There were sudden commotion sounds from the crowd watching on both sides of the road at the Mud Gate. Some people even opened their mouths and made rude remarks directly to the carriage of the Prince of Dorne. The young Prince of Dorne suddenly looked angry when he saw his father being humiliated.
"shut up!"
"You lowly bastards!"
The dozens of Dornish soldiers following their prince's carriage suddenly became nervous, clenching the scimitars and shields in their hands.
"You are traitors to begin with!"
"The Dornishmen are just ignorant white-eyed wolves!"
"That's right!"
"They are just a bunch of uncivilized savages!"
However, Prince Quentin's angry rebuke not only did not cause these voices to disappear, but intensified and even more accusations and filthy words appeared.
Because of some previous actions, coupled with historical and other factors, the Dornish people are actually not very popular in all parts of Westeros. Everyone does not like the Dornish people because of their culture, appearance, beliefs, accent, etc.
They are all quite different from the mainstream culture of Westeros.
But Linhe Gate, also known as the Mud Gate among the people, is where the population at the bottom of King's Landing is relatively concentrated. There is a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are many people on both sides of the road watching the Dorne mission. Although the young Dorne prince is angry, there is no way to find out who it is.
Who makes such a sound in the crowd.
However, at this moment, a stone was thrown from nowhere in the crowd and hit Prince Dolan's carriage with a bang.
Clang
Clang
Clang
"Protect the prince!"
"Protect His Highness the Prince!"
As soon as this stone was thrown out, the situation at the scene changed immediately. The Dornish soldiers who were waiting for the formation pulled out the scimitars from their waists and raised their shields high. The giant man holding the giant ax also showed an angry look on his face.
"Find this man!"
On the other side, the Unsullied soldiers following Quentin instantly formed an iron barrel array to protect Prince Doran's carriage in the center.
"Oops"
Seeing this scene, Tyrion and the Onion Knight, who were following behind the carriage, looked at each other and saw something bad in each other's eyes. Then they quickly got off their horses.
"calm!"
"Everyone, calm down!"
Tyrion and Davos came over to act as peacemakers, but the prince of Dorne, who was so hot-headed and in a rage, could not listen.
"I'll kill you!"
Quentin Martell sat on the horse and immediately pulled out the long sword from his waist and pointed it directly at the rioting people. It seemed that he wanted to rush over and kill these people.
However, at this moment, a calm and unmistakable voice suddenly came from inside the carriage.
"Alio!"
"Stop him!"
Prince Doran, who had been insulted, still seemed very calm. He was not overwhelmed by anger, and calmly ordered his guard captain, the strong man Alio Hota holding a giant axe, to stop Quentin from killing people in the street.
The strong man had a scowl on his face. If he found out who threw the stone, he would definitely hit him with an axe. But just as his eyes were searching, he suddenly heard Prince Daolang's order.
Then, without any hesitation, Alio handed the giant ax to one hand, and with the other hand, he directly lifted Prince Quentin, who was drawing a sword beside him to kill someone, off the horse, like a lift.
It's as easy as holding a chick.
"What are you doing!"
"let me go!"
"I'm going to kill him!"
However, the black-haired boy still wanted to struggle, but was shocked by Alio Hota's deep voice.
"Your Highness, this is the prince's order!"
Quentin immediately became depressed. What he has been most afraid of since he was a child is his father. He seems to be able to see through people's hearts. He can often defeat Quentin with just one look without speaking.
There was a lot of noise on both sides of the road, but the convoy was safe and sound under the protection of Dornish soldiers and the Unsullied. After hearing the news, the nearby capital garrison rushed over to maintain order. After being beaten with sticks, the group of untouchables pissed themselves and fled in all directions.
The Dornish mission's convoy then left the Riverside Gate under protection. In order to prevent any further accidents, they did not choose to take the narrow hook alley but led directly from the mud road to the main road diagonally across the northwest and southeast corners of King's Landing.
, and then went straight to the Red Fort.
Now, in the throne room above Aegon's Hill, many nobles from King's Landing and officials from the empire have gathered here, and they are waiting for the arrival of Prince Doran.
The inquiries and explanations in the King's Landing throne room did not last long. Viserys called Prince Doran to Dorne. The main purpose was to shock and force Dorne to bow his head, rather than to really listen to what he had to say.
It doesn't matter what he says, it's his attitude about coming or not that matters the most.
If Prince Doran receives the Emperor's edict but refuses to go to King's Landing to explain, then Viserys may have to ride Balerion and tens of thousands of Imperial soldiers to Sunspear to invite his father-in-law.
, but the scene at that time may be a little difficult to end.
"There are many people in Dorne who want to start a war."
"But I've seen war."
In the garden of the Red Keep, Arianne and her maid Sansa took their daughter to play on the lawn under the shade of the trees, while Viserys and Prince Doran sat chatting under an umbrella.
The formal audience in the throne room was over, and then it was time for the family to get along. After all, Prince Doran was his father-in-law.
"I've seen mountains of bones piled up on battlefields."
"I've seen orphans in the city starve to death."
Prince Doran is still sitting in his wheelchair, but the Dornish Guards who came to escort him cannot enter the Red Keep, so the wheelchair can only be pushed by Prince Doran's guard captain Alio Hota, with his giant handle.
The ax was also temporarily confiscated after entering the throne room.
"His Majesty."
And this burly man with white hair pushed a wheelchair, and he also saluted respectfully after seeing Viserys. Even though they had been humiliated when they first arrived in King's Landing, this Norvosian was picky about etiquette.
No problems occur.
At the same time, he also raised his head and looked at Arianne, who was playing with her children not far away, with a rare warmth in his eyes on his serious face.
When he was sixteen, he followed Melario, who was about to marry Doran, to Dorne and became a bodyguard beside Prince Doran.
Therefore, Alio watched all the children of Doran and Melario grow up, especially Arianne, who was the eldest daughter of the two. Ario Hota had feelings similar to father's love for Princess Arianne.
Now that he saw that she could marry the most powerful man in the world and live happily, Alio Hota was relieved.
