Game of Thrones: King of Harrenhal, starting with a blue hand stat panel
Chapter 45 Humiliation and the Wedding [Please read on, vote with monthly tickets]
The guests watched as King Robert Baratheon, returning from his affair, ascended the throne.
The king had black hair and blue eyes, and was tall and imposing.
He appears majestic and divine, yet his conduct is unlike that of a ruler.
"Sigh, I can't control them!"
Old Master Arryn, looking dejected, followed behind Robert and sighed.
The saying goes, "A son grows up and no longer listens to his mother," reflecting this common mentality.
Robert was so unrestrained and licentious, and this pair of illicit lovers really knew how to have fun.
Robert Baratheon and the unmarried Delinea Floren tainted Stannis's wedding bed on their wedding night.
Delinea was also the bride Celis's cousin and best friend.
This is not just ordinary infidelity; it is an insult to the newlyweds and to the sacredness of the wedding.
Dragonstone has many rooms and tents.
But Robert, recklessly, chose the most humiliating and depraved act of adultery.
This behavior was destined to cast a shadow over the wedding.
"Bring the wine!" Robert shouted after he had set off.
His sommelier quickly served the king fine wine, and the king continued to drink heartily.
With such a big appetite, it's no wonder he'll have a huge stomach in the future.
Robert could shamelessly return, but the Florentine girl was too ashamed to return to the banquet.
The guests remained outwardly calm, but their gossipy hearts were already itching to get to the point.
"What a scoundrel!"
"King of pirates, the sperm is on the brain!"
"Pervert!"
"Unfair rewards and punishments!"
Many people think this way about Robert.
It's one thing to have an affair when your own brother gets married.
They even had sex on his younger brother's wedding bed. Is this something a human being would do?
Stannis worked tirelessly for Robert, braving wind and rain, doing all the work of a firefighter.
Even Stannis's marriage was controlled by Arryn and Robert.
The girl from a collateral branch of the Florentine family was quite ordinary-looking.
Robert's actions have turned Stannis into nothing more than a clown.
Arthur glanced discreetly at Richard Hope, Justin Marseille, and the others in Stormland, their expressions all quite awkward.
Perhaps in their hearts, they were also disappointed in Robert.
In terms of relationships and abilities.
Who can be compared to Stannis?
Sir Lucas glanced at the awkward scene in the banquet hall and couldn't help but remark, "This is truly an eye-opener."
"Let's stir it up," Arthur thought to himself.
Robert did nothing but hurt those who supported him one by one.
Stannis, Robert's younger brother.
Justin, Richard, Robert's own stormground, the king's attendant.
Favoring petty people and alienating virtuous ministers leads to unequal distribution of resources.
Robert chose to side with Cersei and others, thus alienating his Stormlands base.
When Robert ascended to the throne, some of his old brethren fared worse than the in-laws who had joined him through marriage.
These people suppressed their resentment and directed it at the Lannisters.
Small streams become rivers.
Those Stormlands lords eventually joined forces with Renly to pull off a major heist, refusing to recognize Robert as the rightful heir.
"You're a millionaire now, Arthur," said Sir Lucas Dayne.
"We make money too," Lucas Root and Veri Ward laughed heartily with satisfaction.
"The more you win, the more you earn," Arthur nodded.
"I made a quick buck today, I'm on a roll." Arthur estimated his earnings from the Dragonstone Squire Tournament.
The martial arts tournament can be used to serve three purposes.
The winner receives a prize, the bet, and also the armor and horses of the losers.
However, if a knight becomes too famous, his odds will become very low, and the betting income will be less than winning the championship.
Awesome! Arthur's wallet bulged in just one day.
The total prize money and winnings amounted to nine thousand gold dragons.
The prize money is five thousand gold dragons.
King Robert gave four hundred, the most powerful princes usually gave two hundred, and the less powerful princes gave one hundred.
Other lords, knights, and noblewomen also presented nearly two thousand golden dragons.
There was also the profit from a successful all-in bet; the super leverage allowed Arthur to recoup his 4,000 gold dragons.
Sir Lucas, Root, and Ward, who also bet on Arthur, made a fortune.
"No wonder those famous martial arts tournament champions are all rich; they can make a lot of money from this round of competition," Arthur thought to himself.
The most outrageous thing was the tournament Robert held to celebrate the arrival of Prime Minister Ed, where the champion of the jousting tournament received a prize of 40,000 gold dragons, which was an astronomical figure.
Arthur was determined to pull off two big moves and continue to rake in the prize money at the tournament.
Making money through martial arts tournaments is arguably the most legal and lucrative way to profit right now, provided that the knight is invincible.
Jinlong's purchasing power remains strong today.
It costs thirty or fifty gold dragons to redeem an ordinary knight.
A knight of status has one hundred golden dragons.
For someone like Brienne of Tarth, who is the heir to several powerful lords, the ransom is three hundred gold dragons.
For heirs of top-tier feudal lords and great knights like the King Killer, the bounty is a thousand gold dragons, and the ransom is an unimaginable sum.
"Then let's continue the wedding!" Jon Arryn said helplessly, trying to smooth things over.
What could he do? He really couldn't control this spoiled adopted son.
"Keep playing!" Robert waved his hand and cheered, acting as if nothing had happened.
So the joyful atmosphere continued, but first Stannis Baratheon and his wife suffered.
"Woo woo woo woo woo woo!" The brass horn continued to sound.
"The groom is here! The bride is here!"
The groom, Stannis, and his wife, Celis, rode into the hall on matching pure yellow warhorses.
With his square jaw and stern demeanor, Stannis wore black trousers and a gold shirt with black crinkle sleeves and gold deer buttons.
Celis then took off the dignified dress she wore when she took her oath at the Dragonstone sanctuary and put on a sky-blue brocade outfit, with a corset that revealed her shoulders and the upper part of her chest.
Unfortunately, the bride was not particularly beautiful, and no one envied the Duke of Dragonstone's good fortune with women.
The guests noticed that both men's faces were ashen, and they were furious at the humiliation they had suffered.
If this gets out, it will become a huge laughing stock.
The sommeliers ran ahead, scattering countless rose petals.
"The bride and groom both looked ashen-faced!"
"Duke Stannis looks terrible!" That's what everyone said.
Robert hurt Stannis deeply, first with the Partition of Dragonstone, and second with the farce at his wedding.
Attendants escorted the Duke and Duchess up to the high platform, where they sat in the highest, most honored seats.
A row of long banners hung in front of them, in gold of Baratheon, sky blue of Florence, green of Tyrell, red and blue of Tully, and blue of Arryn.
"May the gods, old and new, bless you in harmony!" Robert said to the bride on behalf of the Stannis family, embracing her and kissing her hand.
Then Duke Renly stepped forward and bowed.
"May the old and new gods always protect you and give birth to strong boys!" Stannis then accepted kisses from his bride Serise's uncle, Earl Florence, her second uncle, and her two brothers-in-law.
The bishop of Dragonstone Church also stood up and began to lead everyone in prayer.
"Seven gods created us and will always hear our prayers. Close your eyes and there will be no more troubles. The gods will watch over you, little child. Stannis of House Baratheon and Celeste of House Florence will be one body, one mind, and one soul."
"Fill the glasses!" Robert announced eagerly after reciting the prayer.
His sommelier hurriedly stepped forward and poured an entire jug of Qingting Island dark red wine into the king's golden cup.
The king presented the gifts with both hands, saying, "Blessed is this marriage! May my brother Stannis and his bride Seris enjoy a happy marriage!"
"Long live Stannis! Long live Celeste!" the entire hall roared in response. "Long live Celeste! Long live Celeste! To marriage!"
A thousand glasses clinked together at the same time, announcing the official start of the wedding banquet.
Stannis and his wife Celis also raised the trophy, but their smiles looked rather forced.
It's not a harmonious marriage anymore; it's a shameful one.
Even with such a scandal, the wedding continues in a charade.
Before many of the Seven Kingdoms' lords, Stannis had to endure Robert's slaps with a forced smile.
