Chapter 0907 - Negotiation Terms: Let Vilas confess to the crime of conspiracy
"In the name of the gods. "Lord Eddard, only your reputation and reputation are best suited to judge Velas Tyrrell. “
The gods are beliefs and the best objects to blame.
Eddard led the people of the North to King's Landing this time to surrender.
The North was once independent, and Robb Stark of the North established himself as King of the North.
Of course, on the Iron Throne at that time, sat the first emperor of the ages, Joffrey Baratheon I.
In order to secure the throne and seize power, Joffrey and Cersei must kill the Starks. Cersei killed all the soldiers, servants, and livestock that Eddard Stark brought to King's Landing, placed Sansa under house arrest, imprisoned Eddard Stark, and convicted her of rebellion, while sending the Golden-robed Men to hunt down Arya Stark.
The North is forced to declare war!
Then, during the war, Robb was proclaimed King of the North by his vassals, and was no longer loyal to Joffrey I on the Iron Throne.
Now, Joffrey I has turned to ashes, and the Iron Throne has been replaced by a new king, Duke Gregor Clegane, known as the Magic Mountain.
The Magic Mountain, who rescued Eddard Stark in the dungeon of the Red Keep, instructed the little demon to rescue Sansa in the virgin Curie of the Red Keep, befriended Arya while in Harrenhal, and secretly disobeyed Arya and encouraged her to cross the Narrow Sea to Braavos to become the Faceless One in the Black and White Courtyard.
In Twin Rivers, Robb and Eddard teamed up to defeat the Scarlet Wedding orchestrated by Frey and the Bolton family, and in Winterfell, the Mountain rode a dragon and armed with an ice sword, and with the help of Angai's arrows, killed the Night King and put an end to the army of strangers.
This King of the Magic Mountain is not Joffrey I.
Before Sansa and Renard's wedding, Eddard Stark and the northern vassals decided to swear allegiance to the new king and return to the Iron Throne. This is a real return in the political sense, and at the same time, the northern border is facing the threat of winter, lack of food and clothing, and needs more assistance from the Magic Mountain.
After killing the Night King, the Magic Mountain saved the entire North, but in the dead of winter, if there is a lack of food and clothing, most of the people of the North will still die.
The war consumed much of the supplies in the north.
And as long as the long summer is, the cold winter will be as long as it is.
Eleven years of long summer, eleven years of bitter winter.
In the eleventh year of winter, the weather in the north was cold, agriculture was stagnant, and the people's livelihood was supported by the food stored in the summer.
And only the river bend land is the real granary of the Seven Kingdoms.
The Tully family's Riverlands were also plains and granaries, but they suffered the worst of the civil wars, and the battlefields were mainly concentrated in the lands of the Riverlands.
The scarcity of goods in the riverlands caused by the killing, plundering, burning, and looting of the war is obvious.
In contrast, only the southernmost parts of Dorne and the Bends in the Crimson Mountains were largely protected from the ravages of war.
If the northern border is independent, it will not be able to obtain food support from the riverbends.
The army of strangers threatens the safety of the entire continent of Westeros, and the magic mountain sends troops, not only to save the people of the north, but also to save themselves. After the end of the Wraithical War, it will be absolutely impossible for the north to reach out to the south again for food and supplies. No one would use their food reserves in the dead of winter to support the independent Northerners.
Surrendering to the Demon Mountain is actually the best choice for the people of the North.
Most of the nobles in the north can survive the winter, but most of the people in the north can't survive the winter on their own.
Eddard Stark is a prince who loves his people like a son, and he can't watch the people of the North freeze and starve to death in the dead of winter.
So, after the wedding of Sansa and Renard Westerling, Eddard returned to the North, and spent more than a month leading his vassals from the North to King's Landing, kneeling before the Demon Mountain, and swearing allegiance and submission.
The North returns to the reign of the Iron Throne.
The Demon Mountain soldiers are bloodless, and they don't need to use the many soft and hard words they have carefully prepared to accept the allegiance of Duke Eddard Stark.
When the Mountain asks Eddard to judge Velas Tyrell, Eddard groans because he feels that it would be inappropriate and disrespectful for him to refuse the king's request when he returns.
Ed is a man of integrity!
Magic Mountain saw Ed's hesitation.
"Then it's decided, Lord Eddard. Magic Mountain said categorically and slapped the board.
Dealing with a chivalrous man like Ed requires a quick cut.
The evidence and witnesses for framing Velas Tyrell have been prepared by the Magic Mountain for a long time. Intelligence Secretary Bernie also prepared witnesses from across the Narrow Sea.
One of Velas Tyrells's crimes was to collude with the people of the Free Trade City-State on the other side of the Narrow Sea to subvert the Iron Throne, in an attempt to unite the legions of the Free Trade City-State to attack King's Landing after the assassination of the King.
Eddard Stark only had to sit on the bench of the presiding judge to have seamless evidence and witness testimony.
Of course, the plan wasn't seamless. The only gap is Velas Tyrell herself.
As long as Velas Tyrell himself does not admit the charges and presents strong counter-evidence, he cannot be convicted.
From Willas Tyrellle as a breakthrough, there is a lot of evidence and materials that can be used to overturn the magic mountain and Bernie.
So the only thing Moshan has to do is to force Willas Tyrell to confess first, so that he can voluntarily admit all the accusations.
In this way, the case of Velas Tyrelll's rebellion was settled as a matter of course.
The Magic Mountain perfectly controlled the granary of the Seven Kingdoms.
His brother Renard Tyrell will be able to sit on the throne of the Lord of Riverlands and rebuild the city of High Court. Sansa Stark is also the mistress of the High Court.
Since then, the Magic Mountain has completed the unification of the Westeros continent.
Then, the front of the army pointed to the other side of the Narrow Sea, and he will burn the war to the continent of Essos in the bitter winter, and unify the continent of Essos, which is several times larger than Westeros.
The only thing left to do now is to make sure that Velas Tyrell will not retract his confession in the trial and make this case of rebellion to death!
For this reason, the Magic Mountain decided to talk to Velas Tyrell beforehand.
Ideological work needs to be done in advance!
*
Vilas Tyrell sat on the cold ground, surrounded by darkness.
He has never suffered such pain.
Vilas decides to commit suicide.
The Magic Mountain wants him to die, and he can't resist.
Instead of suffering sins and humiliation, it is better to end your own life first.
Velas groped for the ground, which was nothing sharp except that it was cold as ice.
He was lame and had limited mobility.
When his hands were so cold that he felt numb, Vilas decided to hit the wall.
He felt the hardness and coldness of the stone wall above his head.
If this touch does not die, then I will admit even greater pain.
Vilas Tyrell hesitated.
He tried to touch it, and the pain immediately caused him to snort.
Touching his forehead with an unconscious hand, there was no scar on his forehead.
But it hurts so much!
I don't know how long it took for Villas to find himself sitting on the ground like a block of ice.
As it gets colder and colder, before losing consciousness, Vilas finally realizes that he lacks the courage to commit suicide.
"Hey!"
A gentle voice woke Vilas Tyrell to life.
The cold disappeared and warmth and softness enveloped him.
He opened his eyes and saw the Magic Mountain, Petyr Berish the Littlefinger, and a nobleman in a high-end dress who was not much taller than a dwarf. After settling down, Villas remembered that the little man was the Minister of Intelligence, Bernie Clegane.
All three were looking down at Vilas, smiling.
Villas saw three wolves with fangs ready to tear him apart.
The mountain reached out and helped Velas Tyrell to his feet.
Velas Tyrell found herself in a luxurious bedroom, warm and with a fire in the fireplace.
"Your Majesty. "Vilas Tyrell is a nobleman, and he has his own customary etiquette to follow. He struggled to his knees.
"No need to salute, you have inconvenient legs. Magic Mountain said. One of his hands gently patted Vilas on the shoulder, stopping Vilas from moving.
Littlefinger smiled narrowly: "My lord, a glass of wine?"
"Thank you, sir. ”
A glass of wine from Qingting Island was handed to Velas Tyrell, the smell of wine that had not been seen for a long time - you must know that all the way from the High Court to King's Landing, Villas was not treated well as a prisoner.
With a glass of wine, Velas Tyrelll's pale face returned to some blood.
"My lord, I have a story to tell you. Littlefinger Petyr Berishe laughed.
"Your Excellency, please. ”
Bernie reached out and took the empty wine glass from Vilas's hand, "Lord Vilas, please let me pour you another drink." ”
Vilas let go of his hand, and Bernie took the glass.
Littlefinger smiled, "Lord Vilas, Joffrey was poisoned to death at the wedding, and I arranged for the poisoner. ”
Vilas looked at the Magic Mountain with suspicious eyes, looked at Littlefinger, looked at Bernie, and didn't say anything.
What did Littlefinger mean by saying these words to him, before he was condemned to death?
Bernie handed Vilas the glass with which he poured the wine.
"Thank you!" Villas took and took a big sip.
"The poison at Joffrey and Margaery Tyrelll's wedding was all arranged by me. Littlefinger smiled ostentatiously.
"Oh!" Vilas replied vaguely.
"Guess what, who instructed me to poison me?"
Vilas's gaze was on the Magic Mountain.
The Magic Mountain is now sitting on the Iron Throne, and Little Finger told the secret of the poisoning on such an occasion, it was not the Magic Mountain's instructions, who else could it be?
"No!" Littlefinger laughed, "the person who instructed me to poison me is the person you respect and know the most." ”
“...... I can't guess, my lord......."
"Give it a try, try to name a few people. ”
“...... All I know is that the person who poisoned him was later found out by His Majesty the King to be Oberon the Red Viper and Tyrion the Devil. ”
"It's not them, it's Lady Olenna Redwin, Queen of Thorns. ”
The glass in Vilas's hand flickered, and liquor spilled from the glass.
"............" Velas Tyrell's face turned sickly pale, "Lord Petyr, I am about to be beheaded, and my grandmother herself has been poisoned at the wedding feast, and there is no point in you humiliating her so much. ”
"Your grandmother has been poisoned, and what is the point of me lying in front of a man who is about to die, meaningless!" a narrow smile hung on the corner of Little Finger's mouth.
"What the Duke of Petyr Berishe said is true. Demon Mountain said in a deep voice.
"............" Velas Tyrell stared at the Magic Mountain, unable to speak.
"Joffrey is a monster, a beast, and a bastard. Littlefinger laughed, "It's not important that he is a bastard, the important thing is that he is a monster, with the shrewdness of Lady Olenna Redwin, she will never marry her favorite Margaery Tyrell to a monster who will torment her and humiliate her, and most importantly, she will never be able to control him, but she can't refuse this marriage, the Tyrells have tried everything they can to get a place in the palace." So Lady Olenna decided to poison Joffrey at the wedding. No one would suspect her. She personally took Margaery by the hand and gave her to Joffrey, who then poisoned Joffrey herself. ”
“...... There's no way she's going to poison herself......" Velas Tyrrell's neck grew thicker and redder, and she was breathing heavily. He felt humiliated.
"You're not wrong at all, it was when I poisoned the poisoner, and by the way, let the poisoner put a little in Lady Olenna's meal. In this way, no one would ever suspect that it was Joffrey, who was ordered to be poisoned by Lady Olenna Redwin, for she herself would never have poisoned herself at the same time. Littlefinger smiled, not hiding his smugness.
Velas Tyrell's gaze withdrew from Littlefinger's face, and he looked at the glass in his hand.
He drank the wine from his glass in one gulp, and coughed heavily.
The coughing finally subsided.
The Mountain stared at Velas Tyrell.
Vilas's expression gradually regained his composure, and the red tide faded from his face, slowly returning to pale.
"I don't want to kill you. "In the kingdom's civil wars and all sorts of political struggles, you are the most innocent, and you are a good man, Vilas. ”
Velas stared at the Demon Mountain and slowly smiled.
"I sent someone to bring your favorite thing. Demon Mountain shouted out the door.
The door opened, and the two brothers, the Kingsguard Gubler, brought in an eagle and a sheepdog.
Vilas's eyes lit up suddenly.
These are two old friends who have been with him for many years, and they are also his favorites.
Dog training and eagle training has always been Vilas's favorite thing to do. When he was not a duke, in the years after he broke his leg, raising eagles and training dogs became the whole of his life.
He didn't see General Renard bring back his two favorite pets for him.
Vilas held out his hand, and the eagle flapped its wings and flew up his shoulder.
The tall and fierce sheepdog had already come to his master's side, and the man stood up and licked his tongue at his master's face.
"In addition to bringing you two good friends, I am also ready to spare you a life so that you can live comfortably until you die of old age. Magic Mountain said.
Of course, if Velas is left with his life, the Magic Mountain is conditional! The place where Velas is placed, the Magic Mountain has also been thought of - the North of the North: The Great Wall of Desperation!
