Chapter 141 140. I do not plead guilty!
When Lan En first walked into the door, Robert's expression looked like he wanted to eat someone.
But as Lan En got closer and closer, the pair of cat eyes that shone slightly under the dim firelight began to attract attention.
"Humph, cat's eye? Boy, what strange disease do you have?"
Although King Robert's tone was still unhappy, his murderous intent was suppressed at least.
As the Targaryens of the previous ruling family of Westeros, their pure bloodline will have an appearance beyond human beauty, with hair like molten silver, and violet pupils.
Out of hatred for the current throne and his own hatred, Robert wanted to kill all such people.
Lan En continued the conversation very naturally.
"It is indeed a strange disease, Your Majesty. And that is an unlucky story. I believe that everyone here does not want to hear it."
"That's it. ." A beautiful blond woman standing between the king and the prince said with a mean expression.
"We are discussing the injury of the heir to the kingdom and the crime of the person who hurt others. Let's wait until everyone wants to hear a joke about the strange disease of a country man."
King Robert heard what the woman said With the subtext of sealing the conclusion, he squinted at the woman with disgust.
"This is a fight between two children. One took a real sword and released a wolf on the other. What 'crime' are you talking about here?!"
Lan En could see it Come out, now because the prince and Aaliya have their own opinions, both sides are fighting for the king's judgment to develop in their own favorable direction.
But what’s interesting is that the king himself didn’t care that his son was bitten by a wolf. Instead, he stood between Ed and the blonde woman and tried his best to smooth things over.
That woman was undoubtedly the queen.
From this point of view, the real dispute should be between the queen's family and the Stark family.
Lan was smacking his lips at what he saw.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Mentos. Political conflicts plus family disputes. My scalp is numb."
"Yes, sir. I agree with your point of view, so in this matter I will try to limit the data analysis to avoid overloading myself. You can figure it out yourself. ”
The biological brain knows its own weaknesses, so it wisely chooses not to interfere.
While Lan En was complaining to Zhinao, the queen had once again brought her back to the topic because of her silver hair and face.
The king restated his attitude impatiently.
This is a fight between two children. Both children used excessive means, so no one should be held accountable.
But the blond queen did not agree with this method of treatment, and she emphasized again with a cold expression.
"She must be punished."
"Then what do you want me to do? Let this child be whipped? Parade?! Come on, do you want everyone to know that you were raped by a little girl? "Is it possible to defeat her?"
The first half of Robert's sentence was choked and he said to the queen, and the second half was to explain his interests to his son, hoping that he would give up the pursuit first.
The war of dynasty replacement in Westeros has just been calmed down for a generation, and people will not want a cowardly prince at this time.
Prince Joffrey's expression was obviously shaken, and he obviously knew which was more important, reputation or venting his anger.
The queen obviously also knew that it would be unrealistic to hold the king's words accountable to 'people'.
But with her character, it is impossible to even think about letting the Stark family crawl out of this mess intact.
Robert had already struggled to stand up on the armrests of the chair, ready to leave the tent to get some air.
At this moment
“What about that beast that insulted your son?”
The queen's harsh and sharp words made the king stand still from behind.
"At least kill that beast. It's on the horse post outside the door now. One slash, clean and clear."
Edd Stark He opened his mouth, wanting to save the lives of the direwolves for his daughter. He knew the feelings between these wolves and his children.
But on the other hand, he also knew clearly that this was the best outcome that could be expected. By killing a wolf, the estrangement from the royal family is lifted.
Even the dullest person in the world knows how to choose.
Stark has already made the minimum effort. If he continues to argue over a wolf, his reputation in the noble circles of the entire continent will be damaged!
King Robert also knew that in order to save the face of his old brother Eddard Stark, he had choked the queen many times today.
It would be unreasonable to continue to worry about the life of an animal.
“As you wish.”
After saying this with a cold face, the king was ready to leave this upsetting room quickly.
Although the quality of the prostitutes accompanying the army is probably not very good, it is still much more comfortable than staying in this room!
But no one noticed that Alia, who was supposed to be heartbroken and weeping for her wolf in everyone's minds, was excitedly pulling Lan En, who looked indifferent, through the gaps in the crowd. Push toward the king.
The little girl’s eyes were not only free of sadness, helplessness and fear.
Instead, it’s more like “Woohoo! Let’s have fun!”
"Alia? Alia?!"
After the crowd, Ed wanted to comfort his little daughter, but then he was horrified to find that the little daughter he had just found disappeared again.
Suddenly he was looking around and shouting in the crowd.
Robert, who was walking out, stopped, pursed his lips and sighed, turning back, lamenting that there were so many bullshit happening every day and he couldn't just ignore it.
But when he turned back, he happened to see a small head in the crowd excitedly squeeze out from the waist height of the people on both sides.
The little master of the dying wolf is now smiling like a flower.
Then with a tug of his hand, a tall and handsome figure squeezed a hole in the gathering crowd and walked out.
This situation made Robert a little unable to react.
But there is no need for him to react, now is Aaliyah's performance time.
The little girl had an excited expression of "It's my turn finally". After swallowing, she shouted loudly over all the noise.
"Your Majesty, you have sentenced Nymeria, my wolf, to death. Is that so?"
"Uh, right?"
Robert's mouth twitched slightly and he hesitated. answer.
Aliya really confused him with this incident.
"Okay, then I will announce on behalf of Nymeria that I do not plead guilty! The trial process will continue!"
Arya shouted, but Robert seemed to vaguely understand what the girl was thinking because he heard the familiar preposition.
His eyes widened in shock.
As expected.
The excitement and anticipation in the little girl's eyes rose to the highest level. She licked her lips that were thirsty due to nervousness and continued to increase the volume.
"Then. I demand a trial by combat!"
Trial by combat means that under the watchful eyes of the Seven Gods, two warriors duel for their own judgment. It was believed that the winner of the duel was the one deemed righteous by the Seven.
God’s judgment is greater than human judgment, so those who win in the trial by combat will not be punished by human judgment in this judgment.
Aliya was born and grew up in the Northern Territory, where the folk customs are fierce. Although the Northern Territory's beliefs are different from those of the Seven Gods Church in the South, this custom itself is very suitable for the Northern Territory people.
She has actually seen it many times while watching the excitement.
What excites her this time is that she can finally become a party in the trial by combat and shout these handsome words!
It's so fun when it's almost impossible to lose!
