Chapter 223 - 224 - Conspiracies and Murders (I)
"Change can seem scary and uncertain on the first day, but those feelings fade away and you become more mature to face the challenges ahead." Aenar Targaryen.

The death of Hoster Tully did not cause much of a stir; after all, he was a high-ranking traitor, but the next thing decided at the trial was what really mattered to the nobles.
The title of Lord Paramount of the Trident!
After the bodies of Hoster and Edmure Tully were removed from the room and the area was cleared, the Great Council began again.
"Your Grace." Tytos, Lord of House Blackwood and former kings of the Riverlands, stood up and spoke in a calm tone. "The Riverlands cannot be without a Lord Paramount."
The eyes of many Riverlands lords looked at Tytos with hostility, some even hiding their murderous intent. If there was anyone more suitable to be Lord Paramount, it was House Blackwood.
"I agree, Your Grace." The speaker was a middle-aged man with brown eyes, thick brown hair (even on his back), broad shoulders, and thick arms. He was tall and had a naturally fierce expression.
He was Jonos Bracken, Lord of Stone Hedge and Lord of House Bracken.
But unlike Tytos, who was closer to Aenar, the Lord of Stone Hedge did not even greet Aenar. Another thing was that the man was a staunch hater of House Lannister.
Especially after the Burning of Stone Hedge and the rape of one of his three daughters by the Mountain, the hatred intensified even more.
