Chapter 113 Chaotic Reese 1

The confidant's voice was extremely low, and his expression was so tense that his facial muscles were twitching slightly: "Sir, the situation is worse than imagined. In the parliament, the prisoner brought by the messenger actually told you that you hired the Faceless Men to assassinate Gavin. The matter has been revealed. Now the councilors are all furious and angry. They all believe that it is because of your actions that Reese suffered this cruel war. The situation is completely out of control. You must find a solution quickly!"

Byron Heywood swayed suddenly, staggered, and almost collapsed to the ground. He grasped the armrests of the chair tightly in panic, his knuckles turned white from the exertion, and tried desperately to calm himself down: "What can I do? Hurry, go and bring my team of Unsullied Guards. Surround the council chamber. No one is allowed to leave without my order. I will go over and deal with it now."

Byron Heywood rushed to the parliament hall in a hurry, his steps were quick and heavy, the muscles on his face were tense, and his eyes revealed panic and anger.

The members of the Governor's Council are all composed of wealthy businessmen and high-ranking military officers from Reese. Due to the destruction of the fleet, nearly half of the members in the hall were reduced at this time, and the normally crowded council hall was already quite empty.

As Byron Heywood pushed open the heavy door of the council chamber. At this moment, everyone in the hall turned their eyes to the governor who suddenly came here, and suddenly became quiet. Everyone stared at him closely, and some people's eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger.

Byron Heywood entered the parliament hall with firm steps, unceremoniously pushed away the people who were blocking him, and walked straight towards the center of the hall.

He pretended to be calm and composed, glanced around the crowd with sharp eyes, and then shouted loudly: "Members of Congress, please listen to me! This is completely a conspiracy of Gavin Belleris, he is trying to invade us Free Reese plundered our wealth. For this reason, he deliberately sent people to frame me, just to find a grand reason for his troops. We must not believe it at this time! We should unite as one to fight against this evil! Dragon King!"

Then, he immediately encouraged everyone: "You don't need to worry too much about Reese's safety. Even if we lose the navy, Reese still has two thousand standing soldiers and more than three thousand standing mercenaries. Moreover, there are still people in the city. There are countless mercenaries, and we can hire them at any time. With Gavin Belerith's current military strength, he can't even think of breaking into Lys. I have already sent messengers to Tyrosh and Myr, waiting for the fleets of the two sides to arrive. That will be the end of Gavin Belerys, and we can capture the Stepstone Islands again." Although his voice was slightly trembling, he still tried to show a strong and determined attitude.

After listening to his speech, everyone began to whisper among themselves, and the noisy scene returned to the council hall.

However, some congressmen did not buy it. One of them stood up, pointed at Byron Heywood, and angrily accused: "Byron Heywood, what we are discussing now is your problem, evidence." Is it true that you are still trying to make excuses? It was precisely because of your selfish desires that Reese fell into the flames of war, countless navy soldiers died innocently, and Reese is now in danger!"

The congressman's denunciation was like turning on a switch, and for a while, countless voices of accusation came out. However, some MPs who supported Byron Heywood spoke out to defend him. A fierce quarrel broke out between the two sides, and the atmosphere in the parliament hall suddenly became extremely tense.

At this time, Congressman Alek walked quickly to the center, raised his hands high and pressed down to signal everyone to be quiet, then looked at Byron Heywood with cold eyes and sneered: "Governor Byron, your crime is obvious and cannot be covered up. "It was you who provoked the Dragon King and dragged Reese into the abyss of war. Today you must give everyone a satisfactory explanation!" Then he looked around at the people and said loudly: "I propose that, in view of Governor Byron's serious incompetence, , immediately remove Byron Heywood from his position as governor, and hand him over to appease the Dragon King’s anger.”

Byron Heywood's eyes widened with anger, veins popped out on his neck, and he roared: "Alek, you traitor! How dare you convene a parliament without the governor's permission. I haven't settled the matter with you yet! I I suspect that you have been colluding with the invader for a long time. Your glass and paper business comes from the Step Islands. You are behind all this! You traitor to Lys, I will exempt you from your membership now. ”

After hearing Byron Heywood's words, an old congressman stood up tremblingly and shouted angrily: "Byron Heywood, although you are the governor, you have no right to remove anyone. "Members of Parliament can only be removed by a vote of the Governor-General's Council. You show great contempt for all of us and the Parliament."

The situation was instantly chaotic, and even the legislators who had previously spoken out in support of Governor Byron also denounced him.

Just when the situation became increasingly chaotic and seemed to be about to get out of control, the messenger sent by Gavin stood up slowly, with a leisurely expression, and forcefully pulled out from behind a man who was tied up and had a bruised nose and face. The messenger's eyes were cold and he said coldly: "Byron Heywood, this is the messenger you sent to Braavos. He went to the House of Black and White with your order. How dare you say you don't know him? He But I think everyone here should know your confidants."

When Byron Heywood saw the man, his face turned pale as paper, as if all the blood had been drained out. But he was still unwilling to admit defeat, and continued to argue with all his might: "This is a conspiracy! He disappeared before, and I looked everywhere for him but there was no trace. It turned out that he was kidnapped by you! You tortured him into confessing and forced him to frame me!"

Congressman Alec said with a mocking face, "Byron Heywood, it's already come to this, and you are still stubborn!" Then he raised his voice and proposed loudly and passionately: "Members of the House, now the evidence is conclusive, I propose a vote to remove Governor Byron from his position, please raise your hands if you agree."

As Alec's voice fell, the venue fell into silence in an instant, as if time had frozen. Then, several congressmen raised their hands without hesitation to express their approval. Seeing someone take the lead, congressmen raised their right hands one after another. After a short while, most people in the parliament hall raised their hands, and the vote in favor showed an overwhelming trend.
