83. The Fastest Trial

When all the prisoners were being escorted to King's Landing. Alexander popped back to Winterfell to check up on the situation and also to leave Robb there. Thankfully all the Ironborns were caught.

Although no one was supposed to get hurt. A good samaritan saw the Iron Born intruders trying to break into the castle and decided to fight them. He was slightly injured before Wolf's Swords saved him.

He entered the Stark's Living room, """""Grandpa"""""

All the kids ran to him. The small ones had also started to speak perfectly now.

"Ah... My little wolves and Dragons." Alexander said and made them levitate to hug him.

"Here, take these and go play" he gave them some chocolates and toys.

He looked around in the room, Elina, Anna, Ashara, and Tysha were there.

"Is everything okay?" Anna asked in concern.

Alexander nodded, "Walder, Roose and Mace Tyrell are being transported to King's Landing to be executed. There were many lords that I saved there so the whole Westeros probably already knows what happened there. But the sad news is that Catelyn was involved in this. She tried to slit Brandon's throat."

Ashara fell back onto the sofa. "B-But, why would she do this? Didn't she used to love Brandon?"

"Used to. She wanted her son to become the next Lord of Winterfell. I and Brandon were a hurdle. But she was also backstabbed and Roose Bolton tried to kill Ned and Robb. Walder killed Hoster Tully. Though I did save his son because he had already told me that he didn't want any lordship. He wants to keep on studying in the Tower of Knowledge. Mace came with 1000 soldiers to kill me. Lannisters probably had some backhand dealings. Ironborns were involved too," he briefed them.

"By the gods, why do we have so many enemies?" Elina exclaimed.

"That's past tense now, Elina. We are going to have some extra territories soon. Also, our Army will lay siege to Dreadfort tomorrow. Lord Greatjon Umber will probably join. Take care, I must go back to my prisoners now."

He popped back to the convoy escorting prisoners.

...

Mid Night

King's Landing, Red Keep.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

The door of King's chamber opened, "What happened now damnit, did the moon fall down?" Robert groaned.

"No, your grace. It happened, they attacked Lord Stark." Jon said.

"WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED?" His eyes suddenly lost all the sleep.

Jon then told Robert whatever he knew from the multiple ravens he received.

"Good good, I will chop their heads myself. Breaking guest rights and plotting to Murder a great House. I would especially like to behead Mace. He's been going around 7 kingdoms telling that he defeated me in the battle of Ashford." Robert said angrily.

"That would not be wise, my lord. We must give them a proper trial. At least just for the sake of showing that we are unbiased." Jon suggested.

"Goddammit, Jon. They attacked the uncle. Starks have done so much for both of us. We can't do this to them"

"Your Grace, you misunderstood me. I never said to let them go. I just ask you to announce their punishment in the trial. In fact, I'd say, let's hold a public trial."

"Yes, that would be great. The people love uncle. They would also wanna see the faces that betrayed the Starks." Robert replied.

...

Many houses received Ravens that night. Tywin wasn't happy to hear about the unsuccessful massacre. Oleena was sad but not that much. She was already planning on taking Mace out to make way for Willas. Dorne was silent as always.

But no one knew what was going to happen soon. Or how the smallfolks were going to react.

The next day, the newspaper reported about the events of what was now being called the Wolf's night. Smallfolks all around the Westeros found out about it. The first thing they did? Mass protest.

Even Alexander had no idea why the people were acting like this. All he had given them was food, homes, and jobs. But then he realized, food, home, and jobs were something that all craved for, but not everyone got them. He had fulfilled the promise that every politician makes while running an election.

"All-father, you must hurry. People are getting very angry and want the criminals killed. I received the same news from my birds that came from Oldtown. People are cursing at house Tyrell. I never thought I'd see a day when all the people of Westeros will love one person this much," Varys said in the communication mirror.

"Even I didn't know this was going to happen. Good thing we are just a few hours away from King's Landing. See you soon." Alexander replied.

...

Alexander was welcomed into the city by a cheering crowd. They did throw some eggs at the 3 criminals in the cage. Alexander had to reprimand them to not waste food and told them to throw small stones if they wanted.

So, from the gates to the Red Keep, Walder Frey, Roose Bolton, and Mace Tyrell were beaten with small stones. By the end, their faces had swollen up.

He stopped when he saw that the preparation for the trial had already been made. It was going to be an open trial. Robert was sitting on a big chair behind a long table. They had put the set-up on the stairs leading to the Red Keep. The Smallfolks also gathered behind.

Robert quickly got up and gave a hug to Alexander. "Haha, my boy. You really lost some weight. Now you look like a real warrior"

"Thank you, Uncle. There's no harm in being prepared. Who knows who might stab you in the back." He said, looking at the prisoners.

"Haha... I think you'll need to use your War hammer on someone soon. But not them," Alexander said and proceeded to meet Jon.

After some time, the trial was in session. All the accused were put to stand at the center of the huge crowd.

Jon stood up to act as the speaker. "Lord Frey, Lord Tyrell, and Lord Bolton. You have been accused of treason and attempted murder of Lord Stark and his whole family. You conspired to gather them under one roof and kill them by breaking the guest's rights. Do you have anything to say?"

"I am being framed. I didn't do anything." Mace cried.

"You have no proof of such a thing happening." Walder Frey countered.

"I see, okay then. Let me ask the first witness to appear." Jon said.

Randyll Tarly came out of the crowd.

"Lord Tarly, can you reiterate what happened in the Twins?"

"Yes, Lord Hand. What happened that night was unholy. After late Lord Hoster Tully and his son got married. Lord Frey gave a speech, in the end, he said that he wanted to give a gift. But the gift came as a murder attempt. They tried to Kill the Starks and were nearly successful in doing so, if not for Lord Stark's smartness. Lord Bolton attempted to kill the Stark brothers. Lord Frey's men killed Lord Tully and Lord Tyrell attempted to kill Lord Stark with his hidden sword after Lord Stark was injured by the wine girl. I didn't know what Lord Tyrell was bringing me for. He just asked me to join him with his one thousand men army." He recalled.

"Y-You traitor. What are you saying? I will get your house destroyed." Mace angrily yelled.

"I am sorry Lord Tyrell. But my conscience doesn't allow me to lie. I still have to answer the seven someday," Randyll Tarly said and went back into the crowd.

"Hahaha... 1000 men and still couldn't defeat Lord Stark." Robert loudly laughed. The crowd also laughed. Making Mace angry.

"You can't kill me. If you kill me, M-My house, the Reach will be after your blood." Mace Tyrell shouted.

"I wouldn't bet on that, I received a raven from your mother, Lady Oleena yesterday. She said that she has no problem with whatever punishment we give you. In fact, she also said that Willas will soon return to take the Lordship of House Tyrell." Jon said. Making Mace turn pale.

"Alright, I think we have come to a conclusion. You all committed treason. I sentence all 3 of you to death. The region under House Bolton will fall under the House Stark. The Starks have also taken control over the Frey's region and I have no problem with that. May your souls rest in peace." Robert announced. With that, the crowd cheered.

The three were then taken to the execution platform. Alexander had told them not to do public beheadings as he wanted to stop that practice in the future. Execution by hanging was still okay though. He still had problems with doing public executions but this wasn't the time to change that.

They were made to stand on the platform, the ropes were put around their necks and the executioner pulled the lever. The 3 twitched for a few seconds before dying.

2 great houses and 1 fat oaf were officially removed from Westeros, in what was going to be called the fastest trial, later.
