Chapter 378
Chapter 355 : The Lion’s Way of Employing
The poor are hungry, but in the Queen Mother’s ballroom, they can’t even dream of food, but it will become pig food in a dirty bucket.
For a salad of apples, meat, nuts and raisins, as long as more than two hours, Cersei will let the servants replace them with fresh ones.
At any other time, these are a mouth-watering delicacy, but tonight, all the food has a seasoning called fear.
Except for Cersei who has an appetite in the hall, any food in their mouths feels bitter and hard to get into their throats.
They are not so much attending a dance party, they are actually sleepwalking.
The Countess of Gales, who is usually very active, spends more time laughing and laughing than eating.
Loris Stockworth sat shivering all the time, and the trembling glass spilled the precious wine all over the floor.
Finally, a knight’s bride could not bear the fear and wept uncontrollably.
Crying and yelling is really disturbing.
The queen mother showed murderous intent, and the disgusting necromancer Cobain poured her a glass of sleeping wine with Reese’s tears, and arranged for her to go to bed, sleep, and sleep.
She was grateful for this, but she didn’t know that once she closed her eyes, she would never wake up.
After the young girl of the newly-adult woman was taken out of the hall, the queen mother stood up and said disdainfully to the people below: “Tears can be a woman’s weapon, but the time it flows out of the eye socket must be in accordance with the times!”
“Since we cannot use swords as our weapons, we must be brave. My brother James once said to me that he can feel his life only on the battlefield and on the bed. For most women, only Only on the bed can you reflect your value!”
She raised her glass and took a big sip: “And I am different from those women who dare not resist fate. I would rather face billions of swords than sitting here helplessly, pretending to be willing to talk to you frightened mothers. , The chicken is a companion!”
No one has ever described them as hens and chickens in the ballroom, but they dare not refute them when they say it from the Queen Mother.
He didn’t even dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
Cobain reminded her in a low voice: “Your Majesty, you invited them to come. The ballroom should make people happy, right?”
“Of course, as the queen mother, especially under such circumstances, you should make joy more than fear, otherwise it is meaningless to hold this dance party.”
The Queen Mother looked at the wives, daughters and mothers who were sitting on the benches, and turned to Cobain.
“But these females, the chickens themselves are worthless, but the roosters with them are the key to the moment, and some of them will survive the battle, so I must provide protection for their women. If we can escape this catastrophe. , They will return to their husbands and fathers and behave as they think they are beautiful, and then they will also say how brave I am, how strong I am, and how to motivate their morale.”
Coben said flatly: “There is no need to pretend, you have always been such a great man, your majesty Queen Mother.”
“But courage can’t save us sometimes, Lord Coben.”
Cersei didn’t wait for him to deny it, and shouted loudly below.
“If I were not betrayed by the guards, I might be able to stay here until the regent arrives. If I was betrayed, it would become the worst case. Before he arrived, the Red Fort would fall. In that case, I dare to say that everyone here will have to Endure a little bit of insult, very moments, no one can control abuse, insult and torture.”
The Countess of Gales shouted angrily: “Do you dare those lowly beasts? These are all women! Unarmed and noble!”
“Oh, birth will provide protection in times of peace, but it’s hard to say in times of rebellion.”
Cersei sneered: “Even though you are each worth a large ransom, after crazy battles, the men who have been fantasizing about living with us are more interested in flesh and blood, and their bodies are often more interested in money. In fact, you should be fortunate. It’s better to have a noble body as a shield than nothing. The women on the street will be treated more crudely and violently. The same goes for our maids. Beautiful little girls like Miss Tanda’s maid will be treated by Wang Yuan. All night, by the way, dear ladies and ladies, don’t think that those who are old or ugly or born ugly will be let go. Drink a few glasses of spirits, the blind washerwoman and the smelly pigpen girl Just as beautiful as me.”
“Horrible, terrible!”
Women can’t accept this fact. Although they are basically not people who obey marital morals, and they have imagined being rough and violently treated by many fierce tigers, their fear overwhelms everything at this dangerous juncture.
The queen mother took a sip of wine and continued to express her views.
“I can try to coax them under the city as someone else, but those men are uneducated untouchables, and they only have Gu Xiaowang in their eyes!”
She noticed Miss Meisha’s expression and chuckled softly.
“I scared you, dear lady?”
“You little fool, you must know that tears are not your only weapon for such a beautiful person. You’d better learn to use your mouth. Once you have learned it, your own man will take the initiative to make a sword for you, even if you let them wield it. The sword is pointed at me, and I believe they will not hesitate.”
Miss Meisha is just a 13-year-old girl, she doesn’t quite understand what the Queen Mother said.
She was terrified.
Not knowing how to answer, Sir Osmond walked into the hall again.
Sir Osmond is very popular in the castle. He always smiles and comes with witty words, which is quite popular among women.
Of course, none of the women who showed him the good things could escape his back push.
Even if some of those women are royal family members.
He is very good, he will keep these things secret, especially for the queen mother.
During the absence of Sir James, he and several other men were favored by the Queen Mother, fortunately.
Female horse!
He often cursed secretly in his heart. In fact, the queen mother looks good on the outside, but she is already a mother of three children, and she is still getting older.
The terrible figure under the cover of Chinese clothes is simply hard to describe!
If it weren’t for Cersei’s majesty, he would rather go find a little pigman.
However, his performance of enduring humiliation was rewarded by Cersei.
Now Sir Osmond has replaced Sandor Clegane the hunting dog and has become a member of the Royal Guard.
This makes it more convenient for the Queen Mother to call.
In fact, if Cersei hadn’t accidentally discovered a lady talking about how brave Sir Osmond was, she had never heard of the surname Kate Black…
Osmon knelt in front of the Queen Mother with a smile on his face, his back to the crowd.
He winked at the mother, the dog, but his voice was very serious.
“Your Majesty, the devil’s tongue has been held, and I will release it when you give me an order.”
“good very good!”
Although Cersei was a woman, she was as passionate as an army on the battlefield.
After all, what she was operating in the dark was a major event, a major event that was destined to shock the past and the present.
“Where is my son?”
“He is still at St. Belle’s Cathedral, with the sparrows, Your Majesty, everyone thinks he is a brave boy.”
The queen mother frowned and said: “What he has to do is to be a living boy, not to take risks for a stinking rose! Osmon, no matter what method you use, even if you pay your life, you must let your king Come back to me safely!”
“Your Majesty…”
This is a terrible thing, Osmond hesitated, but he dared not look directly at Cersei’s sharp eyes.
“Yes, Your Majesty, I will bet on my honor and even my life, and I will definitely bring your Majesty the King to your side!”
The queen mother nodded in satisfaction: “Very well, the royal family will remember you.”
Osmond said goodbye to her, but met his brother Osford at the door.
There is blood on this guy’s armor and cloak.
The brothers glanced at each other, but they passed by without talking.
Osfree was taller than his brother and more serious, so even though Cersei was greedy, she never looked for him blindly.
As he approached, the queen mother asked unhurriedly: “What do you need to report?”
Osfordi wears a mustache, a steel half-helmet on his long black hair, and his expression is gloomy.
“Your Majesty, your loyal warriors have caught Sir Nofluor and his wife and daughter, and they want to slip out of the side door in a carriage.”
“The first traitors tonight!”
The Queen Mother said calmly: “But they are definitely not the last batch. They will be handed over to Sir Ialing to dispose of, put their heads on the guns, and hang them on the walls in order to follow suit!”
“Yes, Your Majesty Queen Mother!”
Osfordley left with a murderous stride.
After they left, Cersei warned everyone again.
“I know everyone is afraid of my methods, but at this moment like this tonight, if you are soft-hearted, traitors will spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain. The only way to keep your subjects loyal is to make sure they are afraid of you more than the enemy. I hope you remember , I have no choice but to do this.”
“I will remember, Your Majesty.”
The crowd responded unevenly.
Almost all the wine was drunk, the queen mother glanced left and right, looking for a man who was a little pleasing to the eye to stop the hangover.
But Osfrey Kate Black suddenly returned quickly, his red robe fluttering.
“Your Majesty, many people gathered in the square outside the gate and asked for refuge in the castle. They are not mobs, but rich merchants and craftsmen.”
The Queen Mother roared without a trace of mercy: “They may be spies sent by the Sparrows. If they are not, they cannot be let in and told them to go home. If they don’t leave, they will shoot a few with a crossbow. You have to remember. Live, you are not allowed to open the door under any circumstances.”
“Yes.” He bowed and left.
The queen mother became gloomy and annoyed: “It’s really useless rubbish, I really want to take the sword to the battlefield and kill the sparrows!”
Mrs. Loris Stockworth said in surprise: “But you are the queen mother of the Seven Kingdoms!”
Cersei said bitterly, “Indeed, in front of the sword, the queen mother is just a woman.”
She drank the wine in one cup, and the waiter hurried over to add wine, but she turned the glass over and shook her head.
“Enough, I have to stay awake tonight.”
Just when Cersei was immersed in a singing and dancing performance, secretly choosing a man.
Osverly Kate Black hurried in again and knelt between them.
“His Majesty!”
He said sadly: “Your Majesty, my brother Osmond just walked out of the castle gate and was overwhelmed by the crazy mob! Those beasts were so fierce, we finally closed the gate again!”
Jazz reported the failure to the Queen Mother, and she lazily turned the empty wine glass in her hand.
“Sir, your brother’s death is honorable. We must look forward and take responsibility for everyone’s lives. Don’t let the enemy take advantage of our grief.”
Her voice was indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with herself.
“Yes, Your Majesty Queen Mother.”
Sir Osfordley Kate Black injured his arm and his coat was soaked with blood.
When he entered the ballroom, many guests were frightened and screamed.
Up to this moment, explaining the reason, still left those ladies in shock.
“but……”
Osverly Kate Black hesitated.
The queen mother couldn’t bear to ask this guy who had just died of her brother to be too depressed, so she quickly asked, “What’s the matter, Sir? But what?”
Osverly Kate Black calmly said: “Your Majesty, do we need the king to guard the castle? The king is not there, and the army is easily distracted. Hundreds of golden guards have thrown down their spears and hid in a place where they can hide. Go down, we will not be able to hold it!”
“You will hold on, Sir.”
The queen mother was extremely calm, and she looked at Osfreely affectionately: “Come on, you come with me, I will boost your morale.”
Osmond, who died, was the younger brother of Sir Osverly Kate Black, and he faintly guessed what the queen mother meant.
But he did not refuse. In fact, there was always a fire hidden in his heart, a raging flame lit by Cersei, but it was just concealed by his serious appearance.
Before entering the side hall, the queen mother said loudly: “Close the ballroom door, no one is allowed to enter or leave the ballroom without my permission.”
Someone asked worriedly: “What about the women who just went to pray?”
The queen mother said angrily: “They choose to leave my protection, let them pray, maybe the gods will protect them.”
After roaring, she took Sir Osverly Kate Black to the side hall not far away.
What does the Queen Mother want to do?
Many people have guessed it, but they dare not say.
An hour later, Sir Osverly Kate Black stared at Cersei with a bewildered look.
“Queen Mother, I am willing to save your majesty your son, but…”
“Sir, now I can only rely on you.” Cersei Lannister said softly.
But Sir Osverly Kate Black is obviously smarter than his brother, so he said: “But the queen mother, as soon as you open the gate of the Red Fort, you will lose me forever!”
Cersei said that when she changed her face, she changed her face, because the only son was involved.
“My dear, now I am yours, you can prove it with your actions, Osfrey, what are you doing here? I tell you to set off right away!”
Osverly Kate Black hurriedly packed up and walked outside the door.
But he was stopped by Cersei: “Sir, I didn’t tell you to go through the front door, but the secret door.”
“Secret door!”
Sir Osverly Kate Black would be wrong, making him think for a while that the most noble woman in the Seven Kingdoms is a sow who can do her best.
Cersei walked towards him and took his hand.
