Chapter 126 When the wedding is going on

Chapter 126 When the wedding is going on

After the coup in King's Landing, Janos Sterling, a butcher-turned-sworn-turned-everyone, could be given the title of duke and Harrenhal by Queen Cersei.

It can be seen that in the era of five kings, such things as high-ranking noble titles are no longer rare.

Arthur had to feel that ginger was still hot.

What Duke Hoster offered was similar to what his son offered, but the terms offered by House Governor Tully sounded much more attractive.

"There is no problem at all. I will let the Western Territory Army in Golden Tooth City receive greetings from my sledgehammer."

After confirming what Duke Tully had ordered, Arthur left the main castle and went to the hall.

Among the troops who fought with him in the western region, in addition to 700 Frey soldiers and more than [-] Stark soldiers, there were also more than a thousand soldiers from the second- and third-line families, who came from more than a dozen Northern families including Seven and Amber. Jing family.

Many of the leaders of these small families despised and even hated the Freys, such as Rona Stow, who led the Seven soldiers.

He had to straighten out the hair on these rebellious Yankees so that the two sides would cooperate wholeheartedly and fight the enemy together.

……

On the evening of the second day, at the Cathedral of Riverrun.

Aristocrats of all sizes from Hejian and the Northern Territory lined up on both sides, waiting for the bride to come in and take oaths with the groom.

Since the marriage was agreed by Mrs. Stark, coupled with his consistent contempt for the Frey family, the Duke of Horst did not attend the wedding oath ceremony because of his serious illness.

Edmure's injuries did not improve, and he could only lie on a stretcher and was carried by four servants to the wedding.

This made the people in the north even more contemptuous of the Frey family.

The bald-headed Aenys Frey walked in slowly leading the bride.

Old Walder didn't come, nor did Duke Hoster, so he could only be the younger one who sent the bride to the groom.

In the queue of Hejian nobles on the left.

"It seems that Lord Edmure is not satisfied with this marriage."

The Earl of Haijiang City next to Arthur said.

Indeed, anyone could see that this Tully looked worried.

"But he can recognize it by pinching his nose," Arthur said.

If Edmure had still married Roslin Frey, he'd still made a profit.

It's just that the Frey family's secrecy work is really good.

Getting married on the Tully family's territory, the landlord's family didn't even guess who the bride was, let alone their guests.

The two walked up to the steps, and Innis, representing Old Walder, lifted the bride's hijab.

Even though the injury was still serious, Edmure still stretched his neck while lying down, looking at the appearance of the bride.

The nobles didn't know what this Frey looked like, but based on Edmure's wide-eyed eyes and slightly smiling expression, he speculated that his new wife must be beautiful enough.

Then it went according to the procedure, the bride was short so that Edmure, who was lying on the stretcher, could put a cloak on her.

This symbolizes the husband's protection of his wife.

Then, the monk wrapped a white belt around Edmure's left hand and the bride's right hand.

In the end, the two swear to the seven-pointed star behind the monk:

"Father, Mother, Warrior..."

During this process, everyone finally saw the appearance of the bride clearly.

The facial features are extremely delicate and beautiful, with a petite chin, a delicate nose, a pair of big brown eyes, and long dark chestnut hair in loose curls that hang down to his waist.

It was Roslin!
In terms of beauty, she can be regarded as the top beauties in Hejian.

"I didn't even know there were such beautiful people in Twin River City." Jason Mallister looked very regretful, "Otherwise, I would propose marriage to my son, he likes beautiful girls the most."

Arthur was also amazed by Edmure's new wife. During the oath taking, he stared at Roslin's beautiful profile for a long time.

Sensing that someone was looking at him, he turned to the right, only to see Sansa standing among the northern nobles with an angry look on her face.

But after he turned around, Miss Stark immediately changed into a solemn and proud expression.

Arthur was also so confused that he didn't have the heart to appreciate other people's wives anymore.

So they waited in good order for the wedding banquet to take place after the oaths were sworn.

A few days ago, if they were on the road, or in Harrenhal, where food was scarce, they didn't have a proper meal.

The wedding of Tully's eldest son was obviously a big event, so the nearby villages that had not been damaged by the war sent a large number of live sheep and geese and other livestock, pickled meat, potatoes, pumpkins and other vegetables dug up this autumn.The nobles can naturally eat the best ingredients, and even the nearby soldiers can eat a dinner with meat.

The swearing-in was over soon, and the couple surrounded the couple to attend the wedding banquet in the hall.

Arthur was about to get closer to Sansa, but he felt someone pulling his sleeve.

He looked down and saw that it was the lame Rosso.

The person asked in a low voice: "I heard that you have a dragon, sir, a real dragon?"

Alduin was still a young dragon, and it was extremely dangerous to fight in the western region among the mountains, so Arthur let Gendry and the young dragon stay in Harrenhal to grow up for a period of time.

Anyway, the system has forced Alduin to recognize him as the master, so it's okay to separate temporarily.

"Yes."

Arthur readily admitted.

Three years after the Targaryen dynasty ruled in 280, dragons and dragon families hold a special meaning to the nobility of Westeros.

Even after the usurper war is won, the four alliances still want to establish Robert, who has the blood of the Long family, as king, which shows the legitimacy of the Long family.

Luo Suo's small eyes suddenly widened, "I heard that you are an invincible general, and now you have the help of a giant dragon..."

The man began to flatter Arthur, and all kinds of nasty words came out one after another.

The "manager" was embarrassed by him, so after a few random promises, he said quickly, "Tell me, what is your purpose?"

There is no closeness for no reason, and the lame Rosso must have a purpose.

Most of the noble knights have already gone to the hall to attend the wedding banquet, and there are not many people left in the temple.

Rosso signaled Arthur to bow his head and listen, "If you can marry a Frey, we will support you in taking back the Iron Throne. This support includes an army of more than [-] men and countless money and food."

Arthur turned his head to look at this person, and said with some amusement, "You are really indomitable. When you were outside King's Landing, your third and sixth brothers had already done the same thing."

"The situation at that time was different from the current situation." Rosso flattered, "The two of them just wanted to marry an ordinary Frey, and all I can give is the support of the entire River Crossing territory."

Arthur knew a little bit about this person's status in Old Walder's heart, but he didn't expect him to dare to make such a promise.

After finishing the swearing-in, the monk and the others had already left.

So only Arthur and Rosso are left here.

"I have plans for my marriage, so I don't need you to worry about it." Arthur flatly refused, and then turned around to have a big meal at the wedding banquet, and sublimate his relationship with Sansa by the way.

Rosso still firmly grasped Arthur's sleeve, "Slow down."

He hopped and limp in front of Arthur, and said in a low voice, "You can do whatever you want, that is, you can have my sisters and nieces as mistresses, as long as you will be like Aegon IV in the future, and take all the things that Frey gave us. We can all accept the legalization of illegitimate children."

It is the Targaryen family that has done the most to legalize illegitimate children.

The most famous one is Aegon IV in Rosso's mouth. Many of his illegitimate children were legalized by him, and then he created a bunch of noble illegitimate children, including Damon Blackfyre, Cold Iron, Blood Raven and others.

"Why are you so annoying!" Arthur looked at Rosso with some disgust, and said in a low voice, "If I ask Roslin to be my mistress, will you agree?"

He just wanted to get rid of the lame man's entanglement, and then go to the hall to cook, so he said such an inconspicuous sentence, intending to gag the man's mouth.

These words are just words, not the real thoughts in his heart.

Rosso was completely silent by this sentence.

There are still people who want to take other people's wives as mistresses.

What is this hobby?
Arthur took the opportunity to loosen his sleeves and walked quickly to the hall.

The lame man couldn't catch up, so he had to look at his back and think silently.

"Aegon IV... married..., that's right." Rosso punched his left palm with his right fist.

He remembered a rumor of Aegon "The Unworthy King."

A certain cousin of Aegon IV, Elana Targaryen, once married an elderly Earl of Plumm, and the groom died strangely on the wedding night.

Although Elana later claimed that the groom married her and the child was the offspring of Earl Plumm, it was rumored that it was Aegon IV who climbed into the marriage bed.

Luo Suo thought to himself, as expected of someone with the blood of the Long family, they even have the same hobbies.

Although it was impossible for Arthur to climb into the marriage bed--after all, this was Riverrun, the stronghold of the Tully family--it was still possible to have Roslin as Arthur's mistress.

"Long Ben is lustful and silvery, if his request is met, maybe..."

Rosso decided to take the bet.

It's just a woman anyway.

The value of Roslin's marriage has come to an end, if she can still be used to connect with the new Dragon King...

At worst, the eldest son of Tully would wear a hat, and the Freys would have lost nothing.

Lame Lothor no longer went to the hall to attend the wedding banquet, but limped to the tower where the Freys lived, planning to do something small to revitalize the family.

……

Arthur walked into the Great Hall of Riverrun, saw an empty seat next to Sansa, and knew that it was reserved for himself, so he hurried over.

"Why did you go?"

Seeing Arthur approaching, Sansa wiped her mouth gracefully, pretending to ask casually.

"Someone from the Frey family stopped me and told me that he wanted to marry me a Frey."

Old Walder had plenty of unmarried daughters and granddaughters, so it wasn't a surprise.

On the empty table next to Sansa, there were two large plates of charcoal-grilled tender lamb chops, which were far larger than the others.

At first glance, it was specifically requested.

Arthur sat down, nodded to Sansa, and then began to eat.

"What are you being polite to me?" After Miss Stark responded, she began to ask about Frey's proposed marriage.

"How did you refuse?"

Arthur swallowed a mouthful of warm mutton, and was about to tell the story, but suddenly realized that there was a trap in it.

What Sansa asked was not what Arthur said, but how he refused.

In other words, she has tacitly agreed that Arthur will not marry other families.

After an emergency turn in his mind, Arthur replied:
"I just said that I already have the object of my heart, and when I am going to find peace in the war, I will come to the door to make a marriage contract, so that they will give up their hearts to marry me."

Sansa was quite satisfied with this answer, and asked insinuatingly: "Then, Sir Arthur, where is your favorite person now?"

Women in love are strange animals, and their need for sweet words is far higher than normal people.

Even if some things are obvious, they have to be confirmed verbally over and over again.

"Beside me, a lady from the North named Sansa."

After Arthur swallowed what was in his mouth, he answered the question clearly.

Miss Stark was very satisfied with this reply, so she stopped entangled in this matter and let Arthur carry out his great business of eating.

Since many people from the north participated in the wedding banquet, the atmosphere was extremely lively. The Greatjon, Robert and others began to fight for wine, and more people began to smash their wine glasses on the table after they were full of wine to cheer for themselves. Those who are optimistic shout.

The Freys were surrounded by the sworn knights of Riverrun headed by Desmond, and Ennis, Hosting, Simon and the others enjoyed their entertainment.

Barrel after barrel of fine wine was continuously sent into the hall, and nimble servants shuttled through the crowd, clearing away the useless plates and bringing new food and jugs.

After Arthur finished another plate of foie gras, someone finally remembered him.

The Greatjon, with two eyes together, staggered to Arthur's side, put his arm around Arthur's shoulder and said, "Brother, among the people in the river, I only recognize you as a real man. Come, have a toast with me." .”

Sansa saw that the scene was chaotic, so she waved her hand to signal Arthur not to drink too much, and then left.

Uncle and new aunt are more suitable for a lady like her.

Greatjon didn't care that Arthur didn't have a wine glass in his hand, so he took his own wine glass and poured it into Arthur's mouth.

"Drink... drink to your heart's content..."

Arthur quickly fended off the Greatjon's glass, then found his own, and touched the man.

As the atmosphere in the northern border had shifted, several northerners immediately surrounded Arthur.

These northerners looked down on the Frey family very much, so they didn't go to the bridal chamber with them, but just competed in drinking in the hall.

It was not easy to refuse, and Arthur also poured down cup after cup.

Men's friendship is often established by wine glasses.

After drinking an unknown number of cups of ale, the northerners around him had already started calling Arthur brothers and sisters.

You know, most of them called Arthur Lord Bracken before.

At some point, Rona Stout came over and stammered, "For your sake, I won't get angry with the Frey family anymore."

After finishing speaking, the person fell to the ground suddenly.

Due to his strong body, Arthur's drinking capacity is not small.

After shaking his head to wake himself up a bit, Arthur found that everyone in the hall had already collapsed.

He was the only one left standing.

The newlyweds have disappeared, and presumably they have already entered the wedding room.

It's just that Edmure doesn't have the ability to take care of himself yet, and the two of them probably haven't consummated their marriage.

Most of the drunken nobles were soldiers leading the army, and some servants who had already lived here carried them to their rooms.

Those who live in the barracks outside the city should be arranged to sleep in a big room in a big room.

Arthur's room was in a tower next to the godswood. Since he arrived very late and the main castle was full, he could only be arranged in a remote place.

It is said to be a godswood forest, but in fact there is only one weirwood tree, and the rest are miscellaneous trees.

There are not many people who believe in the old gods in the riverland, so there are very few servants living around there.

Arthur rinsed his mouth with wine again, and then left the hall, staggering towards his residence.

It is late at night.

Except for a dozen servants around the hall arranging for the drunks, the entire castle was quiet.

The dark clouds covered the stars and the bright moon. In the castle, only the torches inserted on the wall emitted a faint light to dispel the seemingly eternal darkness.

But the sun will rise, and the light will follow, and the darkness will only last for a while.

After walking into the tower and climbing another floor while leaning on the wall, Arthur entered his room.

But what is surprising is that the candles in the room have already been lit, and a figure is sitting at the wooden table.

"Why do you smell so much? Didn't I tell you to drink less?"

It was Sansa's voice.

Arthur squinted his eyes for a while, and then matched the figure with the appearance of Sansa in his memory.

"You also know how you northerners look when they drink. If I don't clink glasses with them, they will think that I look down on them and start making trouble."

Arthur staggered towards the bed, Sansa saw this and got up to support him.

"I can still walk." Bracken grinned at Miss Stark, then took her little hand and rubbed it.

After helping Arthur to the bed, Sansa asked him to lie flat, "Sleep well, and you won't feel bad when you wake up from the wine."

She withdrew her little hand, ready to blow out the candle and leave.

But Arthur sat up again, "Kiss before leaving?"

He still had a grin on his face.

Sansa loves and hates him when he looks like a hooligan.

Although the smell of wine was smoky, she still leaned over and whispered softly after touching the water: "Stop making trouble, go to bed early."

Arthur held her in his arms for a long time, and then let go when Sansa got a little angry.

Then lie down and sleep.

Due to the influence of some ideas of Mrs. Stark, Sansa has always been conservative in certain things.

This made Arthur feel regretful from time to time.

After confirming that her sweetheart had started to sleep, Miss Stark blew out the two candles in the room and left quietly.

A servant could have done it, but Sansa wanted to do it herself.

After she left the tower, a figure flashed out from a completely dark corner and went upstairs silently.

This person limped into Arthur's room, walked to the bed, and whispered, "Master Arthur, we have already made arrangements for you."

After calling three or four times like this, Arthur finally responded.

"Sansa, didn't you leave, why are you back again? Do you want to be with me..."

Rosso leaned into Arthur's ear and said, "It's me, Rosso. The Roslin you asked for is ready."

These words made Bracken slightly sober.

"I don't believe it..." He mumbled, and the drowsiness all over the sky made his head unclear again.

"It's in the Godswood, you come with me, and you can be with Roslin..."

The flame aroused by Sansa began to burn wildly, and Arthur followed Rosso downstairs in a daze, and under his guidance, entered the nearby woods.

Somewhere in the dark, a girl is waiting for Arthur's arrival.
