Outside the window, a beautiful blue sky and clouds floated among the mountains. Angry Lords, young Knights, and squire all gathered in the garden to listen to Lysa, that Madwoman, wailing—a deranged, fat, and foolish woman.
"Please forgive me, Jon. It was you, it was you who wanted to take Sweet Robin away from me. It was you, you never loved me. You only loved your former wife, only because you wanted my father's taxi soldiers." The blue robes of the squire held this deranged former Regent, who seemed terrified by the ghost of Jon Arryn. Under immense pressure, she was extremely prone to collapse.
Lord Robert's white falcon soared in the garden. Captain of the Guard Vardis, with silver hair, a robust build, wearing a blue robe and a crescent falcon breastplate, held the Hand's falcon sword, his eyes filled with fury, ready to draw it at any moment. The blue robes of the guards were as cold as ice, as if Jon Arryn had come back to life, sword in hand.
The falcon, tired from flying, flew directly onto Gendry's shoulder and surveyed the crowd. Gendry looked at the beautiful, snow-white falcon; the eagle seemed to have a spirit.
"The eagle has manifested! Lord Jon's spirit in heaven is pleased," Ser Vardis said in surprise.
"The eagle has manifested!" the Lords shouted.
Gendry, however, felt it was just a coincidence. King Robert had given this falcon to Lord Jon, but Lord Jon hardly ever hunted, and was still close with the King. After all, the falcon found him, the tallest black-haired Knight in the crowd. But this seemed like a miracle, and it better reflected justice.
"May your spirit in heaven protect us, Lord Jon." With the falcon on his shoulder, Gendry looked at Lysa, a pitiful woman, and also a Madwoman. In The Eyrie, today he only had two tasks to complete: the first was judgment, and the second was to deal with the aftermath.
Everyone heard clearly that Lysa's sins were grave and undeniable. First, she used "tears" in wine to poison Hand Jon. Second, she fabricated facts and wrote letters to deceive Stark into the scheme, inciting civil unrest. Third, she harmed children with sweet sleepflower, Lord Robert. Fourth, she colluded with Littlefinger, tarnishing House Arryn's honor, and arbitrarily bestowed Lord Arryn's belongings upon others.
"Enough, Lysa has said enough and in enough detail. Make her shut her mouth." Gendry looked at the crazy, pitiful woman. She was like Littlefinger's puppet, all truths laid bare in her panic.
Lysa's mouth was once again gagged with a cloth pad. The blue robes of the squire glared fiercely at this foolish woman, the murderer of the former Hand. Scabbards struck her violently, stripping away her aura as Lady Arryn. What else did she have?
"Maester Colemon, have you clearly recorded everything this murderer has stated?"
"Undoubtedly, Your Highness." Maester Colemon nodded, holding his parchment. Maester Colemon had managed to pass through with a relatively clean conscience, saving his life.
"There was also Ser Hugh, who originally knew some things," Captain Vardis said. "He was Duke Jon's Attendant. After the Duke's death, he became a Knight, then died at Hand Eddard's Tourney, killed by the Mountain."
"When he died, I was on watch, as was Lord Eddard. At that time, Lord Eddard also began investigating those matters," Ser Barristan Selmy said. "This Child was too eager to make a name for himself, and unprepared, which led to his death. Now that I think about it, it seems he was silenced. Poor Child."
"He didn't poison Lord Arryn. I think Hugh must have taken money from someone, as a Knight's promotion and training cost a lot, and many people wanted to know Lord Jon's movements," Ser Brynden said.
"At that time, Lysa ordered all of us to return to The Eyrie, but this Child refused to leave. I never expected him to die at the Mountain's hands, and he hadn't even married yet," Ser Vardis also sighed.
Perhaps this Attendant was not a single spy, but had taken golden dragons from Lannister, Littlefinger, and Varys, which is why he died the quickest.
In the garden of The Eyrie, the "Petyr Conspiracy" had been clearly exposed. This was a case of treason centered on Littlefinger, the master of coin Petyr, with Lysa as his tool. Petyr was certainly cunning in his schemes, but Gendry and his allies, with their swift and decisive methods, controlled Lysa. Coupled with evidence like sweet sleepflower, and the testimonies of Captain Vardis, Maester Colemon, and others, there was no possibility of her escaping justice.
The true eagle is House Arryn, not a fox masquerading as a tiger like Littlefinger.
"Next up is you, Littlefinger." Gendry admitted that Petyr indeed possessed multiple talents, yet he was also ruthless. Petyr advanced his career through gold, emotion, and poison. This man not only understood finance and business, and was outwardly amiable, but also seemed quite adept at poisons in secret.
However, his career was ultimately fatal. Littlefinger lacked the spirit of a warrior, had no heir, and did not rely on taxi soldiers or kinsmen. He merely deceived orphans and widows in the Vale and bullied the old-fashioned Lords of the Vale, with few who would overturn the table. Yet, power is power. When only violent, iron-blooded individuals remain at the table of Westeros, how long can Littlefinger's game last? He also dared not leave the Vale.
Now that the truth had come to light, the first major event began to unfold: the trial of Lysa and others.
"The power to judge criminals belongs to the King, Your Highness, and you are the King's heir. Lord Jon was also the King's foster father; Lord Eddard and the King both lived in The Eyrie. The friendship of the eagle, wolf, deer, and fish must not be buried, and Lord Jon's blood must not be shed in vain," Ser Vardis said to Gendry, kneeling. "Had you not discovered the truth, we would still be kept in the dark by this wicked woman."
