Chapter 0202: Cersei's Style, Gentle Hints, Eddard's Wish
(Commuter Pass Plus Update Chapter 1)
*
The next day, at noon, the beautiful sun shone on the sacred wood forest inside the Red Fort.
"You're looking for me, Lord Eddard!" Cersei walked over with a slight shake on her waist and looked at the Hearttree in front of Eddard Stark with a scrutinizing gaze.
The heart tree in the Red Keep is not a fishbeam, but a brown oak tree, and there is no carved face on it.
In the south, when the people converted to the Seven Gods, they were cut down on a large scale.
Standing in front of the heart tree, which was not a fishbeam, Eddard Stark thought of the 10,000-year-old fishbeam in Winterfell: the pale bark that resembled human skin, the blood-red leaves that looked exactly like the palm of a man's hand, the sad eyes of the tree, which made people feel sorrow at the first glance, and the red tears that flowed from the corners of the eyes were like dripping blood.
"Your Majesty, why did the Sons of the Forest draw a pair of eyes on every fishbeam?" Eddard Stark whispered.
"I don't know, when did Lord Eddard start studying theology?" Cersei chuckled.
The clouds on the tower's walls were snow-white, and the breeze was blowing, and Cersei came alone. She wore leather boots and a green robe. Her face was hidden in her hood, and when she gently lifted it and the sun shone on her milky face, Ed thought she was as beautiful as a fairy.
Eddard Stark looked at Cersei in the sun, "Your Majesty, did anyone tell you that you are as beautiful as the sun?"
Cersei felt slightly strange, Eddard Stark seemed to be a little different today, Cersei's mind was sensitive, and she slowly understood that it was Eddard Stark's gentle smile and words of praise.
"Lord Eddard, when did you learn to compliment? You're not a man with sharp teeth. β
"I know that I am a frozen ground in the north, a rock in the snow and ice. β
Cersei chuckled, "Lord Eddard, you're very self-aware. β
"Your Majesty, I think I should apologize to you. β
"Oh?"
"Ser Tyrion came to me in the morning, and he said he wanted to talk to me, but I refused. β
"Yes, I know. β
"I don't want to talk to him. β
"Oh, why?"
"I want to talk to you. β
"I'm coming. Cersei raised her head slightly, her long neck as graceful as a swan. Her small movements indicate that she is mentally ready for battle.
"So, let's sit down together, how about it?"
"As you wish, Lord Eddard. Cersei smiled, and her style was touching.
Eddard Stark sat on the grass under the heart tree and opened the thick book she was holding, and Cersei noticed that it was the book that the scholar Paisher had told her about the night beforeβ"The Genealogy and History of the Families of the Principal Nobles of the Seven Kingdoms".
Cersei sat down on the grass, her every move graceful and noble. Her blonde hair fluttered gently in the wind, and her green eyes were like green leaves on a summer morning.
"Your Majesty, behold, according to the Merrien scholars, more than ninety years ago Tia Lannister married Gwen Baratheon, and their only child was an unnamed infant boy who died young, large in size, with a good appetite and full black hair. Brunette, Her Majesty the Queen. β
"I saw it. Cersei said lightly.
Thirty years earlier, Bennet Lannister had married Camille Baratheon. Camille Baratheon had three daughters and one son, all of whom were black-haired. β
"Uh-huh!"
Fifty years earlier, Kelly of the Lannisters had married Karl of Baratheon and had two sons, both of whom were also dark-haired. β
"So, what do you want to say, Lord Eddard. Cersei's face didn't change.
"Toughness, Lord Jon Arryn shouted before he died, and it was. The hair of each of Robert's bastards was as black as night. And in this book, no matter how we go back, when gold meets carbon black, there will always be only a share of submission. And Prince Joffrey, blonde, Prince Tommen, blonde, and Princess Messira, blonde. β
Cersei smiled slightly, without the slightest embarrassment of the truth being revealed, and the fingers of her right hand gently brushed Eddard Stark's leg with the gentlest hint: "Lord Eddard, Joffrey is still a child, and Robert never asks about the government, and the rule of the Seven Kingdoms needs a strong prime minister." I'm a woman, I just want my children and my lover to be okay, I don't want to fight. Her right hand was raised, fingertips brushing Eddard Stark's face, "Friends can turn enemies into enemies, and long-time enemies can turn enemies into friends?" Lord Ned, if you are willing to keep a secret for me, I swear you will never regret it." β
Her big beautiful eyes hint at everything to Ed, and she is his, as long as Ed wants to.
"I'm afraid Jaime will kill me when he comes back from Narrow Sea. β
"Jaime will never know, I assure you in the name of the gods, old and new. As much as I love Jaime, now that he is on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and your lady is thousands of miles away, the King is so drunk every night that he wakes up the next day and forgets everything, and even if we are with him, he will not know it. β
Eddard Stark was silent for a long time: "Your Majesty, I will not keep your secrets for you. β
Cersei flicked Ed's fingers and let go gently, "Lord Eddard, what do you want to do?" she pulled up her hood and hid her face so that Ed couldn't see the expression on her face.
"I'll keep it a secret for Robert, it's Robert's scandal, you and him for more than ten years, but the three children are James's. I don't want him to be angry with you, and I don't want the kingdom and the Baratheon family to be disgraced before the seven gods. β
Cersei paused visibly, and the irrepressible surprise in her voice was slightly revealed: "Lord Eddard, you kept the secret for me, except for ...... What more could you want?"
"If possible, I want Dragonstone to belong to Eddard Stark, including Dragonstone's vassals and navy. β
"Dragonstone, Stannis's Dragonstone?"
"Yes. β
"Anything else?"
"Jon Arryn's child, Robert Arryn, is young, and I want him to be adopted, and I want Ryza Tully to be judged. β
"Judging her what?"
"She poisoned Jon Arryn. β
"Do you have proof?" Cersei lifted her hood suddenly, her blue eyes sparkling.
"I have, evidence, witnesses, testimony. I've looked into everything. β
"Then I can't wait to see Jon Arryn's murderer brought to King's Landing for a public trial outside the church halls. Cersei let out a sigh of relief, fearing that Eddard Stark would put the account on her head as well.
Although she is not afraid, she does not do it herself, but she has to carry it on her ......
"If Her Majesty can help me get Dragonstone, and then help me get justice for Jon Arryn's unjust death, I am willing to be driven by Her Majesty the Queen to go to the soup and fire, at any cost. If Her Majesty would like Prince Joffrey to return to King's Landing one day sooner to learn how to manage the kingdom, I will do my best to teach the prince how to manage the kingdom. β
Cersei smiled sweetly, "Lord Eddard, Joffrey is your adopted son, and it is only natural for you to cultivate him. β
Her hand reached over and placed it on Eddard Stark's. Big. On his legs, he rubbed gently: "Lord Eddard, everything is as you wish." β
