Chapter 0203 - Woman's Weapon: Hungry Lion and Meat
Eddard Stark gently took Cersei's hand and politely placed it on the grass: "Why, for more than ten years, you and Robert have not had a child?"
Cersei leaned into Ed's ear and exhaled, "If he can climb into my bed before he gets drunk, maybe he can do it." But every time he entered my body, he would say another person's name: Lyanna Stark. On the wedding night, I believe he was drunk and showed his true feelings, but many years passed, three, seven, ten, fourteen years, you think, one has ...... Can a person who has passed away for many years still be so unforgettable in his heart......"
Ed was silent, and after a while said, "I don't know if I should grieve for Robert or for you. ”
"Lord Eddard, after we've been husband and wife for seven years, he occasionally comes into my body and shouts Lyanna Stark's name, I think he did it on purpose, he likes to see my pain...... It would make him have malicious pleasure. So, later, I never let him touch me again, and he actually didn't want to touch me for a long time. He touched me and I felt disgusted when I touched him, and we were two people who felt disgusting to each other. In this way, we have reached this year, fourteen years, and we have long since lost sex with each other. ”
Eddard Stark looked at Cersei, and Cersei looked honest.
But Ed actually knew that she was lying, and she hid the fact that she and Robert actually had a child, but it was taken away by Jaime and the herb.
Because, as soon as Robert's child is born, everyone will find out that it is a brunette, and Joffrey, Tomman and Messira are all blonde. This can also be barely justified, some children follow their mothers, some children follow their fathers, and Robert himself is a rough man, and he will not feel anything unusual if no one reminds him. And around him, with the exception of Barristan Selmi, who is also only proficient in combat, the rest of the people are either softbones and fools, or people from the Lannisters...... But that's not really the point......
The real point is the ownership of the kingdom's succession.
Jaime managed to take out Cersei and Robert's child, Eddard Stark knew that this was actually about the struggle for the inheritance of the seven kingdoms in the future, if the incident between Jaime and Cersei was revealed, then, only Robert's children would have the Iron Throne inheritance, half-brothers would be killed, the kingdom would be in chaos, and if Robert's children won, the Lannisters would be wiped out...... If Jaime and Cersei's child wins, the kingdom will be divided......
Ed looked at Queen Cersei with an honest face, this beautiful woman was not honest, and she would never be honest, whether it was to her father, to Jaime, or to anyone else, Ed knew more about Cersei than she knew herself......
"I know your secret, in a hundred years from Robert, the Iron Throne will be given to Joffrey in line of succession. The kingdom of the House of Baratheon......"
"Ed, the kingdom needs a strong prime minister. In the future, Joffrey will grow up and inherit the throne, you will still be the prime minister of the kingdom, and the guardian of Dragonstone and the East will also be yours. ”
The Four Guardians of the Kingdom: Eddard Stark in the North, Jon Arryn in the East, Robert Arryn in succession, Tywin Lannister in the West, and Mace Tyrell, the inflatable fish Mace Tyrell, the father of Loras Tyrell, Knight of the Hundred Flowers in the South.
One kingdom, four guardians, and two exclusive in the north, the meaning is obvious, the seven kingdoms, the future distribution of power, will be in charge of the Eddard Stark family in the north and the Lannister family in the west.
As for the Baratheon family, basically, there is nothing going on with his family.
Cersei knew very well that she couldn't do without the support of the North to secure her child's throne.
Eddard Stark wants Dragonstone, just as Cersei wants. It is a place where birds don't, although it has always been a military strategic location, which can easily cut off the kingdom's trade through the sea, and it has always been the traditional place for the heirs of the Targaryens, and it is the first military location for the Targaryens to launch an attack on the Westeros continent three hundred years ago.
- However, now that it is the fiefdom of Robert's brother Stannis, Eddard will inevitably provoke the hostility of the Barrashane if he wants to get Dragonstone...... This is a situation that Cersei likes to see.
Eddard Stark was silent, and finally looked at the sky and sighed, as if to say to himself: "Power is like a hungry lion that tastes meat, and he can't stop it." ”
"Icewolves and lions are carnivores. Cersei smiled softly, gentle and charming, "Icewolf tasted the meat, didn't he think it was delicious?"
Eddard Stark said, "I regret coming to King's Landing, it's a big dye vat, whoever comes, falls into the dye vat, and doesn't want to wash back to its original color. ”
"Lord Eddard, if you and I work together, we can avoid the civil war of the Seven Kingdoms and benefit the people of the Seven Kingdoms. I promise that in the near future, as long as you cooperate with my plans, I will give you everything in Dragonstone as my first gift to you. Her hand reached over and took Ed's thick hand and squeezed it gently.

In the afternoon, Megar House, the Queen's Ballroom.
"Eddard Stark's words are not credible. Tyrion said, "Whoever doubts his integrity and loyalty to Robert is the number one fool in the Seven Kingdoms." ”
Cersei sat at the ornate round table in the ballroom: "My own brother, power is like a hungry lion eating meat. Eddard Stark has been Prime Minister for a few months, three months, five months? He is now the true king of the Seven Kingdoms, who can escape the temptation of power? Icewolves are also carnivores, and once they get out of the North, they get their first taste of meat......
"Dragonstone Island and the Eastern Guardian will make anyone feel excited. "Still, if only we had Eddard Stark's handle." For example, if he doesn't dare to make it public, it will make him ruined...... Something like that. scandals and the like. ”
"Eddard Stark will never tarnish his honor, I vouch for it with the big head on my head. Tyrion said flatly, "If he changes, it proves that something must be wrong." ”
"Nothing is necessarily wrong, and if he wants to play any trick, I will crush him. This is King's Landing, Tyrion, and I command you to send someone to keep an eye on Eddard Stark twenty-four hours a day, and make sure I hear his whispers in the dorm chamber and his dreams in the middle of the night, the Lannister giants. ”
Tyrion glared at his sister, got up, and left.
"Fellow Paischer, if Eddard Stark did something sorry for Robert because of some force majeure, is this a trick that he doesn't dare to make public? scandal that has ruined his reputation...... Something like that. ”
"Your Majesty, as far as I know Eddard Stark, he is not interested in women. He values honor above all else!"
"Then how did he come to be his bastard? In the Battle of Elysium, Eddard Stark killed the Kingsguard Dawn Excalibur. I've heard that when he returned the 'Dawn' of the Dawn Sword to Ashara's sister, Ashara Dain committed suicide by throwing herself into the sea from the wall?
Pixiel looked down at the ground.
"Was it because Eddard killed her brother Arthur Dayne, the Dawn Excalibur, or because Ed took his and Ashara's children?"
Paiselle's face was flushed, and he was in a cold sweat!
He had long been a filthy fellow who had broken his oath of the Bachelor, and his body and soul had long belonged to the brothel of Shataya, if only his affairs had been known to the Academy...... It's not just about ruining your reputation......
"Your Majesty, I will give you the best potion if you wish. ”
"Thank you, Bachelor. Cersei looked at the embarrassed Pyser with a condescending gaze, "Scholar, let me tell you the truth, a woman's most powerful weapon is between her legs, and if a man is not tempted, it is not enough just because!"
