Chapter 160 Renis Saves Her Husband

August, the first day of the lunar month.

The River Valley Tournament was held on time.

Inside the white city wall, there was an oval-shaped tournament building, and people poured in at the gate.

There were many people, and it was densely packed.

In the morning, ten o'clock.

Dong Dong Dong!

The bells in the clock tower rang, and the audience seats in the tournament were full of people.

In the VIP seats.

A cold beauty with long chestnut hair came in, supported by a group of female nobles.

"Lady Jenny."

Rhaenys, dressed in a dark blue dress, greeted politely.

The River Valley Tournament was announced to the Seven Kingdoms, and Lady Jenny, as the Duchess of the Eagle's Nest, was naturally invited.

And because of the almost clear opposition between the Eagle's Nest and River Valley.

Not being there means weakness.

"I thought you would deal with the pirates of the Three Women's Kingdom in the Stone Steps Islands, Princess Rhaenys."

Jenny pretended to be surprised, and her sharp tongue was as sharp as ever.

"That's a man's business. I'm just a spectator wherever I go."

Rhaenys' tone was flat, and she even had time to take a sip of wine.

When the two met for the first time, her evaluation of each other was.

An old maid with nowhere to release her energy.

She would confront anyone she saw.

The taunting didn't work, and Jenny withdrew her hands in boredom, rolled up her skirt and sat down.

Time passed bit by bit.

More and more people were in the VIP seats, and the contestants in the arena were ready to fight.

The prince of River Valley Town still didn't show up.

Everyone was getting impatient, and the people in the audience glanced at the VIP seats from time to time.

Boom--

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of raging wind tearing the sky, and there seemed to be thunder in the clear sky.

The noble lords in the audience looked up in surprise.

"Hiss--"

A majestic dragon with bronze scales all over its body and a body as big as a mountain broke through the thin clouds and mist and plunged down from a thousand meters high.

The noble lords were shocked.

The bronze dragon was more than a hundred meters long, with a pair of rock-like brown wings covering the sky.

It swooped down over the arena.

They were like frogs at the bottom of a well, and all they could see was a piece of bronze.

"Land, Womithor!"

A deep, magnetic voice sounded, echoing in everyone's ears.

"Hiss--"

Womithor raised his head and roared, folded his wings and landed with a bang.

The sound was deafening, and the crowd could only see the smoke and sparks produced when the dragon landed.

"Hiss!!"

A topaz-colored dragon followed closely behind, turning rapidly in mid-air, and landed flexibly on the high wall on one side of the arena.

In full view of the crowd.

Rhaenyra, wearing a slim dragon-riding suit, jumped off the dragon's back, her long silver-gold hair braided in front of her neck, dressed neatly.

Two carrot-heads climbed down one after the other.

Rhaenyra held one in each hand and walked straight to the VIP seat.

They had been traveling for several days.

Away from Alicent's sight, the two half-brothers became much closer.

Her eldest sister's majesty was growing stronger day by day.

Boom!

Wormithor crawled towards the arena, his folded wings like two guillotines, hitting the ground with a rumbling sound.

Under the shouting of the noble lords.

The broad back of the bronze dragon was just parallel to the high wall of the arena.

Wormithor lowered his dragon head, leaned sideways and put his shoulder blades against the high wall, forming a convenient place for the rider to lower his back.

A tacit understanding over a long period of time.

Aemon untied the chain and got off the dragon's back with ease.

"Be careful, uncle."

Turned back and supported Viserys, who was in backache.

Viserys held his little daughter and struggled to open his legs.

It is not easy to control a dragon, nor is it easy to ride a dragon.

"I'm fine."

Viserys forced a smile.

Riding a dragon is fun, but I won't do it next time.

Aemon shrugged helplessly and led the way to the VIP seat.

Uncle is just lame.

"Aemon!"

Lanar stood up to greet him.

Seeing that he was fine, she was finally relieved.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Aemon expressed his gratitude, which caused a disgusted roll of the eyes.

Shut up and sit on the side seat.

His Royal Highness is not talkative. His voice change has started to change in a good direction recently, so he needs to take care of his voice.

The king and the prince arrived, and the tournament officially began.

Viserys first said a few polite words to show the king's dignity and push the atmosphere to a climax.

Aemon then spoke.

Johanna, the housekeeper, and Maester Mukun stayed behind the scenes and sent someone to deliver three sets of armor hanging on the rack.

The middle set of armor is bronze, originally orange-red, and looks like a heavy plate armor. Wearing it on the body is like wearing an iron mountain.

The left and right sets of armor are white with green, and the style is lighter and simpler, which enhances flexibility.

[Bronze Armor] exchanged on the panel and rune armor mixed with bronze bells.

Before Aemon went to King's Landing, the bronze sacred tree produced a third bronze bell, and it was used with the broken rune giant sword to create two sets of rune armor.

"Everyone, the top three of this tournament can choose to wear armor and swear to become my rune iron guard!"

Aemon stood in front of the crowd with high spirits, using the skills of the binding spell, and his voice was particularly loud.

A dignified prince should have a grand show.

Especially in 115AC, my mother, Lady Rhea, died in an accidental fall from a horse while hunting in this year.

With a full-time guard, you can protect your loved ones closely.

"Rune Guard?"

The contestants had different attitudes, but all of them were eyeing the three priceless mysterious armors.

The number of spectators and contestants at the Riverdale Tournament was not as large as that of the King's Landing Tournament.

But the total number of participants was not small either.

In addition to the locals in the valley, most of them came from the king's territory, the Hejian territory, and the Stormland, and some people from the Hewan, the Western and Northern territory took boats through the port.

His Highness occupied half of the valley, and the news spread throughout the seven kingdoms.

Many people have the mentality of watching the fun.

Soon, Emon's speech ended.

The reward conditions are also relaxed. The top three can choose to swear to become rune guards, or choose a large sum of money.

"You guys, won't you fight for it?"

Emon teased.

Gonsall and Sir Ryan smiled at each other and entered the game.

William and Adrian looked solemn and followed the scene.

They are all members of the escort team of His Highness the Prince.

The first two old guys have fiefs and families, and they are reluctant to swear that they will not marry, not have fiefs and children.

Both young people are second sons of the family, and they don’t have much concern and are more willing to make progress.

"Imon, would it be too swagger?"

Lanar leaned into his ear.

Yimon glanced at his uncle who said nothing and said with a smile: "Higu Town is in ruins, so take the opportunity to pick a few good players."

Not half of the nobles in the valley hung the two-part banner, even if the rule took effect.

Each family must start transfusions to Hegu Town and bind their interests to each other.

At the same time, we recruit the second sons and illegitimate sons of the nobles from the valley and even the seven countries to integrate them into a group of top-quality second sons.

Only with these two groups of people can the benefits be considered to be maximized.

Lanar was very helpless and worried that he would annoy the king.

"You have your own guard and I will take Sir Steve away."

Viserys had a complicated expression and agreed to this matter.

Steve was stunned for a moment.

Is the eight-year expatriation work finally over?

"You will protect my daughter and heir from the future, Sir Steve."

Viserys ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Steve quickly reacted and stood behind Renella.

The prince and the princess will be together sooner or later.

This honest man thought of this.

Nympho

The martial arts competition was full of lively for three consecutive days.

The contestants competed from hundreds to dozens, pushing the topic of winning the championship to the top.

Once there are more people, it will drive the economy of Hegu Town.

The eliminated contestants did not leave and stayed in River Valley Town to wander around without doing anything.

The general affairs of the Internal Affairs are first and can provide the contestants and their attendants with a sumptuous food for seven days.

If someone has no place to stay, they will also provide cheap and affordable rental residences.

For a time, a large number of second sons of nobles and wandering knights emerged in the city of He Valley.

In the competition venue.

Emon leaned his body and whispered to Johanna.

at the same time.

Mrs. Reya came from Fury Stone City and showed up on her last day.

"lady."

"lady."

Jane is arrogant and even if she says hello, she won't lose.

Mrs. Reya's eyes flashed, and she felt more pity in her heart.

This river valley town martial arts competition is over, and Eagle Nest City's rule over the valley is about to end.

"Mrs. Reya."

Jensef was present, dressed in a relatively plain manner, and was too close to him due to his poor identity.

Mrs. Lei Ya saw it and said on purpose, "It won't be long before you can go back to Fushishi City."

Jenseph's face turned pale and she looked at Jane nervously.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

Say this in private!

Jane's eyes changed, full of vigilance and hostility.

"My naming day is coming, and your father and brother will participate."

Mrs. Lei Ya was very calm.

After arguing with Jenny Elin, he saw the king sitting in the main seat.

"His Majesty."

Mrs. Reya greeted her normally.

Viserys had to get up and smiled, "Long time no see, Mrs. Reya."

"Um."

Mrs. Reya is neither salty nor light.

Seeing this, Viserys' scalp was numb and he smiled hard: "Damon's business..."

He wanted to comfort this brother and sister and say something fair.

"No need to mention him!"

Mrs. Reya interrupted and simply said, "If you want to express your apology, you might as well agree to let me divorce him."

"That won't work. Your marriage has been recognized by the Seven Gods!"

Viserys must not agree.

"Since that's the case, if anything, you can talk to my incompetent son."

Mrs. Reya glanced sideways and ended the chat.

Viserys's face turned blue and white, and he sighed helplessly.

He was almost psychologically shady about this younger sibling.

Every time I meet, I will divorce if I open my mouth no more than three sentences.

But Westeros has no tradition of divorce.

Isn't it meant that he, his father Berlon, his grandfather, and even his grandmother Alishan, who matched him up, were all wrong.

By then, the royal family will be wiped out.

Sitting down, Viserys was in a very bad mood and picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Damn Damon! !

Time passes minute by minute.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Ding Ding Ding!

The referee rings the gong, indicating the birth of the champion.

It's not someone else, but it's Cohen Cobrey from Xinsu City.

In the eyes of Emon who wanted to kill the sword, this guy presented Lanar with the crown of love and beauty.

"This crown belongs to you, the noble Miss Lanar."

Cohen rode a white horse and wore a white robe.

"Thank you, Sir Cohen."

Lanar accepted it calmly and turned around and smiled proudly at Yimon.

There was no expression under the Prince's Hall.

Lanar smiled happier and returned to his seat to tease the jealous little man.

Soon, the top three of the tournament came on stage to receive their awards.

Unexpectedly, only one of the three was from the Riverdale line.

The ranking order was:

Coin Corbray from Heartland, Robb Rivers, the bastard from the Riverlands, and Adrian Redford from the Red Fort.

"Brother, good job!"

Jansif's face flushed, cheering for her brother.

Adrian smiled shyly, his eyes unable to hide his pride.

"Are you willing to put on rune armor and swear allegiance to me!?"

His Royal Highness looked at them.

"I do!"

Robb Rivers was the first to kneel on one knee, and excitement appeared on his serious face.

"Well, swear to me."

Aemon's mouth curled up slightly.

He remembered that this resolute young man with black hair and black eyes was from the Blackwood family, a great family in the Riverlands, and was the bastard of Earl Blackwood.

In the Riverlands, he was called "Carrot Rivers".

During the Dance of the Dragons, Robb led 300 archers to participate in the "Fish Feeding War" and served the Black Party.

When the Green Party's Earl Leford tried to exclude the ravens and asked for help from the Regent Aemond stationed in Harrenhal, Robb shot down all the ravens with his superb archery skills.

It is said that there were more than a dozen.

Therefore, he was also known as the best sharpshooter in Westeros at that time.

He is a rare SSR.

He is also a commander-type talent.

Robb placed one hand on his chest and swore the oath of the Kingsguard.

Aemon drew out the family sword "Lament", accepted his loyalty, and presented one of the emerald rune armor.

"Prince, we are willing to join the Rune Guard!"

Coin and Adrian took a deep breath, knelt on one knee at the same time, and swore.

Aemon first completed the ceremony for Adrian and gave him the second emerald rune armor.

When it was Cohen's turn, His Royal Highness replaced the family sword with "Lady of the Void" and placed it on his shoulder.

Cohen looked at the familiar Valyrian steel sword, and the corners of his mouth twitched secretly.

Fortunately, the result was good.

Aemon sent the best [Bronze Armor] and said solemnly: "You are the champion of the tournament and the oldest of the three. I will appoint you as the first captain of the Rune Guard."

"Yes, Prince!"

Cohen put on the bronze armor and knelt on one knee again.

This bronze armor is not as heavy as it looks.

It is lighter than the steel armor worn during the competition, but has extremely strong defense.

Because of its special nature, it is specially given to the captain of the Rune Guard.

The appointment is over.

Gunthor and others came back.

William looked at his good brother Adrian with envy.

"Don't be discouraged, there is still a long way to go."

Aemon encouraged appropriately.

William is a little master without exaggeration, but he lost because of his young age and lack of experience.

A few more years of hard work, and you'll be good when you're in your twenties.

Gunthor and Sir Llane don't need to be encouraged.

Two old hands, they're all good together.

Clap clap clap...

The noble lords enjoyed the show and applauded.

Just with a Rune Guard and mysterious armor, this trip to the River Valley Tournament was not in vain.

...

Summer Hall.

A banquet was being held, and Aemon called the three newly promoted Rune Guards to his side.

"Adrian, you will take over the eight hundred city defense reserves of River Valley."

"Cohen, you will be the commander of the three hundred valley knights."

Aemon appointed them one by one, and when it came to Robb, who was full of expectations, he said seriously: "Many noble second sons and illegitimate sons are willing to serve. You will select those with good character and clean family history to form a second son group."

"Is there a limit on the number of people?"

Robb was a little unsure.

"The more the better, but they must be loyal."

"Yes, Prince!"

Robb's face was solemn, and his emerald armor shone.

He was the illegitimate son of the previous Earl of Blackwood. He worked as a farmer in the Stone Mill since he was a child. He was recognized and returned to Blackwood Vale to receive knight education when he was a teenager.

The current Earl of Blackwood is his eldest brother, Earl Samwell Blackwood.

In peacetime, he has no place to use his skills.

I heard that Prince Aemon planned to occupy the Vale and that his biological father Prince Daemon participated in the Battle of the Stepstones.

He rushed to the Vale without stopping and successfully won the runner-up and archery champion of the tournament.

He wanted to improve so much!

"Go down."

Aemon smiled lightly and imitated his uncle's posture.

There are still 1,200 longbowmen in the Vale Town, temporarily managed by Gunthor.

Although Robb is a sharpshooter, his background is more suitable for forming the Second Sons.

In the future, the Second Sons, eager to make achievements, will definitely be a sharp blade in attacking the free trade city-state on the other side of the strait.

"Aemon! Aemon!"

Suddenly, Lanar's voice sounded, calling anxiously.

Aemon was surprised and looked over: "What happened?"

There were many distinguished guests in the Summer Hall. He must have discovered something important, which made him rude.

"A letter from the Stepstones!"

Lanar looked nervous: "My mother received a message from a raven. My father was seriously injured in the encounter and was unconscious."

"Where is Aunt Rhaenys?"

Aemon was shocked.

Lanar: "My mother went to find Melias."
