Donny Sarsfield is dressed extremely luxuriously today, wearing a golden embroidered aristocratic robe and an exaggerated gold necklace hanging around his neck.
The tournament is not just about fighting, the most important thing is social interaction. By chance, "lucky" Donny temporarily obtained the inheritance rights of the Western Territory. When his status rose, his marriage was also targeted by many people. Cersei specially arranged it for him.
Today there is a dinner party held in Riverrun specifically for unmarried noble men and women.
"Where are the hounds?"
Donnie was riding a horse. It rained heavily last night and the ground in the tent area became muddy. He didn't want his shoes to get even a little muddy.
"My lord, Sir Sandor has gone to the blacksmith's shop. I will go find him right away." A knight answered and ran away immediately.
Today's dinner party will meet many young people, and there will inevitably be quarrels or fights over girls. If the super follower hound Sandor is not behind him, Donnie feels a little scared. Thinking that the hound Sandor is also single, he comes to the camp to find the hound to attend the dinner together.
.
Donnie then looked at the two people huddled together on the muddy ground, "How did you survive?"
Ramsay closed his eyes and said nothing, and Littlefinger did not dare to make a sound. The knights next to him did not dare to answer even though they knew that they had given the wound medicine, and they were in a state of silence for a while.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Duny rode up to Littlefinger Baelish and Ramsay. The tall white horse was controlled to pace left and right, and Duny wanted to use the horse to trample them. p>
Each of them had one foot tied to a stone lock by an iron chain, and they could only roll and dodge in the mud. They did not dare to resist Donnie, and soon they were covered in mud.
"Hahaha! Interesting." Looking at the two people in a state of embarrassment under the horse's hooves, Donnie was very happy.
"Sir Donny, why did you come to me?" Sandor the hound came over and felt very uncomfortable when he saw Donny's behavior.
"Good dog! Take off your armor and change into better clothes. Come to the banquet with me today." Duny turned the horse's head and said loudly.
The hunting dog Sandor naturally knew about today's banquet, and he was qualified to participate. However, the ugly face that had been burned since he was a child made the hunting dog feel a little inferior. He had never participated in such an event. "It's okay if you ask me to kill people, and
Those weak young men singing and dancing? Not interested!"
Donnie was a little anxious, "Go if I tell you to go, there is so much nonsense! If you don't want to go? Then I will let the knights strip you of your clothes and carry you there!"
"Hahaha, I also want to see the little girl, but the child is already one year old."
"Why don't you let such a good thing go!"
The colleagues next to him began to tease the hunting dog.
"I hope I won't scare them!" Hound Dog agreed, returned to the tent area to change clothes, and then left the tent area with Donnie.
"This damn bastard!" Littlefinger cursed softly after seeing Donnie leave.
He had been locked in place for the past two days, unable to move, and was trying to escape every day. Based on what happened to him, he analyzed that the other two children of Joffrey and Queen Cersei might also be illegitimate! As he grew older
Old Tywin of the West discovered this in advance, and in order not to arouse the anger of King Robert, he arranged for Queen Cersei and her three children to fake their deaths!
Ramsay is very weak. He has used up all his strength to avoid the horse's hooves. Now it is difficult to open his mouth and speak. "Don't talk. He is still locking us up. It proves that we are still of some use. At least we can provide him with entertainment."<
/p>
Littlefinger picked up the wooden bowl and fed Ramsay some water. "Your identity is not simple either. An Orion's son is not as knowledgeable as you!"
Ramsay looked up at Littlefinger. His face was almost skinny due to starvation, but his shrewd eyes were still very eye-catching. "You are not simple either. You must be a noble who has just fallen into disgrace!" <
/p>
Neither of them answered the other's question. The two people who share the same problem looked at each other and felt that they began to have a tacit understanding with each other.
There were three most popular single men at the dinner, Lord Denys Arryn, Robb Stark, the eldest son of the Duke of the North, and Donny Sarsfield, the heir to the West. There were men who were more handsome than these three.
There are quite a few, but their identities are not as good as these three.
Dennis Allin is older and talks skillfully with young men and women from all over the world.
There are many girls around Donny Sarsfield. He speaks and behaves in a very aristocratic manner and has won the favor of many girls.
Robb Stark appeared once at the beginning of the party and refused Jeyne Westerling's proposal to make her brother his squire, saying that he wanted to learn from his master Werther and travel around alone first.<
/p>
When Jeyne Westerling was a child, she had a divination with her mother's grandmother, and the prophecy she received was that she would marry a king. Her great-grandmother was called "Toad" Witch by the people of Lannister Port, and many little girls in the area
They all come to her for divination of marriage, and it is said that it is very effective.
Jeyne had always thought that she would marry King Robert's son, the future king Prince Joffrey, but he and the queen died together with his sister and brother. When King Robert looked for a bride again, he was not yet an adult. Then
What other kings are there? The king of the wildlings outside the Great Wall, the 'Gambling King' who is a guest at Riverrun, these two are also kings! Jenny said she didn't want to marry these two people.
When I wanted to find "Toad" Witch Girl again, I couldn't find her. I asked my mother, but the news I got was that my great-grandmother had died before I was born. It was impossible to give her any prophecy. It must be Jenny.
When I was a child, I had a dream and took it seriously.
From then on, Jeyne Westerling no longer hesitated, and began to follow her father's arrangements to date unmarried men. She finally fell in love with a handsome and noble Robb, who also seemed to be indifferent. p>
No one saw Robb again at the subsequent banquet. He was currently sitting with Saran Farman in the godswood of Riverrun under a weirwood tree with a sad face carved on it. The two of them spoke through a candle.
Whisper.

The messenger crow delivering a letter to his father Eddard has been sent out. James' words gave Robb a sense of urgency. Marriage is not only about love, but also benefits. Before receiving his father's reply, Robb also asked his uncle Edmure for advice.
, but I feel that my uncle’s idea is not very reliable.
~~~
In Cersei's guest room, Jaime Lannister expressed his evaluation of Robb. His father Tywin had other plans, and he had to ask Cersei to support him.
"Compared to several people, only Robb is okay! You have to support my suggestion!"
"Absolutely not!" Cersei refused simply.
James poured her a glass of wine and gently stroked his sister Cersei's back. "I asked someone to inquire about Robb's past. His experience is very simple. He grew up in Winterfell and studied at King's Landing School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
, and then went south to join me in the battle on the Stepstone Islands. Except for his sisters, I didn’t hear him having any interactions with any girls.”
Cersei took the wine glass and leaned into James's arms, "I don't want my daughter to live in that poor place in Winterfell!"
James: "When did you do that? They sell furs in the North, and spices are sold in Winterfell. Although they are not as rich as our Lannister family, there are few in the Seven Kingdoms who are richer than the Stark family." Cersei "Dennis Arryn of the Vale is also good."
James looked down on the people of the valley and said with disdain, "The people of the valley have not even cleaned up the savages in the Mingyue Mountains for thousands of years. They only live guarding the blood gate! They have sealed themselves off complacently. They have not even done anything in these years.
There is not much development,”
Cersei spoke faster, "Dennis Arryn is the Duke of the Vale!"
James "Robb Stark is younger than Denys, and he will also be the Duke of the North!"
Cersei left Jaime's arms and began to roar, "Robb is the apprentice of that bastard Vert Baratheon! I feel sick when I see his black hair! I want to skin him!"
James also stood up, "Werther is Werther, and Robb is Robb. Do you really want your daughter to marry that half-old man in the Vale?"
"No, it means no!" Cersei's face had veins popping out.
"Calm down and think about it first. I'm going to participate in the competition." Seeing Cersei's anger, James didn't want to anger his sister anymore, so he turned and left.
"Get out!"
Cersei threw out the wine glass in her hand. She didn't hit James' head, but only threw it on James' back. Bang! Cersei's hand also knocked over the wine bottle, the wine splashed everywhere, and the wine glass wet James' back.
, the wine in the bottle wetted Cersei's shoes.
Patting the wine on his back, he put his finger in his mouth and took a sip. James looked at Cersei, "You shouldn't waste such a good wine. You can't just think about yourself. This is for your daughter's future!"
Cersei was the only one left in the room, looking at the drinks on the floor and her own feet, thinking of Jaime leaving, and getting angrier as she stood there thinking about it.
"Lancel Lannister! Where did Lancel Lannister die!"
Cersei's cousin Lancel Lannister heard the shouts and hurried into the guest room.
He is this year old and has just held his coming-of-age ceremony. He was made a knight by Jaime after fighting on the Stepstone Islands, and was later sent by Tywin to protect Cersei. He has sandy brown hair, light green eyes, and a handsome face. The most important thing is
One thing, his face looks very much like the young Jaime Lannister.
Lancel looked at the mess on the ground and took the initiative to put away the wine glasses and bottles.
"Lock the door!" Cersei sat on the chair.
Lancel was a little surprised by Cersei's order, but he still obeyed.
Cersei looked at the young and strong figure, took off her shoes and stretched out her feet to Lancel, "Come here and lick them clean!"
Lancel was surprised that his cousin would say this and froze on the spot without moving. He had some admiration for this beautiful cousin in his heart, but she was already married and still a queen, so he never dared to have any unnecessary thoughts.<
/p>
"Come here when I tell you to, do you hear me?" Cersei said in a commanding tone.
Looking at the slightly curly blond hair, the beautiful green eyes, the beautiful and angry face, as well as the arrogant movements and speaking tone of the person sitting on the chair, Lancel's heartbeat accelerated.
After all, I couldn’t resist the temptation.
He slowly walked over and knelt in front of Cersei, holding her feet covered in wine with both hands.

A few days later, the Riverrun Tourney ended, and both the jousting champion and the team champion were won by Jaime Lannister.
Several people who calculated the odds originally wanted to ask Jaime to deliberately lose a game, but Stannis severely stopped him. He did not want to have any more involvement with the people in the West.
Therefore, there were not many big upsets in this competition, and the overall income was relatively stable. Stannis took out the ledger in Edmure Tully's room and calculated the profits of this competition for him.
There are two ledgers, one is an ordinary general ledger and the other is a gaming ledger.
"You are so professional! You are truly worthy of being the 'King of Gambling'!" Edmure saw Stannis' gambling accounts. They were densely packed with numbers and names. He knew them all separately, but he couldn't make out what was written in these account books. Stannis was dull, and Edmure felt that his compliments had no effect.
"Just look at the general ledger. You can't understand ours. If there's no problem, sign it. I want to go back to King's Landing." Stannis only said the matter.
Edmure smiled, "Why don't you stay and play for a while? I know some good places!"
Stannis remained expressionless, "My brother Renly has been poisoned!"
Edmure stood up and said, "What? Someone dares to poison Lord Renly, a powerful magician?"
Stannis did not look up and continued to fiddle with the ledger. "It was the poison that Renly prepared himself and he ate the poison himself."
He is poisoning himself. Edmure really doesn't know what to say. "Well, I don't know anything about mages. I'll give you some good horses. Riverrun has rich water and grass, and the horses it raises are pretty good."<
/p>
~~~
The nobles began to pack their bags and prepare to go home.
Looking at the knights who had packed up their luggage and left on horseback in the tent area, the number of people in the temporary camp was gradually decreasing. Littlefinger and Ramsay had a bad feeling, but they were also praying in their hearts that Donnie hadn't been here in the past few days.
Just worry about the two of you and pray that Dhoni forgets them.
The hunting dog Sandor, who was dressed in black armor, led the horse and walked up to the two of them.
"Sir, please don't kill us!"
"We are just two poor guys who want to cheat some money. Please let us go."
Ramsay and Littlefinger begged the hound for mercy.
A knight held a plate in front of the two people. On the plate was a small bag of water, two pieces of bread, and a cut of cooked meat.
Sandor the Hound was talking to himself, "Donny asked the knights to kill you two when they left."
The fear before the execution came, Ramsay's whole body was shaking, and his little finger wet his pants.
Sandor the Hound then said, "We are all canonized knights, and most of them have a conscience and don't want to violate the knight's oath, so we decided to let you go."
"Thank you, Lord Knight!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Ramsay and Littlefinger had been hungry for two days without eating anything. They grabbed the food on the plate. Although it was not very fresh, it tasted extremely delicious.
After the two of them finished eating, Sandor the hound took out the dagger from his waist and reached out to Ramsay.
"Sir, please spare my life."
The wide steel gauntlets grabbed Ramsay's head. No matter how hard he struggled, his hands remained motionless like iron pliers. The little finger next to him was so frightened that his mouth turned white. He was pulled by the iron chain and could only sit on the ground without even standing.
I no longer had the courage to stand up. You said you were letting two people go, but why are you still holding a dagger and scratching your head?
Two knights came over carrying a charcoal stove. The hound looked at Littlefinger and said, "We have to make sure that you won't say anything detrimental to Donny."
"Are you going to cut our tongues?" Little Finger's voice trembled.
"I remember you said that you can write. Cutting out your tongue is useless. If I want to spare your lives, I have to let you keep the secret. I can only brand your face with the mark of a slave, so that nothing you say can be used as a weapon."
Testimonial."
After the hound finished speaking, he cut off Ramsay's hair with a dagger, then cut off the hair on his little finger, and pressed their heads on the stone with both hands.
A knight took out a red-hot iron rod from the charcoal stove, and regardless of their screams, branded a fist-sized devil's mark on their foreheads.
Hound "This is the symbol of Yunkai in Slaver's Bay, which means that both of you are disobedient and cruel slaves. Most maesters in Westeros recognize this symbol."
Another knight came over and opened the shackles of the two of them. "If we let you go, we will not violate the knight's oath. As for whether you live or die later, it is none of our business."
The two stood up. Ramsay was still very weak. Littlefinger supported him and nodded to the hound and the others. He picked up his clothes and put them on his head to hide the brand, and walked silently outside Riverrun.
Before the two of them had gone far, the knight who brought them food shouted, "The meat you just ate is the bird that was cut off from you."
Ramsay was about to cry without tears, and a little blood oozed from the wound on his lower body, which made him grimace in pain.
Littlefinger endured the urge to vomit and did not look back, comforting Ramsay, "It's not a loss, it's not a loss, at least you ate half of it! I'll eat the other half, and I will be your good brother from now on."
