"Father, I want to go back, is that okay?" Jenny, a noble lady who had been carefully trained, would not say something full of affirmation like 'I want to go back' to her father, but would say a soft 'I want to go back'. Her original intention was to go back, not to go back.
In order for the family to regain its prosperity, Count Gavin has carefully cultivated Jane for more than ten years, and now it is time to ask his daughter to reciprocate, hearing her daughter say 'I want to go back', the smile on Gavin's face gradually stiffened, and finally, his face became ugly.
Daughter Jenny is Gavin's hope for reviving the family.
"Why?"
Not only is Jenny beautiful and knows etiquette, she is naturally intelligent, and she can see what her father can't see, or what she can't see, and see more clearly.
After thinking about it, she thought that it would not be a good thing for Duke Tywin to suddenly adopt her as his adopted daughter!
"If Duke Tywin really wants to adopt me as his adopted daughter, why doesn't he invite my mother to the adoption ceremony?" said Jenny softly, bowing her head slightly, not daring to look her father's eyes.
Count Gavin was so angry that his heart ached.
Earl Gavin's wife was named Hibel Spicer. Cibel's grandfather is a businessman, and her grandmother is the "Toad Witch" of Lannisport. In the TV series, the girl Cersei and two aristocratic girls go to ask the "Toad Witch" about their future, a girl is so frightened that she runs away, and a girl trembles, but Cersei is not afraid, and threatens to clean her up if she doesn't tell the prophecy, and that witch is Cipbel's grandmother, Jane's grandmother.
Count Gavin was in great difficulty in his family, and he refused to cut the expenses of servants and pomp for the sake of the so-called honorary family of the great nobles, and because he coveted the rich dowry of Hipbell's merchant father, he married Herb, who was not a nobleman, which became a joke among the nobles of the Western Realm.
Tywin's eldest brother, Kaivon, rejected Count Gavin's proposal, not entirely because of Gavin's poverty, but partly because of Hibbel, who was not a nobleman.
This was a marriage that Count Gavin later regretted, but he could not afford to withdraw from the marriage because of poverty, and he could no longer afford to pay the dowry of the Hibel family. If you don't divorce, the family's aristocratic honor has been stained, and if you divorce, not only will you not be able to return the dowry, but it will also damage the ancient honor of the Westerling family.
According to the rules, even if the daughter of a commoner is adopted as an adopted daughter, the daughter's parents have the right to enter the ceremonial church, kneel in front of the statue of the seven gods, anoint on the holy oil, pray to the seven gods, and receive the blessings of relatives and friends, but Duke Tywin made it clear in the letter that he did not want to see Lady Cibel in the Seven Sacred Church in Castle Rock.
Turning a blind eye to Duke Tywin's unconscionable demands, Earl Gavin happily dressed up his daughter Jenny and traveled with him to Castle Rock.
In order to be as worthy of the family's nobility as possible, he used four horse-drawn chariots, eight guards, and two coachmen. As for the relatives of the family, most of them have no contact.
Jenny didn't care about the blessings of other relatives and friends, but she hoped that her mother would be respected by Tywin, but Tywin didn't respect Seabell, which made it difficult for Jenny to erase the feeling of bruising her dignity, and she finally mustered up the courage to tell her father that Duke Tywin didn't respect the Westerlings, so she 'wanted to go back'.
This made Count Gavin's face turn blue and his heart ached.
Earl Gavin took a moment to calm his mind, and he said softly, "All right, let's go back." ”
Jenny was overjoyed, her gloomy expression was swept away, and in her ecstasy she wanted to grab her father's neck and kiss him on the face, just like when she was a child, but she sat dignified and motionless, she knew that her father would not like her 'presumptuous', she was a noble lady, she could not be wild, she needed to maintain noble elegance.
Earl Gavin stretched out his hand to open the curtain and said to the family's groom, "Ah Yu, hurry up." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Syllable!
Syllable!
Smack!
The coachman's whip crackled in the air, and the four good horses immediately accelerated, and the carriage ran like the wind.
For a good horse, don't really whip it, throw it in the air and it will understand what the owner means and run. Don't whip a horse, this is also one of the etiquette of the Westerling family to educate the grooms.
“...... Father ......" Jenny's voice was full of grievances.
"Jenny, let's get to Castle Rock sooner, we'll be able to finish the adoption ceremony sooner, and then we'll be able to go home sooner. ”

In the evening of the next day, as the sun set, on the official avenue north of Kaiyan City, a huge knight rode a tall horse to block the road, surrounded by more than twenty cavalrymen, except for a guy with a smile on his face and a petite female cavalryman, the rest of the cavalry were either vicious in appearance or had a lewd and evil aura on their faces.
The Earl of Gavin's carriage was forced to stop, and the eight guards guarding both sides of the carriage were all discolored, and in their way was Sir Gregor Clegane, a notorious man known as the Magic Mountain in the West.
"My lord, the magic mountain is in the way. One of the guards whispered to Count Gavin through the curtain.
Inside the curtain, both Earl Gavin and Jenny were shocked.
The mountain is Duke Tywin's dog of the cruelty, coarse and of poor character, followed by the most vicious and vicious people, and the mountain has a reputation for tarnishing aristocratic women.
Earl Gavin lifted the curtain, got out of the carriage, and stood on the carriage to raise his breath and speak: "Lord Gregor, Gavin Westerling greets you. ”
Gregor's voice was like thunder, "Oh, Count Gavin, your daughter Miss Jenny is in the carriage. ”
Gavin's face changed, and on both sides of the carriage, eight cavalry guards immediately stepped forward and blocked the carriage.
"Sir Gregor, it is Duke Tywin who has written to invite us to Castle Rock, and he will take my daughter Jenny as his adopted daughter. ”
"Hmm!" Gregor snorted.
More than twenty cavalrymen around him suddenly charged, spears raided, the distance was too close, the incident happened suddenly, and before the Earl Gavin's guards could draw their swords, they were put on the chest by the spears, throat, face, and lower abdomen.
Count Gavin and the eight guards were restrained in the blink of an eye, not daring to move.
Gregor and his men were notoriously domineering, but it was rare for them to be so arrogant to a nobleman with the status of an earl.
Count Gavin was dumbfounded and incredulous.
"Count Gavin, tell your guards and grooms to get out of the way!" said Gregor, whose voice was like a bell, and the eardrums of Count Gavin ached faintly.
Count Gavin's face turned blue and white. He raised his hand, and the eight guards looked miserable, and they retreated step by step, until they reached the back of the carriage. The two grooms hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and stood trembling under the road.
Gregor's cavalry was like wolves, and immediately guarded the carriage from front to back, left and right.
The smiling knight beside Gregor was none other than Sweetmouth Ralphd Clegane. He grinned, untied a large package from his horse, and jumped off the horse with it, striding to the carriage. He opened the package and took out a shiny copper plate and two bulging skins.
Gregor was surrounded by young female horsemen who were none other than his adopted daughter, Julie Clegane. She jumped off her horse, and with great agility came to Raff, crouched down, reached out and opened a skin pouch, and poured the clear spring water from the pouch into the copper plate.
Earl Gavin looked at the smiling Raff and the nimble Julie with blank eyes, wondering what these rampant dogs were going to do?
