A Western fantasy journey that began with Game of Thrones

The banquet was very lively, with jugglers and fat jesters taking turns performing magic, acrobatics and other entertainment projects, and singers and minstrels singing -

The Reach is the palace of art from all over the Seven Kingdoms, and Highgarden Castle is the center of this palace. The Tyrell family maintains a large number of bards. They usually play and sing music quietly throughout the castle, and sometimes will be gathered together to play together.

It's just that even though there are some of the top players from the Seven Kingdoms among these people, and the music they play and sing is generally beautiful and moving, when an ancient tune praising the Tyrell family plays leisurely, all their previous performances are still overshadowed.

The song is called "The Golden Rose", and most bards from all over the Seven Kingdoms can play and sing it, because the bard's favorite place is the Reach, and this song praises the Tyrell family, the lord of the Reach. song.

Obviously, this is not a new song. The lyrics describing a rose growing vigorously from a bud and blooming with gorgeous charm also made many nobles participating in the banquet very familiar. However, when the steady and magnetic voice When he sang this ballad, he still attracted the attention of everyone in the banquet hall.

The reason is not only that the singer has a noble status, but more importantly, the singing that echoes in the hall sounds very moving!

It’s not just that the voice is beautiful, but there is a special charm in the singing that makes people’s souls drift along with the song. With the melodious singing, people’s emotions become more and more exciting, and they feel as if they are seeing a naked flower in the bush. A humble rose suddenly blooms at a certain moment, dwarfing all other flowers.

The white and gorgeous hall was originally quite lively, but as the song sounded, all the noise disappeared directly. Everyone listened quietly, with more or less intoxicated expressions on their faces.

It wasn't until the short song ended that they all broke away from that unique state, either sighing in despair, or still immersed in the aftertaste of the song with faces full of joy, or looking at the figure in the center of the hall holding the wooden harp and bowing. The tall and straight figure has fiery eyes, or clapped his hands and cheered enthusiastically to express his love.

"I lost the bet last time, otherwise I would have heard Renly sing the song The Dornish Wife." Under the thunderous applause in the hall, the brown-haired boy Garland in the crowd said to his companions with regret: "Just imagining it is so exciting."

"What does a Dornish man's wife mean? I would rather he sing the song William's wife is wet." Mark, the monkey farmer, sighed: "It's just that he definitely won't be able to sing it. Renly is too serious."

"He said he was leaving tomorrow, let's get him drunk tonight."

Garland suggested in a low voice: "Get him drunk, I don't believe he can still be serious!"

"Isn't this a bit bad?" Mark hesitated after hearing this.

"What's wrong? Listen to me. Let's do this..."

…

"Lord Renly sang so beautifully!"

The two guys over there are up to no good, and a few little girls here are also chatting together.

"I wish I could sing such a beautiful voice like an adult."

"Come on, Yalan, sooner or later you will be able to do it!"

"I also hope this will be the case, but it's a pity that the Lord is leaving and I can't ask him for advice anymore... Oh, why is he leaving?"

"I do not know."

"Let's go and tell him to leave later!"

"It's better not to give it up. Lord Renly must be busy with something..."

…

The little girls chatted innocently, but after talking for a long time, they found that the usually most active person had his mouth pursed and looked sulky, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

"Margery, why don't you speak?" A chubby little girl blinked and asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"I don't want to discuss that cheapskate's song!" The other party replied in a sullen voice: "He promised to sing a song before I left, but he ended up singing it at the banquet. What the heck!"

"Why can't we sing at the banquet?" The fat girl looked confused when she heard this, and the other two girls here were also confused by this.

"I promised to give you a gift, but I gave this gift to everyone. Will you be happy?"

The girls understood what was said. After looking at each other, one of them curled her lips and said, "You are so stingy, Margaery."

"Yes, you actually dislike us for sharing your gift?"

"We haven't shared many gifts with you before, right?"

"Aren't we friends, Margery?"

"How can this be considered stingy? And do you even understand?" The little girl felt even more depressed after being criticized by her peers.

…

The banquet held in the High Court was not just about sitting still and eating. At this time, the noble men and women in the white hall were moving freely. After Renly finished playing a song, a dwarf circus occupied the center of the vast hall and started performing vigorously, and most people's eyes were attracted to it.

Some people came up to talk to Renly, many of whom were ladies of the river, but when the silver-haired Duchess appeared, these "unscrupulous" guys resigned and left one by one.

"Are you sure you don't need a maester to follow you on the way?" Time has added some wrinkles to the face of Lady Ellery, who is wearing a gorgeous dress, but her rigorous character has not changed at all. Not long ago, when Renly told her that she would leave tomorrow, she He even took the initiative to start taking care of it.

"The road is too far. If you get sick, it's not easy to find a bachelor to treat you on the road."

"I'll pay more attention to this." Renly replied softly.

He respected the Duchess in front of him very much, because his adoptive mother was more like this one than the cunning old lady.

Etiquette teaching, food, clothing, housing and transportation, ten years of life were all handled by Lady Ellery, and her attitude towards Renly was the same as her sons, without any faults to pick out.

"There will be many castles along the way. If you really get sick, you can stop and get treatment nearby."

"That's not very convenient, maybe it's too late."

"It's okay, I know my limits." Renly replied, and the other party sighed: "Okay, since you insist."

Then Lady Ellery gave many more instructions, including some matters that need to be paid attention to on the road, including the arrangement of the entourage, including clothing and food. Then her eldest son Willas also found Renly. In comparison, he didn't say so much, just claiming that he would use ravens to keep in touch with Renly, and the Silver Hand Knights would not disband.

In fact, Renly and Willas have the best relationship in Highgarden, but neither of them thinks this separation is that serious, so although they feel sad, they will not be too sentimental.

Afterwards, the Knights of Highgarden also came up to talk with him, including the lively Garlan, the humorous Mark, the rather dull Zenford, and the reserve member of the Knights, Willas' youngest brother Loras.

Compared to his two elder brothers, Loras, the little gay who has a close relationship with "Renly" in his memory, is really young. His appearance in his teens makes it impossible for him to mix into the circle of adults for the time being, but he admires Renly very much and is very active in joining the circle of "brothers".

Unfortunately, when the birthday dinner ended, the Knights of the Knights directly excluded him from the farewell banquet held for Renly. The reason was very simple, he was young and was not allowed to drink.

The long banquet lasted until the second half of the night, and one cup of wine after another was poured into his stomach. Relying on his extraordinary physique, Renly's alcohol tolerance was bottomless. He had basically never been drunk since he was a child.

Relatively speaking, the others were not so lucky. They drank so much that they were dizzy and lost their way. When Renly left Highgarden the next day, those people had not even gotten up yet, which somewhat dispelled some of the sadness of parting.

After bidding farewell to those familiar faces in Highgarden, the team of dozens of people set off on the road. The continuous sound of horse hooves and wheels was endless. The white castle behind them slowly shrank, and finally seemed as far away as the stars in the sky. The road ahead gradually widened and became more and more complicated as they moved forward.

But on the third day and half of the night when the team set off, when they set up camp in the wild, an unexpected person quietly visited them -

Maegor Targaryen.
