(Let me talk about something first. The character of the protagonist has been changed to a straightforward, kind-hearted and just lord, with a bit of an image of Ren Xia who will repay kindness and revenge, and a Bi Wang who does not slap people in the face or pretend to be a night rival.
Earlier, I wanted to create an image of a benevolent and righteous lord, but the writing was a bit like a virgin. It was because my writing skills were not good enough, so I would like to kowtow to everyone and apologize.
In addition, the part about beating a hundred people to death needs to be slightly changed so that it does not affect the subsequent plot, and it needs to be upgraded to another level, otherwise it will really not work out.)
The following is the text:
The morning of the second day.
The banks of the Blackwater River were crowded with people from King's Landing enjoying the cool air and avoiding the stench. Hundreds of tents were scattered in the woods along the river, with attendants carrying fruit plates and winegrowers holding wine barrels passing between them.
"This is also a good place." After feeling the breeze and the inaudible odor, Patrick sighed with emotion.
"Actually, the Red Keep is a good place to go, but we don't have enough status to live there," Desmond said.
The master of Riverrun told the truth.
Generally speaking, if a big noble from out of town comes to King's Landing, the king's servants will arrange accommodation in the Red Keep.
For example, Lord Beric Dondarrion of Blackport in the Stormlands can live in the Red Keep just because he is a vassal of Baratheon of the Deer family.
As for Patrick of the same rank, the first heir to the earldom, the Red Castle would not pay attention, so he lived outside like Arthur and Desmond and other minor nobles.
There is a bit of a secret here.
Because it is the Lu family dynasty, the nobles of the three large territories of the Lu family: the Royal Territory, Dragonstone Island, and the Stormlands are valued more than the nobles of the same title in other areas.
Below the Deer family, only the vassals of the Lannister family in the West are valued, after all, they are the queen's people.
The rest, such as the vassals of Arryn of the Eagle House in the Vale, would also receive preferential treatment from the Red Keep when the former Hand, Jon Arryn, was still alive.
And now, if the Northern vassals of the Wolf family Stark come to King's Landing, they will also receive preferential treatment.
The great vassals from other major territories did not receive such treatment.
The unreasonableness of this situation also reflects the current embarrassing situation of Robert's four alliances.
It stands to reason that Robert's Iron Throne was conquered by the alliance of the Wolf, Eagle, Fish, and Deer.
Considering that the deer family soldiers did not fight much in the early stage, the remaining three families made major contributions to Robert's throne.
However, the Reach and Westland, the two most powerful countries, have shown their value in united front because they have preserved their strength.
So Robert married the eldest daughter of the lord of the West to maintain the unity of the Seven Kingdoms.
In this way, the three fish, wolf, and eagle families that conquered the world exerted the greatest strength, but what they gained was the status they had before the war.
The West has done the least, but has reaped the greatest benefits. Consolidating its current position is the idea of the Lannister family led by Tywin.
The performance of the Reach is quite satisfactory, but because its strength is the first among the Seven Kingdoms, after more than ten years of survival, it has some different ideas.
Seeking a status commensurate with strength has always been the core pursuit of the Reach led by the Rose Family.
Considering that they cannot overthrow the throne, all they can do is marry the king. But if the king changes, they will also support the candidate who is willing to pay a high price.
Within the Deer family, Stannis, who had the greatest military exploits, got Dragonstone, the smallest island, while Renly, who had no merit, got the Stormlands and Storm's End, and they gradually developed dissatisfaction with each other.
Robert's throne has long been shaky due to his immature political performance.
Littlefinger Baelish ordered Lysa Arryn to poison the former Hand, giving the crumbling throne the most precise kick that would cause it to begin to topple.
Of course, all this has little to do with Arthur and others.
At this moment, what they need to face are dozens of family governors and heirs from various families in the Reach.
and many times that number of attendants and servants.
"Arthur Bracken, I'm glad you could come."
Loras Tyrell, nicknamed the Knight of Flowers, stood up to greet his guest.
As for Patrick, Desmond and others behind him, he nodded symbolically.
As the son of the lord of the most powerful territory in the Seven Kingdoms, Loras did not need to establish a good relationship with the two minor nobles and knights.
The Knight of Flowers invited Arthur here, firstly, because he was very fond of Arthur's actions of standing up for a commoner, and secondly, because of Arthur's invincible power.
"I was just about to practice my lance, and your invitation is such a wonderful act of handing me a pillow when I'm sleepy." Arthur responded.
Although his custom-made full-body large plate armor has not yet been completed, it is good to be able to ride on a horse and have the feeling of sprinting with a lance.
In a lance competition, the only condition for victory is to knock your opponent off the horse while you are still on the horse.
In order to allow both sides of the competition to successfully achieve this condition, the shields used in lance competitions are different from the convex shields and flat shields used in normal combat.
The round concave shield is the shield used for lances. Its only advantage is that it can prevent the specially made shield from sliding away easily and then breaking due to the two sides rushing towards it in both directions.
"It's not a hurry. It looks like you don't have any armor, so you can only ride on horseback."
The Knight of Flowers treats his friends with a very friendly attitude.
The two of them stopped being polite and walked to the main seat of the VIP table and sat down.
The venue is still being arranged, but due to the influence of the Duke's son of the Rose House, these nobles in the Reach can use it in advance.
Patrick, Desmond and others did not receive the favor of the Knight of Flowers. They were arranged in seats that fit their status.
Of course, since there are few people now, they are not very far away from Arthur.
"I would like to ask, is your strength innate or acquired through practice, or is it a blessing from some god?"
Loras asked politely, and at the same time motioned to the servant to serve wine to Arthur.
"Of course I'm not born with it, this is all the strength I have gained through hard training." Arthur said proudly.
His current expression is as if the system does not exist.
Loras was in awe, "I didn't expect that someone could develop strength to this extent. Please teach me quickly so that I can be as powerful as you."
Arthur suppressed his laughter and explained seriously: "First of all, the most important thing is to train the core, that is, the power from the waist and abdomen. This is the source of your strength."
"As for core training, the only way to do it is, um... sit-ups and planks. Of course, you also need to eat enough meat to supplement protein."
He briefly introduced his fitness experience in his previous life and tried to fool him first.
Loras didn't know why, and his admiration for Arthur increased even more: "Are these all words you came up with yourself? It sounds very advanced."
"Ah, that's right. I have been thinking about how to make myself stronger since I was a child. What I just said is just an inconspicuous but extremely basic part of my huge theory." Arthur began to talk nonsense.
"It seems that my invitation is correct. You can teach me a lot more knowledge than I imagined."
Loras saw the servant coming over with a jug and a wine glass, picked up the wine glass himself, and poured Arthur a glass of Qingting wine.
The two were chatting happily until they were interrupted by a shocked voice:
"What, how could someone kill more than three hundred people?"
