[A Song of Ice and Fire] Roga

The morning of King Joffrey's nameday was sunny and breezy.

The carpenters built stands and arenas in the outer courtyard of the castle. The scale was a bit pitifully small, and the crowd who came to watch was scattered and half full.Most of the people present were the city guards and Lannister guards, as well as several nobles: Earl Gales Rosby, Countess Tanda and her two daughters, and the dark-skinned Jara Bashor...

Needless to say, the tournament was a small affair, involving not more than forty persons, including squires and freeriders.

Under the leadership of Robb Stark, the northern army has been stationed at Cailin Bay, facing off against the army of Duke Tywin and Sir James.

Renly's southern army blocked the Rose Road, and the team advanced to Bitterbridge.

The Riverlands were devastated by the Lannister army, and farmland was destroyed and livestock looted.Food from the Reach no longer flows out.The people who rushed to King's Landing from all over the country suffered a severe food shortage, and the bakery even hired free riders to guard the gate.

The streets were full of hungry civilians, and no one cared about a corpse lying on the side of the road bitten by wild dogs.They had crowded the Red Keep for bread the other day, and Joffrey had ordered the archers to shoot arrows, and shot four dead, saying, "Let the people eat dead bodies."

I heard that there are some ragged prophets in the city who are preaching that those who kill regicides will provoke the punishment of the seven gods, and the red comet in the sky is the sign of the gods' wrath.

People in the royal family will probably be eaten raw by the common people when they go out.Luo Jia thought bitterly.

So the King's Name Day Tournament had to be crammed inside the thick walls of the Red Keep.

Joffrey sat under a crimson canopy, one foot on the arm of a carved wooden chair, Rogar, Myrcella, and Tommen sat behind him, and Sandor Clegane stood behind the royal box guard.Joffrey ousted Ser Barristan and let The Hound fill the Kingsguard's vacancy.

"Miss Sansa is here," the Hound announced curtly.

Myrcella nodded to Sansa, as did Rogar.Tommen jumped up eagerly: "Sansa, have you heard, I'm going to fight today, just like my brother."

After hearing this, Sansa looked exactly at Roga, and obviously knew who the "brother" was going to end up.

"I fear for your opponent's life," she said solemnly to Tommen.

"Tomen's opponent today is the Scarecrow." Joffrey stood up.

"Happy Name Day, Your Majesty," Sansa curtsied to him.

Joffrey looked her up and down. "I'm glad you wore the hairnet I gave you today."

Sansa blushed and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your love, and thank you for your praise."

The bloody killing at the Chancellor's Tower finally brought Sansa back to sanity a bit.The girl was bright when she wasn't getting carried away by love.A few days ago, she knelt up and down in the throne room to intercede for her father.Joffrey said it needed to see how her father confessed.

Sansa has been carefully trying to please King Joffrey and Queen Cersei these days.

A horn sounded, and the competition began.

"Ser Horace of House Redwyne in the Arbor," the master of ceremonies called.

Ser Horace, one of the Redwyne Twins, came in from the west on a black steed.

"Ser Simon of House Staunton of Raven's Rest," called the master of ceremonies.

An old knight came in from the east, his mount adorned with a silver griffin, with blue and white stripes.

Rogar stood up, gestured to Joffrey and left, he was next to fight.

Although Sir Simon Staunton was imposing, his strength did not match his appearance.Ser Horace picked him off his horse in a back and forth.

"Prince Rogar of House Baratheon," the master of ceremonies shouted.

Wearing black and gold armor and riding a white horse, Rogar entered the arena from the east, holding a twelve-foot-long spear in his hand.

The master of ceremonies gave an order, and Roja and Horace immediately held the spears/spears, kicked their spurs, and rushed out.The surrounding guards and nobles shouted.

The two of them played against each other in the arena, sawdust splashing, and steel clattering.Horace wobbled on his horse, but did not fall.

They turned their horses around at the end of the arena, dropped their broken guns, and took new ones from their attendants.

The two fought again, and Rogar hit Sir Horace on the shoulder armor with one shot. Horace staggered and fell off the horse.

Tommen and Myrcella shouted hello.

King Joffrey said: "It's such a boring fight."

The next one to fight against Rogar was Sir Baron Swann of Stonehelm City. After they smashed five spears back and forth, Rogar was shot down in a charge and lost the game.

Rogar took off his armor, put on a dress and returned to the royal box.

"It's so boring," Joffrey said irritably.

"Brother, let me see you." Myrcella leaned over worriedly.

Luo Jia smiled at his sister: "I'm fine." The spear/spear/head used in the competition will be broken in one blow, and it will only leave bruises when poked on the body, and it will not be fatal.

In the next match, Sir Balon Swann defeated several attendants and ended up.

Several freeriders began to compete.It didn't play very well.

"These men are no more than flies," Joffrey cried. "If it were not my name-day, I would have put them all to death. The tourney is over, and let them all get out of my sight."

After hearing this, the master of ceremonies bowed respectfully.

Tommen wasn't doing it. "I was going to fight the Scarecrow"

"Let's talk about it another day"

"No, Brother Luo Jia has already played, and I want to play too."

"I don't care what you think"

"Mom said I could fight"

"She said," Myrcella agreed.

"Mama said," Joffrey imitated Tommen, "be less childish"

Myrcella said from the side: "We are children, and we should be childish."

The Hound laughed. "Now you can't argue with her"

Joffrey conceded. "Well, go ahead, come, and get the butt out. Tommen wants to be a fly too."

Rogar made a triumphant gesture to his brother.

Tommen gave a yelp of joy and ran off to dress on his fat feet.

With the help of his attendants, Tommen put on his little silver-red armor, mounted his horse, and held a special long sword, which he held high. "Long live Casterly Rock," he yelled, rushing toward the straw-covered leather warrior.

Rogar applauded him loudly.Sansa also joins in.

Tommen spurred the pony to a gallop, and as he passed the dummy he swung his sword heroically, hitting the dummy knight's shield.The butt spun around, and the cloth-mat mace circled back and struck him in the back of the head, sending Tommen flying from his horse.There was laughter all around, and Joffrey laughed too.

Luo Jia hurriedly ran out of the box and ran towards his younger brother.

He rushed to the field, picked up Tommen, and raised his helm.

"I'll try again," said Tommen firmly.

Luo Jia nodded: "You are so brave."

He stood on the edge of the field, and with Myrcella, who was also running, watched Tommen mount and charge again.

At this time, there was a sound from the city gate tower, the gate was raised, and the gate opened slowly.

"Who told them to open the door?" Joffrey demanded.

A troop of red-cloaked Lannister guards rode across the gate.The one at the front was Tyrion Lannister, riding on a special saddle, followed by a black-haired and black-eyed mercenary.

Rogar, Myrcella and Tommen greeted him happily.
