Strength:8.69

Spirit:8.38

Charge:3/100

In the room, Samwell was wearing a brand new viscount dress while watching the changes in his attribute panel.

The title of Viscount actually gave him five free attribute points, which surprised him quite a bit.

He decisively added these five points of free attributes to his agility. In this way, he had no obvious shortcomings. Even without the blessing of the great sword [Dawn], his personal martial arts was at the pinnacle of Westeros.

This sudden increase in attribute points made Samwell suddenly realize that perhaps upgrading his title was the fastest way to increase his strength.

His krypton gold is almost bankrupt, and his strength is only about eight points. However, his agility only used the free attribute points of two promotions to catch up. More importantly, the attribute points of the promotions will not only not decay, but will

It's one level higher than the other.

If you become an earl in the future, how many free attribute points will you get? Ten points? Or more?

What about the Duke?

Even, what about the king?

Thinking of this, Samwell felt confident.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock in the room, interrupting the man who was dreaming about a better future.

Samwell opened the door and saw a maid standing outside, bowing and saying:

"Lord Caesar, the engagement party is about to begin."

"good."

Samwell buttoned up his collar and followed the maid to the banquet hall.

As night fell, thousands of beeswax candles produced in Candleden City lit up the banquet hall in Highgarden like daylight. Almost all the lords of the River Bend attended the event. Samwell Caesar and Margaery Tyrell

's engagement party.

Guests gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed.

The tense situation during yesterday's hunting meeting was completely invisible.

When Samwell walked into the hall, the conversation and laughter suddenly paused, and everyone glanced at the new Viscount.

Much of it is goodwill and reverence, but there is also some indifference and hostility.

But no matter what, this is no longer the treatment and attention that an ordinary viscount deserves.

Regardless of what these River Bend nobles think or think, the Viscount of Yingzui Island is now able to influence the fate and future of the River Bend.

The engagement to the "Rose of Highgarden" is a clear sign of the Tyrell family's compromise and softening. In this way, even those unconvinced nobles will not dare to openly oppose Viscount Caesar.

Samwell faced the gazes one after another without any stage fright, and responded to them one by one with a smile and a nod.

"Sam." Margery stood at the other end of the hall. She immediately smiled sweetly and greeted her fiancé.

Today she is wearing a luxurious beige palace dress, dotted with hundreds of fine diamonds. The thick skirt made of layers of chiffon looks very noble, and the bold suspender design on the upper body reveals her exquisiteness.

Her collarbones and white, tender side cheeks are cute and attractive.

The two met in the center of the hall. Samwell smiled and raised his right hand for Margaery to take it.

I don’t know who started it, but the crowd burst into cheers and applause.

When the two walked up to the high platform together, the archbishop wearing a crystal crown smiled and gave his blessing, and then took out the marriage contract document and showed it to Samwell.

Samwell had read the document in advance, and it mainly stated that the two would get married three years later.

Samwell suddenly thought of a question. If he still failed to sit on the Iron Throne after three years, would the Tyrell family break the engagement or extend it for another three years?

Well, so it’s better to get pregnant as soon as possible.

In addition, the Tyrell family has another request——

If two people have multiple children after marriage, one of them must be renamed Tyrell and given to the High Court to raise.

This is obviously the Rose family coveting his "true dragon bloodline".

But for Samwell, it is not a bad thing. Having his heir become the Lord of Highgarden will only strengthen his control over the Reach.

So, he picked up the quill and signed the document.

Later, the archbishop handed the marriage contract documents to the Duke of Metz.

The inflatable fish had a sad face and a depressed expression. He never dared to look at Samwell or face the eyes of the Riverbend nobles.

He picked up the quill and signed the marriage contract hastily, then stood aside silently, with his head lowered, and did not say any blessings to his daughter.

Margery wanted to hug her father, but he avoided her.

The archbishop saw the awkwardness of the situation and quickly announced loudly:

"In the name of the Seven Gods, I declare that Sir Samwell of the Caesar family and Miss Margaery of the Tyrell family have entered into a marriage contract!"

The crowd cheered again, and the maids on both sides of the platform sprinkled rose petals into the sky, falling on Samwell and Margaery.

The viewing ceremony ended, but the inflatable fish stood there like a wooden sculpture. Finally, Lady Olenna, Queen of Thorns, announced the start of the banquet.

The nobles sat down one after another, the maids brought food and wine, the musicians played the harp and played the flute, and the inflatable fish ran away.

He probably wanted to use this to express his protest against this marriage.

But unfortunately, no one cares about his attitude anymore.

Originally, the Duke of Highgarden was a joke in the Reach, and now he is even more of a joke.

In fact, if the inflatable fish is smarter and accepts this son-in-law calmly, Samwell will reconcile with him in order to win people's hearts, at least on the surface.

But it's a pity that this guy just can't turn around, which is why everyone despises him now.

Garlan Tyrell was about to get up and chase his father, but was stopped by Lady Olenna.

"Let him go." The old lady said coldly, "How old you are, but you still have the temper of a child. Can't you afford to lose?"

Garland had no choice but to sit down.

The guests came forward one after another to express their blessings to the two people who made the wedding contract.

Samwell and Margaery also thanked them in return.

At this moment, the housekeeper hurried to the stage and said to Lady Olenna:

"Madam, Master Loras is back!"

"Loras is back?" Margaery shouted in surprise, "Where is he?"

When the news of Duke Renly's death in Sunspear came back to Highgarden, the Tyrell family was very worried about the situation of Loras as a squire, and also sent envoys to negotiate with the Martell family, asking them to release Loras.

Lars.

"He has gone to change his clothes. He will attend the banquet soon. Also with him are Ser Edmure Tully and Ser Daemon Sand."

"Edmure Tully?" Lady Olenna frowned, as if she couldn't believe that the Dornish people actually released this man as an envoy.

"Yes."

Samwell was also a little surprised, but then he realized that this was probably Prince Doran secretly expressing his position.

Although the Martell family has formed an alliance with the Lannister family on the surface, I am afraid that in their hearts they are still loyal to the Fish Wolf and the Hawk. This time they sent the eldest son of the Fish to Highgarden, probably to test the position of the Tyrell family.

Not long after, the three people who had rushed back from Dorne appeared at the banquet.

In fact, these three people were even more surprised.

They didn't expect that the Tyrell family would actually marry Margaery to a minor baron, oh, I heard he was now a viscount.

But even so, a viscount is not qualified to enter into a marriage contract with the "Rose of Highgarden".

However, from this engagement, they already understood the position of the Tyrell family. After all, this was a choice between the king and the viscount.

If the Lannister family hears this news, they will probably be furious.

"Ser Edmure, how is your army doing now?" Samwell asked, as if he was the master of Highgarden.

The rest of the people were not surprised at all, as if it was a matter of course.

"The army... is okay..." Edmure was a little embarrassed to say.

It was Ser Daemon Sand who recounted the situation of the armies in the Riverlands, Vale, and Stormlands.

"So many prisoners? Prince Doran is really powerful. The ferocious Dornish people are as gentle as sheep under his hands." Samwell chuckled, not sure whether it was ridicule or praise.

"We Dornish people are not just beasts who only know how to kill." Sir Daemon defended, and then said, "In addition, because Dorne suffered heavy losses in this battle and could no longer support these captives, His Highness Doran specially
