Chapter 401: True Marriage Meeting

Chapter 401 True. Blind Date Conference

A few days apart.

In the morning, the warm sun was shining, and the climate in King's Landing was as hot and humid as ever.

On this day, the people of the whole city wore the most decent clothes and went out of their homes early.

The poor went out in groups to some inconspicuous church stations.

The nobles got up early and took their families to the few holy churches in the city.

Today is the annual Girls' Day.

Although the participants were only young girls who had not broken their virginity, it still attracted countless people who believed in the Seven Gods to pray sincerely.

It happened that the Three Women's Kingdoms were broken and the kingdom won the Narrow Sea War.

King Viserys I waved his hand and generously donated porridge houses on the streets and alleys on the grounds of the unborn twins of the crown prince.

Anyone who couldn't get enough food could get a portion of thick porridge and white bread with the residence permit issued by the capital garrison.

Although the poor people did not understand the role of the residence permit, they only regarded it as an ordinary solid wood sign.

But it did not delay the distribution of porridge at all, and every street was crowded with people.

The people who received the food were all grateful to the benevolent king and generously sent blessings to the unborn child of the crown prince.

For a while, the reputation of the royal family overwhelmed the importance of the Seven Gods' faith.

After all, white porridge tastes better than brown soup, and white bread is more delicious than the rat meat in the soup.

...

Red Castle.

Early in the morning, guests from all over the country surged, handed the girls to the nuns, and led them to the chapel behind Maegor's Tower to receive the baptism of the Virgin and the girl.

There were too many guests, and it was difficult to find a place to stay in the Red Castle.

Fortunately, the temperature was not too hot in the early morning.

No accidents such as heat stroke occurred.

The busyness continued until the sun was high, and the necessary procedures for the festival were initially completed.

Throne Hall.

On the cool black stone slabs, hundreds of noble lords looked forward to it, with their own children, nephews and relatives around them.

The focus of attention was the Iron Throne that stood high above.

Viserys was dressed solemnly, wearing a golden crown and a black crown, holding the family sword Blackfire with the tip of his sword pointing downward.

Under the throne that looked like a forest of swords, the sea serpent Corliss had a solemn face, acting as the king's spokesperson.

After a few polite words, dense drum beats sounded, and two white knights led people in.

Rhaegar looked normal, and walked in slowly with his hands behind his back.

"Prince..."

"Your Highness..."

Walking through the hallway, many familiar noble lords whispered greetings, with an extremely respectful attitude.

Rhaegar nodded slightly, and his emotions were very restrained.

Behind him, Helena and Daeron were one body away, standing on the left and right, losing their previous liveliness.

Helena was dressed very beautifully, with her long silver-gold hair tied behind her head, and wearing a gorgeous white skirt.

For special reasons, the clothes were very luxurious.

The headdress, necklace and various small accessories are all there, and each one has a special pattern.

For example, the high tower on the chest ornament, the three-headed red dragon on the necklace, the crescent eagle on the pearl hairpin, the golden rose...

The Targaryen and Seven Kingdoms emblems are all collected.

Helena had a stern face, and her purple eyes flickered with anxiety.

For a girl with an introverted personality, this kind of forced participation in a major occasion is very resistant.

"Are you okay?"

Rhaegar glanced slightly to the side, noticing her emotions.

Helena was stunned for a moment, and said weakly: "I feel like going crazy."

Hearing this, it was Rhaegar's turn to be stunned, and a black line appeared on his forehead: "Don't be afraid, it's just a formality."

Helena buried her head in her not-so-rich chest, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "I'm afraid I can't control it, and I want to bring the Dreamfire."

"Don't do this."

Rhaegar couldn't help but be speechless: "Don't force yourself. When Rhaenyra was your age, she had already started to tour the continent and rejected most of the noble men in the Seven Kingdoms."

It's hard to imagine that the little girl could say the cruel words of releasing the dragon in a helpless tone.

It's a pity that she is introverted and not calm enough when encountering things.

Rhaenyra, who has been an only child since childhood, has a strong personality.

Also forced marriage, Rhaenyra was famous in the Seven Kingdoms.

Jason and Tyran of Lannister almost had a duel between brothers, and Samwell of Blackwood stabbed the Earl of Bracken to death...

And the current Earl of Black Harbor, an old man over 60 years old who wants to eat young grass.

She almost crawled into the ground because of being humiliated by Rhaenyra in public.

To this day, the nobles in the Stormlands are still spreading jokes about that day.

Rhaegar recognized this kind of fighting ability.

He comforted the little girl a few words and walked to the front of the Iron Throne.

Rhaegar nodded to his father who was sitting at the top, walked to the sea snake and stood with his hands behind his back.

Helena knelt and saluted, holding the little Daeron and standing on the other side.

When everyone arrived, Viserys smiled a little insincerely and said in a loud voice: "Let's start!"

As soon as the voice came out, nobles walked out of the queue, either alone or with their nephews.

Most of these people were unmarried and young people of marriageable age.

Of course, there were also some widowed widowers who tried to win the princess's favor.

Helena pursed her lips, stood quietly, and looked at each man impatiently.

They were either middle-aged men in their thirties or teenage boys.

Some even walked out of the queue and introduced themselves as widows.

It was a hot and humid day, but Helena almost broke out in a cold sweat.

She unconsciously let go of little Daeron's hand and put her arm on a silver-gray bracelet that turned her wrist.

The bracelet was made of ordinary material, with exquisite patterns carved on it, and the scratches on the surface showed that it had been worn for a certain period of time.

The size was not suitable, and it was still tight on the slender wrist.

She glanced at Rhaegar, who was wearing a bracelet of the same style on his wrist behind his back.

"Huh~, hold it in."

Helena tried to maintain her appearance and secretly warned herself not to go crazy.

Otherwise, she was afraid that she would not be able to help herself and do something.

At this time, a fat and naive middle-aged man stepped out with a sincere smile: "Dear Majesty, the Rowan family extends sincere greetings to you."

On the pale yellow dress, there is a "white background with a golden tree" family emblem.

The Rowan family of Golden Tree City is one of the most important noble families in the River Reach.

The bloodline comes from the Greenhand Garth, and the family fiefdom includes the entire north of the River Reach, and the strength is quite strong.

Viserys looked at him with respect and smiled: "Lord Thaddeus, I am glad to see you today."

Thaddeus Rowan, a cheerful, smiling and generous nobleman, is loved and respected in the River Reach.

I heard that his wife died a few years ago, and he is still a bachelor.

Thinking of Alisson's repeated instructions, Viserys forced himself to chat with him for a few more words.

Below, Rhaegar and Corliss were like two wooden men, watching coldly.

Corliss glanced at him and said in a dull voice: "I bet he will be bald in two years."

"Lord Thaddeus is a good man and loyal enough to the royal family."

Rhaegar replied rationally, and then whispered: "If his eldest son is not married, there is still a chance."

Helena is only 13 years old.

Thaddeus is not old enough to be her father, and even if he is a father, he is not as old as the lord of the Riverland.

Corliss said disdainfully: "If I had known this would happen, I would have facilitated the marriage of Laenor and Princess Helena."

The marriage with Rhaenyra was broken, and the royal family strongly opposed the marriage with Velaryon.

Now it seems that it is better to fight for it again.

Rhaegar was displeased and mocked Laman: "I will not marry my sister to an old man, nor will I let her live a widow."

Corliss was full of confidence and said calmly: "Wait and see what kind of heroes can be selected for the event planned by the queen."

Rhaegar was silent.

He thought Alison was mentally ill.

Under the banner of caring for children, she did stupid things.

Obviously, all four children have become dragon riders, and their status is unbreakable.

But she still wanted more and planned her ridiculous so-called green party.

"Live well and unite as a family, isn't it good?"

Rhaegar glanced at Helena, who was like a kitten, and shook his head secretly in his heart.

It can only be said that identity and offspring saved Alison.

Give her an unshakable guarantee.

...

Banquet hall.

A similar scene was repeated, and the female guests gathered together.

Aegon was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was carried to a spacious seat.

His face was gloomy, and he buried his head in depression.

Alison did not show up, but entertained the guests in another corner of the hall.

Instead, he invited Rhaenyra and Lannar to sit on the soft couches on both sides.

"Princess..."

A noble girl of the river lord greeted softly, and then withdrew with her skirt lifted.

"May the Virgin and the Maiden bless you."

Rhaenyra stroked her belly and agreed with a warm smile.

After meeting more than a dozen girls in a row, it was inevitable that she felt a little tired.

Rhaenyra's beautiful eyes turned, and she leaned against the soft couch calmly, posing a comfortable posture.

She didn't want to attend, but couldn't bear her father's repeated requests.

I don't know what kind of love potion Alison gave him!

Lanar asked softly: "Rhaenyra, if you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest first."

Rhaenyra waved her hand: "It's okay, we can't give up halfway."

After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Aegon: "You have been choosing for so long, do you have any favorites?"

Once upon a time, others were the ones who looked for her.

Finally, the situation has changed.

Aegon drooped his eyelids and said: "I am sad, no matter how beautiful a beauty is, I can't catch my eye."

There are many women of the right age who came to meet him, and he was almost dazzled by the choices.

Not only did he like several tall girls from the West and the North, but he also liked their mature and plump mothers.

If the occasion was not wrong, he would have wanted to go down and chat with one or two.

However, when he thought of his mother's tough attitude towards him, Aegon had a rebellious mentality.

"I won't choose any of them, if you dare, kill me!"

Aegon thought indignantly.

The rigid education received by Alisen since childhood left a great shadow on Aegon's young heart that yearned for the milky white snow girl.

Even if he married a commoner or a prostitute, he would never marry a high tower.

It would not work even if the conqueror came!

...

In the noisy hall, the ladies chatted and chatted.

The servants brought drinks and ice cubes and provided rich services.

As time went on, male guests began to appear, and the band played cheerful music.

Lyonor sat at a dining table, keeping an eye on the development of the banquet.

"You really should try this plum cake, don't be so tense."

The gray-haired Lin Man held a plate of pastries and tasted them slowly and methodically.

Lionel raised his wine glass and said with a wry smile: "The war is not over yet, and the banquet is a bit too grand."

"Think about it, this is all for the reproduction of the royal bloodline."

Lin Man shook his head and recalled the past: "During the time of His Majesty Jaehaerys, his children could not escape the fate of being seen by each other."

Lionel nodded, feeling much more relaxed.

Looking around.

Otto was talking to Mond Hightower at another table.

And his eldest son Harwin was sitting alone in a corner of the banquet, with a wooden board wrapped around his legs.

None of them went to the throne room, but to the more chaotic banquet hall.

Harwin limped over.

Lionel said: "You should rest well."

"I'm used to being in the capital garrison."

Harwin frowned and leaned over to say: "There has been a lot of movement in Flea Bottom recently, and many gold cloaks have resigned for no reason."
