#350 - Chapter 84: Faith is a Double-edged Sword (IV)

Whether it's royal power or divine power, both establish their authority through repeated confrontations. When Cersei used the church to attack the Queen, she was actually suppressing the already limited authority of the royal family, even handing the knife to the High Sparrow.

As expected, a tragedy was inevitable. Cersei volunteered to negotiate with the church on behalf of Tommen. In reality, she simply wanted to witness Margaery's embarrassment as a victor. So, she feigned concern with a few words, but inwardly, she was secretly delighted.

However, Cersei's triumph didn't last long. She was soon detained by the High Sparrow without any ceremony. It turned out that Lancel had reported her to the church, listing a series of serious charges! These included debauchery in the court, an improper relationship between siblings, and the most serious accusation of murdering the king.

At this moment, Cersei was like being devoured by the ferocious beast she had unleashed. She couldn't understand how the church dared to act against the Queen, and naturally wouldn't fear the Queen Mother. Worse, if the church successfully convicted them of these crimes, it would mean the church had established its supreme authority. Next, they could use these people as a breakthrough to question the legitimacy of King Tommen.

If they succeeded, it would mean that from that moment on, the Iron Throne would be completely reduced to a puppet of the church! The High Sparrow finally got his wish, establishing the supreme authority of the Faith of the Seven, placing divine power above royal power!

At this moment, the High Sparrow was staring at Cersei, a hint of imperceptible triumph flashing in his eyes.

"Queen Mother, what do you have to say now? Before God, all are equal. Anyone who violates the laws set by God must be judged!" The High Sparrow's tone was unusually calm, but the contained authority was impossible to ignore.

Cersei's emotions became more and more agitated, she shouted almost hysterically: "Release me! I am the Queen Mother, how dare you treat me like this? Without my support, what are you?"

However, the High Sparrow was not swayed by Cersei's words. He simply waved his hand, signaling the two nuns behind him to come forward. The two nuns grabbed Cersei without hesitation and forcibly dragged her away from the scene.

At the same time, this shocking news quickly spread back to the Red Keep. Tommen was stunned when he heard the news. After all, he was only a thirteen-year-old child and couldn't understand why things had developed to such a point. Suddenly, his wife and mother were imprisoned by the church at the same time! King Tommen was filled with anger, he was furious, and immediately wanted to order the army to attack the Great Sept of Baelor.

However, the church held hostages, and they were fearless. Tommen repeatedly demanded the release of the hostages, but was rejected every time. At this moment, he felt extremely lonely because he didn't even have a trustworthy relative by his side. Facing such a difficult situation, he didn't dare to make any decisions easily, so the matter dragged on.

People living in the light cannot imagine the lives of those imprisoned in the dungeon. Especially Cersei, she had to endure hunger and thirst every day, as well as the physical and mental torture of the nuns.

When Olenna learned of Loras and Margaery's arrest, she was furious. She never imagined that such a huge change would happen after only a few days away from King's Landing. She knew that her foolish son was incapable of dealing with such a complex situation, so she did not hesitate to set off for King's Landing overnight.

At the same time, Kevan and Jaime in Casterly Rock also received news from King's Landing. An enraged Jaime immediately led five hundred elite cavalry back to King's Landing overnight. For him, such a humiliation was unacceptable!

Vaes Dothrak, in the open space in front of the Dosh Khaleen's palace, a huge figure stood tall - that was Leviathan. Its huge body, like a moving mountain, was daunting. The Dothraki people were terrified and retreated far away, only Rhaegal approached excitedly. In comparison, Leviathan was simply a behemoth, at least three times the size of Rhaegal, like a pony next to a horse.

Leviathan's ferocious dragon head drooped slightly, as if examining everything around it. At this moment, Liu Yuan, wearing a light purple robe, slowly appeared. He steadily stepped onto the dragon's neck and walked down step by step. He walked calmly to the front of the palace. Many Khals witnessed this scene, many of whom had dealt with him and even been severely taught a lesson by him.

Especially Khal Jhaqo and Khal Bono, who were both defeated by Drogo, and had a deep understanding of the strength of Liu Yuan's army. At this moment, they naturally did not dare to neglect the slightest bit, and respectfully greeted: "It is a great honor to see you again, Honorable Qalun Khal!"

Liu Yuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and nodded slightly to everyone as a response. His eyes were like torches, scanning everyone present, and finally stopped on the group of Dosh Khaleen. These people had already been scared out of their wits by Leviathan, and collapsed on the ground, completely losing their former prestige.

Feeling his gaze, the oldest of the Dosh Khaleen couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, and hurriedly stood up and walked towards Liu Yuan.

"Welcome to Vaes Dothrak, Honorable Qalun. I am Khasm (High Priestess or Patriarch) of the Dosh Khaleen, you can also call me Vina." She said in standard and fluent Valyrian, trying her best to keep her tone steady.

Liu Yuan smiled slightly and raised the corners of his mouth: "May the stars protect you Dosh Khaleen, Vina Khasm. I am here to welcome a friend home."

Vina responded: "Even so, it may be offensive, but this place is the sacred temple of our Dothraki people. Foreigners are forbidden to enter Dosh Khaleen."

Liu Yuan did not show any weakness, and said loudly: "However, don't forget, I am the supreme leader of the raiders. According to Dothraki tradition, as long as I am recognized by three or more Khals, I can be awarded the title of Khal, and thus have the right to participate in the holy land's festival." Then, he turned his head and glanced at the group of Khals, and asked solemnly: "Then do you think I am qualified to become a Khal?"
