Capítulo 200: Chapter 200: Despair
At dawn, Cersei looked out the window and slowly sat up from the bed. She had not been able to calm down since King's Landing sent troops to the Narrow Sea. It was almost dawn and she could no longer hold on and lay in bed for a while.
Three days ago, she suddenly heard a report that a miracle occurred in the flea bottom in the slum area. A middle-aged man who fell from the roof and broke his leg was healed by the Big Sparrow with white light, and he walked like a normal person.
When Cersei first heard the news, she didn't take it seriously at all. She could see through the High Sparrow's tricks at a glance. They were just showing off the omnipotence of the Seven in front of those ignorant poor people and attracting more believers.
As for the man with a broken leg, he must be a pretender, working together with the High Sparrow to put on a show for the poor people.
Just when she thought the matter would just pass, she suddenly heard news that the Great Sept of Baelor had obtained the Oracle of the Seven Gods, which made her sneer even more.
As early as when she restarted the Church of the Warrior's Sons, someone had reminded her to be careful of the High Sparrow. Although she did not care on the surface, she actually kept sending people to be on guard against the High Sparrow to prevent him from climbing over her head in the future.
Unexpectedly, the High Sparrow was really restless and would make some small moves from time to time in an attempt to enhance its theocratic status.
Cersei didn't care after hearing the news about the High Sparrow twice in a row, she just asked people to keep an eye on it. What she cares about most now is the war in the North, which is the key to whether she can continue to sit in the chair in the Red Castle in the future.
What she didn't expect was that just after she sent away the person who reported the news, she soon received a meeting request from the High Sparrow.
As soon as they met, the High Sparrow said something that made her unbelievable - to send troops to Dragonstone.
It also said that the Seven Gods and other gods were showing miracles and delivering oracles in various places, and that they would work together to defeat Daenerys' army and kill her black dragon.
After hearing this, Cersei found it ridiculous. Not to mention whether the gods were really as the High Sparrow said, she was having difficulty protecting herself now, let alone attacking Dragonstone.
She did not immediately drive the High Sparrow out of the Red Keep until the High Sparrow told her that the Night King had been killed, the White Walkers had been destroyed, and Daenerys was on her way back.
In order to make her believe his words, the High Sparrow asked Cersei to find a soldier who was injured and had his leg sawed off in the Battle of Blackwater, and demonstrated the regeneration of a severed limb to Cersei on the spot.
When she saw the white light in the High Sparrow's hand stroke the soldier's severed limb and then the budding tissue at the root of the severed limb grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, she immediately believed what the High Sparrow said.
She didn't expect that there would be a turning point one day when she was waiting to die.
As for the armistice agreement?
Daenerys and the black dragon angered the gods and will be subject to their most severe punishment, but she only tore up a trivial piece of agreement, which is not worth mentioning at all compared to the big actions of the gods.
She believed that neither the Seven Gods nor the soldiers and civilians would blame her for this.
But when she told her uncle Kevan and the members of the Royal Council about the news of sending troops, they all opposed it.
Cersei simply ignored these people's pedantry. If she lost this opportunity to eliminate Daenerys and the black dragon, she would be imprisoned or killed if the city was destroyed.
She didn't want to spend the rest of her life in a dark dungeon.
Just because Daenerys let her brother Jaime, the king slayer, go doesn't mean she will let herself go. The vicious dwarf Tyrion must be wishing she would die sooner rather than later.
Ignoring all objections, Cersei sent all the warships and 30,000 soldiers in King's Landing, led by her uncle Kevan, and the High Sparrow to kill Daenerys.
Although Cersei didn't know why Daenerys and the black dragon angered the gods, as long as the gods were involved, it would be impossible for Daenerys, a mere mortal, to fight against the gods.
She even imagined Daenerys' pitiful expression when she found out that she was being killed by the gods.
After the High Sparrow set off, she couldn't contain her excitement and sat on the top floor of the Red Keep waiting for news of their triumphant return. But for some reason, her initial excitement gradually turned into impatience and even restlessness, and she couldn't even sleep at night.
I couldn't hold on any longer, so I lay in bed for a while. I woke up in a daze after more than an hour.
She washed up casually, opened the door, and looked at the listless guard. She knew that Jun Lin still had not received any news from Dragonstone, otherwise he would have woken her up.
Just as she was about to turn around and go back to the room, she saw a soldier hurrying towards her at the end of the corridor.
Without waiting for the soldiers to approach, Cersei went to meet them.
"Is the fleet back?" Cersei asked when she saw the soldiers were empty-handed.
"Queen Mother, there are ships approaching King's Landing. Because the fog has not yet dissipated, we can't see their exact number and flags." The strong soldier answered breathlessly.
"Let's go and take a look too!"
Having waited for almost two days, Cersei really didn't want to wait in the room any longer.
Following the soldiers to the basically repaired East Gate, we could already vaguely see a number of ships from the sea.
Taking the telescope from the guard, Cersei looked toward the sea. Although the ship was not too far away, it was still difficult to see the flag on the mast.
"What is that?"
Cersei had just put down the telescope when she heard a soldier shout. She looked in the direction the soldier pointed and saw a dark shadow slowly emerging from the mist and slowly growing larger in the sky...
"Impossible... Impossible... How could this happen?"
Cersei stared blankly ahead and involuntarily stepped back.
"Dragon! It's a dragon, the Dragon Queen is here!" Someone shouted, and the guards on the city wall who were originally a little confused suddenly got scared and jumped up from the ground and ran to their own positions.
"Queen Mother, let's go back quickly!" Seeing Cersei's dazed look, Merlin the Kingsguard walked up to her and said.
"Back? Back to where?"
Cersei was stunned for a moment, turned her head and looked at Malin blankly and asked.
Marin originally wanted to go back to the Red Castle, but facing the dragon and the fleet, is the Red Castle really safe?
He was also present when Cersei discussed the issue of sending troops with the King's Councillor that day, and knew that Cersei rejected all protests against sending troops and tore up the armistice agreement.
But unexpectedly, two days later, the dragon and fleet that were intercepted and killed by the joint army of King's Landing appeared again in King's Landing.
There are only more than 10,000 defenders left in King's Landing. The Red Keep is no longer safe against the black dragon and the fleet, but he can't let Cersei stay at the most dangerous East Gate.
After a moment of hesitation, he could only persuade Cersei to leave again.
Looking at the huge black shadow getting closer and closer, Cersei knew that there was no escape. She wanted to face the black dragon's scorching flames stubbornly, but when she thought of how he would turn humans into charred bones, she lost the courage to face him, and mechanically walked down the city wall with the help of Merin.
At the same time, Queen of Thorns Olenna also received the news of the dragon's arrival, which shocked her for a long time before she reacted.
"I am old after all..." Olenna sighed silently, and then ordered the general who delivered the message: "All Highgarden soldiers withdraw from the city wall, attack the nearby garrisons, open the south gate, and send someone to inform Willas stationed in Highgarden of the news."
