Chapter 474 Cersei's fate
The queen mother in prison cannot sleep.
Whenever she closes her eyes, her mind is filled with images of horrific scenes.
Caesar dared not kill me. She comforted herself like this.
Even so, Cersei was filled with fear.
Time is passing by tossing and turning, and the faint morning light has shone in through the window.
Its daybreak.
Cersei, who hadn't slept all night, simply got up and paced back and forth anxiously in the narrow prison.
Until someone knocked on the door.
"who?"
"it's me."
Cersei heard the voice of her younger brother Tyrion, a disgusted and fierce expression flashed across her face, but she quickly restrained herself.
"Come in." She said, trying to maintain the majesty of the Queen Mother.
Tyrion pushed the door open and entered. After seeing his sister sitting by the bed, he smiled slightly:
"Old sister, it seems that you are doing well here."
"Are you here to see my joke?"
"I'm not qualified to laugh at you." Tyrion shrugged, "We are all losers."
"But we are fundamentally different." Cersei pointed out bitterly, "I at least dare to fight to the death, and you will only beg for mercy from the enemy. What a lion you are, why don't you use a dog as your coat of arms instead!"
"Thank you for your suggestion. I will consider it carefully." Tyrion said politely, "However, I think dogs are also good, at least they can recognize the situation clearly and will not do stupid things."
"The reason why the Lannister family has fallen to where it is today is because of a coward like you!" The disdain in Cersei's eyes was so strong that it was about to drip, "Do you remember the lion of Casterly Rock? The real lion."
"Those beasts in iron cages?" Tyrion was a little puzzled why his sister mentioned this, but he nodded, "I remember those lions were left by my grandfather."
"That's right," Cersei said, with a flash of memory in her eyes, "When we were kids, Jaime and I encouraged each other to climb into the cage.
Once, I dared to reach into the iron cage and touched the brown hair of a male lion.
The lion turned his head, stared at me with big golden eyes, and licked my finger.
A lion's tongue is as rough as a whetstone, but I didn't flinch until Jaime grabbed me by the shoulders and pulled me back. "
Tyrion's eyes widened, obviously hearing this story for the first time, he smiled and whistled, saying:
"You should thank James for saving your arm, otherwise he wouldn't be the first **** of the Lannister family."
"You are the first **** of the Lannister family." Cersei countered sharply.
Then she continued:
"'It's your turn' I said to James at the time, 'touch its mane'."
"I guess James didn't dare." Tyrion said.
"Jaime didn't dare." Cersei puffed out her chest proudly, "He doesn't have my courage. It's me who should hold the sword, not him, a piece of shit!
It's just hateful that the gods are blind!
If I were a man, how could the Lannister family have fallen to this point! "
Tyrion curled his lips in disdain:
"Sister, what you are doing is not courage, it should be called madness. Normal people know, don't put your arm to the lion's mouth. It didn't bite you that day, probably because it was full."
"A coward's sophistry." Cersei also disdained her younger brother's speech, "At least I dare to fight to the death, but what about you?"
"Dear old sister, do you know what consequences your 'death fight' will lead to?"
Cersei's heart rose instantly, but she pretended to be indifferent, and said lightly:
"Tell me, what is Caesar going to do to me?"
Without waiting for her brother to speak, she hurriedly added: "He promised not to hold anyone accountable."
"Did he dare to kill me?"
"When Caesar was a little baron, he dared to kill the king in public. That king is your son, you won't forget it so quickly, will you?" Tyrion admired the unconcealable fear on his sister's face, and suddenly said Turn around, "However, after all, the situation in the Seven Kingdoms has just stabilized, and Caesar doesn't want to kill at this time, so he gave you another choice."
"What choice?" Cersei looked indifferent on the surface, but the eagerness in her tone still couldn't be concealed.
"Go to the Great Wall."
"He wants me to go to the Great Wall?" Cersei's face changed, "Is he stupid? The Night's Watch never accepts women."
"Maybe what I said was not accurate enough." Tyrion explained, "I didn't ask you to go to the Great Wall, but to a village south of the Great Wall called Mole Village. Have you heard of it?"
"Mole Village? What the **** kind of place is that?"
Tyrion's face became a little strange:
"That village is next to the King's Road, just a few miles away from Castle Black. Due to the cold weather, the villagers there like to dig out deep and large basements, and live underground to escape the icy cold wind. And the night watchman... well, like Go there and dig for 'buried treasure'."
"Digging for treasure?" Cersei didn't understand.
Tyrion had to continue to explain:
"You know, the night watchman swore not to marry a wife, but as a man, there are always desires that need to be resolved..."
Cersei finally understood: "That damned village is the night watchman's academy!"
"You could say so." Tyrion shrugged.
Cersei's face turned pale in a flash: "Caesar wants to send me to the technical academy! I am the Queen Mother of the Seven Kingdoms! I am the eldest daughter of the Lannister family in Casterly Rock!"
"Think of the good," Tyrion said quietly, "you can finally see the brother you've been thinking about so much. Tsk tsk, I wonder if James will keep his oath not to touch you..."
"You vicious little devil!" Cersei cried in despair, "Are you just going to watch the Lannister family humiliated by Caesar!"
"Let's face it, sister." Tyrion said indifferently, "We have no right to resist. And what you have done...I can only say that you deserve it. Even the nobles of the Westland will not intercede for you. "
"I want to see Caesar!" Cersei cried.
"Caesar will not see you." Tyrion sighed. "The only kindness he can give you is to let you see Tommen and Myrcella one last time before you leave."
"My children!" Cersei told herself not to cry, but she couldn't hold back the tears after all.
Tyrion turned silently, walked out, and came back a moment later with Tommen and Myrcella.
"Mother!"
The three hugged and cried together.
Tyrion walks out the door, giving them a final farewell.
After a long time, Cersei opened the door and came out.
There are no tears on her face, although she is still pale.
"Are you ready?" When Tyrion saw his sister like this, even if he didn't deal with her, he couldn't help feeling pity.
"Let's go." Cersei said lightly, "But I will not give in. Never!"
Tyrion glanced at his sister suspiciously:
"What do you want to do again?"
"Jaime," Cersei said, "he is my last hope. We came into this world together, and he will never leave me alone."
Tyrion shrugged helplessly, and said with emotion:
"Oh, my poor old brother, even after going to the Great Wall of Impossibility, he can't escape from your entanglement, old lady. Please let him go."
Cersei glanced at her brother expressionlessly:
"Just stay here and lick Caesar's toes. The real lion is going to the Great Wall."
"Well, presumably a real lion must not be afraid of the cold." Tyrion joked.
After saying this, for some reason, he suddenly thought of a **** in Yidi—
Night Lion.
It is said that he is the master of the long night and the source of the cold winter.
