After all, it is Gates of the Moon who has grown up with a strong knight atmosphere.

Mya also knew that his small arms and legs could not wear heavy armor at all, so he made it a point to wear light armor.

These words just hit Robert's liking zone. His daughter obviously has no interest in the complicated skirts and dresses of those aristocratic ladies.

He immediately laughed loudly, with such a loud voice that the dust on the roof seemed to tremble. "Okay! She is indeed my daughter!"

This time, he said what was in his heart directly.

Before the laughter ended, there was a soft sound of footsteps outside the hall.

The door was opened, and it was Prince Lewyn who was wearing a white robe.

Queen Elia Martell came in holding Rhaenys Martell, who was smaller than Mya.

Her big eyes lit up in an instant, and she immediately let go of her mother's hand and ran over. There was a bit of expectation and a bit of shyness on her little face. She obviously wanted to make friends with peers she had finally met, but she was a little embarrassed to take the initiative.

Although Mya is only one year older than Rhaenys, she is half a head taller and has a stronger body shape. She looks like an older sister.

She saw Rhaenys dressed like an exquisite rag doll, with brown curly hair draped over her shoulders, and a shy smile on her baby-fat face. At the same time, she was envious in her heart - whether she liked the dress or not, but she could still tell whether it was pretty or not - the unfamiliar emotion faded a lot.

Rhaenys hesitated for a moment, but finally plucked up the courage to speak first, with a soft voice. "Are you sister Mya? Your father and mother said that they will hold a welcome banquet for you, and many people will come!"

As she said this, child Rhaenys started chatting about the "welcome banquet" that she often talked about recently.

Mya was slightly shocked when he realized that there was such a banquet waiting for him.

Rhaenys was indeed very cute. She followed the other person's words and started chatting. Now the remaining tension completely dissipated.

Rhaenys became even more excited after receiving the response. Encouraged, she thought she was good at making friends. She generously took Mya's hand and chattered about her favorite pet.

A super cute little black cat.

She also gave the black kitten a majestic name - "Balerion the Black Dread" Balerion.

Mya actually has no interest in Balerion. Compared to cats, she prefers running horses and long-running donkeys. She is still too young and her figure is only suitable for riding donkeys.

But seeing Rhaenys's enthusiastic and enthusiastic look, she still listened patiently and occasionally nodded in response.

The two little girls quickly became familiar with each other.

The next evening.

Mya, who embarked on a distant journey in a "pumpkin cart", arrived at the first banquet in her life without a prince.

The Queen's ballroom was brightly lit.

In Red Keep, a "Princess's Banquet" specially held for two little girls was held as scheduled.

The ballroom was extremely luxuriously decorated, the candles in front of the silver mirror were all lit, the crystal chandeliers reflected bright light, gorgeous tapestries hung on the walls, and the long table was filled with exquisite snacks and fruit wine.

The air seems to be filled with the fragrance of flowers and wine.

When Mya Shi Dong appeared in front of everyone wearing new clothes, many nobles showed surprised expressions.

Either because she felt that Mya was too similar to her when she was a child, or because of a whim or an idea, Robert I had someone specially prepare a black unisex dress for her.

This dress is made of high-quality materials and fine workmanship. The only thing missing is the Crowned Stag coat of arms of House Baratheon.

Dressed up like this, Red Keep's new resident is a "princess" rather than a handsome "little prince".

The length of her black hair reaches just below her ears, and her dark blue eyes are bright and lively. As a woman, she has just passed her eighth Name Day age, and her brows already show a bit of the heroic spirit of a young man.

Everyone attending the banquet had to admit that this little girl from Vale, who was said to be the king's eldest child, indeed looked very similar to His Majesty the King.

Just like Master Chen and the King of South Campus--

One look, and you know that Robert I is her father.

She is the species of Baila Theon.

The little princess Rhaenys on the side is dressed even more cutely.

She wears exquisite pearl hair accessories on her brown curly hair, a light yellow dress, and fluffy hair.

The little one looks pink and tender.

Robert seemed extremely satisfied with the appearance of his illegitimate daughter. He was smiling the whole time and was in a very good mood.

His Majesty the King is very happy today.

Especially when he saw Queen Elia tenderly holding the hand of Mya, who was a little uncomfortable with such an occasion, leaning into her ear from time to time, patiently teaching the etiquette at the banquet, and helping his daughter ease the embarrassment of facing so many nobles for the first time, he was even more pleased.

Robert frequently raised his glass and toasted to his adoptive father and Hand of the King Jon·Arryn: "Jon, you have been Hand of the King for so long, and you finally came up with a brilliant idea for me! It's great to bring Mya back!"

Duke Jon, who proposed to take the king's illegitimate daughter back to Red Keep to raise, looked at Robert who was in high spirits, with a dumbfounded look on his face. He could only pick up the wine glass, clink it with him, and then drink it in a toast.

His eyes swept across the center of the ballroom, where the two little girls were holding hands and playing happily, but there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

He always felt as if he had missed some crucial detail. But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what it was for a while.

I had no choice but to suppress this weird feeling for the time being and continue drinking with the king who was in high spirits.

The Stormlands and Crownlands nobles present seemed to be very supportive, and they all stepped forward to pay tribute to Robert, praising the girl named "Mya" for being so heroic and having the same charm as Robert I.

But in the dark, many lords were whispering, full of doubts in their hearts.

Why do the king and Hand of the King pay so much attention to an illegitimate daughter?

What is even more strange is that as the queen, Elia Martell - she has no objection to this and even takes the initiative to take care of the illegitimate daughter?

There were even those nobles who had lost power in the new dynasty. When they looked at Mya Shi Dong and Rhaenys Martell holding hands, a sneer appeared on the corners of their mouths, and they secretly sneered in their hearts:

These two "daughters" of His Majesty the King, one is an illegitimate daughter whose surname is "Shidong", and the other is an adopted daughter whose surname was changed from "Targaryen" to "Martel".

After all the talk between the two "princesses", none of them has the last name "Baila Theon"?

The morning light shines through the tall arched window and fills the interior of the study on the east side of Starpike.

The biggest advantage here is the bright lighting.

Titus sat behind the large Oak table, tapping his fingertips on the tabletop, and his eyes occasionally glanced at the several letters he spread out on the table.

These are not the love letters and private messages that he sends to the Red Mountains every day, but personal letters from the Reach--and even Seven Kingdoms's lords of all sizes.

They are all "proposal letters" with the distinctive characteristics of the Westeros aristocracy.

As the most outstanding and sought-after man in the "marriage market" in the entire mainland, Titus couldn't help but laugh when he read these letters.

He even saw the mark of a golden standing lion in it - yes, even House Lannister, whom he had severely offended, sent a test from Casterly Rock.

What the hell?

Did they all make an appointment in advance? Is this also about fair competition and joint action?

Titus thought to himself.

Or is it that someone exposed his intention to "propose marriage" to me, forcing others to follow suit, or to increase their bets?

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that such a "proposal boom" was set off at almost the same time period.

When we got to Westeros, we became one party, Earl, and we were actually being forced to get married?

Is there any more royal law? Is there any more law?

Master of Laws Hoster·Tully, how does he manage the kingdom's legal profession?

Titus was speechless. This feeling of being forced to talk about marriage was really not a pleasant feeling.

In the study, there was another person who was also doing this with a speechless expression on his face.

Yes, equally speechless is Wenda·Storm, the multi-functional chief guard who is stationed in Earl's "big office".

She even moved a small table in and placed her love table on the side in front of Earl's desk. She really looked more and more like a personal secretary.

Of course White Eagle 0L knew that his master Earl was very popular and sought after, but he never thought that he would be "popular" to this extent.

This female captain, who kills many people outside and makes the enemy and even the army fearful, is sitting behind her small table at the moment, raising her red lips in dissatisfaction and glancing at Mr. Hei Earl with complex eyes.

I don't know if I am blaming the lords who "begged for marriage" for their daughters, or I am blaming Earl himself for "wooing bees and butterflies".

Titus: I don't know.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw the same expression in each other's eyes. They looked at each other in silence and amusement for a moment.

In the end, it was Captain Wenda who broke the pantomime first. His tone was a little sour, but also a little serious when he asked, "Sir, there are so many letters of intention about the marriage between the two families. How do you plan to choose?"

Titus raised his eyebrows slightly, stopped knocking on the table, leaned back, and thought to himself: Choosing a ghost is all a trap.

Say so.

In his heart, he had directly ignored the proposals for marriage from small families. His eyes stopped on a few letters from big nobles, and he began to think silently.

First up is Brightwater Keep's Melissa Florent-Master of Coin Allister Florent's eldest daughter.

After seeing this name, Titus felt strange.

He personally sent away Melissa's husband Randyll·Tarly----No matter how peacefully he left, Randyll felt cold----

That "old the Fox" actually dared to push his widowed daughter out and "propose marriage" to him?

Allister, awesome.

Titus seriously suspects that the "wave of proposals" that broke out this time is the news that Allister deliberately released in King's Landing.

In order to facilitate his daughter's "second marriage", this Master of Coin might even resort to pretending that "the deal is done".

Thinking of this, Titus couldn't help but secretly shake his head, thinking that this distant relative of Peake still knows how to play.

It would be really cunning to say that Florent is the eldest son of "the Fox" and Florys.
