Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 371

On the morning of the Dragon Queen's attack on Dragonstone, King's Landing was also sleet with ice and rain, casting a cruel gray on the capital full of refugees and rubbish.

Red Fort, Council Hall.

Fireplaces blaze, and conference rooms, covered in fine Myrish rugs, are smoky.

Under the chandelier filled with candles, there is a purple wood conference table.

On the top sits a little fat king with misty eyes, and to his left is the Virgin Queen, Margaery Tyrell, in a light yellow dress, fluffy hair, and a slender golden crown.

Sitting across from Little Rose was the Grand Maester Pycelle, next to the Grand Maester was Harris Swyfer, the Treasury Manager, and Boros Braun, the White Knight.

Three aging men.

Including the king and queen, there are only five people, and it can be called the most shabby imperial meeting in history.

In fact, Sir Boros, who entered the palace for the second time, was completely pulled to make up for it.

He was neither Captain of the Kingsguard nor Barristan of the stature to attend the council.

However, since the Minister of Justice, one of the seven Ministers of State Affairs, has been vacant, and the capital defense team is directly under the Minister of Justice, the State Council needs a person who manages the golden robe.

Boros, loyal to Lannister, came, and he part-timed part of the task of the Minister of Justice.

Well, he only acts as a mouthpiece between the golden robe and the imperial council, and he does not directly manage the capital defense team.

At this moment, the white knight whose cheek muscles are as slack as a shriveled eggplant is dryly reporting the news he received from the golden robe this morning:

"Just one night last night, at least 200 people froze to death. The sparrows carried the corpses around Steel Street in a big circle before carrying them out from the Lion Gate."

Sir Harris stroked a ridiculously short beard on his bald head, yawned, and said listlessly:

"Why take it out? King's Landing is short of food now, why don't the sparrows send the meat to the flea nest, maybe today's brown soup is more delicious!"

"Hahaha" It seemed that the bald old man had said some wonderful wisecracks, and several gentlemen in the meeting room laughed.

Even the "kind" Virgin Queen covered her mouth, her beautiful big eyes smiling with two beautiful crescent moons.

"Is the brown soup delicious? Can I have brown soup for lunch? I'm a little hungry." The fat king Tommen licked his lips in a daze, looking at his wife eagerly.

"Ga—" the laughter stopped instantly, the gentleman and the queen showed uncomfortable expressions, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Tommen grew more and more bewildered.

"Ahem, sparrows eat brown soup, but they don't eat sparrows, and the people who died of freezing are all refugees from the riverlands, all sparrows.

After the sparrows carried them to pray, they were sent out of the city for burial. Sir Boros rubbed his flat nose and broke the silence.

"It seems that the sparrow has borrowed a lot of golden dragons from the Braavosi," Grand Maester Pycelle's eyes flashed, "we have money and food, and there are countless beggars, maybe we should Pull him into the imperial meeting."

Harris seemed to hear the most absurd thing in the world, and shook his head again and again: "Didn't you listen to what people outside said? The uncrowned king | Sparrow!

Everyone calls him the real king of King's Landing!

Invite him into the imperial meeting, and the next moment, there will be a gathering of poor people holding axes|throwing their big|sparrows rushing into the Red Castle.

Just like they forced the archbishop to elect the sparrow as the archbishop, the blade is on our necks, let us kneel and welcome the sparrow to the Iron Throne.

Then, all of us nobles, like Archbishop Leonard, scrubbed the floor of the Red Castle with soap every day in exchange for a piece of black bread that was harder than a stone and rougher than sand. "

"The Red Castle is not the Great Cathedral of Baylor, it is protected by elite armored knights, how can the beggar army rush in?

If the big | sparrow joins the imperial meeting, it will definitely conflict with that witch.

Let the army of beggars deal with the dragon, and then the dragon will burn the sparrows"

Speaking of this, Pycelle couldn't help but chuckled triumphantly, "She has already set fire to the school city that has served the Seven Kingdoms selflessly for thousands of years, and has become a villain who violates the rights of guests. She will repeat the old ways of her ancestors and burn church armed forces."

"Cackling" Pycelle laughed like a young hen.

Harris's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "It is the Mad King II who burned the academy city, Frey II who violated the guest's rights, and Maegor the Cruel II who killed the priests, Mad King+Walder Frey+ Cruel Maegor, what is it?"

"Hiss!" Little Rose gasped, and exclaimed, "Westeros' trinity is in one, so terrifying!"

"It's terrible." Tommen's fat face, like bread, was pale.

A trace of helplessness flashed on the soft cheeks of the white knight Boros, breaking the joyful dreams of the gentlemen, and said: "I'm afraid you don't know that the big sparrow doesn't dislike the Dragon Queen that much.

In fact, after the news of the Dragon Queen, his attitude towards the Queen Mother became even more "

"Mom, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Hearing, "Hurry up and bring mom back, Coben said she can't even eat enough in the church."

The anger on old "Coppen's bastard" Pycelle's face was fleeting.

Then, he comforted the king amiably and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the queen mother is not suffering, she is just fasting with the help of the big | sparrow.

Drink less, eat less, put on a bed of sackcloth, and pray devoutly. Now he is entering a state of divine clarity. Well, just like St. Baelor back then, he can listen to the teachings of the Seven Gods. "

"Really?" Tommen stopped crying and looked at the "big" wife with red eyes.

"Really, have you forgotten? I have also fasted, and I have never been so close to the Seven Gods like that moment, and my heart is full of joy, happiness, and satisfaction."

If I didn't miss you (the Iron Throne), I wouldn't even want to go back to the Red Keep! (He fled directly back to Gaoting’s hometown)”

Little Rose squeezed out an ugly smile like squeezing a pustules.

Not wanting King Tommen to ask Cersei any more questions, Pycelle gave the white knight Boros a veiled wink.

So, the weak Kingsguard continued: "For some reason, the Big|Sparrow seems to have expectations for that witch, at least he is waiting for a price, and is not in a hurry to stand in line.

He won't take refuge on the Iron Throne unless we give way to a greater good, or the Witch does something blasphemous to the Seven.

After all, he is not out of his mind, he treats Keke like that, and helps the Queen and Queen Mother to fast. "

"Can we lure the big | sparrow into the Red Castle, and we can fast for him as well?" Little Rose said softly, biting her white teeth.

"I'm afraid that there will be riots in King's Landing." The Grand Maester said with a frown.

"It's okay." Little Rose smiled softly, as if the spring breeze had wrinkled a pool of water, making all the gentlemen feel warm in their hearts.

"Highgarden can bring another batch of grain over. I will endure the dirt and stench, and personally bring enough bread and cheese for a week for everyone who might riot. After a week, who still remembers the sparrow?" she Said with a sweet smile.

Like you did before?

The people in King's Landing are about to call you "Saint Margaery". The contrast between such a good reputation and the reputation of Lannister who fell into the latrine is too obvious.

Everyone loves Margaery, everyone scolds|Queen Lun, no wonder Cersei tried to pull you to death together.

Pycelle took a deep look at the sweet and lovely queen, shook his head and said, "I have sent a letter to Sir Kevan, and invited him to come to King's Landing to preside over the overall situation.

To deal with the big | sparrow, wait for the new king to take back the queen mother, and then discuss with the imperial council to make a decision! "

Although he is very dissatisfied with Cersei, he will never change his loyalty to Lannister. He cannot watch Tyrell surpass Lannister in fame, let alone allow Tyrell to replace Lannister.

"Actually, you're all thinking wrong," the white knight Boros interjected, "The sparrow is far more cautious than you think, since he came to King's Landing, he has hardly left the Great Sept.

And there are thousands of beggar armies and hundreds of sons of war in front of the great hall at all times.He would not enter the Red Keep alone until his safety was assured. "

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something.

"I almost forgot, because the weather was getting colder, Big|Sparrow asked me to tell me that the church needs to get the right to cut down the royal forest firewood.

In fact, he just informed Humphrey, and arranged for the sparrows to go to the woods to chop wood early in the morning. "

"What?" Pycelle, Queen Margaery, and Sir Harris changed their colors at the same time.

The scholar was furious and said, "The imperial forest is the king's private hunting area. Every deer and every piece of wood belongs to the king. This means that even the Seven Gods cannot violate the tradition. How dare the church dare to risk the disgrace of the world?!"

They are really angry, detaining the queen and the queen mother, and they can still say that they have misbehaved and violated the teachings of the Seven Gods—it was Cersei who took the initiative to pick the head, and arranged for her adulterer to seduce her daughter-in-law, and even Ask him to pretend to be the adulterer of his daughter-in-law, and go to the archbishop to sue his daughter-in-law. (Toman)

But owning the king's property is very different. Today, if you can cut down the king's forest in the name of the seven gods, will you want to move the king's treasury tomorrow (although the empty one can run away mice).

Could it be that the king's fief is confiscated the day after tomorrow, and the Red Castle is directly occupied the day after tomorrow?

In fact, the forest, the fief, the castle, the treasury, and the people together constitute the title, which is an inviolable right for the lord.

This is also a sacred agreement between the Church of the Seven Gods and the nobles.

Now, the big | sparrow is a little drifting.

Well, the big | sparrow is not floating, he has a reason.

"Uh, the big | sparrow has a letter of authorization issued by Queen Cersei, and the queen mother agreed." The white knight murmured.

Both the gentleman and the queen fell silent.

Cersei is the Queen Mother, and the Royal Forest belongs to her family. Of course, she has the right to give her things to others.

"Big|Sparrow, you've crossed the line." After a long time, a cold light flashed in Pai Xier's old eyes, and he said quietly.

Although there is no allusion in this world to coerce the emperor to make the princes, but they are all big players in Game of Thrones, how can they not understand the meaning of this matter?

Harris tugged at his collar, turned to the window facing the sea in the east, and murmured: "It's almost noon, and I don't know how the battle at Dragonstone is going. The waiting time is really worrying!"

Well, the main topic of today's meeting is actually Dragonstone and the Dragon Queen.

The few of them chattered here for a long time, just looking for a topic to pass the time.

As "Pu Pu Pu" was speaking, he saw a big black crow pass through the rain curtain, pass by the window, and fly in the direction of the Crow's Nest Tower.

"Here it is, the one who flew back from the sea must have come from Dragonstone Island." Pycelle cheered up, stood up and walked towards the door, saying as he walked, "Everyone wait a moment, I'll go to the Crow's Nest to get the letter."

　ps: Pycelle: Grand Maester in Aerys period, loyal to Lannister, betrayed Aerys.

　　Ser Harris: Kevan Lannister's father-in-law.

　　Boros: Robert's Kingsguard, but loyal to Cersei and Lannister.Cersei stripped him of his white robe because he handed Tommen over to the bandits who robbed the road (Tyrion's men pretended to be), and later Tywin called him back (probably the person Tywin placed next to Robert ).

　　James looked down on this sworn brother so much that he humiliated him as Tommen's drug tester-to prevent Tommen from repeating Joffrey's mistakes, but this job is generally performed by servants.
