Chapter 97

The Lord's of the Vale as well as the current Lord of the Vale Petyr Baelish had all gathered in front of the Throne but none kneeled. That's when Lord Baelish had kneeled trying to show his support to the new Emperor, causing some lords behind him to also kneel.

"Your Majesty, it is a pleasure to meet you my name is Petyr Baelish the Lord of the Vale, and I am here to pledge my Loyalty to you the Emperor" Said Lord Baelish as he bowed.

Maximus didn't say anything as he looked at Daenerys, who already knew what to do.

She stood up and unrolled a piece of paper and read it out loud, "Lord Petyr Baelish under the words of his majesty you are hereby stripped of your titles and rank and sentenced to death for your crimes of murdering Lysa Arryn by pushing her through the moon door also for yo..."

She was interrupted by Lord Baelish "What do you mean this is madness, Suddenly accusing me of these crimes are you mad" Said Lord Baelish as he was looking at Maximus

He didn't even get the chance to say his next word's before his legs were cut off, causing him to fall to the ground face first as he screamed in pain. All the other lords around the room had shocked faces as they just saw a man's legs get cut off right in front of their faces.

The Lord's of the Vale had even taken a step back from Lord Baelish since they didn't know what was going on. Then suddenly Lord Baelish started floating off the ground as and the blood that was coming from his legs had stopped dripping on the floor.

Then his screaming had become silent as Daenerys finished what she was saying, "As I was saying, Lord Baelish has conspired with Cersei Lannister to betray Lord Eddard Stark, causing his execution by King Joffrey. He also is the cause of the Conflict between the Stark's and the Lannister's as he had Lysa Arryn send a letter to Lady Catelyn stark stating that the Lannister's had murdered Jon Arryn" Daenerys continued to state all the thing's that Lord Baelish did to the entire Lord's of Westeros who were surprised at how he Manipulated two families

What shocked them the most is that he had started the conflict between House Stark and House Lannister, then a few years later he manipulated Cersei into marrying Lysa Arryn so that he can take power and become lord of the Vale.

Nothing, he did was directed towards the Empire, except when he joined the Lannister's in fighting the Imperial forces. So really all these charges were to show that the Emperor believes in justice and will execute it throughout his rule.

But it was also to show what happens to those that commit heinous acts in the Empire.

After that Maximus had Lord Baelish's legs restored and took him away to throw in the dungeon since he would be receiving a more suitable punishment later.

Once Lord Baelish was gone, Maximus had called forth Julius.

"Since Lord Baelish is no longer the Lord protector of the Vale I hereby name Julius Caesar the Lord protector of the Vale until Robert Arryn comes of age that is when he will be named the Duke of the Vale and be married to a suitable woman or to his betroth if he has one by then" Said Maximus

The Lord's of the Vale were satisfied with this decision and pledged their Loyalty to Maximus. He decided not to punish the Lord's of the Vale who fought against him, since he could see why they decided to do it.

If a Foreign empire attacked his lands, he too would fight them, so blaming them for something like that would be stupid and unjust.

The Lord's of the Vale returned to their seat's as next the Westerland Lord's were called onto the floor. Cersei was also brought out as her punishment was going to be announced as well. The Former King Tommen had also been brought out, since he was going to receive his verdict.

Jaime Lannister was also dragged onto the floor and thrown in front of the Throne.

"Now we will begin the Punishment for the Westerland Lord's" Said the Announcer

"First I will start with Cersei Lannister, who will be receiving her punishment for all the crimes that she and her family committed"

"And since her crimes are too many to name without taking up much time, I will just go ahead and say her punishment. Firstly, she will be stripped of all her noble titles and Royal privileges and will just be a regular person with no family name nor power.

She will not be known as Cersei Lannister anymore but will be known as the 'Bitch Queen' by all those in the Seven Kingdom's, also because of her obsession with using her body to seduce multiple men a brothel will be opened in the city called the Bitches Palace where any man born of noble or common birth can feel first hand how it feels to spend time with the Bitch queen" To say that everybody was surprised at what was just said would be an understatement as some people jaws were literally almost on the floor.

"And she will not be able to see her children at all, nor will she be able to live a normal life for the rest of her life" Cersei was trying to scream but since her mouth was covered all people heard was muffled screaming.

She began to burst out into tears as she was carried away out of the Throne room.

"Now as for Jaime Lannister" Said Maximus as he paused "His punishment will be decided another day for now let's move on" Jaime was the person who killed Daenerys father, so he was planning on letting Daenerys torture him or something.

But just as Jaime was being carried away he managed to free his mouth as he yelled "I DEMAND A TRIAL BY COMBAT AGAINST THE EMPEROR"

Everybody turned their heads to look at Jaime like he was a madman, before they looked back at the Emperor only to find him smirking at what Jaime just said.

Meanwhile, in Jaime's head he was thinking that the Emperor's true strength was in his subordinates, so if he accepts the duel Jaime will win as he is the best swordsmen in the Seven Kingdom's.

If only Jaime didn't let his Ego get in the way, he might have survived another year.
