Chapter 99 Butterfly Wings
Chapter 99
The meaning of these guards' sword drawing is rich and colorful. You know, before this, Robert personally agreed to this fair showdown. This is a taboo in Westeros, where knight culture and duel culture are prevalent.
But these guards openly broke the taboos and tried to interfere with the duel. This was not just a matter of ignoring tradition and the law. More importantly, they did not take King Robert's words at all, and only James Lannister in their eyes. This is not surprising. Tywin was sophisticated and Cersei secretly assisted. Most of the people around the old man were actually Lannister's confidants. Simply put, as long as Tywin wanted, Robert would not survive that night.
But because Robert also has three major families of Baratheon, Stark and Turley. Dorn and Lannister are blood feuds for generations, Tywin dare not play hard directly. He probably wanted to slowly attack Robert and slowly kill Robert. After that, Cersei could easily control the government. The seven countries fell indirectly into the hands of the Lannister family.
However, although Robert was a little confused when he drank, he was not a fool. As soon as the Prime Minister died, he felt something was wrong. So he traveled thousands of miles to the North to find his old friend. He wanted him to go to Beijing, but no, he went to King's Land to help. So the scene of the king coming to the North was the one who made a move. In fact, Robert also made a point of building momentum for Ned.
Su Yuan's meaningful eyes really stimulated Robert, and he was furious. The wine glass in his hand was thrown directly over and hit a guard's head upright. He staggered. At this time, the guards realized what they did. They were worried about the young master and even forgot their obvious identity for a while.
"You bastards dare to interfere with the duel I allow. People come, drag these guys out for me, and each one whip twenty whips. Sir Balistan, you supervise them yourself."
A farce ended. Because Su Yuan was in a mess, the originally inconspicuous banquet still caused some turmoil and had some subtle influences. At least Robert's face became very ugly. This was also a reminder from Su Yuan. He actually didn't want Robert to die so soon.
Looking at the story of Game of Thrones, from a personal perspective, the one who can become a good king is the one who can best become a good king should be Stannis Baratheon. The red-robed woman initially regarded him as the reincarnation of Ahai. It's a pity that she is not the protagonist, and her luck is much worse.
In addition to him, a group of other powerful masters are all top experts in palace fighting, but if they really become kings, they will definitely be more and more delicious. Here we can compare some examples of reality.
Shortly after the fight, Su Yuan left the seat on his own initiative. Although Robert was very interested in him and even wanted to let him sit next to him, Su Yuan did not have the slightest aristocratic status and could not sit next to him, regardless of whether he was reasonable or reasonable.
Not long after, Arya also secretly ran over.
"Master, you are so amazing today. I've been upset with that smiling little white face. He actually dared to provoke my father. My father defeated the sword god in Dawn. How could that little white face challenge?"
Su Yuan knew the story between Stark and the Dawn Sword God. However, there was no need to expose his father's glorious history in front of the little girl. Moreover, that glorious history also hid a secret that concerns the fate of the seven kingdoms. Su Yuan did not intend to talk nonsense at this time.
At the banquet, Robert and Ned were communicating in a low voice.
"Tell me the truth, where did you find such a powerful swordsman? I guess Sir Dane was not as exaggerated as him. Although I don't like that boy James, I have to admit that that kid's swordsmanship is still good. But tonight, I'm really open-minded. Ned, you're really hiding this kind of powerful person. Are you planning to show off at the martial arts competition?"
"You know I never liked the kind of show-off. Grant is not my person either. According to him, we were just hired. I paid him Jinlong, who was responsible for teaching Arya's sword technique."
"Wait, do you say he is Arya's swordsman? Not Robert's, or your two little wolf cubs?"
"It's just Arya's. He seemed to have only taken a fancy to Arya. He said she was a swordsman who was rare in a century. However, he had only taught for a few days and could not see anything. But his swordsmanship was indeed so high that he could not imagine. I've never seen such a powerful person, and even Sir Dane back then, it was not so exaggerated."
"It's interesting, so interesting. Ned, I want this person. You must bring him to King's Landing City. I'm sure I must let those bastards who look up all day long to see what a real master is."
The banquet lasted for three days. Su Yuan could not understand it at all. The various wines, foods spent in these three days, and all the combined expenses could allow all the beggars in Winterfell to spend this winter. But none of the people attending the banquet were surprised by this. It can only be said that the decay of this medieval aristocratic style is incomprehensible.
Cately Cately didn't want to see Ned go to King's Landing. But what happened tonight strengthened Ned's belief in going. He knew that Robert was already surrounded by enemies. For his good friend, he had to go. Adeline knew that he could not convince Ned, so she could only be depressed and speechless.
The next day, a special guest came to Suyuan's yard.
"Madam." Su Yuan performed a completely unstandard etiquette. When he put it in the past, Caitlin would definitely glar at him fiercely and then leave angrily. But today, Caitlin seemed very patient and did not even look at Arya, who was timid. You know, since Arya learned the sword with Su Yuan, Caitlin had basically not given her a good face.
