Chapter 403 The strange man who deceived the little girl
Sacred wood, backyard garden.
Dense vegetation grows, towering pines and cypresses line the area, and are dotted with dragon statues and fountains.
Over the large open space, adjacent awnings were built.
The noble men who have not yet met each other gather together and discuss interesting things in groups.
Under the largest awning, Viserys looked around and asked, "Where is Helena?"
“The princess may still be preparing.”
Colliss gathered around a basin of ice cubes and responded calmly.
Viserys frowned and said displeased: "Being late is not a good habit."
Collis scooped up a handful of ice cubes and ground them with his hands. He fully felt the coolness of the ice and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, if I asked you to choose a treasure among a pile of dregs, you would be even later."
Colliss looked as if he was taking it for granted.
Speaking, he rubbed some ice chips into the wine glass and took a sip of it immersed in his heart.
“His Majesty Jaehaerys has been worrying about his children all his life. This may also be a Targaryen tradition.”
He has no Targaryen blood and is not afraid of the scorching heat.
Looked around, called the attendants and said: "Go to Helena and come over. Don't keep the adults waiting."
Viserys was stunned when he heard this and didn't know how to answer.
“The mirror shows the opposite side…”
“An unknown war is scary. A war with predictable results is as easy as sailing by reading the weather.”
The reason why the Dornish people are so tenacious is the scorching desert environment.
In the morning, it was his turn to be summoned by the throne room.
Not far away, by a fountain in a pine forest.
Helena sat on the stone steps, holding a purple flower in her hand and picking off the petals.
At first sight, Leila and Jasmine held hands and stood in front of a black-haired man.
Viserys took a second look and felt quite sad: "The war in Dorne has begun, and summer red is not easy to buy."
Seeing his lack of response, Viserys smiled bitterly and complained: "I wish I didn't have to worry about my children."
While moving, reciting words at the same time.
Colliss glanced at it and continued grinding the ice.
A little bit of Kelis, Leng Buding thought of those who died.
Colliss joked and said meaningfully: "And the more you worry about it, the less likely it is that there will be a good result."
Urwin looked embarrassed and explained carefully: "I came to see Her Highness the Princess, and I have no ill intentions."
While the princess is alone, it is a heaven-sent opportunity.
Colliss is very confident.
It seems that the outcome will not be good.
In the Vulture Mountains and Dorne, soldiers from other lands in Westeros may not be able to show their strength.
Under the defense of the two female companions, Urwin could only stand ten meters away from the fountain and said urgently: "Princess, please condescend to have a few words with me."
Viserys shook his head and laughed: "Aren't you always cautious and attach great importance to war?"
Helena retracted her eyes, rubbed her bare flowery neck, and whispered: "A bridge is waiting for you..."
Viserys' heart thumped and he couldn't help shouting: "Go and call Helena and tell her to come to see her father."
Once Dorne loses the living environment he has been familiar with since childhood, he will be like a shark that comes ashore, and it is difficult to bite anyone.
“Relax, the dragon will clear the way for you.”
His eldest son rushed to the battlefield in the Stormlands. Two dragons plus the entire Stormlands army were more than enough to deal with the invading Dornish army.
A chill rushed to his forehead, and Corliss took a breath: "There is nothing more enjoyable than taking a sip of ice-cold summer red in the middle of summer!"
Helena came back to her senses instantly and turned to check who was coming.
He did not approve of the so-called Girls' Day Exhibition from the beginning.
Aegon is a boy, so he can choose a big noble family to marry into.
Thinking of the defeat of the Three Daughters Kingdom, Viserys was greatly relieved, and a sense of pride rose from his heart.
Standing on tiptoes, he noticed Helena's attention, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Helena is a girl and young, so why should she be so worried about getting married?
The sound of footsteps came, accompanied by the obstruction of two female companions, disturbing the peaceful atmosphere.
The best way to deal with such an inexperienced little girl is to deceive and kidnap her.
Helena sat sideways, reached out to pick up the spring water, and said calmly: "Just say what you want to say."
Look at that look, it seems like if you don't say anything now, there will be no chance in the future.
Ulwin would not let the opportunity slip away, pretending to be a gentleman and said: "Princess, I am the earl of the Peak family..."
A brief introduction to one's background and wealth revealed from the side.
Helena remained unmoved, still trying to catch the fat koi in the spring.
Being so slighted, a gloom flashed in Urwin's eyes, trying hard to maintain a good image.
He knew that aristocratic ladies liked this kind of pretty boy the most.
Urwin coughed lightly and knelt down on one knee: "As soon as I saw Harrenhal, I was obsessed with you and traveled thousands of miles to King's Landing in order to see you again."
Helena looked serious: "You got your wish, congratulations."
Urwin was speechless for a moment and changed the subject: "Princess, the king and queen are worried about your marriage, and I have the guts to propose to you, hoping to gain your favor."
Helena sighed and said melancholy: "Lord Urwin, your appearance is not good, but your dreams are very lofty."
"I am serious."
Urwin became more and more frustrated, thinking about spending a lot of money. He gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you are willing to marry me, I can choose one of the three castles in the family for you."
Looking at the entire Reach, the Baker family is also at the forefront.
Daughters of the Peake family have been married to wealthy nobles such as Redwyne, Rowan, and Hightower.
In addition to his cunning ways, the three castles are the foundation of the family.
Helena fluttered her eyelashes and counted with her fingers: "I am one, Aemond, Daeron..." "Princess, what are you talking about?"
Ulwin's eyes were fixed and he didn't hear clearly.
Helena shook her head: "Nothing, I was wondering which castle really belongs to your family."
Three Castles family seems to be glorious, but there is indispensable filth behind it.
The Peak family had only one castle at first, Starshuttle City in the Dorne Marches.
About a thousand years ago, the Gardener family of the King of the Reach conquered the disobedient House Manderly and defeated them.
After the war, the Mandela family was driven out of the Reach and lost their clan castle along the Mander River.
—Dustonbury.
The castle was taken over by their rivals, the Peake family.
Later, the Mandalay family fled all the way to the remote north and built the current White Harbor imitating Dustonbury.
This is the second castle acquired by the Peake family.
The third castle is a family castle that has disappeared in the long river of history.
—Baiyuancheng.
The true history cannot be studied, but it is not difficult to know from the stories spread among the ancient nobles of the Reach.
The original family in Baiyuan City lacked male members in a certain generation, and the title and clan land were inherited by women.
The then Earl of Peake married with him and occupied Baiyuan City by using the descendants' surname rights.
Generations of skilled plunder and plunder have laid the foundation for the apparent glory of the Baker family.
Being hinted at the secret affairs of his ancestors, Urwin suppressed the curse words on his lips and said cruelly: "Princess, one castle is not enough. I can give you two castles except Star Shuttle City."
From the news, it can be seen that the black and green parties have always been at peace, but the queen and Princess Rhaenyra often have conflicts.
The Crown Prince has the right to inherit the Iron Throne and owns Harrenhal and the unfinished Prince's Palace.
Princess Rhaenyra is pregnant with an heir and sits on Dragonstone, the homeland of the Targaryens.
Now that the Kingdom of Three Women has been conquered, Myr and Lys have also fallen into the hands of the crown prince.
On the other hand, on the Green Party side, only Prince Aegon owns a twin castle far away on the Stepstone Islands.
He took out two castles in one go, not believing that a little girl could remain indifferent.
Helena was surprised: "Two castles?"
She didn't expect that the other party would be so willing to give up.
Urwin nodded vigorously: "As long as you agree to propose, the two castles will be given to you."
Very beautiful words.
If you have heirs, you can also use the methods of your ancestors to take back the castle with the right of surname.
And he married a true Targaryen princess.
Not to mention the benefits of entering King's Landing and squeezing into the center of power by virtue of his status as the royal son-in-law.
The princess herself has an adult dragon.
Whoever marries her will have Targaryen blood and the talent to become dragon masters.
This point, the sea serpent Corliss has already set a good example.
Just when Urwin was feeling complacent and dreaming about the success of his plan.
Helena refused simply: "The castle is indeed very generous, but you don't have a dragon."
“Princess, as long as you marry me, our descendants will have dragons!”
Ulwin accidentally spoke the truth.
Helena tilted her head and said directly: "Is this your idea, to get the dragon through me?"
Inferior means. I don't know how many nobles in Westeros have this idea.
Ulwin became furious when his little trick was exposed and stood up in a hurry: "Princess, the queen needs allies. No one in Westeros dares to ally with you. Marrying me is the right choice."
“Why does my mother need allies?” Helena's eyes were bright.
Urwin said bluntly: "Of course it is to fight against Prince Rhaegar, otherwise when the king dies, you will not have a good life."
"elder brother."
Helena was slightly in a trance, lowered her head and said to herself: "So you all have this ridiculous idea."
Through previous conversations, she had already heard that the other party knew her mother.
Thinking of Cousin Selena that Mond Hightower prepared for Aegon.
Can't help but suspect that Urwin is the marriage partner chosen by her mother for herself.
“Just because of those unfounded assumptions?”
Helena frowned slightly.
Urwin was still adding fuel to the fire and shouted: "I work for Her Majesty the Queen, and she promised to give me a chance to marry you."
"I do not believe!"
Helena screamed loudly and retorted: "Mother can't be that bad."
Her chest and abdomen, which were not rich, were rising and falling. Helena put on a stern face and said coldly: "Wait here, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he left his two worried female companions behind and strode away.
Ulwin was stunned for a moment. He wanted to follow but was stopped by Leila and Jasmine, who had evil eyes.
Helena walked quickly and furiously back to Maegor's Tower, heading straight to her bedroom.
For some reason, her mind was extremely clear.
It is certain that Earl Baker has evil intentions and is telling lies.
so.
boom-
Pushing open the door, Helena went straight to the balcony and took off the Changxia hanging on the wall.
The sword was drawn out of its sheath with a swish, and a cold light bloomed.
Helena looked serious and muttered: "Don't set Meng Huo on fire, chop him to death!"
