Chapter 245: Duel Judgment (I)

King's Landing is close to the sea, and whenever the monsoon blows, the moisture from the ocean will be carried to the mainland by the monsoon, so there is a torrential rain, and the heavy rain here is like a hole in the heavenly river.

The room darkened and the temperature gradually decreased.

Cersei shivered, but the good news was that she could drink water, and the rain drifted in from the dark, fist-sized window, and Cersei opened her mouth wide to block the small window.

After five days of finally drinking water, she greedily sucked it, and when the rain that drifted in began to wet her whole body, making her bumpy and graceful body stand out, she felt the cold again.

How dare they throw me here, without even a stove?

I'm their queen mother.

Cursing in her heart, she began to tear off her soaked robe.

In the corner of the shelf bed was a shabby brown wool blanket, ugly and prickly, but it was her only cover.

So Cersei wrapped herself tightly and fell asleep soon exhausted.

A thick hand shook her awake.

The room was as black as asphalt, and a tall, ugly woman knelt in front of her, holding a candle.

"Who are you?" Cersei was awakened by the light, and her eyes suddenly opened.

She questioned the tall and ugly nun in front of her, "Are you here to let me go?"

"I am Sister Unia, and I have come to hear you confess to murder and adultery. ”

Cersei waved her hand away, "I'll cut off your head." Don't touch me!

The nun got up, "I'll be back in an hour, maybe then you'll be repentant." ”

Hour after hour, Cersei Lannister spent the longest night of her life except for Joffrey's wedding reception.

The room was as cold as an ice cave.

Because she had broken the night pot earlier, she had to crouch in the corner to urinate and watch the urine run sideways on the floor.

Every time she closed her eyes, Unia would be loomed in front of her, shaking her awake and asking her to repent of her sins.

Later, Sister Moeller brought a bowl of dusty gruel. Cersei picked up the bowl and threw it at the nun's head.

However, they brought new gray robes, which, though thin and moldy, she hastened to put on to cover her nakedness.

In the evening, when Sister Mole returned again, she ate the bread and fish of the other party, and asked for red wine to accompany the meal.

There was no red wine, only Sister Unia reappeared, hour after hour asking her if she would like to repent.

"Don't try to frame me and let me go, or when I get out, someone will have to demolish this broken church. ”

Cersei hugged herself tightly, unable to sleep, she looked out the narrow window of the rain, the sky turned dark, and begged for someone to rush into the church to save her.

She did not believe that her son, as a king, would not save his mother.

What is the Imperial Council doing?

They are traitors and cowards. When I go out, I will behead them all, and find someone more sensible to replace them.

As a result of the ugly nun's constant torment, Cersei had become accustomed to not going to sleep.

In her mental malaise, she noticed that the sky outside her window was gradually brightening.

A new day has arrived, and the ice and rain have stopped.

Cersei slowly stood up, faintly hearing shouts of joy from someone in the plaza below.

The people of the square were shouting the names of the sparrow and the seven gods.

These damn fanatics are starting to assemble again.

Cersei thought so, and the door in front of her suddenly opened, and she thought it was the ugly nun again. But what came was a familiar figure, and the new Imperial Minister Coben, who had been promoted by her, walked in.

Cersei's body shook uncontrollably, and she resisted the urge to not pounce on him.

"Cobain," she whispered, "oh, the gods are above, and you don't know how happy I am to see your face. Take me home. ”

"I can't do it. You will attend a church trial on charges of murder, treason, and adultery. ”

To an exhausted Cersei, these charges seemed meaningless," Tommen. What about my son? Is he still king?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. He was healthy, safe and secure in the Maeg Tower, under the protection of the Kingsguard. Yet he was lonely and anxious. He asked about you, but the Sparrow Church controls King's Landing except for the Red Keep......"

"Where's the golden robes of the capital guards?"

"I'm hiding in the barracks for the time being. ”

"What about Adam Malbran, the commander of the Capital Guard, he was the cavalry captain of my father Tywin, he swore allegiance to the Lannisters, and now a Lannister is imprisoned by the Zeatic Church, but he is hiding with a golden robe, my father knows all this, he will definitely whip him severely, by the way, after all this time, my father must have known what happened to King's Landing, didn't he return to King's Landing?"

"Lord Tywin has not yet arrived in King's Landing, and it is said that the gates are already under the control of the Church forces, and I don't think Lord Tywin's army will be able to easily break through King's Landing gates. ”

Cersei's sleepy nerves were numb, what kind of sin had I done, and I had promised to rearm the church.

"What about my knights? Osfrey Kate Black, yes, his brother Osney wants to frame me, and you let Osfly Kate Black go to him and keep him from falling for the tricks of the Sparrows. ”

"Osvery Kate Black had his legs broken by order of His Majesty the King for dereliction of duty, and now it is Humphrey Wick who has taken his place. ”

Cersei was too tired to think. "Why did Tommen do that?"

"You can't blame the kids. The Imperial Council put the order in front of him, and he simply signed it and stamped it. ”

"My Imperial Council...... Who did it? Who? It's not you, is it?"

"I'm sorry, I've also been stripped of my seat as a retainer by the Imperial Council, and at present, the real power of the kingdom is in the hands of Littlefinger Berry and Paisil National, oh, and that little Peel Rams Bolton from the north.

I sent a bird to Rossby and told him to send someone to inform the Duke of Tywin in Castle Rock to come back to preside over the situation, and Mace Tyrell is said to have returned to the High Court to raise troops to King's Landing to rescue his family's heir, Lalos, the Knight of the Hundred Flowers. However, the Tyrells have also claimed that you and the Sparrow conspired to frame a group of noble sons. ”

Cersei smiled wryly, "That cowardly Duke dares to gather an army?"

"The people of the High Court are forced to be anxious, the Knight of the Hundred Flowers is the only heir of his family, and they will never allow the heir to be tainted. ”

Cersei almost laughed out loud, "My father once taught me that bastard children and adopted sons are inherently capricious and treacherous, but unfortunately I didn't listen to him, but the most trusted minister around me happens to be Littlefinger, the adopted son of Riverrun, and the bastard of the Castle of Terror, Littleskin. God knows why I'm so stupid. ”

She shuddered. "I'm done, Cobain. ”

"No," Cobain stepped forward to take her hand, "there is still hope, the Queen Mother can prove her innocence through a martial arts trial." My Queen Mother, your acting knight is ready, and the heroes of the Seven Kingdoms cannot fight against it. All you need to do is give ...... order."

This time she finally smiled. It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous.

"The gods mock all our plans and hopes. I have an unstoppable Acting Knight, but I can't use him, and he's imprisoned in the North.

I am the Queen Mother, and my honor can only be maintained by the Guards of the Imperial Guard, who have sworn to serve me, and the knights of the Seven Kingdoms cannot fight for me. ”

"I understand. Cobain still had a smile on his face.

Cersei licked her lips and her body shook, "You know, what are you laughing at, do you think there is anyone else in the Kingsguard who can be trusted?"

"Queen Mother," said Cobain, "you...... Have you forgotten, I've been conducting interesting experiments in the lab, and Sir Osfrey Kate Black with a broken leg has found me before, and now he is not only so strong again, but stronger than ever, he has only been suspended from his duties but not stripped of his white robe, and he can be your acting knight. ”

Cersei hesitated a little, and Cobain persuaded: "You can also hear the voices outside, it is another rally, this is against you, they will accuse you of countless crimes, and finally force you to strip and march, please trust my science, Queen Mother." ”

At this moment someone opened the door, and Sister Unia walked in with a hateful expression, and instead of whipping Cersei, she said quietly, "It's time for judgment." ”
