Chapter 165 The King and Queen

Silence.

Robert sat in a high chair at one end of the room, while the Queen and the three Princesses sat on a low bed opposite the King. Cersei left and right hands hugged Myrcella and Tommen respectively, and Joffrey, as the eldest big brother, was almost an adult and couldn't hide in his mother's arms, so he could only sit beside them next to the younger sister.

The room is silent, but the atmosphere makes people feel that the mountains are dangerous and oppressive. Robert silently looked at his legal wife who had a different bed with oneself, and Cersei glared at her husband without showing any weakness... Even Tommen and Myrcella, who had no idea what was going on, noticed the difference, but were too scared to ask more questions by the atmosphere. .

"What are you doing here?" the woman asked coldly, glancing at Warhammer, who the man had placed on the short table by his hand. If I remember correctly, Robert hammered Rhaegar to death by the Trident. It was this weapon that he should not have won at all. "Still with weapons?"

Robert hummed and smiled: "I was going to the Martial Training Stage to warm up, and I suddenly wanted to come and see my children on the way, so I brought them here, can't I?"

This is the residence of the children of the Royal Family. Cersei has been living here since Robert returned from the Vale battlefield. If Robert summoned her, she would have shied away because of physical discomfort, but today her husband came directly to the door. Barged in, but couldn't escape.

Outside the door, five Kingsguards except James and Barristan and dozens of Red Keep guards loyal to the king were fully armed, and hundreds of House Lannister's red robe guards watched each other.

The red robe guards eat House Lannister's salaries, and their families live in the Westerlands controlled by Duke Tywin. If anyone wants to harm their young lady or Young Master, they will rise up and resist... But The situation was different when Robert personally brought someone here: the king is the owner of the Red Keep and the parent of the royal family. He went to Princess Prince's residence to see his wife and child. Who dares to stop it, and who is qualified to stop it?

Not to mention that I didn't get a clear order to attack the king. Even if I got it, it would be difficult for the red robe army commanded by a woman in Cersei to be under the circumstance that Robert almost brought all the Kingsguard and he was famous. prevail.

Cersei frowned: "Don't be mystifying, if you have something, just say it."

"Am I mystifying?" Shouldn't it be you who said something to me? The rumors about the scandal between you and James have been spreading in the city these days. When I came back for so many days, you didn't take the initiative to come to me to explain, but you just hid beside the children... ...want to forget when I was drunk?"

"Explain? What do you want me to explain?" Cersei replied sharply, "It's just your Master of Coin who killed the Prime Minister and then defected. In retaliation for making up some old-fashioned scandal, and then the gang of idle pariahs in the market are so excited to add one thing to another, you want me to explain? Why don't you explain that you are in Red What about the dozens or hundreds of wild species left outside the Keep?"

"How can there be so many!" Robert's face turned bloody, and he also found that oneself slurred, "I'm a bit of an illegal child, but I'm not. Bring them into the Red Keep!"

"What do you mean? If your brother, who is the prime minister, is on business, he'll tell you he's caught all the rumour-spreaders! You neither The evidence didn't put me and James in bed, but aggressively ran over and asked me to explain? How can I prove that I didn't do these things?"

Robert stared at Cersei for a while, and didn't Keep talking. He came here to question him face-to-face today. It was a personal performance outside of Ed's plan, and it was a temptation. If Cersei admits it, Ed's plan is meaningless... Now she doesn't admit it, it doesn't matter, just follow the Prime Minister's plan.

After all, he really couldn't produce any evidence.

"Why, there's nothing to say?" Cersei sneered, "Why are you still here, do you want me to speak and drive you away?"

"I'm staying here. Oneself, it's your turn to chase me away?"

If the other party jumped up and slapped her in a rage, it would be normal, but at this moment, the alcoholic king rarely sat firmly in the chair. The calm look on her face made Cersei uneasy. She hugged Myrcella and Tommen tightly, and asked cautiously, "What do you want?"

"It's nothing." Robert said blankly: " It's just that I suddenly found out that there are too many people in House Lannister in Red Keep, it's time to cut some."

"Cut some?" Agreed, Don't even think about it!"

"Which law states," Robert did not argue, but coldly said: "The king wants to replace some of the servants and guards in the oneself castle, and also The woman agrees?"

Cersei was speechless, as long as oneself didn't admit the rumors, Robert had nothing to do - even if he owed oneself father Tywin a lot of money, even if only relying on Lannister to make his country stable ...but if Robert decides to cast aside all considerations for face to make personnel changes within Red Keep, oneself as queen has no right to hinder.

After all, he is the king of the Westeros, he is the king of the Seven Kingdoms, and he is the head of the family.

She clenched her fists and made a powerless resistance: "I said that there are not enough people around me to serve, but you said that I would be able to find a way by myself."

"That's right. , that's what I said. I promise you, I'll give you as many people as you want, and fill the room with people if you like."

A calm Robert let Cersei was terrified, it wasn't like the alcoholic could say it - Ed made him say it! She figured out the key in an instant. Oneself doesn't have a lot of chips now. Once she makes concessions by chance, she will lose everything immediately. She decides to stick to the front: "No one from House Lannister will leave without me speaking. ."

"That's right, there will be a garrison twice their size coming in to invite them. Whether your people are willing to walk out of the Red Keep or be carried out of the Red Keep, it's up to them to be happy. ."

Garrison? Cersei squinted, Robert, did you think it was yours!

"So proud, I think I'm going to shoot oneself in the foot, don't you?" Robert chuckled dismissed the woman's illusion: "Don't think about it, this morning the garrison commander has been replaced by Ned Captain Jory - I almost forgot to say, even if you don't change it, Janos Slynt will not help you, but yesterday he personally sent a letter to inform you and tell the whole story of your plan."

This damn Janos Slynt! Cersei soaked her clothes with cold sweat on her back, and she understood that she must not show her guilty conscience at this time: "What plan? I don't understand what you are talking about, but it's a Final Struggle who is about to fall and wants to pull some great character. Just go into the water, just like Littlefinger... Have you been drinking too much, and you can believe what others say?"

"Okay, if I wronged you, let's not make senseless things here. After the quarrel, sit comfortably for a while and wait for the guards to come."

So the room returned to the silence before the conversation started, but Cersei's mood never returned to the moment before. status.

Losing, after thinking about it for a while, Cersei was all set to lose his mind. She suddenly realized that when Robert came to visit just now, she did not order the red robe guards to attack him directly, but let him carry Warhammer into the house... At that moment, she had lost the chance to come back. Her only chance is to take advantage of the garrison's arrival, when her red robe guards are still dominant, kill Robert, then quickly control the castle and push Joffrey to Iron Throne... But now, there are only Robert and three in the house. A child, if oneself acts rashly, I am afraid that the Warhammer who once killed Rhaegar will fall on oneself's head in the next second.

"What do you want?" she asked, suppressing her inner activity, want my life? I'm sorry you don't dare.

"It's very simple, I want to prove your innocence." Robert said, "When you are surrounded by all my people, you can't get in touch with a second man-especially your younger brother, I will have another child with you. If it is still blonde, then everything is a misunderstanding, if it is black hair..."

"Put me under house arrest and force me to give birth to you like a sow!? Cersei's eyes widened, "don't even think about it, I'm dead, and I won't let you succeed!"

"It's a bit strange for you to say that, as a husband, I ask my legal wife to give I will have another child, what position do you have to refuse, and even force it to death?" Robert's expression gradually changed from indifference to fierce: "You can refuse, confess the crime in public, admit the adultery of oneself and James, and then let your father Write off the debts of the royal family and pay a large enough ransom... Four or five million Golden Dragon will do, you can pay, well, you can take your younger brother back to Casterly Rock and play as you want; you can't pay , give me a child obediently and honestly!"

House Lannister can only rely on Tywin's great talent and Casterly Rock's vast wealth, but in the case of children falling into enemy hands , No matter how good people are, they can't fight against the entire Westeros... Robert's plan is completely invincible.

This was by no means a drunken idea, and Cersei's back was soaked with sweat. By staying in King's Landing despite the rumours that continue to ferment, she's betting oneself has a chance to kill Robert... Now she loses the bet, and facing a living, recognized king of the Seven Kingdoms, no one should even think about being in King's Landing. confront him openly. Oneself should have fled back to Casterly Rock in the very early stages of the rumors spreading... Her hands around Tommen and Myrcella began to tremble, and she quickly found a key question: "What about James? What happened to him? "

"Guess what?"

"You caught him!"

Cersei let go of the two children and stood up Get up, rush to Robert and strangle him: "You dare injure me younger brother a hair, I will never spare you! I will hide the knife under the covers and stab you in the stomach when you touch the bed! "

"Then I'll tie you up while I'm fucking you!" Oneself didn't do it first, but the woman dared to ask for it. Robert's anger that had been suppressed for a long time finally erupted, and he grabbed Cersei Her hair gave her a slap, and she was slapped to the ground with such strength: "Don't think I care about that thing between your legs, even if every man in Seven Kingdoms wants to fuck you, that doesn't include Me! If Eddard Stark hadn't tried to persuade me, you two's heads would have been on the point of a gun outside the Red Keep, which round would have you still here impudent!"

Thunder's Fury, King of Seven Kingdoms It was so scary, Joffrey shrank his neck and didn't dare to say a word, Tommen was so scared that everyone was stupid... Only Myrcella cried and rushed forward and hugged Robert, preventing him from continuing to beat Cersei: "Royal Father! Angry, mother is just talking, she's always talking, you know!"

Robert stood there, gasping for breath, and stroked Myrcella's hair. Among the three children, he likes this daughter the most - kinder and more polite than the big brother Joffrey, braver and stronger than the younger brother Tommen, she has almost inherited all the beauty of the mother, but there is no stupidity and neuroticism of Cersei... If it weren't for a daughter, Robert almost wanted to make her his heir. But as soon as she saw her beautiful blonde hair and thought that this might not be oneself's daughter, Robert was heartbroken.

"Okay, I know." Robert shivered in pain, pushing Myrcella away as gently as he could: "Sit tight, wait for the garrison to come, this shit should be over..."

There were arguments and roars outside the door, then the door was kicked open, James Lannister burst in with red eyes and saw Cersei kneeling on the ground with his face covered, Myrcella crying Stop Robert's scene.
