Hoster Tully, the patriarch of the Tully family in the Riverlands, the Governor of the Trident, and the Duke of Riverrun, is not even 10 years old this year, but due to long-term illness, his body is very weak and he looks unusually old. p>
When he was young, he traveled around and made many friends. In his middle age, he participated in the Battle of the Nine Copper Kings. Later, he was a staunch supporter of Robert's war to overthrow the Targaryens. He was quite famous among the older generation of nobles in the Seven Kingdoms.
Some time ago, Blackfish Brynden Tully secretly escorted Lysa Tully back to Riverrun. Although his youngest daughter committed such a heinous crime, Old Hoster was still very happy that the family could get together for a short time and have a good time.
Have a few good meals.
In the small banquet hall in Riverrun, all members of the Tully family were gathered.
Blackfish Brynden stood aside and said nothing. He had already done what he had to do. Now that his brother is here, he does not need to express his opinion on whether his children live or die.
Originally, he and his brother had a conflict over the marriage contract. After seeing his old face and stooped body, and feeling that his brother's time was running out, he put aside the hatred in his heart and stayed by his brother's side to chat with him during this time.
They talked about their past when they were young, their quarrels, fights, and travel experiences.
Edmure and Catelyn know the cause and effect of the matter best. When talking to the old Duke, Catelyn's attitude became firmer, "My sister Lysa Tully was deceived and deceived by Littlefinger, and Littlefinger is the culprit."
The culprit, she is not worthy of death."
Edmure sneered after hearing this, "Why didn't you say it in front of the nobles of the valley when we were in King's Landing? The evidence is conclusive. My opinion is that in order to appease the nobles of the valley and protect the reputation of the family, and advocate impartial law enforcement, my sister and her
Illegitimate children beheaded."
Lysa Tully was feeding her son, regardless of what the family around her said, her eyes were filled with disgust for her family.
Hoster Tully raised his trembling fingers and pointed at Lysa, "Where is Littlefinger?"
Lysa Tully suddenly sent her son away and stood up, grabbed the dinner plate in front of her and threw it at her brother Edmure. "You want me to die, don't you? Then you die first!"
Edmure's head avoided the plate, and the soup and vegetables splashed all over him, making him very embarrassed.
Lysa Tully was still furious. She pointed at her father, "You, you damn old man! If you hadn't forcibly separated me from Littlefinger, forced me to have an abortion, and let me marry Arryn at the age of twenty.
Half of the dead ghost, how can I be reduced to this point? I will always hate you! Bah!"
She felt no guilt at all and spat in front of the old Duke.
Hoster Tully was very sad. Littlefinger was the son of a knight he had befriended during the Battle of the Nine Copper Kings. After the knight died in the battle, he adopted Littlefinger as his adopted son. His daughter Lysa fell in love with him.
And she was pregnant with a child. At that time, he wanted her to marry a high-ranking noble. Although Littlefinger was an adopted son, he had no status, so he forced his daughter to drink moon tea and marry Duke Arryn.
The distance between the Eagle's Nest and Riverrun is not that far. My daughter has been married for more than ten years and has never come back to visit her. The older Horst gets, the more I feel sorry for my little daughter.
"Stop talking." Hoster Tully choked and said, tears slowly falling along the wrinkles on his face.
"I will never forgive you! I will haunt you even if I die! And you, my brother who wants me dead, I will curse you before I die to never give birth to a son!" Lysa Tully also said
Roaring.
Edmure was also aroused and said, "Lysa! You still don't know how to repent! You are already crazy! You are hopelessly crazy!"
"Don't make any noise!"
Old Horst slapped the table and shouted with all his strength.
Seeing that the three children all stopped, he ordered his brother, "Brynden, lock Lysa Tully in the bedroom, and let the soldiers guard the door. Only the maids who deliver food can enter and exit."
After saying that, he slowly walked out of the banquet hall with the help of the maid. The maid who was keeping watch that night heard the old Duke crying in the bedroom until very late. The next day, he took a few personal guards and embarked on his way to King's Landing City.
In a carriage, a man could not afford to kneel in front of the Red Castle, wanting to trade his old life for the life of his little daughter.
Hoster Tully took off his robe and Tully family crest and wanted to intercede for his daughter as an old father, but you, Hoster Tully, are here, how can you have nothing to do with the riverlands?
?The young people don’t know him, the older nobles now know the news, and the entire King’s Landing is paying attention to this matter privately. This makes Robert difficult. For the first time, he feels like his head hurts even if he doesn’t drink. p>
Today was originally a happy day. The little princess Jocelyn Baratheon officially met with the nobles, and Renly's little dragon was taken out of the house for the first time. Now Robert and Renly's good mood has been completely destroyed by Hoth.
Tully was mixed up.
Sensing Renly's mood change, the little dragon that had gotten into his clothes crawled out from his collar and climbed to the top of Renly's head to look at Robert with his little head.
"Is this your dragon?" Robert reached out and poked its head. He didn't dare to poke Werther's big one, but he wasn't afraid of the small one.
Dragons' sense of smell is not only sensitive, their bodies are generally made of magic, and their special structure can even smell the opponent's blood. Although Robert cannot establish a magical connection with dragons, he has a similar bloodline to Renly, as long as Robert doesn't want to initiate it
If you attack or want to climb on the dragon's back, the dragon will generally not take the initiative to hurt him.
The little dragon's teeth were just a few very small white protrusions. Like a cat's teeth, it could break human skin if it bit hard. But the little dragon had already discovered that Robert was not hostile and that Renly was beside him, so it started to bite hard.
He grabbed Robert's finger and began to fight with Robert's finger.
Robert's finger hurt slightly but the skin was not bitten. Seeing that the little dragon that had just hatched was so eager to fight, Robert became more energetic. He stood up and raised his hand. The little dragon didn't let go, biting Robert's index finger.
Hanging in mid-air, its two wings keep flapping.

Robert looked at the little dragon and said, "Very brave! Have you given it a name?"
Renly "Petvaha, which means mercy from spring roses, is pronounced peyt~vah~aaz~ in dragon language."
Renly's personal guards were waiting on the other side. They were also from noble families. They were supposed to meet the little princess in the hall of the Red Keep today. Because Renly said he wanted to protect the little dragon, Robert allowed them to enter here. They heard
After Xiaolong's name, they all looked at Loras Tyrell, the titled Knight of Flowers, whose emblem is the rose. Loras waved to a few people and smiled, then turned to look at Renly affectionately.
Renly saw Loras looking over and smiled at him. He turned back to Robert and said, "Little Rose is pregnant, so I gave her this name."
Robert "Congratulations! It seems that you are very affectionate to your wife. The little rose of Highgarden. You want to protect her for the rest of your life. This is a good name."
Barristan, who was standing next to Robert, heard that Little Rose was pregnant. He looked at the queen caressing Little Rose's belly. The two talked happily and felt very happy. Although he swore to give up his family, there was someone in Stormland.
Having an heir is something that every noble wants to see.
There was a knock on the door, and a soldier stood at the door: "Your Majesty the King, all the ministers of the Imperial Council have arrived at the conference hall."
"Let's go Renly, after a long day's rest, we have to go to a meeting again." Robert walked out of the gate, and the little dragon in his hand let go of his mouth and fell to the ground, crawling towards Renly.
Renly picked up the little dragon from the ground and followed Robert closely. "You seem to be very diligent. How often has the Prime Minister not held a meeting for you?"
The ministers who were originally preparing to attend today's banquet were urgently summoned to the imperial conference room. They understood the content of today's meeting when they passed by the gate of the Red Castle.
Stannis "Your Majesty, this matter should be decided by Denys Arryn of the Vale. If they don't agree, the king pardoned Lysa Tully because someone asked for mercy. I am afraid that the nobles of the Vale will be resentful."
Minister of Justice Renly "Denys Arryn and other nobles in the valley are victims, but the sentence was ordered by the king. If Denys agrees to pardon, the king should also pardon!"
Grand Maester Pycelle: "In the morning, the king has asked me to release the raven to the Eyrie City. But at night, the raven will also go to the woods to sleep and rest. It will take four days at the fastest. In the morning, I will watch Hoth."
I'm afraid Duke Te's body won't last that long."
Finance Minister Mace Tyrell "Then can we take him to the Red Keep first? He can't just kneel at the door like this."
Barristan was helpless, "We tried, but the old Duke said he wouldn't go anywhere. Even if we forcibly kidnapped him, he would go on a hunger strike without eating or drinking. And with his body and bones, I'm afraid if we touch him
He will die at any time."
Hand of the King Matus Rowan "It seems that Duke Hoster's own wish is to exchange his life for his life."
Robert looked tired and angry, "Old Hoster, how could he be so confused! Now he's putting me on the fire to roast!"
Now we are in a dilemma. The most important thing is that the attitude in the valley cannot be obtained in time, and old Horst may die there at any time. We must make a decision as soon as possible.
Without pardon, Duke Horst knelt and died in front of the Red Castle. He had upheld the laws of the kingdom. But then he received news from the valley and the valley agreed not to pursue the case. Then he became a bad person and would be embarrassed by some old people.
The heart of a noble.
Forgiveness, the laws of the kingdom cannot be guaranteed. If the valley continues to pursue the case, it will offend all the nobles in the valley.
Favors, laws, and the attitude of the valley.
Robert slapped the table and said, "Horse! Varys, do you have any relevant news? Is there anyone behind this who is instigating Duke Hoster?"
Varys "According to my information, the only people the old Duke has seen recently are his younger brothers, Edmure, Catelyn, and Lysa, all of whom are members of the Tully family. He has never met anyone outside."
Stannis "Then everyone vote!"
Mace Tyrell "Wait a minute, we don't necessarily have to pardon her, we just need to exempt her from the death penalty."
Grand Maester Pycelle "can send her to a convent to be a nun."
Renly: "No! Even though a nun has given up her family fortune and her name, she can become a bishop of the Seven Gods, or even an archbishop. Don't forget that Lysa Tully has received an excellent education. If she takes up the position in the future,
Which of you is willing to let her preside over your children's weddings in the future?"
Mace Tyrell "If you want to pardon her death penalty, then cut out her tongue, let her be a silent sister, and dispose of corpses every day. What are my suggestions?"
Renly "Anyway, I don't agree with the pardon. She deserves to die, and her scoundrel!"
At this time, the Kingsguard Linn Corbray opened the door and came in and said to everyone, "His Majesty the King, ministers, Duke Horst at the gate of the Red Castle is dead."
One life for another, and since he couldn't wait any longer, Robert himself didn't want to take the blame, "Let's vote on who agrees to pardon Lysa Tully."
Five people, including Chancellor of the Exchequer Mace Tyrell, Grand Maester Pycelle, Captain Barristan of the Kingsguard, Lord of the Sea Stannis, and Chief of Intelligence Varys, agreed.
Lord Chancellor Renly himself also opposed it on behalf of Chief Master Wirt. Rowan, Hand of the King, also opposed it.
Laura shrugged and hesitated for a long time. The conference room was quiet and no one wanted to speak.
Finally, Robert said, "Barlistan, send someone to collect Lord Hoster's body and return it to Riverrun. Pardon Lysa Tully's death penalty, but she must cut out her tongue and be a silent sister forever in Riverrun."
The bastard Robert Arryn upheld the original sentence and beheaded! Send a Kingsguard to supervise the execution."
The matter ended like this for the time being, and no one could tell whether it was done well or badly. Some people lamented that Duke Hoster loved his daughter deeply, and some people ridiculed that the laws of the kingdom were trampled on.
It wasn't until the third day that the letter crow from the valley returned. Not one letter, but letters from the nobles of the valley were sent to the Red Castle one after another.
Denys Arryn did not want to stir up hatred with the Reach, and agreed to pardon the death penalty and change it to other crimes. Other nobles in the valley agreed, some disagreed, and insisted on letting Lysa Tully die with her son. Denys Arryn
The control over the valley is insufficient, and there is not enough prestige to unify the opinions of various nobles in the valley.
Kingsguard Lyn Corbray arrived at Riverrun with King Robert's latest verdict document and the old Duke's body.
According to the king's oral instructions, Lysa Tully was allowed to attend her father's funeral before execution. The funeral followed the tradition of the Riverlands, placing the body in a boat, adding firewood and pouring kerosene, and relatives placed flowers.
The boat went down the river, and the people closest to him in life fired rockets and set the boat on fire.
On the bank of the Red Fork River where the funeral was held, all the nobles from the Riverlands were present, and the Frey family alone occupied a large area.
Under the influence of Werther, the Tully family is slightly richer than in the original world, but Edmure is still a playboy, and he has more women around him than he has ever married since becoming rich.
Next to him was the shackled Lysa Tully, who kept yelling and scolding for interference, so he showed the nobles the unique skill of the "Archer of the Reach". Three arrows failed to hit his father's boat. It was even better than the previous shot in the original world.
Even more crooked.
The one who came to the rescue was his uncle Blackfish Brynden. Blackfish Brynden did not raise any objection to the Duke's inheritance. Edmure was the old Duke's only surviving son, so the Tully family had no inheritance disputes. Edmure now became
The new Governor of the Trident was appointed, the Duke of Riverrun in the Riverlands.
In the presence of the new Duke and nobles of the Reach, Lyn Corbray cut out Lysa Tully's tongue with a dagger. Next was his son, Robert Arryn, whose hands and feet were shackled, and his mouth and
His eyes were also covered with cloth. The executioner pushed him down on the stone pier. Lysa Tully tried to run to her son regardless of the blood in her mouth, but was pushed to the ground by the soldiers. No matter how hard she struggled, she could only watch.
