"What do you mean missing?"

The Duke of Metz shouted angrily, but then he realized that his voice was too loud and quickly lowered his voice, "Have you searched both inside and outside the city?"

"I've looked for it all." Garlan Tyrell lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look into his father's eyes. "There is no trace of my sister."

"Where else could she go!"

Garland was silent for a moment and said hesitantly: "Father, maybe my sister didn't want to marry the king, so she hid on purpose..."

"But I have already agreed to this marriage!" The Duke of Metz was sweating anxiously, "Why is she like this! She was not like this before! She has always been well-behaved and sensible! Has someone bewitched her? Who deserves to die?

The bard? Huh?"

"But who did you want her to marry?" Garland felt unfair for his sister.

"I asked her to marry the king!" the Duke of Metz said angrily, "hasn't it always been her dream to be a queen!"

"Not every king is worthy of Margaery."

"There is only one king!" The Duke of Metz pushed his son, "Quick! Go look for it again..."

"Lord Mace." Queen Mother Cersei walked over, "What happened?"

"it's okay no problem……"

"Where's Margaery? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"

"she……"

Cersei seemed to understand something and hummed:

"What? She still doesn't want to marry my son?"

"No, of course not!" The Duke of Metz quickly explained, "She just got lost..."

"Okay, Mace!" Cersei flicked her long sleeves, "Do you think I'm a fool? Since your daughter doesn't want to marry, then the engagement is cancelled. My son still can't find a queen!"

After saying that, he walked away.

On the other side, Samwell came to the seat area of ​​​​the Riverbend nobles.

His place was arranged next to his uncle, Sir Alec Florent.

After sitting down, the waiter came forward and filled the wine glass in front of him with Qingting Island's golden wine.

"Sam, how is your injury?" Sir Alarkon asked.

"It's okay, uncle." Samwell smiled slightly.

Sir Aleken sighed: "About Dickon... I'm really sorry."

"I know, uncle, it's not your fault." Samwell glanced at the king on the high platform, his eyes flashing.

"Alas -" Sir Alakken sighed again, "I'm afraid your father will be heartbroken this time. Sam, have you ever thought about changing your surname back to Tully? I'm sure Randyll would agree.

This way you can inherit Jiaoling in the future."

Samwell shook his head: "It's not like my father has no heir."

Lord Randyll Tarly did have three daughters.

"Based on what I know about Landao, he will not agree to let your sister inherit Jiaoling."

Indeed, at the beginning Landao couldn't even tolerate a fat and cowardly son, so how could he accept a woman inheriting Jiaoling.

A woman's battlefield is the delivery bed. This is Lord Landau's attitude towards women.

"My father and mother are still young, and they might still have children." Samwell really had no interest in returning to Horn Hill to be Lord Landau's heir.

He finally built a fortune outside, so why should he go back and be someone else's son?

Could it be that he will imitate King Qin in the future and try his best to push his old father to the Iron Throne?

Aleken frowned slightly. He didn't expect Samwell to be unwilling to return to Horn Hill. Originally, he had planned to let Sam marry his daughter instead of his brother.

Maybe the young man was in a bad mood and couldn't turn around for a while. Aleken thought to himself. He will understand it later.

The two fell silent.

Samwell picked up the wine glass and sipped the wine while observing the situation at the venue.

At this banquet, the nobles from the North also came. However, the king probably wanted to punish them for disobeying orders and arranged their positions at the outermost areas. Even Ed Stark, the dignified Duke of the North, wanted to punish them for disobeying orders.

Sitting so far away, I guess I couldn't even hear the king's voice clearly.

Of course, the northern nobles may like this arrangement quite a bit, but they are too lazy to look at the king's face anyway. If Duke Ed hadn't requested it this time, I'm afraid most of the northern nobles would not have planned to come to the banquet.

Lord Eddard sat quietly in his seat, saying nothing, except for secretly exchanging a knowing glance with Samwell.

When the time was almost up, an archbishop who accompanied the army came on stage and led everyone in prayer.

After the prayer, King Joffrey was eager to announce the start of the banquet:

"Everyone, in order to celebrate this great conquest, let us raise a toast together!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Everyone responded, but their voices were sparse, and everyone could hear the reluctance in them.

Except Joffrey.

The king is still there having fun.

Thousands of cups banged at the same time, announcing that the banquet had officially begun.

However, Joffrey did not take his seat. Instead, he held the wine glass and continued:

"Today, I have one more thing to announce. In order to punish the Dornish people for their bad faith, I have decided to massacre the city starting from tomorrow!"

As soon as this statement came out, the venue was suddenly in an uproar.

Sir Barristan immediately stood up to stop him: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not a good idea. The Dornish people have always been unruly. If you slaughter Tianji City, every city in the future will fight to the death..."

"Then kill them until they dare not resist!" Joffrey said arrogantly.

Barristan refused to give in:

"Sorry, Your Majesty, you have no authority to issue such an order. Lord Ed is the commander of this army."

The king was angry, drew his sword suddenly, waved it and roared:

"I said, massacre the city! This is an order! The king's order!"

"Then you have to kill me first." Barristan said in a calm and decisive tone.

"Okay." Queen Cersei quickly grabbed her son who seemed to be going berserk again. She still knew the importance. If Joffrey killed the captain of the Kingsguard, she would probably call her son the Mad King in the Seven Kingdoms tomorrow.

Second generation,

"This is the king's banquet now, not a military meeting. We can discuss this matter later."

"Yes! Let the food be served, Your Majesty, everyone is hungry." Jaime Lannister helped smooth things over.

Joffrey reluctantly stopped.

The banquet finally officially started.

The maids began to serve delicious meals one after another.

A bard came forward, brushed his fingers over the harp strings, and began to sing.

The song is called "The Conquests of Joffrey the Great".

From the looks of it, he looks like a flattering guy, so no wonder he was arranged to perform first.

Samwell listened with interest and observed the expressions of the nobles.

Although everyone smiled politely and listened on the surface, if you look closely, you can easily find sarcasm, disdain, and even anger in their eyes.

Joffrey's unscrupulous actions in the war had obviously angered these military nobles. After all, it was their soldiers who died and their blood was shed. As a result, Joffrey just sat there and was not helping.

, and actually shamelessly took all the credit for himself.

Do you really think that the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms are the dogs of the Baratheon family?

When this song ended, the bard changed to "The Rains of Castamere", which was composed by Lord Tywin Lannister after he massacred the disobedient vassals in the West. It is obviously the same song played here.

To flatter the Lannister family.

Then the bard changed to the song "The Golden Rose", which was a tribute to the Tyrell family.

But as soon as the song started, Cersei stopped the bard and asked him to change the song.

Samwell immediately understood that the marriage between the two families had completely failed.

The bard changed it to "The Maiden, the Madonna and the Crone" to please the church.

After the song ended, a clown in colorful costumes came up and performed various juggling.

Breath fire, throw fruits, turn into doves...

At first, everyone watched happily, but then when the clown performed a show dueling with puppets, the laughter suddenly became sparse.

Because the puppet used by the Joker as the target of the "duel" turned out to be exactly what the "Red Viper" Prince Oberyn looked like, and more importantly, what supported the puppet was actually a skeleton!

You don’t need to think about it to know that these are probably the remains of Oberyn Martell!
