iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 384 Backstab 7
Green reached out and grabbed Cersei's moving hand, saying, "Perhaps, what I want is a reward that I can ask for at any time."

Cersei's eyes, like emerald green lake water, moved slightly: "Your sword needs to become sharper. I am the Queen Regent."

"You are still the old lion's daughter."

Green's tone was somewhat helpless as he continued, "So, in order to have this extremely tempting reward, I must not only draw my sword, but also not let him feel that I am going too far."

Amid Cersei's pleasant chuckle, he sighed, "To be honest, this is not an easy thing to do."

There seemed to be a light flashing in the lioness's gem-like eyes. She approached gently: "Is it difficult, dear?"

Green's eyes involuntarily moved downwards, his Adam's apple slowly rolled, and he said, "But... the reward is generous enough."

Cersei stretched out her slender arms and gently wrapped them around Green's neck. She curled the corners of her lips and whispered, "A Lannister must pay his debts. My dear, kiss me..."

……When she felt the heat, Cersei suddenly left Green's body.

Leaning lazily on the other side of the bathtub, her hands casually rested on the golden edge, as if she was intentionally showing off her graceful curves.

The lioness's face was flushed with an alluring blush. She raised her chin slightly, curled her lips, and her voice was filled with some kind of irresistible temptation: "I am looking forward to the day you are looking forward to, my dear knight."

Green: "…………"

He stood up with a somewhat unnatural movement, slowed down, and said helplessly: "It seems I need to work harder."

Cersei's breasts rose and fell slowly, but there was a hint of pride in her eyes.

"In my chamber lies a lady, her olive skin as soft as satin."

"Are you referring to the noble lady from the River Bend? I heard that she recently moved into Mag Tower." As he spoke, Green moved his feet, walked to the table, picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine, and drank most of it directly.

Cersei propped her cheek with one hand, stared at Green who was pretending to be calm, and said with a smile: "Lady Tanya, the Myrish wife of the Earl of Long Table Hall."

After pouring another glass of wine, Green walked over, handed it to Cersei, and asked, "Can she be trusted?"

Taking the jeweled wine glass, Cersei couldn't help but take a sip, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across her lips: "She, Lady Tanya is the eye that Margaery arranged to be by my side."

Green couldn't help but smile and said, "Since you already know her purpose, why do you still keep her in the dormitory as your bed partner?"

Cersei glanced at Green, then shook the wine glass in her hand nonchalantly and said slowly: "Margaery is just a naive fool. How much loyalty can a woman from a free trade city have? Humph, since they like to be smart, and I just happened to have a bad sleep recently, I simply kept her here, so that she can be of some use."

After a pause, she continued, "She is a mother. She has a son. She wants him to succeed in the Red Keep and will do anything to achieve this. All mothers are like this. Lady Tanya may be a venomous snake, but she is not stupid. She knows that I can give much more than Margaery, so she will choose to stand on my side."

She looked at Green. "Besides, she amuses me. She tells me more about Tyrell than you'd ever guess, dear."

Green raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter?"

Cersei sneered. "For example, the old woman in Highgarden has a chest of gold coins minted before the Conquest. It is said that whenever a merchant stupidly asks to trade in gold coins, she will gladly use Highgarden's gold to pay, because each gold coin weighs only half of a modern gold dragon."

Her face was full of sarcasm: "Which businessman dares to say that the Duke of Metz's mother is a fraud!"

“It’s really something interesting that I’ve never heard of.”

Green shrugged and said, "Once you have completely mastered Miss Margery's eyes, it seems that she will pay the price for her offensive behavior."

Cersei raised her chin with a smug look on her face and snorted coldly, with a hint of ruthlessness in her voice: "Of course, I will teach her a good lesson and let her know the consequences of provoking the Lannister lioness at will."

After drinking the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp, Green said, "Please allow me to leave."

Seeing Green was about to leave, Cersei's green eyes moved and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Green paused and said, "I will wait for you to find a new queen."

Cersei was not satisfied with Green's reply at this time, but she understood men. She knew that the man in front of her still had a little flame for the sudden ending. She did this on purpose because men like to think with their own soft worms and cannot let "it" get what it wants easily.

She chuckled and said softly, "The wedding day is approaching. This will make me unable to sleep or eat, dear Green."

Green sighed slightly: "At least you will keep me awake tonight."

He walked back, leaned over and kissed Cersei's forehead politely, and said, "A sick king cannot hold a wedding on time."

After Green left, there was silence for a while. Cersei drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and exhaled slowly.

Handsome, tall, full of power... Green possesses all qualities that can make any woman in the world fall in love with him. The reason why she was able to stop after just enjoying a little pleasure was because his black hair suddenly reminded her of her wedding night.

At that time, Robert had thick black hair that was neatly groomed. He was young, handsome, tall and strong.

That was the worst night. She could only lie there helplessly, smelling the stench of wine coming from his mouth, listening to his boar-like breathing, and suffering the humiliation from another cousin.

It wasn't him who should have returned from the Trident...

He never quite gave up on possessing her, and sooner or later he would come drunkenly into her bedroom asserting his rights as a husband.

That was in the tenth year of their marriage. She couldn't stand the drunk's brutality anymore, so she picked up her cup and smashed it at him with such force that she broke one of his teeth.

Many years later, he explained to others at a banquet that his teeth were knocked out in a martial arts competition. What he said was actually true. Her marriage to him was a martial arts competition.

He knew very well what he had done that night, but he pretended not to remember it under the pretext of being drunk. Robert Baratheon was undoubtedly a coward, and she had every reason to complain why it was this cowardly drunkard who returned from the Trident.

Cersei's fullness rose and fell several times, and finally she stretched her body like a cat. The lioness finally won the victory. She sent the Boar King away with a wild boar. May the slow-witted, alcoholic barbarian cry forever in the seven hells.

After a few more drinks, when Cersei felt the water in the bathtub running cold, she rang the bell and let the maids enter the bathroom.

When she returned to the dormitory, Tanya seemed to have fallen asleep. There was a candle burning beside the bed. She sat on the edge of the bed, listening to the soft breathing beside her.

She often slept alone, but she never liked the feeling of sleeping alone.

At first, she and James shared a bed together when they were still young and looked so much alike that it was almost impossible to tell them apart.

Later, after they had separated, she had many bedfellows and maids, most of whom were girls of her own age, the daughters of her father's knights and vassals.

No one could really please her, and even the few who stayed with her for any length of time were neurotic, tearful, and dull people who could only tell boring stories.

How could they take James' place?
Jaime didn't accompany her every night, but this time he left silently, which made her have nightmares every night. Even when Jaime was imprisoned in the dungeon of Riverrun for nearly half a year and she had no news of him, she never felt this way.

"His Majesty."

She murmured, the blanket tangled around her waist as she sat up on the pillows.

"I should have been waiting for you. I accidentally fell asleep..."

Cersei looked at Tanya. The Myrish woman's olive skin shone in the candlelight. They were about the same height, but she had larger breasts than hers.

"I talked to Duke Green about some things."

Hearing this, Tanya said with a little excitement: "This is what I heard in King's Landing. They said that the Queen Mother of the Seven Kingdoms has two swords, one is called 'King Slayer' and the other is called 'Bloody Earl'."

Cersei seemed to be interested. "No one calls Green the Bloody Duke?"

Hearing this, Tanya laughed crisply: "Perhaps they are afraid of angering someone. It is said that after he was canonized as the Duke of Eagle Nest by you, all the dead souls dared not stay in the valley."

"This is the part about him that pleases me the most..."

The lioness suddenly stared at Tanya until the smile on her face became unnatural, then she said coldly: "I have given you the honor of serving me. If you betray my trust, I will be very sad..."

The lioness' fingers traced lightly over her body, "Tanya, when the time comes I will have no choice but to subject you to the arms of the Stranger in the most cruel punishment in the Seven Kingdoms."

Tanya's body trembled in the dim light. "Your Majesty, if I have done anything that I shouldn't have done, just say the word and I will immediately volunteer to serve the Stranger. I only want to be close to you, serve you, and meet all your needs."

The coldness in the lioness's green eyes gradually faded. "Very well, what kind of reward would you like for this service?"

Tanya shook her head and leaned over: "I don't want anything. Your happiness is my happiness, Your Majesty."

Cersei's eyes trembled slightly, Tanya's lips were plump and rosy, and at this moment... she actually wanted to turn the Myr woman over like a man and spread her legs.

"Do not touch me."

Cersei suddenly pushed Tanya aside, undressed, and slid under the blankets, leaving her snow-white nightgown in a heap on the floor.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'm sorry."

Tanya lay down quietly, with her back to her, and Cersei could feel her tense.

After a moment of silence, Cersei's slightly hoarse voice sounded: "How did you end up marrying Lord Marewath?"

Tanya moved in the blanket, leaned in a little, and whispered, "My husband is a kind and generous man, but... I hope your majesty will not underestimate me. I was not a gentle whore when I climbed onto the Earl's bed."

"It seems you are very good at using a woman's sword."

Cersei turned over, held Tanya in her arms, and caressed her gently for a while, then suddenly asked, "What does the naive Miss Rose expect of you?"

As she finished her words, the Myrish woman in her arms trembled noticeably.

Cersei continued to caress, "Be honest with me. I am giving you a chance."

Tanya unexpectedly hugged Cersei tightly and said, "Lady Margaery told me that she wanted to be liked by you, so...she hoped that if necessary, I would tell her your whereabouts so that she could cater to your preferences. These are more or less her exact words."

Cersei patted her soothingly. "How did you answer her?"

Tanya's voice was full of nervousness: "I didn't want to lose the opportunity to be close to you. This is a great honor. I...had no choice but to agree to her request."

Pulling her arm back, Cersei rolled over and faced away from Tanya again.

When Tanya's mind went blank and cold sweat broke out, Cersei's voice came over.

"Tell me about your dangerous first love that you wouldn't tell me about last night."

After a pause, Tanya carefully pressed her body against Cersei's back and said slowly, "He is Captain Myr, with shoulder-length black hair and a scar across his cheek from his ear to his chin. I rejected him a hundred times, but he didn't care. In the end, I agreed to him for some reason. I think no woman can reject a man like him."

Cersei turned around and hugged her again, paused, and said, "Which side will you be on?"

Tanya's voice was full of urgency: "Of course I am yours, I will always be yours, I am willing to swear, Your Majesty."

"very good."

Cersei hugged Tanya, thinking of Jaime. She closed her eyes, but saw the head of her other brother, Tyrion.

…………

"Duke Green."

Hearing the sound, Green, who was passing by the Red Castle Godswood, stopped and looked over.

A crescent moon hangs high in the sky.

Green gestured to Ange who was following behind him, and then he moved towards the figure under the tree and said, "Beautiful lady, it is not a good habit to travel late at night."

A clear and pleasant voice came.

"Your golden robe is so charming that it attracted me even though I was supposed to be asleep."

Green stopped and looked at the woman in the dark green cloak. He smiled gently and said, "Good night, Miss Margaret."

"Goodnight."

Margaery lifted the hood of her cloak, her elk-like eyes full of smiles, and said softly, "I have always wanted to have a chance to appreciate the Red Castle in the middle of the night."

She chuckled, "Maybe tonight, the two of us just happened to think of the same thing."

Green looked around, pondered for a moment, and said, "It is not a good habit to travel in the middle of the night with only two maids, charming Miss Margaret."
