"I should have gone to Winterfell to see you long ago, but unfortunately there has been a war abroad recently and the state affairs are busy."
The Stark family's motorcade, holding the direwolf flag high, came to the front of the Tyrell family's welcoming team and stopped. Then a guard dismounted and stepped forward to unload the ladder for Catelyn, and then helped the former Duchess down.
Got the carriage.
King's Landing is a land where the warm monsoon blows. Caitlin, who had a bit of white hair in her auburn hair, stepped out of the carriage and saw her future son-in-law, Willas Tyrell.
Willas bowed and saluted, while Caitlin looked him up and down, and then smiled.
Willas is the third Prime Minister of the current empire. He holds a high position, is resourceful, and comes from a noble family of the Rose family in the Reach.
Although the Rose Family has declined since it was confiscated from Highgarden, Willas is now valued, and it is only a matter of time before it returns to its former glory.
Caitlin is very satisfied with her prospective son-in-law. The only regret is that Vilas is a cripple and broke his leg in a competition when he was a teenager. This makes Caitlin feel that he is not worthy of her.
That daughter who is as beautiful as a flower.
However, Sansa herself doesn't seem to care about her husband's leg problem. After all, the two are set up by Her Majesty the Queen and can fall in love freely. As long as Sansa is willing, Lady Catelyn can relax.
"No matter how big a personal matter is, it is a small matter; no matter how small a national matter is, it is a big matter."
Lady Catelyn looked at her prospective son-in-law and smiled.
"Now Her Majesty the Queen is fighting in the Eastern Continent to attack those fools who do not abide by honor and only know gold. As the Prime Minister, you naturally need to do your best to handle state affairs."
The culture on the continent of Westeros is slightly different from the culture of the trading city-states on the continent of Essos. The main reason is that the nobles of Westeros are old nobles who have been around for hundreds of thousands of years. Their names refer to a piece of land.
symbol.
Therefore, the nobles of Westeros generally pay more attention to honor and reputation, and value long-term development and rule rather than short-term money.
However, the culture in the Free Trade City is different. There are not many families with long heritage in the Free Trade City. They are generally eager for quick success, pay more attention to gold, and even use unscrupulous means in competition.
Lady Catelyn is undoubtedly a good mother, so she is also very disdainful of Volantis's behavior of instructing the red monk to assassinate His Highness Aemon.
Everyone within the empire was equally indignant about this and supported Her Majesty the Queen in launching this war to deal a heavy blow to this unruly enemy.
The country is waging a war abroad. As the Prime Minister, Willas Tyrell's work naturally becomes busy, not only dealing with domestic affairs, large and small, but also reporting to nobles from all over the country.
Vilas also had to take into account distant wars and arrange supply routes and materials to ensure that the front line would not lose the battle due to supply problems at the rear.
After all, a war cannot be won by transporting all the troops and sending out dragons, especially since there is a saying that goes before the troops and horses move, and the food and grass go first.
Lady Catelyn and her soon-to-be son-in-law Willas were chatting.
"lady."
Willas's sister, Little Rose Margaery Tyrell, also stepped forward, slightly holding up her skirt and giving a gift to Lady Catelyn.
Miss Margery has a pair of beautiful big eyes, tall breasts and slender waist. She wears a long dress that looks like blooming petals and has a sweet and attractive smile.
Compared to a few years ago, Margaery is even more beautiful. She can be called the most beautiful flower in King's Landing. Of course, this does not include the queens. After all, no one dares to make fun of Her Majesty the Queen, otherwise it will be easy for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to
He was caught in the secret conversation and thrown into a dark prison to be tortured.
However, the once youthful little rose has matured, but no one dares to pick this flower.
Because almost everyone in the empire knows that this young lady from the Tyrell family was once the lover of His Majesty the Emperor, there are even some malicious speculations that Willas, a lame man, can become the Prime Minister and marry his sister.
It is not unrelated to the emperor's dragon bed.
Maybe Villas relied on his sister to be the lover of His Majesty the Emperor and relied on nepotism to rise to power.
Of course, these speculations are just malicious. Viserys's reuse of Willas has nothing to do with Margaery. He likes Margaery because he likes her intelligence and beautiful appearance.
The tidbits about King's Landing were later spread to Winterfell along with Sansa's family letters.
Because Robb was once fascinated by Margaery, the more beautiful a woman is, the more deceitful she is, and as a beautiful woman, Sansa is very wary of Margaery.
She felt that Robb could not compete with Margaery at his level. Neither of them were players of the same level. Therefore, Sansa tried to persuade Robb to stay away from Margaery, but at that time Robb did not take it seriously.
My sister's persuasion fell into my ears.
And Lady Caitlin knew about this past incident. She looked at Margaery's beautiful face and lifted her skirt to salute gracefully. She thought of Margaery being His Majesty's lover and toying with her son's feelings, and she couldn't help but feel a surge in her heart.
Got a feeling of disgust.
But Mrs. Caitlin's emotional intelligence is not low, so she will not expose her shortcomings in person, so she just smiled implicitly and nodded.
"Miss Margery."
The Stark family's motorcade coming from afar met the Tyrell family's welcoming team. The two parties exchanged greetings and then set off towards King's Landing.
Because of the rules in the palace, Sansa, as a maid of Her Majesty the Queen, could not leave the palace easily, so Sansa did not come outside the city to greet her.
However, Queen Arianne still held a dinner in the Red Keep to entertain the Stark family who came all the way from the north.
Viserys allowed his daughter, Princess Diana, to join the battle for the throne, and the three children competed fairly, so Arianne, who had originally given up, regained hope.
Of course she hopes to get more support for her daughter.
Arianne originally asked her natal Dorne for help, but was rejected by her father, Prince Doran.
Because Dorne focused all its energy on the eldest prince Heros, mainly supporting him to ascend the throne, and did not want to cause any extraneous problems.
Therefore, Arianne could only find another way out.
This time, she brokered a marriage between the Stark family and the Tyrell family, and letting her maid Sansa marry the Prime Minister Willas Tyrell was one of Arianne's tricks.
She hopes to win the support of the Starks and Tyrells for her daughter, Princess Diana Targaryen.
