Chapter 201: Dying

When Daenerys came to Westeros, Olenna wanted to lead her troops out of King's Landing to join Daenerys, but she was watched closely by Cersei.

When she heard that Daenerys and her black dragon had angered the gods and were about to be killed by mortal armies sent down by the gods, Olenna wavered in her idea of ​​serving Daenerys.

When Cersei asked all the Highgarden troops defending King's Landing to follow the High Sparrow to kill Daenerys, she only left two thousand soldiers symbolically for safety reasons.

Everything she did was seen by Varys and would also be heard by Daenerys. She could only hope that this act of remedying the situation could help the Tyrell family keep Highgarden.

Olenna once again regretted her decision.

Outside King's Landing, Drogon flew over the city wall, looked at the East Gate which had been basically repaired, went down and gave it another breath of burning black flames, and a few seconds later the tower collapsed again.

After burning down the city tower, Drogon did not continue to burn the city wall, but flew towards the scorpion crossbows that were shot at him.

Behind him followed Brother Long and Sister Long, as he didn't want them to face the dense web of arrows.

After circling the city wall and burning more than a dozen ballistas, Drogon flew back to the warship where Daenerys was, and left the siege mission to the two dragons and soldiers.

When they saw Drogon's three dragons, some of the guards on the city wall had already thought of escaping. After witnessing the black dragon's strong defense against crossbow arrows, they also knew that most of the defenders in the city had been withdrawn.

Knowing that facing the dragon means suicide, how can they have the courage to persevere?

After Drogon burned more than a dozen scorpion crossbows, some soldiers began to flee down the city wall, and only a few scorpion crossbows were still shooting at Rhaegal and Viserion.

But when they shot several arrows in succession and the two dragons dodged them, they lost confidence in the scorpion crossbow. In addition, the two dragons were constantly burning the scorpion crossbows, and more and more soldiers fled.

When the burning rocks from Daenerys' fleet hit the walls of King's Landing, the guards who were still defending the city were also knocked off the wall, without even being able to launch an effective counterattack against the fleet.

As they approached King's Landing, the soldiers who were gathering their strength to attack the city were shocked to find that apart from the first few arrows shot sporadically into the sea, there were actually very few soldiers on the city walls. They all felt like they were punching a sponge.

The vanguard cleared the east gate at the mouth of the Blackwater River and confirmed that there were no ambushing King's Landing soldiers in the city before allowing Daenerys to disembark and enter King's Landing.

Looking at the tall and thick walls of King's Landing, Daenerys did not expect that she would enter the capital of the Seven Kingdoms so soon.

More than three hundred years ago, the ancestor conqueror Aegon set foot on the continent of Westeros from here and started the war of conquest.

At this time, King's Landing was already in chaos, with nobles and civilians running around everywhere.

Seeing the panicked citizens of King's Landing, Drogon knew that they were afraid of being robbed, persecuted, or even raped, but the four city gates had already been blocked, so where could they escape to?

Daenerys had already issued several bans, strictly prohibiting burning, killing and looting. If violated, the punishment would be very severe. The Dothraki should have arrived at Harrenhal, and they might not know that King's Landing had been captured.

Without them taking the lead in violating the ban on looting, the Dragonstone soldiers entering King's Landing would have felt much safer.

Stepping onto the wide streets of King's Landing, Daenerys, accompanied by Tyrion and other ministers, and the Unsullied guards clearing the way, walked towards the Red Castle built on Aegon's High Hill.

On the top floor of the Red Keep, looking at Daenerys and others walking towards the Red Keep, Cersei didn't expect that this day would come sooner than she expected.

For a moment she thought this day would never come and she would just sit like this forever, but...

She once owned the most prosperous city in the world, gained the loyalty of most of the lords of the seven countries, and commanded an army of hundreds of thousands. She never thought that there would be a day when she would lose all these.

All of this was taken away by the woman who suddenly came from a foreign land. No! Not that woman, but him!

Turning her eyes to Drogon who was sitting on Daenerys's shoulder and looking around, Cersei's originally blank eyes suddenly showed hatred.

If it wasn't for him, how could he have been defeated by a young girl who was only a few years older than his son Joffrey?

Why did dragons exist in this world? They shouldn't exist in this world. Why did they appear at this time after being extinct for more than a hundred years?

Looking at Drogon, Cersei's heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Drogon, who was watching the chaos around him, suddenly felt a murderous intent coming towards him. He looked up and saw Cersei on the top floor of the Red Castle in the distance, with eyes full of resentment.

Drogon didn't expect that he would incite Cersei's hatred so much. She didn't forget to stare at him even when she was about to die. He only burned down the East Tower twice!

After taking one look at Cersei's murderous gaze, Drogon ignored her and continued to watch the chaotic King's Landing. It would be difficult to see it again in the future.

"Queen Mother!" Seeing that Cersei was unwilling to leave the top floor of the Red Castle, Qyburn couldn't help but want to persuade her again.

"Maester Qyburn, please leave first! I want to be alone." Cersei said without turning her head.

"Queen Mother..." Koben hesitated and was unwilling to leave.

"Get out!" Cersei repeated again. Qyburn hesitated for a moment before turning around and walking out of the room.

Closing her eyes, Cersei took a deep breath, as if to keep the scent of the Red Keep in her mind.

Slowly opening her eyes and looking at Daenerys who was getting closer and closer to the Red Castle, Cersei took out an exquisite vial from her arms.

This was the stone scorpion venom that she almost fed to her son Tommen. Unexpectedly, the stone scorpion venom that she left behind because of her father Tywin's support was eventually used on herself.

Thinking of his father Tywin, a trace of regret slowly emerged in his heart. If his father were still alive, King's Landing might not become what it is now.

Just thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Drogon again. With him around, even her father Tywin might be powerless!

This time, his eyes were filled with not only hatred, but also a hint of frustration.

Watching Daenerys and her companions gradually disappear from her sight, Cersei opened the cork of the bottle, tilted her head back and poured all the liquid in the bottle into her mouth.

The poison didn't cause much pain when taken, but it took effect very quickly, and black blood was already flowing from the corners of Cersei's mouth.

Feeling the life slowly slipping away, Cersei suddenly felt reluctant, "Jaime, Myrcella, Tommen..." She knew the source of the reluctance and shouted it out like a raving, tears instantly falling from the corners of her eyes. Jaime didn't even know that he had...

With a bang, the vial fell to the ground and shattered. The door was pushed open with a clang, and Qyburn rushed to Cersei with a painful look on his face.

Looking at her blue face and the black blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, Qyburn shouted "Queen Mother" and knelt down in front of Cersei.

A few minutes later, Qyburn had just stood up from the ground when Daenerys led her men to the top of the Red Keep.

After giving Daenerys and the others a cold look, he began to carefully wipe the black blood from the corner of Cersei's mouth.

Looking at Cersei sitting lifeless in the chair, Daenerys's original anger towards her gradually dissipated, and she let Qyburn clean up her remains.
