Chapter 124 Trial

"Sam, I'm so scared..."

Natalie said pitifully.

She looked a little pale and looked like she didn't sleep well last night.

"Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you." Samwell held Natalie's cold little hand and comforted her.

"But...but, Sir Gerald just swore allegiance to me, and then actually, actually..."

"That is also his personal behavior and has nothing to do with you. At most, as the lord, you can sincerely apologize to the Redwin family and express your condolences."

"Then what if... the Redwin family is unwilling to accept my apology?"

"Then they are acting recklessly. There is no provision in the laws of the kingdom. The sins committed by the vassals need to be borne by the lord."

Natalie nodded, her face a little better.

Samwell pointed to the food in front of her and said, "Eat something quickly, we have to go for questioning later."

Margaery hugged Natalie's other arm and led her inside while comforting her:

"Don't worry, today's court hearing is presided over by Lord Renly, the Minister of Justice. Loras has secretly told me that Lord Renly believes that the situation of the case is basically clear. It was Gerold Dayne who killed Hobbs in the godswood.

Redwyne, but he also fell from the tower and died while escaping from the Red Keep. The Seven Gods have made the murderer pay the price."

The nobles of the River Bend around him also glared at the Dornishmen.

After she stood still, she realized that she had actually arrived in the queue of nobles in the river bend.

Horace hung his arms and stood miserably in the front row, glaring at the Dornish nobles opposite him as if he wanted to eat them alive.

The hearing was held in the Throne Room.

Natalie then concentrated on her breakfast, but she obviously had no appetite today. She only ate half a slice of bread, an egg, and drank a glass of milk.

The throne room is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

A long red carpet stretches from the door to the end of the hall, where there is an iron high platform. On top of the high platform is the famous Iron Throne.

At this moment, many people have gathered in the hall. Most of the nobles who watched the fight between Jero and Hopper yesterday are here.

Natalie nodded after hearing this, feeling a lot more relieved.

"Did he fall to his death?" Lord Renly asked.

After I got the news, I immediately ordered the castle to be cordoned off and searched for Gerald Dane. This man was also very alert. Knowing that the matter was exposed, he tried to escape from the White Sword Tower. However, perhaps the Seven Gods could not tolerate this behavior and let him

He fell to death under the city wall."

Lord Renly nodded in return and asked, "Tell me what the guards discovered."

Samwell laughed loudly: "Yes, this will indeed reduce a lot of trouble. Eat quickly, the time is almost up."

Upon hearing this, Samwell clearly felt Natalie beside him tremble slightly.

However, he was not worried. This small problem would not cause him to overturn. Unless Wallis was the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes, it would be impossible to trace him with this clue.

"Okay. The ins and outs of this case are already very clear." Duke Renly concluded, "Gerro Dane and Hob Redwin had a grudge due to a martial arts competition, and then the conflict broke out again when they met in the godswood. Gero didn't know

Did he kill Hopper on purpose or by mistake, and then fell to his death while trying to escape. Do you guys have anything else to say?"

Princess Arianne took the lead on Dorne's side. When faced with the anger of the Reach nobles, she showed restraint and did not respond tit for tat. She just kept her head bowed in silence.

To be honest, it was hard for Samwell to imagine someone like the Red Viper praying devoutly in front of the statue of the Seven Gods.

Although the Dornish people were angry about this, they could do nothing about it.

Samwell quietly praised the two for their wit.

"Uh..." Genos was stunned for a moment, "Maybe it's the Night Owl."

"There should be." Duke Renly shrugged, "Maybe the eagle is the messenger sent by the Seven Gods."

Stepping on the thick and soft carpet, Samwell walked towards the Iron Throne step by step.

While waiting, several cabinet ministers from the Royal Council also appeared one after another, came to the high platform in front of the hall, and stood next to the Iron Throne.

Samwell also smiled slightly in his heart.

Genos, the commander of the Capital Guard, stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Renly."

Sure enough, Varys did not continue to ask, but nodded for Genos to continue.

"Everyone, we are gathered here today to hear the murder of Ser Hobb Redwine on the Arbor. Ser Janos Slynt."

The leader is the Lord Chancellor, Lord Renly Baratheon.

This was his first time coming to the center of power of the Seven Kingdoms.

At this time, Horace Redwin took a step forward and said:

"Lord Renly, was Gerold Dayne ordered to kill my brother?"

The others didn't say anything more, after all, this incident seemed to be undoubtedly done by Gerald Dane.

"Don't think too much about it." Samwell touched the little girl's soft hair, "It's not your fault. Besides, there are quite a few knights who have paid the price with their lives for competing for the favor of ladies. Think on the bright side,

Doesn’t this mean that your charm is irresistible?”

Seeing Natalie appear in the hall, everyone's expressions were complicated.

His eyes slowly swept across the hall and he said in a deep voice:

The little girl's mental quality is a bit poor.

It is said that the Iron Throne, which symbolizes the ruling power of the Seven Kingdoms, was made by Aegon the Conqueror Targaryen's dragon Balerion, the Black Death, who used dragon flames to melt thousands of enemy surrender swords.

It is made up of various twisted and sharp spikes and sharp angles.

"Eagle?" Upon hearing this, Intelligence Chief Varys interrupted, "Sir Janos, eagles don't come out at night, so are you sure it's an eagle?"

The guards felt something was wrong, so they entered the godswood to check, and sure enough they found Sir Hobb Redwyne brutally killed under an oak tree.

After finishing the meal, Samwell took Natalie towards Maegor's Tower.

"Yes, sir. Yesterday around ten o'clock, a group of my guards heard the cry of eagles coming from the sacred forest..."

Fortunately, Samwell and Margaery were protecting Natalie, otherwise Horace would probably have come forward to question her.

This is by no means a comfortable chair.

And the "Red Viper" Prince Oberyn still didn't show up. I don't know if he went to the Great Sept of Baelor to pray again.

The king's younger brother was wearing a dark green velvet dress, with a leaping crowned stag painted on his chest at the heart.

"But I don't want to be like this..." Natalie puffed up her cheeks, seeming to have made up her mind, "Next time I won't allow others to fight for me, let alone give them tokens! I should have done it as soon as I came up.

Just reject them!"

Of course, Samwell and Margaery would not let her go.

These two people actually want to use this method to declare to everyone the current stance of the Dane family.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, but still did not dare to run to the Dorne camp opposite, although logically speaking, she was actually the Lord of Dorne.

As for the doubt about the eagle, in the belief environment of Westeros, it is not inconsistent at all to explain it as a miracle.

The closer you get to it, the more you can feel the cold and chilling atmosphere.

In his opinion, a king should not sit comfortably.

"It should be so. At that time, he lowered the rope from the window on the top of the tower and tried to climb out of the city wall along the rope, but he probably accidentally slipped and fell to his death."

In history, many kings were injured or even killed by this chair. For example, it is said that King Maegor I died on this iron chair.

Natalie also kept her head lowered, not daring to face everyone's gaze.

It really is.

Genos echoed: "Sir, I think so too. Gerald Dane dared to do such a sinful thing in the godswood. No wonder the gods would be angry."

"Then my men went to the godswood to check, and happened to meet Gerald Dane coming out of the forest. He looked panicked and had blood stains on his body. When questioned, he insisted that he accidentally fell and fell.

to him, and then left in a hurry.

"Thank you, Miss Margery." Natalie tried her best to smile.

Such a heinous murder occurred in the Red Castle and involved two nobles. Naturally, a trial was necessary to identify the murderer and clarify the responsibility.

"Oh." Natalie then picked up the white bread in front of her and took a bite. After a moment, she said quietly, "So, they actually all died because of me...right?"

"So there really is an eagle?" Varys asked softly.

Samwell was also slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that a small flaw was left.

The "Rose of Highgarden" was wearing a slim-fitting black dress today, with tear-shaped red crystals dotted on her chest, and her silky brown curly hair was tied up high, looking solemn and elegant.

Aegon the Conqueror didn't want it to be a comfortable chair either.

Because it seems that this incident happened because of the countess, and one of them was a vassal knight of the countess.

Margaery Tyrell walked towards him, blocking Samwell's view of the Iron Throne.

"I'm sorry this happened." Margery gave Natalie a hug and kissed her cheek tenderly.

"Sam, Natalie."

But even so, it still cannot stop countless people from craving and coveting it.

As the golden-robed guard pushed open the huge bronze oak door, Samwell walked in with Natalie on his arm.

At this time, Grand Maester Pycelle added: "When we examined the body of Gerald Dayne, we found that he had many scratches on his body. It looked like the marks left by an eagle, but we didn't know where these marks were.

What is left in the sacred forest is the attack he suffered while climbing the city wall. If it is the latter, perhaps his fall to death was not an accident."

I, the real murderer, didn’t panic, so why are you panicking?

Lord Renly asked in a deep voice: "Who do you think Gerold Dayne was ordered by?"

Horace reached out and pointed in the direction of Princess Arianne, and said angrily:

"I suspect it's Dornish!"
