Legend of the Dragon King of Ice and Fire

Chapter 354 : Empress Dowager’s confidence

The Red Fort is the royal palace in the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, located on the Aegon High Hill.

After Aegon’s war of conquest began, he crossed the Heishui River and established Junlin City as the capital.

On the top of the three high hills in King’s Landing, called Aegon High Hill, he built his first fortress with mud and wood.

After conquering the Seven Kingdoms, Aegon ordered a royal castle to be built on top of this hill.

This project was completed during the reign of Mega I, who killed all construction workers to avoid revealing the secrets of the castle.

The Red Fort is built of light red stone and has seven huge iron roof drum towers.

A heavy city wall surrounds the castle, and there are countless bunkers and castellations on the city wall for archers to shoot.

The thick stone guardrail, some four feet high, protects the edge of the city wall.

The heads of the traitors were usually put on the iron spears on the fortresses of the walls between the concierges to show the majesty of the royal family.

The city wall has huge bronze gates and iron hanging gates, as well as some narrow side gates.

A pebble square is located in front of the huge barbican.

Behind the city wall, there are many small inner courtyards, arches, bridges, barracks, cellars, and barns, which can be counted as a small town.

The Emperor’s Throne The Iron Throne is located inside the Red Fort.

There are also several meeting halls inside the Red Fort, including the hall and the ballroom of the Queen Mother.

There are some relics of the Targaryen dynasty in the hall, such as dusty black armor and dragon skulls.

The doors are made of oak covered with dark iron.

When the weather turns cooler, the floor will be covered with luxurious Mill carpets.

However, in fact, the Red Fort is not very large, and its total size is smaller than Winterfell.

But it is also one of the most representative buildings in Westeros, second only to the Great Wall.

Today, the Queen Mother summoned the ladies of King’s Landing to revel in the ballroom.

The mirror behind the bracket reflected the bright torch and filled the Queen Mother’s ballroom with silver light, but there were still shadows in the hall.

Sir Ilyin Pine, one of the Guardians of the Royal Forest, is standing at the back door like a rock, not eating or drinking, and abides by his duties.

Osney sneaked in from time to time to report news to Cersei.

The first time he came in through the back door, Cersei had just finished drinking the soup.

He first said something to his brother Osforli, and then ascended to the high platform and knelt next to the high position of the Queen Mother.

He smelled of sweat, there were four slender scabs on his face, and his hair was draped over his neck, covering his eyes.

Despite his rush, Cersei could still hear him clearly.

“The archers are ready. As long as those mobs dare to break the door, they will press the crossbow trigger mercilessly. There is also bad news. Some drunks in flea dens are taking the opportunity to rob homes, but our golden guards It is no longer possible to deal with it, and the Baylor’s Great Sanctuary is full of people. They seem to be waiting for the order of the huge sparrow to launch a general attack.”

Cersei asked calmly: “My son, where is your king?”

When the queen mother was in the ballroom, she always showed her in the original state, but she covered the marks and traces left by the birth, the third, and the child.

Had it not been for too many people in the ballroom, Osny would have been unable to control himself, and rushed to punish her severely.

“His Majesty the King is now in the Great Sanctuary, asking the Archbishop to forgive Queen Margaret.”

“Stupid! But Toman is the prince of a country. No matter how bold the big sparrow is, he dare not do anything to him. My son is loved by the people!”

After the queen mother, Osny agrees very much.

Those mobs dared to kill and rob anyone, but they didn’t move the king.

But he also had a guess that maybe the big sparrow had given the order not to allow the mob to disturb the king.

Cersei asked the waiter to get another glass of wine, and she always owed it to the Valley of Wine.

This is the finest golden wine from Qingting Island, full of fruity flavors.

The queen mother liked the taste of this wine, she drank a lot, the more she drank, the more beautiful it became.

Her cheeks were flushed, like ripe red apples, and there was a bright and fanatical look in her blue eyes overlooking the hall.

It seems that he is not worried about the sparrows’ riots.

A pair of eyes burning with wildfire, Osny thought to herself, she didn’t care about the life and death of Miss Margaret’s cousin, what she cared about most was her own status.

Musicians are playing, poets are singing, jugglers are juggling, Yuetong is swinging around the hall on stilts, laughing at everyone present, and Sir Nars is chasing the young maid on a broom and horse.

The guests laughed loudly, but seemed insincere, as if they could turn into sobbing at any time. It was a strong smile, a waiter forcibly called by the Queen Mother.

They are here, but their thoughts and hearts are outside the Red Fort.

They dare not express their true feelings, because the queen mother will execute them before the sparrow.

Some people have tried the law by themselves, although the ruthless provisional law was set by the Queen Mother.

Cersei scratched it, then asked lazily, “Is there any news from Sir Clio?”

Osny replied affirmatively: “Not yet.”

Seeing the fanatical appearance of the Queen Mother, his sight no longer dodges.

Cersei noticed it, but didn’t mean to punish him.

James is not here, she belongs to any man, she doesn’t want to be like this, but she just can’t control it.

Others can’t guess her heart, but she knows that she needs every soldier.

If it weren’t for the subtle atmosphere, she would take the ugly Osny to the bedroom and let him work hard for herself.

Cersei just asked casually about the meager power of Longshidao.

“It doesn’t matter. A few hundred people plus a mercenary will not help us. It is estimated that they will be overwhelmed by the hungry mob before entering Junlin City!”

What she cares about is the attitude of her father Tywin Lannister Did my father reply? ”

Osney has actually been looking for opportunities to talk about her problems.

“Returned, he said that within a week, the war will end, and then the class will return to the court and destroy the rebellious party!”

Cersei smiled.

“Very well, I don’t know who gave the big sparrow the courage to offend the majesty of the Iron Throne!”

Osny reminded her frustratedly.

“Your Majesty, we may not insist that the regent returns victorious.”

Cersei was very calm: “No, Marguerite is now being held by the Sparrow. Mace Tyrell will not sit idly by. Wait and see. The High Court army will give up participating in the extermination of the Dothraki. I rushed to King’s Landing to beg someone from the Sparrow within three days.”

“Yes, but the number of mobs is ten times more than our golden guards!”

As a commander, Osney was not as indifferent as the queen mother. He knew very well that his strength was not enough to last for three days.

Cersei said domineeringly: “You just have to guard the Red Fort with all your strength, and don’t care about the others. If you really can’t hold on, I have a way to make those mobs disappear!”

There is another sentence she didn’t say, that is, when the mob disappears, most of King’s Landing will disappear.

Seeing Osny’s open mouth, Cersei waved impatiently and said, “Retreat.”

“Yes, Your Majesty Queen Mother.”

Osney replied helplessly, and took a deep look at Cersei, as if she wanted to engrave her in her mind forever.

Then he stood up and left the ballroom reluctantly.

Looking at that guy’s back, Cersei snorted disdainfully: “Huh! Toad wants to eat swan meat, do you deserve it!?”
