Cersei Lannister's contribution to the world in death was greater than all her lifetimes combined.
Considering that she only lived to be thirty-four years old, Queen Cersei's contribution to the world during her lifetime was not much. She only trained a enterprising Emperor Joffrey.
For the Lion Soldiers stationed in the Red Keep and King's Landing City, the Queen Mother's death saved their lives.
In the room of the thirty-four-year-old queen mother, Arthur found the fake Tommen, a little boy of five or six years old.
After the King of the River pretended to yell at him, the child admitted that his name was not Tommen.
"My name is Levi Lanni!" he said timidly.
According to this child's surname, he should be a distant relative of the Lion family in Lannisport. Although he has a surname, he has neither a fief nor a castle, making him no different from a commoner without a surname.
Arthur handed the big knife to the soldier behind him and picked up the child, "I'll take you to meet a few people, and then I'll have someone take you home, okay?"
Although the child's face could not be seen clearly in the dark, judging from his shaking little body, the child was still very scared.
"Okay...okay."
After Levi agreed, Arthur hugged him and walked out with the soldiers following him.
The River King's goal is the Chancellor's Tower, which has been captured by hundreds of Redwyne soldiers.
It was late at night. Among the Lannister soldiers stationed in the Red Keep, only those on duty were wearing armor. The rest were resting as usual. Therefore, the soldiers led by Sir Willow were fighting extremely smoothly.
Currently, Maegor's Tower, the Prime Minister's Tower and the White Sword Tower are firmly controlled by Redwyne soldiers. The throne room, gardens, stables and traitor corridor to the west are being fought back and forth by soldiers from the two groups.
Although there are many Lions, the news of Queen Cersei's death has spread. After the Landau army breaks through the Lion's Gate, it is estimated that these people in the Westerlands are not interested in fighting.
After climbing the hundreds of steps in front of the Prime Minister's Tower, Arthur carried Levi towards the "small hall".
Although it is called the "Small Hall", this large room is really not small. With a long table and chairs, it can accommodate two hundred people. When Eddard was Prime Minister, half of the Stark family ate here. Mordane
The nun and Sansa were working as queens here. Once the dining table was removed, it was where Arya and Water Dancer were practicing their swordsmanship.
At this moment, hundreds of candles are burning on the tower-shaped candle holder, dispelling the darkness shrouding the world.
Hopper was reporting to his grandmother and great-aunt, Lady Olenna, on the movements of the Riverbend Army. The Knight of Flowers, wearing a large brocade robe, was standing behind his grandmother. A dozen Redwyne soldiers were scattered in the small hall, and on the steps outside the tower.
The soldiers formed a tight defense line.
Little Rose Margaery, wearing a dark blue dress, sat next to the Queen of Thorns and listened to her cousin talk about military and political affairs.
Although she is not very interested in these, as a participant in the power game, she should know some important things.
"... After being reminded by the Dragon Holder, we fought our way in from the secret passage of the Red Keep. Then... Cersei has been killed, and Lord Randyll Tarly is leading an army to attack from the east gate. Our situation is excellent."
Hopper briefly explained the previous situation.
Because the Tyrell family, Lords of the Reach, did not swear allegiance to the King of the River, Hobb still adopted the title of Dragon Bearer when facing his grandmother.
"The secret passage..." The Queen of Thorns pondered for a moment, and then looked at each other with her granddaughter Margaery.
Apart from Varys, the intelligence chief, the only people who know the secret passages of the Red Keep are the Targaryens.
This makes the rumor that the Dragon Bearer is Rhaegar's illegitimate son more credible.
At this time, a burst of footsteps came.
The guarding soldiers immediately became alert, but after seeing that they were allies, they returned to their original positions.
Arthur said loudly: "This is the fake Tommen, his real name is Levi Lanny."
As he spoke, he walked towards several nobles and gave the child to Hobo.
The latter took it, looked at it several times, and said to his grandmother: "The facial features are indeed similar, but the size is much different. No wonder Cersei felt guilty and took action directly in the throne room."
Mrs. Olenna also held the child and asked in detail.
Of course, she didn't forget to give her granddaughter a wink.
The smart and beautiful Margery naturally understood what her grandmother meant, so her face suddenly became sad and aggrieved, then she stood up, threw herself directly on Arthur, and wrapped her white arms around Arthur's neck.
Although wearing a gorget and neck armor looked uncomfortable, Little Rose didn't hesitate and stuck to it directly.
"Without you, my grandmother and I would have been killed by the Lannisters."
The delicate words made Arthur's heart tremble.
Can he resist the beauty's coquettishness? If he can't, he doesn't have the strength!
Arthur gently patted Little Rose's beautiful back with his iron-gloved hand, "Don't worry, I'm here."
There were many people in the small hall, and Margery complained sweetly for a while about the weakness of her brothers and the incompetence of the family soldiers before letting Arthur go.
The Queen of Thorns had figured out all the details, "Tommen is indeed dead. After all, the Baratheon family no longer has the right to inherit the Iron Throne. Our Tyrell family has been loyal to the Targaryen family before, and we will continue to be loyal ministers in the future."
In the current situation, there is no bond between the Reach and the Lannister family, and it is impossible for them to support Stannis, Robert's true heir. However, because she is not very familiar with the River King, Lady Olenna speaks very reservedly.
.
Hob Redwin understood what his aunt meant, "It doesn't matter whether it's red or black, a dragon is a dragon. Your Majesty Arthur, we people of the Reach will always be loyal to you."
They didn't know how to calculate the relationship between the River King and Targaryen, so they spoke very vaguely.
According to the rumors, the King of the River is Rhaegar's illegitimate son. Before King Targaryen nobles him, he has no right to inherit the Dragon family. What's more, this rumor has never been confirmed by Arthur himself.
"Great, with your participation, my kingdom can be renamed the Kingdom of Three Rivers and River Bend." Arthur said.
Previously, in order to build momentum, the two Earls Tristan Legg and Clermont Piper ordered people to spread rumors in the prosperous towns and crowded villages in the Riverlands. However, this was a confusing account, Arthur himself said
I don’t know. He couldn’t just accept Rhaegar as his wild father, right? So he was vague.
His idea was to discuss it in detail after Daenerys Stormborn arrived, or he could learn from the Martell family in Dorne and use a compound surname after marrying the dragon mother.
The full name of the family is Nameros Martell, where Nameros means the bloodline of Nymeria, and Martell is the surname of the lord of Sandship City before the Rhoynar came.
The Queen of Thorns blinked, wondering what the handsome king meant.
Doesn't he want a claim to the Iron Throne?
However, doubts remained, and Mrs. Olenna still put forward her request.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you are not yet married. I think my granddaughter Margaery is a qualified queen, so..."
She and her grandchildren are under house arrest here, and it is not yet known that Arthur has married Sansa Stark.
"Ahem, ahem, well, His Majesty Arthur has already married Miss Sansa." Hobo looked embarrassed and reminded his grandmother in a low voice.
When the King of Hejian heard this, he became anxious on the spot. How could the Margaery he got fly?
How could such a big beauty and a delicate little rose not marry him at a word from Hobo?
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I believe in the ancient Valyrian gods, and they don't care how many wives I marry. For the sake of the king's stability, I will work hard, be an old farmer, and cultivate more land.
"
Arthur waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that these were minor problems.
Several people in the Rose family looked at each other, and the Queen of Thorns didn't know how to deal with it.
The scene becomes a little more subtle.
Arthur decided to go outside to chop for a while and let the Rose family decide for themselves.
He winked at Hopper, who had a fairly good relationship with him, and then said loudly: "Since there are still a large number of Lannister soldiers outside, I won't waste time. You guys, come with me. Let's cut them down."
Lion soldiers!"
After taking the sword from the soldier behind him, the River King nodded to several members of the Tyrell family, pressed down his visor, turned around and strode away.
The more than 20 soldiers whom he had selected also came out. This group of fresh troops quickly walked down the steps and headed towards the main battlefield garden to kill.
…
In the small hall, Hobo was awakened and understood that the King of Hejian still wanted to marry his cousin.
He then changed his tone, "Balerian and other gods really don't care how many wives their believers marry. Now that the Seven Realms are in chaos, even if we Margaery married him later in the order, it doesn't mean we have wronged my cousin too much."
Margaery is the face of the Tyrell family, and what Hopper means is that the Tyrell family is not a disgrace either.
The decadent Loras didn't even care about the engagement. His relationship with Renly was already a very serious act of blasphemy.
"Grandma, I don't think this is a big deal. We are all queens. How can we differentiate between them? What's more, Miss Sansa is the eldest daughter of Duke Stark. There are almost no daughters of great nobles who are more noble than her. My younger sister is marrying
Arthur is really not aggrieved."
In the entire continent of Westeros, there are only two families with a history of ten thousand years: Hightower of Old Town and Dane of Fallen Star City. Both of them are currently just earls.
The nobles with a history of 8,000 years include: Lannister, Stark, and the Greenhand family of the River Bend.
The Tyrell family, which has only been the Lord of Highgarden for three hundred years, does not stand out compared to the Starks, the top nobles for eight thousand years.
The Queen of Thorns glared at her grandson Loras, "Your brain is all focused on your ability to swallow swords. What I am struggling with is not this. Why does the Dragon Holder say that his kingdom is the Kingdom of Three Rivers and the Reach, not the Kingdom of Seven?
country?"
The queen of the seven kingdoms and the queen of the two kingdoms are two different things.
The Knight of Flowers, who was choked by his grandmother, smiled and stopped talking.
Hobb continued to smooth things over for Arthur, "Oh, grandma, Arianne Martell, the eldest princess of Dorne, is already in his army, and Miss Sansa has also been married to him. The two most difficult realms in the Seven Kingdoms have been conquered.
Come down, the West has been crippled, and it is only a matter of time before we take it down. Stannis and Aegon VI in the Stormlands are fighting in a melee. We only need to wait for them to finish fighting before leaving. There is nothing we can do for the time being in one valley, but Pei
Tyr Baelish is also a smart man. Once we have settled the Westlands and the Stormlands, what else will he choose?"
Although Aegon VI claimed to be Rhaegar's eldest son, many people knew that the Mountain had indeed killed all of Rhaegar's heirs, so there were not many nobles in the entire Seven Kingdoms to support Aegon VI.
Currently, there is only one known nobleman who openly supports Aegon VI: Jon Connington, but he is the deputy leader of the Golden Company, and the Mad King has deprived the Clinton family of their territory and castle, so his influence is far less
forward.
When the Queen of Thorns heard this, her face changed slightly, "And the Princess of Dorne? How many will he marry? Does he have enough health?"
Because of the many intermarriages between the Martell family and the Targaryens, Dorne is a die-hard member of the Dragon family. In order to gain the support of the princes, those who support the dragon will most likely marry Arianne.
They talked for a long time before the principal, Margery, whispered: "I don't care how many people he marries, as long as I am the queen. When I give birth to his first son, everything will be in our hands."
From birth to now, this noble lady has been taught that the family's interests are greater than her own interests, and her own ambitions are not small.
The Queen of Thorns looked at her granddaughter with relief, "You are much better than Garland and Loras, that's it. Since Miss Stark has married him, you must get pregnant with his child as soon as possible to avoid the birth time.
behind."
The stipulated inheritance law in the six northern countries is that the eldest son takes all.
When the king has two queens, whoever gives birth to the eldest son will win this war without gunpowder.
Even the queen's family will benefit from this for a long time.
Little Rose nodded and took note of her grandmother's words. She planned to go to Arthur to reveal her heart in just a day or two.
Seeing that the matter was done, Hobo suddenly felt that he was worthy of Arthur, so he said casually: "Anyway, we will occupy King's Landing and the Red Castle in the future. It is better to arrange for the servants and male servants to come in as soon as possible to make plans for the future."
In the past, the servants and guards of the entire Red Keep were divided up by Cersei, Varys, Littlefinger and others. Even the late King Robert did not have many considerate servants and could only rely on Lancel Lannister as his attendant.
The Queen of Thorns nodded, "When the situation stabilizes, Hobo will do this and select people from King's Landing. Loras, don't be idle. Find someone to figure out the secret passage system of the Red Keep and write it down.
Painted on canvas.”
In the foreseeable future, the Tyrell family and the Riverbend people will both play one of the most important roles in King's Landing, and the Queen of Thorns is already thinking about how to run the Red Keep.
"By the way, after driving the Lannister soldiers out of King's Landing, you will send a few earls to welcome Mace, and also bring Miss Stark here. She is the queen, how can she live in Harrenhal?
What about a place that’s almost in ruins?”
Mrs. Olenna arranged.
She already had several ways to prevent Sansa from having children.
The Rose family is planning for the future, but Arthur has to face the present.
The Lion soldiers in the Red Keep are serious Lannister main force, with strong fighting spirit and extremely high morale.
Although the news of the death of the Queen Mother spread, these lion soldiers became more and more courageous, and they had pushed back from the garden into the throne room.
