Game of Thrones: From Lord Elden to Young Wolf

Highgarden.

Catelyn and Arya have been here for a while.

The negotiations with the Tyrell family went smoothly. Judging from her appearance and recent performance, the Queen of Thorns, Arlena, is definitely a kind old woman.

She often gave Arya some gifts to show her friendship. After learning that Arya liked to wield swords and guns, she also gave her an exquisite dagger as a gift.

However, Arya always felt that this old lady was a little strange. Every time she talked to her, she seemed to be asking something in a roundabout way.

The most asked questions were about her brother Robb's situation, personality and conduct.

Arya was also very smart. She often told seven points of truth, two points of ambiguity and one point of lies. She thought that since she couldn't figure out the old lady's thoughts, she would just not tell the truth.

Compared with this seemingly kind old lady, Arya preferred to make friends with the second son of the Tyrell family, the "brave" Garlan Tyrell.

Catelyn had more contact with Little Rose, who was her future daughter-in-law and the queen of the kingdom. As a mother, Catelyn must know more about Little Rose.

The overall feeling was okay. Although the little girl was a little scheming, Catelyn didn't care about it. She wanted her son to have more troops and food, and this little flaw was not worth mentioning.

Overall, the two women of the Stark family lived very comfortably here.

Until the Queen of Thorns called the two to the back garden at a dinner party.

The Queen of Thorns held a gorgeous invitation in her hand: "We received a letter from Riverrun. Harrenhal has been built. We are going to Harrenhal to prepare for the wedding."

Catelyn had just received the letter. With the gold looted from the Westerlands and the laborers from the Iron Islands, Harrenhal was repaired very quickly.

It is said that Harrenhal has completely changed its appearance. It is no longer the black and sloppy appearance after being burned by dragon flames, but a piece of white, symbolizing the holy color of snow in the North.

Catelyn was very happy: "My son's fleet will arrive soon, and we can pick up Miss Margaery at that time."

The Queen of Thorns looked a little serious: "In addition, I also received a worrying letter. The bishop of the Starry Church in Oldtown went north together with Sir Baelor Hightower."

Although Robb's wolf guards are all over the continent, it is still difficult to infiltrate some places at present, especially places of religious fanaticism.

The peripheral members of the church may be tempted by money, but those core members basically pursue spiritual realms, and it is difficult to be moved by money alone.

So Robb didn't know everything that happened in the Starry Church.

Fortunately, the Tyrell family has some roots in the River Reach, and they can judge the actions of Oldtown through clues.

Catelin certainly knows the attitude of Oldtown: "What are they going to do?"

"I don't know, but it will definitely not be a good thing."

The Queen of Thorns was also helpless. Her control over the River Reach was far less than the Stark family's control over the North.

Even less than the Tully family's control over the riverlands, after all, before Targaryen promoted the Tully family to the guardian of the riverlands, the Tully family was a very popular noble.

The past of the Tyrell family was really humble.

If the Queen of Thorns was not from the Redwyne family of the Arbor, and there was an exchange of interests involved, the fleet of Earl Redwyne would not be so easy to obey the command of the Tyrell family.

Catelyn comforted: "I will write a letter to His Majesty Robb, and then send some people over, no matter what the situation is, we can suppress it."

Forget about the reckless man like Greatjon, Catelyn thought, otherwise if the chat is not pleasant, Greatjon may kill that bishop in public, he does not believe in the Seven Gods.

The Queen of Thorns nodded and made arrangements: "The Knight of Flowers and Garlan will also go with you, so that the scene can be slightly intimidated."

Both of them responded to the actions of Oldtown and arranged personnel to prepare for possible emergencies.

——

Soon it was the day to welcome Little Rose, and the Mander River was filled with golden flowers and the aroma of wine.

Highgarden is rich in roses, and the Arbor is rich in fine wine. In order to make the scene more grand, Lord Redwyne generously donated barrels of expensive wine for this farewell banquet, which even dogs on the roadside could smell and get drunk.

In the residential buildings of Highgarden, countless girls held flowers in their hands and sprinkled them on Little Rose who was passing by the port of Mander River, sending her blessings.

At the port of Mander River, thousands of knights were on standby to protect the nobles of the Bay of Rivers, big and small, who were attending Little Rose's farewell banquet.

Originally, there was no need to hold such a banquet, but the Queen of Thorns felt that the significance of this marriage was different from the past, and it could be held in a grand manner to highlight the glory of the Tyrell family.

It was the first time for Catelyn and Arya to see such a luxurious scene, with petals flying all over the sky, jesters and clowns performing one after another, exotic dancers dancing on the sidelines, and the aroma of wine almost dyed the Mander River into a river of wine.

Catelyn exclaimed: "It's incredible. The richness of the Riverlands is beyond imagination!"

The Queen of Thorns smiled and raised a gold wine glass inlaid with rubies, indicating to Catelyn: "My granddaughter's dowry will be even richer."

Catelin also smiled: "My son will never forget this friendship."

The banquet went smoothly. The Baylor and the Bishop of the Hightower family seemed very quiet. The Queen of Thorns kept staring at them, but the quieter they were, the more she felt that they were going to do something.

When the banquet came to an end, the bishop stood up and expressed his intention to baptize little Rose Tyrell and send his blessing.

This is a normal operation. The Queen of Thorns wants to stop it, but there is no valid reason.

So he signaled the Knight of Flowers and Garland with his eyes. They understood and prepared to step forward to take the bishop away.

Ding ding ding!

At this moment, Ser Baelor Hightower finally stood up and struck the glass with the silverware in his hand, making a crisp sound.

The minor nobles who were attached to the Hightower family immediately shut up.

Silence has an effect.

In the class, once there is a small area of ​​silence, the entire class will be silent immediately. When the class teacher is not found, there will be a heated discussion again.

At this time, the entire banquet was enveloped in silence.

"Everyone, I don't know if Mrs. Caitlin knows our concerns, but in order to safeguard our rights, I must speak clearly."

At some point, several guards appeared around Ser Baelor Hightower, protecting him.

The Queen of Thorns stood up and wanted to interrupt him: "Today it's me..."

Sir Baile immediately borrowed the donkey from the slope and said: "The rose wedding in Highgarden is indeed a big event. In this case, I will not talk about my trivial matters first. Let the Bishop bless our Highgarden rose first!"

After saying that, the bishop immediately walked straight towards Margaery.

In people's hearts, the weight of the church is still very important, especially the bishop of the Church of the Stars, who will be treated with courtesy even in King's Landing.

The Knight of Flowers and Garland dared to take the bishop away when no one noticed, but they would never dare to drive away this high-status man in full view of the public.

Once it's put on the table, something goes on the scale, and you can't deny its weight.

The bishop smiled and walked to Little Rose: "The last time I saw you, you were a little girl, and now you are of marriageable age. On behalf of the Seven Gods, I would like to offer my blessings to your marriage."

The bishop closed his eyes and prayed silently. Little Rose maintained her fake smile and had a bad feeling in her heart.

Everyone present fell into an eerie silence, and they all understood the filth underneath.

After more than a minute of silence, the bishop finally made a move.

"No!"

The bishop opened his eyes suddenly, with a horrified look on his face: "No, the old woman of the Seven Gods sent me a divine revelation. You will marry a tyrant, and he will bring heavy disaster to the entire continent of Westeros!"

Little Rose's eyes widened, and the anger in her heart instantly filled her chest!

This damn beast!

Actually!

Dare to be at a woman’s wedding!

Speak such curse words!

I’ll fuck you, the Seven God Bishops!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

Wow!

There was a commotion among the little nobles below.

Except for a few fanatics who believe it is true, everyone else knows that saying such words on this occasion means that the Hightower family and the church have completely broken up with the Tyrell family.

Baelor Hightower stood up with a look of disbelief on his face: "My Lord Bishop, have you made a mistake? Highgarden wants to bring all of us in the Reach to serve the King of the North. How can he be a tyrant!"

The bishop looked pious: "God doesn't lie."

"Hey, it turns out that my previous worries were justified. I was a little surprised about Robb's annexation of the territory of a small noble. Now there is a divine prophecy. We must not allow our rights to be deprived of our rights at will. This But the rights given to us by the Seven Gods!”

Ser Baelor Hightower was heartbroken: "Lady Catelyn, we all know that you are the mother of His Majesty Robb. No offense, but you also know the current situation. I need you to make a promise to us on behalf of the King in the North!"

"First, King of the North Robb must guarantee that he will not forcibly confiscate the food and wealth of all our lords, and that everything must respect our own wishes..."

…

"Article 23..."

Ser Baelor Hightower spoke very quickly. Before anyone could react, he had already reached Article 23.

He didn't expect Caitlin to agree, it was just a show, so he memorized it quickly.

Earl Redwin stood up and shouted angrily: "What the hell are you farting! Who are you, and you actually want to order the King of the North to come?"

Baelor Hightower immediately retorted: "Lord Redwyne, I respect you, but you are now Lord Robb's Lord of the Sea, so naturally you don't need to pay attention to our concerns!"

"Yes, of course you spoke to the King of the North."

"Hey, look, all the great nobles in the Reach have been bribed by that Robb. Lord Redwyne of Highgarden wants to sell us for glory and wealth!"

Some minor nobles were waiting for Earl Redwin to speak, and started inciting them according to the previously rehearsed script.

For a time, many neutral little nobles showed hesitant looks on their faces.

Thank you all for your monthly votes. There were so many monthly votes yesterday that I was overwhelmed.
