Chapter 143 Listen to my roar
"Don't do this," the woman in the room said, "Stop, stop, oh, please." But her voice was small and weak, and she never pushed the man away.
Instead, she buried her hands in his messy bright blond hair and pulled his face toward her chest.
Only then did Bran see her face. It was the queen.
Bran may have made some noise accidentally, but Cersei suddenly opened her eyes, stared directly at him, and then screamed.
Bran wanted to roll himself up and hook onto the gargoyle statue with all his waist strength, but he tried too hard, his legs accidentally let go, and his whole body immediately began to fall.
He hurriedly reached out to grab the window edge, and then his body hit the wall hard. The violent impact was so painful that he could hardly breathe. He grabbed the window lattice with one hand and hung in mid-air.
Two faces appeared simultaneously at the window above him.
It was indeed the queen. At this time, Bran also recognized the man next to her. They looked very similar, standing together like a reflection in a mirror.
That was Jaime Lannister, the queen's brother.
"He saw us," Cersei piped up.
"He saw us," James repeated.
Bran's fingers began to loosen, and he used his other hand to hook the window lattice, his nails digging deeply into the hard rock wall.
James reached down. "Come," he said, "hold on to me and don't fall."
Bran grabbed his hand with all his strength, and Jaime pulled him up to the ledge. "What do you want to do?" Cersei asked.
James ignored her. He used his strong hands to help Bran stand on the windowsill.
"Kid, how old are you?"
"Seven years old." Bran was relieved, but still trembling. He found that his nails dug deeply into the man's arm, and he quickly let go in shame.
Jaime turned to look at Cersei: "Think carefully about what I have done for love." He said reluctantly, and then pushed Bran outward hard.
Bran screamed and flew out of the window, falling into the air. This time there was nothing for him to grab onto, and the ground came at him at crazy speeds.
The next moment, a hoarse scream sounded from below the tower, like a desperate howling of a wolf.
Catelyn Tully ran as fast as she could in the direction of Bran's fall, but it was not enough to catch Bran before he hit the ground.
Bran crashed to the ground less than five meters in front of Caitlin, his life or death uncertain.
At this time, James, who came after hearing the sound, happened to meet the eyes of the little devil's mother that were full of hatred.
Behind her was Ser Rodrik Kelso, the master of Winterfell, and a whole squad of Northern Guards.
"Run!" James had never been so panicked before, and the next moment he had disappeared from the window.
"Run?" Cersei was puzzled.
"Put on your clothes first, just put on some casual clothes." He explained to Cersei while quickly putting on his clothes, "Edd's wife saw me pushing his son down, so we ran separately."
"Why is she here?" Cersei said subconsciously, and then screamed, "Run away? Are you going to abandon me?
"If you still want to get out of Winterfell alive." Jaime picked up his sword, "You leave in the other direction and act as if nothing happened."
"I'm the queen! What do they dare to do to me?" Cersei stepped forward and grabbed James' arm.
"If our affairs are discovered, do you think Robert will care that you are the queen?" Jaime also held Cersei's hand, "Catelyn only saw me, I can kill out, and this matter has nothing to do with You have nothing to do with it.”
"No!" Cersei's grip tightened. She was so scared that she couldn't think. James was her only support. "I don't allow you to leave."
"Damn!" James wanted to get angry, because he had vaguely heard the rapid footsteps downstairs, "My dear sister," but he finally hugged Cersei and reminded softly, "Think about Xiao Qiao, Think of Tommen and Myrcella, what would Robert do to our children if he found out about us?"
Almost instantly, Cersei released her grip on Jaime.
"Run! From the other side of the stairs! You know what I am capable of. I can fight my way out, but Winterfell cannot keep me." Jaime left his last words, then unsheathed his sword and faced Catelyn's men. The guard rushed upstairs.
As soon as James was halfway down the stairs, he met 8 Northern Guards who came to capture him.
I saw him charging with his sword, like a lion rushing into a pack of wolves, killing the opponent's leading captain in two or two blows, and then easily piercing the chest of one guard and seriously wounding another.
James's strength and ferocity frightened the remaining guards back again and again, and James also seized this opportunity, directly broke through the guards' defense line, and rushed down the tower.
"Why?" As soon as James reached the ground, Caitlin's voice reached his ears.
She squatted not far from James, holding Bran's body in her hands, "Why?" Caitlin repeated.
"You came to Winterfell as guests, and we provided you with bread, salt, and a warm stove. I don't think there is anything wrong with the hospitality, so why, why do you want to hurt my child?" Caitlin's voice Trembling, eyes scarlet.
yes? why? How could he have any reason to hurt Bran? James couldn't even make up an excuse other than the truth.
Therefore, James simply ignored Caitlin's question and rushed towards the unguarded direction.
He needs to attract everyone's attention so that Cersei can leave without being discovered. At the same time, he also needs to find a horse and rush out of Winterfell before the whole city is on alert.
As long as he can return to Casterly Rock, the final result will not be much worse.
Caitlin obviously noticed Jaime's intention, "Get him! Get him quickly!" She said to Sir Rodrik beside her.
"But for your safety, madam." Sir Rodrik hesitated.
"Get him! Don't let him get away!" Caitlin insisted.
"You go notify the patrol and ask them to close the city gate and send more manpower." Sir Rodrik ordered a guard, and then waved to the other two guards around him to follow him, while heading in the direction where James fled. Chase.
"Kingslayer, are you going to leave your lover and run away like this?" A voice came from behind, making Jaime Lannister stop.
lover? He turned around and looked towards the source of the sound, only to find Cersei walking towards Catelyn, naked and held in the middle by several guards.
"Ms. Caitlin, we found this woman in the room where the Kingslayer was just now. Your Majesty, I think Young Master Bran was killed by the Kingslayer because he accidentally broke into their adultery while climbing the wall. Kill and silence." The leader of the newly arrived guard reported to Caitlin.
Jaime couldn't hear what the man was saying, he just stared at Cersei who was captured.
She was clearly dressed before he left! What's going on now?
Did these bastards strip her naked? !
How dare they? James only felt that the blood in his body was boiling, and the soul of the lion was roaring.
"Kill them all! Jaime, kill them all!" Cersei, who was caught, didn't know what she was going through. She seemed a little delirious, but the moment she looked up and saw Jaime, she went crazy. roared.
James stopped escaping completely, his anger swallowed up his reason, and he wanted to cut these bastards into pieces.
"Get him!" Seeing that James no longer ran away, Sir Rodrik ordered quickly. At this moment, he was supported by the guards who captured the queen and the remaining soldiers who came down from the tower. He already had enough troops. There are 20 people.
But they just surrounded James in the middle, and no one dared to face his edge.
The next moment, James let out a roar and took the initiative to face dozens of enemies.
In the crowd, lions roared.
On the ruined tower, crows circled.
