Chapter 106 Attack
high court.

Caitlin and Arya have been here for a while.

The negotiations with the Tyrell family went smoothly. Judging from her appearance and recent behavior, Queen of Thorns Elena is definitely a kind old man.

She often gave Arya some gifts to show her kindness. After learning that Arya liked to dance with knives and guns, she also gave her a beautiful dagger as a gift.

However, Arya always felt that this old woman was a little weird. Every time she talked to her, the other party always seemed to be making insinuations.

The most asked questions were about his brother Robb, his character and conduct.

Aaliyah was also very smart, and she would often tell the truth [-]%, [-]% vaguely, and [-]% lies. She thought that since she couldn't figure out what this old woman was thinking, she would just not tell the truth.

Arya prefers to be friends with the 'valiant' Garlan Tyrell, the second son of the Tyrell family, than this kind-looking old woman.

Caitlin has more contact with Little Rose. She is the future daughter-in-law and the queen of the kingdom. As a mother, Caitlin must know more about Little Rose.

The overall feeling is okay. Although this little girl is a little scheming, Caitlin doesn't care about this. She wants her son to have more troops and food. This small flaw is not worth mentioning at all.

Generally speaking, the two women of the Stark family live very comfortably here.

Until the Queen of Thorns called the two of them into the back garden at a dinner party.

The Queen of Thorns held a gorgeous invitation in her hand: "We received a letter from Riverrun. The construction of Harrenhal has been completed, and we are leaving for Harrenhal to prepare for the wedding."

Caitlin also just received a letter. With the gold plundered from the West and the labor from the Iron Islands, Harrenhal was being repaired very quickly.

Now it is said that Harrenhal has completely changed its appearance. It is no longer the dark and slovenly appearance after being burned by dragon flames. Instead, it is pure white, symbolizing the holy color of the snow in the north.

Caitlin was very happy: "My son's fleet will arrive soon, and we will just pick up Miss Margaery when the time comes."

The Queen of Thorns' face was a little serious: "In addition, I also received a worrying letter. The Bishop of the Starry Church in Old Town went north together with Sir Baelor Hightower."

Although Robb's Wolf Guard is spread across the continent, currently, it is still difficult to penetrate into some places, especially places with fanatical beliefs.

The peripheral members of the church may be obsessed with money, but those core members basically pursue spiritual realm, and it is difficult to impress them with pure money.

So Robb didn't know what was going on in the Starry Cathedral.

Fortunately, the Tyrell family has some roots in the Reach, and they can judge the movements in Oldtown through clues.

Of course Caitlin knew Oldtown's attitude: "What are they going to do?"

"I don't know, but it won't be a good thing."

The Queen of Thorns is also helpless. Her control of the River Bend is far less powerful than the Stark family's control of the North.

It's not even as strong as the Tully family's control over the Riverlands. After all, before Targaryen promoted the Tullys to be the guardians of the Riverlands, the Tully family was a very popular noble.

The Tyrell family's past is quite humble.

If the Queen of Thorns hadn't come from the Redwyne family on the Arbor Island, and there was an exchange of interests involved, Earl Redwyne's fleet would not have simply obeyed the command of the Tyrell family.

Caitlin said with relief: "I will write a letter to His Majesty Robb, and then send some people over. No matter what the situation is, we can suppress it."

It's better to forget about Bigjon's recklessness, Caitlin thought, otherwise the conversation would be unpleasant, and Bigjon might hack that bishop to death in public. He didn't believe in the Seven Gods in the first place.

The Queen of Thorns nodded and made arrangements: "The Knight of Flowers and Garland will also go with you, so that the scene can be slightly shocked."

Both responded to the action in Oldtown, arranging manpower to prepare for possible emergencies.

-

Soon the day came to welcome the little roses, and the Mander River was filled with golden flowers and the fragrance of wine.

Highgarden is rich in roses, and the Arbor is rich in fine wine. In order to make the scene more grand, Earl Redwin generously donated barrels of expensive wine to this farewell banquet. Even a dog walking by the roadside would be able to Smell drunk.

In the residential buildings in High Court, countless girls held flowers and sprinkled them around the little roses passing by on their way to the Mander River port, sending their blessings to her.

At the port of the Mander River, thousands of knights were standing ready to protect the nobles from various river bays attending Little Rose's farewell banquet.

Originally there was no need to hold such a banquet, but the Queen of Thorns felt that the significance of this marriage was different from the past, so she could hold it in a grand way to highlight the glory of the Tyrell family.

It was the first time for Caitlin and Arya to witness such a luxurious scene. Flower petals were flying in the sky, jesters and clowns performed one after another, exotic dancers danced on the sidelines, and the scent of wine was about to dye the Mander River. Become a river of wine.

Caitlin exclaimed: "It's incredible, the richness of the River Bend is beyond imagination!"

The Queen of Thorns smiled and raised a gold goblet inlaid with rubies, signaling to Caitlin: "My granddaughter's dowry will be even richer."

Caitlin also smiled: "My son will never forget this friendship."

The banquet went smoothly. Baelor and the Bishop of the Hightower family seemed very quiet. The Queen of Thorns kept staring at them, but the quieter they were, the more the Queen of Thorns felt that they were going to cause something.

When the banquet came to an end, the bishop stood up and expressed his intention to baptize little Rose Tyrell and send his blessing.

This is a normal operation. The Queen of Thorns wants to stop it, but there is no valid reason.

So he signaled the Knight of Flowers and Garland with his eyes. They understood and prepared to step forward to take the bishop away.Ding ding ding!
At this moment, Ser Baelor Hightower finally stood up and struck the glass with the silverware in his hand, making a crisp sound.

The minor nobles who were attached to the Hightower family immediately shut up.

Silence has an effect.

In the class, once there is a small area of ​​silence, the entire class will be silent immediately. When the class teacher is not found, there will be a heated discussion again.

At this time, the entire banquet was enveloped in silence.

"Everyone, I don't know if Mrs. Caitlin knows our concerns, but in order to safeguard our rights, I must speak clearly."

At some point, several guards appeared around Ser Baelor Hightower, protecting him.

The Queen of Thorns stood up and wanted to interrupt him: "Today it's me..."

Sir Baile immediately borrowed the donkey from the slope and said: "The rose wedding in Highgarden is indeed a big event. In this case, I will not talk about my trivial matters first. Let the Bishop bless our Highgarden rose first!"

After saying that, the bishop immediately walked straight towards Margaery.

In people's hearts, the weight of the church is still very important, especially the bishop of the Church of the Stars, who will be treated with courtesy even in King's Landing.

The Knight of Flowers and Garland dared to take the bishop away when no one noticed, but they would never dare to drive away this high-status man in full view of the public.

Once it's put on the table, something goes on the scale, and you can't deny its weight.

The bishop smiled and walked to Little Rose: "The last time I saw you, you were a little girl, and now you have reached the age of marriage. On behalf of the Seven Gods, I offer my blessings to your marriage."

The bishop closed his eyes and prayed silently. Little Rose maintained her fake smile and had a bad feeling in her heart.

Everyone present fell into an eerie silence, and they all understood the filth underneath.

After more than a minute of silence, the bishop finally made a move.

"No!"

The bishop opened his eyes suddenly, with a horrified look on his face: "No, the old woman of the Seven Gods sent me a divine revelation. You will marry a tyrant, and he will bring heavy disaster to the entire continent of Westeros!"

Little Rose's eyes widened, and the anger in her heart instantly filled her chest!

The damn beast!
Actually!

Dare to be at a woman’s wedding!

Speak such curse words!

Fuck you, the Seven God Bishops!
Damn it!Damn it!Damn it!

Whoa!
There was a commotion among the little nobles below.

Except for a few fanatics who believe it is true, everyone else knows that saying such words on this occasion means that the Hightower family and the church have completely broken up with the Tyrell family.

Baelor Hightower stood up with a look of disbelief on his face: "My Lord Bishop, have you made a mistake? Highgarden wants to take all of us in the Reach to serve the King of the North. How can he be a tyrant!"

The bishop looked pious: "God doesn't lie."

"Hey, it turns out that my previous worries were justified. I was a little surprised about Robb's annexation of the territory of a small noble. Now there is a divine prophecy. We must not allow our rights to be deprived of our rights at will. This But it’s the right given to us by the Seven Gods!”

Ser Baelor Hightower was heartbroken: "Lady Catelyn, we all know that you are the mother of His Majesty Robb. No offense, but you also know the current situation. I need you to make a promise to us on behalf of the King in the North!"

"Article [-], King Robb of the North must ensure that he will not forcibly confiscate the food and wealth of all our lords, and that everything must respect our own wishes..."

……

"No. 20 three..."

Ser Baelor Hightower spoke very quickly. Before anyone could react, he had already mentioned the three items No. 20.

He didn't expect Caitlin to agree, it was just a show, so he memorized it quickly.

Earl Redwin stood up and shouted angrily: "What the hell are you farting! Who are you, and you actually want to order the King of the North to come?"

Baelor Hightower immediately retorted: "Lord Redwyne, I respect you, but you are now Lord Robb's Lord of the Sea, so naturally you don't need to pay attention to our concerns!"

"Yes, of course you spoke to the King of the North."

"Hey, look, all the great nobles in the Reach have been bribed by that Robb. Lord Redwyne of Highgarden wants to sell us for glory and wealth!"

Some minor nobles were waiting for Earl Redwin to speak, and started inciting them according to the previously rehearsed script.

For a time, many neutral little nobles showed hesitant looks on their faces.

 Thank you all for your monthly votes. Yesterday there were so many monthly votes that I lost my mind.
