Chapter 203 White Knight

Heaven reaches the city.

Cersei Lannister knelt before the altar of the Virgin, bowing her head in prayer.

The coffin of her son Joffrey is placed under the altar of the Stranger, who is responsible for guiding the dead to the other world.

The air was filled with a strong scent of incense, and hundreds of burning candles lit up the hall.

"Kingslayer" Jaime Lannister stood behind his sister, his eyes unfocused.

His right hand was broken at the elbow, his hair was messy, and his clothes were disheveled. It looked like he hadn't taken care of it for a long time.

"The motorcade is ready." James said, his voice hoarse, "Let's take Xiao Qiao back to King's Landing for burial."

Cersei slowly stood up and came to her son's open coffin.

According to custom, the dead king would wear gilded armor.

"I will avenge Joffrey." Jaime didn't want to see Cersei looking sad, "I will definitely do it."

"Whose death?" Barristan took off his armor. "Four of the kings I served have died. I should have taken the initiative to lead them to death on the banks of the Trident. However, Robert Baratheon's demeanor moved me.

I am willing to serve him, but that bastard Joffrey of yours..."

"I will go," Barristan said coldly, "and I will go far."

"Then you go now!"

Cersei was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she was familiar with the man's temperament and did not get angry again. Instead, she walked forward and reached out to touch his face:

He actually wants to take Cersei and the children back to Casterly Rock to live there. As for the Iron Throne, whoever wants to sit on it can sit on it.

James was once one of them.

At this time, James finally put on his trousers with his remaining hand, but he was a little stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

"You will marry the king and have three children, who will be crowned with gold and shrouded in gold."

In the final analysis, all he wanted was Cersei. As for the three children, they were all incidental gifts, and they were gifts bearing the Baratheon surname.

"James, promise me! Promise me that you will avenge Xiao Qiao by killing that man!"

When she was young, the toad witch sucked the blood from her fingers and predicted her fate.

I really almost forgot, James thought to himself.

"Then you just let that man run free!" Cersei shouted angrily, "No matter how powerful he is, how can he still be able to withstand an army? Your hand is broken, is your brain also broken? You can't command.

Did you fight? Don’t forget, Xiao Qiao is also your son!"

An expression of pain mixed with fear appeared on the King Slayer's face: "And even if my hands are intact, I am still no match for that person. You saw it at that time, and his sword..."

Tommen is about to wear a golden crown, and will he be wrapped in golden armor in the future?

"Kill him!" Cersei screamed. "Jaime! Kill the old man!"

No! It won’t!

Cersei began to tremble.

Even if he could beat him, it would be the "fearless" Barristan Selmy.

"James, I'm really heartbroken."

At that time, the world was so simple and beautiful, and the people around me were like newly forged swords, sharp and bright.

"Then you follow Mace Tyrell. He has promised to marry his daughter to Tommen, but that Margaery has now been kidnapped by Samwell. You go to Eagle's Beak Island with him to find

Go back to Margaery and kill the regicide and kidnapper by the way!"

But as soon as he opened his mouth, James couldn't help but want to cover his ears.

Let’s not talk about whether we can beat him or not.

With that said, he turned to look at Joffrey's open coffin.

Then there was a "dang" sound, and his helmet fell to the ground.

Barristan took off his sword with an indifferent expression, threw it on the ground, and said in a sigh:

"What a glorious title the Kingsguard once was. The White Knights of the previous generation were all legends renowned in the Seven Kingdoms. Geno Hightower, the White Ox, Arthur Dayne, the Sword of Dawn, Le

Prince Vin Martell, Ser Oswell River...even you, Jaime Lannister——

Therefore, James did not dare to move at all.

The golden light shone in front of her, reminding Cersei of the Toad Witch's prophecy about her fate——

Barristan Selmy gave the two men a contemptuous look, then turned around and strode away.

The captain of the Kingsguard, the terminator of the Blackfire Rebellion, has been a white knight for forty years, and has served four kings. He has almost become a symbol of royal power. The bards of Westeros are praising his name.

, in the hearts of the people of the Seven Kingdoms, he is a legendary existence on the same level as "Mirror Shield" Savin and "Dragon Knight" Aemon.

The moment Ed Stark made the truth known to the public, James did not feel panic in his heart, but felt relieved.

Kill him and the reputation of the Lannister family will be ruined.

No!

This is not true!

Cersei was suddenly overcome with fear.

Yes, what a glorious title the former Kingsguard was.

It has to be said that Joffrey looks quite handsome when he is quiet. After all, he inherited the appearance of the most outstanding pair of the Lannister family in this generation.

"No!" James retorted subconsciously, "The duty of the Kingsguard is lifelong! Barristan, you swore an oath that only death can relieve you of your duty!"

However, James didn't pay attention at all, and roughly tore her clothes apart, asking for them greedily.

"Kingslayer, Cersei." Lord Barristan Selmy, the captain of the Kingsguard, stood at the door and looked coldly at the two brothers who were having trouble with each other, "Lord Eddard has indeed not wronged you!

"

"Cersei, what's wrong with you?" Jaime quickly stepped forward and held her shoulders.

She refused to believe these prophecies until one by one they came true.

No matter how my sister roars.

But not before you stain your sword with the blood of the king you swore to protect and become a 'regicide'.

She did marry the king and had three children.

But when he saw the person clearly, he was stunned on the spot.

Cersei's words stunned James for a moment: "Now? But hasn't my father already ordered the withdrawal..."

"It means that my duty ends here." As he said that, Barristan Selmy reached out and unbuttoned his shoulders, and the snow-white cloak immediately fell down and piled into a pile on the ground.

Cersei was still shouting curses, but Jaime lowered his head and remained silent.

He had made the request at first, but Cersei refused bluntly, saying that they were too similar and would arouse suspicion.

He trembled suddenly, then hugged the woman tightly into his arms and responded frantically.

Cersei stood on tiptoes and kissed Jaime on the lips.

However, the eerie and strange voice of Toad Witch is still echoing in my ears——

"No! Never!" Cersei screamed.

Just when the two were about to become one, the door was suddenly opened.

If the Seven Gods gave him a chance to choose between his son and his right hand, he knew he would choose his right hand without hesitation.

James didn't move.

Yes, that was his child, his bloodline, but at this moment, he was surprisingly calm.

James smiled bitterly and raised his severed hand, as if to let Cersei see clearly: "How can I still kill people like this? And..."

"No, don't." Cersei struggled instead, "Don't be here..."

He tried to recall Joffrey's face, but found that it was a bit blurry.

James frowned and said nothing.

And Myrcella...

Cersei's request made him feel upset: "Where did I get the army? The Northern army had already followed Ed Stark. Although Mace Tyrell was friendly, he was about to lead the Riverbend army.

Evacuate, as for the nobles in the royal realm, how could they listen to my order as a Lannister?"

Unfortunately, my father refused to admit defeat, and my sister refused to give up.

But now, the Kingsguard are full of rotten fish and shrimps!

Bullshit white knight!

Each one is dirtier than the sewers of King's Landing!
