Chapter 0752: The Prince and the Beauty (2): Smiling Tree Knight

(2-in-1)

"What did the Mad King do next?" said Arya.

"Humiliation!"

"Humiliate whom?"

"Humiliate Jaime Lannister. ”

"Humiliating the Kingsguard who just swore allegiance to himself?"

"Yes!"

Arya didn't want to believe it, "Why did the Mad King do this?"

"Because in his eyes, the Kingsguard is a slave who can let them die or let them live. He thinks he can do whatever he wants, do whatever he wants, and have no scruples. ”

"He's really crazy. ”

"His real intention in humiliating Jaime was to humiliate Tywin Lannister, and even more so to humiliate the Westsiders. ”

"Yes. Doesn't he know that by doing so, he's losing people's hearts?"

"Hehe, the Mad King doesn't need a human heart, except for Targaryen, he thinks that all nobles are slaves of his family, just like ants, he can pinch anyone to death. Arbitrarily and arbitrarily. ”

Arya's little lips pursed tightly!

She remembered her uncle, Brandon Stark, who had been strangled alive with a rope, and her grandfather, Rickard Stark. Rickard Stark is burned alive by the Mad King.

These are family feuds.

Despite this, Arya knew that Eddard Stark did not approve of Robert Baratheon's extermination of the children of House Targaryen across the Narrow Sea. When Robert demanded that Ed must do so, Ed threw the Prime Minister's badge on Robert's desk.

Ed would never kill children or women who were not warriors, even the children of enemies. This is the most basic form of chivalry, and only Ed has always adhered to true chivalry.

Ed's persistence had a profound impact on Arya.

"How did the Mad King humiliate Jaime?" Arya bit her lip.

Jon Snow turned out to be Jon Targaryen, a blood enemy of House Stark. But he was Aunt Lyanna's son and her cousin.

The Mad King told Jaime to leave the Harrenhal Arena immediately, ride alone, and not stop until he ran back to King's Landing Red Keep. If he dared to stop, he would cut off Jaime's head and stick his head into the tip of a spear on the wall. ”

"He's really a mad king!"

"Yes. At that time, James, who had prepared for all the competitions, was completely stunned. His six Kingsguard brothers stepped back and said nothing. Among the oaths of the Kingsguard is absolute obedience to the king. ”

"Rhaegar didn't dare to speak at that time?"

"At a time when Aerys was making his own decisions, no one dared to speak in front of Aerys Targaryen. When Jaime Lannister rode out of Harrenhal in full view, I believe he had the heart to kill himself. A sixteen-year-old boy was humiliated in public by the king when he was ready to fight for his honor as the King's Guard in the ring. ”

"All the nobles and knights of the whole country are qualified to compete in martial arts, but Jaime alone has not. ”

"Yes. This is the greatest humiliation for the knight and his family, especially since Jaime has just received the knight's highest honor, the Kingsguard. ”

"What did Tywin do?"

He didn't say a word, his face was expressionless. ”

"Where's Rhaegar?"

"Rhaegar was a brave and upright man, and together with the captain of the Kingsguard, Geralt Hightower, he sent the pale Jaime off the platform, and personally brought the horse for Jaime, and he didn't say anything to Jaime, but he and the captain of the Kingsguard, Geralt Hightower, stood on the top of the hill in Harrenhal, and watched Jaime and his horse disappear before returning. ”

"Rhaegar is a hero with a big heart. ”

"Yes, Jaime never betrayed the Targaryen dynasty until after Rhaegar died in battle. ”

"No, you're wrong, Jaime is a kingkiller who killed the mad king Aerys. ”

"No, he's here to save people. ”

"Save whom?"

"The Mad King told Jaime to kill Tywin Lannister, and his pyromancer Prime Minister to light a wildfire buried beneath King's Landing and blow it up. At that time, there were hundreds of thousands of civilians in King's Landing. Jaime had no choice but to kill the Prime Minister of the Fire Warlock who ordered the bombing of the city, and then the Mad King. From then on, he was nailed to the pillar of shame of the kingkiller and looked down upon by all the nobles and knights. The Kingsguard could not betray his king until he died, but Jaime killed his own king. ”

Arya's eyes widened, "How do you know in such detail?"

Will filtered out Arya's doubts and continued: "In the glow of the setting sun at the opening ceremony of the tournament, King Rhaegar Targaryen played a very sad music, the sadness of which made many horses unable to eat forage, and in the music, Cersei chuckled while eating fine food, and Princess Arya Martell couldn't stand the sadness of the music and left. Not far away, Lyanna Stark burst into tears. Her brother Bunyan Stark laughed at her sister's weakness, and Lyanna poured the wine in her brother's face. ”

Arya seemed to see a handsome and handsome prince playing the sad harp in the spring sunset, he may be sad about the tragedy of the summer hall he experienced, maybe he was sad about his father's madness and he could not do anything about it, maybe he was sad about the unhappiness of his marriage, this is a sentimental prince with a kind heart and both civil and military, and a stunning girl watching the prince not far away, her face full of tears.

"After this piece of music was played, Prince Rhaegar had been gone for a long time, and the entire arena was silent. Only in Robert Baratheon's tent could there be a clamor of drinking and fist-fighting. ”

Arya stared at Will tightly, Will's story had completely captivated her.

These are the stories she heard for the first time.

In Arya's eyes, Will can do anything, and no man can compare to Will except for his father Ed. Thinking of Will being such a hero, but wanting to marry his sister Sansa, a woman who screamed and fled in fear when she saw cockroaches, Arya felt that Will was not worth it.

"Then there was the first sensation in the ring. ”

"What is it?"

"Remember who your father Ed's best friend was?"

"Holland Reed of the Grey Water. ”

The Reed family is stationed at the neck of the Stark family.

"Yes. At this national tournament, almost all the nobles were present. The Reed family of Grey Water Hope also came, led by Holland Reed. ”

"Hmm!"

Horan Reed was very rudely mocked for his dwarfness by the three squires at the night's feast, and when he was sarcastic, the three squires pounced on him together, all of them young and vigorous teenagers, and the Zedi, though they were adults, were the bigger squires. Horan's only attacking weapon was a three-pointed spear, which was snatched by one of his opponents. He was then thrown to the ground and kicked by the men. Their hosts cheered loudly with flasks nearby. One of the three masters is from the Frey family in Twin River City, one is from the Braun family of the royal realm, and the other is the noble Hay family, a subordinate of the Frey family. ”

"Three to one?"

"Yes!"

The number of onlookers and squires grew, attracting the attention of Lyanna Stark, who was in the tent, and when she heard the name of Holland Reed, he immediately rushed to relieve him with a racing sword, and she was very angry and shouted that Holland was her father's rider and told the guys to get out of the way, but no one listened to her. ”

"My aunt doesn't know martial arts!" said Arya.

"Yes, in our cognition, we all know that your aunt doesn't know martial arts at all, and when she wants to practice martial arts, your grandfather doesn't approve of her practicing martial arts. But why is it that only she and Brandon in the Stark family have the blood of the wolf, not even your father Ed and your uncle Bunyan. ”

"Could it be that my aunt is as skilled as me?" said Arya, without modesty.

"Lyanna knocked down three guards in the blink of an eye with a match sword in full view of everyone, knocking out their teeth, swelling their faces and breaking a guy's bones. ”

"God, the sword competition, could it be that my aunt is secretly practicing martial arts?"

Horan was scarred, and Lyanna led him into her tent. She cleaned Holland's wound and bandaged it with linen. That night, after her brothers returned from a drinking spell in Robert Baratheon's tent, Lyanna introduced Holland Reed to her brothers, Brandon Stark, then known as the Wolf, Eddard Stark, then known as the Silent Wolf, and Bunyan Stark, known as the Little Wolf. It was also on that night that Eddard Stark met Holland Reed. He was the youngest, but he was the oldest. ”

That same night, Lyanna persuaded Holland to participate in the tournament, insisting that Holland was of noble birth and qualified to participate more than anyone else. Horan "Wolf Servant" could not refuse the request from the lord's daughter, and Lyanna saved him. Bunyan found a suitable outfit for Holland and replaced him with his usual attire. It was also because of his ordinary attire and ridiculous weapons that he was bullied by the servants of the three major families. ”

"If I were present, I would do as my aunt did!" said Arya, "and I will teach not only the three attendants, but their masters, and make them apologize. ”

"In Harrenhal, Holland has been eating and drinking with the Stark family ever since. He was arranged by Lyanna to share a tent with Eddard Stark. They were joined by the Stark Oath Vassals of the Dustins, who came from the Wasteland, the Horwoods, the Mormonts, the Ambers, and the Mandalay of White Harbor. ”

So the next day, Holland went to sign up for the competition. But his martial arts skills were not high, so he was sent to battle by his subordinates. At that time, a 'Smiling Tree' knight suddenly appeared to fight for his honor and that of Greywater. ”

"My aunt?"

"No one knew who the Smiling Tree Knight was who suddenly appeared, he was short and thin compared to the other knights, and he wore a patchwork of armor, which did not fit at all. The coat of arms on his shield is a smiling face on the Heart Tree, hence the nickname "Smiling Tree Knight". His Heart Tree shield was painted with a crooked smiling face that looked like it had been drawn in a hurry, and he also wore a mask on his face, which he never took off, and no one knew who he was. ”

"It must be my aunt, I guess she'll challenge the three knights who bullied Uncle Reed. ”

Will smiled: "You're right, the first knight he named to challenge on the first day was someone from the Frey family, he defeated this knight of the Frey family at a rapid speed, snatched his horse and shield, and the long sword, and stripped off his armor. He humiliated him in front of the nobles of the whole country and admonished him, as a knight, that he should discipline his men well, and not the other way around. ”

"Well done! Long live Auntie, long live Winterfell. (This is the slogan of the emotion, conventional, don't feel abrupt!)

The Smiling Tree Knight then challenged the Braun Knight by name, defeating the Braun Knight with Holland Reed's three-pointed spear, and also robbing the Braun Knight of his horses, shields, and weapons, forcing the Knight to take off his armor and humiliate his honor. In the end, he warns the knight that he is not worthy of being a knight if he does not know how to restrain his subordinates. ”

"Auntie has won two games in a row!" said Arya, smiling brightly. She only learned today that her aunt was just as good as her. It's just that I don't know how my aunt practiced it from her grandfather's eyes.

"At this time, the trouble came. ”

"What's wrong?" Arya immediately became worried about her aunt.

The Smiling Tree Knight caught the attention of King Aerys, who ordered the knight to remove his mask and let him show his true face. ”

"Has my aunt taken off her mask?"

"Nope. She wanted to take off her mask if she wanted to challenge one more knight, and King Aerys agreed. So, the Knight of the Smiling Tree named the knight who challenged the Hay family, and this knight was even more miserable, being shot in the face by the Smiling Horseman's match gun, and fell on the spot, his feet were hung in stirrups, and he was dragged by his horse. The Smiling Tree Knight followed after him, but took the opportunity to run out of the arena. This angered King Aerys, who ordered Prince Rhaegar and Arthur Dayne, the Dawn Sword of the Kingsguard, to pursue him, and to capture the knight so that Aerys could see who he was!"

"Did my aunt escape?"

"No one knows, Rhaegar and Arthur Dayne were the top masters at the time, and both of them attacked at the same time, do you think the Smiling Tree Knight can escape?"

"I don't know if my aunt ever learned stealth. ”

"In addition to Rhaeggar, there are many more knights who want to pursue the Smiling Horseman, including Robert Baratheon. He jumped on his horse and was persuaded by Eddard Stark. ”

"And what about later?"

Later, Rhaegar and Arthur Dayne returned, and Prince Rhaegar had only a smiley tree shield in his hand. He told the Mad King that the Laughing Tree Knight had hung his shield on the tree, but the man had run away. ”

"They must have intercepted my aunt, but Prince Rhaegar let my aunt go. I think that's when they got together with each other. ”

"This matter is not over, Aerys asks Horan Reed to tell the true face of the Smiling Horseman, but Horan Reed can't say it at all, so the king orders a thorough investigation of which knight is missing, then he must be the Smiling Horseman. The royal court officials thoroughly investigated it, and all the knights were there. ”

"My aunt is there too?"

"Your aunt isn't here, but the knight is a man, and your aunt is known to be a martial artist, so no thorough court official suspects that the smiling knight is your aunt. ”

"So is it my aunt?"

"I don't know, the books of the royal court record officials only record the deeds of the Smiling Horseman, and do not explain the identity of the Smiling Horseman. ”

"It must be my aunt, the royal court officials of the Mad King must have listened to Prince Rhaeggar, Prince Rhaegar said that he didn't catch up with the Smiling Horseman, even if any knight knew that it was my aunt, they would not dare to say it, they would just remain silent. ”

"Compared to the story of the Smiling Rider, Prince Rhaegar has done something more sensational. ”()
