In the royal meeting hall, the spacious room looked particularly solemn and dignified, and several ministers sat in their seats with serious expressions. Kevan Lannister, Duke of Mace, Grand Maester, Varys, and Olenna, the Queen of Thorns, were all present. Pycelle kept nagging, his tone full of dissatisfaction and complaints. It turned out that Qyburn occupied his laboratory, and all this was ordered by Cersei, which made Pycelle full of resentment.

At this moment, Cersei, Jaime and others walked into the meeting room. Their arrival instantly broke the original tranquility, and everyone's eyes were focused on them. The tall and mighty figure of the Mountain was like an indestructible barrier, firmly blocking the door. After Qyburn saluted everyone, he sat quietly in his seat, just opposite Pycelle.

Kevan spoke first: "We are holding a royal meeting. What are you doing here?" His voice was low and powerful, revealing a kind of majesty.

Cersei responded: "Uncle Kevan, why are you here? Lady Olenna, why are you here too?" There was a hint of confusion and surprise in her eyes.

Kevan explained, "A few days ago, I received an order from the king to temporarily take over the position of Hand of the King so that Tiget can deal with the affairs on the front line wholeheartedly. As for Lady Olenna, I specially invited her to discuss how to solve a difficult problem together." His words were concise and clear, making it easy to understand.

Olenna: "For example, the queen is imprisoned. We should think seriously about how to rescue her."

Cersei: "So, Uncle Kevan, you actually came to King's Landing a long time ago. So, when you watched your blood relatives suffer such a great humiliation, did you ever think about how to save me?"

Kevan: "Please note that this is the venue of the Imperial Council, and you are not a member of the Imperial Council. Therefore, we are not obliged to make any explanations to you."

Jaime: "I am the captain of the Kingsguard. According to the law, I am fully qualified to participate in this meeting." After that, he quickly dragged over two chairs and sat down with Cersei.

Cersei said: "Uncle, it seems that you can't drive us out. Now time is running out, let's start discussing together without further delay!"

Kevan stared at her coldly and responded firmly: "Indeed, we cannot drive you away. However, you cannot keep us either. You have already brought shame to our family and the royal family. I will never recognize the power you have." As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up resolutely and walked out the door. Lady Olenna also stood up immediately. Seeing this, the Duke of Mace hurried forward to support her. Pycelle hurriedly followed them and left together.

But the Mountain blocked the door, motionless like a huge mountain, preventing several people from leaving the room. Kevan turned to Cersei and said, "Even if you order this monster to kill us all, I will never change my mind."

Cersei waved at the Mountain and said in a firm tone: "Let them go!" Only then did the Mountain slowly move his body, making way for a passage, and several people filed out.

Just as Varys reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned back. He looked at Cersei and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please understand. As the chief of intelligence, I can only serve the king and the prime minister. But if there is any place where I can help, I will do my best to assist you."

Cersei nodded slightly, showing her understanding. She continued, "Thank you, Varys. I need all the information about the High Sparrow and his accomplices, as well as a list of the people in the city who have publicly insulted me. The more detailed the better."

Varys replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best to collect this information and present it to you as soon as possible." After that, he was about to turn around and leave, but before leaving, he added: "In addition, there is one more thing to report to you. His Majesty has led the Kingsguard to the cathedral."

Cersei's face suddenly became serious when she heard this. She turned to look at Jaime, her eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and uneasiness. "Tommen has gone to see the High Sparrow. What should we do now?" There was a hint of helplessness and confusion in her voice.

James comforted him, "Don't worry. The High Sparrow doesn't have the guts to detain the king. That would mean all-out war. After all, no one wants to see the flames of war and the devastation of life."

Cersei sighed, "Jaime, those people are all crazy. We must find a way to regain control of the situation. I can only rely on you now." There was a hint of helplessness and helplessness in her eyes.

As soon as they arrived at the castle gate, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate. The captain of the guard stepped forward and said respectfully: "I am sorry, Queen Mother, but His Majesty has ordered that you cannot leave the Red Castle. Please understand that this is a king's order that cannot be disobeyed."

Jaime was furious when he saw these Lannister soldiers dared to stop him. He widened his eyes and shouted in a low voice: "Get out of the way! Don't you even recognize me?"

The captain of the guards looked embarrassed and said, "Sir James, this is the order of His Majesty the King. Please don't make it difficult for us. We are also following orders and have no choice."

Jaime's hand had already touched the hilt of the sword, and the Mountain took a step forward. His tall and mighty body was like an insurmountable mountain, exuding a terrifying aura. The guards were extremely nervous, unconsciously clenching their weapons, and their palms began to sweat.

Seeing this, Cersei shook her head gently and waved: "Okay, Jaime, let's go back!" Although she was unwilling in her heart, she was still willing to maintain Tommen's authority. At this critical moment, she knew that stabilizing the situation was more important than personal impulse.

Tommen was young and inexperienced, and he stormed into the sanctuary angrily at first. However, after the High Sparrow's sweet talk, Tommen, who lacked a strong opinion to begin with, gradually lost his arrogance. The High Sparrow even cleverly used the kingdom and its people to blackmail him morally, causing Tommen to completely lose his mind.

In the end, the High Sparrow bid farewell to Tommen with a smile on his face, and Tommen didn't even get to see Margaery.

Under the leadership of the High Sparrow, the church became famous for trampling on the dignity of the royal family. More and more people flocked to the church, especially the wealthy and the downtrodden. In the action of eliminating heresy, they gained a huge fortune.
