Looking at the somewhat agitated Cersei, Jaime frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"
Cersei said in a low voice, "You immediately take people and get rid of them all."
"Are you crazy?" Jaime looked at Cersei with great aversion and said, "There are still newly born children among them! You're asking me to kill defenseless children?"
"I don't care! They will all threaten Joffrey's throne in the future; they shouldn't exist." Cersei glared at Jaime furiously, then, as if changing faces, suddenly became incredibly gentle, leaning into Jaime's arms and saying, "Don't forget, Joffrey is also your child. Do you want to see Joffrey's throne, which rightfully belongs to him, snatched away by those bastards one day? Have you thought about how miserable Joffrey would be if his throne were taken away?"
Jaime showed a hesitant expression and said in a low voice, "Lynd said he wouldn't get involved in the power struggles of King's Landing, and he certainly wouldn't…"
Cersei continued to persuade, "Perhaps he wouldn't, but what about the people under him? And I will never put my hope in someone else's promise. You might believe Linde Terra's promise, but I don't."
Jaime fell silent, considering for a long time before slowly saying, "Eddard Stark also knows about those people. If we act now, it will alarm Eddard Stark, and then he will tell Robert…"
Cersei also realized this problem, hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, and said, "In that case, let's have Joffrey ascend the Iron Throne earlier!"
"What do you mean by that?" Jaime was stunned and said in a low voice.
Cersei didn't elaborate, only unbuttoned Jaime's clothes. She had already thought of a permanent solution, which made her very excited, feeling a fire burning in her heart, scorching her insides; she needed to vent.
The next day, the martial arts tournament was held as scheduled. Although there was still a sea of people outside the city, it was clear that compared to the martial arts tournament of the past, this one was much inferior.
In the past martial arts tournament, almost all great nobles would specially send knights or personally lead people to participate, all of whom were famous figures. However, the current martial arts tournament only saw second sons, knights, and hired knights, with only a handful of truly famous and powerful knights.
Moreover, the number of participants was much smaller. The martial arts tournament, which used to take several days to complete, could now be finished in just one day.
However, even so, for the people of King's Landing, this was still a grand event, one of the few entertainment activities they could participate in alongside the nobles. So, as before, the area around the martial arts arena was already filled with spectators early on.
King Robert, who had just come out of a brothel, simply washed up and went directly to the martial arts arena outside the city. The strong smell of alcohol on him made Cersei, who had been waiting there early, frown tightly.
Eddard, the Hand of the King and the main character, only appeared on the viewing platform with his two daughters when the archery competition was about to begin.
Lynd also arrived at the viewing platform following behind Eddard. The moment he appeared, he received cheers from most of the people of King's Landing, showing how high his prestige was in the city.
Facing this scene, King Robert couldn't help but feel a touch of jealousy. Before Lynd had even taken his seat, he had someone call Lynd over and said, "Bear Hunter, watching the competition like this is too boring. How about we make a bet!"
"What does Your Majesty wish to bet on?" Lynd asked with a smile.
Robert said in a low voice, "Let's bet on the final champions of the archery competition, the team martial arts, and the jousting tournament."
Renly, sitting nearby, also spoke up when he heard this, "There's a bet, how about I join in too?"
"Alright." Robert also thought his idea was good. It felt a bit thin with just two people participating. Seeing Renly ask to join, he naturally wouldn't refuse. At the same time, he also called Littlefinger, Varys, and others to participate, and even Eddard, under his urging, had to join in.
