Chapter 0268 - Breaking into the Palace

Inside the throne hall, it is time to deal with the people's petitions.

In the morning, the imperial ministers were all in the hall.

Littlefinger, Octopus, Grand Master Paisel, Genos Slowt, the Six Kingsguards, the royal courtiers, and the ladies are all in the throne hall.

Joffrey I sat on the Iron Throne with a crown on his head. On the left side of the crown is a decoration carved in gold is a stag, and on the right is a lion. His clothes are also newly custom-made royal clothes, with a row of buck motifs embroidered on the left side of the dress and a row of golden lions embroidered on the right.

The buck represents the Baratheon family, and the golden lion represents the Lannisters.

As soon as the morning came, the Queen Mother Cersei stood beside the Iron Throne, and from time to time whispered her opinion to the young king in response to the petitions of the people.

Former magistrate Ilyin Pine stands on the left side of the Iron Throne with his two-handed heavy sword on his back. On the right stood a larger, more ruthless hound than him, with a long sword in armor and a frightening burn on the burned half of his face. He did not wear a hideous dog helmet in the throne hall.

Behind the Iron Throne, in the shape of a half-moon, is a group of twenty red-robed warriors from the Western Realms, led by Hound Dogs.

At the foot of the seven steps of the Iron Throne stood six Kingsguards, still led by the fearless Ser Barristan Sermi.

Sansa Stark stood among the many courtiers and ladies and gentlemen, and she looked at Joffrey I on the Iron Throne without squinting. Joffrey, who is blonde, good-looking, and handsome, tells Sansa that she is not allowed to look around or look at the ground while he is on the Iron Throne, and that he wants Sansa to look at him the whole time, or he will punish Sansa for her disrespect and punish Ed for rebellion.

Sansa stood among the ladies of the court, her eyes unsquinting, as stiff as a piece of wood.

Beside her, the eyes of ladies and ladies swept over her, and Sansa could feel the malice in those eyes without looking.

Sansa witnesses the corpse of Sister Modan, who has never offended anyone in her life, and has had her head cut off and blood staining the ground...... When Sansa and Jenny were taken away from the Prime Minister's Tower by the hounds together, they witnessed too much blood along the way, and the servants, masters, and guards who had grown up with her all fell in pools of blood, including some very kind women.

My father also became a prisoner in the blink of an eye from the prime minister, and committed the crime of rebellion.

Sansa really didn't understand why the beautiful and kind queen Cersei didn't believe her words, her father wouldn't rebel, there must have been some misunderstanding in this. She assures Queen Cersei that she knows her father, and she swears to Queen Cersei with the Seven Gods and family honor and kneels down to intercede for her father, but the Queen does not believe her at all.

Sansa remembered that the night after her father Eddard had told her to send her back to King's Landing, she had secretly run to tell Queen Cersei that she hoped that Queen Cersei would come forward and convince her father not to send her back to Winterfell, that she belonged here, that she was the future queen. She swore in front of Queen Cersei that she would be as virtuous as Cersei, that she would not return to Winterfell, that she would accompany her beloved Joffrey, and that she would marry him when the moon came, and bear him many children.

Queen Cersei praised her for her decision and wisdom, and the queen said that she would find a way to keep Sansa in King's Landing and not let her be sent back to Winterfell by her father. Sansa is full of gratitude to the Queen. Then, as expected, she stayed, and moved into the Maigar House like Queen Cersei. She is accompanied by Jenny Poole, but Jenny Poole only cries every day, and Sansa has to hold back her tears to comfort her.

Every day, Sansa has to be dressed up by the lady-in-waiting arranged by the current Queen Mother Cersei to come to the court to listen to King Joffrey I deal with the people's petitions.

Sansa looked at Joffrey I intently, much to the satisfaction of Joffrey, who had been watching her reaction. Sansa is his fiancΓ©e, and he needs a completely obedient wife, although Sansa's father is a rebel who wants to snatch his Iron Throne away, and is a heinous crime.

Joffrey had promised Sansa to spare her father's life on her knees and in tears last night, but only to appreciate the grateful smile on her tearful face. Joffrey I had made up his mind to kill Eddard. It's not that he wasn't merciful enough, it's that Ed dared to support Stannis Baratheon as king, which is an absolutely unforgivable sin, a great sin.

Today, according to the arrangements of the royal ministers in advance, Joffrey I will deal with a lot of popular petitions, and it will not be long before Joffrey can no longer concentrate, and he twists and turns on the Iron Throne, constantly changing his posture. Joffrey was so impatient that he began to look around, ignoring the petitions of the people kneeling below. Cersei had to answer the people's petitions on behalf of the king, and just when Joffrey was too bored, a guard came to report that the Magic Mountain had led the army into the city and was coming to the palace.

This lifted Joffrey's spirits!

Sandor Cregan the hunting dog is his dog, and the magic mountain is his grandfather's dog, both are dogs, but the dog of the magic mountain is more evil, and Joffrey likes the magic mountain to be his own dog.

Joffrey's eyes lit up on the Iron Throne: "The Magic Mountain is coming, my grandfather must have sent him to congratulate me on my accession to the Iron Throne, and he must have been sent in quickly." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The guard said.

But the guards were stopped by Queen Cersei, who ordered him to spy on the Magic Mountain first, to find out how many men and horses the Mountain had brought with it, how far it was from here, and how long it would take to get to the Red Keep. The Demon Mountain dared to come here, naturally on the orders of his father, but why didn't his father send a raven to inform him in advance?

This is something Cersei is very unhappy about. She is now the queen mother, and no matter how powerful her father is, he is also her vassal. Now that the Demon Mountain is so arrogant in relying on her father's name, Cersei is even more unhappy.

The guards agreed!

This made Joffrey I very unhappy, and he almost shouted at his mother, but he felt that this would damage the king's prestige, and in the stern gaze of his mother, Joffrey hated to choose to compromise for the time being, and suppressed the scolding that came to his mouth.

What does a woman know? Just like Sansa! But Cersei was his mother, and she wasn't like Sansa. Shortly after Joffrey sat on the Iron Throne, his mother was his biggest assistant in handling the people's petitions, and Joffrey decided to put up with her for the first time. Women are fools, including mothers, who have not yet figured out who is the king.

Joffrey I felt the need to remind his mother Cersei very seriously after the meeting: who is the king?!

Cersei said, "Scholar Paischer, have you received a letter from my father who sent the Demon Mountain to King's Landing?"

He was in charge of all correspondence with the royal family. He had a long and close relationship with Lord Tywin. If Duke Tywin has any moves, if it is related to the royal palace, he will write to Paisil first.

"Back to Her Majesty, I have not received a letter from Duke Tywin appointing the Magic Mountain to King's Landing. ”

Queen Cersei looked at Littlefinger, Varys, the eight-clawed spider, and the fearless Barristan Sermi, the captain of the Kingsguard, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Demon Mountain has suddenly led an army to King's Landing, and there is no letter from my father, what should we do? should we let him enter the palace, or order him to return to the West?"

With his little finger and neck straight, and his hair meticulously groomed, he sat at the table of the Imperial Minister, spinning a quill in his hand.

Littlefinger chose silence.

The octopus-clawed spider wrapped his hands in the wide sleeves of his robe, his chubby white face was covered with powder, and the white robe sprayed with a lot of perfume, his eyes were soft, but he looked down at the messy documents on the table, and he also chose to be silent.

Grand Master Paisil also kept his mouth shut.

Cersei looked at Barristan with gray hair.

Barristan stood up, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, Your Majesty the King, I think you can first order the Demon Mountain to come in, and let him explain clearly in front of the Iron Throne why he brought his troops here, whether it was on the orders of Duke Tywin, why he led the army into the city and broke into the palace? ”

The corners of Joffrey I's mouth turned up, revealing a contemptuous smile: "Sir Barristan, are you afraid of the Magic Mountain? He is my grandfather's vassal, and his soldiers are also my soldiers, the Magic Mountain is here, I bet that I have been ordered by my grandfather to congratulate me on my ascension to the throne, and I will appoint him as the Imperial Minister, responsible for protecting the safety of the royal family and the Red Keep." He looked at Sandor the hound, "I have a dog that, although very powerful, doesn't mind having another dog that is more vicious. ”

Sandor's face was visibly distorted.

"Your Majesty, according to the law, no army of vassals is allowed to enter the Red Keep without the orders of His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen Mother. ”

"Let the Magic Mountain in!" said the king, raising his voice, "he is a vicious dog of my grandfather's, what are you afraid of him? ”

The commander-in-chief of the King's Landing garrison, Genos Slint, looked at Queen Cersei, the Queen Mother nodded, and Genos stood up and said, "Your Majesty the King is wise, I will go to welcome the Demon Mountain into the palace." ”

"Go, Commander-in-Chief Genos, you are a knowledgeable and courageous commander of the garrison, and you have done an extraordinary job in capturing Eddard's traitors. Go and bring the Magic Mountain here, and I want him to kneel down to me. ”

Genos Slint said, "Yes, Your Majesty. ”

There was a commotion in the throne hall, and the former magistrate Ilin Pine and the Magic Mountain did not kneel when they saw King Robert, and King Robert was generous and did not care about these small sections, so he went with the two.

Soon after Joffrey I ascended the throne, he was about to kneel down when the Demon Mountain was about to see him, and I am afraid that the Demon Mountain would not listen. But seeing that the king is full of ambition and pride, I am afraid that he will definitely force the magic mountain to kneel.

That's not a good thing!

The door to the Red Keep slowly closed, before the Magic Mountain arrived with his team.

Commander-in-Chief Genos Slint stood on the wall.

He was accompanied by a group of golden-robed officers.

The Magic Mountain rode to the door on a tall horse.

He raised his head and looked at Genos's frog face, his gaze was like an awl, and Genos's heart jumped violently, and a sense of fear arose.

The Demon Mountain only glanced at him, and Genos's courage was shattered.

"Open the door!" said Berry Dondelien, who was beside the Magic Mountain, "I am the courtier of the former King Robert, and I have been ordered by Prime Minister Ed to go out on official business, and I have returned on the orders of the scouts sent by His Majesty King Joffrey, and Lord Genos has closed the door of the Red Keep, is he refusing me to return to the palace to resume my life?"

"According to the laws of the state, no vassal may lead an army into the Red Keep unless ordered to do so by His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen Mother. His Majesty King Joffrey ordered Count Gregor to be seen in the throne hall, and the rest of the people waited outside the walls of the Red Keep. ”

The red-robed monk Soros was furious, staring at him without saying a word.

The Demon Mountain stared at Genos and shouted in a deep voice, "Open the door!"

The gates of the Red Keep slowly opened.

The magic mountain is too tall, and he is like a giant on a horse, and if he insists on not getting off the horse, he will not be able to enter from the small side door.

Berry Donderien and the red-robed monk Thoros were the first to enter, and the golden-robed men guarding the door did not dare to stop them when they saw that their faces were not good. These two are both imperial courtiers, and the golden-robed soldiers are not merciless in bullying civilians, and they are afraid when they meet this person.

Nor did they have a reason to prevent the two courtiers from entering.

The magic mountain slowly entered, and his two war horses carrying shields, throwing spears, heavy swords, and plate armor followed. Behind the horsetail, the adopted daughter Julie, the sharpshooter Angey, Captain Erin, Polivier, Sweetmouth Raff, Sir Ge**, the executioner, and the notepad followed.

Several golden-robed men who opened the door watched in amazement as these unkind-looking guys just broke in and broke into the palace.

The centurion at the gate looked up at Commander Genos Slynt on the city wall, waiting for him to give the order. In this way, as long as the golden robe draws his sword, the demon soldiers of Klegan will also draw his sword.

More than 500 cavalry were much stronger than the golden-robed men guarding the Red Fort. The fighting power of King's Landing's golden robes is still weaker than that of the garrison of Lannisport. These pampered guys can't compete with a bunch of blood-licking bandits.

The 2,000 garrisons of King's Landing are scattered at the gates of the seven major cities of King's Landing, and the garrison in the Red Keep is not very large, and the garrison barracks are also stationed at the Iron Gate and the Dragon Gate.

The red-robed army of the Western Frontier, which came in under the banner of Duke Tywin, already put a strong pressure on the gold-robed people.

The daughter of Duke Tywin was Queen Cersei, and Joffrey I was his grandson. And the Magic Mountain is Duke Tywin's fierce general, the most vicious of dogs.

Now, news is coming that Stannis Baratheon is recruiting troops on Dragonstone, Blue Baratheon is raising the flag of rebellion at Storm's End, and Robb Stark in the north is openly gathering his vassals to prepare to go south. At this extraordinary moment, the Magic Mountain suddenly entered King's Landing under the banner of Duke Tywin and the Clegon family, apparently in support of Queen Cersei and Joffrey I.

It's just that there is a problem with this, that is, Queen Cersei, Prince Joffrey, and the royal ministers don't know about the arrival of the Magic Mountain.

The Red Keep was the center of power for the royal family and important ministers, as well as the king's palace, and it was always forbidden for vassals to enter with their armies without any summons.

And the Magic Mountain has set a very bad precedent!

Genos watched the Demon Mountain enter the Red Keep unhurriedly and unhurriedly with more than five hundred Cregan cavalry, and he swallowed back the words that poured into his mouth, even if he gave the order, he could not stop the forced entry of the Demon Mountain group.

Although the Demon Mountain is bold, he does not dare to openly defy the law and lead the army to break into the Red Keep, unless he has the support of the big people behind him. The man who supported him was obviously the owner of the Golden Lion Banner: Duke Tywin Lannister.

Although Genos is ugly, with a frog face and frog eyes, he is not stupid. Demon Mountain led more than 500 cavalry to dare to openly enter the palace Red Fort, not afraid of the golden robe and the royal forest guard, if you want to say that no one supports him behind his back, he will not believe it if he kills Genos.

I just don't understand why, Duke Tywin sent the Demon Mountain into the palace this time, and he didn't even know Cersei and the royal ministers.

Is it disdainful?or is it for some other purpose?Or is the Duke of Tywin going to be the king?

Genos hurriedly came down the city wall, jumped on his horse, and rushed to the side of the Magic Mountain: "Count Gregor, please let me take you to the throne hall to meet Queen Cersei and His Majesty King Joffrey. ”

"Get out!" said Demon Mountain coldly.

The voice of the magic mountain is not loud, but it is definitely full of awe-inspiring murderous aura!

Genos Slint froze suddenly, as if a whip had been whipped on him.

Several centurions beside him had angry faces, this was the palace, not the western realm. The status and power of the golden robe here is definitely far above the red-robed soldiers in the Demon Mountain Belt.

It's just that the magic mountain stared at a few centurions, and none of the centurions dared to speak: dare to be angry but not speak!

Demon Mountain snorted, and the war horse slowly walked up, and the soldiers behind him followed, leaving Genos and the others aside.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the Red Fort.

More than 500 cavalry, more than 150 reserve cavalry, and about 1,500 war horses entered the Red Fort.

In the throne hall, Queen Cersei next to the Iron Throne heard the sound of horses' hooves, her face became ugly, her father Tywin was too much, she was currently his queen mother, how could my father let his vicious dog break into King's Landing's palace like this? Who is the king? Who is the minister? Isn't this about to start messing around?
