The next day.

Early in the morning, two four-wheeled carriages parked in the front yard of Runestone City.

Jenny sat in a carriage and waved to Leya to say goodbye: "Forgive me for not waiting until the wedding banquet is over, Leya."

"It's just a wedding banquet, but the Eagle's Nest City is more important."

Leya said solemnly.

"I'm leaving, the guests are still waiting for you to entertain them."

Jenny said goodbye and closed the curtains.

Rhea summoned a team of fifty guards and ordered them to escort Jenny.

Rhaenyra sat in another carriage and stared at Rhaegar riding a white horse outside.

The white horse stepped forward with its front hooves. Rhaegar held the horse's belly between his legs and frowned: "We should ride the dragon. This is so stupid!"

"You should tell Jenny that she refuses to ride the dragon."

Rhaenyra smiled and said, "Don't worry, we are only a few days away from the Eagle's Nest City. We will be there soon."

"Glutton flies at full speed. It only takes one hour from Runestone City to Eagle's Nest City."

Rhaegar was very reluctant.

He doesn't like wasting time on the road.

"Okay, please be accommodating to Jenny, she is a duchess and cannot fall on the dragon's back."

Rhaenyra didn't care.

As a girl, she also loved riding dragons, but her father did not allow her to ride around on dragons.

Every time I go out with my father, I have to take a carriage.

Rhaegar had no choice but to hold the reins and let the white horse move forward.

He really should have asked Jenny to set off early and set off in a carriage with sufficient guards.

Then there is no need for him to escort Jenny back to the Eagle's Nest City.

Jero walked over and said goodbye: "Prince, the roads in the Mingyue Mountains are difficult to travel. You must pay attention to safety."

"rest assured."

Rega nodded and said: "You just got married yesterday, please spend more time with Mrs. Leia."

"I will."

When it comes to his newlywed wife, Jero, a grown man, is a little shy.

He had a good night last night.

After a brief farewell, the two carriages walked out of Runestone City followed by their guards.

Leya, Jero and a group of valley nobles went out to see them off.

After a while, the carriage disappeared from sight.

"Let's go back." Jero suggested.

Leya said unceremoniously: "Drink less. I smelled of alcohol last night. Be careful to drink yourself to death."

"Drinking to death is the destiny of a true man."

Jero shamelessly makes excuses for drinking.

Leya snorted coldly, turned around and left.

The master and guests all went out to say goodbye, and only the attendants were left in the castle.

Castle cellar.

The wooden door of the cellar was closed tightly, but there was a rustling sound coming from inside.

The manservant passing by to get the wine was startled, thinking that a rat had gotten into the cellar, and stepped forward suspiciously.

noon.

The team returning to the Eagle's Nest City moved forward slowly.

The roads in the valley are dangerous and there is only one valley road, or mountain path.

The team started from Runestone City and wanted to return to Eagle's Nest City. There were two ways to go.

One is along the seaside, passing Iron Oak City and the Old Anchorage, and entering from the inside of the Erin Valley.

But this route was near Longbow Hall and was abandoned.

The second is to go to Seagull Town, take a boat along the Crab Cove to the Crossroads Inn, and then enter the Arryn Valley through the Blood Gate on the route of the Valley Avenue.

The road is remote and deserted, and the road is flat.

The team follows this path.

"Rhaega, do you want to take a rest?"

After driving for a long time, Rhaenyra felt uncomfortable with the bumps and wanted to take a rest along the way.

Rhaegar raised his head. The sun was high and the temperature was gradually rising.

"Wait a minute, there is a canyon ahead, pass there and rest."

There are scouts in the team who are familiar with the road, and they will be aware of any bumps on the road.

This place is close to the Mingyue Mountains, so it is inevitable that there will be mountain clans and shadow lynx wandering around, so it is better to find a safe place to rest.

Twenty miles away.

Salsasa...

A group of mountain clans wearing animal skins and holding stone axes and bronze spears shuttled through the mountains and forests.

"The valley bitch is right ahead, hurry up!"

An ugly burly man at the head urged the team and hurried on.

He walked at the front, followed by his subordinates.

Looking around, the mountain forest is crowded with people and densely packed with people.

Old anchorage.

Hundreds of cavalrymen were galloping, and dust was everywhere.

The cavalry were wearing light armor and leather armor, and they were all in a miserable state.

They are all valley cavalry, summoned by Jobert Royce.

A few days ago, the Gaoshan clan that besieged Longbow Hall was defeated.

On the way back, the route was exposed by a traitor, and they were ambushed by the remaining mountain clans, causing heavy losses.

According to the scout information, the Gaoshan clan gathered again and marched towards Runestone City.

The wedding in Fushi City is coming soon.

Not only did more than half of the valley nobles go, but the Duchess of the Eagle's Nest City, Janey Arryn, also went to the banquet.

The seriously injured Yobert gave the order to return to Runestone City at full speed.

Runestone City.

Whoosh——

An arrow flew past and hit the bullseye.

On the school grounds, Leya drew a bow and shot arrows, and there were more nobles beside her who drew bows and competed.

"Haha, I'm thirsty, so I won't shoot anymore."

A certain adult missed the target, threw away his longbow, and called a few friends to return to the castle.

Seeing this, Leya put down her long bow and said, "It's been a long time since the competition, and it's time to prepare lunch!"

The wedding banquet will last for three days, and today is the second day.

In addition to banquets and drinking, there are also activities such as archery and hunting.

When the master spoke, the nobles naturally obeyed and returned to the castle together.

In the hall, the waiters prepared the dishes and brought them to the table.

Men sit in the lobby on the first floor, and women go to the side hall on the second floor.

Leia was on the first floor, sitting at the head of the dining table, discussing hunting with Jero.

Plates of simple but affordable dishes were served to the table, and the attendants opened wine barrels and poured wine into jugs for the nobles in the hall.

"Haha, I know I'm going to punch, so I know how to help pour the wine."

A big man laughed, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

A short male attendant walked up to Rhea, lowered his head, and poured her wine.

"Thanks."

Leya thanked her and waved her hand to the attendant to go down.

He patted the table, stood up, and raised his glass.

This move attracted the attention of everyone present, and everyone fell silent, waiting for her to speak.

Leya took a deep breath and said cheerfully: "My lords, thank you for coming to my wedding, and here's a toast to you!"

"Haha, drink, drink..."

The nobles slapped the table, laughed openly, and drank from their wine glasses.

The life of the nobles was boring, and only banquets and tournaments could arouse their interest.

"Gulu gulu~~"

After drinking glasses of wine, the nobles entered the carnival, and the atmosphere reached a climax.

There were also nobles who didn't drink. They took a few mouthfuls of food and took out the dice to play.

boom--

Suddenly, the castle door closed tightly with a muffled sound.

Some people looked over and saw that nothing happened, so they continued drinking and having fun.

Some people are naturally wary and notice something amiss.

For example, the old earl of Seagull Town, Green Grafson.

Old Green frowned slightly, called his grandson over, and whispered: "I feel a little uncomfortable. Help me back upstairs and call your sister."

He has lived for more than 60 years. He has a cautious personality and never likes excitement.

Joffrey put down his wine glass and obediently helped his grandfather leave the table.

Also leaving together was Lester Waywood, who had tried against Rega.

He fell in love with a girl from the valley and wanted to have a private meeting on the second floor.
