#366 - Chapter 100 Lyanna is captured (Part 3)

Lyanna shook her head slightly, a hint of determination in her eyes. She turned to the captain of the guard and gave the order: "No need for further words, just execute the order. Ryan, make sure to protect the children. Becotte and Galon will surely seek justice for me." With that, Lyanna slowly knelt down, tightly embracing the two children, and gently kissed their foreheads, whispering, "My darlings, Mommy has important matters to attend to and needs to leave for a while. You go back with Ryan first and remember to be good and obedient."

Lyanna resolutely followed the Order's armed forces towards the Great Sept, while the guards closely protected the two children, quickly evacuating Setigar Manor.

At this moment, the commander of the city guard, upon hearing this news, was so terrified that he collapsed directly onto his chair, his face as pale as paper.

Jeslyn Bywater's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat, and his back was already soaked. Lady Lyanna had actually been captured! With his current abilities, there was no way he could get her back from the Great Sept. But fortunately, he could deal with the 'poor people's assembly' besieging the Morningstar Trading Company.

At this point, he couldn't care less about the Red Keep's ban. He quickly gathered a thousand gold cloaks and rushed towards the siege location. Upon arrival, Jeslyn didn't say a word and immediately ordered the gold cloaks to lash out at the crowd. Most of these people were just ordinary commoners from King's Landing, who had come to join the fun after being called upon. They were somewhat fearful of the gold cloaks. So, after being beaten, they scattered like birds and beasts.

Seeing this, Sardin, the chief steward of the Morningstar Trading Company in King's Landing, personally came forward to express his gratitude to Jeslyn. Immediately afterward, all the shops under the Morningstar and Setigar families closed down. Ordinary goods were sealed up, while valuable goods were transferred to Setigar Manor. Not only that, but all the manpower was also concentrated in the manor, and the stored weapons were distributed one by one, arming everyone to the teeth.

However, Yarral, the captain of the Iron Gate guard, said worriedly, "Commander, aren't we being too reckless? They are the people of the Church, a bunch of fanatics! What if the Red Keep orders us to be punished? How should we deal with it then?" Jeslyn said with a worried expression.

However, Jeslyn then said firmly, "You don't understand the situation. Lady Lyanna being captured by the Faith of the Seven will surely enrage Marquis Galon. The reason I'm doing this is entirely to protect myself! Taking action against the people of the Church allows me to distance myself from this matter. Even if I offend the Church and the Red Keep, at most I'll just be dismissed from my post. But if I anger that lord, I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep my life!"

Hearing this, Yarral couldn't help but worry, "Will Marquis Galon really come? After all, that's the Faith of the Seven! Who would dare to provoke them?"

Jeslyn smiled slightly, answering confidently, "Haha, I've known him for over a decade. For him, as long as he wants to do something, no one can stop him from moving forward. At least not in Westeros. Even if the King himself and the entire Small Council joined forces, he would not hesitate to ride his horse and trample over them. As for any retaliatory actions the Faith of the Seven might take, there's no need to worry about that at all. Anyway, I'm in this military camp. If those armed forces of the Order dare to attack the camp, then they are openly trampling on the bottom line of royal power. Then they can only wait for the full outbreak of war!"

After hearing his superior's words, Yarral's face showed an expression of incomparable admiration. He never expected that this commander, who usually seemed so lazy, could see the situation so clearly. As expected of a descendant of a noble family, his knowledge is different from ordinary people.

Almost at the same time, inside Setigar Manor, Sardin arranged for the maids to do their best to soothe the frightened children.

Then, he turned to look at the stewards below and said in a serious tone, "The Faith of the Seven's actions this time can be said to have completely torn apart our relationship. I have sent relevant information to various regions such as Highgarden, Crackclaw Point, Duskendale, Pentos, and Skagos. No matter where Lord Galon is, he should receive this news soon."

The people present came from the Setigar, Leake, and Morningstar families, but they were all united, advancing and retreating together. Sardin continued, "The Faith of the Seven's arrest of Lady Lyanna means that they have officially broken ties with us. This is our dereliction of duty. We can't let the lord suffer any more losses. Tonight, we must immediately escort young Master Tom and Miss Nanalie out safely. Sett, this matter will be entrusted to you. The brothers in the tax police team will assist you in providing cover, and you must ensure their safe arrival in Duskendale. As for the others, stay with me to defend the manor. If anyone dares to invade, show no mercy and kill them directly! Whether they are from the royal family or the Church, let them know clearly that we are not lambs to be slaughtered!"

"We swear to defend the lord's honor!" All the stewards shouted in unison, their voices low and firm.

After Lyanna was brought into the Great Sept, the High Sparrow was nowhere to be seen. Only three monks were responsible for the interrogation. Lyanna naturally wouldn't be polite to them. She fearlessly pointed at their noses and cursed. These monks weren't as bold as the High Sparrow, and they didn't dare to inflict any real punishment on Lyanna. They could only leave a sentence: "Sin cannot be hidden before God, madam. The gods will watch your performance! Only repentance is your only way out." Then they hurriedly left.

Finally, Lyanna was imprisoned in the Sept's dungeon, in the same dark little cell that Margaery and Cersei had once squatted in. During the escort, she passed by those large cells, which held captured heretics and merchants. The environment inside the cells was extremely harsh, usually with a dozen or twenty people crammed into the same large cell, and a foul stench permeated the air. When these people saw a noble lady passing by, they excitedly pressed against the bars, greedily staring at Lyanna's body, and some even dared to utter filthy words.

A bald man with no nose and well-developed muscles pushed away the people around him, stretched out his thick arms through the bars, and lewdly joked, "Little lady, you're really pretty! Come in and play with this old man!" This person was actually Rorge, who had once traveled with Jaqen.

Lyanna's eyes were cold, and she actually walked towards that cell. Rorge's ugly face immediately became excited, and the Order's warrior escorting her wanted to stop her.
