Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 73: The Lance Tournament Ends
Valar hurried to the railing, and the winners of the two venues were decided almost at the same time. Count Artis Royce was knocked off his horse by the Silver Crown Knight, and then he knocked the sword of the mysterious knight away with two swords in a foot fight. The Silver Crown Knight was so panicked that he quickly took off his helmet, revealing his long silver hair and handsome face, and raised his hand to admit defeat.

The duel between the White Knights and the Blood Oath Brothers was even more bloody. Aslan was like an angry little lion. After knocking down Christon with a heavy sword, he took advantage of the dizziness of the White Knight captain and used his shield to chop the captain's head several times, knocking the White Knight captain unconscious.

Valar clearly saw Prince Daemon, who had just defeated Ser Erik, burst into laughter that could be heard by the whole audience, and Queen Alicent's face in the audience looked as black as if she could squeeze out water. Then there was his own black face, he made money, but almost all the money he made was lost.

At least the principal is left. If I had known, I would not have pressured my younger brother.

"Lord Artis is a warrior." King Viserys smiled as he took a glass of sweet wine from the waiter's tray and said to Duchess Jeyne, "The Vale is full of talented people."

"Your Majesty, Count Artis is the nephew of Lady Rhea." Duchess Jenny looked at Count Artis who rode his horse towards Prince Damon. "He wants to bring justice to Lady Rhea."

Viserys drank the sweet wine in the glass with some embarrassment. He naturally knew what the case that Jeyne Arryn mentioned was. When he was young, Daemon had married Lady Rhea Royce, the heiress of Runestone City, but Daemon hated his wife so much that he even called her a "bronze whore". During his exile, the prince would rather fight in the Stepstones than return to Runestone City to fulfill his husbandly duties.

Of course, Lady Rhea was also a remarkable woman, she also looked down on Daemon and sneered at this failed marriage, unfortunately, Lady Rhea accidentally fell off her horse during a hunting trip and injured her head, after lying in bed for nine days in pain, she barely got up, but fell again, this time no matter what the maester did, she could not save her life.

After learning that his legal wife had passed away, Daemon immediately flew back to Runestone City and demanded to inherit the castle of the "Bronze Bitch". The angry Artis Royce and the elderly Gunthor Royce expelled the profligate prince, and Duchess Jenny bluntly said: "You are not welcome in the valley."

So this time, Duchess Jenny took out a bag of gold without hesitation and put it in the hands of the person who arranged the gambling: "Bet on Attis to win."

"I'll follow suit." Alison took out another bag of gold with a dark face and threw it into the plate regardless of the king's look. All of a sudden, all the nobles on the field placed their bets, except for the hosts.

Because the hosts were busy packing up the kids.

"Rey, tell me." Valar stopped behind Rey, who was coming up covered in dust, with a smile on his face, and made him face Longzel, who was also smiling.

"This..." Rey thought quickly, "We can't let the Valyrian steel sword that we took out from such a dangerous place be handed over to outsiders, brother."

"That's not a reason, little brother. Do you think that with Hoffa and Aslan here, the sword will leak out so easily?" Longzel was still smiling, but his face was already in front of his brother: "Explain why you went on stage without telling us. Don't worry, I understand your urge to vent."

"Ugh." Lei Yi shrank his neck. "Sorry, brother. I won't dare to do it next time."

"Your attitude of admitting your mistakes is fine." Longzel pulled his brother's head over and whispered, "The bloodline of the family is very precious. Ray, you are a dragon knight. A dragon knight without a dragon is fragile. Have you forgotten how the dragon kings who were killed by the Free Trade City-State died a century ago?"

"I haven't forgotten." Rey lowered his head and answered in a low voice: "Hagen Thraxon, the dragon king of Lys, had his throat cut by a prostitute at a banquet. His dragon was outside the palace when he was killed. After losing its master, the dragon flew around aimlessly and was eventually forced into the sea by a scorpion crossbow and drowned. Dragon King Rhaegar was killed by a spear from his defeated opponent in the arena where he had won sixty consecutive victories. His young and agile dragon was shot to death by arrows after losing its master. After the ancestor disappeared, Dragon King Varena, who stayed in Qohor, was killed by poisoned wine, and her dragon also died at the hands of well-trained elite soldiers."

"You must ensure your safety before doing this kind of thing in the future. Do you understand?" Long Zeer whispered, "I can ensure my safety this time, but what about next time?"

"I understand brother."

"Then how should I punish you, my little brother?"

"I'll go to the dragon's lair and clean up for a month," Rei said, his head lowered.

"That's more like it." Longzel ruffled his brother's hair, then stood up and watched Princess Rhaenys slowly approaching with a wine glass in hand.

"Cousin, Rey is very brave." Rhaenys leaned on the railing with a glass in hand. "I haven't seen such a wonderful match in a long time." She looked at Rey with a smile. "Both Rey and Aemond deserve praise for being able to do this at their age." She looked at Artis who was fighting Daemon off the field. "It's a pity that although our young Bronze Earl is brave, he has never experienced the battlefield after all. A child like him who grew up in the summer and has never tasted blood and gunpowder, how can he truly defeat an enemy who has drunk blood."

"Cousin Daemon is going to win." Longzel looked at the field. Atis was slashing at Daemon's shield like a mad dog, and each of Daemon's swords landed steadily, accurately and fiercely on Atis' bronze armor. The young earl soon had blood at the corners of his mouth.

"It's a pity that no one can enjoy the brand new Valyrian steel sword." Rhaenys looked at the audience with regret. "My husband asked me to tell you that Baelor and Rhaenyra miss Xiaojie and Xiaolu very much. They want to invite you to visit Climax City when you are free."

"My family once had trade relations with the Lord of Tide." Longzel said with a smile, "I will."

Rhaenys smiled and raised her glass to signal, then turned back to the bustling group of nobles.

Daemon quickly knocked out the angry Count Attis, but unfortunately he was defeated by Aslan.

The final of the jousting competition was between Aslan Rondel and Hoffa the Law-Bearer.

This fierce duel lasted for seventeen rounds, and twelve spears were broken. In the end, both sides decided to fight on foot to decide the winner.

Hoffa's spear ultimately had the upper hand, and when the black-haired, golden-eyed boy defended Diana's crown as the Queen of Love and Beauty, the entire audience was boiling with excitement.

"Prince, I like this boy." Borros Baratheon shouted and rushed to the front row. "Prince, I have four daughters. Would you consider letting this boy marry one?"

"You should ask Hoffa himself." Longzel said with a smile.

Duke Jason stepped directly on the railing and shouted to Hoffa: "Sir, as long as you can sell this huge sword to the Lannister family, my daughter, land, gold, you can take your choice!"

But Hoffa just bowed respectfully to Longzel and Diana, and after getting Longzel's nod, he quietly walked aside and stood there. Even though many girls threw their handkerchiefs to him, he didn't even look at them.

"My annoying brother is still like this." In the Varese team next to the venue, Adams Lawbreaker curled his lips and complained to Lynn beside him.

"Hoffa is dedicated to his duties." Lynn also sighed: "This is his strength, but also his weakness. Adams, why don't you get married first? Given Hoffa's devilish temper, I'm afraid your Lawbreakers family will do something as soon as they get their name."

"Pah, pah, pah. By the way, the group competition is about to begin. Be careful."

"Don't worry." Lin En signaled to the team members, and the seven of them drew their weapons at the same time and slowly entered the venue.

The archery competition on the other side started simultaneously, and a short mysterious knight also appeared on the shooting range.

"Game start!"
