Chapter 14 Dinner Party
Liu Yuan kept staring at the young knight, mainly because the name Jaime Lannister was very familiar to him. He could be said to be an important character throughout the entire Game of Thrones plot, a handsome boy with blond hair and blue eyes. But looking at his childish face, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Liu Yuan felt relieved when he thought of this. It seemed that there was still some time before the plot began, so he still had time to develop.
The castle door opened wide enough for a horse to pass through. Jaime Lannister tapped his horse's belly and rushed out first, followed by his entourage who left Harrenhal.
Liu Yuan watched their backs go away until the gate closed and blocked his view. Liu Yuan found other excuses to get information from other soldiers, and soon got a lot of useful information. For example, the current Lord of the East, Jon Arryn, although he had no children, he adopted Eddard Stark, the second son of the Lord of Winterfell, and Robert Baratheon, the new Lord of Storm's End, as his adopted sons a few years ago.
There are rumors that Duke Rickard Stark agreed to marry the Tully family and let his eldest son Brandon marry Catelyn Tully. He also betrothed his youngest daughter, Anna, to the new Duke of Storm's End, Robert Baratheon. It is said that Duke Tywin of the West originally wanted Jaime Lannister to marry his apprentice Duke's youngest daughter, Lysa Tully. In the end, it was not resolved. There are rumors that Lysa was pregnant with a bastard.
There was also gossip from the Red Keep that wildfires could particularly arouse King Aerys's desires. Every time he burned a prisoner to death with wildfire, he would sleep with the queen, and Queen Rhaella was tortured by Aerys...
Time for gossip always flies by, and the sun is gradually setting in the west. After saying goodbye to everyone, Liu Yuan returned to the Wailing Tower. Today he had all the gossip he could eat, and he didn't know that the noble circles in Westeros were so chaotic. It is estimated that the Mad King Aerys II will be the last king of the Targaryen family. It may not be long before the four families of Wolf, Eagle, Deer and Fish will raise the flag of rebellion. As far as he knows, the Celtigar family is a staunch royalist and will definitely side with the Targaryen royal family. What good can it be if you stand on the side that is doomed to fail?
Liu Yuan rubbed his head. What should he do if the war spreads to Crab Island? There is no shortage of perverts in this era. For example, the Mountain is someone he can never deal with. Why not take advantage of the martial arts competition to escape! If that doesn't work, find a way to get to Dongda Road.
Just as he was daydreaming, the door was pushed open. Liu Yuan was very familiar with the person who came in. It was Roy, the steward of the Celtigar family. When he came in, he saw Liu Yuan and said, "Little Garlon, you are back. I have a task for you. In order to entertain and welcome the king, Harrenhal will hold a grand banquet tonight and invite all the nobles and famous knights. There are not enough people in the castle, so you are needed to be a servant to serve wine. I will take you to the steward in a while, and you must obey his arrangements. Remember that the people present today are all important people, so don't make any mistakes, otherwise you will be severely punished."
Liu Yuan pretended to be humble and said, "Don't worry! Manager Roy, I will definitely study hard."
Liu Yuan followed Roy to the widow's tower, where there were already more than 30 children of about ten years old, both boys and girls. A fat woman was urging them to change into fitted clothes, which were uniform clean servants' uniforms. The old woman was still chattering about the precautions: "Listen to me carefully, you must not look up and look directly into the eyes of the nobles at any time. If they feel offended by you, you deserve to be beaten to death. And you must carry the tray and wine jug..."
Liu Yuan yawned loudly. He was not really a child. He still understood these principles. He was still too weak now, and pretending to be a grandson was a necessary procedure. The entire banquet hall was divided into areas by long tables. Westeros had a very strict hierarchy, and only the lords with the strongest strength and status would sit in the front. As for those unmarried noble girls, they sat with their relatives. They looked at those handsome noble sons with either curiosity or shyness. In fact, activities such as martial arts competitions are usually used as blind dates between families.
Liu Yuan and other children carried trays and wine jugs and walked between the long tables. He also knew why children were used. Those with larger bodies could not squeeze through. A Kingsguard shouted, "His Majesty the King has arrived!"
The whole hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone was looking ahead. Soon, Aerys II walked out of the shadows under the escort of two Kingsguards. When his figure appeared, many noble ladies were shocked. But they all covered their mouths tightly and dared not make a sound. In fact, many nobles have not seen their king for a long time. Liu Yuan was also amazed. It was really hard to evaluate the current appearance of Aerys II. His pale hair was scattered on his shoulders. He was thin and had large patches of ulcers on his exposed skin. What was eye-catching was his hands, with long nails that were curved like a ghost.
Anyway, Liu Yuan couldn't understand how a king could end up with such a noble appearance. It seemed that the titles of "Mad King" and "Blood Scab King" were well-deserved, and the person who gave him the nickname was very capable.
Aerys II didn't care about his appearance as a king at all. He waved his right hand like a ghost claw, signaling everyone to continue. He sat silently at the highest point, staring coldly at the crowd below. The sound in the entire banquet hall seemed to be several degrees lower than before, no longer paying attention to the noise just now.
But the silver-haired prince who had been accompanying the king went down to chat with the lords. His elegant and graceful manners alleviated the embarrassment caused by the king's appearance to some extent.
The tables Liu Yuan served were near the front, belonging to the royal family and their relatives. He poured a glass of wine for a Kingsguard, and he felt the majestic aura of this man. This man was Sir Arthur Dayne, known as the Sword of the Dawn, a legendary knight. His name came from the giant sword "Dawn" on his back, and the Kingsguard had the right to carry weapons at any time.
Compared to the giant sword "Dawn" made of meteorite iron, Liu Yuan was more interested in the beauty beside him. She was tall, with dark hair, fair skin, and a pair of unforgettable purple eyes, which looked very much like his favorite actress Sophie Marceau. She was also the focus of the men on the field. Liu Yuan noticed that the three young masters of the Stark family kept their eyes on her. The Stark family was really lively. There were many young people surrounding them. Judging from the emblems on their clothes, there were moose, black bears and mermaids. They should all be the children of vassals in the North.
The banquet went on for a while, and King Aerys, who was no longer as energetic as before, left early. The atmosphere of the banquet was gradually getting better, and Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, who was already a famous harpist, sang a beautiful and sad song. His voice was sad and graceful.
Lyanna seemed to be touched, she was sobbing silently. Unfortunately, her brother Benjen found out and laughed, "Haha, sister is crying. Ned, Brandon, look!" His action made Lyanna angry, and she put the wine glass on his head. "Shut up, little brat. If you dare to say another word, I will beat you up." Everyone was making a noise, and Robert Baratheon, who was not far away from them, looked at Lyanna infatuatedly. His companions said a few words to him teasingly, which made him angry and locked his companions' neck and took up the wine to force him to drink.
Next, a Night's Watch recruiting officer came to the stage. He said in a rhythmic voice: "The long night is coming. I will watch from now on until I die. I am the sword in the darkness, the guard on the Great Wall, the flame against the cold, the light at dawn, the horn to awaken the sleepers, and the shield to protect the kingdom. I dedicate my life and honor to the Night's Watch, tonight and every night...." He recited the Night's Watch's oath and called on the knights to join the Night's Watch Legion.
The banquet gradually reached its climax, and the musicians began to play music. Prince Rhaegar took Lillian River's hand and walked to the center of the venue to dance to the music. As the most precious guest and host, he was the first to start. After the song ended, it was everyone's turn to dance. Many men looked over, and they all planned to invite the beautiful Ashara Dayne to dance.
