"How do you think Toman died?" Tyrion's tone turned cold, "Jaime knew that your sister killed Toman, but he decided to use Toman's death to settle the grudge between the two families. But you gave him a good beating.
His head was knocked out, and he still hasn't recovered after half a month of rest. "
"Arya killed Toman?" Jon was shocked.
"Your sister already admitted it. She poisoned the cat's claws and used a shapeshifter to sneak into the Red Keep and kill Toman."
"Even if she killed him, isn't it too much for Jaime to use Toman to settle the debt with Stark's family?" Jon asked.
"You dare to compare numbers with me?" Tyrion mocked.
"You have to consider cause and effect. Why did Arya go to Casterly Rock, and why did Stark have a grudge with Lannister?" Jon's eyes were sharp.
Tyrion stared at him for a long time before walking forward again, "We will never reach a consensus if we continue this discussion.
The Great Trial is indeed necessary. I just hope that the Dragon Queen is as fair and just as the Holy Father. "
Jon's tense face relaxed, and he said confidently, "I believe in the Dragon Queen. She is your sister, so you should trust her even more."
The change of topic thawed the cold atmosphere between the two.
"Sigh, sometimes I wonder if she will laugh under her blanket after seeing the empty Casterly Rock." The dwarf sighed.
Jon held back his laughter, "That's nothing. Lannister wiped out her family and killed her nephew and niece when they were young. She has a reason to gloat over what happened to Casterly Rock.
In fact, when the news of Casterly Rock reached King's Landing, nine out of ten people smiled. The only one who knew better only said that the timing was not right.
You Lannister should really reflect on yourselves. You always do things so ruthlessly. You will suffer retribution sooner or later. "
"Shouldn't I be the one saying that to you?" Tyrion's face turned cold again.
Jon shook his head. "There's no need for us to waste time repeating the previous topic. Today is the day of the trial."
After that, the two of them walked all the way to the main hall of the Farman Castle. It was already packed with people.
Although it was packed with people, the castle hall was only so big. It could only accommodate about four hundred people.
The courtroom was located in the center of the hall. The huge wooden armchair that was half a meter above the floor belonged to the Dragon Queen. On both sides of the courtroom were three distinct rows of seats for the nobles.
Below, two Unsullied were guarding a four-meter-long horizontal bar, blocking the surrounding mercenary knights, commoners of status, singers, poets, merchants, and craftsmen.
The Farman family's soldiers stood guard outside the castle while Dragon Queen's White Knight led the Unsullied to maintain order in the hall.
The surviving lords of the Western Region had all arrived and were seated in the audience seats to the left of the Dragon Queen. Many of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms had also arrived and were seated to the right.
The dwarf and Jon separated. One of them went to the first seat on the left, while the other went to the first seat on the right. They sat across from each other with a three-meter-wide space between them.
After a month of preparation, the standard of this trial was really high. It could almost be considered a "frugal" version of the Great Council.
In addition to Tyrion, the sickly Jaime had also come. His cheeks were thin and his eyes seemed to be covered with a thick fog of pain and confusion, causing him to lose his direction in life.
Sansa, who was holding her daughter, sat next to Jon. She wore a white hairnet with blue diamonds and a dark purple cashmere dress. It accentuated her graceful figure and her skin was as white as snow.
Compared to the past, her face was less sharp and uneasy. Her temperament was calm and confident, and her body had the elegance and gentleness of a mature woman.
Especially when she looked at the infant in the swaddling clothes, her beautiful blue eyes seemed to be blooming with spring.
After the dwarf sat down, his eyes were nailed to her and he couldn't look away. Right next to Sansa was his fiancée, Ariane.
The Dornish princess also saw her fiancé's dazed expression, but she thought that he was like Jaime, immersed in pain and emptied his mind.
The dwarf and Jaime's expressions were rather similar. Anyone who saw them would not doubt that they were a pair of pitiful brothers in grief.
Behind Ariane sat a few Sand Snakes. They were the ones who were "overjoyed" when Jon first heard about what happened to Casterly Rock.
They didn't hide their schadenfreude at all.
They weren't the only ones. When news of Casterly Rock's fall and Lannister's massacre spread to Dorne, Prince Daolang first sighed and said that the Seven Kingdoms were in big trouble. He then forgot about the millions of ghouls and ran two laps around Flowing Water Garden in excitement.
Of course, this was fake news. Daolang's lower limbs were paralyzed. Even though he had been treated by a priest a few times, he could only walk with crutches.
However, the nobles of Sun Halberd City also admitted that the prince held an unprecedentedly grand banquet that night. He invited all the knights, nobles, and poets in the city. At the banquet, the prince couldn't hide the smile on his face. He even danced with every Sand Snake.
Next to Ariane sat Erlu's King's Hand, Davos. He looked tired and his eyes were dull. No one knew what he was thinking.
Next to Davos was the complacent "Bronze" Jon.
Although the vassals of the valley had suffered heavy losses in the explosion at King's Landing, this tall and thin old count was in good spirits. Because Ayrin had no children, he became the new Valley Guardian. In the future, he even had hopes of becoming the Lord of the Eyrie. This was a promise that Erlu had made to win him over.
After that, there was "Laughter" Baylor with a worried expression, "Dark Fish" Blinden with a sad face, several Frey's daughters who had married other families, and Robb's wife, Jeanne Westerling …
Even Asha Greyjoy came.
However, the sea monster's situation was a little awkward. She took off her leather armor and changed into a cumbersome dress that she didn't like but couldn't wear for today's occasion. She sat "alone" at the end of the first row on the right.
No one spoke to her.
The people around her looked at her even more viciously than the nobles of the Western Region looked at Stark.
When almost everyone had arrived, the Dragon Queen also waited for a while. Around nine o 'clock, she entered the hall accompanied by Barristan and Bevos.
For today's trial, the nobles present all changed into solemn attire. The Dragon Queen was no exception.
She wore a sapphire blue lantern sleeved top and a silver high-waisted pterosaur leather skirt with rubies. She was elegant and dignified, but her hair …
Hair needed to be decorated. Bald hair paired with a dress was as inappropriate as wearing slippers to work. Even the peasant women in the countryside would wear lace headbands on important occasions as long as their family's conditions allowed it.
The ladies in the hall all wore hair accessories, such as Sansa's crystal hair net and Yalaine's reddish-gold hair clip.
Logically speaking, wearing a delicate and small crown at this time was befitting of Danny's status.
If they were in Winterfell, Sansa would wear it. If they were in Sun Halberd City, Yalaine would also wear it.
However, apart from the three-headed dragon crown that the Tourmaline Brotherhood had created for her when she first debuted, Dani had never had a crown of her own, nor had she ever worn one. Honey Wine River's "Crown of Love and Beauty" did not count.
Today, she only used a headband to tie her silver hair behind her head.
The headband was made of gold, red, and green ribbons, which contrasted with her full forehead and silver hair. It should have looked simple and playful, but for some reason, the people around felt that the Dragon Queen had never been as sacred and majestic as she was now. She was like a god walking to the altar, lowering herself to sit on the throne of the mortal world.
The layman watched the show, while the expert watched the artistry.
Tyrion and Sansa were Extraordinaries. They noticed that the Queen's headband was unusual. They seemed to have understood something, but they were still confused.
Jon's cultivation was higher than theirs. After a moment of shock, he opened his eyes wide and said in shock, "Gods, the world is singing for her. This is the aura of the Song of Laws!
The Song of Laws is materialized like a real thing, and there are three of them. What realm is this? True God? "
Under the respectful gazes of the people around her, the Dragon Queen sat on her high back chair.
Then, two Unsullied wearing spiked helmets escorted Arya to the bottom of the stage.
Erya did not wear shackles. Instead, she wore a gray sheepskin jacket. The gray cashmere was exposed. It was fluffy and looked quite festive.
Moreover, compared to her previous skinny and yellow body, she was obviously fatter. Her skin was fairer and smoother. It was as if the month in prison was not a punishment for her, but a rest for her.
"Everyone knows the reason for today's trial," Danny emphasized. "The real reason is the Rebellion of the Four Princes."
After a pause, she continued, "Arya Stark's poisoning of eight hundred and seventy-four people in Casterly Rock City is just a small end to a series of immoral events in recent years. The purpose of today's trial is to prevent it from being the beginning of the next series of tragedies."
"I hope that the sins that have shrouded the families in the past and the hatred that has been buried in their hearts can be put to an end after the trial."
"That depends on whether the results are satisfactory or not," Tyrion muttered.
His voice wasn't loud, but the hall was silent. Everyone heard him and looked over.
Danny also looked at him and said, "As the victim of the Casterly Rock City incident, tell us, how can we satisfy you?"
Tyrion looked up, his gaze falling on the two Stark in front of him. "First, I need to make sure that the real culprits in Casterly Rock City have been caught."
"Jon Stark, tell us, is there anyone behind Arya Stark, or is there an accomplice?" Danny asked.
He stood up and said solemnly, "I swear to the gods, I did not know that Arya would go to Casterly Rock City, nor did I know that she was avenging Stark."
Danny nodded and looked at the next Stark. "Sansa Stark?"
Sansa stood up with the baby in her arms, her expression changing a few times. Finally, she sighed and said, "Before the Battle of Winterfell, I saw Arya for the first time after my father's accident. I knew that she was kidnapped to Braavos and trained to be a Faceless —"
"Hiss …" The hall was filled with gasps, and then they pointed at Erya in the center of the hall.
"Seven Gods above, I've actually seen the legendary Faceless One."
"The Faceless lives up to her name!"
"I was wondering why she was so cruel at such a young age and a noble lady. Now it makes sense, she is a Faceless. "
"Actually, I was wondering before. The deaths of Freyr and Lannister in Casterly Rock City were very similar to the snake lizard poison used by the Faceless in the play. So they really are Faceless."
"You took the play seriously?"
"But Arya Stark's experience is almost the same as the characters in Dr. Wargrave's play. They were both kidnapped when they were young and brainwashed into cold-blooded demons."
Everyone looked at Erya with a trace of pity in their eyes.
