Seeing Ed appear, all kinds of insults and curses rang out in the Baylor Statue Square, like a wave hitting Ed.
Joffrey, who was on the podium, saw the excited scene and smiled. He was very satisfied and ordered the two gold robes holding Eddard: "Bring him here!"
The golden robe escorted Edd towards the pulpit. Along the way, the civilians of King's Landing were full of insults, and one civilian even spat thick phlegm on Edd.
Ed, who remained silent, endured these insults and stepped onto the podium with determination in his eyes.
Behind Joffrey, Jaime and Ser Barristan looked at Eddard who was insulted, with some unbearable expressions on their faces.
Maybe they also have the spirit of chivalry and feel that a knight with noble character and abiding by honor should not be so insulted!
On the complete opposite side of them, Joffrey, whose face was full of joy and almost laughed out loud, pointed to the reserved position at the lower level of the pulpit and said with a smile: "Hey, move him to that position, Archbishop, and we can start!"
"As you command!"
The archbishop in gorgeous clothes answered Joffrey, then faced the civilians in the square, raised his hands and pressed down, and said loudly: "Quiet, today under the watchful eyes of the Seven Gods, we stand in the
Witness together in front of the blessed Baelor Cathedral,
Former Hand of the King, Warden of the North, Duke of Winterfell, Eddard Stark. Admit his crimes!"
As soon as the Archbishop spoke, Baylor Sculpture Square quickly fell silent. Following his words, everyone's eyes focused on Ed.
Ed turned his head, starting from the smiling Joffrey, and looked around the podium. A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said loudly: "At this moment, I don't have so many titles, I am just the Ed of the Stark family.
De Stark.
In the presence of the old and new gods, I confess my sin!"
After saying this, Ed paused slightly and continued: "I admit that my biggest crime... is rigid and stubborn adherence to honor, and stupid and crazy kindness.
Because of the crimes I committed, now I stand here to be punished!"
Hearing Eddard's words, the smile on Joffrey's face froze. He was about to speak, but was stopped by Cersei beside him because Eddard had already continued speaking.
"My dear friend, my king, ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, protector of all the realms, legitimate heir to Robert Baratheon..."
Having said this, he first glanced at Joffrey, who was looking forward to it, and Cersei, who was smiling.
Then he turned to face the civilians on the sculpture square and let out a roar that had been deep in his heart for a long time.
"There's absolutely no way this could be this, the bastard son born of incest between Cersei Lannister and Jaime Lannister, Joffrey Hisham!
My dear friend Robert Baratheon has no legitimate heirs!
Moreover, he was murdered by the Lannister family!"
"Shut up! Stop him quickly, don't let him continue talking!"
"No way! Everything he said was a lie! He is a liar!"
Hearing Eddard's fast-talking roar, Cersei's face suddenly turned pale and she called out to the golden robe to stop him from continuing to speak.
When Joffrey heard this, he pointed at Ed with an angry face and explained to the stunned civilians in the square.
At the beginning, the reason why the commoners in the square were so excited and hated Eddard so much was because of Robb and Bloodwind.
There is also the fact that Eddard Stark is a representative of the Seven Kingdoms who is upright, just and honorable. Such a character actually wants to admit treason and rebellion.
It is equivalent to a public figure who is now famous for his positive image. After his personality collapses, fans will love him deeply and hate him deeply.
But now, not only did he not admit treason and rebellion as advertised by the Golden Robe, but he broke out such a shocking scandal, which made all civilians subconsciously want to believe it.
Cersei looked at the square, looking at her and Jaime with disdainful eyes like sharp swords.
She immediately screamed angrily: "Are you two dead? Hurry and seal his mouth!"
The two men in gold robes who were responsible for guarding Ed realized what they were doing and immediately stepped forward to stop him from talking.
Ed, whose hands were tied, suddenly exerted force and used his shoulders to knock the two golden robes away.
Sandor, who was standing behind Ed, leaned forward and wanted to stop him, but he seemed to remember something and finally stood silently.
"What I said above are all facts. I hereby request the testimony of the old and new gods in the sky!"
"You liar, tell me the truth again!
Otherwise, I will kill all of you Stark family, put your heads on the tip of a gun, and let everyone see the fate of liars and national thieves!"
Seeing Edd knocking away the two guards, Joffrey angrily came down from the top of the podium, rushed in front of Eddard, pointed angrily at Eddard's nose, and shouted in an almost broken voice.
Looking at this angry and angry boy, thinking of yesterday, when he talked about his son who was unwilling to bend the knee and had a light in his eyes, Eddard shouted with firm eyes: "I serve as the Hand of the King, Eddard Stark, and the Seven Kingdoms. By King Robert Baratheon,
All of Westeros! Regardless of family size, regardless of high or low birth, who can destroy the Lannister family and avenge King Robert Baratheon?
Who is the only legal heir to the Iron Throne!"
"Liar! You shameless liar!"
Hearing Eddard still talking nonsense, Joffrey, whose anger had reached its peak, turned around and pulled out the long sword from the waist of the deposit-watching robe, and stabbed Eddard with one sword.
"No! Stop!"
"no!"
Eddard, who felt relieved after saying what he wanted to say, looked at Joffrey who was stabbing him with a sword, and a calm smile appeared on his lips.
Poof!
Joffrey, who had learned swordsmanship and had a foundation in swordsmanship, accurately pierced Eddard's heart with one sword.
Feeling a pain in his heart, in Ed's last vision, the whole world seemed to slow down.
Cersei, whose face was as pale as a sheet of paper, raised her hands to stop him. Jaime, who was looking anxious, jumped down from the platform and also stopped Joffrey.
Varys was in a trance, Pycelle and the Archbishop looked stunned, and Baelish was hiding in the shadows in the corner with a smile on his face.
All these scenes quickly faded away in front of Ed's eyes, darkness gradually came over him, and at the last moment, a thought came to his mind.
Bastard Robert! You don’t care about the iron chair anyway, so let’s take it as a reward for your revenge!
Wow!
When Joffrey killed Eddard with one sword, the civilians who had been shocked and speechless suddenly broke into a huge discussion, and the sacred Baelor Statue Square suddenly became like a noisy vegetable market.
Some of these people believe it, some doubt it, and some are dubious. Everyone is expounding their own opinions.
"Chop his body into pieces and feed it to the dogs!"
After killing Eddard, Joffrey's anger had not dissipated. He turned to the golden robe and ordered.
"As you command!"
Joffrey threw away the stained long sword in his hand, turned around, looked at his mother and the surrounding ministers with gloomy expressions, and then realized that he seemed to be in trouble.
He immediately said to Sandor who was standing aside: "Dog, take me back to the Red Keep!"
"yes!"
Cersei looked at the back of her son Joffrey as he left, not knowing what to say. Jaime looked back at the pulpit, and their eyes intertwined.
…
When Robb learned that his father had been killed by Joffrey, it was already a month later when the Wind Witch arrived at White Harbor and was personally received by Lord Wyman.
After Lord Wyman relayed his father's last words in a deep voice, Robb lost control of his emotions and roared to the sky to vent his negative emotions.
Until this time, I knew that Eddard had made changes and did not insist that Stannis was the legal heir to the Iron Throne as in the original play.
Only then did he realize that Ed had already given up and he would abide by the honor of his life.
The reason why he refused to leave King's Landing was to make way for him and pave a road that would not yield to anyone!
While grieving in his heart, Robb also understood deeply,
Father Ed's vow of revenge at the cost of the Iron Throne is likely to turn the War of Five Kings in the original drama into an unprecedented chaos of a hundred kings!
