Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 68: Prelude to the Silver Wedding

Dragon's Nest, Laurel Tower.

As early as a few weeks ago, the people living in this beautiful tower began to prepare for today's wedding. The maids went to the simply set up "Summer Market" to purchase silk and flowers to decorate the appearance of the girls who were about to enter the marriage hall.

The bride's mother, Lady Jeyne Rowan, came from Horn Hill to help her daughter take care of the guests. And Lady Layla Celtigar, she successfully entered Valar's heart in a few months of getting along. Well, she didn't do anything, just fulfilled the duties of a wife, took care of her husband's daily life, and assisted Diana Tully in handling affairs. Diana also discovered Layla's advantages. She was a girl who was very good at accounting, and because of her brother's love, she was simple and naive. Everything was so beautiful in the eyes of the little girl.

"Sister, try this one." Leila was wearing a slim silver-white robe, holding up a white cape decorated with amethysts and rubies, and gesturing on Diana's body. Two silver-haired maids were putting makeup on Diana.

"Leila, you should also go and put on your makeup." Diana gestured to her shawl and nodded with satisfaction. "We can't always trouble our mother and the princesses. After putting on our makeup, we have to take on our responsibilities."

"Yeah." Leila sat down in front of another mirror swiftly, and the other two silver-haired maids immediately came forward to put on Valyrian-style makeup for the little girl.

The whole room was busy, with no room for others to intervene. Even Mrs. Jenny, who wanted to come in to see her daughter, gave up the idea when she saw the scene in the room and continued to entertain the guests.

In addition to Dorne, knights, warriors and nobles from all over the country gathered here. They either set up tents in the suburbs or stayed in the newly completed inn in Summerhall.

The king's family had arrived a day earlier, with Aegon the Great and Aemond descending from the sky on their dragons. It is said that the roars of Vhagar and Vermithor could be heard even in Winehaven.

Princess Helena also brought her newborn twins, Jaehaerys and Jaehaera. She did not ride her dragon Dreamfyre, but chose to ride in the wheelbarrow with the king and queen. Viserys specially arranged a marriage between Jaehaera and Rey, although Rey was speechless when he looked at the baby in the cradle.

Duke Beaumond of Storm's End marched south with a team of hundreds of men. His team included Borros and his four daughters, as well as a group of great nobles from the Stormlands.

The team from the Riverlands was led by Lord Loras Tyrell, and included many nobles such as Earl Hobart Hightower and Mond Hightower, Earl Thaddeus Rowan, and Prince Daeron. Unfortunately, Tesserion could not lead people on long-distance flights, so it had to stay in Oldtown.

Lord Corlys Velaryon, the Lord of the Tides, came across the sea with his wife Princess Rhaenys, and their two granddaughters, Baena and Rhaena. Of course, Princess Rhaenys arrived at Dragon's Nest first riding on the Red Queen, and she was now talking eagerly with Lady Jeyne.

The nobles of the royal territory arrived by land, led by Earl Simon Staunton and Earl Gorman Marseille, several days later than Collis.

The westerly contingent arrived with the riverlands contingent, led by Lord Jason Lannister himself, who brought several carts of gold to make amends to the two grooms for his "offense". The old Lord Glover Tully also came in person in a sedan chair, with his grandson Ser Elmond Tully at his side, Lord Forrester Frey holding the banner for House Tully, and Lord Samwell Blackwood and Lord Amos Bracken leading the way for the two contingents.

This pair of enemies actually did a good job.

The Vale's troops arrived together with the North's troops. Ser Benard Stark accompanied Lord Cregan Stark south. They were accompanied by the "old" Lord Rodrik Dustin and the young Lord Domeric Bolton. Lord Manderly provided them with ships to the south and sent the knights of White Harbor and his own sons.

Duchess Jeyne Arryn also left her castle. Lord Lyon Corbray and his brother, Ser Corbray, holding the Valyrian steel sword "Lady of the Empty", were responsible for protecting the Duchess's safety, while the young Lord Artis Royce was responsible for leading the entire team. Well, in fact, there were also people from Dorne. Tygarro was ordered to return to Dragon's Nest and brought the alliance request from the Yronwood family. Moros, the steward of the Martell family, finally found an opportunity and announced that he came to celebrate on behalf of the Martell family. As for the Dayne family. Some people claimed to have seen Ser Quinlan Dayne of High Hidden City and the flag of the Dayne family. It's just that I don't know if they are an official delegation.

People also came from the other side of the Narrow Sea. The envoy from Braavos arrived in Dragon's Nest with the new year's profits from Vareses' workshop in the City of Water. He also brought the blessing of the Sea King. The Tiger Party supporters who came from Volantis in pursuit of Dragonzel tried to offer the crown again, but were rejected again.

When the sun just rose on the wedding day, Princess Rhaenyra and Prince Daemon rode their dragons and landed in the dragon's lair in Dragon's Nest. Tyreke flew beside the two giant dragons. The princess brought her two sons, Joffrey Velaryon and little Aegon.

"Diana, I suggest you try that top decorated with Valyrian steel." A cold voice came from the door.

Diana looked towards the door in surprise. "Sister Obaya, why are you here?"

"If that idiot Albin can't even protect his home, he should not live." Obara leaned against the door with her arms folded, and Dawn was still hanging behind her. Longzel's guard Hoffa, the Lawbreaker, stared at the girl. He knew that Obara would not do anything out of line, but every time he saw her disregarding the rules, he had the urge to shoot her to death.

"I came to see your wedding and see if I can fight with the Kingsguard. I heard they are the strongest knights in the world." Obara did not enter the house, but just admired Diana and Leila changing into complicated bridal gowns. "Congratulations, Diana."

"What about you, Obara?" Diana tightened her shirt. "Do you have a guy you like?"

"It." Obara smiled and patted her sword. "I have sworn to the gods to marry the Dawn. Oh, and I have to go to the arena. I won't bother you. Get ready, little Diana."

Obara made a joke and stopped disturbing the two brides' preparations. She wanted to quickly familiarize herself with the arena.

The sun gradually moved toward the center of the sky.

The wedding is about to begin.

The guests were already seated in the hall. The hall of Dragon's Nest City was quite large, more than enough to accommodate these great nobles and famous knights.

A huge brazier stood in the middle of the hall, with flames blazing.

The bell rang.
