iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 608 Their Wedding 2
Below, there were huge crowds of people.

Holding Daenerys's little hand in his, Green couldn't help but think of the past.

The Crab Claw Peninsula was in chaos and barrenness. After seventeen years of war, all the men of the Kleber family were killed and the clan was almost wiped out.

Then, they were forced to lose the Whispering Castle clan land, migrate and build the new Whispering City, which barely preserved the family heritage.

The family fell into decline, and as Green grew older, he became an older bachelor in Westeros who could not find a suitable marriage partner.

Two years ago.

When he was on a diplomatic mission to the Reach (Chapter 67), the wealth there always reminded him of Crabbe's family motto at the time: it is better to take by force than to work hard.

He hesitated several times...whether he should carry Little Rose away directly. Of course, it was just a thought. After all, he was a rational chief.

Later, he met the exiled Princess of Dragonstone, Daenerys Targaryen, in Pentos.

Then, they began to fall in love...

……

At this time, he and she, as king and queen, completed the wedding ceremony under the witness of the gods and the seven kingdoms.

Targaryen and Crabbe were completely united, becoming the legitimate Targaryen-Crabbe royal family of the Seven Kingdoms.

Below, everyone knelt one by one towards their location, and then spread out like a wave.

At this moment, Green was even a little dazed. He was already the legitimate and legal supreme ruler of the Seven Kingdoms.

Slowly retracting his gaze, Green placed a light kiss on his wife's forehead: "Dani, thank you."

……

Daenerys blinked her beautiful eyes full of love. Because she loved him, she was very familiar with him. Her husband had become a little different.

He seemed to love her even more, and she stood on tiptoes and kissed his cheek sweetly.

She was thinking that the "nightmares" she had suffered were all designed to keep her with him.

At this moment, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

His smile was always so gentle, calm and elegant. He raised his bony hand and held one of her hands.

She followed his gaze towards the vague Red Castle, and heard his voice in her ears: "Let's go home."

Home……

Viserys's old taunts would no longer cause her pain: Home? My dear sister, tell me, where are we going? Our home was taken away from us! Where is our home?

When they came to the carriage with the three-headed dragon flag and the marigold flag flying, Ser Barristan opened the door for them.

She had a home, a house in Braavos with a red door, her own room and a lemon tree outside her window.

Her best childhood was stored there, but she lost it very early.

Before getting on the carriage, she firmly grasped Green's hand and said to him sweetly, "Thank you, my knight."

After entering the carriage, Daenerys took the initiative to hug Green's neck and kissed him passionately.

Then she hugged his arms tightly and rested her head on his strong arms.

She now has a new home, a real home.

……

The gold-robed and blue-robed men stood guard on both sides of the road, and the carriage of the king and queen, escorted by hundreds of sworn knights, headed towards the Red Castle.

Gazing at the direction where the carriage was gradually disappearing, Kleber's retainer knight, Per Pili, also known as the Knight of Victory (Chapter 74) and Sir Per Pili (Chapter 246), had a pair of sharp eyes on his serious face... now filled with tears.

Next to him, another retainer knight of Crabbe, Sir Mason Baker, said with a mocking voice: "Old friend, have you been blinded by the sand in King's Landing?"

Sir Pell glanced coldly at his old friend with red eyes and said, "Mason, you are not bad either."

At this time, Kleber, the butler and the governor of Mermaid Harbor, and Herschel came over wiping their tears: "Sir Pell, Sir Mason, today is really..." "Have all the men in Crab Claw Peninsula become crybabies?"

Butler Surana appeared in front of them with a dagger on his waist. Herschel was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Surana, why are you here? What about the wedding banquet at the Red Castle?"

"The Imperial Steward is more familiar with wedding banquet matters."

Then, Steward Surana looked up and down at Hershel's bulging belly and said with a slightly contemptuous tone, "Steward of Whispering City, are you reminding Steward Megta?"

Hearing this, Herschel choked: "You you you..."

Sir Mason and Sir Pell both laughed. It seemed that they had not heard the two butlers arguing for a long time since Crabbe left the Crab Claw Peninsula.

In the past in Whispering City, this was one of their few entertainments, although it was a meaningless quarrel.

It is the honor and mission of the retainer knights to obey orders, but to be honest, they never dared to think that their lords would sit on the Iron Throne.

Thinking of this, Sir Mason couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that the Baker family would one day protect the Seven Kingdoms for the Crabbe family."

Keng.

Sir Per pulled down his visor after jumping on his horse. “I had anticipated this when I taught you sword skills.”

Sir Mason, who also mounted his horse, could not help but sneer. It must be a lie. His old friend had become hypocritical.

……

The entire Red Fort will host a grand wedding banquet for seven days and seven nights.

In the banquet hall of Maegta, waiters and maids shuttled back and forth, serving fresh fruits, fragrant delicacies and fine wines to the long tables.

On the balcony, court musicians were playing passionately. The cheerful melodies poured down, adding a warm atmosphere to the wedding banquet.

"Everyone stand up and welcome King Grimm I and Queen Daenerys I!"

As the royal attendants sang loudly, the men and women in gorgeous clothes stopped talking and nodded to the king and queen who appeared hand in hand.

Green and Daenerys both changed into simple dresses. After they took their seats on the platform, they raised their hands and pressed them. The royal attendants sang again: "Please take your seats!"

There was a faint smile on Green's lips, and Daenerys, with a blush on her little face, couldn't help but glance at him, her eyes filled with deep love.

Picking up the wine glass, Green said happily: "Everyone, thank you for your blessings!"

"Long live the King! Long live the Queen!"

"Gods bless you!"

"Cheers to the Seven Kingdoms!"

Everyone followed suit and raised their glasses, and the hall was filled with their cheers.

……

As dusk crept up the spires of the Red Keep, the atmosphere in the banquet hall grew more heated.

Green drank lavishly, which was rare, and Daenerys also showed her good alcohol tolerance, but she was just a little drunk.

Amid the laughter of the crowd, the heir of Highgarden and several roses, who had been drunk by Princess Arianne and her Sand Snake sisters, were carried out one by one by the waiters.

The musicians changed the tune to a rondo, and soon the center of the banquet hall became a dance floor where men and women danced happily.

Green had excellent eyesight. Through the crowd... he saw Grand Maester Pycelle sleeping soundly under the table with a shoe left behind by a noble lady under his head. He couldn't help but look away with disgust.

At some point, Lord Brynden Tully was also pulled onto the dance floor, where he was moving stiffly.

Princess Arianne, who was walking unsteadily, came to the platform with her sisters in a menacing manner.

Leo Tyrell (Chapter 585), the cupbearer, takes a king's squire from the Stormlands and takes the initiative to "fight" them on behalf of the king.

Green and Daenerys, who were watching the fight, only drank three glasses of wine before Arianne and Leo were carried away by maids and waiters respectively. The Sand Snakes, who were supporting each other, also retreated with weak steps.
