248 Hanging
There were nearly two hundred people in the Dorne Emissary Mission, but most of them were guards, and there were more than a dozen official members accompanying them, and there were only two of them that Lan Li cared about.
Oberlen, who led the team. Martell was one, the so-called object of marriage to Alene. Martell is also one.
Oberon was a thin, black-haired, black-eyed man, nicknamed the Red Viper, but when he talked to him, he didn't see any hostility or viciousness at all, but he was humorous and seemed to be full of kindness, as if he really came for marriage.
Relatively speaking, the princess of Alyne was much more tender, and although she was a little embarrassed when facing Lan Li, the Dorne woman has always been known for her openness, and this embarrassment seemed a little deliberate.
Of course, if there is no psychic moment, Lan Li can't be sure of this.
"You're a great dancer."
After a dance in the banquet, Lan Li opened her mouth to praise the petite and plump black-haired woman in front of her.
"Thank you." The other party replied with a smile, his facial features were three-dimensional and beautiful, but the olive-colored skin made Lan Li really feel a little weird.
But that didn't stop him from inviting the princess of Dorne to sit down at a table in the corner of the banquet hall.
"It's tiring to come to King's Landing from Dorne, isn't it?" He asked as he took the glass and bottle from the waiter, and then poured the two of them with his own hands.
"It's tiring, but it's also fulfilling. The view from here is very beautiful. Princess Arlene, dressed in an exotic manner, said in praise, and when she took the glass, her soft fingers touched Lan Li intentionally or unintentionally, and then immediately dodged it.
This seemed to be teasing, Lan Li raised an eyebrow at this, "Then stay here for a while, and wait until this matter is over?" β
"Of course, when things are done." Princess Aleen pursed her lips and replied with a smile, her black eyes blinking, and there was a faint sense of innocence.
It's a pity that Lan Li, who maintains the ability of psychic moments, was not fooled by this superficial appearance at all, he glanced sideways at Oberun, who was dancing with his mistress in the dance party not far away, unconsciously squinted, turned his head and suddenly asked, "What do you think of this marriage?" β
The black-haired exotic beauty was stunned for a moment, and then replied softly, "I will obey my father's arrangement." β
"I mean, the marriage itself." Lan Li asked meaningfully, "Do you think it is possible to succeed?" Two of us? β
These words made the other party frown, and then said, "Why is it impossible?" We are here to get married, and we have shown our sincerity. β
Lan Li shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, but didn't continue to say anything.
Alene didn't say anything, she felt that the person in front of her was strange, and even wondered if this excessively young looking guy had discovered something.
However, when she thought about everything before, she didn't notice what she had exposed.
Could it be someone else.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but look at Namelia who was dancing with her uncle in the hall, the person named Lan Li before had danced with that uncle's mistress, but ......
Nemelia was a simple fool and didn't know anything at all. She thought to herself, looking at her uncle's other mistress, but shaking her head again.
Although she is shrewd, she also doesn't know anything, and although her uncle dotes on her, she shouldn't tell anyone else about this kind of thing......
Alene didn't think much about it, after all, the suspicion in her heart was only a hint, or just a guess and she couldn't be sure of anything, and at the same time, the person in front of her also began to talk about other topics, so she gradually attracted her attention.
The person named Lan Li in front of her gave her a very special impression, young and handsome, with a very seductive and mysterious temperament, if she had met in the past, Aliane would definitely be attracted, but now...... Listening to the magnetic voice in her ears, she couldn't help but feel stunned.
The conversation was generally pleasant, for the Lan Li didn't say anything that made her suspicious, but instead talked about King's Landing and told some funny jokes, which made the preoccupied Alene unconsciously feel a little happy.
However, when the banquet is over and you return to the arranged accommodation, this happiness is simply gone.
"What did he say to you?" Uncle Oberon, who had come to the secret talk, asked in a low voice.
"Nothing."
Arlene replied, "He's a very interesting man. β
Oberon frowned when he heard this, "Be careful, that blue ceremony is not simple." β
"What's wrong?" Alen asked hurriedly.
Of course, she knew that the blue rite was not simple, and even their Dorn's people had heard about the affairs of the river.
"That Lan Li seems to be gentle and polite, but I just heard that not long ago he personally ordered the hanging of more than a hundred members of the King's Landing garrison, and he hasn't provoked any opposition yet."
Oberon said, unconsciously touching his chin, "It seems that Baratheon has a good control over the city. β
Arrene didn't know much about this, but she also knew that it was impossible for someone to kill more than a hundred lives at every turn, and when she thought of the personable young man before, it was hard for her to imagine that he was so spicy.
This made Arlene can't help but have doubts.
"Will our plan really succeed?"
"Of course, if we can't make it, why are we here?"
"He doesn't look like an easy person to take advantage of."
"A friend of mine has a lot of respect for him." Oberon snorted, "But when the situation changes, even the smartest people don't have a choice. β
Hopefully, Arlene thought to herself.
β¦β¦
She didn't sleep well that night, and the next morning she got up early the next morning to have breakfast with her uncle and his two mistresses in a separate hall, and Arlene found that Nemelia was showing interest in the place at every turn, and seemed to be quite optimistic about the marriage, which made Araine secretly amused.
She felt that this Nellia, who was already in her thirties, was really innocent enough, or naΓ―ve and not suitable for her age, but ......
He looked sideways at Oberon on the throne, and the other party was smiling at the chirping Nemelia, his eyes full of love.
Uncle seemed to like the way she looked, Arlene thought to herself.
The breakfast made her a little uncomfortable, or the food outside of Dorne had not been quite to Arlene's taste, but at least she was able to eat enough.
After eating, the Blue Lady came and invited them to visit King's Landing, to which Nymeria was intrigued, and Uncle Oberon seemed to want to talk to him more to get to know each other, and Arlene agreed.
King's Landing was a chaotic and crowded city, she didn't think there was much to see here, and the smell of the city was unbearable, but the thought of living here in the future made Arlene impatient to turn her head to look aroundβit was already out anyway, and she couldn't go back.
Looking east and west, she suddenly saw a special scene at an intersection, a large group of ordinary people gathered around a wooden platform, and on the high platform, three people were being hanged with purple faces, and the attitude of struggle made her a little unbearable.
"What crime did those people commit?" She turned her head sideways and asked Lan Li beside her.
"Prepare to assassinate the king." The other party replied lightly: "They are the Faceless Ones from the east, and they sneaked into the Red Keep a while ago, and we discovered them. β
As soon as these words came out, Arlene subconsciously thought of something, and was stunned, and then couldn't help but look at his uncle Oberon on the other side, and found that the other party's face was not very good-looking at this time.
