After leaving the Prime Ministers Tower, Lynd led Sansa Stark and Jeyne Poole out of the castle.
When they arrived at the square in front of the gate, Queen Cersei was already standing there, surrounded by a large number of Gold Cloaks, and the Kingsguard protected her.
Seeing this, Sansa and Jeyne shrank behind Lynd, looking around worriedly.
"Are you trying to stop me?" Lynd calmly looked at the people in front of him and asked.
Everyone around looked nervously at Cersei, no one dared to draw their weapons.
Cersei also looked at the people around her, feeling a surge of annoyance, and her gaze towards Lynd was filled with apprehension.
Then, she mustered her courage and stepped forward, saying to Lynd, "Lord Linde, didn't you say you wouldn't intervene in the political struggles of the Seven Kingdoms? Why are you now breaking your promise?"
"I haven't broken my promise. As before, I will not participate in your power struggles; they hold no meaning for me," Lynd emphasized his decision, then looked at Sansa behind him and said, "I'm taking Sansa because I promised Lord Eddard Stark to look after his daughter."
"Doesn't that still count as interfering in the kingdom's power struggle?" Cersei said in a deep voice.
"I won't take her for nothing; I'll give you an acknowledgment," Lynd said, looking at Cersei.
Cersei asked, "What acknowledgment?"
Lynd said in a deep voice, "I have already asked Lord Eddard Stark, and he admits that the heir written in King Robert's will is Joffrey Baratheon, so I will publicly acknowledge him as the Lord of the Iron Throne, the legitimate King of the Seven Kingdoms."
"Is that true?" Cersei quickly confirmed.
"It's true." Lynd pointed to the people around him and said, "There are hundreds of ears here; it's impossible for them all to be hallucinating."
The tension in Cersei's heart instantly vanished and was replaced by joy. No matter how politically 鈍 she was, she knew what Lynd's recognition of Joffrey's legitimate claim to the throne meant. This signified that the Seven Gods Church also recognized his legitimacy, and no one could shake its legitimacy with various reasons.
"What about Myrcella's engagement?" Cersei asked, somewhat presumptuously.
"The engagement was set by King Robert. Unless you break the contract, I will not refuse this engagement," Lynd looked at Cersei meaningfully, then emphasized, "However, don't think that my recognition of the engagement will help you in any way. Please remember, I will not interfere in your power struggles, even if you perish, you will not receive any support from me."
After speaking, Lynd ignored the somewhat unpleasant expression on Cersei's face and led Sansa and Jeyne out of the Red Keep. Those blocking their path moved aside, no one daring to stop him.
After leaving the Red Keep, Lynd led the two directly along the end of the Kings Road to the square in front of the Great Sept of Baelor.
The Lava Dragon Nessario still lay on the square, and its lava heart, eyeballs, and throat became increasingly prominent, even the air it exhaled glowed red, looking as terrifying as a dark dragon from hell.
