The big man was shocked by Danny's sudden outburst and took two steps back. When he came to his senses, he was abnormally ashamed of his momentary cowardice. He pointed at Danny and scolded, "Look at you, your face is red from eating. Your cheeks are fatter than ours. You must be a heartless scoundrel!"
"Are you blind? My cheeks are fat?" Danny placed her right hand on her left waist but felt nothing. She turned her head to look at the old professor who was leaning against the wall. He was hugging two longswords.
"Am I fat?" she asked the old man.
The red-nosed old man looked around and pointed at the refugees nearby. He nodded and said, "Compared to them, your little baby fat is indeed too eye-catching."
"Okay, I'm fat." Danny's face darkened as she questioned the big man. "I don't believe it. During the harvest season in summer, do you also look like skeletons? Were you also heartless at that time? You're poor, but you blame others for having enough to eat. What's the meaning of this? "
The big man was stunned. He recalled the carefree days of drinking and eating in Winterfell and could not refute her words.
"Let me ask you, have you ever killed anyone?" he asked again.
"Of course I have. I killed a few Blood Tricksters at the black inn at the crossroads. Do you appreciate each other and want to avenge them?"
"This …" The big man scratched the back of his head. He was a little muddle-headed.
"Why are you talking so much to her?" The young man from the north walked over and asked, "Do you have gold royals?"
"Yes."
"Then it's fine. You have gold royals and we lack gold royals to save lives. This is a sin! Hand over the money and hang yourself. "The young man announced.
"She's a good person." Friar Meribad could not help but defend Danny. "Miss Knight was the first to rush out to fight the Blood Tricksters to protect the children in the inn. She also intends to buy food to help the poor in Hejian. If you want more people to live, it's best to let her go. "
"Really?" The big man looked at the long-legged Jenny.
"I think she did say that, but I'm not sure if she can keep her promise." Jenny said hesitantly.
The big man thought for a moment and sighed, "Then you stand aside first. Wait for Madam to finish judging that lion, then we'll see how she deals with you."
Madam Stone Heart moved her gaze away from the parchment. Her right hand reached under her chin and grabbed her neck, as if she wanted to strangle herself. Her voice was intermittent and hoarse as she gasped for breath. It sounded very much like the sound of someone dying. It made one's blood run cold.
"What did she say?" Danny asked.
"She asked the lion the name of the sword," said the young man from the Northern Territory.
"Oathkeeper," Britney replied.
Madam Stone Heart's eyes burned like two charcoal fires in the shadows. She appeared extremely angry, and her throat once again emitted a sound like a blade scraping against glass.
Jenny said, "Madam said that it should be called 'Sword of Broken Oath' or 'False Friend'. It is used for betrayal and murder, just like you."
"Who did I lie to?"
"Have you forgotten that you once swore to serve her?" The northerner pointed at Madam Stone Heart.
Even though she had already guessed it, Danny couldn't help but exclaim, "How is this possible? You actually resurrected her?!"
Britney exclaimed almost at the same time, "Impossible, Madam Stark is already dead."
"Yes, death is the right of a guest," Jenny murmured bitterly, "From then on, their meaning was different from before."
Madam Stone Heart glanced at Danny with her glowing red eyes. She reached out her chicken claw-like hands to lower her hood and untied the grey wool scarf on her face, revealing her bone-white dry hair and mottled grey-green forehead, mixed with brown rotting spots.
Strips of minced flesh were attached to her face, from her eyes to her chin. Some of the gaps were covered with dried blood clots, and some even revealed the white skull underneath.
"Madam Caitlin?!" Britney and Barristan exclaimed.
"Seven Gods above," Dr. Perestan looked as if he had seen a ghost. His face was pale, "You are dead. You died at the Red Wedding."
Soros said, "That's right. Frey slit her throat from one ear to the other. When we found her by the river, she had already been dead for three days.
Harwin asked me to give her the kiss of life, but it had been too long, and her body had already rotted and deformed, so I refused.
Perhaps Count Bailey had been resurrected too many times, and every time he was resurrected, a part of his soul would be lost, and his memories of the past would decrease … There were even more serious side effects.
He was once young, handsome, and strong, but in the end, he was emaciated, his hair was white, and his body was covered in wounds. I could feel that he was living in torment every moment.
So, he replaced me and placed his lips on hers, passing the flame of his life to her. Then … the King of Light blessed her, and Madam was resurrected. "
"This … shouldn't be true." The old professor's worldview had collapsed.
This world was so unreal. Was there any point in us thinking about exterminating the Megalosaurus?
The belief that had supported him all his life suddenly collapsed, and the old professor despaired.
"Madam, I didn't betray you!" Britney cried.
Harwin translated Madam Stone Heart's words, "Words are like the wind, prove yourself with actions."
"How do you prove it?"
"Kill Jaime, Lannister, and use this sword, the Sword of Oath."
Britney was stunned, and stammered as she defended Jaime, "Madam, it's not what you think. Jaime, he … when we were captured by the Blooddancers, he saved me from being raped. Then he came back for me, and jumped into the bear pit with his bare hands … I swear to you, he's not an oathbreaker. He sent me to find Sansa, to protect her safety. He couldn't have been involved in the Red Wedding. "
Danny could see that this silly girl had fallen in love with Jaime.
Every word she said for the Kingslayer was from her own feelings: He saved me, protected my chastity, he saved me twice from the giant bear with his bare hands, so he's a good person, and a good person wouldn't go back on his words.
Madam Stone Heart's fingers dug deep into her neck, and with a voice that made one's scalp tingle, she spoke intermittently.
"You have to choose, either use the sword to kill the Kingslayer, or be hanged as a traitor," the northerner translated.
Britney shook her head firmly, "Neither."
Madam Stone Heart was silent for a long time, and then spat out a word, "Hanged!"
Uh, everyone understood this time.
"Wait," Danny stepped forward before the bandits dragged Britney away, and looked at the monstrous Catelyn, "It's obvious that you're pushing your responsibility onto someone else."
"Hiss, hiss, hiss …" Madam Stoneheart hissed like a venomous snake. The northerner immediately rebuked her, "You have no right to speak here. We'll judge you after we hang these three lions."
"Madam, you're not even afraid of death, are you afraid of hearing the truth? Don't you want to know how your family ended up in such a pathetic state? "
Danny crossed her arms in front of her chest, and said calmly, "Stark's family style is the best among the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. There's no mother who cares more about her children than you, and no father who loves his family more than Eide Stark, and no father who is more righteous. Your children are also very smart, but how did they end up in such a state? "
Catelyn's charcoal eyes dimmed, and she pushed away the northerner who came to pull Danny, and spat out a word, "You say it."
"Because you trusted the wrong person!" Danny sighed, and pointed at Britney, "Take her for example, anyone with a normal brain and a little experience can see at a glance that Miss Britney is sincere, kind, loyal, and brave.
It's a perfect match to have such a person as a guard, and any king can sleep peacefully with a guardian knight like her. "
"Miss, you flatter me." Britney blushed and twisted, "I'm not that good."
"Yes, you're not that good, your brain is not good, and you're naive to the point of stupidity. That's your weakness."
Danny rolled her eyes, and continued to speak to Madam Stoneheart, "Madam Catelyn, do you know how she found your daughter Sansa?
She asked everyone she met on the way, 'Have you seen a 13-year-old red-haired virgin, very beautiful?'
So, do you understand?
You shouldn't have sent such a simple-minded person to deal with Lannister.
Not to mention the Kingslayer, what kind of ruthless characters are the imps and Duke Tywin?
For the purest person in the Seven Kingdoms to accept the task of negotiating with the most treacherous person in the Seven Kingdoms, there's nothing more ridiculous than this. "
"That makes sense …" The big Harwin muttered.
Jenny, Soros, and the young northerner nodded in agreement. They didn't think there was a problem before, but after this female knight said it, they suddenly felt uncomfortable in their hearts, 'How stupid is our boss to make such a choice?'
Madam Stoneheart's expression changed a few times, and finally said unwillingly, "The Kingslayer, swear to me."
Danny facepalmed, "The heavens have pity on you, you already called him the Kingslayer, a white knight who killed the king, you expect him to keep his oath?
You know, when he put on the white robe, he swore a sacred oath, it's a hundred thousand times more valuable than your oath with a sword on your neck. "
Britney couldn't help but say, "Sir Jaime didn't break his oath, he arranged for me to —"
"Idiot, don't make a fool of yourself here!" Dani scolded her unceremoniously. She asked the brawny woman in return, "Were you arrested by Roose Bolton?"
"Yes, Jaime saved me, and —"
Danny waved her hand, and asked again, "Did Lothbolton betray Robb Stark, and collude with Tywin and Waldfrey?"
"Yes." Britney was honest, and didn't say any more nonsense.
"Did Lothbolton's men cut off the Kingslayer's hand?"
"It's the Blood Dancer, the Blood Dancer who betrayed Duke Tywin and turned to Bolton."
"In the end, Lothbolton arranged for his men to escort you and the Kingslayer to King's Landing?"
"I thought Lothbolton listened to me about the negotiations, and obeyed Lady Caitlin's orders," Britney argued.
"Yes, with your intelligence, it's normal to be fooled so easily, but now? Now you already know about the Red Wedding, you know that Lothbolton has already betrayed Stark, and now you still think that there's nothing unusual about what happened in Helenburg? "
Britney's expression changed dramatically, and said with a trembling voice, "You mean, Sir Jaime knows …"
"Whether he knows about the Blood Wedding, I'm not sure. But at that time, Jaime must have negotiated the price with Bolton to betray Stark in front of you. From that moment on, Bolton will participate in the Blood Wedding without any scruples, and the tragedy of the northerners is doomed. “
Danny looked at Madam Stoneheart and said, "You shouldn't have let the Kingslayer go in the first place. After knowing that his heir is safe, Tywin lost his only concern about the Blood Wedding.
With his intelligence, he must have guessed that Jaime had an agreement with you. But even if he fulfilled his son's vow, it would have been meaningless to you, because the direwolf would have been finished by then.
If you let Sansa go, where can she go?
The Northern Territory already belongs to Bolton, and Frey of River Delta City won't let the remnants of the House of Stark go.
If I were Tywin, I would definitely fulfill my son's reputation as a man of his word. I would even make this matter known to everyone and release Sansa in public. I would let everyone in the Seven Kingdoms know that Lannister's words were as good as gold.
Then I would use Bolton and Frey's hands to get rid of the problem. Sansa can never decide the direction of the situation, but Jaime and Robb can, but you chose your own daughter. "
"You," Doctor Perestan pointed at Danny and said in horror, "You're ruthless, even more vicious than Tywin!"
The bandits couldn't help but take a step back, looking at Danny in horror, as if she had really become Tywin, and then carried out the above vicious plan.
