Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 245 The Night Banquet

On the night when the tournament ended, a grand banquet was held in the camp.After taking off her helmet, Dany could no longer refuse Ser Baelor's invitation.

The camp of the Hightower family was close to the water, and the tent was woven with gold silk. It was the largest and most magnificent building in the entire camp.

However, two iron shields were erected outside the camp door, decorated with the towering white tower of House Hightower and the golden rose on a green background of House Tyrell of Highgarden.

Next to the tent, seven huge bison were slowly turning on the iron spit. They were slaughtered in the early morning, marinated in the morning, and roasted in the afternoon. They have been roasting for several hours now.During this period, the chef has been busy spreading butter and spices until the meat is roasted and crispy, and the fat is overflowing.

The banquet was held outside the tent, and long dining tables and benches were set up on the spacious land by the river. At this moment, the maids were placing wine jugs filled with golden wine, fruit plates full of strawberries, bananas, and apples, and freshly baked vegetables on the table. Loaf Of White Bread.

"Miss Leila, you are really gorgeous tonight." Dickon, who walked over with his waist, said awkwardly.

As the heir of Hornhill, Dickon was naturally also on the banquet invitation list. He came from the other side of the camp, and the two happened to meet.The fall in the morning seemed to have twisted his waist, he supported his waist with one hand, and held a childish little girl with the other.

And Dani is not dressed up gorgeously, she is in a blue velvet dress embroidered with white edges, her long black hair is braided and fixed on the top of her head with a sapphire hairpin, and she doesn't even have a necklace around her neck.

It was the little girl next to Dickon, with a silver satin dress trimmed with squirrel fur, long sleeves with lavender beards, and a delicate silver hairnet inlaid with deep purple gemstones covered in thick gold. Hey, this is a bit like a married woman How do you dress up?

"Is this your wife?" Dany asked hesitantly.

"Hi, Miss Leila, I'm Elano Morton from Maiden Springs." The little girl said shyly with a blushing face.

"Miss Tully, you are beautiful," Dany said with a forced smile.

You are so young, how can big Dickon talk!

Although Dani is the champion of the martial arts tournament and the unprecedented female knight champion, she is an "illegitimate daughter" with no surname and unknown origin, so she is naturally not qualified to sit at the main table in the middle.

The spliced ​​eight-meter-long table is placed horizontally outside the tent door, serving as the main table, and four long tables are placed vertically below it.

Under the leadership of the attendants, Dany separated from the Dickon couple, and the young couple went to the main table, and Dany sat down at the head of the third wooden table.

The archery champion and the team competition champion were sitting on the left and right of her, and at the same table were a group of second sons of nobles with "bad faces".

Uh, she dresses energetically and dresses decently, the reason why she is "declining" is all due to Dani's psychological effect.

Well, immediately after she sat down, a group of young talents squeezed over to say hello.

"Miss Leila, I am the third son of Earl XX, you are so beautiful, it is my honor to sit with you."

"Miss Leila, my father is Sir XX. May I ask which nobleman your father is? Ordinary families cannot cultivate a knight with both talents and looks like you. I am also from XX city, Gordon Xishan (illegitimate son of the Western Region). "

At the beginning, Danni was still baffled, didn't she "scratch her head and pose" like a peacock?She even wore a suit-style coat, not showing much of her flesh. Why are these guys so excited?

Do you only look at the face?

She touched her face and thought narcissistically.

Until Baylor came out from the rear tent with Lelia in full costume

The little girl wore a dark green velvet low-cut dress that matched the color of her eyes. Her brown hair hung loose over her bare shoulders. She wore a slender crystal tiara on her head. She tied an emerald-encrusted webbing around her waist, and a fine lace under her neck. A charming purple gemstone the size of a pigeon egg hangs on the silver chain.

The undisputed star of the night.

This is not the point.

When a group of aristocratic young masters from the first and second tables greeted them and said, "Miss Lelia, I am the eldest son of Earl xx, from xx", Dany suddenly understood: the eldest sons of these noble families want to be with you. Lelia is married, and the second son and illegitimate son of a small noble family around him thinks that she is a good match for them.

After understanding this, she only said one sentence, and three-quarters of the people who came to show her courtship decreased by three quarters.

"Well, to tell you the truth, my father's title is not low, and his territory is not small, but our family was on the wrong side in the battle of the usurper, and the title has long been abolished, and the territory and family property were confiscated by King Robert." Dany Totally honest.

It turned out to be an exiled nobleman.

The people around immediately understood that the second son and the illegitimate son left and scattered, as if the previous attentive words had never been said.

Some people leave and others join in.

A bald man in his 40s looked at Dani lewdly and said, "Miss Leila, I am Earl Klein of Red Lake City, would you be interested in visiting Red Lake with me?

Do you know the history of Red Lake?

Red Lake was formerly known as Blue Lake, because thousands of years ago, Brandon, the son of 'Green Hand' Gals, massacred the Sons of the Forest by the lake, causing the lake to turn red, and the smell of blood is still there today! "

——In any case, 'Leyla' is young and beautiful, and she is also the champion of martial arts, an absolute high-quality "resource".Even if she can't be the wife of the second son of a small nobleman, she can still be the mistress of a married big nobleman!

"Wei Shui" gave birth to "Buddha Flower" (the illegitimate son of Hewan), which is justified.

That's why Dany had courtiers around her.

Knowing the purpose of the nobles who surrounded her, Dani stared blankly at the sky, thinking seriously about one thing: Is it wrong to not allow Dahei and the others to eat people?

Maybe some people are just born to feed dragons.

"When—" There was a clear ringing bell on the main table, and then Baelor Hightower began to toast—blessing the old man for a long life, the prosperity of the old town, the corpses of the ironmen sinking into the sea, and the river before winter Two more big harvests

Finally, he raised his wine glass and shouted: "I wish Wu Yun prosperity, and a long summer forever!"

Nearly a hundred guests on the table and hundreds of knights around the bonfire held horn cups and shouted: "Prosperous martial arts, long summer forever!"

After drinking this glass of wine, the banquet officially began.

Dani breathed a sigh of relief, no one would harass her for the time being, and she didn't have to worry about calling Dahei to come down and eat people.

The bards entered the venue, sat under the torches, and let the music flow into the night.

A juggler threw burning sticks in the air, gnomes in colorful clothes danced on stilts in clown makeup, and a "funny entertainer" sang dirty jokes loudly to the audience's ears. Covering his face and giggling coquettishly, the man laughed loudly and responded with the same "brilliant" dirty joke.

Meanwhile, dish after dish is served, from a thick barley venison soup to a salad of beets, spinach and plums sprinkled with nut chips, and snails poached in honey and garlic.

Sweet rolls, pigeon pie, cinnamon-scented baked apples and lemon cake drizzled with icing sugar followed.

Of course, the whole roasted ox was also brought up.

Dany tasted all the other dishes with relish, except the roasted bison.

Because roast beef is the main course.

For this kind of dish, there are clear regulations in the dining etiquette, what kind of status sits in what seat, and what part of the barbecue is eaten by the guests in what seat.

To put it simply, the roast beef is there, but you can’t just cut the meat with a knife, the tenderest and most delicious parts can only be eaten by the highest-ranking people on site.

During the banquet, all the guests were also chatting with each other, and an old male voice came from the main table: "I don't know what Archbishop Peter thinks of what the sparrow has done recently?"

Dany's heart moved, and she looked sideways, and the question was a doctor wearing a long chain. It happened that she also knew Dr. Perestan, who was watching the jousting.

The old doctor sat in the middle of the main table, and opposite him was an old monk in white robes with a seven-pointed star pattern on his chest.

Archbishop Peter put down his fork, wiped off the grease stains on his lips with a napkin, and then slowly said: "In the current chaotic situation, resuming the gathering of the sons of war and the poor will be of great benefit to the country and the church."

"Maybe, but now there is a fierce conflict between the religious power and the imperial power, and the golden robes in King's Landing are useless, and the gathering of poor people is getting bigger and bigger, and their military strength even exceeds the king's guards.

Dr. Red Nose cast a veiled glance at Earl Garland, who was above him, and immediately changed his words, "Queen Margaery and her cousins ​​were imprisoned on trumped-up charges, and they were arrested on charges of adultery, incest, and murder." Cersei Queen Regent.

Even the queen and the regent were arrested, which is a major event that has never happened in history.I wonder if Bishop Peter can tell me what kind of country the church wants to build? "

"This" Bishop Peter with the red nose immediately turned bitter.

On weekdays, he would lend usury, eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and when he had energy, he would take care of a girl who had lost his way, or seduce a few beautiful little boys in the church.

He never cared about major matters such as establishing a new political system and benefiting the believers of the Seven Kingdoms!

"My lord bishop, the king is the first noble, the nine dukes (Seven Kingdoms, Dragonstone, and Ironman Bay) are the next-level nobles, the marquess and earls are the third-rank nobles, and the knights and property knights are the next-level nobles. The next level of nobility.

The archbishop let the Church of the Seven Gods over the king, which means that the remaining three nobles are all under the church. Do you understand what this means? "The doctor was a little aggressive, and he didn't intend to let the embarrassed old bishop go.

This topic was too serious and sensitive. The nearby knights and nobles stopped talking and turned their attention to it. Even Garland and Baylor put down their wine glasses and looked at Bishop Peter.

"Well, to tell you the truth," the old bishop said with a sigh, his face ashen, "from the beginning, we couldn't control the behavior of the sparrow-we didn't even know his name or what parish he came from.

When the archbishops of King's Landing held a closed-door meeting to elect the archbishop, the big|sparrow was not a candidate at all.

He was not even a bishop before, so how could he be eligible to run for the archbishop?

But the sparrows rushed into the venue holding their axes high and carrying big|big sparrows on their shoulders. Opponents were tried by the sparrows on the spot. What else could the other archbishops do but submit?

The churches of the Poor People's Gathering and the Sons of War have been established. That's right, but only the archbishop who calls himself the 'Big|Sparrow' can control them. Not to mention my lords, I'm afraid too! "

"We're not afraid! That flock of sparrows that are only covered in sackcloth is not enough for me to kill." A knight said angrily.

But someone immediately retorted, "We are all knights who have smeared the holy ointment and sworn an oath before the Seven Gods. How can we attack the church fighters?"

"This is where the problem lies," the old doctor nodded, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, "Before the sparrow, nobles, knights and the church depended on each other, but now the balance is broken."
