Chapter 306 The Trial of the Seven Sons

Even though he was in a dream, Clay didn't want to be dragged out and chopped in such a daze.

Besides, won’t Brynden Rivers live a good life in the future?

Aegon V's bones have turned to ashes, and this guy is still hiding in a tree hole as a vegetative state.

Therefore, Duke Blood Crow will definitely not be beheaded in this death sentence.

He should have chosen to put on black clothes, become a strong shield for the kingdom, and go to the Great Wall to defend the kingdom.

However, Clay felt strong emotional fluctuations from this point in the dream.

Obviously, Duke Blood Crow did not agree with the king's approach at this time.

No matter how the history books whitewash peace, it is said that Brynden Rivers was for the peace and stability of the kingdom. He realized the dishonor of his actions, so he was willing to devote the rest of his life to the kingdom.

Thinking with your toes, you know this is pure bullshit.

Consider Brynden Rivers’ political standing at the time.

He participated in all three Blackfire rebellions, and even put down a large part of them himself.

Later, after two kings had been killed, the new monarch also wanted him to support him.

The Prime Minister in front of the emperor holds great power and supports the achievements of the establishment.

Moreover, the one he killed was a member of the Blackfire family who had started countless rebellions.

The political correctness in Westeros at that time was the black fire that fucked them up.

Brynden Rivers killed an important member of the Blackfyre family without the use of a weapon. The new king simply refused to reward him, and even beheaded him for it.

It’s strange that Duke Blood Crow can be convinced!

Looking back at this period of history, Clay felt that King Aegon V, who had just come to power and was known as the "king who least deserves to be king", felt the power of Brynden Rivers and believed that his royal power had been lost. Here comes the challenge.

So, he found such a high-sounding excuse that no one could refute, and killed his own Prime Minister.

Brynden Rivers couldn't argue, because it was indeed him who did it.

The most he could think of was that this matter was for the sake of the kingdom and that the crime would not lead to death.

Anyway, Clay thinks that if the king doesn't speak up about this matter and acquiesces to Duke Blood Crow's sitting position, who dares to say no on this matter?

Do you really think Brynden Rivers' Crowtooth Guards are vegetarians?

Therefore, it was just bad luck that the king he supported was just a white-eyed wolf.

Brynden Rivers chose to compromise, but the grievance in his heart still existed. Even after a hundred years, this was still something he couldn't let go of.

This dream was like a movie playback. He had already made a choice, so he couldn't change the specific plot.

But now, Clay, who is wearing the face of Brynden Rivers, will not be used to the problems of these royal nobles of King's Landing.

Who are you to sentence me to death?

Therefore, Clay stood in the center of the throne room. At this time, Duke Blood Crow looked like he wanted to give in, but was unwilling to do so.

His blood-red eyes narrowed, staring closely at the king on the throne, with a sneer on his lips.

Many people present noticed the change in the expression of the former Prime Minister in their eyes.

My heart skipped a beat, maybe something was going to happen, right?

To be honest, many people disapprove of treating Brynden Rivers like this.

It’s not that they like the Prime Minister that much, the fact is that Brynden Rivers does have a terrible reputation.

But to attack the Prime Minister just after he took the throne, no one with a little bit of political acumen would do that.

It's okay to say that Brynden Rivers is a clay statue, but he is a serious man with great power. He has been sitting on the Iron Throne to manage the country's Prime Minister.

If you act rashly, if you are not careful, it will cause great turmoil across the country.

Just now, before the prime minister was accused and sentenced, he had been defending that he was doing it for the country.

Everyone actually agrees with this statement.

He has no personal grudge against the Blackfire family, and this is actually for the sake of the stability of the Targaryen family.

However, the new king has taken power.

Faced with the king's sudden attack, he had no means of resistance.

Everyone thought so, until they noticed the sneer on the lips of the Prime Minister who seemed to have given up struggling.

Then they heard a sound they had never imagined in their lives.

"Aegon, I don't agree with your sentence. If your throne requires killing your own people to ensure its innocence, that is really the most tragic thing for my Targaryen family."

"How could someone as stupid as you sit in the king's seat?"

"A leash dog is probably better than you, right?"

These words flew out of the Prime Minister's mouth lightly in full view of everyone.

Everyone realized that something bad might happen.

This is going to completely break up the relationship!

Unlike Aegon V who was completely stunned, his "loyal" Kingsguard, the famous "Tall" Ser Duncan, had already drawn the long sword from his waist and pointed it directly at Clay.

He is the king's most trusted captain of the Kingsguard, and he will never allow anyone to insult the king like this.

"Blood Crow, watch your words. No one can protect you here. Your Crow's Tooth Guard is far away."

Can Clay be threatened by him?

Laugh loudly:

"Just you?"

He looked around and knew exactly what he was going to do.

"Since the king accuses me of committing a crime, then I also have the right to clear my name."

He looked at the king who had stood up from the throne and shouted word by word:

"I want to conduct the trial of the Seven Sons. You can't refuse, boy! However, I am enough alone. I will use the blood of you, the cowardly Kingsguard, to wash away my shame!"

As soon as these words came out, some nobles immediately held their breath.

They all looked at the former Prime Minister standing in the throne room in disbelief, smiling wantonly and wildly.

Is he crazy?

It is true that in the history of Westeros, the so-called "Trial of the Seven Sons", which was born out of the trial by combat and was more sacred, has never been stopped.

But what did Lord Blood Crow say?

Fighting all the Kingsguard alone?

Crazy, completely crazy!

Isn't he afraid of being killed on the spot by these Kingsguards who seem to be very capable of fighting?

You know, what he just said to the king was tantamount to a complete break with the king, leaving no room for error.

What do you think?

Aegon V's anger went away just as quickly as it came.

He also couldn't figure out why Blood Crow, who had always shown himself to be cunning and calculating, showed such an arrogant side today.

He had given him a way out, agreed to let him put on black clothes, and even allowed him to take away the Crow Tooth Guard.

As long as you don't compete with yourself for power in King's Landing, you can go wherever you like in the Seven Kingdoms.

This is what Aegon V really thinks.

However, what Blood Crow said today completely pushed him into a corner.

Using the "Seven Sons Trial" that never negates precedent, he, the king, was forced to fight.

What good thing is it for the Prime Minister to start a life-and-death fight with the King for the sake of honor?

In any case, his reputation as a king must have been irreparably damaged.

He had just ascended the throne and became king, which would undoubtedly cause huge difficulties for him to rule the Seven Kingdoms in the future.

Moreover, Bloodraven is also a Targaryen.

Can he really kill him here?

If he really kills him and carries the reputation of a "parricide", then Aegon V will be finished.

However, if Blood Crow didn't kill him at the beginning, Aegon V's own honor would still be shattered into pieces.

There is a dilemma on both sides.

But one thing is clear to him: he must continue this trial initiated by Blood Crow.

Otherwise, it would mean that his accusation was against the will of the gods.

And what happens when a king who goes against the will of the gods sits on the throne?

Aegon V broke into a cold sweat behind his back.

He knew that all eyes were on the face of his king.

Finally, he couldn't stand the needle-like feeling and shouted:

"I agree!"

"Blood Crow, since you do not agree with my verdict, your crime will be handed over to the gods for judgment."

"Come, Ser Duncan, with the king's Kingsguard, and fight for my honor!"

The king made an impassioned speech, Clay just sneered, and Sir Duncan frowned deeply.

There are exactly seven members of the Kingsguard, but seven against one, isn't this too...

"Your Majesty, this is not honorable."

Sir Duncan whispered to his lord.

What he got in exchange was indeed Aegon V's extremely ferocious gaze.

He felt a chill in his heart. He knew the king's character very well and knew that the king at this time was already on the verge of complete rage.

No one but him could guess what this king, who did not come from an orthodox royal life, was thinking.

Taking a deep breath, the ordinary guards with quick eyesight and quick hands had already separated the other nobles, leaving a vast hall in the center.

Logically speaking, this is not the place to hold the "Seven Sons Trial".

But now everyone understands that their King may not be able to bear that time anymore.

Clay himself was not shackled. In fact, his "Dark Sister", a famous sword in history that belonged to the Three-Eyed Crow, was now in his palm.

It looks like the situation is almost over.

Clay glanced mockingly at the seven Kingsguards who were slowly walking out from the opposite side, with some expressions of disbelief still on their faces, and the desire to fight in his heart was completely aroused.

After he became a demon hunter, there were only a few times when he actually had his turn to fight on the battlefield. The most powerful one was when he ambush Jaime Lannister.

After that, his status rose and he gradually lost the possibility of going to the battlefield.

It's been almost a year now, and there hasn't been a drop of blood on his sword.

Now, in this dream, he could finally let go and have a good fight.

With a flick of his wrist, the Valyrian steel sword "Dark Sister" was instantly unsheathed.

The long sword was pointed directly at Aegon V, who was sitting on the throne, but his face was red at this time.

Clay laughed, swung his sword and rushed towards Sir Duncan at the front.

One against seven, one sword against seven swords.

Clay knew very well what a huge disadvantage this was.

Once a protracted battle develops, no matter how strong his sword skills are, there is a possibility of overturning.

The reason why Clay dares to be so confident is that he naturally has his trump card.

Because his magic power can be used freely here.

In this case, let Daenerys's ancestors see what a beating from a demon hunter means.

If possible, tell them about the disobedient daughter in the dream.

Be more obedient from now on and don't always be unwilling to move down there.

Clay has never seen a woman as lazy as her.

With his left hand, he skillfully added a Quen Seal with deep magic power, and Clay's long sword stabbed directly into Sir Duncan's throat.

As soon as he takes action, he is rushing to kill him.
