tyrells, the lame Villas Tyrell, are trying to marry her by force, and Little Rose is plotting to snatch Tommen away from her.
Who can help her? Who is the Tyrells most afraid of? Who is the best knife to use? Who is a feared villain: the Magic Mountain!
The mighty image of the Magic Mountain was displayed in front of Cersei, and the eyes of the Magic Mountain made the enemy cold, and he was looking at Cersei at this time, respectfully: "Magic Mountain, I want you to kill Margaret Tyrell for me, she is the second Kai Feng, you have already killed a Kai Feng, then kill another Kai Feng." β
"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen Mother. The Magic Mountain spoke.
"How are you going to kill Margaery?"
"The best means, of course, is to use Reese's Tears, colorless, tasteless, and silent. When you die, you will not have bloodshot eyes, hands scratching your throat, green tendons coming out, and when you are poisoned, you will be silently suffocated, and the surface of the person will look as if you are asleep. The Magic Mountain in the Void said.
"Good idea. β
"Reese's Tears is very expensive, not a person with royal power and wealth, and he can't afford it at all, does Her Majesty the Queen Mother have a way?"
Cersei nodded slightly.
"I have lived in the palace for eighteen years, and I know who to go to in the city to buy Reese's Tears. β
"Oh, who is that man?" asked the Magic Mountain.
"The man was a sorcerer, and he had a close relationship with the fire magician and the wise......"
........................
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother. A voice sounded abruptly and timidly.
The voice, though soft, was like a thunderbolt, pulling Cersei back to reality from her own babbling fantasy, and the magic mountain in front of her was like a bubble, silently shattering, dissipating, and disappearing without a trace. Cersei settles her mind and returns to her sanity in reality.
"Why didn't you knock when you came in?" Cersei said lightly.
The maid knelt down, her body and voice trembled: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, the slave knocked on the door, but there was no response from Her Majesty the Queen Mother, the slave was afraid that Her Majesty the Queen Mother needed us, so we discussed it outside for a while, and decided to let me come in to see what Her Majesty the Queen Mother needed." β
"I will serve, and I will call you naturally. Did you hear anything when you came in?"
"The slave heard nothing, Her Majesty the Queen Mother. The maid kowtowed, and was sincerely afraid.
Cersei frowned slightly: "Get up, help me out." β
"Yes. The maid stood up, her eyes on the ground, trembling, and came over to hold Cersei's arm.
Walking out of the Queen Mother's dance hall, there were a total of five maids outside, two of which were well-behaved and well-informed courtesy maids given to Her Majesty by Margaret Tyrell.
A group of maids surrounded the Queen Mother and slowly walked into the bedroom.
Cersei said, "Kaye, go and ask Master Coben to come over, I have something to look for him." β
"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen Mother. A maid bowed back, and after a few steps of retreat, she turned to leave, her head bowed slightly, looking at the ground.
"Go out, you don't have to wait outside tonight. They all went back to their rooms to rest. Don't talk to each other anymore. Be quiet. β
"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen Mother. The maids agreed, and they came out, shut their mouths, and went back to their bedrooms to rest.
After a few moments, there was a knock at the door, and Cersei opened it, and it was Jaime who had shaved his beard clean, and had a new golden armor, a new golden sword belt, and his golden sword still hung from the sword belt.
Jaime's spirit has changed, and there is still a trace of shadow hidden in his eyes from the vicissitudes of life, and the handsome and chic and charming talent is his true nature.
This is the James who fascinates Cersei!
"I told you not to wear armor. β
"I'm a Kingsguard, and I don't wear armor, so I'm afraid it's suspicious. β
"Are you scared?"
Jaime was slightly embarrassed, not knowing how to answer. Naturally, he is not afraid, but his words are terrifying. The Lannisters' honor is shattered, and it's always good to avoid it. Jaime wants to steal food in a low-key manner, but Cersei grows more and more bold. If Duke Tywin is still around, he can still restrain Cersei's actions. As soon as Tywin is gone, and as soon as Kaivon is dead, only Cersei herself can be restrained now.
Cersei hugged Jaime violently, she had waited too long for him to come back to the bedroom, and the two of them had long lines together, unable to separate for a long time, until there was another knock on the door. Jaime's movements immediately stiffened, but Cersei didn't care, taking two steps back, straightening her makeup, straightening her hair, and smoothing out her crumpled clothes: "Open the door, my guard." β
Jaime took a deep breath, brushed his blonde hair with his fingers, quickly regained his grim expression, and slowly opened the door.
Standing outside the door was a smiling teacher of the Great Country.
Cobain smiled and nodded at Sir James, as if he had said hello: "Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"
"Great Master, do you still need people in your underground medical room?"
"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen Mother. Cobain's old eyes immediately sparkled.
"I have a maid named Snostasy, you know her, don't you?"
"Yes!"
"I gave her to you, go and take her away now. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen Mother!" Coben was overjoyed.
When Jaime returned, he had heard of the great masters using living people for medical experiments in the basement, and the methods were cruel. Jaime also knew Snostasie, a young and dutiful maid at the Queen Mother's side. Tonight, when he and the Queen Mother were in the Queen Mother's ballroom, Snostasi and the five sisters were waiting outside the gate.
"What's going on?" Snostasie's matter?" Jaime asked in a deep voice.
"It's fine. Cersei replied.
"Good night, Your Majesty the Queen Mother. Goodbye, Sir Jaime. "Master Coben is so shrewd and discerning, he immediately took his leave and left.
"Wait a minute, National Master, you have to send a letter to the Demon Mountain tonight, telling the Demon Mountain that I want him to return to King's Landing as soon as possible, and I agreed to what he asked me for last time. β
"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen Mother. Cobain placed his right palm on his left chest and bowed his head slightly.
Cersei reached out and closed the door, and she curled towards the bedroom inside, "Jaime, the person you should be concerned about tonight is me, not Snostasy. "Before she could get to the bed, she was already naked.
Snostasi was the maid who entered the door of the Queen Mother's ballroom, and Cersei was indulging in her own dialogue fantasies. Among the maids around Cersei were the people sent by Margaery, and Margaery also had the maids sent by Cersei.
Cersei feared that if Snostasi heard her conversation, and accidentally leaked it to Margaery's maids, the consequences would be dire. She didn't hesitate, and immediately asked Cobain to take Snostasi away, and there was no trouble.
Jaime untied the strap and hung it on the hook on the wall, took off the golden armor, and threw it on the carpet, "Cersei, what's wrong with Snostasie, why did you suddenly give her to Maester Coben." β
"Jaime, if you say one more word of Snostasy, I'll cut out your tongue. β
"Really?" Jaime strode to the bedroom, quickly stripping himself naked, "I can't wait for you to cut out my tongue." β
Cobain knocked on Snostassy's door and smiled kindly: "Snostassy, Her Majesty the Queen Mother has handed you over to me, come with me, and rest in a different place tonight." You'll find it pleasant, I promise!"
Snostasi's whole body suddenly stiffened like a wooden chicken, her eyes were full of horror, as if she was facing a terrible demon from hell, fear grabbed her heart, her body, her soul, she wanted to scream, but she couldn't speak, she wanted to escape, but she couldn't move......
"Let's go, baby, it's getting late, and I'm going back to the Bachelor's Tower to deliver a raven letter to Lord Magic Mountain!" said Master Coben kindly.
No matter how you look at it, Cobain is a respectable, modest, courteous, kind, and caring grandfather next door.
