Chapter 40: The True Identity of the Smiling Tree Knight? "He" is her?

At the same time as the Smiling Tree Knight Cleans Up the Frey Knights, there is a jousting contest between Rhaegar "The Dragon Prince" and Sir Arthur Dayne "Dawn Excalibur".

Sir Arthur Dayne excelled in two-handed swordsmanship, and he had a two-handed greatsword called "Dawn", which earned him the nickname "Dawn Excalibur".

However, apparently, he was the "Dawn Sword" instead of the "Dawn Spear", nor did he have a spear called "Daybreak", and he was eventually defeated by Rhaegar after breaking twelve carbines.

In fact, although he did his best, as the Kingsguard, Rhaegar was their future boss, and no matter what, it was inevitable that he would be restrained and would not dare to do it with all his might.

If he accidentally made the "Dragon Prince" a "dead dragon", he would definitely not be much stronger than Nezha, and without Aerys's order, he would probably commit suicide to thank the world.

Just as Rhaegar was getting off his horse, his father Aerys suddenly twitched, and he looked at the Smiley Tree Knight's Knight's Shield, firmly believing that the "smiley face" on the Smiley Tree Knight's shield was laughing at him.

Adamantly believing that the Smiling Tree Knight was Jaime Lannister, poor Jaime was driven back to King's Landing by Aerys after he was made the Kingsguard, and Aerys slipped back to the tournament after he concluded that he had disobeyed his orders.

In fact, Aerys may have deliberately found an excuse to clean up Jaime, after all, he made Jaime the Kingsguard just to disgust Tywin.

He then sent his knights to hunt down the Smiley Tree Knights, demanding that they swear to bring them to justice, including the newly dismounted Rhaeggar.

Even Robert was very curious about who the Smiling Tree Knight was, and kept guessing, Ed and Han Xing were terrified when they heard Aerys's request, the Smiling Tree Knight was obviously Holland Reed, what does it have to do with Jaime Lannister?

They immediately went to Stark's tent to find Lyanna and Brandon for an idea.

found that only Bunyan was in the tent, and Bunyan seemed hesitant about the two people's inquiries, but the two were anxious about the safety of Holland Reed, and they thought that Bunyan was frightened by the news.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” dusk, in the forest, a man dressed in patchwork armor, holding a shield painted with smiling fish beams in his hand, the painting was rough, as if it was a child's graffiti, and the carbine in his hand had been lost somewhere, it was the smiling tree knight.

Not far behind him, a handsome man in black armor with silver hair floating in the wind was galloping on his horse, trying to catch up with the smiling tree knight in front of him, it was none other than the "Dragon Prince" Rhaegar.

There were only two people in the forest at this time, and judging by the fine beads of sweat on Rhaegar's forehead, it was clear that he had been galloping for so long that everyone else had been left behind by them.

The Smiling Tree Knight in front of him also seemed to have reached the end of his crossbow, and white gas could be seen coming out of the gaps in the face armor, and it was obvious that the Smiling Tree Knight was also gasping violently.

A war horse's wail sounded, and I don't know if it was because he had been running for too long or because he had tripped over the roots, and the smiling Tree Knight's horse fell to the ground and let out a sigh of relief, and the Smiling Tree Knight was thrown off his horse.

He rolled on the ground a few times before stopping, but luckily the ground was covered with soft grass and he was not harmed. His visor was so patchwork that his helmet fell off his head and rolled not far away.

When Rhaegar caught up, he saw the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life, it turned out that she was not "him", she had long brown hair, and unusually fair skin, she was slumped on the grass, and there were even a few weeds stuck to her brown hair, plus her armor, she looked heroic, it was Lyanna.

Yes, the Zedians don't know how to ride horses at all, and of all the people who know about Holland Reed, the only ones who are probably the Smiling Tree Knights are Holland Reed, Lyanna, and Bunyan.

Excluding Holland Reed and Han Xing, who can't ride horses, and Bunyan, who Ed has seen, the answer is about to come out, it can only be Lyanna, not to mention Lyanna's superb equestrian skills, known as the "centaur"?

"If you want to arrest me, you can arrest me! I did the right thing! It seemed that the armor was too heavy, and Lyanna couldn't get up after trying again, so she had to yell at Rhaegar instead.

Rhaegar was stunned, the moment he saw her, there seemed to be a thunderclap in his mind, and he found in her a feeling of homogeneity, a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu, which made his loyalty to his wife shake for the first time when he saw the female knight, and his heart had a violent fluttering feeling.

"Why should I arrest you, I have also heard about the Zedi people, and you are doing the right thing." Rhaegar dismounted and picked up Lyanna, his hands trembling slightly.

He smelled a wild, free smell in her, it was a fragrant smell mixed with grass, she was so vibrant like a proud rose, which was definitely not possessed by all the women Rhaegar had ever met, his wife Elia, was a well-read and intellectually beautiful woman, a typical aristocratic lady, she was beautiful, but she did not give Rhaegar such a stunning feeling.

The other women were dressed in colorful silk and yarn, and they smelled of perfume and fat powder, although the fragrance was tangy, but it looked vulgar and boring, no wonder people would describe them as "vulgar powder"!

It was only in the woman in front of him that Rhaegar found the taste that made him excited, because this woman was so rebellious, so lively, so hated bondage, and actually wore armor to participate in the jousting competition! She yearns for freedom as much as Rhaegar does, as if she were the bird that broke the cage, she was freedom itself!

For the first time, Rhaegar felt that he was in love with someone, it was love at first sight, yes, he fell in love with this lively female knight, and his mind unconsciously imagined her riding a horse with him on the grassland at sunset, imagining her boating on the sea with him, holding her waist and watching the sunrise and sunset with her. Imagine that she and herself hold a "concert" in the slums, sing one sentence by herself, she will sing one sentence after another, and she will sing and sing, and her husband will sing with her wife. Imagine that you can bring the crown of the queen for him, and imagine that she is the one who receives the cheers of the people with you!

Rhaegar watched her fascinated, immersed in the imagination of a bright future, and smiled infatuately. Until Lyanna poked him in the lower abdomen and said, "Prince Accumulator!" Accumulate the prince! What happened to you? There was a bit of confusion and confusion in the voice, a little eagerness, and a little more concern.

This concern is like the rain from heaven falling on Rhaeggar's dry heart, and the seed called "love" that is about to die is nourished by this drop of nectar, and instantly sprouts and quietly grows in Rhaeggar's heart.

Lyanna gave him a slap in the face and said, "What do you want to do, Prince Rhaegara!" Please respect yourself! Seeing that Rhaegar was slapped back half a step by this slap, Lyanna actually looked at her reddened palm, as if she was worried about whether she would hit too hard.

Rhaegar woke up from his beautiful fantasy, and he was suddenly disappointed, because he remembered that he already had a wife, although she was not his true love, but she was indeed the wife he was marrying.

Rhaegar stroked his face with loss and shame and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Lyanna, I just can't help itβ€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’I'm sorry" This man with a cold face blushed rarely, as if he was a teenager who confessed to the girl he liked for the first time.

Lyanna's face flashed crimson, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't.

"Let's go! I'd say I didn't find the Smiling Tree Knight, or that I killed him! Rhaeggar's face gradually returned to normal, and his voice became cold again.

"Won't His Majesty blame you?" Lyanna said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm his eldest son, it won't be good, just have this!" As he spoke, Rhaegar bent down to pick up the shield with the smiling tree on it, and smiled and raised it in his hand towards Lyanna.

"Do I have the privilege to protect you all the way back? My lady! Rhaegar bowed and stretched out his hand to Lyanna, his every move was so noble and elegant, as if he were the reincarnation of Prince Aemon, the "Dragon Knight" in the story.

"Okay, okay" In fact, Lyanna has no possibility of refusing, after all, she can't get up on her own.

It was the first time she had been so close to the lover of her dreams, and Rhaegara's hands were as smooth as silk, fairer and more slender than herself, but so powerful.

Along the way, she races horseback riding with Rhaegar and listens to Rhaegar sing for her alone, and as she gets to know her better, she becomes more and more attracted to Rhaegar as much as Rhaegar is attracted to her.

It wasn't until dark that they returned to Harrenhal separately.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Han Xing and Ed finally found Holland Reed in a place on the shores of the Lake of God's Eye.

"Damn, how did you get away from those knights?" Han Xing was dumbfounded.

"What pursuit? I've always been here! Holland Reed said with a blank expression.

Han Xing looked at the surface of the lake and the damp clothes on Holland Reed, and immediately thought of the way Horan Reed escaped, he must have escaped the pursuit by jumping into the lake and then swimming back.

"Well done! Boy, your acting skills are great! Han Xing and Ed both praised him in their hearts, and they didn't break it.

Rhaegar returned to Aerys with the ridiculous shield, claiming that he had failed to catch the Smiling Tree Knight, but that he hadn't made him any better, and that most people had no problem with the outcome, after all, the hunt was just due to the mad king's paranoia.

Although Aerys was not happy with this, his father couldn't do anything to him, as Rhaegar thought.

When Hanxing and Eddard return to Stark's tent with Horan Reed, they are surprised to see that Lyanna has returned, and she looks hasty, but they are not surprised by the fact that "she-wolf" is known to be active.

"Look, our little hero is back!" Han Xing said to Lyanna.

Lyanna's body trembled visibly, and it wasn't until he looked back and saw Han Xing and Edra and Holland Reed that he realized that the little hero they were talking about was not him.

Even Bunyan's face froze, apparently he knew about Lyanna's affairs, after all, he had helped put together the armor.

"Yes, Holland, I'm happy for you!" Reacting to this, Lyanna immediately turned around and smiled at Holland Reed.

Thinking that they had only heard that the "divine messenger" of the Smiling Tree Knight had done justice for him, and was glad about it, he immediately smiled and nodded.

In the eyes of Ed and Han Xing, it seemed that he had tacitly acquiesced that he was the Smiling Tree Knight and successfully took revenge. Obviously, Lyanna was trying to mislead them into thinking so.

Tomorrow is the fifth and final day of the Harrenhal Tournament, and there will be only one event tomorrow, the final event to determine the ownership of the championship, and this showdown will be between "Dragon Prince" Rhaegar and "Fearless Barristan", which can be described as the most exciting scene of the tournament.
