Chapter 39: Aftermath - Cersei’s Game of Thrones!
Late morning of the next day,
Red Keep
The entire capital was in chaos.
The beginning of this chaos lay last night when Jon Arryn’s kidnapper had infiltrated the castle once again.
The gossip was that the white-haired kidnapper wasn’t alone, but he was a member of a trained group of thieves. The kidnapper would have gone in and out without alerting anyone, if not because of some internal fighting that had caught the guards’ attention.
The entire Red Keep had been awakened by the thorough search that had taken place thereafter.
Even after the search, the night was bound to be a sleepless one for them.
This time, it was the queen.
Even bigger figures were involved in this sleepless scandal.
When the time was just shy of dawn, the queen, commanding the Kingsguards and her household guards herself, descended on the blackwater bay like a sun. The beggars at the port told later that in her royal garments, the queen looked so furious that even the waves had receded at her command.
Well, that could have been an exaggeration, but the purpose of Cersei Lannister was not.
