Chapter 702
In Westeros, captives have noble privileges, and even more privileges are given to the children of nobles who are held hostage.
Or, as a hostage, they retain rights equivalent to their identity.
Like Theon Greyjoy.
Nominally he is Eddard's adopted son, but in essence he is no different from Myrcella, both are hostages.
Eddard is Theon's guardian and Dany is Myrcella's guardian.
Look how dashing Theon is in Winterfell, with Robb, Bran and them all.
Jon was deeply jealous of him for this, and Theon was also jealous of the unscrupulous father and son relationship between Jon and Eddard.
He longs for Eddard's fatherly love, but fears Eddard's Ice Sword - if Balon rebels, Eddard will cut off Theon's head.
Myrcella and Dany don't have a bloody mother-daughter relationship, Dany treats Princess Myrcella in the Seven Kingdoms tradition, and Myrcella also plays obediently and honestly a well-behaved princess.
Dragonstone responded immediately after receiving Iron Throne's letter: There is a high probability that Dragon Queen will not refuse this request, but the news is not smooth at this time, and it may be necessary to wait for the end of the Meereen War before Princess Myrcella can be released. send it back.
Marwyn didn't lie either, and now Dany can contact them through mental protection, but they can't take the initiative to send a message to Slaver's Bay.
"Dragonstone is lying!" Euron's tone affirmed: "We just hired a Wyvern squad, and Slaver's Bay sent another Wyvern squad to Dragonstone on the second day. The fool knows that there must be a quick relationship between them. The means of communication, perhaps witchcraft!"
Well, that's also true.
Cersei is not stupid, and immediately clears the comprehension. The truth of the matter: the collusion between Saint Dany and Saint Sparrow is no longer a secret. Now that the fake Crown Prince Aegon accidentally fell in Winterfell, Saint Dany began to use Robert illegitimate child. Meddle in the affairs of Seven Kingdoms!
Saint Sparrow is simply executing Saint Dany's secret order.
After all, this is Iron Throne first under the heavens!
Saint Dany vowed not to provoke a civil war, but he must have been thinking about how to take Queen Cersei, the emperor of all ages, from the throne.
"It's Daenerys, she's the one who instigated High Sparrow to find Robert's son!" Both were shocked and angry.
"It's very possible," Euron said with a look of shock and admiration. "My dear, you are so smart to see through Daenerys' conspiracy at a glance, but it's a pity that the ministers were deceived by her."
>"I'm going to kill her!"
"My Queen, I will firmly support any decision you make, but she's still too far from us..." Euron sighed softly .
Cersei immediately said: "High Sparrow is close at hand..."
"It's just..." She just said a cruel word, she hates it. There was an instant hesitation on fiercely's face.
"Ai, High Sparrow still can't move!" she said helplessly.
Euron held his wife's cheeks tenderly and looked into her eyes, as if instilling strong mental strength for her, "You are the Queen, the law, the destiny of the Seven Kingdoms, what can you do? Matter!"
"But there is a Mother behind him..." The Queen of Destiny hesitated.
"My dear, your enemy is High Sparrow only, and Church has nothing to do with your personal feud.
You think about it, High Sparrow colluded with Daenerys to take your throne. Is it possible that Mother would allow it?"
"No, Mother will not!" Cersei was full of energy, clenched his fists, and said excitedly: "I have been studying "Seven-Pointed Star" recently, the book The above clearly stated that faith belongs to The Seven, and secular kingship belongs to the King.
The Seven does not support Church's participation in the politics of the Seven Kingdoms, High Sparrow and Daenerys are both sinners who violate the teachings of The Seven!"
"I'm going to clean up the Church First Scum for Mother!" Cersei shouted, throwing a fist.
After shouting the slogan, she will call the soldiers to Great Sept.
Euron stopped her and persuaded: "High Sparrow is too inspiring, I'm afraid he can't be judged by normal means."
"I didn't plan to judge him, I was Lead soldiers to encircle Sparrow." Cersei said as it should be by rights.
"Uh, bloodbath the Great Sept?" Euron was stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "The entire King's Landing will riot, and the soldiers will not dare!"
"I'm again You're not stupid, how could you do something like that?" Cersei gave her husband an angry look, and said, "When High Sparrow appears in the square, I'll let Robert Strong lead an all-out attack, kill High Sparrow, and also. Just kill him.
And then announce that he has turned his back on The Seven, trying to control the crime of changing the throne, is this enough to appease the Seven Kingdoms nobles?"
"hehe, nobles to High Sparrow The hatred is not much less than mine. As long as the nobles are appeased, even if the civilians riot, I am not afraid." Cersei said proudly.
"High Sparrow is protected by the beggar army, so you may not succeed." Euron's eyes flashed, he leaned close to Cersei's ear, and said in a low voice, "It's better to murder a person with a borrowed knife first, and then abandon it. one's benefactor after achieving one's goal..."
So, so, so, the Husband, the No. 1 best in Seven Kingdoms, presents a brilliant plan for the Eternal Emperor.
"Okay! Darling, you are my Septon Barth!"
After listening to Euron's strategy, Cersei flushed with excitement, and he didn't think he was covered with burn scars His ugly face was terrifying, so he put red lips on it, and Euron responded enthusiastically...
In the early morning of the second day, Euron led ten thousand Ironmen to leave King's Landing and went to Duskendale to pursue and retreat. the Vale army.
Cersei has been very devoutly staying in the Queen Mother's little Sept since the morning, praying to Mother.
In the morning of the third day, High Sparrow habitually stood on the Scripture Lecture stage and explained "Seven-Pointed Star" to the believers in the square below.
"whiz whiz whiz—" With a screeching sound that pierced the air, High Sparrow suddenly found the sky above his head shrouded in shadows.
When he looked up in doubt, he saw three huge water tanks falling from the sky, and at a higher place, there were three Wyverns soaring.
"The Seven is up - BOOOOM!"
Three giant green flames bloom around the Scripture Lecture stage like a giant mouth from Hell, linking Saint Sparrow with Dozens of believers and little Sparrow were all swallowed up.
"ahhhh - The Seven!"
Thousands of believers absolutely and Septon couldn't believe what was happening in front of them. Pointless wailing.
"Kill the blasphemers and avenge High Septon!" the one-armed hero Lancel roared fiercely.
"blasphemy, blasphemy, blasphemy, blasphemy!"
Gradually, starting with a group of beggar troops, all believers in the square, whether civilians or nobles, held high Right fist, sad and angry roar.
"The Blasphemer is Cersei!" The one-armed hero killed his relatives righteously. In front of The Seven and his family, he chose The Seven without the slightest hesitation.
Indeed, the murder of High Septon in front of countless believers during Mass is too appalling and beyond the tolerance limit of any devout believer.
"Kill the Blasphemer Cersei!"
Tens of thousands of outraged believers, and the people of King's Landing who learned about it, grandiose rushed to the Red Keep.
But Cersei was well prepared. Before the rioting believers of The Seven approached the gate of the Red Keep, dozens of fast horses rushed out of the Red Keep and shouted along the street: "Wyvern mercenary group Break your oath, rob the Red Keep treasury and run away!"
Well, the so-called Wyvern mercenary group is the mercenary group composed of the five Wyverns of the Allied Forces.
Euron defines them as mercenaries on the other side of the Narrow Sea, but this mercenary group is more lofty, riding not a horse, but a Wyvern.
"The mercenary is unrighteous and betrays the employer."
"The mercenary from the Narrow Sea Alliance Against the Dragonmother finds out that the Dragon Queen of Slaver's Bay has a close relationship with the High Sparrow and blatantly broke his oath , attack Queen Cersei, and murder the great Saint Sparrow!"
"High Sparrow is Dragon Queen's spokesperson in Westeros, the Allies are coming for revenge!"
"Allied Wyvern squad camouflage Formed a mercenary group and repeatedly violated Queen Cersei's will, first set fire to Dragonstone and then killed High Septon."
"In the eyes of the Allies, both Dragonstone and High Sparrow were part of the Dragon Queen's power in Westeros, and High Septon was killed by The Dragon Queen is implicated!"
The believers who were preparing to attack the Red Keep were stunned.
They didn't believe it at first, how could it be such a coincidence that the Wyvern squad murdered High Septon with the forefoot, and the Whore Queen Dowager then announced that the "Wyvern mercenary group" betrayed oneself.
What if we were fools?
But it doesn't seem like it's the first time the Wyvern squad has violated orders.
For example, bombing Dragonstone.
Some time ago, after Marwyn's letter was sent to King's Landing, Iron Throne also issued a public statement: The actions of the mercenary group do not represent Iron Throne, and Queen Cersei expressed deep concern and apology for the tragedy on Dragonstone .
"I swear, give me time, and I will give you an explanation."
In the Red Keep, Cersei replied in the face of pressing questions from nobles and ministers.
Then on the third day, she really gave everyone an explanation: one Wyvern corpse, two Wyvern wounded by arrows, and three Wyrmrider heads.
King's Landing was silent.
Septons who lost their leaders not knowing what to do.
The aristocrats quietly raised their thumbs: Whore Queen Dowager finally has a brain this time!
——it is known, this is your conspiracy, but you dare to be such a yin allied army, and also involve the Dragon Queen, we have to admire your means and courage!
After all, everyone loves Mother, but they really hate High Sparrow, who has been encroaching on the rights of the nobles.
Afterwards, Euron led the army to return urgently, and persuaded his wife: "The nobles are stabilized, you have to appease the people and Church.
Church has three thousand Warrior's Sons and tens of thousands of them. Poor Fellows, in case of riot..."
"If you dare to riot, I will kill them all!" Cersei said fiercely.
"It's not enough to kill them all. King's Landing now has at least 200,000 Poor Fellows. Why don't you take a step back and give them an explanation and an explanation to Mother." Euron said in a faintly voice.
"How to do it?"
Euron's eyes flashed a strange color, and his voice was like milk with honey added: "It is announced to the public that for the death of High Sparrow, Your heart is uneasy, and you are willing to stay in the Queen Dowager's Tower behind closed doors, fasting and praying to Mother for three years to atone for the sin of oversight."
"Fasting and praying for three years?" Cersei's eyes widened , looking at her husband's eyes is like looking at a big idiot.
"Hey, close the door to the Red Keep, who knows, who can stop you from eating? It's just a gimmick. Normally, what you eat is what you eat when you fast."
"Still behind closed doors?"
"Didn't you stay in Queen Dowager's Tower all the time?"
Cersei shook his head vigorously, and said repeatedly: "I have to go before I'm going to have a meeting in the Hall, I'm going to have a dance at Maegor's Holdfast, I'm going to hunt on horseback, and I'm going to listen to a play by Archmaester Walgrave."
Euron pulled Cersei onto the balcony and pointed to the darkness below Aegon's High Hill A crowd of demonstrators screamed, "Look, half the city is full of rioters, 100,000, 200,000, 300,000... They all want your life."
