Robert The reason why he is making fun of me like this is because he heard about recent events.
Obviously, His Majesty the King, who founded a new dynasty, is also aware of how "popular" Starpike Earl is now.
After being slapped away by the bold black Earl, he didn't take it seriously and instead laughed even louder.
Titus immediately retorted with an unceremonious tone, "Don't tell me that you have harmed some noble girl, do you want me to take over?"
The two of them were talking to each other, joking about this and that, the latter patting the former on the back, and the conversation became more and more unrestrained, completely ignoring the existence of Stannis beside them.
After the death of his parents, Stannis, who did not believe in gods but only recognized the law, had been following his elder brother, the family patriarch, and King Seven Kingdoms. He stood there with his expression still serious, but he was thinking secretly in his heart:
Fortunately, his surname is not Baira Theon, otherwise Storm's End--what would be the matter with me and Renly?
I'm afraid we won't even be able to share a bronze star's wealth.
He was slightly jealous of the closeness that Titus and Robert had when they got along, which was comparable to ordinary brothers.
No, their combination is more like a pair of brothers than between himself and Robert.
Titus dared to make fun of the king at will, but it would have been impossible for him.
But then I thought about it, if Titus hadn't come to rescue me, I would have been killed by Storm's End. Today, the groom forced himself to suppress this inexplicable emotion and stopped himself from thinking nonsense.
At the banquet, Titus and Robert were holding hands and talking freely, while today's leading actor Stannis stood quietly aside.
This scene fell in the eyes of all the nobles attending the banquet - especially the nobles who came from Crownlands and were not familiar with Titus Earl. They were both shocked and jealous.
But everyone knows very well that this kind of closeness and casualness are not enviable.
House Baratheon, which has been established for four years, was founded by the three brothers Robert·Baila Theon, Titus·Peake, plus Winterfell's Eddard·Stark.
The story of the rise of "three brothers" from three different families in a country tavern on the south bank of Gods Eye and Whitegrove has long been adapted into many songs by troubadours on the mainland and sung throughout the country.
As for Duke Riverrun Hoster·Tully in the five alliances, and Duke the Eyrie who became Hand of the King Jon·Arryn?
They are all old guys.
How could the story of three young people under the age of twenty and of noble birth overthrow the Mad King and overthrow the House Targaryen dynasty be so fascinating?
In ten years, it will be another "living legend"!
In the commotion, everyone enjoyed another song performed by Storm's End jester "Patchface" for the guests.
The name of this clown comes from his funny face covered with red and green tattoos - in his hometown Volantis, there has always been a custom of tattooing slaves and servants.
When he was young, the patchy face was once a clever boy.
Steffon·Baila Theon Duke met Patchface by chance when Free Cities of Essos was running for Prince Rhaegar, looking for a noble wife with Valyria blood. He once boasted that he was the most outstanding jester he had ever seen.
At that time, Patch-faced was still young, but he had nimble hands and feet, as agile as a monkey, and a sharp mind. He could do tricks, tell riddles, perform magic, and sing in four languages.
Even compared with the jesters who served the king in the Red Keep palace, they are not inferior.
The Duke of Steffon liked him very much, and specially bought his freedom, and planned to take him back to Storm's End with him.
In the last letter sent home to Zubao, the Duke also wrote, "Robert will definitely like him. As time goes by, maybe Stannis can also learn laughter from him."
But no one expected that the Duke's "Aofeng" encountered a storm in Shipbreaker Bay and suffered a shipwreck.
The place where the incident occurred was within sight of Storm's End, who was isolated on the cliff near the sea. Because his parents returned home, they originally
The jubilant brothers Robert and Stannis witnessed the ship carrying their parents being buried in the deep sea.
People from Storm's End launched a search and rescue operation, and ultimately found that hundreds of people had not survived.
It was not until three days later that Patch Face was washed ashore by the waves. By then, his skin had been soaked and turned white and wrinkled. Everyone thought he was dead. But just before burial, he suddenly coughed up seawater and miraculously survived.
However, after this ordeal, Patch Face's mind and body were severely damaged, and he became mentally retarded from then on. Perhaps the only thing that remained was his language talent and singing voice.
Titus listened quietly and found that this person was singing an ordinary Westeros ballad - "The Ride of Lord Harte in the Rain".
When he was at Nightsong, helping Bryce punish Maddy, he heard "Seven Strings" sung by Tom.
Except that the singing voice is really good, there is nothing special about the whole song, so I no longer pay attention to this poor jester.
Then, the bride Selyse·Florent, another protagonist of today's wedding, finally appeared.
She has a thin body, a pointed face, and protruding ears, which are typical features of the Florent family. Moreover, her nose is also very sharp, and her voice is not very pleasant when she speaks.
Even if she is dressed up, she can hardly be called a beauty.
On the other hand, the bridesmaid beside her, her cousin Dilina Florent, was quite outstanding, especially her big breasts, which were even more eye-catching.
This appearance obviously endeared him to Robert, who didn't even look for the "strong man" Beworth to have a drink with him.
Not long after, Titus saw Robert approaching Di Lina. The two chatted and laughed. After a while, they hugged each other and behaved very intimately.
Titus shook his head, turned around and walked to the circle where Selwyn Towers, Cavron Earl and others were, and chatted with them about the gossip of Brightwater Keep Earl Allister Florent.
"Old the Fox" is old-hearted and seems to want to imitate Jon Hand of the King, an old tree with blossoms, and actually raised a little lover in King's Landing.
As the head of Florent, Allister did not attend his niece's wedding in person today.
The person who came to the wedding in his stead was his third brother, Colin Florent, the father of bridesmaid Dilina Florent.
This Sir Colin is also a very individual person. Duke Tywin·Lannister once proposed that his dwarf son Tyrion marry Dilina, but Sir Colin rejected it flatly, which did not give the Warden of the West family any face.
Maybe the daughter followed her father.
That night, Di Lina, who almost became the wife of Tyrion·Lannister, got entangled with the drunk Robert I on the wedding bed of Selyse and Stannis, and had a good exercise.
Yes, the majestic king actually got drunk and slept with the bride's cousin on his brother's wedding night.
This incident spread quickly on Storm's End.
In a small area, the few nobles who learned about this were in an uproar.
Titus is not that surprised.
He also knew that if the original trajectory remained unchanged, Dilina Florent, who was "favoured" by the king, would become pregnant and give birth to a son named "Edric·Storm".
And her cousin Selyse will continue to complain to her husband Stannis, saying that the couple has not had a son for a long time because what King Robert did on the wedding night offended the gods and brought a curse.
Most of the invited Stormlands nobles, as well as a small number of Crownlands nobles, behaved indifferently. After all, this kind of chaotic relationship is not uncommon in mainland aristocratic circles.
But for Dilina Florent, who is an unmarried woman, after this incident, her future marriage choices may become a little difficult.
Even if the person who befriends her is a king, there may not be any decent noble family willing to marry her.
No one wants to wear a brightly colored hat on their head.
The marriage bed scandal between Robert I and Dilina Florent completely broke the somewhat relaxed relationship between the brothers.
After the wedding, Stannis·Baila Theon's face was so gloomy that it could drip water.
Lu Da and Lu Er, who had restored their normal relationship, once again had a rift.
Titus witnessed this scene with his own eyes. Thinking of the "noble" illegitimate son who would be named "Edric·Storm" in the future, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he secretly made up his mind.
Might as well wait and see.
If Dilina Florent is still pregnant this time, he plans to find "Peake" and marry this Brightwater Keep's eldest daughter.
Anyway, those distant relatives of Essos who have restored contact in recent years will definitely not mind receiving Robert's disks.
Ordinary people want to take over the king's offer, but there's no place to do so----
Storm's End's wedding banquet has come to an end.
On the way back, Ms. Wenda couldn't help complaining about the king's unreliable behavior - and it wasn't because the king was urging the marriage.
Titus chatted with some and others.
After returning to Starpike, he immediately sent a summons from the Peake patriarch to Essos.
But the reply he received made Titus's face become as gloomy as Stannis's before.
Riceville, actually dead?
Doubts suddenly came to mind.
As a senior military officer of Golden Company, Leswell·Peake had been fighting in Disputed Lands all year round without incident. Why did he die suddenly?
Could it be that the duo Varys and Illyrio acted?
Did they notice my spying on Golden Company?
"Golden Company" is the Essos mercenary group founded by the noble illegitimate son "Bittersteel" Aego River.
Yige is the legalized illegitimate son of "the Unworthy" Aegon IV. He takes sides in "Blackfyre Rebellion" Daemon·Blackfyre was the enemy of Daeron II who was on Iron Throne at that time, and their illegitimate half-brother "Bloodraven" Brynden·He Wen.
After Daemon·Blackfyre died in battle and was defeated, Aegor River took Daemon's sons and fled to Essos, and later took the lead in establishing "Golden Company".
In an environment where the mercenary group of Essos is generally capricious, the existence of "Golden Company" can be called an outlier and a role model in the mercenary world.
