"Queen is here!"
Throne Room A heavy wooden door was pushed open.
The figure of Cersei·Lannister appears. She is wearing a Queen crown and a one-line strapless red dress.
Slowly walked into the hall.
Cersei is followed by her loyal guards, Jaime·Lannister.
All the imperial ministers were surprised and stood up one after another, stroking their chests and saluting in the direction of Cersei.
Jon·Arryn looked at the arrogant Cersei Queen with complicated eyes.
Cersei stood still and looked at Hand Jon Arryn, who was still sitting upright. Their eyes happened to collide.
Hand Jon Arryn sighed secretly. Before the matter was revealed, Cersei was still Queen who represented the royal family.
Jon grabbed the armrest with slightly trembling hands, stood up from the wooden chair representing Hand of the King, and nodded to Cersei.
Cersei Queen raised his smooth chin, and a small arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Cersei looked around, glanced at the empty first seat, and then looked at Hand Jon Arryn next to that seat.
Cersei walked to the position facing the king's chair and said, "Good day, all ministers, I will sit here. Ser Jaime, please help me move a chair."
Jaime didn't care about the gazes of others from time to time, and placed the wooden chair behind Cersei with the corners of his lips curled up.
Barristan glanced at Jaime, who was in silver armor and white robes, and closed his eyes, as if out of sight.
Barristan strongly disagrees with the choice of Jaime·Lannister. As Kingsguard, Jaime broke his oath and killed the king he was supposed to protect. His white robe should be replaced with black.
Moreover, Barristan looked down upon Jaime, who had obviously "fallen".
After Cersei Queen sat down, everyone sat back in their chairs.
Renly raised the corners of his lips and said, "Your Highness Cersei, why did you come here suddenly today? You are a rare visitor. The last time you appeared here... I can't even remember. It seems to have been several years ago."
Cersei doesn't like this Renly who looks exactly like Robert at all, and she is also tired of the teasing in Renly's words.
Cersei snorted coldly, looked at Renly with beautiful eyes, and raised the corners of his lips. "Lord Renly, if your sincerity is sincere enough, I will participate in every Small Council, for you and for Seven Kingdoms."
Renly laughed and stopped talking.
Excluding Cersei Queen, which represents Lannister, from Small Council is a tacit political understanding among everyone. Even if there is a slight hint, he does not want to be blamed.
After Renly's laughter, everyone present had different feelings, and the hall was very quiet for a while.
The atmosphere on the long table became more and more solemn. Petyr's eyes moved slightly and looked at Hand Jon Arryn who had a heavy look on his face.
Feeling Petyr's gaze, Hand Jon Arryn clicked his chin imperceptibly.
Petyr's eyes moved to the direction of Cersei Queen and broke the silence. "Dear Your Highness Queen, please forgive me for being presumptuous. What are your orders? Petyr is at your disposal at any time..."
Before Petyr finished speaking, he felt firsthand the contempt from Cersei and Queen.
Cersei Queen doesn't want to pay attention to Petyr's microphone at all.
Petyr showed a slightly helpless look, shrugged and stopped talking.
Will Petyr secretly hate Cersei for ignoring it? The answer is no!
Including Petyr, everyone in Red Keep has long been accustomed to Cersei's domineering attitude.
Habits become natural. If Cersei responds gently, Petyr will wonder if there is some conspiracy hidden in it.
After a while, Hand Jon Arryn slowly said, "Cersei Queen, please speak frankly."
Although Cersei Queen showed a satisfied smile, she made no secret of her disgust for Jon: "Lord Arryn, I see that your health is indeed very problematic. I will arrange for the maid to go to Sept to light candles for you and pray for your speedy recovery."
Hand Jon Arryn frowned.
The timing of Cersei Queen's appearance was so coincidental that he had to wonder if something went wrong in the secret investigation.
As soon as this doubt appeared in my mind, it was immediately dispelled by Hand Jon Arryn.
If it has been exposed, according to Cersei's character, he will not sit across from him calmly, and he will have the leisure to ridicule him.
Hand Jon Arryn's eyes were sharp. "Cersei Queen, please tell me directly, Small Council still needs to continue discussing the kingdom's government affairs."
After Hand Jon Arryn finished speaking, and before Cersei could react, Grand Maester Pycelle suddenly spoke.
"Your Highness Queen, Hand of the King never lies. Before you arrived, we were discussing the blockade of King's Landing. We still have many issues to discuss."
Petyr's eyes trembled slightly, he felt that the cunning old fox finally showed its tail.
Pycelle Grand Maester, who seems a bit "muddleheaded" on the surface, took the initiative to stand up and speak for Hand Jon Arryn. This is also in line with Pycelle's usual behavior of flattering Hand of the King.
But it also depends on the occasion. Even if it is exactly the same thing, if it is placed in a different occasion, it may have completely different effects.
For example, now that Cersei Queen is present, Pycelle's words are actually equivalent to destroying Hand Jon Arryn's proposal to close the city.
Although the city closure plan proposed by Hand Jon Arryn in Small Council has won the support of most of the imperial ministers, it still needs the final Small Council procedure.
That is voting. Only proposals that have gone through the Small Council voting process are legal.
Only one step away, but was interrupted by Cersei Queen.
Now, Pycelle "accidentally" revealed this matter in front of Cersei Queen. Unexpected variables have appeared in what was a foregone conclusion.
When the big shots in Throne Room were fighting, Gryn was in the midst of the rolling waves of the Narrow Sea.
Rick·Snow said loudly, "Sir Gryn, we are being targeted by pirates, but don't worry, the wind direction is in our favor, and we can get rid of them before dark!"
Gryn glanced at the three black spots in the distance and raised his voice. "Rick, you are now the commander of Crabb Fleet!"
Gryn took a few steps, grabbed a cable, pointed in the direction of the pirate ship, and shouted, "Get closer!"
You have the final say!
Rick also aroused fighting spirit, wiped the sea water from his face, and shouted, "First officer, prepare to turn, full left rudder! Hold on to the cable!"
The first mate on the ship immediately responded loudly, "Yes, captain! Full port rudder!"
The hull gradually tilted, Rick observed the waves and ordered, "Correct the course!"
"Yes! Correct the course!"
The sailors on the ship shouted loudly and tried their best to tighten the cables connected to the sails and control the direction of the sails.
The bow of the ship hit the waves, and the Crabb Galleon dragged out a large area of white waves.
Gryn's ears were filled with the sound of rushing water. He took the special long bow from Martier·Baker: "Martier, follow me closely!"
Martier, whose body was covered with quivers, responded loudly, "Master Gryn, please don't worry!"
The people on the pirate ship also discovered the "prey" that was actively approaching them by adjusting the ship's direction.
They have three boats, and there are only two boats on the opposite side. The advantage is mine!
The pirate captain held on to the railing and shouted arrogantly, "Who do they think they are? I am the king of this sea, pull the ship over!"
When the two sides could clearly see each other, the sea calmed down slightly.
"Reef the sails! Prepare for a boarding battle!"
"Reef the sails! Prepare for a boarding battle!"
At about the same time, the captains on both sides issued the same order!
Mutton on the other boat put on an iron bucket helmet. "Anguy, the wind and waves are still strong, don't get too far forward, be careful of falling."
Anguy observed the surroundings sharply and nodded. "Mutton, I have almost adapted to the shaking on the ship. The main reason is that the ship is too narrow, so you need to pay attention."
Mutton pulled up his visor, smiled, and said in a naive voice, "Have you decided who you want to marry?"
Anguy was indeed welcomed by the Spearwifes in Crabb Territory, especially after he couldn't help but defeat several Spearwifes who in his opinion were too strong.
Anguy, which is very popular on the surface, actually has unspeakable difficulties.
Anguy wanted to change the subject, but suddenly said, "Mutton, how do I feel... have you been avoiding Lord Gryn recently? Don't you usually like to follow the lord?"
Mutton wanted to scratch his head, but his fingers touched the cold helmet, so he withdrew his hand.
Mutton looked at Anguy with blank eyes and said, "Anguy, I didn't pay attention to this. You may have seen it wrong."
With that said, Mutton turned his attention to the approaching pirate ship in the distance, raised his buckler, and said, "I'm going to the front."
The ship was still shaking violently, but Mutton's steps were very steady.
Anguy glanced at Mutton's fat back in confusion, then withdrew his gaze.
There was still some time before the boarding battle, Anguy carefully checked the bow and arrow again.
Red Keep, Throne Room.
Cersei Queen's lips curved in a mocking way, and his tone was cold. "Jon·Arryn, are you not only suffering from health problems, but also stupid?"
Cersei's words seemed to freeze the entire Throne Room.
Facing the various eyes focused on him, Cersei raised his chin proudly and snorted coldly.
Hand Jon Arryn couldn't help but clenched his fist, and his tone was warning. "Lannister Queen, this is Small Council, not your inner room!"
After saying that, Hand Jon Arryn's throat felt itchy and he couldn't help but cough.
Petyr hurriedly stood up and walked over, but was waved off by Hand Jon Arryn.
Cersei Queen, who was originally very angry because of what Jon said about "inner room", now saw Hand Jon Arryn's unusual embarrassment with her own eyes, and her mood suddenly became happy.
After finally stopping his coughing, Hand Jon Arryn leaned weakly on the back of the chair like a helpless and weak old man.
Will Cersei sympathize with the weak Hand Jon Arryn?
Cersei never sympathizes with the weak. She only takes pleasure in others' misfortunes and adds insult to injury. She just sits idly by and does nothing to save her, so she shows great kindness.
Cersei Queen looked at Hand Jon Arryn and said leisurely, "Lord Arryn are you interested in my dormitory? When did this start? Hand of the King, it's rare for you to make me curious."
"You!"
The rise and fall of Lord Jon's chest increased. "Cersei Queen, don't tarnish my honor at will!"
Cersei Queen said coldly, "Only a coward would blockade King's Landing in a big way for his own safety. I will give you a skirt next time you come."
Facing the suspicious looks around her, Hand Jon Arryn felt like she was going to be so angry that she would vomit blood...Old Lion How could Lord Tywin have such a daughter!
Cersei naturally does not know that Hand Jon Arryn is on the surface under the guise of investigating the secret passage, but the real purpose is to block King's Landing in advance in order to control the situation after the problem of Royal Bloodline is revealed.
Cersei thought that Jon Arryn was frightened by the discovery of the secret passage, so he decided to go to war.
According to Cersei's conjecture, Hand Jon Arryn's behavior is the behavior of a coward.
The words that made Hand Jon Arryn angry the most were not Cersei's words about giving her a dress. Of course, these words did not make him angry.
Mainly due to Cersei's specious words, Hand Jon Arryn felt that he had truly seen the sluttiness of Cersei. This was the Queen that he personally selected for King Robert.
Everyone knows that Red Keep has no secrets. Doesn't she care about her reputation?
Cersei certainly doesn't care about reputation!
It's just that Cersei Queen's Chief Steward Gryn·Crabb made a not-so-good start... In Cersei's opinion, whoever dares to slander her would probably send Gryn to make his head roll. She still misses the feeling at that time.
I, Cersei·Lannister, never know what fear is!
In the confrontation between Hand of the King and Queen, none of the ministers could get involved, except the king's younger brother--Renly.
Renly really wanted to help Hand Jon Arryn, but he could never find a suitable opportunity.
On the one hand, House Baratheon is naturally close to Hand Jon Arryn; on the other hand, Renly once planned to famously change Cersei·Lannister from Pull down Queen's position and let Margaery·Tyrell become the new Queen. While fighting the forces of Lannister, he can also get support from House Golden Rose.
Unfortunately, the plan has only just begun...Jaime is spreading Gold Dragon everywhere like crazy, probing and investigating like crazy, so he has to temporarily stop the action, and then cautiously leads the clues to Riverlands.
The conspiracy is dark after all. Everyone is using it, but no one likes it. If it is accidentally exposed, it will tarnish the honor of House Baratheon.
Facing Jaime's random punches, Renly had no choice but to give way in order to take the overall situation into consideration.
Renly and his close advisors had been planning the plan for a long time, and then they saw some results, but it ended like child's play.
In the solemn atmosphere, Renly suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter was filled with heroism, much like King Robert.
Renly eased the atmosphere in his own way. "Your Highness Cersei, you may not know much about Lord Jon. He never understands what humor is, and Robert brother Wang can't understand this either!"
After Renly finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
Cersei snorted lightly and did not speak again, not that Renly's words had any effect.
Renly's words mentioning King Robert are implicit warnings. He is reminding Robert that the relationship between King Hand Jon Arryn and Hand Jon Arryn is special and deep, so Cersei Queen should not be too pushy.
The arrogant Cersei didn't realize the deep meaning in Renly's words. She just looked at Renly's face that looked so much like young Robert and felt sick in her heart.
Cersei hates everything and everyone related to King Robert!
Sometimes misunderstandings can be beautiful... At this time, Renly suddenly felt that although Cersei was a bit willful, he would still advance and retreat in a measured way at critical moments. If he was not born House Lannister, he could be regarded as a qualified Queen.
Renly's smile was free and easy, and he continued, "Your Highness Cersei, you suddenly attended Small Council. I think there must be something important! Shall we discuss your matters first?"
After saying that, Renly looked at Hand Jon Arryn.
Renly is still too young...Jon sighed secretly and didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
Cersei looked at Renly with a smile on his face and couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly.
"Hand Jon Arryn, I heard that due to your health condition, Petyr is now taking over the duties of Hand of the King on your behalf (information I heard from Gryn). Do you plan to train Petyr to be Hand of the King's successor?"
