Chapter 100 The Usurper is Dead, A New False King is Established
"How's the work going, Lancel, the king and queen's little servant?"
It was still that same smelly and dimly lit little house.
However, Lancel felt that the taste today wasn't so bad that he would vomit up what he ate this morning.
Clearly, the smell of smoke emanating from Lu Tie, who was using a stove hook to rummage through potatoes near the stove, largely neutralized the unpleasant odor.
Lancel glanced at him without even looking at him, and then quickly lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "Hmm..."
""
"What did you say?"
The door was open, and the noise outside drowned out Lancel's little movements. They needed to let the smell out, otherwise, if they were sitting by the stove with the door closed, digging for potatoes, the two weightlifters would be suffocated by the smoke. Even though they were rich, they couldn't afford to treat the Kingdom Coins used for resurrection like dirt.
Lancel was genuinely startled by the shout of "lifting iron!" and immediately all the unpleasant memories of him and Robert flooded his mind.
Almost reflexively, Lancel blurted out, "It's over! He was seriously injured by the wild boar. Before I left, even the Grand Scholar said he couldn't do anything about it! He... he probably won't live much longer!"
The half-cooked potatoes bounced back and forth between the weightlifting hands, making the weightlifter anxiously blow on them to keep them warm.
Sitting opposite him, Crescent Moon had just finished her livestream from the arena outside. She was starving and eagerly snatched the potato from his weightlifting hand, saying, "Here you go!"
Lu Tie shook his head helplessly, stood up, pulled Lancel aside, got him a small stool, and gestured for him to sit down and talk.
Lancel told Luther the whole story in fits and starts, from how Cersei instigated him to the fact that the wine Robert drank was also provided by Cersei.
Then Robert was hit by a wild boar, which pierced several bloody holes in his body, and half of the boar's tusk was even left in Robert's stomach.
After listening, Lu Tie chuckled.
Robert, the infamous usurper whom almost every player has heard of.
Well, it's almost all, not all, since there are a few lone wolf players who don't follow the storyline at all, they just want to experience Second Life.
Who is Robert? I have no idea!
At this moment, Lifting Iron was already fantasizing about how much of the reward he would get after Robert, that wild boar, died.
Although Robert wasn't killed by him, and he's still alive.
But Lancel, strictly speaking, is no longer Robert's woman; he's someone with a little secret in his weightlifting hands.
Lancel works for him, and in this situation, Lu Tie has asked Little Fireman about it more than once when buying things from him.
The ruthless little fireman had confirmed for him more than once that in this situation, if the target died, he, the mastermind, could also receive a substantial reward.
After all, once someone dies, even if Little Fireman is heartless, he can't keep all the rewards and then tell the player that the rewards were given to Lancel.
If that were the case, you could roast a whole truckload of potatoes while lifting weights.
Lu Tie stood up, patted Lancel on the shoulder: "Alright, that fat bastard won't live much longer now. No one will slap you every day anymore. You should have some fun now. Go back."
"Huh? When are you going to take me to the other side of the strait?"
Lancel clearly remembered that the man in front of him had promised that night that he would send him to Essos and arrange a good job for him after the matter was settled.
At this point, Lancel didn't care whether he was a Lannister or not. Damn it, he was constantly worried about how Robert would be angry with him if he wasn't dead, and he was also afraid that Cersei would kill him to silence him.
After all, in Cersei's view, only the two of them knew about Robert's murder.
When Cersei gets angry, she doesn't care whether Lancel's father is her uncle Kevan Lannister or not.
At least that's what Lancel thinks.
"NO! You can't leave now. I still need you. You have to stay and be my inside man. Don't worry, I'll guarantee your safety."
This is such a great informant, we finally found him, so we can't let him go no matter what. We have to squeeze him out of the last drop of his life.
"No, no! I won't do it! You promised me you'd let me leave King's Landing and go to Essos!"
Lancel shook his head vigorously, refusing to go back no matter what.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tie's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He stepped forward and grabbed Lancel's neck, saying, "Have I been too friendly with you? If I didn't tell you some bloody stories, would you really think I'm some kind of vegetarian monk?"

Lancel couldn't understand what the weightlifting was about, but he could certainly sense the threat it implied.
The Lannister boy was practically in tears; how could he be so unlucky!
At the same time, Crescent Moon, who was frying potatoes in her mouth, stood up, picked up the red-hot stove hook, and swayed over.
The hook stopped less than half a finger's length in front of Lancel's eyes.
"Kid, do you know what roasted eyeballs taste like?" Crescent Moon gripped the stove hook in her hand, pretending to be a deeply mentally ill patient, threatening him.
Lancel was so frightened that he didn't dare to say another word.
"Don't worry, we'll keep you safe. And once Robert's dead, what are you afraid of?"
He circled behind Lancel, placed his hand on the other's shoulder, and whispered slowly.
Lancel looked up at Crescent Moon, who was acting like a madman, opened his mouth, but finally lowered his head and uttered a "hmm" after a long while.
"What if Robert isn't dead?"
After Lancel was taken away by Rolger, Crescent Moon threw down the furnace hook in her hand and looked at the iron track.
"Not dead? If he's not dead, then keep going until Robert dies!" The weightlifter turned and shrank back into the house.
Robert finally died.
After being taken back to the Red Keep by Barristan and his men, he never woke up again, remaining in a daze until he succumbed to his injuries.
Cersei, with an impatient and cold expression, pulled her son Joffrey to sit on the Iron Throne.
Below the steps stood the Kingsguard, with Queen Cersei standing to the left of the throne and Sandor Clegane, Joffrey's personal bodyguard, to the right.
Although he killed King Robert, the newly arrived Grand Maester Payne inexplicably gained Cersei's favor.
At this moment, even the late king's edict was read aloud to the court officials by the Grand Academician En.
Of course, this so-called will was actually written by Cersei. After all, Robert never woke up until his death, and the courtiers couldn't possibly let a man who had turned into a tree sit up, write his will, and then die.
Therefore, although Cersei was acting as a proxy, since Joffrey was the legitimate heir to the late king, few of the vassals objected to Cersei's role as a proxy.
