Chapter 331 Winner

Above the tall towers, the sunlight is like a blazing flame, dazzling and dazzling.

Everyone stood silently, as if being shocked by this sudden "accident", they were silent for a moment.

Shocked...confused...bewildered...the people present seemed to have not recovered from the shock.

The whole scene seemed to be frozen in time.

The breeze blew gently, but it could not break the deathly silence. Only Joffrey's rough breathing seemed extremely clear.

Lord Tywin tensed his body, like an enraged lion trying to suppress his anger.

His clenched teeth creaked.

Ser Kevan called out at this time: "Lord Tywin."

Hearing his brother's voice, Lord Tywin held his hands behind his back...the hand that was clenched into a fist with bulging veins relaxed slightly.

Ser Kevan approached his brother and whispered: "Lord Tywin, there are too many eyes and ears today."

In front of everyone, Earl Green seemed to be excusing the king's atrocities, but he knew... the real purpose of the person in front of him was to directly determine the king's "crime".

After hearing this, King Joffrey chuckled: "It doesn't matter, you can think about it slowly and come back to me when you have thought about it, Earl Green."

He raised the hand wrapped with a cloth strip: "I was injured, he attacked me sneakily!"

"..." Two veins bulged on Duke Tywin's head.

Green did not insist on his request: "King Joffrey, your name of generosity is known to all seven countries, but... I really can't think of what I want at the moment. It's really worrying."

A silence.

Green's eyes moved to the old maester who had "shrunk" next to Lord Tywin, and his voice sounded again: "One of the witnesses - Grand Maester Pycelle, please record it yourself and inform the Maester's Tower that the message is To all the lords of the Seven Kingdoms.”

Green came to the wall, glanced down symbolically, and suddenly raised his voice: "The traitor, Lord Robert Arryn, took advantage of King Joffrey's kindness and attempted to assassinate him."

Meg Tower, Queen Mother's Chamber.

Lord Tywin was thinking about the possibility of concealing this matter and the subsequent consequences. He was rationally weighing the pros and cons.

"Earl Green, I see your loyalty, and I want to reward you."

After a slight pause, Duke Tywin said, "Kevan, make arrangements immediately. Today's matter must be a..."

Green thought for a while and said: "If possible... please allow me to send 'Duke Arryn' back to the valley, Your Majesty Joffrey."

"Go away." King Joffrey shook off the old maester's wrinkled hand in disgust.

He moved his gaze to Joffrey, who was still staring at him hatefully, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Green nodded slightly and said: "Yes, you are busy with affairs, and you also need to recover from your injuries, King Joffrey."

After a pause, Green said slowly: "For the next matter... maybe it would be better to ask Queen Cersei to talk to Duke Tywin in person. In this case, there is no need to bother you and Duke Tywin about this matter. Meet again."

He glanced at the back of Joffrey's hand and announced: "King Joffrey was injured due to a sneak attack, but he successfully fought back. The brave king executed Robert Arryn with his own hands. Gods bless the king."

Duke Tywin nodded his chin subtly, his eyes moved slightly, he glanced at the grandson who was hiding behind Earl Green, and then turned around and left.

…………

The sunlight shines on Queen Cersei through the stained glass, adding a beautiful touch of color to her. Her beautiful eyes sparkle with undisguised excitement and anticipation.

After saying that, King Joffrey frowned and thought for a moment, then asked: "Is there anything you want? I will satisfy you."

Duke Tywin and Ser Kevan both turned to look. Green nodded slightly to them, but did not stop.

Cersei Lannister was as happy as the summer sun. She walked towards the window sill gracefully, as if being pulled by invisible joy, and the gorgeous skirt swirled as she turned in a circle.

Bachelor Pycelle was so frightened that his body trembled: "Yes, yes, okay, I will treat you later."

Hearing this, King Joffrey's blue eyes moved and he said: "Okay, very good, leave this little thing to mom, I'm very busy."

At the mention of Lord Tywin, fear flashed across Joffrey's face, but he still pretended to be fearless and snorted.

When Lord Tywin and Ser Kevan disappeared, Maester Pycelle, who was trembling when walking with his eyes level, trotted up to King Joffrey with unusual agility.

King Joffrey interrupted angrily: "Then sew him up. You, sew him up with your own hands."

Green rubbed his head and sighed, "King Joffrey, perhaps you really need to recover from your injuries for a few days. I think your grandfather is still angry."

Lord Tywin ignored the cowardly old maester. While suppressing his anger, he thought about the accident that had just happened in front of him.

Upon hearing Green's request, King Joffrey's expression suddenly changed, and he said unhappily: "No, he is my head, and I will stick his head here so that everyone can see the fate of the traitor."

Before he could think clearly, King Joffrey, who woke up from his angry state, suddenly said loudly: "Earl Green is right, it was Duke Arryn who wanted to assassinate me, so I killed him!"

Standing aside, Sir James looked at Cersei who looked like a girl. He actually... felt a little uncomfortable.

Maester Pycelle looked pitifully at Lord Tywin who was staring at Greene. His low voice was filled with tears: "Lord Tywin, I didn't expect it. It was Lord Greene... His guards said that the king was injured. Yes, it was him... who arrested me... and invited me here."

Grand Maester Pycelle glanced at King Joffrey and said, "Your Majesty, I think... he can no longer see clearly..."

King Joffrey suddenly became happy when he thought that someone would "solve" the old lion on his behalf.

Joffrey Baratheon's acting was poor, but Lord Green still cooperated with him and made a gesture, saying: "Protect the king."

"Grand Maester Pycelle, please check His Majesty's wounds." Green's voice sounded from behind the crowd.

He said sadly: "Your Majesty, are you okay? Please let me take a look at you..."

Queen Cersei stood in front of the window, took a sip of summer red, looked at the beautiful scenery outside, and said: "Grimm Kleb...he is a fearless knight..."

Ser Jaime walked over and sighed: "Cersei, your compliments make me a little jealous."

Queen Cersei held the wine glass, curled her lips and said, "For me, Green challenged the old lion. What makes me most happy is... he won."

Sir James said helplessly: "Father must like your comments very much."

Queen Cersei glanced sideways at James and said, "If you are willing to resist the old lion for me, I will be happier, and I will also like your fearlessness on the bed."

Sir Jaime shrugged: "Cersei, I don't want to conflict with my father, but I can deal with the marriage partner he arranged for you." Queen Cersei's voice was slightly sarcastic: "Jaime, if I were you , I will challenge the old lion without hesitation, for you."

Sir James suddenly remembered Tyrion's words: "Cersei, the Lannisters are a family that loves each other."

When Cersei glanced sideways at him, Sir Jaime couldn't help but laugh: "Of course, we have to confirm the details."

Queen Cersei took a sip of Summer Red, smiled, and said, "You are really childish."

She put down her wine glass and added: "Today is a day worth celebrating. James, I want to invite Green to have dinner with us."

Sir James spread his hands and said, "Just in time, I can also ask him for advice on how to 'deal' with Lord Tywin."

Seeing that Cersei remained silent, he asked, "Aren't you curious, Cersei?"

Queen Cersei glanced at James with her green eyes and said: "James, before you play with the sword, do you still want to know how the blacksmith made it? I... just need to know whether it is sharp."

After a moment of silence, Sir James murmured: "It sounds...seems...very reasonable..."

Queen Cersei raised her graceful chin proudly and snorted.

Following Queen Cersei's instructions, the maids respectfully held pieces of gorgeous clothing and entered the small hall.

After receiving a long dress from the maid, Queen Cersei gestured gently in front of the dressing mirror.

One thing after another, Cersei's spirits were high.

Normally, Sir Jaime would like to admire Cersei's decision from the sidelines, but now... for some reason, he feels a little uncomfortable, or he feels a little inexplicable irritability in his heart.

After a pause, he said: "Cersei, it's just an ordinary dinner. You value Green too much, and... you are already charming enough."

Queen Cersei pointed to the golden dress and ordered: "That's it."

After the maids left, Queen Cersei picked up the wine glass again and said, "James, a woman's beauty is not just to satisfy a man's soft worm."

She took a sip of wine and continued: "I heard when I was very young that the old lion ruled the Seven Kingdoms, and my mother, Lady Joanna, ruled the old lion. At that time... she was the seventh kingdom. The true ruler of the country.”

Joanna Lannister was born into the Lannister branch. She was the wife of Lord Tywin and the mother of Cersei, Jaime and Tyrion. Lady Joanna died in childbirth after giving birth to Tyrion.

Sir James stretched his body and said, "I only know that after Lady Joanna passed away, my father never smiled again."

Queen Cersei came to Jaime, stretched out a slender finger to pick his chin, raised the corners of her lips, and said: "No matter how powerful the lion is, he will surrender to the beauty of a woman, Sir Jaime."

"Ok."

Jaime stretched out his hands to wrap his arms around Cersei's soft waist, and his lips curled up slightly: "At least I am such a lion."

Jaime and Cersei looked at each other, and then the distance between them gradually became closer.

As Sir Jaime closed his eyelids, there was a sudden knock at the door.

James cursed angrily, and Queen Cersei lowered her eyes and said with a smile: "It is really... Sir, go and see who disturbed its good mood."

Moving, Sir James walked towards the small hall door.

Opening the door, Sir James, who was still slightly dark-faced, said with some confusion: "Adam?"

In addition to Adam Malbrand, there was also Osfli Kettleblack who brought him in.

Sir Adam nodded and said, "James, it was Lord Tywin's order. He asked me to tell you something."

"Sir Osfry, you've got your work." Sir James came out and closed the door.

After Queen Cersei's captain of the guard left, Ser Adam informed Ser Jaime of the "accident" that happened on the tower.

Finally, he added: "Also, Sandor Clegane...these four Kingsguards...My Lord Prime Minister, please fulfill your duties as Captain of the Kingsguards."

Hearing the old lion's accusation, Sir James suddenly felt like he had been slapped. He forced a smile to his childhood friend and said, "I understand, Adam."

Sir Adam reached out and patted James' arm, flicked his red cloak, and left.

Returning to the Queen's Chamber, Queen Cersei noticed Jaime's sullen face and said, "I heard Ser Adam's voice."

Sir James walked to the wine cabinet, poured himself a glass of wine, took a big sip of wine, and then said: "Some accidents happened."

He first recounted Joffrey's atrocities, and then said: "Father told me that this is a fact, but... Green deliberately distorted the facts."

Queen Cersei sat down and said in surprise: "Green?"

Sir James nodded and said: "When it happened, Green happened to see it. He knew it very well."

He frowned: "Father told me that the 'fact' from Green's mouth was that Duke Arryn tried to assassinate Joffrey, but was later successfully counter-killed by the heroic king."

He murmured: "Father asked me how I planned to protect the honor of the White Knight in the face of the facts that happened before me."

After listening, Queen Cersei showed a satisfied look: "Green is not only brave, but also very smart. He has done a good job, and I should reward him."

Reward... this word has acquired another meaning in Sir James's ears due to Green's several "stimulations".

Retracting his thoughts that almost went astray, he said sternly: "Cersei, Joffrey must learn to shoulder the responsibility of the king. He shouldn't..."

His words were interrupted by Queen Cersei: "Don't mention your ridiculous honor to me. You are too naive, Jaime Lannister."

"When Aerys II was alive, Robert Baratheon was still a traitor, but what about now? Historical facts are always written by the victors."

"Little Robert is just a prisoner. Losers have no right to complain and have no chance, because they have been wiped out!"

"And Joffrey? He is the king who sits on the Iron Throne, the king who rules the Seven Kingdoms, my son, that is the truth."

Ser Jaime stared at Cersei who was full of pride for a while, and he couldn't help but raise his voice: "Cersei, your support will only teach Joffrey bad things. You should teach him..."

"enough!"

Queen Cersei said coldly: "I will make Joffrey the greatest king. I will naturally teach my son well without anyone else's teaching... Where are you going? Stop right here!"

"Others... of course teach others, Joffrey's good mother." Ser Jaime left the Queen Mother's Chamber without looking back.
