Chapter 3 Robert Returns

 Walking out of the underground warehouse, I saw that the servants were tidying up their things, and I grabbed one and asked. It turned out that the guards on duty on the tower saw a large group of people coming in the distance. The flag on the head was a black crowned stag with a golden bottom. Duke Robert Baratheon was back.

When he ran to the top of the city gate building, Bachelor Krisson and Lanli had already arrived here and said hello. Bachelor Krisson looked at the people and flags in the distance and introduced the family emblems of each family to Lanli one by one. Knowing the family emblems and main characters of each family is a very important part of aristocratic education.

Robert was riding a horse and walking in the strongest side of the team. Behind the flag guards were holding his own golden-bottomed and black crowned stags, there was no need to say that the castle was full of people.

"To the left is a young man with silver hair, followed by two white-robed knights, the young man with silver hair is Prince Rega Targaryen, and the prince's family emblem is three red dragons on the black bottom symbolizing the royal family. Your father, the king and Prime Minister Tywin, are the best friends who have grown up and fought together since childhood.

On the right side of Robert is Oberon Martel, Prince Dorn, whose family emblem is golden spear pierced through the red sun. Because he poisoned the people of the Ellenwood family, he forced Prince Doron's son Quentin to go to the Ellenwood family to serve as a servant. He was exiled by his brother and could only return to Dorn when it was particularly important.

The two white robes behind the prince were Sir Balistan Seermi and Arthur Dane, carrying a giant sword. Both were Royal Guards, both of whom were nobles, but after becoming Royal Guards, they vowed not to have a fiefdom, not to marry or have children, but to be loyal to the monarch, so they did not raise the family flag.

Later there was a young man named Jon Clinton, who is now the prince's attendant. It is said that the attendant does not stand a flag, but there is his red and white opposing griffin flag in the flag guard behind him, so he must participate in this competition.

Robert followed Ed Stark, the second son of the Duke of Winterfell in the North, with the family emblem of a gray direwolf on a white background.

There is also Albert Ehring, the nephew and heir of the Duke of Eagle Nest in Valley, whose family emblem is an eagle on a blue background and white moon. Robert, Ed and Albert are three brothers in Eagle Nest."

The bachelor's degree ended up drinking the water cup handed by the maid and then deducting it.

"The Seermi family in Harvest Hall and the Clinton family in Griffon Castle are both Stormland and are vassals of our Baratheon family. The Dane family is a vassal of the Dorn Martel family. The people with the best martial arts skills in the family are qualified to hold the family-born iron sword "Dawn" and give the knight title of "Dawn Sword". "Dawn Sword" is not a nickname, but a knight title given to their family by the Dorn royal family."

Witt watched the horse-riding team quickly crossing the town to the castle gatehouse. Robert, Rega and Oberon were in front, and Ed, Albert, Balistan, Arthur, Jon and Robert were greeting the crowd with loud voices.

He shouted "Brother Robert" on the gatehouse

Robert looked up and responded loudly. The guests in the team finished the crushed bread and salt prepared by Stannis at the entrance of the hall and entered the castle with laughter.

This is the first time Robert has held a martial arts competition since he became Duke of Stormland. He went south with his brother Ed Stark in advance. He passed by and called Prince Rega and Prince Oberon to come together. Prince Oberon's sister and Prince Rega became pregnant after getting married. Both of them are interested in martial arts. After being invited, they simply came together with Robert.

Where there is a Rabo, there must be a banquet.

Robert loves fighting, drinking, eating, and playing with women. As long as you like these, you are good brothers. It is simple and comfortable to deal with people like Robert, but it is better to ask him to deal with government affairs. He himself is the boss.

Robert is the master, and his rule is that as long as he is there, he has to sit down and drink together.

On the long table, the eldest brother Robert, the second brother Stannis, Prince Rega, the Red Viper Oberon, Ed of Winterfell, Albert Elin, the heir of the Duke of Eagle Nest City, the meaningless Balistan, the future Prime Minister Jon Clinton, the Dawn Sword Arthur, and Arthur's sister Ashara Dane. At the end of the table, there are two children from Renley.

Witt also had the opportunity to get close to the celebrity Prince Rega. He was tall, with the iconic silver hair and purple eyes of the Targaryen family, handsome face and melancholy eyes, and the bonus of the prince's identity, which made the little sister feel relaxed. It was because she was so fond of women that the original work did not handle the problem of women and was hammered by Robert to death on the Gem Beach. But now the two are still talking and laughing, eating meat and drinking face to face.

When people drink, they start to talk a lot. They are naturally talking nonsense in the south and north of the sea. Finally, they will naturally talk about women. After hearing Robert howl at the top of his throat, he took a big sip of wine and said to Prince Rega:

"My fiancée, Lyanna Stark, we have known each other since childhood. She is very beautiful, just and brave."

"I haven't seen Anna Stark, is it Ed's sister?" Prince Rega asked

After saying that, everyone looked at Ed Stark's unscrupulous long face. Except for Albert, everyone else who had never seen Lyanna had a smile on their faces.

Prince Rega said: "Everyone thinks that the person they like is the most beautiful, and does not accept other people's rebuttals, and I think the most beautiful person is my soon-to-be-born child."

When Robert immediately heard the boring topic of children, he immediately trembled and said, "The opponents worth challenging now, in addition to everyone here, the North include Brandon Stark and Jora Mormont. I have played very well with these two people."

Prince Rega continued, "James Lannister from the West is also considered one. He is only 14 years old and has excellent riding skills and martial arts."

The Red Viper Oberon thought about it and did not object, and said, "There is also a knight of their Lannister family, Gregor Clicang. His extraordinary strength is also a good opponent."

Afterwards, several people told me that there were some other outstanding achievements, and Arthur and others joined the discussion. Everyone was very polite and argued endlessly. Who was stabbed off by someone and who was chased by someone in the competition venue, and they drank more and more wine. As for the older generation of masters, there were all young people here, and who cares about those old men.

Stannis talked with the older Balistan about the current Prime Minister Tywin Lannister. "Tywin, the king and his father were close friends since childhood. Tywin was prime minister for 20 years and resolved the financial dispute between the king and Bravos, abolished many previous laws that suppressed the nobles, reduced taxes in big cities, built roads, strengthened trade, severely punished opportunities, quelled the Mugu City Rebellion, and actively advocated martial arts competitions. This time, the preparation of the martial arts competition should be able to make a small profit by relying on the taxes of mobile merchants."

Stannis also got up and shook his head a little, and then said, "Someone is smuggling in the territory recently. I must cut off his fingers when I catch them!"

Robert didn't want to discuss official duties at the banquet, so he immediately changed the subject and asked where everyone went after the competition. Prince Rega said he would go west with Oberon, and he went to the midsummer hall and Oberon returned to Dorn.

Witt and Renley couldn't get in and could only watch them snort. Witt turned to study Ed.

Ed Stark has a long face that is not handsome but kind, with dark brown hair and gray eyes. While others were chatting and laughing, he occasionally glanced at the sister of the Dawn Sword, Ashara Dane. Ashara is tall, fair-skinned, and dark-haired and purple-eyed eyes. He is indeed beautiful and charming. Whenever Ashara turns his head to look at him, he immediately looks at others. The honest and honest Duke of Winterfell is now a shy young man.

Witt was eating and watching the people who were talking loudly after drinking and thinking, [These are all famous figures in the original work, now they are in their 180s and 20s. Brothers now have a good relationship, eat meat and drink wine and laugh freely. Next year's Herenburg martial arts competition will start the most. The consequences of the crazy Mad King's crazy will become enemies of life and death. The ones who die and escape, and can't help but sigh that fate is a mess. I am less than 3 years old and I am too petty and I don't know if I can bring some small changes in the future.]

The Windsburg was very big, and these were all people with identities. After the meal, Stannis arranged for them and the subordinates they brought to live in the castle, and only Robert took Oberon to visit the brothel happily.

With so many masters coming, Witt naturally won't miss it. During the day, watching them practice Robert's warhammer, Oberon's marksmanship, Dawn's sword technique, and other people's respective martial arts, benefit a lot. He followed them with the toy swords and practiced them for a few days, and also increased his single-handed weapons and blocking proficiency.

He even gestured twice with the family giant sword "Daoming" of the Dawn Sword, but it was still too heavy and could not make any moves. He held the sword in his hand and won amazement. Through the perception of forging skills and enchanting skills, this sword only has good material and forging technology. It uses meteorite iron and white and bright sword body, and its strength can be comparable to that of the Valyrian Steel Sword, but there is no magic reflection on the sword.

Everyone praised Robert for his fourth brother as young as he could still train with everyone, and that he would definitely become an amazing knight in the future. Robert responded proudly with a laugh, and then he looked at xx with a hint of pity, which was a pity that ranked fourth.

The time of the Fengxi Castle martial arts competition is getting closer and closer. The competition venues and stands outside the city have been set up. The tents set up by mobile vendors gathered nearby have almost doubled the town outside Fengxi Castle. Among them, there are many gorgeous large tents belonging to the nobles from all over the country. The tents are complete with carpets, furniture, food and wine. They come to participate in the competition, do business and sell territorial materials, and build relationships. In short, the entire Fengxi Castle is becoming more and more lively.

The political system of Westeros can be simply understood as a pyramid shape. The top one is the king of the seven kingdoms. The king of the seven kingdoms can order the dukes of the seven kingdoms, but cannot order the people on the next level. The earls on the next level only recognize their own dukes. The king of the seven kingdoms has his own king-level area under his control.
