Chapter 476: Jaime Lannister

Since the bloodless fall of King's Landing, Jaime Lannister sought an opportunity to leave the city.

However, he did not return to Casterly Rock as others expected, but instead prepared to journey to the eastern continent.

Heartbroken after the betrayal by his sister and brother, and knowing well the difficulty of waging war against dragons as a military commander, Jaime had lost faith. He did not believe his father could hold Casterly Rock, so he decided to leave Westeros entirely and wander the vast world.

But Blackwater Bay was blockaded by the Targaryen fleet, and the gold cloaks were searching for him everywhere. A high bounty was placed on Jaime, so after leaving King's Landing, he headed south, seeking another port to set sail.

He disguised himself, assuming a false name, and successfully boarded a merchant ship bound for the unknown lands of Essos.

Tyrion had originally wanted to capture his older brother and send him to the east, but a misunderstanding between the two brothers ironically led to this result. Jaime finally embarked for the east.

The fleet floated on the sea for a long time. At first, Jaime diligently kept track of each day, harboring beautiful dreams for the future.

But with the prolonged and tedious months at sea, accompanied by occasional harsh weather, the once-handsome and dashing golden-haired knight became disheveled.

Without disguise, no one could recognize the infamous 'Kingslayer,' Ser Jaime Lannister.

During a storm, the fleet was battered by the raging waves. Jaime, braving the rain, was struck down by a massive wave and fainted after hitting his head on a water-filled barrel. Thankfully, the dark-skinned captain from Braavos saved him in time.

Otherwise, no one would believe that the 'Kingslayer' had died so quietly at sea.

After a long, weary voyage, the fleet finally reached its destination.

Woo—

From afar, the majestic Titan of Braavos roared, a sound heard every time a ship passed, warning the hidden city behind the Titan.

"This is the Titan of Braavos!" declared the proud dark-skinned captain from Braavos, facing the awestruck foreigners. "'Long-Leg' Lomas's one of the nine man-made wonders! The gods made seven wonders, but men made nine! But to me, the Titan is the first among them. The other wonders may stink like rotten fish, but..."

The dark-skinned captain from Braavos boasted, but noticed that his crew from Braavos was also agape, displaying an incredulous look. They had seen the Titan many times before.

"Hey, what's wrong with you lads? Did I say something wrong?" he scratched his head, only to see one of the crew pointing behind him.

"What?"

The captain turned, and as the ship floated quietly towards the Titan, he saw the majestic figure still standing tall, sword raised.

But its head was missing.

"Where's the head?"

"By the gods, where is the Titan's head?!"

The dark-skinned captain clutched his head, unable to believe his eyes. He hadn't received news of what had happened in Braavos.

"Phew~"

In the crowd, Jaime overheard the captain and crew's conversation and breathed a sigh of relief.

He had just looked at the headless Titan and thought that the legendary figure had no head. It appeared rather terrifying.

He then turned to look behind him, across the endless sea. That's where he came from, where things had happened that he would never forget.

Cersei, Tyrion, Father, Casterly Rock.

Now, the once tall and handsome, golden-haired 'Kingslayer' Ser Jaime Lannister, looked greasy and grey-haired, his handsome face covered in stubble. Only his bright, sharp eyes remained, his smile as cutting as a blade.

The fleet orderly passed the Titan and the ruins of the armory, reaching the Ragman's Harbor for inspection by the Braavosi customs officials. This process often took half a day.

Those like Jaime Lannister who had paid for passage were not crew and were free to disembark after inspection.

"I owe you my life."

"I'll repay it someday."

Dressed in tattered clothing and wearing a ragged cloak and hood, Jaime approached the dark-skinned captain, speaking solemnly.

But the captain, still immersed in his grief over the Titan's head, did not respond. Jaime walked past him without a backward glance, stepping off the ship.

Jaime thought that he had safely escaped the perilous King's Landing, and in his current state, even if he returned, no one would recognize him. In Braavos, there should be no danger.

However, he didn't expect that just after stepping off the ship, someone blocked his way.

"A man called the 'Kingslayer,' Jaime Lannister."

The disheveled and unkempt

golden-haired knight suddenly stopped in his tracks.
