Eddard's dance performance was not ideal, and the dance with Ashara ended in a hurry.
White Knight, who had been waiting for a long time, swung his cloak, stepped forward calmly, and took from the hands of the former the most popular young lady who was destined to be busy tonight.
Eddard, who kept punching and slapping his hands, regretting that he didn't perform well, saw the smile on the young man's face and asked embarrassedly:
"Titus, did you say anything when you danced with Miss Ashara just now?"
Titus smiled and said, "It's just dancing, do I need to say more? Now, Eddard, I won't be able to speak in the future, so you can say as little as possible..."
He would not tell Eddard that he had just arranged a private meeting with Ashara.
She didn't respond, so Titus took it as if she didn't refuse.
The ignorant Eddard held on to Titus and asked him why he didn't seize such a good opportunity just now and chat more with Miss Ashara... This seemed to him to be incredible.
Titus It's hard to tell him, what's so interesting about chatting, there are more fun things...
Speaking of which, there is a long way to go to become a knight. Communication, dancing, and how to please aristocratic ladies are all important compulsory courses.
Eddard's lesson was obviously not up to the mark.
All thanks to Duke the Eyrie.
Titus looked around at him, pretending to be concentrating on admiring the moving dance moves of White Knight and Lady of Starfall, while saying the annoying Eddard: which is not cool at all:
"Yeah... Look, White Knight is White Knight, with steady dance steps and stiff body... Oh, it has a great sense of balance... Barristan, not bad!"
Titus considered himself to be the Hall of a Hundred Hearths Dance King of the Harrenhal First Palace Dance Competition. After commenting on Barristan's dancing skills, he no longer wanted to deal with Eddard who became worried about gains and losses and was nagging, so he quickly pulled away, slipped away quickly, and hid in the corridor at the edge of the huge hall to avoid the limelight.
The shadows cast by the pillars were just enough to cover his whereabouts. Titus had just stood still when he heard low laughter coming from the position blocked by the pillars in front of him:
"... Haha, so you can't participate in this competition?"
"Harrenhal There are so many masters now. Even if I am injured in my right arm and cannot compete, what do you have to be happy about?"
A hoarse voice replied, "I still hope that I can participate in the tournament in a complete enough state. Of course, it would be better if there is a war. I am always ready to hold a sword in my hand and wrap myself in horse leather."
"Of course you will think so, but I would rather keep my breasts in my mouth and be drunk with gentleness... I heard that Skyreach's "Old Falcon" dotes on his Twins daughter very much. Maybe he will hold a conference in their Name Day in the future. Maybe you will participate?
Can you imagine, Skyreach must prepare at least two laurel crowns of "Queen of Love and Beauty"..."
Old falcon?
Titus knows in his heart that this is the owner of Skyreach Earl and House Fowler Franklyn·Forrester The nickname of Earl, this Lord Earl is the guardian of "Prince's Pass" and the old enemy of Nightsong.
When it comes to family power, House Fowler's status among Dorne is second only to Sunspear's Martell and Boneway's Yronwood, and is comparable to Starfall's House Dayne and Hellholt's House Uller.
Titus adjusted the angle, took a quick glance, and recognized that the two people chatting in the corridor were Oberyn·Martell and House Gargalen who had come with the Crown Princess before.
The former has thin eyebrows, dark eyes, glossy black hair, and a unique beauty peak above the eyebrows.
The latter's clothes were embroidered with the pattern of a red rooster holding a snake in its mouth - this was the source of details from which Titus identified his family.
Titus quickly looked through his memory. Yes, Bowen had come to report. For some reason, Blackmont's people did not come to Harrenhal. And the person closest to Oberyn was none other than Salt Shore Earl Tremond Gogenles.
Princess Dorne's eldest son Doran·Martell once served as Squire to this Earl. From the tone of his voice, it seems that he is a battle-mad lord with an old-school military style?
Titus knew that Oberyn had a fierce temper, a debauched private life, and a sharp and sharp tongue. Citadel once studied at Oldtown, during which he also created several "discipline" chains, but later dropped out of school due to boredom.
His experience so far is not very rich, and he has not yet made a name for himself within the kingdom.
On the contrary, in Dorne, many people like to call him by another name.
It was when Oberyn was sixteen years old that he was discovered to be having an affair with Edgar Yronwood Earl's mistress. The old Earl was so angry that he fought with him in a duel.
Due to Oberyn's origin and age, the duel was agreed to stop at the sight of blood, and both sides were injured in the end. A few days later, Edgar Earl died due to ulceration and suppuration from the wound. Some people thought that Oberyn put poison on the sword.
Regardless of whether it was done by Oberyn, from then on, both his opponents and friends called him "Red Viper".
Because he knew that this venomous snake was the type that both men and women loved to sleep with, Titus planned to stay away from him from the beginning.
He listened to the two men laughing and clinking glasses, and their conversation covered a wide range of topics, including travel notes, training methods for hawks and dogs, and some less sensitive family secrets.
Titus was an upright person and did not want to hear more about the two's dealings, so he quietly turned around and left.
Returning to the seats where everyone was originally sitting, I found that due to the presence of his fiancée, Robert actually stayed honest tonight and did not go out to seduce those Maiden young wives from noble families.
At this moment, he was catching a Strong Belwas dressed as a knight having a drink. He didn't know if it was because he couldn't dance with his sweetheart that he took the opportunity to get drunk to relieve his sorrow.
"Surrender quickly! Rickard, you are no match for me! Hahahaha..."
As soon as he heard that laughter, Titus knew that he had thought too much, and Robert was very arrogant.
The heartless Robert slammed the empty wine glass onto the table. As his opponent, Strong Belwas's face was already red, and he could barely stand still by supporting the table with both hands.
Duke Storm's End laughed and wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth. He caught a glimpse of Titus coming over from the corner of his eye, and his eyes lit up. "Titus, you came at the right time. I just saw you showing off your skills on the dance floor..."
Show off your skills and call me "Dance King"...
At this time, Titus observed Robert's opponent. The "Rickard" chest emblem that was about to lose its strength was a rare shield divided into six equal parts. The patterns in the six equal parts were staggered red lips and yellow skulls. This was the family emblem of Stormlands House Lonmouth.
Kiss or Die?
Titus was deeply impressed by their family's House words: Make Your Choice.
Not long after Rickard·Lonmos was canonized as a knight by Prince Rhaegar, he and Jon·Coddington from Stormlands, and Maidenpool Earl William·Mooton's younger brother Mis·Mooton are the prince's close partners and supporters in the court.
There are so many supporters of Rhaegar. Among the Kingsguard closest to Iron Throne, there are Prince Oswell·Whent, Lewyn·Martell and Arthur·Dayne Ser.
Six accounts for three of them, and half of them are his people.
The newly added Jaime·Lannister still don't know where to stand...
As the defeated "Knight of Skulls and Kisses" fell to the ground with a splat, the noble children who were watching the drinking fight between the two sides suddenly burst into laughter.
"By the way, Ned, that guy doesn't seem to be doing well?"
Yes, I was the reason for his unhappiness.
Titus glanced at him and said nothing.
The proud "winner" Robert, smelling of alcohol, raised his eyebrows and approached Titus, deliberately lowering his voice. "I saw him dancing with Starfall's girl after you, but he doesn't seem to be as popular with women as you are..."
He came closer and whispered, "Then, he danced with Ashara's maid again!"
Well? Eddard is a bad student?
Ashara's maid, I remember, was a woman named "Wylla", one of Eddard's original scandal targets.
"You have to ask Ned."
Titus pushed him away and said angrily, "What's so good about dancing? I haven't seen you having fun drinking wine."
Robert, who couldn't get a date tonight, slapped her thigh and said yes.
Titus was thinking about another scandal target of Eddard... a certain boat girl on Bay of Crabs, and said casually:
"Compared to dancing with women, maybe I'm better at other dances..."
Dance King:
