Chapter 529 Balon Sven

Stannis is dead.

He died at the hands of Stonehelm's second son, Balon Swan.

The other avenged his brother, Donal Swain, who was Renly's staff but was shot dead by arrows in Stannis' coup against Storm's End.

So Balon Swan's revenge on Stannis is reasonable and morally justified.

Although Stannis has always claimed that Renly and Viserys conspired to kill him and sacrifice Storm's End after he captured Storm's End, he knew the news leaked in advance, so he made the first move. committed murder.

However, after taking Storm's End, Stannis did not find any evidence in Renly's bedroom that Renly and Viserys were conspiring to kill him.

There was no correspondence between the two, and only a blank piece of paper was found on the table.

Stannis locked himself in the house for three days after learning of the incident, before ordering the news to be blocked.

However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that there are still many guards, servants and so on in Storm's End who used to be loyal to Renly, even to this day.

Compared to Stannis, who owed him five hundred silver deer all day long, the gentle-tempered, sympathetic and unassuming Renly was naturally favored by his subordinates.

Therefore, the news finally leaked out. Although no one dared to mention it in front of Stannis, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of discussion in private.

While Stannis fell in a pool of blood, the guards of Storm's End surrounded the murderer and then swarmed up.

"catch him!"

"catch him!"

Stonehelm's second son, Balon Swan, was brave and good at fighting, but after he killed Stannis, his fists were no match for four.

In the end, he was besieged by the guards of Storm's End, captured alive and tied up.

Stannis's assassination in the bedroom is naturally a big news, especially for Storm's End Castle, it's even more sleepless tonight.

Maester Cressen heard the old tears, although he had already predicted this day since he received the bad news of the Battle of Copper Gate City.

But he still couldn't accept that the Baratheon family was dying step by step. He watched the three boys who grew up die one by one, and now only Robert was imprisoned in King's Landing, but his death was a matter of time.

The Onion Knight, Stannis' most trusted aide, heard the news and rushed over like a thunderbolt.

Balon Swen was tied and held in the center of the hall by Wu Hua, and the nobles, instructors, and scholars in Storm's End Castle gathered together.

"This is murder!"

"Baron Swan killed Lord Stannis! He deserves the death penalty!"

Davos hurried to the scene and looked at the murderer who was pinned in the center of Storm's End hall, and said angrily.

The current Onion Knight is full of remorse. In fact, he met Balon Sven before the Battle of Copper Gate City.

It's just that as the most shallow noble in Stormland, the Seaworth family has no background, and has no connection with other nobles, so he just thought that the other party was a bit familiar, but he didn't recognize Balon Sven.

If he could find out earlier that the other party was lurking in the army and had bad intentions

But now Davos remorse is useless no matter what, Stannis has died at the hands of the other party.

His corpse has been cleaned, his remains are arranged, his eyes are covered with two opals, he is wearing a gorgeous armor with the crown of the stag, his hands are crossed on his lower abdomen, and he is lying quietly in Storm's End On the long dining table in the center of the hall.

As the murderer, Balon Swan was held down and knelt beside Stannis' body.

And now there are several nobles of Stormland in Storm's End Castle, Alexander Stemon, Earl of Longarch Castle, nicknamed 'Earl Baijin', sits in the center, wearing a coat of arms with a dagger piercing the heart on his chest.

Beside him is the Countess of Mistwood City, Marie Metelling, with the coat of arms of the white long-horned owl on her chest, and the Earl of Crow's Nest Castle, Coster Morrigan, with the coat of arms of flying ravens on her chest, and so on.

Hearing Davos' angry words, several storm land nobles immediately looked at each other, and then their eyes fell back to him.

"cough."

The Earl of Longarch Castle, Alexander Stemon, who was sitting in the first place, coughed lightly and said.

"Lord Davos, don't be impulsive yet."

"Please sit down."

The Countess Marie Metairin of Wulin City, who was beside him, did not speak, but a look of contempt appeared in her eyes.

"Humph--"

They were able to call the Onion Knight "sir", which was enough to give him face.

Davos was just a lucky smuggler. He just happened to be appreciated by Stannis, and he went from being a smuggler to becoming the lord of a territory on Cape Windfury.

As the youngest noble of Stormland, the Seaworth family has no land and no castle of its own. Now that Stannis is dead, and Davos' biggest backer has fallen, these traditional nobles are naturally interested in Davos, who was a smuggler. Si can't take it seriously.

When the Onion Knight heard the words of the Earl of Longarch Castle, he took a deep breath and calmed his anger.

He glanced at Stannis' corpse lying quietly in the center of the hall with sadness in his eyes, and then sat down on a chair beside him.

No matter what, Davos, as a member of the nobles of Stormland, is still entitled to a chair in this hall.

Everyone came together, and the hall of Storm's End was silent, and then the Earl of Longarch Castle coughed lightly and spoke first.

"Sir Balon Swan."

"Lord Davos accused you of murdering Lord Stannis. The evidence is conclusive and should be sentenced to death. Are you willing to plead guilty?"

Alexander Stuymon cast a color on Balon Swain, who was kneeling on the ground with his shoulders down.

Although Balon Swen is muscular, his brain is also not stupid. He immediately understood and struggled to stand up. At the same time, he shook his head and loudly denied it, but was pressed down again by the soldiers of Storm's End.

"I plead not guilty!"

"Oh?"

"Baron Sven, you don't admit that you killed Lord Stannis?"

And the Earl of Crow's Nest Castle, Coster Morrigan, who was sitting in another chair, squinted his eyes and said.

"No, I admit I killed Stannis."

"But I don't agree with my murder. Stannis killed Lord Renly and killed my brother at the same time!"

"Heavenly Father has given us the power to judge, avenge, and bring justice! I am doing justice for Lord Renly, and at the same time avenging the death of my brother, to judge Stannis!"

Balon Swen was very strong. Although his hands were tied, the two soldiers couldn't hold his shoulders, so he stood up abruptly, and said loudly in the hall of Storm's End.
