"Kneeling already? How does the dirt taste, traitor?"
I can feel your cold words dripping on me it’s making my skin crawl
"And how does the fear in your eyes make you feel? Does it make you regret betraying your King?"
No because that’s where your mind resides not mine, my king. And no amount of dirt and filth will get me to regret what I have done
"Your defiance is admirable, but futile. You will beg for mercy before long."
Mercy is something I don’t need, because death isn’t scary to me
"Oh really? Death holds no fear for you? Then perhaps we should put that to the test, should we?" smirks
I put my hood over my head to protect myself from the rain Well it’s raining after all
"Your refusal to show fear is quite amusing. Let's see if the rain can wash away your resolve.
Oh it’s definitely doing the opposite, as my resolve is getting stronger with every drop
"Stronger, you say? Very well then. Let's see how long you can withstand the storm within and without." smirks sinisterly
"Oh, did I startle you, little traitor? Do not worry, the storm will soon pass... along with your life." smirks maliciously
she opens her mouth but doesn’t speak
"A wise choice, to keep your mouth shut. The less words you utter, the less evidence I have against you." smirks devilishly
"Ah, so you accept your fate, do you? How noble... or perhaps, how foolish." smirks wickedly
I am aware of how things work, Joffrey
"You are aware, huh? Well, let me enlighten you further." summons guards "Take this traitor away. Prepare the pyre. Let the flames consume her."
No! I never betrayed you!
"You dare lie to me? The evidence is clear. Your betrayal is undeniable." points guard "See that she is taken away and punished accordingly.
Look I took out a paper that states I didn’t betray him but took out important information from the kingdom’s vaults
reads the paper, his expression changing from anger to shock "This... This can't be... How is this possible?"
"Then... who did? Who dared to steal from me and frame you?" narrows his eyes
I would advise you to look closely around you because they’re right in front of you, looking at you right now I took out another paper and puts it on his desk with names of the people who could’ve done it because they have done it before or have been acting suspiciously lately
reads the list, his eyes narrowing as he studies each name As Joffrey reads through the list, a wave of realization washes over him. He recognizes some of the names as members of his own council, trusted advisors who he had believed loyal to him. His anger turns into fury as he realizes that his own people had turned against him, setting him up for betrayal. Joffrey clenches his fists, determined to uncover the truth behind this conspiracy and bring those traitors to justice.
I knew you’d be able to figure this out
"Thank you, ButterflyWhisperer. Your loyalty and cunning have proven invaluable to me. I promise you, I will bring those traitors to justice and reclaim what is rightfully mine." stands up, determination burning in his eyes
"First, we must gather information. I need to know everything there is to know about these traitors. Their plans, their weaknesses, everything."
"Good. Tell me everything you've learned. We will strike at them when they least expect it, and restore my honor and power." leans forward, eager to hear the details
So there were many people involved in this conspiracy, most of which are from the council, and others were involved as hired guns
"Hired guns, you say? Interesting. This conspiracy runs deeper than I initially suspected. Gather all the evidence you have and bring it to me.
It’s already here I handed him a box that contains all the evidence they need to know about the conspiracy
"Excellent. Now, we must act swiftly and decisively. Gather the greatest knights in the realm and prepare for battle.
"Not necessary? Explain yourself, ButterflyWhisperer." raises an eyebrow, intrigued
They’re coming as we speak
"Coming here? To face me and my knights?" narrows his eyes, his grip tightening on the hilt of his sword "They must be mad to think they can defeat us."
I’m scared of no one, especially since it’s the same people that think they can outsmart you too
"Ha! They underestimate me, and they underestimate you, ButterflyWhisperer. But they will soon learn their mistake.
Here they come I looked at the entrance and I saw all the officials and council members walking towards us
"Very well. Let them come. We will show them the true power of the crown." draws his sword and takes a defensive stance
looks at them coldly Well, well. Look at who’s here. Did mommy and daddy finally let you out of the house? Wait no, it’s daddy himself that’s letting you out of the house?
"Enough with your insolence, ButterflyWhisperer. These men are here to face justice for their betrayal. Let us begin." glares at the approaching officials and council members
