Chapter 0220: Lion's Teeth vs. Wolf Claws

The Silent Room is the prayer room for the nuns and is very quiet. Ed and Cersei go in, and the Sisters of Silence come out, so no one will bother.

Cersei pulls out a note and hands it to Eddard.

Ed took it, opened it, and exclaimed, "Good plan." ”

"Call him to be king, and he will come. Cersei laughed.

"Her Majesty the Queen is truly clever in such a brilliant plan. Eddard Stark didn't believe that Cersei could come up with such a brilliant plan, presumably another masterpiece of Tyrion.

"When Stannis threw himself into the net, Prince Joffrey returned to the throne as king, and Dragonstone was given to the Stark family of the North. ”

"And the Guardian of the East, Her Majesty the Queen. Eddard Stark reminded Queen Cersei.

The chips exchanged are too light, and on the contrary, it can be suspicious. The more greedy and obnoxious, the more credible it will be.

"Yes, Lysa Tully, who poisoned Jon Arryn, will be judged by the Archbishop. This is an insincere statement, because Lysa Tully is in the Valley of Arryn and the Archbishop is in King's Landing. The king led the knights to capture Lysa Tully, but he couldn't even pass through the blood gate.

"Yes, Your Majesty. "Eddard Stark speaks of self-deception as if it were true.

Everyone knows it.

"When Her Majesty Joffrey ascends the throne, I will honor Her Majesty the Queen as regent and protect the whole territory. Eddard Stark offered his reassurance pill to Queen Cersei. Women are suspicious, and vicious women are even more suspicious, come on, Cersei, take a dose of the heartwarming patch first.

"Oh!" Cersei looked at Eddard with a twinkle in her eyes, very surprised. Her hand reached over and gently took Ed's hand.

Ed did not refuse Cersei's hand: "If the Queen Mother Regent wants, I want to follow the Queen Mother and be a prime minister." Although there is no trace of the eight characters now, but first put the hat on Cersei, there is a hundred benefits and no harm, and then the conversation turned again, to retreat, "However, I am from the north, I grew up in the north, in fact, I want to go back to the north." I wasn't used to the warm climate, and I missed Caitlyn's red hair. ”

"If Lord Eddard returns to the North, who will be the Prime Minister?" Cersei said softly. With a slight movement, she sat on Eddard Stark's lap, picked up his large rough hand, and kneaded it gently.

Cersei was still too tender, and with a light word, Eddard revealed her true thoughts: get rid of Eddard Stark. Neither the Prime Minister nor the Regent can allow anyone else to get involved.

That's what the real Cersei had in mind.

"Jaime Lannister or Tywin Lannister. Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I got Dragonstone Island, and the king was given the title of Eastern Frontier Guardian, so don't be too greedy. From now on, Eddard Stark swears an oath of His Majesty Joffrey and Her Majesty the Queen Mother, witnessing to the gods old and new. Eddard Stark's hand gently pressed back against Cersei's hand and said solemnly.

Joffrey is not His Majesty yet, Cersei is not the Queen Mother yet, and Robert is not dead, but this is what Cersei likes to hear, so she has to say it out loud.

This is the time to show shamelessness and fearlessness.

The Queen Mother Regent's sweet words made Cersei's heart flutter, but her excitement was not revealed.

Her faint expression, red lips gently caught Ed's thick lips, her chest rose and fell, and she said flatteringly: "What does the king's will say?"

She's not stupid! It's just that she's not far away, and the sheer regent's supreme status and supreme power, as well as her false name, make it difficult for her to hold it.

Power and vanity, the lion tasted meat.

"In his will, Robert gave me the kingdom and made me the guardian of the whole realm, regent, until Joffrey came of age. But I have a better proposal: the Queen Mother Regent, Her Majesty Joffrey, and a Prime Minister Jaime Lannister, this is the most solid structure of the kingdom. No one wants to go to war, and so do I. I swear in the name of the gods, old and new, to always follow the Queen Mother Regent and support Her Majesty Joffrey. I will defend the northern and eastern borders of the kingdom until I die. ”

Eddard Stark vows that he will not be held accountable at all.

"Master Eddard Stark, in the Divine Wood Forest, I promised you a long time ago that you would never regret it. Cersei gently unbuttoned her elegant silk dress...... "You won't regret it, Lord Eddard. ”

"Queen Regent, I hope to marry Sansa and Joffrey before I return to the North. ”

It's okay for the old wolf to slip away, and Cersei doesn't want the old wolf to stay in King's Landing, but she has to keep a hostage, and Sansa is the best candidate.

This woman is easy to deal with, and the one who is not easy to deal with is the little demon Tyrion.

Eddard Stark wants to convince Cersei of this power exchange.

Cersei was overjoyed, she was planning to keep Sansa, but the old wolf offered to keep Sansa. At this point, the support of the Northern Stark is safe. - That represents the support of the Riverlands, the support of the Arryn Valley, plus the support of the West, the support of Dragonstone, and so on, the overall situation is decided.

A big smile appeared on Cersei's face. Her smile is so beautiful that she is admired by Jaime as the sun.

Cocoa!

There was a knock at the door.

"Your Majesty, the National Teacher sent Xi'er to ask for a meeting. It was the voice of the mercenary Bolon.

Cersei stood up from Eddard's body and tied up her silk skirt.

"Come in. ”

The Great Master of Paiel came in tremblingly.

"How long does the king have left?" asked Eddard Stark.

This is also Cersei's main concern. Her ravens have been released to the West, and she has ordered the Iron Guards Mandon Moore and Marin Tiran to immediately escort Prince Joffrey back to King's Landing, ready to ascend the throne.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Your Majesty, it has been more than two days since King Robert was disemboweled by a wild boar to return to King's Landing, and I have never seen anyone with such a strong vitality, and if it were anyone else, he would not have been able to return to King's Landing alive. I've fed him poppy milk and he's asleep. ”

"Asleep?"

"Yes, asleep. ”

"That's good. Your Majesty, please allow me to return to the Prime Minister's Tower first. ”

Queen Cersei's brow was irrepressible joy, although it was very unseemly, and she should have shown sadness. But she couldn't pretend she wouldn't. The overall situation is decided, and her heart is full of long-lost joy.

Once again, she proved that her most powerful weapon was between her legs.

"Rest well, Lord Eddard. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Early morning. Ed Stark standing in front of the high window of the Prime Minister's Tower.

Under the Prime Minister's Tower, Bran is practicing throwing a gun.

"Whoosh!"

A small throwing gun more than five feet long passed through the round hole in the center of the target, and the whole gun flew straight through, without trembling at the end of the gun, through the bull's-eye.

"Good!" rang out with the cheers of the northern guards.

This is several times more difficult than throwing the tip of a gun into a solid target.

As long as the barrel is slightly skewed, the barrel will hit the edge of the small round hole, causing the barrel to fly through the hole in its entirety. And when the barrel of a gun several feet long passes through the hole, any point that collides with the edge of the hole is a failure.

It's very hard!

Bran raised his hands and shouted, "Ho-"

As soon as two throwing spears in a row shot through the hollow without any touch, King Robert would make him the smallest Kingsguard and don the white cloak of his dreams. When he reached adulthood, he was directly knighted.

Bran has already broken through the first level: the first throwing gun succeeded, and now he is stuck on the second throwing gun.

The tail end of the second throwing gun always has a small scratch at the last moment when it flies through the round hole.

*

Under a few trees not far away, Arya practiced the water dance with her dancing teacher, Cerio Friel, with her left hand behind her back.

The two of them were shielded by the trees, the transition between attack and defense was as fast as a butterfly, the stabbing was like a bee's stinger, the two narrow swords came and went like the wind, the silver light shone brightly, and Arya's shouts came out from time to time, short and explosive: Hey, and the dance teacher always let out a mocking laugh after a series of stabs, and his teasing was as continuous as his sword light......

*

Footsteps sounded, and Sansa approached Eddard Stark with her long dress.

"Father, are you looking at Bran and Arya?"

Sansa is long, beautiful, and has impeccable features. The nobility and elegance of the aristocratic girl are perfectly reflected in her. Her heart, for this cruel world, is full of the beauty and purity of all fairy tales.

"I'm looking at the Lannisters' guards. Eddard Stark muttered.

Sansa looked out, and in the square outside the suspension bridge of the Megar Building, several teams of red-cloaked guards were practicing their morning exercises, some of them were practicing their marksmanship, and the horse's hooves were getting it, and the head of the human-shaped target made of leather and straw burst open, and some of the guards were practicing their swordsmanship, spinning from side to side, dodging attacks, and cutting down the scarecrow on the stump......

*

"Your Excellency. Jory arrived, bowed and said.

"What's the matter?"

"The Master of State sent Lord Hill to him, and he said that King Robert had died last night, and that Her Majesty the Queen had ordered that a meeting of the important ministers of the court should be convened immediately in the throne hall. ”

"Okay, Jory, you go with me. ”

"Yes, Prime Minister. ”

"Erin!"

Erin, the guard at the top of the staircase, immediately ran over.

"Close the gate of the Prime Minister's Tower, all the guards are guarded in the tower, the staircase, my bedroom door, and the study. Call Arya, the dance teacher, and Bran into the tower. Release Summer, Lady, Nymeria, remember not to lock the wolf cage no matter what happens to the wolf, biting and fighting, chasing and bluffing. The guards rotated in two shifts, ready with all their weapons: swords and bows. No one is allowed to leave the Prime Minister's Tower until I return. Without my orders, no one shouts to open the door and is not allowed to enter the Prime Minister's Tower. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Father, is anyone coming to attack the Prime Minister's Tower?" Sansa gripped Eddard's hand.

"No, kid, I'm just in case. Eddard Stark took Sansa in his arms and kissed her on the smooth forehead, "Go to Sister Modan, have fun, but don't leave the tower." ”

"Father, you and Jory are going, what if something happens?" Sansa is not stupid, although she is not familiar with the world.

"I'm the Hand of the King, of course I'll be fine. Don't worry, good boy, go find Sister Modan embroidery. ”
