Chapter 8: The Red Hand Demon

Although it was only an unexpected situation caused by the ghost hand, when Lin Yi took a step back, gave up the original goal of rescuing Eddard, and changed the goal to kill Joffrey, he found that the maneuverable space had actually become much larger.

So, after a short period of thought, Lin Yi judged this shot to be Targaryen's revenge.

First, he reveals his exotic face to Varys, delivering a very obvious message that the Kingkiller is not a Westeros.

Secondly, in medieval Westeros, where technology is only at best, killing a person at medium distance with a pistol is more like magic in their eyes.

It just so happened that when Lin Yi briefly opened the [Ancient Memory], he also glanced at Varys, and with Varys's unforgettable hatred for the wizard, he would inevitably be misled in this regard.

Coupled with the ghost hand he displayed in front of the golden-robed guard, and the evil aura that was not fake at all, at least the identity of the wizard should be decided.

And at this point in time, Daenerys's news should have been sent back.

This Targaryen's last remaining bloodline, married to the most powerful Drogo Kao, is Dothrak's most powerful Carrisie at the moment, and is so charismatic that even the undercover agents sent by Westeros have been rebelled by her.

It is not so incomprehensible that such a Targaryen descendant, who has unwittingly become a big man overseas, would find a powerful wizard to come to Westeros for revenge.

Even when Daenerys knew about it, she would definitely admit it, at this time, the dragon mother did not have the overall situation and interests in her immature thoughts, she just didn't want to disappoint the people who supported her.

And her short-lived brother had been saying before his death that there were still many pro-Targaryen forces in Westeros who were painting the Dragon Banner and waiting for the return of the King of Targaryen.

Cersei and Varys would also believe it, as the Mad King's bloodline is nothing to be surprised about, no matter what they do.

As for the consequences of killing Joffrey......

Tsk, it can't be worse anyway, right?

With Cersei's personality and style, it is impossible for her to give the throne to Stannis or Lanli, let alone to Robert's illegitimate son, and the next king must be Tolman.

Tomman was still a child, and he was a meek and shy Shota, and even if Cersei became the Queen Regent because of her young age, it would be no worse than the kingdom under Joffrey.

And so it is.

……

When the body of the Golden-robed Guardian was brought to the grief-stricken Cersei by Barristan, Cersei's eyes showed an unforgettable hatred.

"Tan! Case! Sharp! Quiet! ”

Cersei clung Joffrey's cold corpse in her arms and shouted the name through gritted teeth.

Her father, Tywin, was still fighting Robb, and her brother Jaime was on the front lines, and when Joffrey died, it was as if her last reliance had fallen, and she was left alone in King's Landing.

"Queen Mother."

Varys stepped forward cautiously and spoke softly.

"Varys!"

Cersei turned her head sharply and glared at Varys like an angry lioness, her once beautiful eyes now bloodshot.

"I know you're closely connected to the Free City-State, tell me who did it, Divine Punishment? I don't believe in divine punishment? What kind of God would punish my poor son, who is only 12 years old! ”

While it is true that this is not divine punishment, your son is not pitiful either......

Varys bent down slightly and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty's wound seems to have been shattered by an invisible air arrow, and the actual damage in the chest cavity is much greater than the wound on the surface, combined with the thunderous sound at the time, and the distance between the assassin and His Majesty, it should be caused by dark magic......"

Things actually went more smoothly than Lin Yi imagined - Cersei was reluctant to dissect Joffrey's body, and the bullet hidden in Joffrey's body was not found.

Coupled with the special structure of the square at that time, the sound of gunfire was amplified, and everyone thought that it was a powerful black magic.

"What about the Assassins?" Cersei asked, without looking up.

"The soldiers are still searching, according to my information, the assassin is a stranger from the East, he bought all the bread in stock in Flour Street, but no one knows where he hid the bread, maybe it has something to do with the ritual of magic, my people say that he is an exotic nobleman with delicate skin, and now it seems that he is probably a wizard......"

At this, Varys paused slightly, pointing to the corpse that was being held by two guards.

"This man has been in a state of extreme fear since he woke up, and died after a glance at the blood-colored three-headed dragon engraved on his belly, Maester Paisil said that he was scared to death, but he had been chanting the 'Red Hand Demon' and the 'Devil's Curse' before he died, so the true cause of his death is still up for debate......

"The Red Hand's Demon ......"

Cersei's eyes were red, and she quickly accepted the assumption.

She prefers to believe that her son has died at the curse of the devil rather than the punishment of the gods.

Looking at the angry Cersei, Varys weighed a moment or two and spoke carefully.

"News has come from the east, the little girl of the Targaryen is now Carissy of Dothrak, it is said that she is very fond of her husband Drogo Kao, and is now pregnant with the child of the king of horses, and with her current status, it is not difficult to entrust a wizard to come and take revenge, but ......"

Varys seemed hesitant.

"Just what ......"

Cersei said lightly.

"This wizard is too powerful......"

Varys sighed.

"Powerful?"

Cersei scoffed, her beautiful eyes full of hatred and sadness.

"If he is too strong to fight, why should he leave so quickly after killing my poor son?"

Maybe his target was only Joffrey, or maybe he didn't care......

Varys didn't believe that the owner of those eyes would be afraid of mere mortals, but he nodded in agreement with Cersei - smart people never try to reason with a woman in a rage.

"The second ...... Queen Mother, it seems that King Robert was also killed by him......"

Varys sighed.

Although Robert was not a wise man, when he was alive, no one in the Seven Kingdoms dared to have any crooked thoughts, and for a eunuch who cared about world peace, he could be regarded as one of the top three existences among the generations of emperors he assisted.

“……”

Hearing Varys's words, the corners of Cersei's eyes twitched, and she didn't say anything, and she couldn't say anything.

Only she and her father, Tywin, knew that Robert had been killed by their design, and even if he hadn't encountered a boar, he might have stumbled, encountered a viper, or missed an arrow.

The wizard didn't know this, but he knew no more than he had killed.

Therefore, judging from the object of Targaryen's hatred, Cersei thinks that the so-called first one in the message should be Eddard Stark, who has just ordered the beheading.

After all, according to the Golden-robed Guard, the wizard had been in that place long before Ed was beheaded.

He didn't attack and kill immediately, but waited until Ed was beheaded to kill Joffrey, and it seemed that he was happy to see it, whether in terms of his goal, process, or result, it was very much in line with the image of a Targaryen killer.

Seeing that Cersei was losing her mind, Varys sneered in her heart.

As the man who holds the most secrets of the country, he doesn't know that Robert was killed by the Lannisters.
