Bab 122: Chapter 122
Chapter 122 Ribbon
"Come on! Hobber, Crush that Dornishman!"
On the training ground of the Red Keep, Hobber Redwyne was wearing the armor with the help of his attendants while receiving the cheers from the nobles of the Reach.
"Hobber! Get rid of him!" Samwell also yelled in the crowd, fearing that the world would be less chaotic.
The development of the matter was even smoother than he expected. Hobber Redwin and Gerold Dayne, two vigorous young men, went directly to the arena for a fight at the slightest disagreement.
Of course, this is not a life-and-death duel, but it is enough to intensify the conflict between the two and fully demonstrate it in front of everyone.
This is simply an assist for Samwell's "scapegoat plan".
"Hobber! For the glory of the Reach! Kill the Dornishmen!" The two Tyrell brothers, Garlan and Loras, couldn't be seen when drinking tea , but now don't know where they came from .
Not only the two of them, but almost all the nobles of the Reach who came to King's Landing this time, Sir Emmon Cuy of Sunflower City, Sir Alekyne of Brightwater City, who is Samwell's uncle, but Earl Randyll of Hornhill didn't come, only a few vassal knights.
Samwell also knew them all. In the previous battle of Starfall City, these people all charged behind him.
They told Samwell that Lord Randyll was ill and could not come to King's Landing.
This is obviously an excuse.
But Samwell can understand his father, after all, he has an old grudge with King Robert.
In the Robert's rebellion , Robert's only defeat was given by Lord Randyll.
If they meet again, Robert will probably yell and fight Lord Randyll again when he gets drunk...
so it's better not to come.
"Who do you want to win?" Margaery asked with a smile while holding Natalie's hand.
"I..." Natalie didn't know how to answer.
She is the lord of Dorne, and Gerold Dane has just sworn allegiance to her. It stands to reason that she should stand on Dorne's side.
But...Lady Margery treats her so well, and Samwell is from the Reach ...Natalie suddenly fell into a tangle.
"I don't know..."
"How can you not know? These two knights are fighting for you."
" Then...then...then let them all win..."
All win? That's not all lose.
For a moment, Samwell didn't know whether Natalie's answer was wise or foolish, or...
Margaery laughed and said, "Natalie, you are too kind. There are winners and losers in the field, and it is impossible for all of them to win . "
But both can lose .
Samwell snickered.
Suddenly, he felt a little bit of the joy that "Littlefinger" Petyr Baelish felt when he hid in a dark corner and watched others fight to the death.
Is this the happiness of old coins ?
No no no.
Samwell quickly dismissed the thought.
How can I be an old coin like Littlefinger, I am a sunny boy.
"Lady Natalie." Gerold had finished dressing at some point, and rode to Natalie, bowed and said, "Can you please give me a token?" "Ah?"
Natalie was a little confused.
She didn't react until Margaery smiled and whispered something in her ear.
Today's Natalie wore a lovely tassel braid with pink ribbons wrapped around it. She took one of them and handed it to Gerold .
Gerold tied the ribbon around his wrist, and then said passionately:
"Thanks to the beautiful Lady Natalie, I will fight for your glory!"
Hobber watched from the side with his eyes burning, and ran over to ask for the token.
Natalie had to take another piece of silk and give it to him.
Finally, the two knights fighting for "Natalie's honor" entered the arena with their tokens.
Dang——
After a gong sounded, the two started to accelerate at the same time.
Tap-tap-tap-
The hooves of the horses were pounding, and the distance between the two knights was shortening crazily.
Natalie closed her eyes in horror.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, followed by the cheers and celebrations of the Dornishmen.
Natalie carefully opened her eyes, only to find that the knight Hobber was already lying on the ground, and the shield painted with the purple grape emblem flew far away, while Gerold was galloping on the field on a fine horse, Accepting the cheers of the crowd.
"Fool!"
Natalie heard someone from the Reach camp swearing in a low voice, but unfortunately she didn't know who sweared.
"Trash!"
Someone cursed again, and this time Natalie saw clearly that it was Sir Garlan of the Tyrell family.
She stuck out her tongue, looked away, and then saw Horas and his attendants running over to help Hobber up from the ground, but Hobber's helmet was out of shape and was stuck on his head and couldn't be removed. Holding Hobber's helmet and pulling it out, like pulling a carrot...
Natalie couldn't help laughing.
Just at this time, Gerold came to Natalie, thinking that the bright smile on the goddess's face was blooming for him, and his heart was filled with joy and pride.
"Lady Natalie, please allow me to dedicate this victory to you! Although this glory is far less dazzling than your beauty."
Natalie saw Gerold , politely pulled up her skirt, and said:
"Thank you, Sir Gerold ."
"Gerold Dayne!" Garlan Tyrell couldn't help shouting, "Come on, let me compete with you!"
Before Gerold had time to speak, Princess Arianne stood up and said,
"Sir garlan, do you want to fight for Miss Natalie?"
Garlan was already engaged, so he was stunned by these words for a while before he said, "I will fight for the Reach !"
Princess Arianne intentionally put on an aggrieved look, and said, "The Reach and Dorne have just reached peace, so it's not good for you to do this..."
Margaery stood up at this time Smooth things over: "Okay, brother, let's end today's contest, or the Dornish people will think we can't afford to lose. Sir Gerold , you are indeed an outstanding knight."
Gerold bowed to Margaery words .
The two sides did not continue to quarrel and left one after another.
In the end, only a group of people from the Redwyne family were still pulling carrots there.
...
Several Reach nobles returned to the garden and drank tea. It was not until the sun was sinking that Samwell took Natalie to bid farewell to the rest.
"Sam, are Hobber and Gerold pursuing me?"
On the way back, Natalie held Samwell's arm and asked with her head raised.
"Otherwise ,why are they fighting for you?" Samwell asked with a smile, "Which of these two do you like?"
" I don't like either."
"Why? Are they not good enough?"
"No way ..." Natalie kicked the stones under her feet, "Sir Hobber was born noble, but his speech was vague and seemed a bit silly... As for Sir Gerold , well, although he is also a Dayne , but I always find him weird, and his eyes always make me feel uncomfortable..."
"That's such a pity. Sir Hobber and Sir Gerold will be heartbroken when they hear the news." "
"Then don't tell them."
"Huh!!, you still want to raise fish."
"What kind of fish to raise?" Natalie looked up in doubt, with clear confusion in her eyes.
Samwell shook his head secretly, this girl mind should not be of such a high rank.
"It's nothing. Doesn't matter if you won't respond , let them have unrequited love."
"Okay!" Natalie nodded, but soon she seemed to finally realize that it was wrong, "Isn't this not good? If I keep silent, Sir Hobber and Ser Gerold will keep pursuing me... I'd better refuse them."
"Okay. "
But Natalie struggled again: "But...how should I refuse? ? To be honest, won't it hurt their hearts too much?"
"Simple." Samwell said with a smile, "Just give them a test that they cannot complete."
"A test that cannot be completed?"
"Yes For example, you can say that you only want to marry a knight who can conquer dragons."
"Good idea." Natalie smiled, but then she worried, "But what if, in case, he really conquered a dragon?"
"If someone can conquer a dragon, you should just marry them obediently."
"Oh——" Natalie pouted, seemingly displeased.
After turning a corner, Samwell stopped:
"Okay, your room is here, go to rest early."
"Yeah." Natalie hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Sam, can you subdue a dragon ?"
Samwell laughed loudly: "There are no dragons, silly girl." "
" What if there are any?"
"Then I will definitely beat it up."
After Samwell finished speaking, he rubbed Natalie's head messing her hair.
Natalie showed her teeth and claws to protest, but unfortunately it was useless.
...….
"Dark Star" Gerold returned to his residence, and the excitement in his heart could not be calmed down .
. After ordering the servants to prepare bath water, he came to the desk and sat down, picked up a pen and wrote a long letter to his father in Dorne.
' I will take back everything that is ours!'
He wrote so in the letter.
After writing the letter, Gerold began to undress to take a shower.
When he touched the ribbon on his wrist, He couldn't help showing a smug smile again. He untied the ribbon, held it up to his nose and smelled it.
A fresh and elegant violet fragrance.
Geru carefully put away the ribbon, took a shower, and changed into dry clothes. After packing it up, he came out to seal the letter with wax, and was about to find someone to mail it.
But when he opened the door, he found a pink ribbon slowly floating down from the crack of the door. He reached out to catch it, only to realize that it was exactly the same ribbon as the one Lady Natalie had given him before. Moreover, there seemed to be words on the ribbon—
tonight at ten o'clock, the godswood.
His breathing suddenly became rapid.
Is Lady Natalie asking me to meet secretly ?
"Oh, my dear Natalie , it turns out that you are still a hot and enthusiastic Dornish woman in your bones!"
Gerold held the ribbon under his nose and took a deep breath.
Oh, and that intoxicating violet scent!
