The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Chapter 537 King and King 13

Sow Point in the old royal territory is the fiefdom of the Hogg family. Their family castle is a towering tower with a wall more than eight feet thick (more than two meters, less than three meters).

However, at its highest point, the highest point of the castle today, what flies is not the clan flag of the Hog family, but the Targaryen three-headed dragon flag and Kleb's marigold flag.

The red three-headed dragon on the black flag seems to be soaring, showing the former dominance of the Targaryen family. The golden marigolds on the fluttering blue flag seem to be in bloom, forming a sharp contrast with the majestic flag next to it.

Duke Mace Tyrell, who had just gotten off the carriage, straightened his fat waist. He looked up at the black flags and blue flags fluttering in the wind, with a trace of doubt and thought in his eyes.

He suddenly thought of something. The flags of Targaryen and Kleb always seemed to appear together. When did this start?

He tried hard to search for memories in his mind, but couldn't remember it for a while.

"Good day, Prime Minister."

At this moment, the voice of Princess Arianne Nameros Martell interrupted the Duke of Inflatable Fish's sudden and brief thoughts.

Princess Arianne's expression was different from usual politeness, which made Prime Minister Mace instantly alert.

He frowned slightly, looked at her for a moment, and said, "Good day."

At the same time, he was wondering, could this Martell woman be plotting against his son? This is not okay, he will never allow his son to have anything to do with the princess of Dorne, hum!

Thinking of this, he glanced at her, touched his beard and said: "Your father should come to the Red Keep as soon as possible to meet the Targaryen Princess and the Regent."

Seeing how arrogant he suddenly became, Princess Arianne's good impression of him for generously taking out five thousand gold dragons disappeared immediately.

The corner of her mouth curled up in a mocking arc, and a trace of disdain flashed in her black and white eyes: "If his health permits, Prince Doran would already be assisting the regent in managing the kingdom in the Red Castle. This is something that is known to all the seven countries, isn't it, Tilly You... Prime Minister?”

Prime Minister Mace's cheeks swelled: "I agree that Prince Doran will better safeguard the laws of the kingdom."

"Hmm, I agree."

Princess Arianne shrugged: "However, given the current situation, as his heir, I naturally have to serve the kingdom on his behalf."

"I will always pay attention to your performance, heir to Prince Doran." After saying that, Prime Minister Mace turned his face to the other side, intending to end the unpleasant conversation between the two.

Princess Arianne smiled indifferently: "I am also paying attention to how to be a prime minister of the kingdom, the Duke of Highgarden."

Prime Minister Metz's bulging cheeks turned red, he turned his head, trembling his lips and said: "You!"

He couldn't believe his ears. How dare she care about his position as prime minister? !

Feeling his anger, Princess Arianne smiled even more happily. She gently shook her hair: "I went over first. We have been separated for several days. I miss His Highness Green very much."

After saying that, she swayed away, leaving Prime Minister Metz standing there, his face flushed with anger.

Looking at her leaving back, Prime Minister Mace became even more angry, this dissolute Dornish woman!

"Your Majesty Prime Minister."

Footsteps came from the other side, and Count Matus, Grand Maester Pycelle, Count Gales and others walked over together.

One of the advantages of the Duke of Mace is that he can maintain his majesty as the supreme leader of the Reach at all times. He said "hmm", tapped his chin, and said calmly: "Everyone, good morning."

…………

Entering the makeshift competition ground, Prime Minister Metz first glanced at the young people waiting to go into battle not far away, and he stroked his beard with pleasure.

Then, he frowned slightly and glanced at the soldiers who were raising their spears in confusion, but without going into too much detail, he walked towards the high platform, and other imperial ministers followed behind him.

On the high platform, Princess Arianne was chatting and laughing almost next to Green. Prime Minister Mace, who had just walked up, couldn't help but snorted in his heart.

In his opinion, Arianne is just a lucky Martell woman, and now she has no other means besides using her beauty to seduce her.

The Duke of Metz was filled with disdain when he thought that she had coveted the position of prime minister before.

He thought that he could sit firmly in the position of Prime Minister because of his outstanding talents. How could a dissolute Dornish woman easily shake him.

Sooner or later he would teach these arrogant Dornishmen a lesson!

"Prime Minister Metz, good day everyone." Green's voice broke through Prime Minister Metz's thoughts. He was still so kind to people.

"Hey, Regent Green, haha, we haven't seen each other for several days!" Prime Minister Metz immediately put on an enthusiastic expression, and his hearty laughter echoed on the high platform.

Everyone also greeted each other, and on the surface they looked like a warm and harmonious family.

After everyone sat down in their respective positions, Green raised his right hand slightly and made a gesture. Upon seeing this, the herald standing in front of the high platform immediately waved the flag in his hand.

Woo————Woo————Woo————

Kleb's low and long bugle sound suddenly sounded, and then... a dense sound of horse hooves came from far to near, and hundreds of trainee knights participating in the martial arts competition came riding their horses.

Finally, they tightened their reins and stopped neatly under the high platform. Everyone raised their heads and looked up at the high platform.

In the morning light, the golden armor on Green's body shone with dazzling light, and the blue cape on his shoulders moved with the wind.

"My warriors."

Green's eyes slowly swept across the faces of the people below, and his voice was loud and clear, as if there was a power that penetrated people's hearts: "I, and the ministers beside me, will witness your heroic appearance in the arena together. May the warrior (one of the seven gods) grant you fearlessness and strength."

As he said, he stretched out his hand to the left, and a blue robe immediately strode over, holding a double-arc longbow with a black bow body in his hand, and the other stood aside with a quiver, ready to provide arrows at any time.

After seeing this longbow that looked like a work of art, the well-informed Prime Minister Mace opened his eyes wide and murmured, "This... seems to be a dragon bone bow?"

"Warrior Crab!"

Green drew his bow and put an arrow on it. Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the arrow, causing a small commotion below, but order was quickly restored.

"Unmatched!"

As Green's voice fell, with a whoosh, an arrow shot out like lightning.

Swish, whoosh, whoosh...

One arrow after another, each arrow made a numbing sound of breaking through the air, leaving only a trail of afterimages.

In the continent of Westeros, "seven" represents blessing. After Green shot seven arrows, he stopped and handed over the dragon bone bow.

Others on the platform couldn't help but walk forward to find out. Prime Minister Mace looked into the distance, wondering what Green was shooting at.

Soon, several light cavalrymen came with long handles of broken spears held high, shouting excitedly.

Everyone came back to their senses. The seven arrows shot by Green actually accurately hit the seven spears buried at the other end of the field, breaking all the spear heads.

Crazy shouts broke out below.

"Long live the Regent!"

"Long live the Regent!"

"Long live the Regent!"

The shouts of the crowd were like surging waves, one after another, as if to overturn the entire arena.

Prime Minister Mace was still standing on the edge of the platform, looking at it in disbelief. This must be at least a thousand feet away... I don't know why, he suddenly felt flustered, but fortunately he was able to stay calm.

Princess Arianne, who was standing on the left, was also completely shocked by Green's archery skills. She stood there, squeezing her legs under her skirt. Gods... This man seemed to be a living legendary knight.

Her body trembled, her fullness rose and fell slowly, and she finally exhaled.

Woo--Woo--Woo--As the trumpet sounded again, the tournament at Sow Corner began.

The participants in the competition were all the most outstanding apprentice knights in the Crab territory. Although the scale was small, the competition was extremely exciting.

The apprentice knights showed their skills on the field. Some of them had superb marksmanship, some were skilled in horsemanship, and some were amazingly powerful or very agile. Every confrontation made people excited.

The entire tournament lasted about two hours. In addition to the champion, Green also selected eleven apprentice knights with outstanding performance. His sword touched their shoulders, and he personally canonized them as knights and rewarded each of them with a full set of gold-plated armor.

…………

The sumptuous lunch prepared for the tournament was held in the main castle of Sow Corner, and Green took Prime Minister Mace and other royal ministers to the Duke's tent in the Crabbe Camp.

Entering the tent, facing the other side of the door, a girl sat upright, her waist straightened, her hands folded on her skirt, sitting very elegantly.

And standing next to her was... the fearless Barristan? !

Others couldn't help but stop their steps, only Green continued to move forward, and finally stood on the other side of the girl, with one hand on the back of the chair and a smile on his face.

At least it was grander than the tournament held for Stark...The Duke of Inflatable Fish was thinking about finding an opportunity to hold another Prime Minister's tournament, and then he stopped with everyone in confusion, and his eyes moved forward.

For a moment, Prime Minister Mace's eyes widened and blinked.

Silver hair...purple eyes...

Prime Minister Mace blinked again, his lips trembling slightly: "This...she...could she..."

An amazing guess emerged in his mind, but he was not sure. Just as he was hesitating, Green tapped his chin towards him. This small action was like a thunder.

Adding the girl's inhuman beauty, these are obviously the characteristics of Targaryen women...his breathing suddenly stagnated, and his heart began to beat violently.

Prime Minister Mace became inarticulate because of excitement. He stammered: "You, you, you are Tan..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Princess Arianne's anxious voice. She took a step forward tremblingly, her eyes fixed on the silver-haired girl not far away: "Are you Princess Daenerys?"

Daenerys nodded gently, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she whispered: "Good day, my lords."

"Gods!"

Hearing her confirmation, Princess Arianne could no longer suppress her excitement and wanted to move forward, but was suddenly pushed away by Prime Minister Mace's big butt, and could not help but stagger.

Prime Minister Mace had already knelt in front of Daenerys, with tears in his eyes: "My princess, you are finally back, may the gods bless you!"
