Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

After a brief absence, Sansa Stark woke up:

"Quick! Go stop her!"

"What are you going to do to stop a crazy woman?"

"Don't we do anything?" Sansa picked up her skirt and ran towards the stairs without looking back, "Hurry up and evacuate the people in Maegor's Tower!"

After walking a few steps, when she turned around, she saw that Sandor Clegane did not go to the throne room at all, but followed.

"Why are you following me? Hurry up and evacuate..."

"What can you do to find Cersei alone?" Sandor said, "And how dare those lords and ladies in the throne room leave Maegor's Mansion at this time? The ghouls outside have not been cleaned up, and they may die if they go out .”

"Then inform the guards..."

"You really think of yourself as the savior?" Sandor said, "Believe me, the only chance to survive now is to leave the Red Castle. With my protection, those ghouls outside will not harm you."

For a moment, Sansa almost agreed to go with Sandor.

She could feel that this ugly, fierce hunting dog actually had a soft heart, and he really wanted to protect himself.

But Sansa still gritted her teeth and refused:

"I can't go. My sister is still here, and there are so many northern nobles..."

Sandor muttered angrily:

"You Starks really are all fools who don't want to die."

Sansa ignored the words and did not drive Sandor away again. She also realized that even if she rushed to the basement alone, she could not stop Cersei.

With the Hound around, there was at least a glimmer of hope.

The two went all the way down the spiral staircase, and soon entered the cellar of Maegor's Mansion.

It's dark, damp, and chilly here.

Sansa came in a hurry and didn't prepare a torch at all. At this time, she could only grope forward in the dark.

In fact, the darkness is not terrible, but the fire that may erupt is what really scares people.

Knowing that Cersei might light a wildfire at any time and burn down the entire Maegor House, not everyone has the courage to stop it.

Sansa herself was very surprised. When she heard the news, she actually had the courage to come down.

"You are a brave girl." Sandor's hoarse voice suddenly sounded, "You are not the same girl who was bullied by Joffrey and cried at the banks of the Trident River."

"I'll grow up, too!" Sansa said, puffing her cheeks. "And I'm actually full of fear, too."

"How can a man be so brave when he is afraid?"

"A man can only be brave when he is afraid," Sansa said. "That's what my father said."

Sandor's voice was not heard for a long time.

wheeze -

Orange flames suddenly lit up in the cellar, dispelling the darkness but terrifying Sansa.

"You scared me to death!" She looked back and found that it was Sandor who lit the torch, and she was relieved. "I thought it was Cersei who lit the wildfire."

"Wildfire is green," Sandor said.

Sansa blushed a little, but immediately asked: "Since you took the torch, why didn't you light it before?"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!" Sandor urged.

Sansa saw that his hands were shaking and that he was holding the torch high and far away from her, and she realized that the Hound was afraid of fire.

It turned out to be like this.

She didn't speak anymore, and just walked forward.

Not long after, Sansa saw a faint light coming from ahead, and at the same time, the voice of someone talking.

After walking a few steps closer, I realized that it was two people arguing.

"... Please believe me, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager. The storm outside has stopped and we are saved. There is no need for you to light wildfires!"

"Osmund Kettleblack, you coward! Just now you looked like you were going to die generously with me, why did you lose your courage in a blink of an eye?"

"Just now... didn't I think I was going to die...but it's different now. Really, I didn't lie to you! No, go out and see for yourself, the army of ghouls has really been completely suppressed, and it won't be long before All wiped out."

"Then I won't go out either! I will never bow to Caesar!"

"Why! Who? Who's there?" Osmond noticed footsteps in the passage.

Seeing that she was discovered, Sansa stopped hiding altogether.

"Sansa Stark, and Sandor?" Cersei snorted softly, "Why are you back, you stupid dog who is afraid of death?"

"Your Majesty, everything is over. There is no need for you to do this." Sansa said.

At this time, Cersei was wearing a snow-white linen dress, as white as the robes of the Kingsguard, with long sleeves revealing gold silk underlayment, thick bright yellow curly hair hanging on her bare shoulders, and a slender necklace hung around her slender neck. Necklace with diamonds and emeralds.

This white dress gave her a strange innocence, like a girl waiting to be married. Compared with Sansa, it is not inferior at all.

It's just a pity that she has a mouth:

"I don't need you to teach me how! That coward Tyrion can surrender, but I won't! Father wouldn't surrender if he were alive! A lion never bows his head!"

"Think of your daughter Myrcella," Sansa persuaded, "she is also in Maegor's Tower. And your son Tommen, if you burn those northern nobles, Caesar will surely use Lannister blood to repay this debt! At that time, no one will intercede for you."

"Why does a lion need mercy!" cried Cersei, holding her torch aloft.

Behind her, the canisters of wildfire exuded a faint green gleam, which looked thrilling.

"Caesar wants to sit on the Iron Throne, but I won't let him! I'm going to burn Maegor Tower and turn the Iron Throne into a pool of molten iron!

I hate that my stupid brother almost used up the wildfire in King's Landing to deal with Stannis before, and now there is only this little left, otherwise I could turn the whole city of King's Landing into ashes! "

"You are crazy." Sansa said, "You are as crazy as the mad king back then."

"Anyone goes mad after betrayal and humiliation," Cersei cried. "Caesar will never bring me to my knees! And you traitors! All go to hell with me!"

As she spoke, she threw the torch in her hand at the pot containing wildfire.

"No!" Sansa, Sandor, and Osmondzizi exclaimed.

But they didn't expect Cersei to be so decisive. For a while, they could only watch the torches smashed into the wildfire.

Sansa closed her eyes in despair, as if she had seen the scene of green flames erupting violently.

But after waiting for a while, the expected burning flames did not come.

She opened her eyes cautiously, but saw a thin figure appearing beside the wildfire pot at some point, just in time to catch the torch thrown by Cersei.

"Arya!" Sansa could hardly believe her eyes, "Why are you here?"

Is this the guidance of the gods?

Arya said with a smile:

"I followed that fat spider."
