Chapter 257 The Champion of the Tournament
After leaving the Duke's room, Rhaegar told the two knights to watch the door and leave the main tower directly.
“Where are Old Tully's two sons?”
Rhaegar asked as he walked out of the main tower hall.
Gray Worm said in a muffled voice: "In the godswood, the two Tullys send people to fight in duels every day."
“Lead the way, I'm going to take a look.” Rhaegar determined the target.
Gray Worm followed his lead, called a few Unsullied to follow, and led the team towards the godswood.
The godswood of Riverrun is in a corner of the city.
is a bright and fresh garden with redwoods, flowers, a stream and bird's nests on the building.
Rhaegar and others crossed the river flowing around the main tower and stepped onto the small bridge to enter the sacred wood.
At this time, the small sacred forest was full of people.
Rhaegar heard the movement behind him and secretly gritted his teeth: "Waste Seed!"
As soon as we arrived nearby, we heard the sound of gold and iron clashing.
At least he has been in the position of heir for more than twenty years.
“Get out of here, I don't want to listen to nonsense.”
Rhaegar's voice became colder, and then he asked: "Since you have a communication channel, why don't you contact those officers who are loyal to your father, and become guests?"
Gray Worm's face darkened slightly, his spear lying in front of him.
"prince!"
Not only did they not manage the Riverlands properly, they also couldn't even settle matters within the family.
A black-haired boy stood on the edge. He saw Rhaegar's figure from a distance and screamed in surprise.
“Asshole!”
“Stay back, little Tully!”
Gray Worm nodded, admitting that he helped Elmont out of trouble.
Deep in the sacred forest.
Rhaegar has to step in for such a thing. Is the Tully family of Riverrun worthy of being the guardian family of the Riverlands?
Elmon was trembling with fright and wanted to explain in a panic: "Prince, I..."
Old Tully's two sons each led a group of people to confront each other.
He is the crown prince of a country, and you, Tully, the Duke, don't even respect him at all.
Not long after Gray Worm arrived at Riverrun, he sent someone to secretly contact him and wanted to get out of the room.
Rhaegar raised his eyes and said calmly: "Elmon, you are out."
If the Tully family has two more generations of such heirs, the royal family can really consider changing to a guardian family.
It would be a shame to keep it.
If you encounter trouble and don't want to solve it, write to him first for help.
Rhaegar took a look at Elmon's dress. He still looked like an aristocratic young man, and there was no change.
This guy said he was under house arrest, but in fact he was not subject to too many restrictions.
Almon lowered his head in shame and said, "They started so suddenly that I didn't react."
Rhaegar shouted coldly, pointed at his nose and lectured: "Since it hasn't reached that point, why don't you write a letter asking me to come to Riverrun to watch the show!?"
Old Tully's grandson said in a letter two days ago that he was under house arrest by his two uncles.
The second son, Milov Tully, was as skinny as a pole, surrounded by a dozen knights with different armor styles.
When asked by Rhaegar, Almon was a little confused and said tremblingly: "My grandfather is just sick, not to that point yet."
Almon waved his hands nonchalantly, not daring to come near.
Old Tully's eldest son who died was also mediocre and incompetent.
Old Tully's two sons didn't dare to stop him, and they didn't care about a young boy, so they released Elmon.
Rhaegar pushed him away and walked towards the depths of the godswood.
He frowned secretly and asked bluntly: "Your two uncles put you under house arrest, and you just let them do whatever they want?"
Rhaegar glanced back at Gray Worm.
Elmon was confused and wanted to step forward to apologize.
Divided into two groups, one in the south and one in the north.
As his only son, as long as the news is released, there will definitely be some die-hard loyalists willing to serve.
Elmon quickly ran up to him, showing an expression of surviving the disaster: "Thanks to the help of your guards, Prince, I was able to get out of the room."
The most eye-catching ones are the two monks wearing robes embroidered with seven-pointed star patterns.
Monks are the main members of the Church of the Seven Gods, responsible for spreading faith, teaching believers, etc...
The two missionaries in Harrenhal, who can also be called monks.
Opposite Milov is his red-haired, fat as a pig brother, Edmure Tully.
Rhaegar glanced at Edmure Tully and turned away in disgust.
The name Edmure Tully holds a lot of weight in the Tully family, slightly equal to Aegon Targaryen in the Targaryen family.
It is really an insult to our ancestors to give this dead fat pig such a name.
Edmure also gathered a large number of people around him, most of whom were proletarian knights.
Only a middle-aged man with gray-blue eyes attracted Rhaegar's attention.
The middle-aged man was wearing silver-gray armor that looked very expensive at first glance, and carried a palm-width heavy sword on his waist.
On the corner of his armor is branded a silver eagle with wings spread high.
That is the emblem of the Mallister family of Seaside City.
Seaside City is located in Eagle Point in the Riverlands. It is one of the few cities facing the sea.
Members of this family are noble and proud in appearance. They were once the kings of the Trident River Valley.
Rhaegar looked at it for a few times and kept walking.
The sound of footsteps quickly attracted the attention of both parties, and they turned their heads.
"Prince...Prince..." After seeing who the visitor was, they all saluted and greeted him.
Rhaegar had known Tully before moving to Harrenhal, and he was a regular visitor to Riverrun.
After the destruction of House Bracken, Rhaegar became the actual ruler of the Riverlands, and everyone in the Riverlands knew him.
Facing this group of useless idiots, Rhaegar had no patience to talk anymore and waved his hand to tell them to stand aside.
The two destitute knights who were still competing in the field immediately stepped aside and returned to their respective employers in dejection.
How much does it cost to fight in a martial arts competition?
Don't dare to offend His Highness the Prince.
Rhaegar walked directly to the middle-aged man of the Mallister family and asked doubtfully: "Count Lemon, why are you here?"
The other party is not an ordinary member of the Mallister family, but the earl and patriarch of the family.
Rhaegar had met him several times.
Earl Lymon is also one of the few riverland nobles who does not owe him private loyalty.
According to him, he respects the crown prince, but is only loyal to the king.
A person of great character and charisma.
Rhaegar's deepest impression of him was that he won the tournament championship in 105 AC.
That year was the tournament where Rhaegar was born and his mother died in childbirth.
That martial arts tournament called for the seven nations, which was an unprecedented grand event.
The person who benefited the most and performed most brilliantly was the former Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, Kriston Cole.
Col's force value is very high, and he is a dark horse who can catch everyone by surprise.
First, he used his lance to smash Harwin Strong's collarbone, thus fulfilling his title of "Bone Crusher".
He also defeated the brothers Ilic and Alec Kagel who were already serving as the Kingsguard.
In the finals, he defeated Rhaegar's good uncle Damon again and used a meteor hammer to knock away the Dark Sisters in his hand.
However, its victory ended in second place.
In the final showdown, Cole's meteor hammer was cut off by Count Lemon's heavy sword, and the chain ended in defeat.
As a girl, Rhaenyra complained to Rhaegar on more than one occasion. Lord Lemon's sword was so fast and fierce that Cole couldn't resist it.
Hence, Rhaegar had a good impression of this person.
Count Lemon held a helmet with wings decorated on both sides under his arm. He bowed slightly and said in a thick voice, "Prince, I came here at your invitation."
Speaking, he glanced at Edmure Tully.
The meaning is very clear, he was invited by this stupid pig.
Rhaegar was puzzled and asked, "What conditions did he promise you?"
Earl Lemmon had a sullen face and gritted his teeth: "Old Tully is nothing. He shamelessly asked one of my daughters to marry his youngest son."
The youngest son of old Tully is Edmure Tully.
Hearing this, Rhaegar suddenly realized.
The feeling is that the son-in-law asked his father-in-law to come forward. No wonder Count Lemon was present.
There is a saying that old Tully is indeed thick-skinned and considerate of his family.
Even a good-for-nothing like Edmure can marry a noble daughter from a big family.
It is worthy of the family motto: “Family, responsibility, honor.”
The importance of family always comes first.
Rhaegar tilted his head and asked carefully: "Count Lemon, why do you like..."
He was embarrassed to say Edmure's name for fear of embarrassing the other person.
Earl Lemon's face turned even darker, as if he could drip water, and his back molars gnashed loudly: "This stupid pig could have seen it a few years ago, and his martial arts skills were passable, but he was deceived by old Tully."
Looking back on Old Tully's eagerness to get engaged and hold a wedding, it seemed as if he wouldn't survive the next day for fear of not being able to see his youngest son get married.
Looking at it now, it seems that he was simply afraid that he would see through Edmure's true identity and not marry his daughter to the Tully family.
“Cunning Glover!”
Count Lemmon clenched his fists, eager to rush into the Duke's room in the main tower and see Old Tully off.
Seeing this, Rhaegar stayed away silently, feeling sympathy for the other person's frustration.
Old Tully is indeed not a human being.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Rhaegar looked at Old Tully's two sons again and said calmly: "I'm just a guest. You can continue the duel and don't worry about me."
Milov and Edmure looked at each other in disbelief.
They all knew that the prince had entered Riverrun.
After all, anyone who is not blind or deaf would know that such a **** dragon was circling in a circle over the castle.
But they were all afraid of this prince and did not dare to go and see him.
Huddled in the sacred forest like an ostrich.
Seeing that they made no move, Rega glanced at them and shouted: "Fight, you want me to teach you!"
The two Tullys trembled and quickly distanced themselves so that the knights of each other could take a stance.
Who dares to mess with the prince?
When this guy gets angry, the black dragon's dragon flames are no joke.
Two and a half years ago, a minor nobleman from the Riverlands disrespected the prince and turned him away.
That night, a fire broke out in the family warehouse.
Even dozens of horses in the stables and a warehouse of grain in the barn were all burned down.
The losses exceeded thousands of gold dragons, which directly dragged the aristocratic families with small assets into the stage of debt.
No one knows who started the fire, and there is no way to find out.
But the nobles of all sizes in the Riverlands all understand the truth.
When the prince comes to visit you, open the city gate politely and welcome him into the castle to entertain him.
This is no longer the Targaryen dynasty of the last century. The local nobles refused the requests of princes and princesses.
If you say two sentences of ridicule, then say two sentences of ridicule.
