Game of Thrones: King of Harrenhal, starting with a blue hand stat panel
Chapter 61 The Old Rose's Test
In the afternoon, the green-robed spearmen rode ahead, with Arthur and the others following behind on horseback.
"We need to pass through three city walls to enter the core castle of Highgarden," the green-robed man explained.
Led by the man in green robes, Arthur took a good look at Highgarden, the capital of the Reach.
Intense green, gold, and white.
These are the three colors that Highgarden presents to all travelers.
The banner of House Tyrell is the Golden Rose of the Green Fields.
Green flags fluttered throughout the castle, and the soldiers were also dressed in green robes.
The fields of Takaba are covered with golden roses and flowers of all colors.
Inside the city walls, the high courtyard was like a green paradise, with flowers blooming everywhere.
As for white.
The marble Highgarden Castle on the hill and the three circular white walls protecting the castle are all white, even more sacred than the white clouds in the sky.
The lowest city wall surrounds the entire foot of the mountain.
Between it and the second city wall is a meticulously maintained plant maze, used to entertain guests and provide recreational opportunities.
Each wall was higher and thicker than the one in front of it, and was guarded by tall, elegant round towers.
In addition, it also has defensive uses.
White castles are considered fashionable; both the Eyrie and Highgarden favor white.
"My poor White Walls," Arthur thought with a pang of heartache.
The White Walls were so beautiful and luxurious, but they were all razed to the ground by the Blood Ravens.
"Highgarden is so beautiful, so lovely!" Veri exclaimed.
"So elegant," Lucas Root nodded in agreement.
The prosperity of Highgarden prompted Arthur and his group of bumpkins to constantly sing praises.
Compared to Highgarden, Riverrun is too small-minded, while Harrenhal is too desolate and menacing.
They were all underlings of the conquerors, so you can't simply blame the Tully family for being incompetent.
The Tyrell family's control of Highgarden and the Fertile Rose Plains is a force that the Trout cannot easily challenge.
Highgarden is a rival to the Eyrie for the title of the most beautiful castle in the Seven Kingdoms, and its scenery is certainly outstanding.
Veri, Lucas Jr., and Raleigh have rarely traveled far from home.
Even Arthur's hired knights Rosso and Song, given their status, were not qualified to enter Highgarden.
"A magnificent castle, a beautiful castle," Arthur exclaimed.
Highgarden is hardly a formidable fortress; these plant mazes could easily be burned down.
The Highgarden before us is already considered the second New Highgarden Castle.
The First High Court had already been burned down by the Dornes.
During the period of the Hundred Kings' War, the aging and incompetent King Garth X ruled in his later years, and the old king had no children.
The Bek and Mandalay families, who were the sons-in-law of the old king, fought fiercely for the throne, plunging the Reach into ten years of chaos.
The Dornes took advantage of the situation.
A king besieged the old town.
This king lived in a time far removed from that of "Starfire" Samwell Dane, by which time Oldtown had come under the control of Highgarden.
The most likely candidates are another King Blamont or King Dane.
Another king from either House Ellenwood or House Fowler led his army to conquer Highgarden, smashing and burning the oak throne.
The Dornish sacked Highgarden and burned it, reducing most of the city to rubble. The Dornish also killed the old king.
Ultimately, the Reach turmoil was resolved by Osmond, the Grand Steward of Highgarden, who defeated the rebels, Pecker and Mandalay.
He placed a distant relative of Old Wang, whom he had absolutely no connection with, in the highest position: Menen Gardener VI.
In gratitude for Rose's help, King Monne VI married his youngest daughter to Sir Robert, thus giving Rose the bloodline of "Green Hand" Garth.
"I wonder if there are any fragments left of the Gardener's family's oak throne," Arthur thought to himself.
Arthur wasn't particularly interested in the scenery of Highgarden; what interested him was the old oak throne.
The throne is said to have been made from an oak tree planted by "Blue Hand" Garth.
Throughout history, gardener kings have all sat on their thrones, and more or less still possessed the magic of the Green Hand.
Unfortunately, it was broken and burned, so it's unlikely that there will be any artifacts left.
One white-walled archway, two white-walled archways.
Led by the green-robed man, Arthur navigated through the plant maze.
After passing through the second city wall, you will enter the vassal state of Highgarden Castle.
Even in the vassal state, the people here are all considered wealthy and noble.
The real commoners live outside the first white wall of the High Court, along the road or the riverbank, and like Heron Town, they are considered part of Rose Town.
The green-robed man, determined to see things through, escorted Arthur all the way into the castle, behind the third white wall.
Green and white complement each other beautifully, making Gaoting a verdant paradise.
Gardens, pools, and artificial waterfalls adorn the entire castle.
The castle is filled with stone carvings, fountains and marble columns, with grapes and roses decorating the walls and sculptures, and the ancient buildings are covered with vines.
"Young Master Arthur, our young master is also in the rose garden of Highgarden. Would you please come? You can manage on your own, Young Master Arthur," the servant in the green brocade robe said politely.
"You're only inviting me?" Arthur emphasized.
He couldn't move without attendants and knights as bodyguards.
"Yes, Master Arthur," the servant confirmed.
"Go ahead, Arthur. I'll take them to rest first," Sir Lucas said.
"Alright then." Arthur followed the servant to the rose garden, wondering what the roses were for.
Arthur swaggered in with Tyrell's servants and went into the garden.
Inside the rose garden, flowers are in full bloom everywhere, and there are fountains, artificial pools, and rockeries.
Elegance, true elegance.
A boy with a shield embroidered with a pair of golden roses is fighting alone against two other boys who are also distant relatives of Tyrell.
"Young Master Arthur is here, Young Master Garland," the servant called out.
Galan was delighted and then stopped his training.
"I'm so glad you could come," Garland exclaimed. "Welcome, welcome!"
Arthur looked at Garland, thinking, "No wonder he was born a butler."
He is truly warm and welcoming in his dealings with people.
Look at his cousin Horst's family, both of Tully's married daughters are so arrogant.
They're all weirdos, but Rose is the only one who knows how to raise children.
"Good day, young master Garland, thank you for your enthusiasm. You're training very hard," Arthur said.
This chubby little boy is training so hard; he'll be a tough guy someday.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I aspire to be a master like you," Garan said.
Arthur didn't care; Garland's stats weren't low.
But Arthur is a unique numerical monster.
Garland gestured for him to enter.
Arthur followed him forward, where many of the Tyrell family members were in the gazebo beside the fountain.
Eating blood melon and grapes was a real treat.
The Old Rose, Olenna, the Queen of Thorns.
A sharp-tongued, thin old woman, with two sturdy young guards behind her.
The big rose, the bookish Velas.
Three Roses, the future Knight of Flowers, Loras.
Little Rose, little Margaret, still nestled in her grandmother's arms.
The Tyrell family members are typically brown-haired and have brown eyes.
Margaret stared wide-eyed at the stranger, a handsome young knight.
The Mays were the only ones not present.
"A distinguished guest from the Riverlands has arrived, Bat Rider. You've once again shone brightly at the Bitterbridge. How kind of you to visit us, such gaudy roses." The Queen of Thorns' words had a sour undertone.
When someone acts like a senior citizen, others are too embarrassed to refute them.
"Thank you for your kindness, madam. I am honored that you have granted me an audience." Arthur gave a graceful bow.
“I know your grandfather, Lord Walter, though we don’t know each other very well,” said the Queen of Thorns. “He used to be rich and generous, what is he doing at home now? I hear he’s filled with resentment.”
"He's getting old and tends to reminisce about the past," Arthur said with a shrug.
Arthur heard this.
My words are like those of the Queen of Thorns to Sansa, that foolish beauty.
She might be trying to get information out of him. Will He'an cause Robert any more trouble?
The Queen of Thorns looked at Arthur. "I understand. You are sad. We all feel sorry for your lost loved ones."
"Your grandfather was a good man, but also a loser, a sad man," the Queen of Thorns pointed out sharply.
Arthur adopted a righteous and stern demeanor, saying, "There are no losers; we are King Robert's loyal subjects. After I left Dragonstone, the king even sent me gifts."
"Alright, alright," the Queen of Thorns said, looking at Arthur's expression.
This young man is no ordinary person; Old Rose doesn't believe Arthur would be so kind.
Logically, Arthur should be angry and dissatisfied.
It seems he possesses not only the ferocity of a knight but also the cunning of a ruler; he is not merely a warrior.
