Chapter 312 Crazy Marriage

"It's a pity that my heart already belongs to me now. I once made an unswerving vow with my fiancée, agreeing that we will only have each other in this life."

After hearing these words, the Queen of Thorns' face was as gloomy as water at the moment.The client who was rejected by Gao Yuan smiled as if nothing happened. Maybe Margaery Tyrell was just pretending to be strong at this time: "I understand what you mean, Mr. Gao Yuan!"

"Are you okay, Miss Margery?" Gao Yuan asked with concern.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Gaoting Rose's voice became a little hoarse, and she laughed sadly, "I'm just envious of your fiancée, who can have such an excellent man like you, my lord, who has always loved her so much. Looking at her, I think that girl must be very happy!"

Gao Yuan clearly sensed that something was wrong with the girl's state. How could Gao Yuan, who had been there before, not know that the other party was talking duplicity right now.

It's just that at this moment, Gao Yuan doesn't know how to comfort the other party.It is impossible for him to agree to the other party's request for marriage just because his heart softens for a moment.This may bring some comfort to the girl, but it is nothing more than a generous charity based on compassion.

A political marriage without any emotional basis will not bring happiness to the beautiful girl in front of me, but will make both parties fall into an endless cycle of pain in the future.

The combination between King Robert and Cersei Lannister is the most typical example. Although the two appear to be very harmonious on the surface, secretly they have already hated each other to the bone.

So much so that the conflict between the latter two developed to the point of almost irreconcilability.At that time, both of them had already abandoned the strange stares of outsiders, and even hurt each other in public without regard for face, just to fight for that moment of anger.

Of course, not all political marriages are as chaotic as the royal family, and there are also examples of happiness and love like Caitlin and Ed Stark.It's just that the situation like the Stark couple is just an exception after all. Most couples who are combined due to political factors have a life full of chicken feathers like the royal family.

Gao Yuan can actually understand Margaret's mood at the moment. Anyone who is ruthlessly rejected by the man he has high hopes for twice in a row will probably be hit hard by it.

"Lord Gaoyuan, I understand that you have concerns about this. The reason why you are not sure about agreeing to marry our Tyrell family is because you think that the Tyrell family is now on Renly's side." The Queen of Thorns trembled. Standing up tall, "You are afraid that you will offend his brother Stannis, and you are afraid that you will bear the name of treachery."

"Before that, Lord Gao Yuan, you have promised the marriage between the Arryn family and Stannis." Madam Olenna's tone gradually became aggressive, "I know that you have sent Stannis' only daughter to the Furnishing Stonetown, Stannis' daughter will be by Robert Arryn's betrothed at his side."

"In return, Stannis gave you an entire fleet of ships as a dowry."

"You don't have to rush to deny it!"

"Although the lords of the valley kept their mouths shut about this, Stannis' people had already spread the news throughout the Seven Kingdoms, and it also reached the ears of Renly Baratheon." Old Rose said, "This I am afraid that is exactly what Lord Stannis wants to see, and he has quietly pulled you aboard his ship."

"The so-called neutrality and having a marriage contract are just your excuses!"

"This is not true. That's right, the Aylin family is indeed married to Dragonstone Island." Gao Yuan sat back on his seat again, "But what does this mean?"

"He married the Aylin family on Dragonstone Island, so what does it have to do with me, Gao Yuan?" Gao Yuan spread his hands, "Madam, please don't forget that I am the real ruler of the Eastern Territory right now."

"Before the heir of House Arryn comes of age, whether it is as the guardian of the Eastland personally appointed by the previous king, or in the name of the Duke of the Eagle's Nest City, my rule over the valley is beyond reproach."

"If Lord Stannis thinks that through this marriage relationship, he can freely manipulate and influence my decision-making, then he is very wrong." Gao Yuan's words seemed to mean something.

"Furthermore, the Eastern Realm has never asked for a marriage with Dragonstone. If Stannis is dissatisfied with this marriage, he can send someone to cancel the marriage contract that has been made at any time."

"I have never been afraid that I will be accused of treachery because of this, because I have never promised Stannis to help him win the Iron Throne in King's Landing." Gao Yuan said domineeringly, "I have never been afraid I would offend Stannis Baratheon for it."

"In fact, I have never been afraid of anyone, whether it was facing the dragon in the past, or the Lannister army facing Duke Tywin now, or the so-called kings like Stannis and Renly in the future, None of them are enough to scare me."

"Except for the cold god in the extreme northern ice place." Gao Yuan added secretly in his heart.It has never been a contradiction to be brave enough to face an invincible opponent and to be afraid of a strong enemy.Only when you are afraid of your enemy can you develop enough courage to confront and deal with him.

"Master Gao Yuan, you keep saying that you are not afraid of offending Stannis Baratheon." The corner of the Queen of Thorns' lips twitched, "Then how can you prove your words?"

"Boring proof, ma'am, your request is as boring as asking me to prove that I am myself." Gao Yuan poured himself a cup of hot milk, "The only way to prove what I said is to let me lead the East Territory The host has joined Renly's side to conquer his brother."

"All I can give is that answer, which is absolutely impossible for me to promise."

"About this matter, Mr. Gao Yuan, you have emphasized many times before, and we will naturally not make it difficult for you." The Queen of Thorns showed a proud smile on her face, "However, we still have other ways to prove it to you right now. !"

"How do you want me to prove it?" As soon as he asked this question, Gao Yuan regretted it a little. He always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with it.

Mrs. Olenna finally said apart from her real purpose: "Dissolve the so-called marriage contract in your mouth, marry my precious granddaughter Margaery Tyrell, and publicly announce that the Gaoyuan family of Eagle's Nest City and Tyrell of Highgarden The family is married."

"This is absolutely impossible!" Gao Yuan got up angrily when he heard the words, "Don't think that I will break the engagement and marry Miss Margaery from Tyrell's family."

"Mrs. Olenna, don't mention this matter again!" Gao Yuan pushed away Ser Garland Tyrell who was standing in front of him, came to the door of the study and opened the door, "Otherwise, I will I had to order Ser Jon to see him off."

Sir Jon outside the door heard the sound and came in, followed by several members of the guards around Gao Yuan.The guards in full armor put their right hands on the long swords at their waists, as if they would drive these "rude" guests out of the castle as long as Gao Yuan gave an order.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Not only did Sir Garland and Margaery fail to react, but even Mrs. Olenna did not expect Gao Yuan's reaction to be so great.

From this point of view, this Lord Gao Yuan really loves his fiancée deeply.

However, the Queen of Thorns' reaction speed is quite amazing.After a short period of stupefaction, Mrs. Olenna quickly came up with a compromise plan, but she still did not give up her plan to let Gao Yuan marry Margaery: "Master Gao Yuan, may I ask which god you believe in?" A god?"

For a while, Gao Yuan was also confused by Mrs. Olenna's question. Could it be that this marriage has something to do with which gods he believes in?

Unable to understand the intention of Mrs. Olenna's question, Gao Yuan had no choice but to answer her question honestly: "I have never dedicated my faith to any of the gods, but I respect the believers of those gods." and the customs of their religion."

"In this way, the teachings and creeds of the gods can no longer bind you, Mr. Gao Yuan!" A smile appeared on the Queen of Thorns' face again.

Mrs. Olenna limped towards Gao Yuan. Sir Jon originally wanted to prevent the old woman from approaching his lord, but Gao Yuan waved his hand back: "I don't understand what you mean , Madame Olenna!"

Mrs. Olenna looked up and explained to him: "The noble families of the Seven Kingdoms often arrange marriage contracts, but they can also be broken later. In theory, if one of the parties to the marriage contract refuses to read the marriage oath, then in the teachings of the Seven Gods , this paper marriage contract can be annulled at any time, and cannot be declared as married"

"It means that the marriage relationship will not be recognized by the gods before the parties to the marriage contract finish reading the wedding vows at the wedding."

"What I mean by this is not that I want you, Mr. Gao Yuan, to completely cancel the existing engagement in the past." Halfway through the words, the Queen of Thorns turned to look at Sir Jon and the others beside Gao Yuan.

"Sir Jon, take the guards and brothers out first!" Gao Yuan frowned at the moment, "You are not allowed to let anyone in without my order. And Miss Mia, please wait for me outside the study order."

Sir Jon and the others took the order and led them out of the room immediately, while Mia Stone looked suspiciously at the three grandparents and grandchildren from Highgarden before leaving.

Only after Gao Yuan and the other four were left in the room did Mrs. Olenna speak again: "I just want to tell Mrs. Gao Yuan that before you fulfill your marriage contract, that is, before you read the marriage vows with the bride at the wedding be free."

"You can marry anyone at any time, and you can break your marriage contract with anyone at any time."

"You mean to ask me to hold a fake wedding with Miss Margery, to create the illusion that our two families have already married?" Gao Yuan was shocked by the crazy idea of ​​the Queen of Thorns, "This is simply too much." It's been crazy!"

"This is deceiving the gods!"

The Queen of Thorns shook her head: "Since you have never dedicated your faith to any gods, the teachings and creeds of the gods cannot bind you."

"This method may be able to hide some people temporarily, but sooner or later there will be a time when they will be exposed." Gao Yuan retorted, "If the bride is always a virgin, the princes under my command will be behind me and treat me and us. There are many discussions about marriage."

"My lord Gao Yuan, don't you understand by now?" Ser Garland Tyrell stood up and said bitterly, "My sister Margaery has long admired you, and now she only hopes to be able to Appear in front of the world as your wife, for which she will sacrifice her precious virginity to you."

"You and Margaery can still be husband and wife, and she can even give birth to an heir for your family." The Queen of Thorns added, "But the Tyrell family will also challenge themselves to this false marriage." The request, that is, the child born to you and Margaret must be the first heir of your Duke Gao Yuan's family."

"Miss Margaery Tyrell, is that what you mean?" Gao Yuan ignored Mrs. Olenna, but turned to the sixteen-year-old girl for advice.

Regardless of whether he finally agrees or not, Gao Yuan has to figure out the girl's true wishes.Whenever the beautiful girl in front of him shows a little bit of reluctance, or shows some hesitation, Gao Yuan will immediately reject these crazy ideas put forward by the other's grandmother and brother.

"I have frankly expressed my heart to you before, Mr. Gao Yuan!" After a short shyness, the girl boldly raised her head to look at Gao Yuan, her brown eyes were filled with tenderness and grievance, " Those are indeed the truest thoughts in my heart, it's just that you don't want to believe it."

"If I agree to this marriage, the child born to me and you, Miss Margaery, will be the illegitimate child of the valley from the day of birth!" Gao Yuan reminded, "Miss Margaery Tyrell, you Better to be mentally prepared for that."

"No one will know that our child is an illegitimate child, Mr. Gao Yuan!" Margaret showed a sweet smile on her face, "And as long as you become the king of the Seven Kingdoms, you can rule that our child is the heir with the right to inherit the family .”

Gao Yuan frowned even tighter: "What if I don't become the supreme king as you wish?

"Whether you can become king in the end, I believe it doesn't matter!"

"It's important that we make sure that no one knows that the child we're giving birth to is illegitimate," Rose Highgarden emphasized, "and that no one thinks our marriage is a sham, because apart from what we read together at the wedding Everything in this marriage of ours is true except for the vows we made."

"Unless you, I take the initiative to tell other people about this!"
