#15 - Chapter 15: Dinner, the beginning of everything (I)
Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Liu Yuan asked, "Uncles, I just saw the king's motorcade, it was so grand! And the full body armor of those knights is so beautiful. Are they the legendary Imperial Guards? Who are they? Does anyone know them?"
One of the soldiers said, "I know a few. The one in the front is Ser Gerold Hightower, the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, nicknamed 'White Bull'. And Ser Oswell Whent, he is our lord's younger brother. Ser Jon Darry is also from the Riverlands."
He was a guard of House Whent, with a proud look on his face.
Another soldier interjected, "There's also Prince Lewyn Martell, he is the brother of our Dornish princess. Especially our Dornish pride, Ser Arthur Dayne, nicknamed 'Sword of the Morning'. He is the most praised member of the Kingsguard and is widely regarded as one of the best knights in the Seven Kingdoms."
This was a soldier from Sunspear.
Another soldier said, "We in the Stormlands also have Ser Barristan Selmy, nicknamed 'Barristan the Bold', his battle achievements are remarkable."
Captain Filch laughed and said, "What's the point of you bragging? They don't even know you. Actually, there are two other members of the Kingsguard, Ser Gwayne Gaunt, who died in the Defiance of Duskendale a few years ago. And Ser Harlan Grandison, who died of illness in King's Landing not long ago."
Liu Yuan asked, "So, the Kingsguard are the most powerful warriors in Westeros?"
Captain Filch said, "Perhaps! Usually, the Kingsguard are appointed from the most loyal and noble knights. Others can only join with the recommendation of a Kingsguard member. Westeros is so big, perhaps in the Seven Kingdoms..."
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves interrupted him. Five cavalrymen rushed out of the castle towards the gate. Their eye-catching armor and the golden lion emblem on their chests were very conspicuous. A soldier said, "It's the Lannisters, they came with the king's motorcade this afternoon."
A cavalryman rode up to them and said, "The new Kingsguard knight, Ser Jaime Lannister, is ordered by the King to return to King's Landing to protect the Queen and the little prince. Open the city gate immediately!"
Captain Filch took the warrant and looked at it carefully. He then turned his gaze to the tower and saw the flag signaling agreement. He immediately said to the soldiers behind him, "Open the city gate!" Then he respectfully returned the warrant to the cavalryman.
Among the others, there was a young knight in gorgeous armor. He had green eyes and golden hair, typical Lannister family features. But at the moment, his face was quite ugly. He muttered, "Shame! Shame! I'm so stupid, this devil. He wants to use me to humiliate Father. I'm so stupid!"
Only Liu Yuan's good hearing could clearly hear his whisper.
Liu Yuan kept staring at the young knight, mainly because the name Jaime Lannister was so familiar. He can be said to be an important character throughout the entire Game of Thrones plot, a blond, blue-eyed handsome guy. But looking at his immature face, he is now only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan felt relieved. It seems that there is still some time before the plot begins, and he still has time to develop secretly.
The castle gate opened a gap wide enough for a horse to pass through. Jaime Lannister lightly tapped his horse's belly and rushed out first, his entourage followed him out of Harrenhal.
Liu Yuan watched their departing backs until the gate closed, blocking his view. Liu Yuan then found other excuses to extract information from other soldiers, and soon obtained a lot of useful news. For example, the current Warden of the East, Duke Jon Arryn, although he has no children, adopted Eddard Stark, the second son of the Duke of Winterfell, and Robert Baratheon, the new Duke of Storm's End, as foster sons many years ago.
There are already rumors that Duke Rickard Stark has agreed to marry into House Tully, allowing his eldest son Brandon to marry Catelyn Tully. He also betrothed his youngest daughter Lyanna to Robert Baratheon, the new Duke of Storm's End. It is said that Duke Tywin of the Westerlands originally wanted Jaime Lannister to marry Lysa Tully, the younger daughter of Duke Hoster Tully. But in the end, it didn't happen. There are rumors that it was because Lysa was pregnant with a bastard.
There are also gossips from the Red Keep that wildfire can particularly arouse King Aerys's desires. Every time he burns a prisoner to death with wildfire, he will sleep with the Queen, and Queen Rhaella suffers from Aerys's abuse...
The time for gossip always passes quickly, and the sunset is gradually setting in the west. After saying goodbye to everyone, Liu Yuan returned to the Weeping Tower. Today can be described as eating melons to the fullest. He really didn't know that the Westeros aristocratic circle was so chaotic.
If he guessed correctly, this Mad King Aerys II is probably the last king of the Targaryen family. It may not be long before the Wolf, Eagle, Stag, and Fish families will raise the flag of rebellion. From his understanding, the Celtigar family is a staunch royalist party and will definitely side with the Targaryen royal family. Standing on the side destined to fail, what good end can there be?
Liu Yuan rubbed his head, what should he do if the war affected Crab Island? The most unlucky people during the war are the servants working in the castle, usually with no good end.
Especially children, if they are lucky, they will be kicked away. More often, the enemy will just add a sword, this era is not short of perverts, such as the Mountain is absolutely impossible for him to deal with. The worst thing is that Crab Island is so small, there is no place to hide. Why not slip away during the tournament! If it doesn't work, find a way to get to the Eastern Continent.
Just as he was thinking wildly, the door was pushed open. Liu Yuan was very familiar with the person who came, it was Roy, the steward of the Celtigar family. He came in and saw Liu Yuan and said, "Little Garron, you're back. There's a task for you. Harrenhal is holding a grand banquet tonight to welcome the arrival of the King, inviting all the nobles and well-known knights. There are not enough people in the castle, and you need to be a wine-serving servant. I will take you to the chief steward later, and you must listen to his arrangements. Remember that the people attending today are all big shots, don't make any problems, otherwise you will be severely punished."
Liu Yuan pretended to be humble and said, "Don't worry! Steward Roy, I will study hard."
Liu Yuan followed Roy to the Widow's Tower, where there were already more than thirty children around the age of ten, both boys and girls. A fat woman was urging them to put on well-fitting clothes, which were clean servant clothes of similar style. The old woman was still talking endlessly about precautions: "You all listen to me clearly, you must not look directly into the eyes of the nobles at any time. If they feel your offense, you deserve to be beaten to death. And the trays and wine pots must be held steady..."
