Chapter 251: Sin Deserves It
No, the Lion would prefer to form an alliance with the Riverlands, a high court that has no intention of fighting for hegemony, and is more in the interests of the Lannisters.
The church has a motive to kill, but the church can't afford to fund it, and it is said that the House of Black and White takes over the assassination hire, and the requirements are very strict, one of which is that you have to pay a lot of commission equal to the annual income of a kingdom.
Obviously, the poor and insane churches today can't afford the money.
Lynn was puzzled by who hired the House of Black and White to assassinate the Queen of Thorns, and he took a deep look at Arya and found that she didn't seem to have a good face.
"How long are you going to stay in Westeros, if you can continue to be Arya Stark, to become a celebrity. ”
"Lynn, how do you know about the famous and the nameless in the House of Black and White?" Erya asked in some surprise, and then shook her head helplessly, "However, I just passed the trial, and now I am a nobody, no matter what you call me, Arya is just a false name now." ”
Lynn, who had slipped his mouth, didn't bother to explain these trivial matters, he stood up and held Arya's arm with both hands, for the second girl to fall so deeply, Lynn reminded: "When Jia Kun took you away, I told him, just to take you to study, so that you can master the power to avenge your family, that's all, you are not from the House of Black and White, you are the Stark of the North." Stay, Jia Kun still owes me two favors that I haven't repaid, now I don't want it, I've come to King's Landing, if you want to avenge your father, I will find a chance to fulfill you. ”
"I don't need anybody to do it. Arya stubbornly said, "I've learned a lot, and I'll solve them all on my assassination list myself." ”
"We are friends, I will help you, you are always weak alone. ”
Friend?
Arya suddenly remembered something, she held her head high, pouted and looked into Lynn's eyes, and said excitedly, "Now you are the guardian of the North, and the Stark family has long been forgotten, although I don't care about those false names, I just want revenge, and then be free." ”
After speaking, Er Ya dodged Lynn's palm and walked towards the drizzling courtyard.
Lynn asked, "Where are you going?"
Arya suddenly turned her head and pulled out the sewing needle hidden at her waist, "Don't move, Lynn. I'm grateful for what you've done before, and I promise that this assassination has nothing to do with Miss Tyrellle and that she won't be harmed. ”
Looking at the short blade of the sewing needle pointed at him from Haruka, Lynn could hardly believe his eyes, "What did the House of Black and White do to you so that your sword can be pointed at your friend?"
Lynn's excited questioning made Arya's eyes blur for a while, although her expression was still resolute, but after all, she slowly put down the short blade, she took two steps back, and said in an indifferent tone: "I won't hurt you, I'm just going to the Red Fort to save my sister." ”
"The gates of the Red Fort are closed, and you can't get in. ”
"I know, I've already investigated, and today it's going to be open temporarily, and there's a lion female going back to her cage. ”
After Arya finished speaking, she turned around and made a few light trot jumps, and disappeared above the wall of the courtyard.
Lynn chased into the thin rain curtain and shouted in the direction of the thin shadow's disappearance, "If you don't give me an explanation, I will personally go to Braavos to find the House of Black and White to ask for an explanation." ”
The drizzle fell from the sky, like cow's hair, like flower needles, filaments, densely woven diagonally. It quickly wet Lynn's shoulders.
A voice sounded in Lynn's ears, and the "intrepid" Barristan quietly appeared behind him and asked softly, "My lord, do you want to track it down?"
Lynn turned his head, and at the same time as he saw Lao Ba, he also saw several figures holding crossbows on the eaves of several corners of the wall of the courtyard.
"No need," Lynn was silent for a moment, then waved her hand to indicate that it was okay, "just prepare for the evening with all your might." ”
Baylor Cathedral.
Cersei is overjoyed to win the jousting trial and finally be able to return to the Red Keep, which she has long hoped to wear.
However, the Sparrow still convicted her on the grounds that her acting knight was a modified fake dead, much to Cersei's still a little uneasy.
It was disgraceful to use Bio Knight to win a match, but there was no precedent for it, and she didn't know what the Sparrow was going to do with her.
"Don't worry, I'll regain your freedom, and today you can go back to the soft silk bed of the Red Keep Palace to rest. ”
The Sparrow walked into the confinement chamber and slowly sat down on a four-legged bench, he looked at the Queen Mother Cersei, who was on her knees and pretended to pray to the portrait of the gods, and said slowly.
Cersei turned her back to the sparrow's face, a little excited when she heard it.
However, the Sparrow did not finish his words, and he continued: "You will be able to go back after atonement." ”
Cersei turned her head, her gaze instantly shifting from the idol to the sparrow's face.
Looking at his eerie smile, Cersei felt bad.
Soon, the Sparrow was gone, and the nuns came to the confinement chamber, leaving the door open completely, and they brought the expressionless Cersei to the baptismal room, shaved her head, and finally brought her to the people of King's Landing.
The sparrow came to the door of the church with a flock of gray-robed sparrows, and her thin body blocked Cersei, who was wearing only a light linen gray coat.
He proclaimed to the people at the bottom of the steps: "It is a felony to use unclean people as thugs in the martial arts trial, but the Queen Mother has confessed her guilt, and in order to show her repentance, she will put aside all pride and pretense, fade away from her secrecy before the gods and the world, and embark on a journey of atonement naked." ”
The Sparrow looked back with a smile after giving a short speech to the believers, Cersei was mentally prepared for a humiliating way of atonement, this time she didn't resist, she didn't want to stay here any longer, not even for a minute.
For this reason, I mentally convinced myself that no matter what, I would never give the sparrows a chance to crusade again.
She looked up at the Red Fort Tower in the distance to the north, and thought of her son in the Meggar Building, whether she was climbing or loaming the streets, she would go back, and she would die too.
Moreover, as long as she can go back, she will not let go of any of the people here.
Cersei's heart burned with faith, and when the nun violently tore open her thin linen clothes, she walked into the dense crowd with a determined expression.
And Sister Moller, Sister Skoya and Sister Unia followed closely behind her, and every time Sister Moller shook the bell, Sister Scoia and Sister Unia said, Shame!
The crowd was silent at first, but soon began to stir, insulting the queen they hated, throwing all sorts of filth at her, and humiliating her.
Cersei's pretended not to care was quickly broken, and she began to cry, tears of humiliation quickly leaving her naked body in the corners of her eyes, and the tears collected mud and dirt into a large puddle of stains on her body.
And some people cry and some laugh.
Looking at the naked figure walking through the corridor at the foot of the stone wall, still following the abusive crowd.
looked at the queen mother, who was high in the sunset, and cried bitterly with grief and indignation.
Arya's thin figure, quietly hidden in a gray cloth robe often worn by Sparrow cultists, she hid behind a stone pillar, slowly covered her head with the cloak on her back, and while admiring the scene she deserved, her mouth burst into an extremely happy smile, and then followed the crowd forward, blending into the flow of people.
