章節 362: Chapter 362
DAMON LANNISTER POV
"Your grace, please see reason. We cannot afford to continue this war with the North and the Vale. Please return Lady Sansa to Lord Stark so we could focus on the Baratheon brothers."
The King sat on the Iron throne and scoffed at him "Why would I waste my time on someone who cannot even stop a small army? If my grandfather had won any victories then I would considered your request but he has done nothing but lose against this Bolton and is now running away from the Trident with his tail between his legs. He will get nothing from me."
"Your grace. Please."
"I said no." The young and demented king scowled at him "Or do I need to throw you in the Black cells as well."
He grimaced "No your grace. I understand."
"Good. Then get out of my sight." The king said before turning to one of his Kingsguard "And Ser Boros, why don't you bring my dear betrothed to the Throne Room. Let's see how she'll answer for the crimes of the savages from the North."
"As you wish your grace." The knight who had no honor nodded and left the throne along with him.
He came out of the throne room and looked himself.
He had no idea what he was doing here anymore.
It has been two weeks since he arrived here. And everyday, he would ask the King to release Lady Sansa so that they could stop the needless war against the Northerners.
But the King was a fucking spoiled brat and a idiot on top of that.
The Bloody beast has taken Casterly Rock and the Incest spawn still doesn't want to return Lady Sansa to the Starks just so he could continue to beat and humiliate her in front of the court.
The whole thing as sickening and he had no idea why the Queen Regent or Ser Jamie Lannister hasn't put an end to this in the first place.
With how many welts there were on Lady Sansa's back, he wouldn't be surprised if the Northerners continued their war even after they return her to her family.
The whole situation was messed up and he was left wondering if there was even any point to any of this.
Why are good Lannister men putting their lives on the line if the demented king doesn't even care about them.
This thoughts were brought short when he noticed Ser Boros Blount bringing Lady Sansa to the Thorne Room.
He expected to see some fear in her eyes for what was about to happen but the only thing he could see was determination and… happiness.
Had she heard of the fall of Casterly Rock? Is that why she was so happy? Or was it because it was news of Lord Bolton and his string of victories against the Lannisters.
He had heard that even after King Robert broke her betrothal to Lord Bolton and betrothed her to Joffrey, she still continued to love Ser Bolton which was the reason why King Joffrey resented her so much in the first place.
He had to wonder what King Robert was thinking when he betrothed the poor girl to his demented son.
He stood outside the large doors and listened in for the next few minutes.
How the King told Lady Sansa about how the Northern savage took Casterly Rock and then feasted on the dead people there. How the King asked Lady Sansa to answer for the crimes of the Northerners and how she was then beaten and humiliated in front of the whole court.
At last he couldn't take all this madness and left for his room.
At was late evening when there was a knock on his door.
He opened it to find Ser Jamie standing in front of him with a resolute expression on his face.
Ser Jamie looked at him with mixed emotions while he tried his best to not blame the man for… everything. If they had reigned the King in when he was young then maybe he would not be so insane right now "Ser Jamie. Is there something you want?" he asked curtly.
Ser Jamie pursed his lips and then looked around to corridor for any eavesdropped before bypassing him and entering the room.
"I asked you a question Ser Jamie." He said, still standing at the door.
Ser Jamie nodded at him "I know. And we need to talk. Close the doors. We cannot afford to be eavesdropped upon."
He nodded and closed the door securely before looking at Ser Jamie who was now walking around the room with a resigned air to him.
"So… Casterly Rock has fallen huh…" Ser Jamie finally spoke and nodded.
"It would appear so. And now your father is trying to stop this war that King Joffrey started because he was jealous that his betrothed loved another man."
Ser Jamie did not even deny his accusations. He just slumped his shoulders and dropped down on a chair.
He had never seen the man look so tired before.
"You're right…" Ser Jamie said after a long moment.
He narrowed his eyes and Ser Jamie continued.
"We cannot afford this war against the Northerners." Ser Jamie said and paused "I doubt Lord Stark would stop the war after seeing and hearing about what his daughter had to go through in the Red Keep. But… we need to try."
"We?" he asked.
"We." Ser Jamie nodded "I'll help you rescue Lady Sansa. You'll take her to my father and try to stop this madness from escalating."
"We might not be able to stop this war even if we gave Lady Sansa back to the Northerners." He said "In case you've failed to notice, the Northerners are winning this war. And after taking Casterly Rock, Lord Bolton must have taken everyone, including your aunt Genna a hostage and taken every bit of gold from the Castle. With our gold and seat of base lost and two armies on our back, we've never been in a more vulnerable position before."
"You think I don't know that." Ser Jamie growled before he visibly composed himself. "His grace sees Sansa as his play toy and he had never been one to give up his toys no matter what. The only thing you can do at this point is rescue her from here, take her to my father and hope for the best."
"How?" he asked. "How the hell do expect me to take her and escape the city?"
"With my help of course." Ser Jamie said and gave him a small smile.
That night, he readied his men with the excuse that he'd failed to persuade King Joffrey and now needed to return to join the battlefield.
After he and the 300 men following him left the Red Keep, a female hooded figure came out of a tunnel and joined their party.
And then they were off in the night.
The men at the gates must have been paid off and didn't even bother to check him.
Once they were outside the city, they galloped away as fast as they could.
He looked at the hooded figure riding beside him and said "We'll get you home Lady Sansa. You don't need to fear for your safety."
The hooded figure gave him a blank look from under her hood and nodded before looking forward.
He looked ahead and just hoped that he wasn't too late in his task.
