Game of Thrones: Digger of the Dreadfort

The girl looked at the maid Melanie beside her and couldn't let go for a while.

Domeric touched her face and said, "Melanie is not an outsider."

"Yes, Lord Domeric."

Sansa opened her eyes and wrapped her white hands around his neck.

…………

Domeric felt a little hungry.

"I'm going to make you some pastries."

Sansa stood up and said very thoughtfully, like an attentive little wife.

Domeric kissed her on the cheek and dried Sansa off.

When the bathroom door was closed, the large bathtub became quiet again.

After isolating all the noise, Domeric was the only master here. Only the maid Melanie quietly added wood and water to the bath.

"Come here." Domeric waved to the new maid.

Melanie pursed her lips, walked up to the lord, bowed slightly, and then stood obediently still.

Domeric looked at her carefully from top to bottom.

Melanie's facial features look softer and her temperament is gentle, giving people the impression of a good wife and mother, only a little younger.

In terms of appearance, Melanie, who was born in a small village in the West, is naturally not as good as noble women like Sansa, Wilfield, and Benita, but she is better than her fair skin and broad mind.

Domeric happens to like this kind of good family flavor.

Melanie felt uncomfortable all over under Domeric's gaze, as if she had been stripped naked.

That familiar sense of shame still made Melanie's pretty face gradually turn red.

Just when the maid was thinking wildly, Domeric pulled her into his arms.

"what!"

Melanie exclaimed in panic, like a frightened quail, lowering her head and not daring to look at anyone.

"Miss Sansa, you will be back soon..."

"Then let's hurry up."

So Melanie started to get busy, squeezing shoulders, beating legs, pouring wine, feeding fruits...

Domeric enjoys the service of his own maid.

…………

Soon, Sansa came over with a plate of steaming pastries.

Cream bread, blueberry cookies, lemon cake, black caviar, the best black tea from the Reach...

Sansa seems to be more interested in cooking than Arya who devotes all her energy to swordsmanship.

Domeric had a piece of lemon cake in his mouth, enjoying the service of his young fiancée.

Melanie, the maid in charge of adding firewood and water, squatted on the ground and pretended that nothing happened.

She didn't dare let Miss Sansa catch the clue...

Chapter 269 Lannisport, the arrival of the Red Viper

While Domeric enjoys his brief moment in Riverrun...

Meanwhile, Lannisport.

Lannisport is a large port on the coast of the Sunset Sea.

To the west of Casterly Rock, where the Riverwalk, Golden Mile, and Shore Drive meet.

This port is one of the most important seaports in the Seven Kingdoms.

In terms of scale, it ranks third among the five major ports. It is much smaller than King's Landing and Old Town, but much larger than Seagull Town and White Harbor.

…………

The sun is shining brightly above our heads, and it's a hot autumn day.

The sun shone on the water and also on the Lannister cavalry in the harbor.

A horse neighed from behind Jaime "Kingslayer" Lannister, coming from the impatient mount of a certain cavalryman lined up on both sides.

Two days ago, they were joking about the Dornishmen.

"How many Dornishmen does it take to shoe a horse? No more, no less, exactly nine. One to work, eight to lift the horse."

James knew that such words should not be mentioned in the ears of Oberon Martell, the "Red Viper".

So I gave them a severe warning...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye hundreds of large ships appeared on the horizon, loaded with more than 2 Dornish soldiers.

A few of these ships come from Dorne, but most come from Lannisport and merchant ships hired from the Free Cities.

The ships landed, and countless Dornish lords, nobles and soldiers swarmed down.

For a moment, flags fluttered and horses raised their legs to stir up dust in the sky.

On the leading banner, a red sun on an orange background is pierced by a spear, representing House Martell of Sunspear.

Lemon on a purple flag, the Dart family.

Brymond's vulture holding a baby in its talons.

The crowned skull of the Manwudi family, a skull with a gold crown on a black background.

The Kogel family of Sandstone City, their flag is three black scorpions on a red background.

The Fire Emblem of Hellgate Castle belongs to the Uller family...

The families represented by the flags have deep roots and vast territories, and are by no means idle.

James was a little surprised...

It seems that this time Dorne sends troops, Martell has roped in almost all Dorne dignitaries to accompany him.

He inexplicably felt that his father Tywin's marriage to Dorne might not be a wise choice.

Because these people are coming with force, they are more like enemies than reinforcements.

"Flag forward!" Jaime ordered, "go meet them."

He rode on horseback, followed closely by the Lannister cavalry, lined up on either side.

When the Dornishmen discovered what they were doing, they galloped away, their banners fluttering in the wind.

The visiting Dornish nobles wore robes of silk or satin with long flowing sleeves, girded with jeweled belts, and armor inlaid with polished copper, shining silver, and soft red gold.

The horses under the crotch are all slender and fast, with slender necks and narrow and graceful heads.

The famous horses born in the Dorne desert may be smaller than horses in the north and valleys, and cannot support full body armor, but it is said that they can run for two days and one night without feeling tired at all.

The leading nobleman rode a charcoal black horse, but his sideburns and tail were fiery red.

Tall, slender and elegant, he seemed to blend in with his mount.

The silk robe fluttered on the shoulders, and the shirt was decorated with layers of copper plates. When running, it seemed like thousands of bright new copper plates were shining.

"Red Viper" Oberyn Martell!

He is as strong as the legend says, and even more ferocious than the legend says.

James couldn't help but think of a saying: "The strong men of Dorne are as thick as the sand, but this one is the best in the world."

"Nice to meet you, gentlemen."

I have to say that in addition to his bad reputation, Jaime Lannister has a very outstanding image. Under his golden hair, there is a smile as sharp as a knife, and he is tall and majestic.

Women will be fascinated by him, and men will be bowed by his grace.

"Prince Oberon, after my father Lord Tywin heard the news of your arrival, he sent me here to extend warm greetings and welcome on his behalf."

"Gentlemen, have you all seen this?

Lord Tywin thinks so much of us that he sent the famous 'Kingslayer' to receive us! "

Prince Oberon has a long and melancholy face, a pair of big eyes as black as kerosene ponds under the thin arched eyebrows, and only a few silver strands in the glossy black hair.

The Dornish people are roughly divided into three major groups:

There are "salt people" who live on the seashore, "sand people" who live in deserts and narrow river valleys, and "stone people" who live in the mountains and passes of the Red Mountains.

Among them, the "Salt Man" is soft and dark, with smooth olive skin and long black hair blowing in the wind.

Prince Oberon, the "Red Viper", is undoubtedly an out-and-out "Salt Man".

"But I don't mind, as long as you pay enough gold as promised!"

Prince Oberon said, raising his right hand and pointing to the back of the team.

The huge Dornish army stretching for miles slowly spread out, with men shouting and horses neighing.

"We people are not here for nothing!" he said.

"Lannister gold is never short of gold," Jaime answered.

"That's true, it is said that there is gold in Lord Tywin's feces!" Prince Oberon laughed.

The Dornish nobles around him started laughing...

Jaime noticed that a dark-haired woman beside Prince Oberon was also leaning forward and back with laughter, her body swaying.

Ellaria Sand.

When he was in Casterly Rock, Jaime had done his homework.

He knew that this woman was the most favored of Prince Oberon's many lovers, and had given birth to four illegitimate daughters for her.

Since Prince Oberon has never married, Ellaria is basically half a prince's wife.

Seemingly catching James's gaze, Oberon introduced: "This is Ellaria, my mistress."
