Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

“We do not have conclusive evidence to prove that the Red Witch used magic to murder Lady Millie.”

Hearing her teacher say that, Renis breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She feared that it was because she had allowed the red witch into the castle that Miri had died, and that she would feel guilty.

However, just as Renis breathed a sigh of relief, the problem returned to her.

Did Heilong actually kill anyone?

"However... Your Highness."

Then the scholar standing to the side suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"If we imprison this Red Witch on charges of murdering Lady Millie..."

"That way people will believe..."

"Belle Rien did not kill anyone."

The scholar's voice was soft and distant, and Renis's body suddenly trembled.

Then he turned around and looked at his teacher with an incredulous expression.

Under the bright lights around him, the scholar stood with his hands in front of him, his face in shifting light and shadow, showing no sign of a smile.

Chapter 145 Arrest

That night.

Melisandre sat quietly at her desk in her room.

On the table, a half-burnt piece of white wax was silently contributing its light, dispelling the darkness of the entire room.

"The process of dispelling darkness and restoring light will inevitably be fraught with difficulties..."

"And there were sacrifices."

The woman sat at her desk and suddenly started talking to herself for no apparent reason, it was unclear what she was referring to.

Before her was a silver-plated bronze mirror, crafted by a skilled artisan from Mil, and in the mirror Melisandre's eyes were fixed on the half-burning white wax on the table.

The flames... are flickering.

Under the firelight, the white wax gradually shrank, turning into drops of wax that fell onto the candlestick below.

"Your sacrifice will not be remembered by the world."

"but..."

While Melisandre was whispering something.

Suddenly, a cacophony of footsteps sounded outside the room door, growing ever closer.

boom--

The woman's door was kicked open, and a group of guards dressed in armor and carrying longswords barged in without caring whether Melisandre was asleep or not.

Then the captain of the guards pointed at Melisandre and spoke loudly.

"Lady Melisandre, follower of Rahlo, you have been arrested on charges of murdering the magic and occult advisor, Lady Miri Maz Thur!"

He emphasized the followers of Rahlo loudly as he read out the charges, and then continued.

"Now, all you need to do is confess your crimes and accept the punishment!"

As the captain of the guards finished speaking.

wow-

A group of soldiers then surrounded them.

However, no one dared to come up and arrest the red-robed witch directly, because the news had already spread throughout the castle that this evil red-robed witch had burned Lady Miri alive with fire magic in order to join the castle and seize power.

People hold things in awe of the incomprehensible, such as the existence of magic and witchcraft.

Therefore, the soldiers only dared to surround Melisandre, but dared not actually go forward to capture her, for they were also afraid that they would turn into a fireball and be burned alive.

However, Melisandre remained calm as she sat in her chair, seemingly already aware of the accusations and charges read aloud by the guards. She slightly raised her eyelids and casually swept her gaze over everyone present.

He then pulled his robe together and stood up from the chair.

wow-

The red-robed witch's casual movements startled the soldiers surrounding her, who all took several steps back.

"you..."

What are you trying to do?!

The captain of the guard who had just recited Melisandre's crimes also drew his longsword, looking at the other man warily, his voice slightly tense.

He was a guard in the Great Hall during the day, and he heard with his own ears that the other party had blasphemed the Seven Gods, calling them false gods. Therefore, after receiving the order to arrest Melisandre, he thought of taking the opportunity to teach this woman a lesson.

However, I still felt a little nervous when I actually stood in front of the witch.

However, seeing the tense expressions on the faces of the soldiers around her, Melisandre remained nonchalant, then calmly shook her head and spoke.

"You can take me away."

"But I do not condone these crimes that have been imposed on me."

Upon hearing Melisandre's words, the captain of the guard was just about to reprimand her.

"you..."

However, he was immediately interrupted by the red-robed witch's next words.

"Furthermore, I suspect that Her Highness the Princess did not allow me to wear these things."

The woman with long red hair slightly raised her chin, and according to her gaze, she saw the chains and shackles held by the guards.

"this..."

Melisandre's words caused all the guards present to exchange bewildered glances, before their eyes finally fell upon their captain.

Did His Highness say that?

The Andal warrior's face changed color several times, alternating between pale and red.

"this…"

He recalled the words the Princess had specifically mentioned when she issued this order…

Finally, when she looked up at Melisandre, a hint of fear appeared in her eyes.

Because... reality is generally not much different from what she says.

Although Renis ordered Melisandre to be arrested on charges of murder, she specifically requested that she be treated well, making it a case of arrest in name only, but in reality, a change of location for house arrest.

But how did this woman know all this?

He remembered that he was the only one there at the time.

Or is this... the power of witchcraft and magic?

The captain of the guards' expression shifted between light and shadow, and his gaze toward Melisandre was now filled with fear.

Finally, facing the gazes of his brothers, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand.

"Just do as she says!"

"take away!"

The guards then laid down their weapons and the shackles used to arrest criminals.

Melisandre did not resist and allowed the soldiers to take her out of the house, put her on a carriage, and lower the curtains on both sides. The carriage then drove out of the castle that night and imprisoned the red witch in the dungeon of Andalus.

boom--

The prison gates were closed and the locks were put back in place.

...

And inside the castle.

Renis stood alone in the darkness, her mind in turmoil.

"How...could I have done this?"

She didn't know if Melisandre had killed Miri, but she felt that the possibility was unlikely, because the two had no prior grudges or enmities, so how could she have suddenly killed the other person as soon as she arrived?

However, Renis had no idea what was going through her mind, and in the end, she inexplicably agreed to her teacher's suggestion.

They sent men to arrest the Red Witch and threw her into prison.

This way, people would believe that the person wasn't killed by Bellerion, and they wouldn't be afraid or even hate him...

However, Renis never imagined that by doing this, she was essentially believing that Millie had died at the hands of Bellerion.

She also didn't know why Mili would appear near the dragon in the middle of the night. Perhaps... perhaps she was just passing by?

Or was she curious about the dragon and reached out to touch it?

Then Bellerion mistook her for an enemy. It didn't actually want to hurt her. It...it...maybe it just wanted to play a game with Miri?

"I..."

The girl with long brown hair squatted on the ground, feeling like her brain was about to explode.

A bold idea kept popping into my head, but I couldn't make up my mind about it.

She had always lived under the protection Viserys had created for them, and now that he was gone, she didn't even have the courage to make a major decision on her own.

hiss~

And at this time.

Rego let out a joyful roar and then jumped onto her shoulder, nuzzling Renis's cheek with his head.

The girl's heart softened instantly. She let out a long breath and gently stroked the hideous scales on Rego's body.

Then he raised his hand and slapped Bellerion hard.

The black dragon tilted its head slightly, but whether it didn't dodge or didn't want to, it was hit hard on the head by Renis.

Roar...
