However, Oberyn and Arianne did not appear at the reception.
Because Oberyn now serves as an important minister of the Imperial Council and needs to avoid suspicion with his brother, Oberyn did not appear at the reception.
Arianne was elevated to a higher status because of Viserys. Although she was the daughter of Prince Doran, she was also the queen of the empire and her mother honored the world.
Not to mention that Prince Doran was no longer qualified to let his daughter greet her in person. Even when he saw Arianne, he had to sit in a wheelchair and bend down to salute.
There were many other King's Landing people watching in the port of Blackwater Bay. They were also working nearby. When they saw the flag of the Martell family, they put down their work and looked over.
"Move over!"
"Move over!"
"anchor!"
The large ship flying the flag of the Golden Gun quickly docked at the ship's berth under the command of the port staff of Blackwater Bay, and then put down wooden planks for people to get on and off to connect the trestle and the ship.
Tyrion, the representative of the royal family, and Davos, the port representative, looked at each other, and then walked up quickly to the front of the ship.
Quentin Martell, the young man who was the heir of Dorne, had already urged his horse to the front of the ship, then dismounted. There were more than a dozen Unsullied soldiers beside him.
Not long after, the sound of a wheelchair rolling was finally heard on the deck of the cabin. A tall and burly man stood majestically in front of the ship holding a six-foot-long axe. Although his hair was already gray,
Anyone who underestimates him because of his age will surely pay a heavy price.
His eyes coldly swept across the crowd below, holding a giant axe, but he said nothing.
"What a powerful warrior!"
"My lord, is he Prince Doran?"
The attendant following Tyrion couldn't help but ask, but was glanced at by his master.
"As far as I know, Prince Lang needs to sit in a wheelchair due to gout and other reasons, and has not appeared in public for many years."
The person in front of him is obviously not Prince Doran. However, the Dornish people in King's Landing are called barbarians, and there are even rumors that they eat children alive. Therefore, it is natural that some people will mistakenly think that the strong man in front of them is Prince Doran.
strangeness.
However, then a Dornish soldier appeared on the ship pushing a wheelchair. Sitting in the wheelchair was a middle-aged man with gray hair and a thin body. He was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and had a Sunspear horse on his shoulders.
The coat of arms of the Tyrian family with its golden gun.
There are some accumulated wrinkles on the middle-aged man's forehead. His skin color does not have many salty features like Oberyn and Arianne. Perhaps it is because he often does not see the sun, and his eyes are deep, and he is looking at them at this moment.
Calmly overlooking the crowd below.
"Father!"
Seeing Prince Doran appear, Quentin Martell, the eldest son, hurried forward to greet him.
Prince Doran nodded slightly, and the Dornish soldier behind him who was in charge of pushing the cart also pushed his wheelchair off the ship and onto the pier of the port.
"my son."
Prince Doran saw his son, and there was a little ripple in his pair of ancient and unrippled eyes. Quentin had grown much taller than when he left Sunspear, and his body looked much stronger, and when he spoke,
There is also more calmness than before.
It seemed that Quentin had grown up a bit in King's Landing by his sister's side. Although Prince Doran was satisfied, his voice still did not fluctuate much and his face remained calm.
"Prince Doran."
"Prince Doran."
At this moment, Tyrion and Davos, the royal envoys and representatives of the local unit who were also waiting to welcome Prince Doran to King's Landing, also hurriedly came up.
Tyrion tidied up his appearance, coughed slightly and silently organized his words, then lowered his head in accordance with the regulations, and spoke in a polite tone.
"Dear guest, welcome to King's Landing."
"I am appointed by the royal family to greet you. I am the personal advisor to His Majesty Emperor Viserys of the Valyrian Empire. My name is Tyrion Lannister."
"And this is Lord Davos Seaworth, the Customs Master of the Empire and the Harbor Master of King's Landing."
"Your Highness the Prince."
Tyrion introduced himself quickly, then turned around and introduced the Onion Knight who was traveling with him. The Onion Knight stood behind him and lowered his head slightly to greet him again.
The thin, gray-haired middle-aged man sitting in a wheelchair narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard Tyrion's last name. In fact, he had just seen Tyrion in the cabin.
Looking at the other person's obviously larger than average figure, and the name of the most famous dwarf in Westeros, Prince Doran had already guessed the other person's identity.
Then looking at Tyrion's outstretched palm, he finally nodded slightly and stretched out his hand to shake Tyrion's hand.
"Lord Tyrion Lannister."
"Lord Davos Seaworth."
Then Prince Doran glanced at the Onion Knight and shook hands with the 'famous' smuggler.
One of the most famous dwarfs in Westeros, and an equally famous smuggler. Although it is not a good thing for a smuggler to be famous, now they both occupy important positions above the King's Landing.
Viserys was indeed very informal in employing people, and it was the era when the number of civilians in the court was the largest as recorded history.
Although the Martell family had made a marriage contract with the Targaryen family a long time ago, Prince Doran betrothed his daughter to Viserys, who was still wandering in a foreign country at that time. The two have even been married for many years and have given birth to a child.
a daughter.
But this was the first time that Prince Daolang saw his son-in-law, and in such a passive situation, seeing the two people who came to greet him, Prince Daolang also had some preliminary knowledge about his son-in-law, apart from the rumors.
learn.
Although Prince Doran did not want outsiders to see his weak appearance since the onset of gout attacks and has not left the Water Garden for many years, he still has a special carriage that can travel.
Then the simple welcome ceremony ended, and the special carriage transported from Dorne was also pulled off the ship, accompanied by the giant man who first appeared and dozens of Dornish soldiers.
Prince Doran was pushed into the carriage in a wheelchair, and then the curtain of the carriage was lowered. It was difficult to see the figure inside from the outside. Then the wheels slowly rolled towards the Red Castle, and Prince Quentin and accompanying Wu
The Grim Soldiers, Tyrion Lannister, the Onion Knight and others also followed.
"Traitor!"
"The Dornish Barbarian!"
However, at this moment, some curses sounded from both sides of the road in King's Landing Port.
