Chapter 280 Dispute in the Royal Council(2/2)
A fine knight, some of whom are Robert's friends, and some of whom are mine."
"When he was escorted to us, he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Roose Bolton urged Robert to cut his throat." At this point, Eddard Stark did not forget to look at them.
Ser Barristan behind him, "But your brother said: 'I will not kill a man because he is loyal and fights bravely.'"
"Then he also sent his own maesters to heal Ser Barristan."
Eddard Stark looked at the king with cold eyes and said meaningfully: "It would be great if the man from the Trident was here today. He would never agree to such despicable behavior, and he would never want to see it.
This order comes from my own mouth."
King Robert's face immediately turned red when he heard this. He had made many decisions in his life that he regretted deeply, but this definitely did not include the time when he bypassed Ser Barristan on the Trident.
"That's different!" the king complained. "Ser Barristan is a knight of the Kingsguard. His oath determines that he has to be our enemy, and he is also a respectable opponent."
"Daenerys is just a fourteen-year-old girl!" Eddard knew that it was irrational for him to press forward like this. It would only make Robert more determined in his own ideas, but his honor and sense of justice could not tolerate it.
He was not allowed to remain silent on this matter, "Robert, let me ask you, when we raised troops to fight Yinlys Targaryen, wasn't it just to prevent him from continuing to murder those innocent people?"
"We want to kill all the Targaryens; we want to take back your sister Anna from Rhaegar's hands; we want to avenge your father and brother!" King Robert suddenly became furious, "Do you remember
How did Yinlys Targaryen kill your father, Lord Rickard, and your brother, Ser Brandon, in the great hall just now?"
"I have never forgotten what Yinlys Targaryen did, but Robert, you are different from the Mad King Yinlys."
"Your Majesty Robert, I remember that not even Rhaegar and his army could scare you in the past." Although Ed Stark tried hard to restrain his tone when he said these words, the words themselves were full of emotion.
Contemptuously, "What I didn't expect is that after so many years, your courage has become so small. Can even an unborn child make you tremble uncontrollably?"
"Ed, you'd better stop talking!" Robert's face turned purple with anger at this moment. He warned him with trembling fingers, "Don't say another word. Have you forgotten who is the king?"
"Your Majesty, I have never forgotten it!" Ed replied, "You must not have forgotten it either, right?"
"That's enough!" Eddard Stark's words finally drove the king to panic. Robert yelled at him, grabbing his neck and yelling, "I'm too lazy to waste words with you here. If I don't kill that bitch, I will."
"Condemned by God"
The king turned his head and looked around at the people in front of the discussion table: "What do you think?"
"The remnants of the Targaryens deserve to be killed as it is not a pity to die!" Duke Renly's attitude was very clear.
Varys said: "I'm afraid we have no choice. It's a pity, it's a pity... For the safety of the Seven Kingdoms and the well-being of the people, we must do this."
Ser Barristan Selmy stepped forward and raised his pale blue eyes. His eyes were full of pity and strangeness: "Your Majesty Robert, it is an honorable thing to fight against the enemy on the battlefield, but
I think it is dishonorable to attack a person while still in his mother's womb."
"Please forgive me, I must side with Lord Stark."
"Regarding this matter, what I saw was not a little girl with a child, but an imminent and upcoming war." Seeing that everyone else had finished expressing their opinions, Gao Yuan had no choice but to stand up from his seat.
"I have nothing against the little Targaryen girl."
"But I know that if war breaks out again, many soldiers will die in the wilderness; countless villages will be burned to the ground by the Dothraki army; countless children will be forcibly snatched from their mothers' arms and then die.
At the hands of the cruel Dothraki." Gao Yuan looked at Ed with firm eyes, looking pitiful and pitiful.
"I have traveled in Essos for a long time, and I am well aware of the cruelty and terror of the Dothraki. Wherever their iron hooves go, there is a scorched earth and desolate land. They never know what mercy is, so naturally they
They don’t know how to tolerate and forgive.”
"If just sacrificing one Daenerys can save thousands of civilians and innocent people in the Seven Kingdoms, I would rather sacrifice my own honor and rights." Gao Yuan told Ed, "His Majesty Robert's decision is the wisest.
He is no longer the young Duke of Storm's End...but now the king of the Seven Kingdoms. He needs to be responsible for his people and all the lords of the Seven Kingdoms."
"I'm sorry, Lord Stark! I must side with King Robert in this matter."
"Pa bang bang..."
Wallis stretched out his powdered hands and began to applaud Gao Yuan's speech: "What you said is great, Duke Gao Yuan. This is really the right choice."
