Chapter 122 Ribbons
"Come on! Hooper, kill the Dornish people!"
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.
"Hopper! Get rid of him!" Samwell also joined the crowd, yelling in fear of chaos.
The development of the matter was even smoother than he expected. Hopper Redwin and Gerald Dayne, two vigorous young men, went directly to the arena for a fight even if they disagreed.
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, Garland and Loras, couldn't see anyone when they were drinking tea just now, but now they don't know where they came from when they heard that there was going to be a contest. out.
Not only the two of them, but almost all the nobles of the Riverbend who came to King's Landing this time, Sir Eamon of Sunhouse City, Sir Allerken of Brightwater City, who is Samwell's uncle, but Earl Randyll of Hornhill did not. Come, only a few vassal knights.
Samwell also knows them all. Before the battle of Starfall City, these people all charged behind him.
They told Samwell that Earl Randyll was ill, so he could not come to King's Landing.
This is obviously an excuse.
But Samwell can understand his father, after all, he has an old grievance with King Robert.
In the War of the Reavers, Robert's only defeat was given by Earl Randyll.
If we meet again, Robert will probably yell and fight Earl Randyll again when he is drunk...
So it's better not to come.
"Who do you want to win?" Margaret held Natalie's hand and asked with a smile.
"I..." Natalie didn't know how to answer.
She is the lord of Dorne, and Gerald Dane has just sworn allegiance to her. It stands to reason that she should stand on Dorne's side.
But...Miss Margery treats her so well, and Samwell is from the River Bend...Natalie suddenly fell into a tangle.
"I do not know either…"
"How can you not know? These two knights are fighting for you."
"Then...then...then let them all win..."
Both win? That's not all lose.
Samwell didn't know for a while 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 martial arts field, and it is impossible to win all of them."
But you can lose both.
Samwell snickered aside.
Suddenly, he felt a little bit of the happy mood of "Littlefinger" Petyr Baelish when he hid in a dark corner and watched others fight to death.
Is this the happiness of Lao Yinbi?
No no no.
Samwell quickly shook off the thought.
How can I be an old Yin coin like Littlefinger, I am a sunny boy.
"Dear Miss Natalie." Geraldine had finished dressing at some point, and rode to Natalie before bowing, "Can you please give me a token?"
"Huh?" Natalie was a little confused.
It wasn't until Margaery smiled and whispered a few words in her ear that she realized it.
Today's Natalie is wearing a cute fringed braid with pink ribbons wrapped around it. She took one of them and handed it to Jello.
Jello tied the ribbon around his wrist, and then said impassionedly:
"Thank you beautiful Miss 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 off another ribbon and brought it to him.
Finally, the two knights fighting for "Natalie's honor" entered the arena with their tokens.
铛—
After a gong sounded, the two started to accelerate at the same time.
Tap Tap —
The hoofbeats of the horses were hurried, and the distance between the two knights was shortening crazily.
Natalie was so scared that she closed her eyes.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, followed by the Dornish people cheering and celebrating.
Natalie carefully opened her eyes, only to find that the Hopper knight was already lying on the ground, and the shield painted with the purple grape emblem flew far away, while Geraldine was galloping on the field on a fine horse, Accepting the cheers of the crowd.
"Fool!"
Natalie heard someone curse in a low voice from the Riverbend camp, but unfortunately she didn't know who cursed.
"Trash!"
Someone cursed again, Natalie saw clearly this time, it was actually Sir Garland of the Tyrell family.
She stuck out her tongue, looked away, and then saw Horace and his attendants running over to help Hopper up from the ground, but Hopper's helmet fell out of shape and was stuck on his head and couldn't be removed. Holding Hopper's helmet and pulling it out, like pulling a carrot...
Natalie couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, Geraldine 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.
"Miss Natalie, please allow me to dedicate this victory to you! Although its glory is far less dazzling than your beauty."
Natalie saw Gero now, and politely pulled up her skirt, saying:
"Thank you, Sir Gerald."
"Jero Dayne!" Garland Tyrell couldn't help shouting, "Come on, let me compete with you!"
Before Zero could speak, Princess Arianne stood up and said:
Garland is already engaged, so he was stunned by these words for a while before saying, "I'm fighting for the river bend!"
Princess Arianne intentionally put on an aggrieved look, and said, "Hewan and Dorne have just reached peace, so it's not good for you to do this..."
Margery stood up to smooth things over at this moment: "Okay, brother, let's stop today's contest, otherwise the Dornish people will think we can't afford to lose. Sir Gerald, you are indeed an outstanding knight."
Geraldine saluted Margaery in a gentlemanly manner.
The two sides did not continue to quarrel and left one after another.
In the end, only a group of Redwyne family members were still pulling carrots.
…
Several River Bend nobles returned to the garden and drank tea. It was not until the sun was sinking that Samwell took Natalie to say goodbye to the rest.
"Sam, are Hopper and Gero pursuing me?"
On the way back, Natalie held Samwell's arm and asked with her head raised.
"Otherwise why would they fight for you." Samwell asked with a smile, "Which of these two do you like?"
"I don't like any of them."
"Why? Are they not good enough?"
"Not really..." Natalie kicked the stones under her feet, "Sir Hopper was born noble, but his speech was vague and seemed a bit silly... As for Sir Gerald, well, although he is also a Dane , but I always feel that he is weird, and his eyes always make me feel uncomfortable..."
"That's such a pity. Sir Hopper and Sir Gerald will be heartbroken when they hear the news."
"Then don't tell them."
"Good guy, you still want to raise fish."
"What kind of fish?" Natalie looked up in doubt, with clear confusion in her eyes.
Samwell shook his head secretly, this girl should not be of such a high rank.
"It's nothing. Don't tell if you don't tell, let them have unrequited love."
"Okay!" Natalie nodded, but soon she seemed to finally realize that it was wrong to do so, "Isn't this not good? If I don't say it all the time, Sir Hopper and Sir Gerald will keep pursuing I...or I'd better refuse them."
"OK."
But Natalie got tangled up again: "But...how should I refuse? Would it hurt their hearts too much if I said it directly?"
"Simple." Samwell said with a smile, "Just give them an impossible test."
"A test that cannot be completed?"
"Yes. For example, you can say that you only want to marry a knight who can conquer a dragon."
"Good idea." Natalie smiled happily, but then she worried again, "But what if, what if, he really conquered a giant dragon?"
"Everyone can conquer the dragon, so you should marry obediently."
"Oh—" Natalie pouted, seemingly displeased.
After turning a corner, Samwell stopped:
"Okay, your room is here, go to bed early."
"Hmm." Natalie hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Sam, can you subdue a dragon?"
Samwell laughed: "There are no dragons now, silly girl."
"What if there are more?"
"Then I will beat it up."
After Samwell finished speaking, he rubbed Natalie's head and messed up her hair.
Natalie barked her teeth and claws to protest, but it was useless.
"You dropped the ribbons."
"It's loose anyway, throw it away."
"oh."
…
"Dark Star" Geraldine returned to his residence, the excitement and excitement in his heart could not be calmed down.
After ordering the servant 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 belongs to us!
He wrote in the letter.
After writing the letter, Jello began to undress to take a shower.
When he touched the ribbon on his wrist, Jie Luo couldn't help showing a smug smile again.
He untied the ribbon, put it under his nose and smelled it.
It is a fresh and elegant violet scent.
Jello carefully put away the ribbon, took a shower, and changed into dry clothes.
After packing 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.
Jello reached out to catch it, only to realize that it was exactly the same ribbon as the one Miss Natalie had given him before.
Moreover, there seems to be words on the ribbon—
Ten o'clock tonight, Godswood.
Jie Luo's breathing suddenly became rapid.
This is Miss Natalie asking me to meet next month?
Jello's heart beat faster suddenly.
"Oh, my dear Miss Natalie, looking at your usual reserved appearance, it turns out that you are still a hot and enthusiastic Dornish woman in your bones!"
Jello put the ribbon under his nose and took a deep breath.
Oh, and that intoxicating violet scent!
