Chapter 603 The Last Witness
Robert's time on the Iron Throne was more than squandering the money accumulated over the generations of House Targaryen.
At the same time, in the name of the royal family, he also owed the Lannister family, the Tyrell family, the church, the Braavos Iron Vault, and the Tyrosh Trading Company a total of millions of golden dragons.
However, most of these creditors have been dealt with by Viserys, and the remaining Tyrosey firm did not have the courage to come to collect debts.
The scene of the trial meeting was full of grievances. People cursed King Robert, who was profligate. Robert Baratheon, who was standing at the center, said nothing in the face of what the people pointed out. People insulted him and even threw things on him.
There was even a need for golden robes and soldiers of the Unsullied to maintain order.
"Protect the prisoners!"
"drink!"
Under the command of the commander of the Unsullied Legion, dozens of Unsullied soldiers held their shields high to form a round shield to protect Robert in the center, so that he would not be directly crushed to death.
bang bang bang-
However, there was a constant sound of things being thrown onto the shield, and the Unsullied soldiers held the shield in their hands and their faces were expressionless, like machines, without flinching in the slightest.
"Everyone!"
"stop!"
"Back! Back!"
"Anyone who dares to disturb the order will be arrested!"
And the soldiers of the capital garrison, under the command of Brynden Tully, drove the angry people out and kept them away from the execution ground, so as not to disturb the normal order.
It took a while to arrest several people who led the trouble, and finally this riot caused by the trial was quelled.
But the last sympathy for King Robert was gone, and there was only anger at him.
And Robert himself remained silent the whole time, because he knew it was his own mistake, and since he was put in prison, Robert actually thought a lot about the reasons for his failure.
There are reasons for the war, there are reasons for Tywin to usurp military power while he is in a coma, and there are also reasons for his extravagance.
If I didn’t spend so much gold dragons for pleasure, but instead benefited the country and the people, developed the country’s strength, increased the number of soldiers, and improved armaments, would it be easier in the war?
Not to be beaten by the White Walkers, nor to lose the final civil war, lose the Iron Throne, and become a prisoner.
However, it is useless to reflect on the mistakes made in the past, and he has no chance to start again.
Maybe if I give Robert another chance to travel back in time, he may not work hard, but fight for a few days, wait until the time of chicken blood is over, and then continue to do what he should do.
Some changes did take place when Robert became king, but in the end his true nature was revealed.
Afterwards, when all the commotion was subsided and the scene returned to normal order, the Unsullied soldiers withdrew the shield formation and released the protected Robert Baratheon.
"Hurry up, kid!"
Robert stood in the center of the venue, with heavy shackles on his hands and feet, and a messy beard on his face. He looked up at Viserys on the stage. There was only this silver-haired young man in his eyes, and then his voice was a little impatient. Open the mouth.
"Don't you just want my head?"
He was tired of the trial and just wanted to end it quickly.
However, it was at this time that the last witness was also ready to play.
The former queen Cersei, who was sitting in the ranks of the nobles below, was still dressed as a maid and chose to turn a blind eye to the curious eyes around her.
Her long blond hair came out with a beautiful hair accessory. Although she didn't have any beautiful clothes, Cersei still dressed up today.
Cersei stood up from her seat, then crouched down and hugged her children.
"Joffrey."
"Mother."
The blond-haired boy still had scars of fear and unwiped tears on his face. Obviously, the chaotic scene just frightened him. He thought that the group was going to eat his father raw, even with him and Myrcella. When the seedlings were harvested, the angry people pointed at their noses and scolded them as 'bitch'.
"Protect your sister."
"Mom, where are you going?"
Joffrey asked terrified, reaching out to grab her mother's skirt, but Cersei didn't say much, just wiped away the tears from Joffrey's face, then stood up with her skirt up, facing the witness stand. walked over.
On the other side, Robert, who had shackles on both hands and feet, was glaring at Viserys on the judgment seat, cursing incessantly, just for a quick death, but at this moment, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw The last witness came up.
Robert turned his head and stared at Cersei with bell-like eyes. He did not expect that the last witness against him was his queen.
"Cersei, you."
"why?"
The man with a gray beard like an iron tower couldn't help but said, his voice was low and hoarse, with a deep puzzlement, he was already dead, why did Cersei come up to give him the most fatal blow.
"Have you forgotten? Robert."
However, the maid with a long golden hair and attractive hair raised her hand and brushed her hair and raised her delicate chin. Her eyes were a little red, but she held back her tears.
"I asked if you ever loved me? Even just once."
"But you said no."
When Robert was just escorted to King's Landing, Cersei visited him with a pair of children, but Cersei leaned on the door and asked one last question before parting.
She asked Robert if he had ever loved her, but Robert shook his head and said no.
Since then Cersei has completely given up on Robert and has no thoughts of anything.
Perhaps the former girl from the West Side had also longed for her husband when she first married to King's Landing. After all, her husband was the hero who overthrew the tyrant, but Robert was on the bed on the wedding night, shouting to her. Another woman's name.
Then Cersei no longer looked at her husband, but turned her head to look at the tribunal, and then said with a straight face.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen."
As a wife, she testified some crimes about her husband and revealed some secrets of the royal family. However, many of these witnesses have already described them, and Cersei repeated it again, which made many nobles of the Seven Kingdoms in the audience. They looked at each other, wondering what brought Cersei up.
But on the judgment seat, some prominent nobles already knew the reason.
They looked at the top of Robert's head with sympathy, and then turned to look at the two children. After all, the children were innocent and the victims of the love and hatred of adults.
