Before leaving, Lady Catelyn Tully of Winterfell repeatedly warned her, her eldest daughter, that she attached great importance to Viserys's wedding.
Because she had previously learned about the existence of public trials through some of the relationships her husband and father had left behind.
Therefore, Caitlin spent all the means at her disposal during this period, running around and engaging in relationships, hoping to send a message to Viserys and let her husband find a way to survive, as long as he could live, no matter it was wearing black
Yi is still in jail.
However, these activities were not as big as the surprise when Viserys personally found the wolf girl Sansa Stark through the palace steward and asked her if she would like to be the wedding flower girl.
When Caitlin heard her daughter say this, she was like a desperate drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood and trying her best to hold on to this last hope.
Therefore, the Lady of Winterfell began to personally go to battle after receiving the news, running around to rehearse the wedding process, ensuring that her daughter Sansa would not make any mistakes at the wedding, and trying to win the favor of the king and queen.
Of course, the 'like' that Catelyn Tully refers to is not the love between a man and a woman. Sansa has not yet had her first period, and is even younger than the little princess Daenerys.
However, the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms have the habit of accepting adopted sons and daughters or servants from each other. Caitlin's husband Eddard was once the adopted son of Jon Arryn, the guardian of the valley.
If Sansa can win the queen's favor and be accepted as a maid, or Robb can become a squire to His Majesty the King, it would be worthwhile to exchange for her husband's freedom.
The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms accepting each other's adopted sons and daughters or serving as maids may seem similar to hostages, but in fact it is a win-win means of emotional exchange.
Adopted sons and daughters will not be mistreated on the other side. If they can become the adopted children of the royal family, or the king's attendant, the queen's maid is a symbol of honor.
For example, Tywin once wanted to send his son Jaime to King's Landing as a squire to Prince Rhaegar, and Tywin's wife Joanna was once a maid to Viserys's mother, Queen Leila.
"Sansa, whether your father can survive depends on your performance this time."
The Lady of Winterfell hugged her daughter and begged her daughter to behave well no matter what.
Catelyn is undoubtedly a good mother, but caring is chaotic. She cannot accept that her husband is beheaded or hanged, so she does not know how much psychological pressure her words have brought to her daughter Sansa.
So much so that when the little red-haired beauty walked slowly out behind the king and the bride, her mind went blank, her cheeks turned red, and she didn't even know which leg she should walk on, so she could only move forward like a wooden man.
"His Majesty."
"His Majesty."
There were many people at the wedding. The crowd in the Great Sept of Baelor was like an ocean, whispering to each other. When Viserys walked out, there was silence.
The distinguished guests stood at the front of the red carpet on both sides with their family emblems on their chests.
Due to well-known reasons, the parents of the new couple, Viserys and Arianne, could not come, so Viserys invited his great-uncle Maester Aemon as his elder.
Arianne's uncle, Prince Oberyn, was originally going to attend as an elder of the bride's family, but due to some special reasons, Oberyn had already left the capital with his army.
His mistress Ellaria Sand was not his legal wife, and she was from a humble background and was not qualified to stand in the forefront of the king. Therefore, the palace steward and Arianne simply canceled the elder position on the bride's side after discussion.
Fortunately, there were still family members of the bride at the wedding.
"Hey, sister."
The young man with a neat face and black hair stood at the edge of the red carpet and called quietly, winking and making a face, and was given a sharp glance by Arianne.
It has been a year or two since Arianne left Dorne. She changed from aspiration to become a great Dorne queen to a virtuous and virtuous queen of the Seven Kings.
Prince Quentin didn't know that his sister had ever wanted to compete with him for the heir to Dorne.
If there is no conflict of interest, there will naturally be no conflict, so the two of them are still deeply affectionate as brother and sister.
Now Aegon and Quentin, two young men, were lined up on the left and right sides of the red carpet, holding flower petals in their hands and looking at each other.
The performance band was playing soothing and melodious music. Following the steps of Viserys and Arianne, when they finally passed in front of the two teenagers, they simultaneously threw the petals into the air, and then the pieces fell down.
Viserys took Arianne's hand and climbed the steps to the statues of the Heavenly Father and the Virgin. The fat Archbishop held a huge crystal crown on his head, with a serious and sacred expression on his face, and recited the oath.
.
The wedding ceremony in Westeros is very cumbersome and lengthy. The band quit and was replaced by a choir composed of seventy-seven monks. The newlyweds standing in front of the statues of the Father and the Virgin will take sevenfold marriage vows and accept
Seven blessings, seven promises exchanged.
Because the seven gods worshiped by the church are actually seven different forms of one god, representing seven different virtues, the number seven has been integrated into daily life in Westeros.
For example, there are seven members of the Kingsguard, a seven-pointed star, seven faces of God, seven levels of hell, etc.
In the end, the Archbishop asked if anyone had any doubts about this sacred marriage, but the audience was completely silent. This is one of the customs at weddings in the Seven Kingdoms.
Then the fat Archbishop announced that under the eyes of the gods and the witnesses of all the adults, King Viserys of the Targaryen family and Princess Arianne Martell from Dorne were officially married.
Thunderous applause suddenly sounded below, and the bells of the Great Sept. rang again and echoed in King's Landing. This was the second time the bells of the Great Sept. rang in a month. The people who were watching outside the Great Sept. of Baelor heard.
When the bell rang, there were warm cheers.
"His Majesty"
"His Majesty"
After the wedding ceremony ended, Viserys took his queen and stood under the statues of the Heavenly Father and the Virgin, receiving blessings and gifts from many nobles.
There was a dinner waiting for him tonight, but the bridal chamber ceremony was cancelled, because Viserys ordered that whoever dared to bridal chamber would have Mia chop him with a sword.
The overall wedding ended like this, but the gray-haired old man who had just watched Viserys and Arianne outside the church.
At this moment, in an unobtrusive corner not far from the church, a group of men and women in ragged clothes gathered around them, with expressions of indignation on their faces.
"Pregnant out of wedlock!"
"The Queen lost her virginity before her wedding! She cannot receive the Blessing of the Virgin!"
