"You admit your crimes and accept your punishment, but you don't want to die. What do you want to do?" Danny asked.
Arya smirked. "If it's possible, I'd like to wear a black robe."
Everyone looked at each other.
Danny smiled. "You wish. Too bad the Great Wall doesn't recruit women."
"Your Majesty, the Great Wall has a dozen castles. You can choose one of them and set it up as a female battalion. Women should have the chance to wear black if they make a mistake, "Arya said.
"Your suggestion is good. I'll keep it in mind. But even if the new rule is to be implemented, it has to wait until the Great Wall is repaired and the Long Night is over. Then the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms will sit together and discuss it." Danny shook her head.
Arya wanted to say more, but the crow on her shoulder pecked her ear and said, "Your Majesty, Arya can wear the gray robe and swear to join the Sisters of Silence and serve the Seven Gods forever."
"Holy shit!" The dwarf slapped his forehead and cursed. "I've never seen such a shameless person!"
"A woman joining the Sisters of Silence is no different from a man joining the Night Watch, right?" Jaime didn't understand his brother's reaction, but he thought it was reasonable.
"You don't understand. This is surrender, offering, and being in the same boat!" The dwarf covered his face and groaned.
Jaime really didn't understand.
Danny looked at Arya strangely. "You're willing to join the church?"
"I …" Arya hesitated. She turned to Jon and Sansa. They nodded.
"I'm willing."
Danny asked again, "Do you know what the Silence sisters are?"
Arya thought for a moment and said, "The Sisters of Silence are special nuns. They only serve strangers, and they swear to abstain from sex and silence.
That's why the Silence sisters are also known as the 'Strangers' Wives'.
They wear gray robes and use a hood to cover their faces, only revealing their eyes. Their daily job is to be a mortician and take care of the bodies. "
Danny nodded. She scanned the people in the hall and asked, "What do you think?"
"In theory, giving up one's worldly identity and status and swearing an oath to join the Sisters of Silence can indeed exempt one from the death penalty." Count Farman slowly said.
"She can become Nun Silence, just like how a man can become a Night Watcher after donning the black robe" Laughing Baylor said.
"The Holy Mother is merciful. Repenting her sins to the Seven Gods for the rest of her life can also offset her sins." Bronze Yohn nodded in agreement.
A group of neutral nobles did not object because this was also in line with the traditions of the Seven Kingdoms.
Joining the Silence sisters was the only way out for women who were guilty but didn't want to die.
"Then put on the grey robe and join Sister Silence." Danny couldn't find a reason to object.
The expressions of the Stark and the others relaxed, while the dwarf's eyes were filled with resentment.
"Well, that's all for today." Danny stood up and was about to announce the end of the meeting.
"Wait." The big crow stopped her and said, "Your Majesty, I have two more things."
"What's the matter?" Danny sat back down curiously.
"Your Majesty, Arya has caused great harm to the Western Region and the Seven Kingdoms. Punishment is necessary, but more importantly, compensation is needed."
Danny was even more surprised. "How do you plan to compensate the Seven Kingdoms and the Western Region?"
"Stark is willing to provide 500,000 tons of food to relieve the refugees of the Seven Kingdoms and the Western Region." Bran threw out a Sudden Thunder. Sansa and Jon were the first to change their expressions. When the nobles and commoners in the hall came back to their senses, they shouted in disbelief.
"Seven Gods, 500,000 tons, is Stark bragging? “
"Isn't the Northern Region the poorest Duke's family in the Seven Kingdoms? During the Battle of Winterfell, they even asked the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms to provide supplies and knights. "
"Don't forget Sansa Stark. I heard that she hid more than 300,000 tons of food on Tass Island (actually, it was 500,000 tons, but 200,000 tons were given to Aunt Danny)."
"That's still not enough."
"Duke Jon seems to have taken out a loan to buy more than 200,000 tons of food before the Long Night."
"Sss, they're going to donate all of it!"
"I remember that she promised to give the King's Landing 100,000 tons of food."
"Hehe, didn't you hear? They're going to relieve the refugees of the Seven Kingdoms, including the King's Landing. "
"Even so, they're sincere enough to donate all of their food."
.....
Everyone in the hall was in a heated discussion. In the mental dimension that ordinary people couldn't detect, the three Stark's were also arguing.
"Bran, you didn't mention this before." Sansa's expression was unpleasant, and she almost flew into a rage. Fortunately, Bran knew his sister well and pulled her mental strength into his mind.
"Bran, if we give away all our food, what will we eat?" Jon was worried.
"In the past month, three million people died in the south of the Neck Marsh. This news spread through Dragonstone Island's Mana Net hub. The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms know about it. What do you think they'll think of Stark? "Bran said calmly.
"Not all of them were killed by Other Ghosts, and Arya has already been punished," Sansa said.
"It's hard to calm the people!" Bran sounded helpless. "Three million people is equivalent to one-fifth of the Seven Kingdoms' population. Can you imagine how big of an impact this will have on the people of the Seven Kingdoms?
The Seven Kingdoms have never had such a large number of deaths.
Two years later, the Seven Kingdoms will have a large-scale famine, and people will starve to death everywhere. Only Stark will be alive and well. What do you think they'll think? "
"Do they want us to starve to death with them?" Sansa said coldly.
"At least, let the Seven Kingdoms think that we're starving like everyone else. How many people are there in Stark and the North? Isn't giving out food to the North a form of relief? "Bran said.
"I have other plans, not just to save the North," Sansa said hesitantly.
"If the Seven Kingdoms hate Stark, you'll never be the queen," Bran said bluntly.
Sansa's embarrassment turned into anger, and she immediately left the Stark chat group.
.....
When the discussion in the hall died down, the big crow said, "Your Majesty, you're still lacking a White Knight, right?"
Danny was stunned.
Tyrion's mouth twitched, and he muttered softly, "I was wondering why he dared to expose his background to the world. It turns out that he had long since thought of looking for a powerful backer.
Being omniscient doesn't mean being omnipotent. Mortals feared but were disrespectful, so they were bound to harbor jealousy and evil intentions.
Now, one is omniscient, and the other is omnipotent. The two of them are in cahoots, and in the end, one of them is the strongest. Darkness, the Westeros won't be able to make a name for themselves in the future! "
"What did you say?" Jaime, who was beside him, asked in puzzlement.
"Little Bran is finally going to realize his childhood dream and become a legendary knight like Barristan!" Tyrion said in a strange tone.
The puzzled people around him immediately understood, and they were shocked.
The world has changed. From today onwards, the Dragon Queen, who subdued the Three-Eyed Crow, will be the ruler of the Westeros!
She wasn't a queen, she was the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms!
When the nobles in the hall understood this, they had complicated expressions. They hoped that Tyrion had guessed wrongly, and that Bran didn't want to become the Dragon Queen's White Knight, or that the Dragon Queen would righteously refuse to break away from the scope of mortals and become a lofty ruler that people could only look up to.
Danny came back to her senses from her shock, and she looked meaningfully at the big crow. She said, "I have six White Knights now. Sir Barristan, Sir Mormont, Warrior Beworth, Sir Jero Dane, Sir Garth, and my personal Secret Guard, Danny Si."
When she said this, even she found it strange.
She didn't realize that she hadn't used up all her White Knights, and it seemed like it was destined that the last one would be reserved for a specific person.
The Dragon Queen was a woman, and she needed a personal White Knight who could follow her into the bathroom and bedroom. So, she must have a female White Knight.
Since Old Bart saw Danny Si, he had been training her as a reserve White Knight. Later, when he met Britney, Old Bart thought of recruiting her to be the Queen's Female Knight, because Danny Si was too young.
When Britney was verbally conferred the title of "Roseless Iron Guard" by the Dragon Queen, Old Bart gave up and went back to let Big Bear continue to teach Danny Si.
Five years had passed, and the little girl had grown into a 14-year-old girl. Danny Si didn't wear a white robe because she was a Secret Guard and couldn't be too ostentatious, but in fact, she was a White Knight.
In addition to Danny Si, there were two people who almost became White Knights. One was the big crab, Eris Satyr, and the other was Quentin Martell.
They were all willing to become White Knights and even applied to Danny, but with Jaime's example, she didn't agree rashly.
Jaime also applied to the Mad King to wear a white robe. The Mad King gloated and agreed, and then Tywin completely fell out with him.
Dragon Queen asked the old crab, and the old crab tactfully said that the big crab was the eldest son and had to inherit the family business. How about letting the second son wear a white robe?
Danny didn't object, but the little crab didn't want to give up the title and fief. The Dragon Queen promised her vassals that according to their contributions, the second son and the third son could be conferred the title, which meant that one family had multiple titles.
Prince Daolang also rejected the Dragon Queen with a similar reason, because at that time, Quentin had already become a Winged Dragon Knight and was also the Dragon Queen's right-hand man. She would definitely be given a title and a large fief.
Perhaps Quentin herself felt that being a White Knight was more honorable than being a duke, but as a parent, of course, she wanted her children to start a family and live a normal life.
As a result, the Dragon Queen's last White Knight position had been empty all these years.
"Your Majesty, I'm willing to pledge my life to you, until my death," Bran said solemnly.
"Have you thought it through?" Danny asked even though she already knew the answer.
Bran definitely didn't come up with this idea on the spur of the moment.
The big crow looked at the tall White Knight next to the queen and said in a deep voice, "I've thought it through clearly. Following in Sir Barristan's footsteps has always been my dream."
Danny leaned against the back of the chair and pondered. The hall was silent, and the people in the surroundings could even hear the queen's finger tapping on the carved armrest.
After a long while, she muttered to herself, "You are the Three-Eyed Crow, and joining the White Knights will have a great impact. I must ask the Holy Mother.
Tomorrow morning, I will abstain from food and pray in the Great Holy Hall. Ladies, you can pray with me, and the Holy Mother will probably descend upon the Fairy City. "
After the trial ended, the crowd didn't leave. Instead, they were invited by Count Farman to a large banquet, but the atmosphere wasn't very lively.
The ladies were quite happy, and they gathered together and talked about the old case solved by the Three-Eyed Crow today, as well as the Holy Mother's descent tomorrow. The Three-Eyed Crow and Arya were also the focus of the discussion.
However, the nobles had a lot on their minds.
"After the Three-Eyed Crow defected to the Dragon Queen, how will the Seven Kingdoms' situation develop?"
They were all pondering this question, but they didn't dare to discuss it openly.
