Chapter 157 Coronation
"Not so good."
Tyrion said, "Now only robbers, thieves, and murderers are sent to go to guard the Wall, oh yes, and illegitimate children."
Hearing illegitimate children, Samwell picked up the conversation and asked,
"I heard that the illegitimate son of Duke Eddard, the Hand of the King, also went to the Wall?"
"That's right. His name is Jon Snow, a good lad ."
The trajectory of fate, Samwell thought to himself.
It's a pity that his own destiny has been completely changed, and it is no longer possible to go to the Wall like in the original book.
It is estimated that there will not be much intersection with the illegitimate son of the Duke of the North who was supposed to be his good brother.
I don't know what will happen to the situation on the Wall without Samwell Tarly, the "Slayer" in this time and space…
"Master Tyrion, I forgot to congratulate you, your nephew is about to become The new king."
"Oh, please don't say congratulations." Tyrion didn't seem to be happy at all, "If that idiot sits on the Iron Throne, the Seven kingdom's will be in chaos ."
" I also heard that he is planning to appoint you as Master of coins, so congratulations."
"What?!" Tyrion sat up straight suddenly, "Are you kidding me?"
Samwell shrugged, "I only heard that .The girls may not be right."
"No, no! I gotta confirm this ." Tyrion hurriedly began to dress, "Damn it! I don't want to stuck in the mess left by that Littlefinger "
Samwell shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the king won't have time to see as the coronation ceremony is coming soon, and he is probably praying devoutly in Great Sept of Baelor. I just came here to remind you not to forget the ceremony just because of some pretty girl."
With that, he bid farewell to Tyrion and left.
Tyrion couldn't care less about lingering with the beauties of the Midsummer Islands, so he hurriedly left the Women's Branch after getting dressed.
He first went back to the Red Keep, changed into a decent dress, and then hurriedly climbed up the hills of Visenya and walked into the Great Sept of Baelor.
At this time, the hall was filled with jewels, furs, silks and brocades. The nobles in King's Landing all put on the their most gorgeous dresses, as if they wanted to take this opportunity to compare with each other.
The arrival of Tyrion did not attract much attention. As the second son of the Lannister family, this dwarf seemed too sorry for the audience compared to his radiant older brothers and sisters.
It seems that the gods gave Cersei and James all the external goodness, and when it was Tyrion's turn, he dealt casually.
Fortunately, the gods are also benevolent, leaving all the wisdom that should belong to Cersei and James to Tyrion.
It's a pity that this vulgar world can seldom explore the beauty deep inside through this deformed and ugly body.
It stands to reason that after his elder brother Jaime Lannister joined the Kingsguard and could no longer inherit the title and territory, Tyrion was the Guardian of the West and the first heir to the Duke of Casterly Rock. However, no one really regarded this dwarf as the future Duke.
Especially his father, Lord Tywin Lannister.
The dislike of the dwarf's son by the lion of the west was completely undisguised.
If it weren't for the fact that killing relatives would anger the gods, I'm afraid Tyrion wouldn't be alive at all.
Fortunately, Tyrion has long been used to the white eyes and contempt, walking in the prayer hall contentedly.
The coronation ceremony had not yet begun, and Tyrion saw the High Septon standing in the center of the hall wearing a crystal crown. Beside stood Queen Cersei.
Today she was wearing a wine red velvet dress with golden stripes, with wide long sleeves that reached to the ground, looking dignified, elegant and noble.
Tyrion walked over: "Hey! Sister!"
Cersei always liked to look at people with her chin, especially when facing this dwarf brother:
"Tyrion, when did you come back? I thought you froze to death on the Great Wall."
"Just arrived yesterday." Tyrion has long been used to his sister's poisonous tongue, "Thank you for your concern about my health. Where's Jaime?"
"He's the Kingsguard, of course he's by the king's side, you idiot."
"Old sister, glad to see you are as mean as usual, I'm relieved. Sure enough, the death of your husband doesn't affect you."
"The death of my younger brother wouldn't affect me either."
"I'm different. If you die, I will definitely cry a lot. "
Seeing Cersei gnashing her teeth, Tyrion ran away swaying those short legs contentedly.
Before taking two steps, Tyrion heard someone calling his name.
Looking back, he saw the Baron of eagle islan who he had just parted.
"Lord Caesar!" Tyrion greeted with a smile, but felt little sour in his heart.
No way, this baron is not only handsome, but also has two beauties on his arms.
On the left should be the "Highgarden Rose", and on the right, the star and long sword coat of arms, it seems to be the Countess of Dorne.
You have such top-quality beauties to accompany you, and you still go to buy a female branch? Tyrion cursed to himself.
But on the surface he still maintained a smile, and went forward to say hello to Samwell and the others.
Natalie had never heard of the reputation of "little devil" before, and at this moment she was looking at the dwarf with curious and slightly fearful eyes.
Margaery, on the other hand, seemed very familiar with Tyrion, and they started chatting quickly.
Few moments later, the bell rang suddenly.
Everyone knew that the time had come, and they all fell silent.
Joffrey also appeared at the door of the hall. He had a crowned stag tattooed on his chest, his buttons in the shape of a roaring lion.
He was wearing a dark green gown with gold stripes, and the cloak behind him was crimson. —This was the color of the Lannisters.
The seven Kingsguard guarded behind him, as they followed the king into the hall.
The sunlight cast colorful light and shadows through the glazed dome, the statues of the Seven Gods around the hall stood majestically, as if they were watching the figure slowly walking in.
The solemn atmosphere circulated in the hall, making people afraid to breathe loudly.
Finally, Joffrey walked up to the High Septon and knelt down on one knee.
The High Septon held the golden crown in his hand, held it high above Joffrey's head, and announced :
"Joffrey Baratheon, son of the late King Robert I, today I crown you the Andals, the Lord of the Realm in the name of the Seven Gods. King of the Inar and the First Men, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and Guardian of the Land!
May the Father give you justice, and judge slay evil!
May the Mother give you mercy, and may you have mercy on all your people!
May the warrior give you courage . . . "
After saying the long prayer, the High septon finally put the golden crown on Joffrey's head.
So, he the new king of the Seven Kingdoms and the new ruler of Westeros.
Joffrey stood up abruptly, with arrogance and complacency on his face.
"Everyone!" The young king shouted, "Today we are gathered here not only to witness my coronation, but also to witness a trial!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into discussions .
"Oh, my stupid nephew, shut up please! ."
Samwell heard Tyrion whisper beside him.
He also couldn't help laugh and shake his head, this "one emperor through the ages" seemed to be planning to make trouble during his coronation ceremony.
At least Robert held his nose before, and now that Robert is dead, this fellow would reveal his stupid and brutal nature.
Just another "mad king".
"Your Majesty," asked Duke Eddard, Hand of the King, "I wonder what trial you referring ?"
"A trial for the guilty, of course!" cried Joffrey, waving his hand toward the door.
"Come up!"
Samwell looked towards the door, and saw a woman with a familiar face being brought in.
It turned out to be the illegitimate daughter of Prince Oberyn. Samwell remembered that when he went to visit the prince that day, it was this girl who led the way. Well, she played some pranks on him.
"Everyone, she is the illegitimate daughter of the 'Red Viper' Oberyn Martell, Tyene Sand! Her father murdered three master's! Today I will judgedher by the Seven Gods.!" Joffrey shouted, pointing at Tyene who was kneeling in front of him.
"Wait!" Duke Eddard stopped again, "Your Majesty, that was also her father's crime, and it has nothing to do with her. We cannot judge an innocent person!"
"Innocent?"
Queen Cersei said, "How could you think the daughter of the 'Red Viper' is innocent? Do you know how many poison formulas she is proficient in?"
"And she also seduced the servants of the Seven Gods!" the High Septom also spoke, the fat on his face trembling .
"It's because he was pervert himself." Tyene sneered, "If he really was devout to the Seven Gods, how could I possibly be able to seduce him. And my father, he didn't kill Lord Jon Arryn at all, did he? You still blame him for this crime!"
"See!" Joffrey shouted, "This woman has no repentance! She must be punished !"
At this moment Varys said, "Your Majesty, the crime of seducing a monk can be punished. Sentence her to walk naked through the streets, and then put her in a dark cell..."
"It's too cheap for her!" Joffrey was obviously dissatisfied with the punishment, "I want her dead!"
"Your Majesty!" Duke Eddard urged, "You can't sentence a person to death at will!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Tyrion also said, "If you kill her, it will be even more impossible for the 'Red Viper' to come to King's Landing again."
Cersei sneered and started to fan the flames: "It seems like if we don't kill this woman , the 'Red Viper' will come to King's Landing again. Don't be stupid."
"That's right!" The mother's support made the king more determined, "I now sentence Tyene Sand to death in the name of the king! Do it !"
"Your Majesty! Please don't kill people in the Great Sept of Baelor!"
"Your Majesty! This will only intensify the hatred with Dorn!"
"Your Majesty! You can't just sentence people to death!"
"Your Majesty..."
"Enough!" Everyone's dissuasion made Joffrey even more angry. He felt that his authority is being questioned . "I am the king! and I can kill whoever I want!"
Tyrion walked up to his nephew and said loudly : "The last one to do this was Aerys Targaryen, the 'mad king'. Need I remind you of what happened to him!"
"Go away, dwarf!" Joffrey yelled at his uncle, "Barristan!"
Ser Barristan hesitated.
Joffrey was panting with anger. He pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted, "Then I will do it myself!"
Tyene was going to watch the young king's jokes, but she didn't expect the other party sword to be so fast.
Chi!
Blood splattered everywhere.
Joffrey seemed to want to chop off the woman's head, but was stuck due to lack of strength.
And the woman didn't die immediately, she whimpered and writhed on the ground.
With a fierce gleam in Joffrey's eyes, he slashed again with his sword.
But it only made the scene more bloody and messy.
The originally good coronation ceremony suddenly became bloody and terrifying.
Samwell had already covered Natalie's eyes, not letting her see.
The hall exploded in an instant, and the sound of screaming, cursing, and crying rang out.
Some even Vomited .
In the end, James Lannister couldn't stand it anymore, so he drew his sword and ended the poor woman pain.
"Hahahahaha!" Joffrey laughed wildly with blood splattered all over his body, "give her head to Martell! Let them hand over 'Red Viper' immediately! Otherwise, just wait for the war! "
The young king waved the bloody long sword like crazy:
"War!"
