Since there is no cathedral in Riverrun, in fact, the Tully family in Riverrun is still largely inclined to the Old Gods, so the wedding of the two couples will be held in the Tully's sacred grove, under the witness of the Old Gods.

People lit torches and gathered in the sacred forest, not to mention, under the reflection of the firelight, there was really that sense of ritual.

It's spring now, and the Divine Wood Forest of the Tully Family is far less heavy and solemn than that of the Stark Family, and the owner has a terrifying fish beam wood carved with a strange human face, and the cold wind blows, and even the trees in the Divine Wood Forest look solemn; The Sacred Tree Forest of the Tully Family was full of life, and even though it was night, it was still green in the spring, with a meandering stream flowing through the ground, and flowers blooming on the branches, exuding a burst of fragrance.

In the middle of the Sacred Wood Forest, there is a lonely, slender fish beam tree, if you don't pay attention, you won't even notice that it is an idol of the old gods with the same carved human face, you will only think that it is an inconspicuous tree.

This person's face did not look terrifying, but there was a touch of tranquility and sorrow, as if he was a thin wise man, thinking about something. God knows how these fish beams grow, maybe this fish beam is just the "little brother" of the fish beams, or if it is such a fish beam that likes to stretch high.

Jon Arryn and Eddard Stark were both dressed in their costumes and waiting under the "wise" fishbeam, Jon was dressed in a blue velvet robe, with a white eagle coat of arms on his chest, and a white cloak with a silver eagle relief clasp, the mouth of the cloak glittered in the light of the fire, and he looked energetic and holding his head high.

Eddard was also dressed in a similar outfit, a white long-sleeved shirt covered with a heraldic burqa of the same color, and a vivid dark blue ice wolf head on the burqa, which was the coat of arms of the Stark family.

The crowd stood around, waiting for Horst Tully to bring his daughters up.

It wasn't long before they arrived, and Caitlin wore a bright and conspicuous red dress, with corners decorated with gold thread and embroidered patterns.

Lysa wore a blue dress with silver threads at the corners, red and blue in the coat of arms of the Tullys, red representing the red earth of the river and blue representing the river.

With one daughter in each hand, Horst Tully walked towards the wedding with both of them.

Then it was time for the name question, and Jon Arryn stepped forward and said, "Who came to the Old Gods?" Normally, this role would be played by the man's father and brother, but given Eddard's family situation and Jon Arryn's age, Jon Arryn had to take it on his own.

The woman's representative, of course, was Horst Tully, who replied: "It is Catelyn Tully and Rysa Tully of the House of Tully, two mature women, born of a proper wife, of pure blood, who have come to ask the old gods for the blessing of their marriage. "Usually this role will be filled by the woman's father and brother.

Horst Tully then spoke, "Then who came to marry them?" "This is the part where the man introduces himself to the old gods.

"Jon of House Arryn, Duke of Eagle's Nest, Guardian of the East." Jon Arryn replied that he had to use his full title to answer the question.

"Eddard of House Stark, the rightful heir to the title of Guardian of Winterfell and the North." Ed and Jon spoke at about the same time.

Then they both asked at the same time, "Who brought her and gave her to me?" ”

Horst Tully replied, "Horst of House Tully, Duke of Riverrun, Duke of Riverlands, their father. ”

Then Erin was going to continue, "Miss Caitlin, are you willing to accept this man as your husband?" This refers to Eddard, and Catelyn blushes at Ed and says, "I do!" Obviously, Catelyn was quite surprised by Ed's big change in appearance, and the girl was obviously very surprised.

Then he asked Lysa, "Miss Lysa, are you willing to accept this man in front of you as your husband?" Of course, this refers to himself, Lysa is obviously more nervous than her sister, and of course, every woman is nervous at her own wedding, after all, there is basically no such thing as experience.

She hesitated for a long time before she seemed to have the courage to speak, "I do!" "This paragraph is actually quite embarrassing, but unfortunately there is no way, I'm afraid the old gods wouldn't have thought that someone would get close to 60 and still marry a wife!

Finally, Arryn declared, "In the witness of the old gods, I declare you husbands and wives in the name of the old gods!" "That's a courtesy.

Having said that, Han Xing was really curious about what it would be like for Wald Frey, who had lived for more than 90 years, to marry his sixth wife. Maybe he didn't have a proper wedding at all? Otherwise, where to find an elder to represent him? Unless his elder is Vali Frey.

Theoretically, the explanation for the existence of these links is that because the old god doesn't know you, and his old man has a lot of opportunities, you have to introduce yourself to his old man, otherwise he doesn't know you, how can he witness your marriage? If you are looking for someone to witness the marriage, you must at least tell them what your surname is and what it is not. However, in Han Xing's view, the meaning of the existence of this link is all kinds of showing off, showing off his aristocratic status, at least now it only has this meaning, like announcing to all the guests, "Look! My son-in-law is so awesome! ”

"Look! How tall my wife is! ”

Perhaps the marriages of these noble families were in this tone, but fortunately the whole ceremony did not last too long, and then there was a sumptuous banquet, of course, without the ridicule and blessings of the newlyweds.

Robert seemed quite happy to-day, and although he was married to his good brother and adoptive father, he walked around the wine table as if he were married.

Ed, who was sitting with Caitlin, looked cramped and uneasy, if you use the current statement, Ed is definitely a person with severe social disorder, but in that era, this is not surprising, after all, people in that era had far fewer social occasions than now, such banquets and weddings are only held once every few years, and they are also between nobles, so there is basically no such social expert, and it is considered a pass if you can maintain decent etiquette.

And later Ed also came out of his own style, simply using seriousness and unsmiling to hide his social barriers and crampedness, but it really frightened almost everyone, only Robert and Bunyan, who knew him well, knew how much Ed hated social situations.

And today is Ed's wedding day, not to mention sitting with his bride, a little nervous, almost everyone understands. In view of the fact that the marriages of this era are basically political marriages arranged by parents, those who have seen their wives before marriage are considered to have won the jackpot, if they have a good impression of each other, it is already a match made in heaven, coupled with the early age of marriage, most people are basically this wooden virtue in their weddings.

What's more, all the guests attending the meeting were vassals of the Tully family and the Erin family, who would be bored and dare to joke with these two?

It is impossible for modern society to drink and prank, after all, they are a duke and a quasi-duke, and most of the nobles of the Riverland appear for the purpose of currying favor and making a sense of existence.

Robert is a social expert, he walks through the wedding scene, like the presence of the number one best man, coupled with his transcendent status, makes him like a fish in water, with a sunny and handsome smile, he is almost the most active member of the wedding.

Han Xing was placed in a seat near the middle, and together with Roy, this is already quite good, after all, Han Xing is not from a big noble, and he is only a knight, and he didn't throw him in the last row for the sake of Robert and Aylin's face.

Robert, who was drunk, soon came to Han Xing's side and said to him: "Hanschel, today is a good day for Ed and Duke Arryn, come, have a drink with me." As he spoke, he couldn't help but stuff the cup into Han Xing's hand.

Han Xing had to drink it in one gulp, in fact, he could probably understand Robert's state, on the one hand, he was sincerely happy for his friend, and on the other hand, he felt sad when he thought of his fiancée whose whereabouts were unknown, so he had to use wine to drown his sorrows.

The next day, Han Xing followed Jon Arryn back towards Eagle's Nest City, Jon Arryn could still take Rysa with him, but Ed could only leave Catelyn in Riverrun City for his father to take care of, the newlywed Yan'er faced the tragedy of long-term separation just after getting married, which was really miserable enough.

Even on the road, Arryn was not idle, he discussed the future plan with Robert and Eddard, and finally decided to have Eddard and Robert return to the North and Stormlands respectively to gather vassals, and then join Arryn and the army of the Tully family.

Due to the addition of the Riverlands, Eddard will be able to return to the North directly by land to gather vassals, of course, he will not take the same path as the Twin River Cities (because the attitude of the Freys is not clear), but will instead turn back to Saltworks and go all the way north to the northern gateway to Carlin Bay. Roy, because of his stealth skills, will follow Ed north. What Han Xing didn't know was that the appearance of him and Roy at this time had changed the development of this world to a certain extent, perhaps because of Roy's existence, the marriage with the Tully family was advanced, so that Ed didn't need to take a boat around a big circle.

Before leaving, Robert came to Ed's side and said, "Ned, take care, I have nothing to give you, so I'll give you this group of Alpine clans as a guard!" As he spoke, he pointed to the group of Takayama clans behind him, led by Dove. He made a lot of effort to make them understand that he didn't want to sell them, but only temporarily lent them to his good friends as guards, and repeatedly emphasized that Ed was an existence of the same level as himself, that is, the "eldest brother" in his mouth, and would never treat them badly.

Ed had no choice but to accept Robert's parting gift and say to his old friend, "Take care, Robert!" With this Alpine Clan mercenary, Ed and Roy's safety was guaranteed, and Han Xing even secretly handed over 10 "Devil Terminators" to Roy as a backhand to prevent any problems from occurring in this group of Alpine Clan.

Han Xing decided to follow Robert and take a boat back to the Stormlands in Seagulltown, but unexpectedly received the shocking news that Count Gaffson in Seagull Town had actually defected as a royalist force, which meant that Robert would have to deal with the damned Earl Gaffson first if he wanted to return to Stormlands.
