Euric chuckled. "I think her grace is doing this just because she hopes it will miraculously bring up a reason that means Liliyana won't have to die." He shakes his head. "You're right though... should have done this nice and quietly."

"Well except for the justice part, unfortunately the people would need to see that just to ensure that the sentence was carried out."

Euric nods. "The people always want to see the head..."

Liliyanna smiled at her sister, "I will proudly tell you what I did. I did what you did not have the stomach for. I made the appropriate sacrifice to bring three powerful dragons into this world. I have no shame, and no matter what is done to me, my gift will live on." She looked around the room contemptuously at the gathering. "Because of my actions the Targaryen house will be strong for centuries to come."

Rhaenys looked down coldly at her once beloved twin, the companion of her childhood who she had grown apart from. Why does most everyone I care for leave me?
"Perhaps it will. That doeds not make it right," she said icily. "You were told that we would find another way, that no man would be permitted to die in sacrifice before his crimes were proven in a court of law. I expressly forbade you to murder those three lord. You disobeyed me. Deliberately. You are not my sister any more, Liliyana. You are a criminal, a murderess. It shames me that we share blood. There is no question of letting you live, especially when you remain unrepentant. Do you understand that?"

"There should be no question whether she had repented for every crime ever committed," Rowan whispered to Euric. "Unfortunately the fire is too hot, to be quenched so easily."

"I always knew I would be killed for my actions. You were too weak to make such a small sacrifice for the betterment of the realm. I had to take action. One of us must be strong." Liliyanna replied.

"This is no small sacrifice," Rhaenys told her sister. "I have lost my dear husband and the Vale has risen in rebellion. You call that small? I do not. So, since you condemn yourself by your own words, I have no choice but to do likewise. Liliyana Targaryen, I sentence-"
She stopped, the words dying in her throat and almost choking her. They had to be said yet she did not want to say them. Lily was a traitor, yes, but her own twin. It should not be necessary. Rhaenys sighed and tried again, this time more loudly.
"Lilyana Targaryen, I sentence you to death. You will be taken from here to a place of execution and there you will be burned alive as you burned your three victims. Their pain will be your pain, their death your death. If you are so determined to make sacrifices for the good of the realm I hope that the dragonspawn may quicken by your sacrifice also. May the gods have mercy upon your soul."

Liliyanna shrugged impassively.

Euric was about to reply to Rowan when he heard the sentance. "Death by burning?!" He hissed inredulously.

Conwell reflexively inhaled at hearing the princess would be burned.

Talyn surveyed the room. The burning didn't particularly bother him, as long as the traitor died.

Rowan said nothing but stood to leave the proceedings, after the sentence had been announced, "strange times," he said to Euric as he shuffled towards the door.

Rhaenys heard the gasps and whispers and did her best to ignore them. The last thing she wanted was to give her sister a horrific death but that was what Lily had done to Selwyn and the others. They had suffered and so must Lily. She flicked a hand towards her sister's guards.
"Take her away. She is not to die quite yet."

Oswell watched while she was led out. Her death was fitting in his opinion, if a bit unconventional. but dead was dead. He offered the papers to the Queen for signing after Lily is lead out. "The execution orders your Majesty, you have but to affix your signature ad it will be done. The sooner, the better, my men await me even now." Pent-up excitement shows in Oswell's eyes for the upcoming battles.
