Chapter 147 The King’s Wedding

He enveloped the letter in layers.

Under the candlelight, the winter night shone with a cold light.

Gently touching its thin sword surface, the number of people in the world who can reforge the Valyrian Sword can be counted on one hand. At this moment, he became curious about Veggie's father. It was obvious that his name did not have a surname.

.

"Old friend, I thought we would never see each other again." He muttered softly.

The sword turned sideways, reflecting a ray of light. The winter night seemed to say, "Our journey is not over yet, man."

Journey?

He shook his head silently.

This letter gave him a noble status, and also brought him something more, perhaps it would be better to say responsibility.

Just as Stannis thinks in his heart, the Iron Throne and the common people and noble knights of the Seven Kingdoms are his responsibilities, because he is the most orthodox heir to the Iron Throne.

And the bloodline he carries still has a layer of hatred waiting for him to solve.

His enemies are in the north, in the west, in the riverlands, in the valleys, and are distributed in most of Westeros.

So where can he go?

He stood up from the table and walked to the window sill.

The Prince of Dorne wants him to go to Dorne, and when the Dothraki and Tyrosh mercenaries land on Westeros, Dorne will raise troops in his name to respond.

I wonder if he is excited?

Cole looked at the stars in the sky and asked himself, "What should I do?"

He put on the black and gold clothes, while Dulan wore white and blue clothes.

"Sir, I heard that they prepared seventy-seven dishes." Little Fatty Dulan said excitedly,

Cole nodded slightly. This matter spread throughout the castle. Everyone knew that Lannister was generous, and the seventy-seven dishes showed the lion's wealth.

"How are our gifts prepared?" Cole asked him.

According to the tradition of the Reach, people distribute gifts to the bride and groom in the morning before the wedding.

So they had to prepare a gift for Joffrey, and they prepared a hammer for him.

When they reached the Queen's ballroom, it was already crowded.

Prince of Dorne, Lord Matus Rowan, Lord Paxter Redwyne

During this time in King's Landing, Cole had never interacted with Joffrey, so he sent him his gift.

"I wish you a happy wedding, Lord Joffrey." He put the hammer on the table.

"I am the king." There was a hint of anger on his face.

Cole didn't say anything, just nodded ceremoniously, and then stepped away.

It wasn't until Lord Paxter Redwin presented a model of a wooden ship that Joffrey laughed happily, and then raised his voice, "I will use it as a flagship to sail straight to Dragonstone and kill the traitors."

His eyes looked provocatively towards Cole.

All eyes turned over and saw Cole sitting among the seats with an unconcerned look on his face.

The little devil presented a book to his nephew king - "The Chronicles of the Four Kings".

"This is a book that every king should read, Your Majesty." Ser Kevan Lannister explained to him.

Obviously Joffrey would not miss an opportunity to tease his uncle.

Lord Tywin presented the king with a long sword. The scabbard was made of gilded cherry wood, wrapped in oiled red leather, and decorated with a solid gold lion's head. The lion had ruby ​​eyes.

Cole wondered in his mind if he could use the Valyrian sword.

Sure enough, it was a Valyrian sword.

Joffrey danced happily and asked everyone what name they should give the sword.

The guests were all talking, and someone said a "widow's wail." Joffrey happily used it.

He promised to use this sword to create countless widows. Then he took the sword and slashed at the books Tyrion gave him.

At the end of the banquet, Mrs. Ellaria helped Prince Oberon walk past Cole. He looked up and said, "This is such a willful boy."

"I recommend that you also read this book." The prince said to him.

"I know a little bit about the deeds of the four kings, Daeron the Young Dragon, Baelor the Blessed, King Aegon the Mediocre, and Daeron the Good. There are some books recording them at Storm's End and on the Great Wall."

They retreated together.

"Are you going to go back after the wedding?" the prince asked him, walking very slowly because of his injured foot.

Cole nodded, "Go back to Dragonstone first, and then go to Storm's End Castle. Where is His Highness the Prince?"

"That imp king wants me to attend his royal council."

They returned to the yard together.

The king's wedding took place the next day at St. Belle's Cathedral.

Cole followed Oberon in a sedan chair. Recently, everyone in the castle knew that the relationship between the Prince of Dorne and the Marquis of Summerhall was very close.

St. Belle's Cathedral is a magnificent marble dome building with seven crystal towers standing in it. From the gate to the interior of the church, you have to walk through a long corridor. This corridor is called the "Hall of Lights". On the ceiling of the corridor

Many colored lead glass balls hang.

During the wedding, the newlyweds take their vows between the tall gilded statues of Heavenly Father and Our Lady.

So they walked all the way through the corridor, walked into the doorway, and came to the altar where the wedding oaths were taken. The place was already full of witnesses. They were about to witness King Joffrey Baratheon I and Margaery.

Tyrell's Wedding.

The High Septon wore a crown made of gold wire and crystal. Joffrey wore a dark rose coat and a dark crimson velvet cloak decorated with stags and lions. The crown was elegantly worn on his curly hair.

Margaery Tyrell wore an ivory silk gown and a Myr lace skirt with countless small pearls forming various flowers.

The king and his wife swore sevenfold marriage vows, received seven levels of blessings, and exchanged seven promises.

Then exchange cloaks.

After taking the oath at St. Belle's Cathedral, they will return to the castle to hold a banquet, with the Kingsguard leading the way.

The king and his wife followed closely behind, and Prince Tommen carried a basket and scattered rose petals for them.

They were greeted with a wave of cheers.

The banquet was held after dusk, and a long table was set up in the throne room, which was brightly lit.

Cole led Duran forward, and the herald immediately shouted, "Sir Cole Julius, Marquis of Summer Hall, Sir Duran Bar-Almon, Earl of Point City."

Someone's eyes were attracted. Lord Julius's handsome face always attracted countless ladies to look at him. Some people felt that his brilliance had even overshadowed today's groom. Of course, his clothes were not luxurious.

.

Attendants wearing royal costumes led them to the long table, and the auditorium was filled with musicians who were cheering for the banquet.

"Lord Tyrion of House Lannister, Lord Treasurer and Foreign Secretary of the Kingdom, and his wife Sansa Stark Lannister."

The little devil heard the herald shouting that hateful title.

This time it once again attracted a lot of attention.

The king and queen came on white horses, and their attendants covered them with flowers and scattered countless rose petals. The Kingsguard escorted them onto the high platform.

Cole entered the dining room and listened to the Archbishop's prayer. Joffrey immediately ordered the attendants to fill up the wine and then announced the start of the banquet.

The King's seventy-seven dishes began to be served, the first being a rich stew of mushrooms and snails in butter.

Cole was not used to eating snails, so he only tasted a small bite and then stopped moving.

The singers began to play for the banquet. They would ask for the names of songs before playing. Many of them were songs that Cole had never heard before. On the Great Wall, the night watch brothers could only sing those rustic yellow ditties.

But Cole heard one song - "The Rains of Castamere"

The name made him shrink back.

Another one named Corillo Quinyantis sang a song - "Dance of the Blood Dragon"

Seventy-seven dishes were served one after another, and Cole was quite satisfied.

There was a lot of laughter and chatter at the banquet. The guests were intoxicated with the wine of Qingting Island and also indulged in the joy of the banquet.

The clowns and jesters were singing and dancing. Suddenly the door of the long hall opened and a bunch of dwarfs ran out.
