Chapter 473: The Monarch Killer (2)
King Robert pardoned Jaime and left him as the King's Guard, and Eddard quarreled with the king over this, and led his troops south to find his sister Lyanna.
Although Robert did not pursue Jaime for his crimes, he had ulterior motives to trumpet Jaime's "merits" in killing Aerys II.
After all, he is unorthodox Targaryen, and his reputation for killing kings is not good, and someone must bear the responsibility for this crime after all, and the name of "Monarch Killer" has been a household name since then.
Jaime Lannister appeared in "Game of Thrones" with a standard villain script, under the name of "The Kingkiller", arrogant, arrogant, and unsightly, targeting Eddard Stark everywhere.
Her sister Cersei married Robert, and she went around and around and finally became queen.
And although Jaime Lannister can still wear white, he is a well-known registrant, oath-breaker, and the negative teaching material of the Knights of the Seven Kingdoms.
"Look what I've done for love?"
Sister and brother incest, pushing young children off the tower......
"Lions don't care what sheep think." James often consoled himself with this phrase.
The rumors around the world made Jaime rebel and always like to work against other people.
Jaime made up his mind to return Sansa and, if possible, her sister with her.
Of course, this is not to win any bullshit honor, but everyone thinks he is capricious, but he prefers to keep his oath, how wonderful it feels.
However, there are some people who can't be fooled anyway, such as his father, Duke Tywin.
He warns Jaime to care too much about what other people think, and Jaime says he doesn't, and Tywin says, "That's exactly the impression you want to leave on them." ”
The oath of the kingkiller, the joke of the Seven Kingdoms.
Eddard Stark's oath will be believed by his enemies.
Jaime never told anyone about the Mad King's burning of the city, and no matter how much he pretended not to care on the surface, his inner grievances would be revealed from time to time.
I saved 500,000 people in King's Landing; I avenged Stark's father and brother; Why...... Will it turn out like this?
"The Kingsguard swore to protect the King's secrets, do you want me to break my oath?"
He smiled, "You think the noble Duke of Winterfell will come and listen to my feeble explanation?" What an honor-worthy person, he actually looked at me and decided that I was guilty!"
Jaime was about to climb out, but the water was already cold.
"What qualifications does the wolf have to judge the lion? What qualifications are there?" His body trembled violently, and his severed limbs swept to the edge of the tub.
Jaime was jealous of Eddard Stark's glow.
Thirty-five-year-old Jaime is cynical and broken to fulfill his duties as a Kingsguard.
Jaime provoked Ed at every opportunity, perhaps naively believing that he could regain his honor by defeating Ed in a duel, but Ed always ignored James's provocations.
After the imp is captured by Caitlyn as a suspect in harming Bran, Jaime and his troops attack Eddard at the entrance of the women's ward, breaking one of Eddard's legs, before fleeing back to Castle Rock.
Robert dies, Eddard Stark is imprisoned in a failed coup, and Robb Stark leads the Northern army south.
Jaime led the Lannisters to the King of the North, and in the Battle of the Whispering Forest, the Lannisters were tragically killed, and Jaime was captured in exchange for Eddard Stark's hostage in Riverrun.
King Joffrey reneged on his promise and publicly executed Eddard Stark.
Fearing for the safety of her two daughters, Caitlyn secretly freed Jaime and left her escorted by Brienne of Tarth for a hostage exchange.
This strong and ugly woman, who also has a knightly dream, is suspected of killing the sworn Ranli Baratheon, and is also saddled with the name of "Kingkiller".
To Jaime's surprise, no matter how defiant his words and actions were, Brienne's oath could not be broken.
During the war, the journey was particularly difficult, and Wag Hoult led the Warriors to capture them and cut off Jaime's right hand.
Jaime was also stripped of his last pride as a knight, lost his right hand, and could no longer hold a sword, what else could he do?
In his most desperate moments, Jaime even wanted to die, he had never suffered such a thing in his life, let alone the humiliation of having his dignity trampled on.
Wag Holt hung his severed right hand around Jaime's neck, making him smell rotten every day.
"Coward!"
Brienne's invective fuels Jaime's desire to survive, and they arrive alive in Harrenhal.
Ruth Burton, a vassal, of House Stark, secretly made a deal with Tywin, who happened to be in possession of Harrenhal.
Luce Bolton ordered the maester to heal the rot on Jaime's severed hand and save his life, and when Jaime was in a slightly better state for a while, he finally set out on the road back to King's Landing.
The end of the War of the Five Kings is quite interesting, Ranley Baratheon is killed by the shadows, Robb Stark dies at the bloody wedding, Stannis Baratheon is defeated by the Blackwater River, and King Baron, who took advantage of the fire, is only focused on participating, and King Joffrey, who lies to win, is poisoned at the wedding shortly after.
King's Landing, I, James Lannister, are back.
King's Landing has changed, and Joffrey's death has completely ignited the conflict between her sister Cersei and her brother Tyrion, and the little demon is imprisoned as the biggest suspect, and Cersei is bent on killing him.
Duke Tywin had the idea of having the little devil go to the Great Wall in black, and Jaime quitting the Kingsguard to inherit Castle Rock.
After the Tyrion trial failed, Jaime chose the simplest and most brutal way to rescue him, secretly sparing his brother, while the little demon went back and shot his father, Tywin, through the tunnel.
The pillars of the Lannisters have fallen.
I lost my right hand, I lost my father, I lost my son, I lost my sister, I lost my love, and soon I lost my brother.
But they told me that the Lannisters had won the war.
Brienne of Tarth, the clumsy and stubborn woman, reawakens Jaime's dream of being a knight.
Jaime had told her all the way to the truth, and what was hidden in her heart was told to her, and Brienne became the only person in the world who truly knew the true face of the king's killer.
Tywin asked the craftsman to recast the Stark family Valyrian steel sword from Ice and forge two swords, one for Joffrey and the other for Jaime.
Jaime gave his sword to Brienne, and the two discussed it and named it "Oath", hoping that she would fulfill her vow to find the Stark family's daughter instead.
Tywin's death was like a fall in the air for Jaime and Cersei, and no matter how much they revulled their father's harshness, they couldn't deny how important their father's protection was.
Without his right hand, no matter how much he trained his swordsmanship, it was impossible for him to return to the top, and Tyrion was gone, so he had to try to use his mind to solve the problem.
Cersei says that Jaime is the stupidest Lannister, and in a sense yes, he is a slow learner, but he always learns.
Cersei's fearful prophecy gradually begins to come true, with Mycella being poisoned, Tomman jumping off a building, Jaime and Cersei's three children dying one by one, and Cersei being crowned queen. Queen Daenerys Targaryen, on the other side of the Channel, returns to Westeros with three dragons, none other than Tyrion Lannister.
Battlefield confrontations, brotherly duels, gold depleted Kaiyan City and wealthy High Court for one, Jaime actually did not suffer in strategy.
Daenerys fights back, and the battle of the Burning Plains repeats itself, and the one-handed knight rushes at the dragon to end the war.
Of course, it didn't work out, but luckily he didn't die.
Soon after, the threat of the Wraiths was made public, and Jon Snow lobbied the parties to suspend the war with the living.
Cersei sees the ghouls with her own eyes and agrees to an armistice and an alliance to resist the Wraiths.
Jaime reorganizes his army and prepares to head north, but Cersei refuses to fulfill her oath and waits for the fisherman's profit.
Guarding Queen Cersei, or keeping an oath?
With the snow falling in King's Landing, winter is finally here, and Jaime Lannister rides north, this time choosing to take an oath.
In the life-and-death battle of Winterfell, many people died, and Jaime was still lucky.
After the war, he chose to stay in Winterfell, alongside Brienne of Tarth.
King's Landing, still a place of concern for Jaime, eventually returned, for years before Jaime had stopped the Mad King from burning the city, but now he was powerless to stop the dragon's flames.
"Nothing matters anymore."
Jaime embraces Cersei and rests together in the collapsed ruins of the Red Keep.
No matter which work it is, characters who are both good and evil are the most popular, and like Jaime Lannister, don't look at him doing a bunch of ridiculous things, but it doesn't prevent this character from becoming the dream of hundreds of millions of girls.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the whitewashing process of this character is also exceptionally smooth.
Judging from the plot of the book, James is a character who is whitewashed from black to white.
And judging from Sir Jaime's life, he was first a teenager full of justice and dreams, gradually blackened in the teasing of fate, and finally found himself again.
He has had justice and indulgence, he has made an oath to protect to the death, but he has to break his oath to kill the lord, he has saved the civilians of a city, he has murdered innocent children, he has regarded the lives of others as a mustard, but he has also desperately protected those who despise him.
In his life, he can no longer distinguish between good and evil, it can only be said that he is a complex person, a complex romantic!
At the beginning of the original story, Jaime Lannister travels to Winterfell with the King, and Old Man Martin reveals that his nickname "The Kingkiller" comes from the "Usurper War", in which he killed the king Aerys Targaryen, whom he swore to protect.
Immediately afterward, he and his sister Queen Cersei's incest is overseen by little Bran, who pushes Bran down the tower in order to keep it a secret, which is the murder of Akago.
In the city, he was the same who killed the retinue of Eddard Stark, the wolf father, and broke one of Eddard's legs, and after fleeing King's Landing, he provoked war and besieged Riverrun.
Until he was captured by Robb Shiji, he still wanted to kill his companions and create chaos and let himself escape.
At this point in the story, people probably think that this guy is a heinous piece of garbage.
However, the art of Old Man Martin has only just begun, and one of the most successful whitewashes slowly unfolds with the arrival of the "beauty" Brienne.
As he became acquainted with Brienne, Jaime began to open his guard and for the first time stated the reason for his broken vows:
He had been proud to be the youngest Kingsguard, only to find that the Mad King Aerys treated his wife, Queen Layla, like a wild beast.
The royal family, including Queen Layla, was the object of their oath to protect the Kingsguard, and the other famous Kingsguards were indifferent to this.
When the Mad King brutally tortures Eddard's father, Recard Stark, and his brother, Brandon Stark, his faith is shaken again, and he once again questions the object of his oath and the sacred nature of his oath.
Eventually, Aerys demanded that he sacrifice the head of his father, Tywin Lannister, as a sign of allegiance, and confessed that he had become the Kingsguard in order to get revenge on Tywin.
He wants to make Tywin's proudest heir a guardian who cannot marry a wife, have children, or inherit the family castle.
And when he was about to bury the people of the city with wildfire, all his faithfulness collapsed, and he killed Aerys, whom he had sworn to protect, and sat on his throne until Eddard Stark came to receive King's Landing.
This is the mockery of fate that he encountered before he blackened, before that, in his young heart, he dreamed of becoming a great knight of "honor, justice, responsibility, and bravery", and continued to work in this direction, and achieved success!
At this time, he gave up his family castle and married a wife and had children, and he can be called a romantic boy who struggles and sacrifices everything for his ideals!
However, he found that he became the youngest guard of the Royal Guard, an act of revenge from the upper classes, and he swore to protect another madman, and all his illusions were ruthlessly torn apart.
The boy began to degenerate, and after killing the king, he began to let himself go, turning his back on all his previous values, and judging good and evil according to the standards of his heart.
After Martin asks the reader to follow Brienne through this past, he begins to feel sympathy and understanding for James.
Next, it seems that everything has been explained, he and his sister Cersei have an incestuous affair because Robert only loves Lyanna, and when he and Cersei get on the boat, he keeps calling Lyanna's name.
Cersei was not happy, he murdered Bran to protect his family, and once Bran revealed the news, Robert was bound to destroy the Lannisters.
He besieged Ed because his beloved younger brother was captured by Ed's wife, Caitlin, and started a war for the benefit of the family.
All the black spots have a reason to explain, and all the unfavorable characters have become a source of sympathy for readers, and Martin has unscrupulously shown people his character building skills.
And then, what James did in the story further solidified the results of whitewashing.
In order to protect Brienne's chastity, he did not hesitate to go into the bear pit and risk his life to rescue Brienne.
After discovering that Sansa and Arya are missing, she gives Brienne a coil and an oath sword so that Brienne can help her complete her mission.
Later, in order to fulfill his vow, he single-handedly follows Brienne to find the "Hound Dog" and rescue Sansa Stark.
At this point, I believe that the reader's concern and sympathy for him has surpassed that of the protagonists of the Stark family.
In the process of creating this character, the most important thing for Old Man Martin is the characteristics of James's bones, which have not changed.
When he was a teenager, he pursued his dreams, had no worries, gave up the family inheritance, he was romantic and willful, and after being disillusioned, he did whatever he wanted, no longer bound by traditional good and evil, he was still romantic and willful.
In the end, after the results are whitewashed, he risked his life to protect Brienne, and he swore an oath to guard him regardless of his personal safety, which is just as romantic and capricious.
Therefore, even if the whitewashing process is very sudden and shakes a lot in the reader's heart, it will not feel unreasonable, but will have an endless aftertaste, after all, life is impermanent.
