125 The dog that broke into the banquet
There seemed to be thousands of people attending the banquet in the vast throne hall, but the long table under the innermost Iron Throne could still clearly see most of the situation here.
This was not only because the table was higher than the rest of the hall, but also because there was a large enough open space in the center of the banquet hall for acrobats and singers to take turns performing, and soon many noble men and women would jump in and dance.
However, just as the two short gnomes dressed as clowns were performing a comical dance, a dusty chicken leg suddenly rolled out of the dense table and chairs, and "fled" towards the depths of the hall.
It was followed by a dog.
It was a white-haired pet dog with long ears, and its ears jumped and jumped when its short limbs ranched, and at the same time it barked in its mouth, but its voice was very faint in the greater noise of the banquet.
At the edge of the clearing, a middle-aged nobleman who was sitting there and talking and laughing with the people next to him was the first to spot the white dog running in front of him, and then he saw what it was chasing, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
Several people around him who heard the noise and looked at it also let out a burst of exclamation, and an old man with a shield coat of arms embroidered on his chest rubbed his eyes in disbelief and muttered blankly.
"What's that?"
No one answered his question, for the running puppy had already scurried to the two clowns, one of whom had ketchup smeared on his face and was dancing on one leg with a pig's bladder in his hand, and was spinning in circles, only to fall to the ground with a thud from the dog's scraping, and let out a cry of pain.
Many viewers who didn't know why thought it was a show prepared by the dwarfs and laughed at it, but some of the people who found out the truth were either dazed, frightened, or stunned.
The Duke of Tyrell of Riverland, who was close to the chief, was talking and laughing with the Duke of the North beside him, when he suddenly saw a dusty object jump on his table, and then it jumped into a bowl of bacon and mushroom soup on the table, and the hot soup splashed up, splashing the Duke of Tyrelll, but this usually made his face gloomy, but now he swallowed his saliva unconsciously, staring blankly at the rolling thing in the soup bowl with a more and more frightened expression.
But before he could scream, the thing that was supposed to be dead suddenly knocked over the bowl with a thud, and rolled quickly to the side.
Eddard next to Duke Tyrrell. Stark was also shocked, but instead of looking, he stabbed the thing with a dagger as it passed by, only to deftly roll around the thing as if it had eyes, and sped away.
The sound of saucers clashing with exclamations rang out from the long table here, and the dark yellow chicken leg that had "taken a bath" finally rolled into the arms of the Duke of Tully in the river, and then the old man was so frightened that he jumped to his feet, and then fell to the ground and rolled away quickly.
Seeing this, the puppy hovering under their table immediately rushed to track down.
"Gods above, what the hell is this!?"
Under the table, on the table, in the open space, in the aisle...... Bursts of chickens and dogs jumped accompanied by a series of yelling and screams of panic, at this time, even some people who did not see the real situation were attracted to attention, and the increasingly panicked atmosphere made many people hurriedly leave the table to hide, but many people approached.
The chief young king naturally did not ignore this, and he stared wide-eyed at the dog and chicken leg shuttling back and forth between the legs of the banquet crowd, and the new queen beside him also covered her mouth with a frightened face, and the two little boys not far away stared at the familiar thing without blinking, each thinking completely different from the others.
The farce was eventually stopped by one foot.
Stannis, who had left the table at some point, quietly walked to the route of the chicken leg jumping, and then "took advantage of it" to step on the soles of his feet, feeling the bursts of struggle under his feet that the chicken leg should not have, and he couldn't help frowning.
However, before he could bend down to pick up this thing, he suddenly felt his feet loosen, and then saw that the strange thing actually used the method of "taking off the skin" to break free from his trampling and quickly escaped, but this strange thing did not roll a few times, and the little white dog whimpering and staring at it had already reacted quickly and pounced, and couldn't wait to bite this thing in its mouth and chew it quickly.
It seemed so impatient, as if it thought it was some kind of human delicacy, and the chicken leg struggled in its mouth and front paws, but it could not break free, and finally it was eaten by the puppy so quickly that there was not even a bone left.
The hustle and bustle of the banquet was now quite quiet, and hundreds of eyes watched it all in a daze, and no one stepped forward to stop it, not even Stannis, who was beside the dog.
And the puppy itself did not turn around and run after achieving his wish, but as if he was drunk, he fell to the ground and puffed a few times, and then under the stunned gaze of many nobles, his lower limbs stood up and hugged the thighs of the neighboring people.
It's so absurd, but it's so weird.
After a moment of silence from the crowd, the silence in the throne room was shattered by unbearable laughter, followed by a series of unbearable laughs.
The person concerned was very calm about this, and looked down quietly to observe that there was no movement, but after seeing that the dog did not seem to have any other abnormalities except for estrus, he kicked it away.
Caught off guard, the puppy whined and howled and flew away, but after landing, he did not give up, but rolled up with red eyes, hugged the thigh of a red-robed figure nearby, and continued to vent his "beastly desire".
The laughter of the onlookers became more intense, and the red-robed figure who was hugged by his leg seemed to be drunk and dazed at this time, slumped on the chair in front of the dining table, and after feeling something wrong with his legs, he looked down blankly, and his muttering voice seemed very puzzled.
"Which good puppy are you, and why are you so enthusiastic?"
He had obviously not seen what had happened before, but his words caused a burst of laughter around him, and several dukes, and even the young king, began to laugh.
However, behind this laughter, a question has always lingered -
There was no connection, no external influence, and the light in the banquet hall was not strong, but that did not prevent people from seeing the truth.
A moving chicken leg?
It seems to be still cooked?
This was the first time in everyone's memory.
"It's so popular with dogs, I'll call you Soros raised by a son of a son of a dog in the future, hahaha." His Majesty the Young King pretended to laugh lightly, but his brow furrowed unconsciously, and someone next to him echoed it with a smile.
"It must be the impatience of the gods in the heavens that they have sent this dog to urge our King Majesty to end the banquet quickly."
I don't know if it was a joke or a self-soothing remark, but the feast continued, but many people became absent-minded.
The perpetual motion dog was shortly thereafter snatched up by a Frey family member in Riverland, apparently the pet of one of their families.
But few people noticed that after kicking the dog away, Stannis stooped down to pick up something that was still moving under his feet, and after a moment of thought, handed it over to a terrified Paischer.
