#281 - Chapter 15: The Royal Wedding (Part 1)

The Dornishmen of the South are known for their bravery and skill in battle. Under the command of Oberyn, they are even more unstoppable, advancing triumphantly and conquering fifteen border castles in succession. The two sides engaged in a fierce back-and-forth battle in the Prince's Pass to Summerhall area. This protracted war lasted for more than a year, but both sides seemed to be slightly exhausted. Nowadays, large-scale battles are few and far between, and the number of participants in each battle usually does not exceed three thousand. Basically, after three to five days of fighting, there would be a truce for more than ten days.

It must be admitted that the Golden Company's combat effectiveness is indeed very strong, and they are able to maintain a steady upper hand even when facing enemies twice their size. Kevan had no choice but to retreat to the Kingswood line, while Garlan led his troops back to Brightwater Keep.

Randal Tarly of the Southern Line also tried his best to barely maintain the battle line in the area from theBlueburn toBlackcrown.

Time passed quickly, and it was the day of the King's wedding. The people of King's Landing began to celebrate, offering their blessings, because the generous Tyrell family distributed free food throughout the city.

As the King's procession made its way to the Great Sept of Baelor, the people on both sides of the road cheered, "Long live Queen Margaery! Long live the King!"

As the Captain of the Kingsguard, Jaime was responsible for the defense work of the wedding celebration. Seeing his own son get married, he naturally showed the smile of an old father. But when he turned around, he saw the most eye-catching team in the entourage. Liu Yuan rode in a large cart pulled by mammoths, with ten giants accompanying on each side. His style far surpassed today's protagonist. What made him helpless was that Tyrion was also on the elephant cart, shamelessly saying, "The terrain here is high, I can see more clearly." What else could he do? Didn't he see Tywin also pretending not to see it?

Arriving at the square in front of the Great Sept, in order to express their firm belief in the Seven Gods and their full inner piety, many nobles chose to dismount and walk towards the magnificent and solemn Great Sept. Liu Yuan naturally cooperated very well and got off the cart, walking side by side with his sister Lyanna. Lyanna intimately holding her brother's strong arm, while confidently entrusting her two adorable babies to the burly giant guards beside her to take care of.

Mag and Wun Wun gently picked up a child each and walked behind the group. At this time, another giant guard at the end of the line glanced at the children in their hands, looking slightly hesitant, but finally decisively stretched out his arm and picked up the petite Tyrion like catching a chicken, carefully holding him in his palm. Tyrion was frightened by this sudden move, shouting continuously, "No! Don't do this! I'm not a little kid, I don't need you to carry me!"

However, the giant just scratched his furry head, showing a blank and at a loss expression. After all, it is indeed a bit difficult for a giant to distinguish between a normal child and a dwarf. In addition, Liu Yuan had issued a clear instruction to bring the children up the steps, so the giant hesitated for a moment before ignoring Tyrion's hysterical cries and steadily carried him towards the steps ahead.

Liu Yuan didn't care about them, Lyanna was already laughing so hard that she couldn't stand up straight. Tyrion, who had no choice but to accept it, looked like he had lost all hope in life. Even someone as thick-skinned as him couldn't bear this large-scale social death. But this was just a small interlude.

The crowd arrived at the Great Sept, and the giant guards were left outside, mainly because the door was too small for them to enter without crawling.

Today's great hall was decorated very solemnly, with hundreds of nobles and their families standing neatly on the surrounding steps. Seven huge statues of gods stood on seven high platforms, with groups of three high priests standing on each side, holding sacred objects and silently chanting the Seven Gods' prayers. On the outer circle stood a circle of young boys and girls, singing hymns to the gods in childish voices.

The entire hall exuded solemn and reverent, and people involuntarily chose to be quiet, even the children would not make noise.

Accompanied by the melodious bells, Margaery entered the hall under the gaze of everyone. She gently supported the arm of Mace Tyrell, and slowly walked into the hall. Mace Tyrell placed Margaery's hand into Joffrey's hand, and then smiled and returned to his mother's side.

Liu Yuan's position was very close to them, and he noticed Lady Olenna glancing at him inadvertently, and he also nodded politely in return.

Joffrey's wedding was obviously more upscale than Robb's, and was presided over by the High Septon himself. Under the huge seven-pointed star stained glass window, Joffrey placed his gorgeous cloak on Margaery.

The High Septon tied a band inlaid with gold thread and pearls on their hands, chanting, "We are here to witness Margaery of the Tyrell family and Joffrey of the Lannister and Baratheon families. Body, mind, and soul united as one. Anyone who interferes with their marriage will be cursed by the gods!"

Joffrey turned around and said loudly, "With this kiss, I offer my love, forever." Then he kissed Margaery passionately, and the hall resounded with warm applause.

After the wedding ceremony, a grand and luxurious banquet followed. The guests got up and once again crossed the bustling and lively streets of King's Landing, returning to the magnificent Red Keep.

In fact, whether it is an Eastern or Western wedding, the ending stage is similar. In order to organize this wedding ceremony, the royal family and the Tyrell family spared no expense, carefully preparing as many as seventy-seven dishes to entertain the guests. The banquet hall was filled with a rich aroma, and people sang, laughed, and enjoyed the delicious food and wine. The beautiful and charming bride Margaery, wearing a gorgeous dress, accompanied by King Joffrey, gracefully walked among the guests.

However, behind this atmosphere of joy and peace, an unknown undercurrent was brewing. The seemingly inconspicuous Master of Whisperers Varys was now staring intently at the Thorn Queen Olenna, with a glimmer of elusive cunning in his eyes.

At this moment, Liu Yuan was leisurely strolling in the garden with his sister and children. Suddenly, Duke Tywin and Queen Cersei walked towards them. Tywin said with a sullen face, "Marquis Garon, please stay for a moment, I think we need to talk. Cersei, you can accompany Lady Like to walk around."
