The Robert in front of him felt strange.
Titus swears.
He has never seen this slutty guy be so... gentle, so young.
Lyanna·Stark, who is willful, stubborn and a little hot-tempered, is the kind of fiery girl who doesn't like red makeup and prefers armed weapons.
The tall and powerful Robert·Baratheon should have been her favorite.
But this third sister of the Wolf family really didn't seem to appreciate Duke Robert's small attentiveness at this time.
Lyanna raised his eyebrows and pulled the hilt of the sword at his waist, with a hint of mockery in his tone:
"Robert-sama's sweet words are probably more important than Hall of a Hundred Hearths's fire, right?"
After arriving at Harrenhal, she had already found out from the second brother's mouth many of the young man's romantic affairs, which in itself had already lowered her favorable impression of the person she was engaged to.
Hanging out with beautiful maids in the castle, having regular private meetings with the miller's daughter, hanging out in taverns, or hooking up with girls from small noble families... Thinking of the two marriage contracts mentioned by her father, she felt uncomfortable all over.
The wolf girl was so disrespectful to her fiancé that the atmosphere became tense for a moment.
Eddard, who is used to being a wingman and has some apologies for his elder brother, no longer cares about pretending to be cool. He takes half a step forward at the right time and gently touches Robert's arm, which is far less agile than usual when picking up girls:
"On our way here, something happened, so we were delayed for a while. Lyanna had a fight with someone, or in other words, she beat someone up, so she spoke with anger."
Robert immediately walked down the steps, smiled and patted his second brother's shoulder. At this moment, he didn't know that his crotch was about to be sold clean.
There is nothing Eddard can do about his own little sister. I am afraid that even the news that the Eyrie has an illegitimate baby girl may not be able to be concealed for long.
"What's wrong? What happened? Do you need my help?"
The corner of his eye was still glued to Lyanna. He didn't know why, but he just liked the wild beauty with brown hair.
Seeing her lowering her head to say something to her younger brother, her profile glowing warmly under the candlelight, the admiration and desire to conquer in her heart suddenly became stronger.
Brandon was already impatient with these pleasantries. He grabbed the wine glass from the passing maid's tray and took a deep sip. He raised his chin towards the empty seat of the king on the main table and asked, "Why doesn't that old king want to show up again tonight?"
Eddard hurriedly tugged on his sleeves to signal him to keep his voice down.
Lyanna rolled his eyes, first looked at the king's empty throne, and then took a closer look at Silver Hair Crown Prince, who was sitting on the left side of the throne with a melancholic temperament, curled his lips, and secretly said that it was not her cup of tea.
The other party looks too girly.
Looking back at the tall and tough handsome man Robert, let alone, if she hadn't known about his deeds, in comparison, she would really prefer a man with this appearance.
The atmosphere in Hall of a Hundred Hearths is still cheerful, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the arrival of these four brothers and sisters is like pebbles thrown into the lake. It not only disturbs the mood of Duke Storm's End who is fascinated by the girls, but also disturbs the minds of many nobles who like to think more.
In the corner, those whispers about "marriage", "inheritance", and "Direwolf going south" become more and more intriguing...
While everyone was talking, Robert and Titus took everyone to their table to sit down.
Also present at the table were several the North vassals who swore allegiance to House Stark of Winterfell.
Including House Dustin of Barrowlands, House Manderly of White Harbor and Hornwood, as well as a short man.
It is worth mentioning that a fat bald man named Wylis came to the Manderly family. This man had a beard like a walrus. According to Brandon, he was the eldest son of White Harbor Earl Weiman.
He treated the others at the same table in a silent and courteous manner, but when it was Earl of Starpike's turn, all that remained was "silence."
Titus The same is true for him.
Sit down and have a few drinks with everyone.
While Titus was enjoying the scene of Duke Baratheon courting Miss House Stark, he learned from Eddard's mouth that their brother and sister were here On the way, they met three knights named Squire who were bullying Holland Reed, the son of the leader of Greywater Watch who was located in the Neck, that is, the short man following them.
Those Squire are under fifteen years old, and Crannogmen Holland Reed, although already an adult, is not as tall as those boys who have been trained with the knights for a long time.
His only weapon, the three-pronged spear, was easily snatched away by the Squires, and he was knocked to the ground. The Squires repeatedly laughed at him, pushed and kicked him.
Lyanna·Stark ran into this scene, appeared in time and helped the boys in the Zedi. At the same time, he angrily announced that House Reed of Greywater Watch was also her father's vassal. He also used his dagger to teach the Squires and drove them away.
She is an eldest sister with a sense of justice and a hot temper, but for a big noble, besides her status, she may not be a good match...
Titus thought so, but had no intention of intervening or persuading Robert.
They had entered into a marriage contract early, which involved the marriage of the duke families of the two places and the blood union of the wolf and the deer. Now the good brother looked completely fascinated, and it was difficult for him to get involved.
After hearing the ins and outs of the incident, Titus took the initiative to find Holland Reed for a drink. The latter was flattered and quickly raised his glass in return.
The North also has many mountain tribes and swamp tribes who are loyal to Winterfell. This is the case with Crannogmen. They are often called "Wildlings within the Wall" by outsiders. Especially the residents living in the Neck are also nicknamed "Frog-eaters" and "Mudmen".
To the west of Riverlands, the Ironborns on Iron Islands once suffered huge losses from Crannogmen, calling them "swamp devils".
House Reed dedicated his loyalty to House Stark as early as three thousand years ago, and has always shouldered the important task of guarding the North's southern key road.
Titus chatted with Huo Lan from the Li De family and asked some anecdotes about Lizard-lion who lived in the Neck.
They are reptiles that live in swamps. They can half-float and half-sink under the swamp. When motionless, they look like black wood with vertical pupil-like eyes and dagger-like teeth.
The family emblem of House Reed is a black Lizard-lion lying on a gray-green background. I heard from Huo Lan that the ancient Swamp King mount in the ballad is a particularly huge Lizard-lion.
Earl, who used to enjoy watching B-level movies, automatically recalled classic scenes from "Crocodile", "Dark Waters", and "Crocodile" in his mind, and he had a great time chatting with Holland.
He also made an agreement with Huo Lan that after the martial arts competition is over and Crannogmen returns home, he will find a way to get a big and lively Lizard-lion cub to be raised by Starpike.
The dinner party is in progress.
As if being attracted by a red-haired friend, Crown Prince Rhaegar, who has been a well-known piano player of King's Landing for many years, also personally played an unknown song for the guests that was both beautiful and sad.
There is gentle singing in the middle of the song, and the High Valyrian that Titus has not yet learned but is already on the schedule is used.
Earl of Starpike Not sure, is that the famous "A Song of Ice and Fire"?
I could only see Miss Lyanna across the table in tears, her red eyes staring at Rhaegar·Targaryen, who had left her hands on the harp and was bowing amidst the applause.
Bun Yang laughed at his sister for being a sentimental crybaby, and the she-wolf threw wine in his face, causing Robert next to him to laugh.
Looking at Robert who had transformed into a big fool, Titus shook his head in silence.
Men still need to learn more talents...
Master Baratheon is in danger!
