Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 69 Silver Wedding
Summer Hall.

The bells echoed throughout the construction site city, and every busy resident knew what it meant. Almost everyone in the city stopped what they were doing and cheered deafeningly.

Shufu is building a wall for his new house. He left King's Landing with his family three months ago. Thanks to the recruitment order issued by Zesar Shadowweaver, the envoy sent by the Varese family to King's Landing, the blacksmith's salary is higher than staying in King's Landing, and the Varese family will also give him a resettlement fee.

Xiufu was tempted. His daughter was getting better, but his family was struggling to make ends meet. Xiufu had good skills and was confident that he could pass the test of the blacksmith sent by Varese.

With the blessing of the Seven Gods, he succeeded and got the 25 silver deer as resettlement fee. He arrived at Wine Harbor by boat and followed the immigrants to Summerhall. His daughter then received a paid consultation from Maester Evans in the Church of Our Lady outside the Summer Palace.

This is a tradition left by Longzel's father. The students of Dr. Visari and the apprentices of Zesar Shadowweaver have to provide medical services to the people of the territory every once in a while. This also means that these apprentices of the Vareses family have sufficiently advanced medical skills even without the recognition of the academy.

Xiufu's daughter received a thorough diagnosis and treatment, and after several months of treatment, he regained a healthy daughter, which made him full of gratitude to the lord.

"Gods bless Varese!" Shufu also joined the civilians' shouting.

Vormithor was the first to roar, followed by Silver Wing and Shadow Nightmare. The Red Queen, Korakshu, and Syrax also roared happily. Although Vhagar's lazy roar was low, only Vormithor's roar could overwhelm the old dragon's voice. Yangyan's roar and the voices of Vormax, Arax, and Terekshu rose and fell one after another, equally matched.

The dragons seemed to be singing.

Inside the hall, Longzel, wearing Valyrian steel armor as a "Dragon Rider", stood beside the brazier with a smile, waiting for the bride to arrive with his brother who was also wearing Valyrian steel armor.

"Brother, I'm a little nervous to be honest." Valar was a little uneasy, but the unique touch of Valyrian steel armor brought him a sense of cool clarity.

"Drink my blood, please." Longzel whispered. Valar nodded, indicating that he had drunk the blood wine with blood magic as Longzel requested.

"That's good." Longzel nodded. "Relax, we are having a mixed wedding, Brother Korren and Steward Amor will preside over our wedding." The young man smiled mysteriously, "I promise there will be no wedding pranks."

"That's good." Valar straightened his back and waited for the bride to arrive.

King Viserys buried himself in Longzel's dragonglass throne, enjoying the warmth and coolness it brought him. This made the wound on his back, which had tortured him for a long time and was difficult to heal, no longer so painful.

Unlike the king who was almost asleep, the princess and the queen were much more active in the hall. Princess Rhaenyra and Prince Daemon held up their glasses and sat among the lords of the North and the Vale. Lord Forrest Frey of the Riverlands and his wife Sabithal Valpin, Lord Samwell Blackwood, and Lord Petyr Piper also sat beside them, drinking with the princess and the prince.

The nobles of the Crown, as well as many southern nobles led by Earl Thaddeus Rowan, also sat beside the princess. Duke Beaumond of the Stormlands also brought many nobles to toast the princess and Rhaenys.

The queen also had many lords around her. Lord Grafford Tully and Lord Jason Lannister were both with the queen and Great Aegon, as well as Ser Borros Baratheon and almost all the westerly nobles, Lord Hobart Hightower and a large number of southerly nobles.

Only the "Sea Snake" Corliss sat alone with the Dornishmen and the envoys from across the Narrow Sea. This weather-beaten old man had graying silver hair and fair skin that was obviously eroded by the sea breeze and the sun. The old man hesitated for a long time before finally sitting down with his wife.

Sitting next to the princess and the prince, Longzel naturally saw the distinct sense of division at his wedding, but none of this mattered; what mattered was his wedding.

The entire hall was covered with silver and purple silk ornaments of the Varese family. The musicians slowly played elegant music, and the hall became quiet. Lynn and Aslan were responsible for pushing open the door, and Lord Tully and Lady Jenny took Diana's hand and slowly walked into the huge hall.

Bishop Coleran, holding the Seven Star Bible, barefoot and wearing only a gray robe, followed the bride. Prince Jacaris, Ago, Alan Tully and Hoffa were responsible for holding up the bride's skirt and slowly walked to the other side of the brazier.

The bride, wearing a silver robe with a combination of silver dragon and hunter patterns, slowly knelt down to the groom wearing Valyrian steel armor. Longzel took the silver crown from the tall and bearded steward Amor and put it on the bride's head.

"Seven Gods bear witness." Bishop Korran looked at Longzel fanatically, opened the scripture, and slowly recited the Andal people's marriage testimony.

"The Seven Gods bless your union." Korron finally finished his long speech. "May your offspring be numerous and your vows last forever."

The silver-haired and bearded Amor took over the monk's job. He stood between the bride and groom, and the long winged dragon tattoo on his face slowly moved.

He opened the second stage of the wedding in High Valyrian.

"Blood and fire forged the ancient bloodline, and now, this bloodline will be infused with new power." The butler said slowly: "The descendant of the bronze dragon king, Longzel of the Vareses family, will use his pure silver blood to irrigate the future of the family. He will marry Miss Diana Tully of the border, a descendant of the ancient ancestors and a nimble hunter."

Dragonzel adopted another wedding custom. Instead of cutting his lips, he cut his palm at the beginning. Blood gushed out, and he dipped his blood into the blood and wrote the Old Valyrian words "silver" and "blood" on the bride's forehead. Diana also cut her palm and wrote "dragon" and "fire" on the groom's forehead with her own blood.

Then they clasped their hands together, and blood poured into the brazier, causing the flames to surge violently.

Valar and Leila repeated the same process, except that the people who lifted Leila's skirt became Azor Celtigar, Prince Luthris and Sebastian Jieyan.

"Blood and fire are joined, vows endure." The music in the hall rose as Armor chanted the poems of old Valyria.

The king led the applause. For a moment, the whole place was filled with thunderous applause. Great Aegon even stood on the table and screamed. Fortunately, Aemond pulled him down in time to avoid any weird consequences.

The wedding banquet was then held at the king's command.

After the banquet, the grand martial arts competition is about to begin.

Tomorrow's chapter is about the martial arts competition, and two chapters will be released together. It is expected to be available on the shelves next Tuesday, and five chapters are expected to be updated on that day.
