There are nearly two hundred members of the Dornish envoys, but most of them are guards. There are only a dozen official members accompanying them, and there are only two that Renly cares about.

The leader of the team, Oberyn Martell, is one, and so is the so-called marriage partner, Arianne Martell.

Oberon is a thin man with black hair and black eyes, nicknamed the Red Viper, but when talking to him, there is no sign of any hostility or viciousness in this man. On the contrary, he is humorous and seems to be full of goodwill. It seems that he really is. Came for marriage.

Relatively speaking, Princess Arianne was much more tender. Although she acted a little embarrassed when facing Renly, Dornish women have always been known for their openness, so this embarrassment seemed a bit deliberate.

Of course, Renly couldn't be sure of this without the moment of channeling.

"You danced great."

After a dance at the banquet, Renly began to praise the petite but plump black curly-haired woman in front of him.

"Thank you." The other person replied with a smile. His facial features were three-dimensional and beautiful, but his olive skin made Renly feel a little awkward.

However, this did not prevent him from inviting the Dornish princess to sit down and chat at a wine table in the corner of the banquet hall.

"It's such a long journey from Dorne to King's Landing, isn't it tiring?" He asked as he picked up the wine glass and bottle on the table, and then filled the two of them with wine himself.

"It's very tiring, but also very fulfilling. The scenery here is very beautiful." Princess Arianne, who was dressed in an exotic style, praised her. When she took the wine glass, her soft fingers touched Renly intentionally or unintentionally, but then she He immediately dodged.

This seemed to be teasing, and Renly raised his eyebrows at this, "Then stay here for a while, until this matter is finished?"

"Of course, after the work is done." Princess Arianne replied with a pursed lips and a smile. There was a special sense of purity in her black eyes as they blinked.

It was a pity that Renly, who had maintained the ability to channel the moment, was not fooled by this appearance at all. He glanced sideways at Oberon, who was dancing with his mistress at the ball not far away, and unconsciously squinted his eyes. , turned around and suddenly asked: "What do you think of this marriage?"

The black-haired exotic beauty was stunned when she heard this, and then replied softly: "I will obey your father's arrangements."

"I mean, this marriage itself." Renly asked pointedly: "Do you think it is possible to succeed? Our two families?"

These words made the other party frown, and then said: "Why is it impossible? We are here just for marriage, and we have already expressed our sincerity."

Renly shrugged upon hearing this and said nothing more.

Arianne didn't say anything. She felt that the person in front of her was strange, and she even wondered if this young-looking guy had discovered something.

However, thinking back carefully about everything before, she didn't realize where she was exposed.

Could it be someone else.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but look at Nymeria who was dancing with her uncle in the hall. The person named Renly danced with the uncle's mistress before, but...

Nymeria is a simple fool who doesn't know anything at all. She thought to herself, then looked at her uncle's other mistress, but shook her head again.

Although that person is smart, he also doesn't know anything. Although her uncle dotes on her, he shouldn't tell others this kind of thing casually...

Arianne didn't think much about it. After all, the suspicion in her heart was just a trace. It was just a guess and could not be confirmed. At the same time, the person in front of her also started talking about other topics, and her attention was gradually attracted.

The man named Renly in front of her made a very special impression on Arianne. He was young and handsome, and had a very alluring and mysterious temperament about him. If they had met in the past, Arianne would definitely be attracted to it, but now...listen With the magnetic voice in her ears, she couldn't help but feel sad.

Overall, the conversation was pleasant, because Renly didn't say anything that made her doubtful. Instead, he talked about various things in King's Landing, and also told some interesting jokes, which made the worried Arianne Unconsciously, I felt really happy.

However, when the banquet was over and they returned to their assigned residence, this happiness disappeared.

"What did he say to you?" Uncle Oberon, who came for a secret conversation, asked in a low voice.

"nothing."

Arianne replied, "He's an interesting guy."

Oberon frowned upon hearing this, "Be careful, that Renly is not simple."

"What's wrong?" Arianne asked hurriedly.

Of course she knew that Renly was not a simple man. Even the Dornish people had heard about what happened in the Reach.

"That boy seems gentle and polite, but I just heard that not long ago he personally ordered the hanging of more than a hundred of King's Landing's golden robes, and no one raised any objections."

Oberon said, unconsciously touching his chin, "It seems that Baratheon has good control over this city."

Arianne didn't know much about this, but she also knew that someone who killed more than a hundred lives at every turn couldn't be simple. But when she thought of the graceful young man from before, it was hard for her to imagine that he could be so hot. .

This made Arianne couldn't help but have doubts.

"Will our plan really succeed?"

"Of course, if we can't succeed, why are we here?"

"He doesn't seem like someone who's going to be easily taken advantage of."

"It's really not like that. A friend of mine admires his intelligence very much." Oberon hummed and said, "But when the situation changes, even the smartest person will not have a choice."

Let's hope, Arianne prayed silently. Their plan to come here this time was indeed a bit risky, and she had been feeling very stressed.

...

She didn't sleep well that night, and got up early the next morning to have breakfast with her uncle and his two mistresses in a separate hall. Arianne found that Nymeria showed her interest in this place while eating, and seemed to be quite optimistic about this marriage, which made Arianne secretly laugh.

She felt that this Nymeria, who was already in her thirties, was really simple enough, or childish and not in line with her age, but...

She turned her head to look at Oberyn on the main seat, who was smiling and staring at the chattering Nymeria, his eyes full of love.

Uncle seemed to like her like this, Arianne thought.

She was a little uncomfortable with the breakfast, or it could be said that food outside of Dorne has never been to Arianne's taste, but at least she could eat enough.

After dinner, Renly came to invite them to visit King's Landing. Nymeria was very interested in this, and her uncle Oberyn seemed to want to talk to Renly more to get to know him, so Arianne had to agree.

King's Landing was a chaotic and crowded city. She thought there was nothing to see here, and the smell of the city was really unbearable for her. However, thinking that she would have to live here in the future, Arianne turned around to observe the surroundings with impatience - she had already come out anyway, and she couldn't regret it.

Looking around, she suddenly saw a special scene at a crossroads. A large group of civilians were surrounding a wooden platform at this time, and on the platform, three prisoners with scars all over their bodies were being hanged with purple faces. The way they struggled and their eyes bulged made her feel a little bit sorry.

"What crime did those people commit?" She turned her head to ask Renly beside her.

"Preparing to assassinate the king." The other party replied lightly: "They are the Faceless Men from the east. They sneaked into the Red Keep a while ago and were discovered by us."

As soon as these words came out, Arianne subconsciously thought of something and couldn't help looking at her uncle Oberyn on the other side. She found that his face had turned ugly at this time.

These two days, my state is really not good. I have to rely on my weakness to write. I will try my best to adjust and try to resume the update as soon as possible.
