Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 113 Chaos of Reese 1
The confidant's voice was very low, and his facial muscles were twitching slightly with tension. "My lord, the situation is worse than we imagined. In the parliament, the captive brought by the envoy actually revealed that you hired the Faceless Man to assassinate Gavin. Now all the parliamentarians are furious and angry. They all believe that it is because of your behavior that Rees suffered this cruel war. The situation has completely gotten out of control. My lord, you must find a solution quickly!"

Byron Heywood's body shook violently, and he stumbled, almost collapsing to the ground. He grasped the armrest of the chair in panic, his knuckles turning white from the force, and tried desperately to calm himself down: "What should I do? Quick, go and bring my team of Unsullied Guards, surround the Council Hall for me, and no one is allowed to leave without my order. I will go over and deal with it now."

Byron Heywood rushed to the parliament hall in a hurry. His steps were quick and heavy, the muscles on his face were tense, and his eyes revealed panic and anger.

The members of the Governor's Council were all wealthy businessmen and high-ranking military officers from Rees. Due to the destruction of the fleet, nearly half of the council members were missing at this time, and the usually crowded council hall had become much emptier.

As Byron Heywood pushed open the heavy door of the parliament hall, everyone in the hall turned their eyes to the governor who suddenly came here, and suddenly became quiet. Everyone stared at him closely, and some people's eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger.

Byron Heywood entered the parliament hall with firm steps, pushed away the people blocking his way without any hesitation, and walked straight to the center of the hall.

He pretended to be calm, glanced at everyone fiercely, and then shouted loudly: "Members of the Parliament, please listen to me! This is entirely Gavin Belleris's conspiracy. He wants to invade our free Rees and plunder our wealth. For this reason, he deliberately sent people to frame me, just to find a legitimate reason for his troops. Don't believe it! We should unite as one and fight against this evil Dragon King together!"

Then he immediately encouraged everyone, saying: "You don't have to worry too much about the safety of Lys. Even if we lose our navy, Lys still has 2,000 standing soldiers and more than 3,000 standing mercenaries. Moreover, there are countless mercenaries in the city, and we can hire them at any time. With Gavin Belleris's current military strength, he can't even think of breaking into Lys. I have already sent messengers to Tyrosh and Myr for help. Once the fleets of both sides arrive, it will be the end of Gavin Belleris. Then we can retake the Stepstones again." Although his voice trembled slightly, he still tried to appear tough and resolute.

After listening to his speech, everyone began to whisper to each other, and the parliament hall returned to its noisy and bustling state.

However, some congressmen did not buy it. One of them stood up, pointed his finger at Byron Heywood, and angrily accused him: "Byron Heywood, we are discussing your issue now. The evidence is irrefutable, and you are still trying to quibble? It is because of your selfish desires that Rees was plunged into the flames of war. Countless naval soldiers died innocently, and Rees is now in danger!"

The congressman's condemnation was like turning on a switch. In a moment, countless accusations were heard. However, some congressmen who supported Byron Heywood spoke up to defend him. A fierce quarrel broke out between the two sides, and the atmosphere in the parliament hall suddenly became extremely tense. At this time, Congressman Alec walked quickly to the center, raised his hands and pressed them down to signal everyone to be quiet. Then he looked at Byron Heywood with cold eyes and sneered, "Governor Byron, your crimes are obvious and cannot be covered up. It was you who provoked the Dragon King and dragged Reese into the abyss of war. Today you must give everyone a satisfactory explanation!" Then he looked around at everyone and said loudly, "I propose that, in view of Governor Byron's serious incompetence, Byron Heywood's position as governor should be immediately removed, and he should be handed over to calm the Dragon King's anger."

Byron Heywood's eyes were wide open, veins popped out on his neck, and he roared, "Alec, you traitor! How dare you convene the parliament without the Governor's permission? I haven't settled accounts with you yet! I suspect you have been colluding with the invader for a long time. Your glass and paper business all comes from the Stone Steps Islands. All this is your doing behind the scenes! You traitor to Rees, I will now remove you from your position as a member of parliament."

After hearing Byron Haywood's words, an elderly congressman immediately stood up tremblingly and shouted angrily with a face full of anger: "Byron Haywood, although you are the governor, you have no right to dismiss any member of parliament. You can only dismiss them after a vote by the governor and the parliament. You are showing great contempt for all of us and the parliament."

The situation suddenly became chaotic, and even the congressmen who had previously voiced support for Governor Byron began to denounce him.

Just as the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic and about to get out of control, the messenger sent by Gavin stood up slowly and leisurely, and pulled out a man who was tied up and had a bruised face from behind. The messenger looked cold and said, "Byron Heywood, this is the messenger you sent to Braavos, who went to the House of Black and White with your orders. How dare you say you don't know him? He is your confidant, and I think everyone here should know him."

The moment Byron Heywood saw the man, his face turned pale as paper, as if all the blood had been drained out of him. But he was still unwilling to admit defeat, and continued to argue at the top of his lungs: "This is a conspiracy! He disappeared before, and I couldn't find any trace of him anywhere. It turns out that you kidnapped him! You tortured him into confessing and forced him to frame me!"

Senator Alec said sarcastically, "Byron Heywood, you are still stubborn even now!" He then raised his voice and said passionately, "Members of the Legislature, the evidence is now irrefutable. I propose a vote to remove Governor Byron from his post. Please raise your hands if you agree."

As Alec finished speaking, the room fell into silence, as if time had frozen. Then, several members raised their hands without hesitation to show their approval. Seeing someone take the lead, members raised their right hands one after another. After a while, most people in the parliament raised their hands high, and the vote in favor showed an overwhelming trend.
