Chapter three hundred and forty-ninth white robe knight
Mia wants Viserys to knight her himself.
Viserys obviously didn't expect that the reward the girl wanted from him was just this, and he was slightly stunned for a moment.
"You want me to knight you?"
"how?"
"Is this wish difficult?"
The red-haired girl stood up from the gravel beach and asked in confusion, her tattered clothes fluttering slightly with the wind blowing from the empty lake.
When Viserys heard this, he was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"No"
"It's not difficult to make you a knight, but"
Viserys didn't know how to explain to her that there were actually very few female knights in the world...
And he felt that the other party had underestimated the promise he had given her. She could become a wealthy businessman who could rival the country, and she could become a lord of a place.
However, she just wanted to become a knight. There are many types of knights, which are just a threshold for commoners to become nobles. She could have climbed to the top in one step and directly become a noble.
"There are very few women in this world who become knights, Mia."
"Because knighthood means responsibility, obligation, honor and fighting."
Who are the female knights since ancient times? Viserys immediately thought only of the 'disobedient' Diana Targaryen.
Is the "beauty" of Tarth a knight? No, no, she doesn't seem to be. She is just good at wielding swords and guns.
Viserys opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the girl.
"I've heard people from Westeros say that a knight is the spirit, not the sword."
"And I think spirituality should not be distinguished by the presence or absence of that thing."
Mia said decisively, while looking at Viserys with sharp eyes. The girl was so generous, but it made Viserys look a little embarrassed.
"you're right…"
Then the silver-haired young man was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
"I can knight you, Mia."
However, Viserys was not done yet.
"But have you really thought it through?"
"You are about to give up your noble title, fiefdom, and gold..."
"certainly!"
Mia also nodded solemnly, she didn't want those things that everyone seemed to be coveting.
Everyone in this world has their own choices, everyone has their own stories and encounters.
Wouldn't it be too boring if everyone looked the same?
Clang
However, the next second, Viserys drew out the Valyrian steel sword he used to kill dragons with his own hands. It had a gilt cross guard, and the sword was as smooth as water, reflecting the cold light in the early morning sun.
"Kneel before me, ma'am."
Viserys spoke in a calm voice, his handsome face rarely becoming so serious.
The red-haired girl was stunned for a moment, but then she reacted, gently bent her knees, and knelt down on one knee in front of Viserys. There were scars left from the battle on her body and legs.
Viserys held the heavy Valyrian steel sword and gently placed it on the girl's stubbornly upright shoulders.
"Mia from Volantis, will you swear this before the gods and the world?"
"Guard the weak and protect women and children."
"Obey your superiors and be crowned lord and king."
"No matter how difficult, humble, or dangerous the future is, we will always fight bravely and fulfill our mission."
Viserys' voice was calm and he spoke word by word.
The girl who knelt on one knee in front of Viserys felt the sword pressing on her shoulders, raised her head and looked into Viserys's eyes, and then spoke solemnly.
"I do!"
Meeting Viserys was the biggest turning point in a girl's life.
She explored the deepest parts of Valyria's ruins, rode a dragon and witnessed a dragon fight, and accepted Viserys' personal handwriting and became a noble mercenary from an ordinary mercenary.
knight.
However, Viserys' canonization was not over yet.
He moved the Valyrian steel sword that was pressing on the girl's shoulder to his left shoulder, looked at the female knight kneeling in front of him with piercing eyes, and then said suddenly.
"Sir Mia."
"Will you be my Kingsguard?"
"From now on, I will not rest until my death. I will not marry a wife, I will not enfeoff land, I will not give birth to children, I will not wear a crown, I will not compete for honors and favors, I will fulfill my duties faithfully, and I will live and die here."
Viserys's voice floated on the silent lake, word by word.
The newly consecrated female knight, without armor and covered in scars, knelt on one knee in front of him, but her back was straight. If you look closely, you can see that the girl's shoulders are slightly hunched and her eyes are slightly red.
"I do, Your Majesty!"
"I will be a sharp sword in the light and a strong shield to protect the kingdom."
Then Viserys lifted the Valyrian steel sword that was pressing on the girl's shoulder and slowly put it back into the scabbard.
"Rise, Sir Mia, my second white knight."
"When I get back to Pantos, I'll introduce you to your captain."
The girl's mood seemed a little excited, and her fate was changed at this moment.
Now no one can know whether it was worth it for her to give up gold, titles and other coveted rewards in exchange for the position of Kingsguard next to Viserys. But right now, Mia can't help but burst into tears.
.
And Viserys put away the Valyrian steel sword and weighed the weight of the sword slightly in his hand. The black scabbard was plain and plain, and it was impossible to tell that there was a sword hidden in the scabbard.
Peerless magic weapon.
"A good knight cannot live without a qualified weapon."
Viserys glanced at her slightly and then said, then he threw the sword to the newly canonized female knight.
"This sword is given to you."
The female knight who had just become a member of Viserys's Kingsguard was still a little at a loss.
Snapped
She reached out and caught the sword thrown by Viserys.
"Your Majesty, this sword is too precious."
Mia said in a somewhat hasty tone. She knew that this was a precious Valyrian steel sword, and she had killed a dragon with her own hands. How could Viserys just give it to her so casually?
"You are my Kingsguard, and I give it to you to better protect myself."
"Don't worry too much, just accept it."
Viserys glanced at her and said in a calm voice.
"All Valyrian steel swords in the world have their own names. The name of this sword is no longer known. You can give it a new name."
"Like a dragon-slaying knife, oh no, a sword."
Viserys made a lonely joke that only he could understand. Although Mia did not understand Viserys' joke, she also understood what he meant.
Immediately the female knight knelt down on one knee, holding this extremely precious Valyrian steel sword in her hand and spoke.
"Thank you for the sword, Your Majesty. I dedicate my life and honor to the Kingsguard!"
