Chapter 336 I want to sit in the middle
Chapter 336 I want to sit in the middle
The next day.
The audience in the arena was crowded with people, and the momentum was even greater than yesterday.
Many noble children who were not interested in the martial arts tournament were attracted by Crown Prince Rhaegar and Prince Ranger Daemon and came here.
It’s a pity that they can’t see the knights’ confrontation between the uncle and nephew yet.
The broad high platform is now filled with a handful of the most powerful people in the kingdom.
Viserys sat on the throne, with Allison and Otto on his left and right, and a group of royal ministers behind him.
On the left and right sides of the lower head are the sea serpents Corlys and Rhaenys, Daemon and Lannal respectively.
Both parties were elders, sitting next to Viserys.
Rhaegar and Rhaenyra arrived late and walked naturally to the front row.
They are adopted daughters and must be raised by Rhaenyra until they reach adulthood. They rarely see their biological parents.
Can these words be uttered in this situation?
The results of managing the valley gave birth to her ambitions. Janey really wanted to conceive an illegitimate child so as to leave an heir.
Hearing this, Jenny’s face turned pale and she gritted her teeth with hatred.
While Rhaenyra was conversing with Janey, the noble ladies and ladies in the front row close to the two women voluntarily cleared the place for fear of being affected.
She owed Rhaenyra, and she was always worried about the day when she would really break up with Rhaenyra, and she couldn't concentrate every time they met.
What is pot water?
She could only get together once every few months, which was so unpalatable in Rhaenyra's eyes.
But secretly, unknown to him, the two women were secretly competing with each other.
Rhaegar was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether he should go there or not.
Viserys, who was at the top, noticed this and looked around in surprise, secretly feeling worried for his eldest son.
"Uh-huh."
Jenny caressed the other person's back gently, and there was something in her words.
Now, there was an empty seat next to Rhaenyra and Jeyne, as if a multiple-choice question was placed in front of him.
"It's really not long since we met. If you didn't say hello to me yesterday, I wouldn't even dare to look at you."
The twins nodded repeatedly and rushed towards Lanner happily.
Rhaenyra was followed by two little tails. They touched their heads one by one and said with a chuckle: "Go and play with your mother."
Three years passed in a flash, and Rhaenyra's fighting spirit became less intense, and she did not want to cause too much trouble.
The two sides are connected by blood and were allies who helped each other in the most difficult times.
She is not so evil-minded as to plot against her former sister's pregnancy.
Rhaegar was still choosing a seat when the people around him disappeared out of sight.
Rhaenyra sighed, stroked her skirt and sat on a chair, admonishing her: "Jenny, just go back to the valley. I can still turn a blind eye."
Rhaenyra blinked and lowered her voice: "You are so useless. I also want to see the Duchess pregnant with an illegitimate child."
Rhaenyra regained her composure after saying this. She looked at Jeyne unblinkingly, and she could see the embarrassment of having her bad intentions revealed.
Allowing Rhaegar to have a private meeting with Jeyne is just pampering his younger brother and taking measures that are better to block than to block.
In the front row on the left side, Rhaenyra walked slowly, and Janine stood up to greet her.
Rhaenyra was not polite and retorted: "It means you know you are wrong."
“Rhaenyra, you’re crazy!” Jenny’s face changed instantly and she shouted angrily.
Rhaegar is the crown prince and has the ability to restore the illegitimate son’s surname.
There is a wide view, and there is a specially arranged small table where refreshments and fruits can be placed.
Rhaenyra let go of her arms, tilted her head to look at her good sisters, and said frankly: "If it weren't for my generous charity, you wouldn't even be able to drink the water to wash the pot."
This scene fell in Rhaegar's eyes, and he frowned immediately.
Jenny’s eyes flickered, and she didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to hear some hidden meanings.
Silent silence and sat at a distance.
A small temptation deceived Jenny's thoughts.
After greeting each other, the two actually hugged lightly.
"certainly."
Even if this illegitimate child’s surname is Aylin.
Rhaenyra kept hugging her and whispered, "Long time no see, Jeyne."
Looking back again, I saw a jaw-dropping scene.
Seeing her look like this, Jenny was slightly startled and realized she had been fooled.
Jenny couldn't help but smile: "Rhaenyra, do you know that Rhaegar has still been in contact with me these past three years?"
The two women moved in unison, each raising one leg, turning their faces to one side, and gently closing their eyes.
He also had many mistresses when he was young.
…also in previous years.
The first wife Emma Ayling received the orthodox education of the Ayling family and is a woman who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside.
Has many advantages, upright and strong.
Multiple times he reprimanded Damon in person for disrespecting his ex-wife, Lady Rhea, and helping the starving orphans in Flea Bottom.
There are also shortcomings, one is emotional single-mindedness.
Forcibly changed her husband Viserys's bad habit of visiting brothels, and he has absolute say in the Red Keep.
As the first daughter of Queen Emma, Rhaenyra perfectly inherited her mother's strong character.
As far as Viserys knew, Rhaegar, the eldest son, had never touched a third woman except Lady Jeyne of the Vale.
Rhaegar:…
At the same time, the sensitive Lana'er also noticed this, looking at Rhaegar with deep eyes, wondering how her cousin would deal with it.
Dimon has many mistresses, but her family tradition is very open-minded, and she usually won't pursue them unless they appear in front of her.
As if sensing something, Rhaenys glanced at her daughter, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.
It was not a good choice to choose as a husband, so I chose Damon.
She has been married to Collis for many years, and she doesn’t know whether he has found a mistress, but she didn’t hear the slightest hint of it.
A woman who doesn’t even have this ability is not worthy of a happy marriage.
At this moment, Rhaegar slowly walked towards his seat, looking back and forth at the two women who had their eyes closed and remained silent.
Go to the seat, turn around and sit down.
Rhaenyra and Jeyne opened their eyes almost at the same time and looked at the positions beside them.
Empty seat!
Turning his head, Rhaegar sat in the empty seat between the two of them, called an attendant, and ordered: "Bring a table."
The waiter moved quickly and brought a medium-sized square table with various pastries placed on it.
Rhaegar poured three cups of tea in a row, placed them one on the left and one on the right, and took a sip of the remaining cup.
He has no way to eliminate the conflict between the two women, at least it must have a buffering effect.
With the hot tea scalding his mouth, Rhaegar thought about it silently, complaining that he was extraordinarily brave today.
Jenny had a soft look in her eyes, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of it, quietly watching the competition.
Rhaenyra squinted at Rhaegar, drank the teacup in one gulp, and picked up a piece of dessert to sip.
“The fight below is quite exciting.” Rhaegar took the initiative to open the topic and quietly held Rhaenyra’s hand with his right hand.
He still prefers his sister in his heart.
“That’s good.”
Rhaenyra jerked her hand away and gave him a warning look.
If you want to hold hands, do it openly and openly. Privately, I think she is jealous and insists on competing for superiority.
She is a natural winner, and it’s almost enough to give to Jane.
…
The interlude passed and the martial arts tournament began.
After yesterday's knight duel, today we will have a team competition.
That is, there is a melee between many people.
Hang!
As the referee struck the gong, fifty knights in armor stepped onto the arena.
Most of them are down-and-out knights who cannot get together a three-piece set of armor, war horses, and weapons.
Or the defeated side in a knightly duel.
Rega was sitting high in the stands, looking at the players on the field.
For example, old acquaintances Elmond Tully and Edmure Tully.
Old Tully had said before that the two sons and grandsons competed fairly, and whoever achieved good results in the tourney would inherit Riverrun.
Three Tullys signed up enthusiastically and participated actively.
Just yesterday, the second son Milov, who was not proficient in riding skills, was knocked off his horse by his opponent in one round.
The youngest son Edmure and grandson Elmon still had two brushes, but they accidentally bumped into the agile Daemon and were completely defeated.
On the first day, the entire Tully family was wiped out.
Unable to do so, Edmure and Elmon each gathered a group of followers to participate in this team competition, intending to give it a try.
On the competition ground, there are two tall and tall figures that are very eye-catching.
Alec in silver armor and white robes, Cregan Stark of Winterfell.
Cregan lost to Cole and could only choose to hone his martial arts in the team competition.
Alric was a man sent by Rhaegar through his father Viserys to help old Tully who repeatedly begged.
Old Tully is partial to his grandson Elmont, and is willing to give up 30% of the profits from the mushroom market in the Riverlands, plus half of Riverrun's benefits for the coming year.
Hang!
The fat referee sounded the gong, and the melee officially began.
Poof!
As soon as Elmon drew his sword, he was stabbed from behind. The sword passed through the gap in the armor at a tricky angle and penetrated into the waist.
“There’s a traitor!”
His followers shouted, chopped down the traitor with their backhand, and protected the pale Elmon from retreating into the corner.
Edmure laughed wildly and led his followers to pursue the victory, forcing his good nephew to the edge of the cliff with just one encounter.
On the high platform, Rhaegar frowned.
I never expected that careless Edmure could be so cunning and cunning.
“That is the illegitimate son of Lord Boros, Arnold Storm.”
Jenny spoke from the side, pointing to someone on the other side of the arena.
Rhaegar cast his gaze and saw a heavily armored knight holding a war hammer and wielding it like a tiger.
Wherever it passed, the opponent was hit so hard that he vomited blood and flew backwards.
Lega was surprised: "Why is he in the team competition?"
“Arnold is not good at riding, so he will make a name for himself through team competition first.” Jenny explained softly.
Rhaegar nodded suddenly.
“Almon can’t hold it any longer.”
Rhaenyra interrupted as she chewed the pastry.
Rega suppressed the raised corners of her mouth, wiped the cream from the corners of her mouth, and continued to watch the competition.
On the fighting field.
Edmure pursued fiercely, and Alec joined the melee, mobilizing Elmon's followers to fight back.
Suddenly, Arno, the **** son from the other side of the arena, shouted and rushed over, knocking the sword out of Alik's hand with a hammer.
Wow!
The whole crowd was in an uproar. Unexpectedly, the Kingsguard was disarmed.
Alik's face darkened, he rolled sideways to pick up the sword, and fought with the heavily armored knight who was a head taller than him.
The number of players in the team competition was reduced rapidly, and the battle situation was extremely fierce.
Seeing that Alik was under siege, Cregan, who had no opponent, stepped in to help, wielding a giant sword and killing off three opponents in a row.
At the end of the melee, fighting and screams occurred one after another, creating a chaotic mess.
Edmure broke out of the encirclement and pounced on his good nephew Elmon.
His sword was lost somewhere, and he pulled out a gleaming dagger from his waist with a swish sound.
The uncle and nephew were chasing each other, stepped in the mud, fell and rolled together.
Elmon had a strong desire to survive. He bit his uncle's finger, took the dagger and put it against his neck with his backhand.
Edmure was still trying to struggle, but a **** mark was scratched on his neck, and he immediately calmed down.
The melee continued until recently, and only one of the fifty people was left.
They are Cregan, the **** Arnold, Alec, Elmon, and Edmure respectively.
Hang!
The gongs and drums sounded, indicating the end of the team competition.
One out of ten, always like this.
Almon was carried away on a stretcher by the attendants, while the maester treated the wound on his waist and eye.
Fortunately, the armor got stuck on the long sword, otherwise the waist would be gone.
Edmure returned in defeat, staggering with a black face, unwilling to accept defeat.
——
Suddenly, a mouthful of black blood spurted out, and Edmure fell straight down, twitching twice and not moving.
“Guard! Guard!”
The referee was startled and quickly called out to the Dauntless soldiers who were maintaining order.
Turn Edmure over, he had already died.
The poisoning in the competition immediately caused a sensation.
Lei Gaten stood up immediately, unable to believe that someone would dare to murder the Duke's son in public.
Viserys, who was at the top, stood up at the same time and whispered a few words to Otto to appease the audience.
