The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

The old lion still likes to get straight to the point, but Tyrion didn't rush to answer. He looked around: Where is the beautiful and vicious sister?

How could she be absent to appreciate the scene of the dwarf "crying bitterly"... Sure enough, he found Cersei with the ladies on the second floor of the west side.

The one holding her arm was the Little Rose of Highgarden. It looked like they were as good as a pair of sisters.

Well... they almost became sisters. Tyrion grinned in that direction.

"Answer my question, Tyrion." Lord Tywin's cold voice came from the high platform.

As soon as the smile faded, Tyrion's expression suddenly became serious and he stood up again.

He looked at the old lion: "I'm sorry, I'm really too nervous. Please repeat it, Prime Minister."

Looking at Lord Tywin with a bulging vein on his head, Green said: "Tyrion Lannister, do you admit the crime of killing Oberyn Martell?"

Tyrion shook his head: "I don't admit it."

Buzz!

Tyrion's response caused a commotion in the hall.

The butler shouted: "Silence! Silence! Silence!"

After the silence was restored, there was a pause, and Green's voice sounded: "Prime Minister Tywin, Lord Mace, since Tyrion is unwilling to admit his guilt, let's call the witness directly."

As the three dukes were whispering, Tyrion suddenly said: "I am guilty!"

The whole hall seemed to freeze for a moment, and hundreds of eyes were focused on where Tyrion was.

Lord Tywin stared at the dwarf for a while and said: "Very good, I hope you can be honest, it will be beneficial to you."

Beneficial... Does the kind father mean that when the executioner cuts the dwarf's small neck, he will let him do it more quickly?

"I want to confess in front of all the lords..."

Tyrion stretched out a finger and scratched his cheek: "Where should I start... I admit that I am a little bad guy, and I have committed countless sins."

His tone was sincere: "I have slept with my female cousin, not once but hundreds of times. Sometimes I am not very nice to servants... I have gambled, and what makes me even more ashamed is that I cheated. I have said a lot of bad things about the ministers of the Red Castle and often made dirty jokes about them."

He looked at the old lion, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up: "I secretly hoped that my sister would die, and I had the same idea about my father, that is, our eternal Prime Minister--Lord Tywin Lannister."

The hall was noisy, with whispers, laughter, shouting and shouting.

"Silence! Silence! Silence!"

Green glanced sideways, and Duke Tywin stared at the dwarf who dared to provoke him, while Duke Mace seemed to be holding back his laughter and his face turned red.

After a pause, Lord Tywin slowly spoke: "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will deprive you of the right to defend yourself according to the laws of the kingdom."

Tyrion tilted his head: "Alas, I am pleading guilty, Lord Judge."

Hearing this, Lord Tywin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Duke Mace coughed lightly at this time, cleared his throat, and said: "Tyrion Lannister, please do not test our patience. We are interrogating you about the death of Prince Oberyn."

Tyrion shrugged, then he glanced around, stroking his chest and said: "I confess in front of you lords just to tell you that I am a half-man who can only talk, not a killer who can kill Prince Martell alone."

He looked around again: "My lords, please allow me to remind you that he is a famous red viper in the Seven Kingdoms. My wise lords, I dare to remind you again that Prince Oberyn is the strongest killer in the Seven Kingdoms."

Buzz! The low discussion of the crowd was raised.

In the audience, Harman Uller, the Earl of Hellgate in Dorne, stood up suddenly: "You must have used dirty means, you despicable little devil, I will kill you!"

The Dornish nobles sitting in the audience shouted for killing, and Green and Duke Mace looked at each other, and they gestured to the bottom almost at the same time.

Afterwards, the blue robes of Crabbe and the green robes of Tyrell maintained order with the red robes and gold robes.

When the Dornish nobles who were still angry sat down again, the voice of Duke Green came with a warning: "If you disrupt the order of the trial again, I will regard you as questioning the fairness of Crabbe-Tyrell-Lannister, and I will expel you from the throne room according to the laws of the kingdom."

Duke Mace shook his head and sighed, and his voice was only heard by the three dukes on the high platform: "The Dornish people have been away from the center of the Seven Kingdoms for too long, and there is not much reverence left for the Iron Throne."

Duke Tywin glanced at Duke Mace coldly and said: "They will come back."

After that, the old lion looked down at the high platform.

Tyrion deeply felt the true reality. Those Dornish envoys who came with the Red Viper had already determined that he was the murderer. To be more precise... they did not want to hear any explanation in his favor. They just hoped that he was the murderer of the Red Viper.

Feeling the old lion's gaze, Tyrion raised his eyes to meet him. He read some kind of mockery from the light green eyes with golden color, and the little lion could not help but clench his fists.

Lord Tywin retracted his gaze, paused, and stated: "The prosecution has invited many witnesses. We will listen to their testimony first, and then you will plead or invite witnesses for the defense."

His eyes moved down: "Please note that witnesses shall not be interrupted without the permission of the presiding judge."

Tyrion grinned: "Yes, my Lord Presiding Judge."

As expected by Tyrion, the first person to testify in court was the Red Viper's mistress from Dorne, the only third person in the room, Ellaria Sand.

After she swore to be honest to the Seven Gods, she began to testify: "I just woke up and saw the little devil holding a dagger and the prince lying on the ground... all bloody. This person is a real devil. I was not mistaken. I saw the devil's face. This person was still cursing the prince with his eyes closed. It must be a vicious ritual. He was still smiling strangely. I happened to see it all!"

She pointed at Tyrion: "This person must be the murderer! What I said is what I saw with my own eyes, I swear."

Tyrion's lips trembled. At that time, he was not awakened by the Dornish woman in front of him.

Then, Ellaria covered her face with her hands in grief: "I am so useless. The prince died, but I could only scream. I should have taken revenge with my own hands at that time... woo woo woo..."

When Ellaria calmed down a little, Lord Tywin said: "You have been with Prince Oberyn and Tyrion. In addition to what you saw after waking up, do you have any other additions, or have you found any abnormalities between the two of them?"

Ellaria nodded quickly: "I overheard their dispute... The prince is an elegant man. It was mainly the little devil who said that he warned that if Martell could not forget the past, he would lose the opportunity to return to the Red Castle forever."

She seemed to have made sufficient preparations while waiting for the trial. Although her voice was still crying, she spoke fluently: "The prince said that blood debts can only be paid with blood, the little devil said that Dorne would be expelled from the Seven Kingdoms, dear... The prince said that the dragons of Targaryen also failed to conquer Dorne... Later, after an unknown amount of time, the two of them laughed again. I know the prince. He is laughing on the surface, but he is already angry. I know him very well. "

Duke Tywin tightened his hand holding the armrest of the chair and said, "Ellaria Sand, are you sure there have always been three people in the room?"

Ellaria nodded repeatedly: "I promise, Lord Presiding Judge, I have never seen anyone else. If you don't believe it, you can ask the guards that night. They have been guarding outside the door and never left. I promise that I am telling the truth. I beg you to kill the little devil to avenge the prince!"

After Ellaria withdrew, the four Martell guards and four Lannister guards who were guarding outside the door that night followed. They proved one by one that no fourth person had entered the room where Tyrion and the others were.

Then there was a middle-aged captain of the gold cloaks who was responsible for checking the room under the order of the commander-in-chief of the gold cloaks, Sir Adam. He proved that the doors and windows of the room were intact and no traces of other people were found.

The next witness was Ser Balon Swann of the Kingsguard. Tyrion frowned. He knew this man was Cersei's man. What was he doing here? What testimony could he give?

After paying his respects, Ser Balon said to the old lion, "Prime Minister, I have the honor of following your son to fight against Stannis's army in King's Landing. Please believe that although he is not tall, he is very brave and admirable."

Suddenly someone appeared and praised Tyrion, causing a commotion in the hall.

Tyrion couldn't help but turn his head to look at the second floor. He couldn't see clearly... But he could sense that Cersei was very proud at this time.

Ser Balon continued, "Yes, Tyrion has beaten King Joffrey, at least three times. Whenever he felt that King Joffrey did not do well enough, Tyrion would beat him. Yes, he is much more flexible than he looks. Every time he suddenly jumped up and slapped, even the strong King Joffrey could not withstand a blow and fell to the ground. My brothers in the Kingsguard can also testify."

Green, who has good eyesight, saw Cersei's bright smile. This was her arrangement. She wanted to prove that although Tyrion was a dwarf, he had enough "skills" to kill Prince Oberyn.

But Joffrey's face... Green's brown eyes moved slightly, and he saw that the veins on Lord Tywin's neck bulged.

Duke Mace stroked his beard and frowned, saying, "According to the laws of the kingdom, anyone who attacks the royal family should be beheaded. Why didn't the Kingsguard perform their duties?"

Sir Balon opened his mouth and said, "Tyrion is King Joffrey's uncle, he is also a member of the royal family, and he was the Prime Minister at the time."

Duke Tywin corrected coldly, "He was the acting Prime Minister, appointed by me."

The three brothers Kettleblack testified below. They took turns confessing that they had been hired by Tyrion to monitor Queen Mother Cersei and King Joffrey. Later, they heard that Tyrion was looking for an opportunity to get rid of the Queen Mother and the King, so they chose honor under the inspiration of the Seven Gods.

They heard that I was going to kill Cersei and Joffrey? !

It was he who saved this extremely stupid mother and son!

"You are slandering me, liars!"

The three brothers Kettleblack were extremely shameless. He was regretting why he didn't get rid of these shameless traitors immediately when he knew they betrayed him and joined Cersei (Battle of King's Landing). He shouldn't have been soft-hearted!

Tyrion took two steps forward and was carried back by two golden cloaks.

Lord Tywin frowned and said, "Tyrion, do you want us to tie your hands and feet like a robber?"

Tyrion exhaled slowly to stabilize his emotions.

Cersei put a lot of thought into her beloved brother, and was a rare smart move. She first used the reputation of the Kingsguard to make people believe that he had the ability to kill. After a convincing start, she sent out her own lackeys to portray him as a real demon that even his sister and nephew wanted to kill.

Add to that the testimony of Ellaria Sand and the guards, ahaha… He also had to believe that he was the murderer of the Red Viper.

Dwarfs hate being slandered the most since they were young… Cersei is worthy of being his good sister, she knows how to anger him.

He shouldn't be angry, compared to the pain Lannister brought him, what is this slander?

Moreover, his "performance" standing here today is the biggest slander itself, why should he be angry.

"No need."

Tyrion bowed and said, "My lords, please forgive me, I will keep quiet."

After that, he smiled at the old lion. The dignified Tywin Lannister would hear the roar of the dwarf's son.

After the three brothers Kettleblack left, Grand Maester Pycelle asked a young assistant to take his place temporarily, and then he came to the main trial tremblingly.

He read out the results of the examination of Prince Oberyn's body. The murder weapon, the short sword with a golden snake handle, pierced into the heart and killed him on the spot.

Pycelle's maester necklace rang softly: "Duke Tywin, Duke Mace, Duke Green, I did not find any other wounds on Prince Oberyn's body. So, I infer that someone took advantage of Prince Oberyn's drunkenness to attack him. Moreover, I would like to remind you that this situation is most likely to happen between people who are familiar with each other."

After Pycelle, endless witnesses came forward one after another, and Tyrion knew that this must be another arrangement by Cersei.

Lords, ladies, knights, guards and servants, anyone who had seen him with the Red Viper, all testified.

Some people said that when Tyrion was waiting for the Dorne envoy at the Blackwater River dock, he complained that he lost the opportunity to welcome the Highgarden Rose because of a red viper.

Some people said that Tyrion had just seen Prince Oberyn's mistress at the Blackwater River dock... and he had been peeping at her breasts and vagina.

Some people said that Tyrion was very irritable... He had shown his murderous intentions towards Prince Oberyn since they met

And so on.

Tyrion could recognize most of these people's faces. Some of them could not be named, but he had some impression of them. He had saved all of them.

He suddenly felt funny. At that time, Stannis was at the gates of the city. In order to save these people, he was even ready to die in battle, for the boring lives of these people.

Perhaps, what he thought of as a heroic act was just a dwarf's funny performance in their eyes.

"Yes, I have seen them riding horses near Silent Sister Street, and I also saw the little devil seducing Prince Dorne's mistress in front of him..."

Tyrion suddenly interrupted: "Lord Tywin, I plead guilty!"

Duke Tywin raised a hand, and the hall gradually became quiet.
