Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.

Chapter 188 I also have fire
Varys sat in the last seat. "Things are spreading all over Braavos about the resurrection of the dead and the White Walkers, as well as sea ice, ice dragons and giant dragons. The famous House of Black and White has since been removed from Braavos. The whole city is shocked by the Targaryen King. It is said that an agreement has been signed to give up most of the interests."

"What do you want to say?" Cersei asked.

"Ah, to be honest, ser, I have great faith in my little birds, but I still cannot confirm the truth of this information. The world is unpredictable. Rumors grow like mushrooms in the dark, and my information is not always as certain as we wish. A local peddler said that he saw with his own eyes that the dragon burned the House of Black and White to ashes in just a few dozen heartbeats, and the three-story building was demolished to pieces, which was worse than Harrenhal; a washerwoman claimed that there was a dragon battle in the sky, and the ice dragon and the fire dragon, which were bigger than the giants of Braavos, fought in the sky, and the clouds were covered with ice and fire, and ice and hot rain fell at the same time; some soldiers said that the canal was frozen by the magic of the White Walkers, and countless dead people crawled out of the ruins of the House of Black and White, bringing cold and fear to Braavos."

James smiled bleakly: "Magic, dragons, white walkers, this world is really unfriendly to ordinary people."

The Queen Mother was very unhappy: "Do you have to waste our time with this nonsense?"

Varys blinked. "You paid handsomely for these, Your Majesty."

"I pay for the truth and reliable intelligence, Varys. Remember this, or this small meeting will become even smaller!" Cersei looked over coldly.

Varys laughed nervously and replied, "Alas, if the royal court is further streamlined, His Majesty will no longer have a royal court meeting."

Pycelle opened his mouth but said nothing.

Jaime really didn't know what this royal meeting was for. Not only was there no king, but even the Prime Minister and the ministers were gone. It was really ridiculous, because the Prime Minister and the ministers were in the military camp, preparing to help their ally Frey retake the Riverlands.

However, the Duke of Mace delayed action after receiving the order and hid in the military camp. The Prime Minister, who decided to go to the expedition personally, was also in the Lannister camp and had been preparing for more than ten days without setting out.

Jaime knew what his father was thinking, but the lords of the Riverlands were much more cunning than his father imagined. Not only the Duke of Mace, but also several ministers attending the imperial court were all in the barracks preparing for the "war" and did not go out.

Jaime knew his father wanted to leave. More than once, his father had sent his uncle Kevan to lead an attack on Riverrun.

James knew what that meant.

But in that case, Cersei and Tommen will be left in King's Landing. What fate will they face?
Tommen is a good boy, unlike Joffrey. If he leaves, he will take them with him. Joffrey is dead, and Myrcella is in Dorne.
Seven levels of hell.

James thought sadly, if he had not lost his right hand, could he have done more?
He used that hand to kill King Aerys and throw the Stark child off the top of the tower. If the hand was still there, could it help him defeat the dragon?

Haha. Even he himself found this idea ridiculous.

"Say something useful, Varys." Cersei glared at Varys fiercely, as if she wanted to castrate him again. "Otherwise, you can go to the Wall to accompany the little devil!"

"Your Majesty, no one on the Wall wants the eunuch's intelligence." Varys smiled. "There is intelligence that the military camps in Bronzegate and Summerhall have been expanded several times recently, and troops are stationed there every day. The lords of Storm's End have surrendered to Dragonstone, and there should be a lot of troops that can be gathered throughout the territory. And there is the Golden Company in Summerhall, as well as Dorne."

The Queen Mother suppressed her uneasiness and said, "We should ask the Tyrells to divide their troops and have them send half of them to defend the south bank of the Blackwater River." She looked at Jaime with expectation.

Jaime replied: "Lord Mace will not agree to that. Even my father cannot control him."

Cersei says, "We have Margaery!"

Jaime responded helplessly: "Margaery is a Sister of the Seven. She serves the Seven in the Sept. She is not in anyone's hands."

The Queen Mother said viciously, "Damn it! I knew Tyrell couldn't be trusted! We should get rid of them first, otherwise they will definitely turn against us once the army from Dragonstone arrives! Then King's Landing will be attacked from both sides."

"." Jaime was silent. Once the Dragonstone army arrived, most of the people in King's Landing would defect. He just didn't come. Jaime felt powerless. Now they who occupied King's Landing were like barbecue on a barbecue board.

My father's decision is right, and the right thing to do is to leave King's Landing.

But once he left King's Landing, how would the Vale of Arryn and the Reach react? Jaime didn't know if the situation would become even more unfavorable than it was now.

They were waiting to die in King's Landing, yes.

Jaime thought of King's Landing more than a decade ago. The situation was similar to the present. The king on the throne was mad and cruel, burning to death all those who brought bad news, but he could not change the corrupt situation. The only difference was that Jaime did not go crazy. He felt unexpectedly calm.

Although his father had given up on him, he still left him four thousand elite soldiers in King's Landing.

Jaime had thought countless times about using these 4,000 men to forcibly take Cersei and Tommen back to Casterly Rock and abandon everything. They didn't care about King's Landing or the king. As long as they returned to the Westerlands, they could live a peaceful life for a while. As for what to do when the Dragon King attacked the Westerlands, they would think about it then.

He just wanted a moment of joy and peace.

However, every time he thought about it, he couldn't make the decision to take action.

Giving up Junlin might be like pushing down the most important brick in the house. Once he removes this brick, the whole house might begin to collapse uncontrollably.

Now they were on the edge of a cliff, but at least they hadn't fallen off. At least they were safe until they fell off, right?
This meeting still had no conclusion.

Cersei's anger was written all over her face. After Varys and Pycelle left, she angrily said to Jaime: "We should replace Pycelle. He's too old. He didn't say a word in such an important meeting of the royal court. He was drowsy. How can he be so indecent?" Jaime felt so tired. He asked: "Who should we replace him with?"

Cersei was annoyed at him for no reason when she heard the question: "You too, Jaime. You weren't like this before. You are the lion of Lannister! Joff is dead, Myrcella's situation in Dorne is unclear, and we only have Tommen left. Tommen now relies on you to help him keep the throne!"

Alas, the throne. "What do you want me to do?"

"Go and beg father to bring the army back to King's Landing. We, the lions of Lannister, can defend the capital with all our strength. We have so many fortifications."

Jaime was silent for a moment, but finally agreed with her: "Lord Tywin will not do what we want. I can talk to him, but it's probably not--"

Cersei's eyes lit up. "He will, if you promise to quit the Kingsguard and return to Casterly Rock—"

Jaime felt that the pair of bright green eyes in front of him were particularly unfamiliar. "I will never quit the Kingsguard."

Cersei's eyes were filled with tears: "Jaime, you are the eternal knight in my heart. You were willing to join the Iron Guard for me back then, but now you can't quit for me?"

James was caught off guard and felt the world spinning.

When Jaime was fifteen, he fought bravely in the battle against the Smiling Knight and was knighted by Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning. He was so famous that when King Aerys wanted him to join the Kingsguard, he still had Casterly Rock in his mind and remembered that he was the heir to the Lannisters.

But his twin sister Cersei urged him to become an iron guard, because in this way he could avoid marrying Lysa Tully, who was betrothed to him by Tywin at the time, and he could often see Cersei who lived in King's Landing. His twin sister only used one night of enthusiasm, and when he woke up the next morning, Casterly Rock was insignificant to Jaime.

A month later, Jaime was allowed to join the Kingsguard. At the investiture ceremony held at Harrenhal, Captain Gerold Hightower put a white robe on him, making him the youngest member in the history of the Kingsguard.

This is James' honor in the eyes of the people, and he once regarded it as an honor, but this is now James' deepest scar.

Now that Cersei had revealed the scar so bluntly, Jaime seemed to feel the wound burst and bleed.

"James," the Queen Mother sobbed softly when she saw that he did not answer, "Don't you understand that I love you as much as you love me? No matter who you marry in the future, I will always believe in your love for me. I will miss you, wait for you, and want you forever. Nothing can change us. Come, let me prove it to you." She lifted his coat and fumbled with his belt frantically.

"No," Jaime said. Cersei groped his body, leaning forward to breathe, and he reacted immediately to her enthusiasm. But he gently brushed away the broken limb of his right hand. "No, I said no."

Cersei's eyes showed confusion, followed by confusion and fear, and finally anger: "Why? If you and I stay in King's Landing, not only will Tommen lose the throne - I know, I am so stupid to come to you for help. You don't have the courage to avenge Joffrey, and you don't want to protect Tommen at all. You are so selfish, Jaime, you are not willing to consider your son, but only think about yourself."

"He is my own son, but he never called me 'father'. Neither did Joffrey." James was upset and responded angrily, "You call me selfish? I did it for us--"

"You did it for us? Don't think I don't know, Jaime, that you tried to let the dwarf go. He killed your son! Tell me, if the Imp had killed more than one, but all three of your children, would you have killed him like a man? He's dressed in black now, and you're just pretending nothing happened?" Cersei's face was twisted with anger and sadness. "Didn't you see how Joff died... He struggled, Jaime, he struggled to breathe, as if an evil spirit was strangling his throat, and his eyes were full of fear... When he was a child, if he was scared or hurt, he would always come to me, and I would protect him. But that day I could do nothing! Tyrion murdered my child in front of me, and I could do nothing! And you, his father, not only did you not avenge him, you even wanted to let his murderer go!"

"I'm not sure if Joffrey's case had anything to do with him. Tyrion swore to me that he did nothing."

"He swore, oh, he swore! In your mind, a sharp-tongued, evil, cruel little devil can't lie?"

"He wouldn't lie to me, just like you wouldn't lie to me."

"You big golden fool! Of course he would lie to you, and so would I!" She smoothed her hair, straightened her clothes, and patted her skirt, her lips turning blue with anger.

Jaime closed his eyes in pain: "Cersei, sister, I say, can't we go back to Casterly Rock? Take Tommen with us. What's so good about King's Landing? What's so good about that ugly iron chair?"

Cersei looked at him in disbelief: "You are Tommen's captain of the iron guard. How dare you say such a thing! Can you still protect Tommen?"

He was silent for a long time. "Then let me fight for you, for Tommen. I will attack Bronzegate and Summerhall. I will be your dragon slayer."

Cersei seemed to have known him for the first time: "How can you say such irresponsible words? As long as we defend King's Landing, we will be invincible!"

Jaime noticed a kind of certainty in Cersei's expression, which he couldn't understand: "What are your plans?"

"Dragons are just big birds that breathe fire. There are so many crossbows in King's Landing to hunt dragons!" Cersei said, "Besides, I have fire."

"Fire?" James suddenly felt uneasy. He asked, "What did you do?"

He thought of King Aerys's last moments. At the end of the War of the Usurper, with Prince Rhaegar dead, the king in King's Landing grew more and more terrified. Finally, Aerys made up his mind and summoned his favored alchemists to bury wildfire pots all over the city. From the bottom of the Great Sept of Baelor to the shabby houses in Flea Bottom, stables and storehouses, the Seven Gates, the Dragon's Lair, and even in the cellars of the Red Keep.

"My capital shall be safe from the usurpers!" He heard King Aerys shouting at the top of his lungs. "I will leave them a city of ashes. Robert the thief will be nothing but charred bones and roasted flesh in King's Landing, as I was."

Cersei replied, "This is top secret."
