Although there are many deserts in Dorne, there are still many rivers in the east and there are fertile fields of coconut trees.
The convoy arrived at Banzhai Town and found a hotel to stay for one night before leaving. Ashara, a pregnant woman, was there, and everyone was not in a hurry to leave because we were not in a hurry.
Now that the war is over, Dorne and King's Landing have made a marriage contract and achieved peace. The guards of Ashara Dayne's house and the Werther guards are eating and drinking in the hall, talking and laughing, and Ashara is chatting and laughing with the maids and Werther Renly.
There are two children at one table. The food is not as good as that in a noble family, but there is still bread and meat.
People come and go in the hotel. It is very close to Sunspear, the capital of Dorne, and the public security is good. There are no bandits or mercenaries robbing homes and houses. Most of them are passing caravans.
While he was eating, a bard entered the hotel lobby. He walked to the bar and chatted with the hotel owner for a few words. The boss gave him a glass of wine, and then he took a high stool to sit in the middle of the hall and started singing.
Song.
Bards usually travel around, and whenever they go to a place, they will start singing, reciting poems or telling stories in the hotel. Many heroes rely on bards to spread their deeds, and capable bards will also tell stories about their heroic deeds.
Compiled into poems or songs, it is considered one of the most knowledgeable and well-informed groups of people.
There are no special bars or restaurants in this world. Wherever there is food, there is wine. The boss also hopes to have bards here. The better the songs and stories, the more people drink and the more money they make. Bards solved the problem
Accommodation, songs and stories are good in the hall, and guests will pay to come to the table to sing or sit down and tell stories individually. This is their income.
When a bard arrives on a trip, the boss does not have to pay but must provide accommodation. The bard briefly introduces himself to the boss. If the boss gives him a glass of wine, he agrees and can start performing. However, famous bards still have to pay for it.
.
After singing a song, I heard the bard say that he was going to tell the story of Eddard Stark and Arthur, the Sword of Dawn.
Werther immediately asked the guards to invite the bard to the table alone. Ashara nervously held the hands of the maids. One was the father of her child, and the other was her brother. The guards nearby also gathered around, waiting for the story to begin. "The story about the two of them begins with Prince Rhaegar's participation in the tourney a few years ago."
"Just talking about Ed and Arthur," Werther interrupted
The bard was not upset. The longer the story was, the better the reward would be. But he had seen many anxious people like this, so he just earned less this time. A sip would soothe his throat. "Okay, let me start with why the two of them met.
”
"In this war, Robert became king and sent Eddard Stark to lead the army south to relieve the siege of Storm's End. However, the armies of Highgarden and Dorne failed to capture Storm's End for a year. Seeing that the situation was over, Highgarden
and Dorne reached a peace agreement with the king respectively and began to withdraw their troops."
"Robert learned from the surrendered army in King's Landing that Prince Rhaegar had asked the Kingsguard to take Lyanna Stark to Highgarden, so he sent Eddard who was in the south to lead the army to continue the pursuit, and finally caught up with Dorne and Storm
The border of the land. There were not many troops in the Kingsguard. In the end, only three people took Lyanna and fled into the Tower of Bliss. The Tower of Bliss belonged to Dorne's territory. Eddard left the army behind and took seven northern nobles there.
They approached the Kingsguard for help, but the Kingsguard refused to surrender, and the two sides began to fight."
"Seven people versus three, both sides dueled according to the rules of chivalry. On Ed's side: Earl William Dustin, Sir Ethan Glover, Sir Martin Cassel, Sir Theo Wall, Mark Rice Five of Sir Will's men were killed in the battle. Howland Reed was seriously injured."
When Ashara heard that Ed was not dead, she first breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard the news from her brother
"On the Kingsguard side, captains Ser Gerold Hightower and Ser Oswell Rivers died in battle. Eddard Stark defeated Ser Arthur Dayne in the decisive battle. The three Kingsguards refused to surrender and finally Died in battle to defend their honor.
After Arthur died, Ed personally went to Dane's house and returned Arthur's Dawn Sword to Arthur's family."
He betrayed his lover and the father of the child in his belly and killed his own brother. Hearing this, Liashala was heartbroken.
When Werther saw this, he gave the bard a silver moon to let the bard leave. Now he really didn't know how to comfort her.
Setting off at dawn, Ashara began to skip meals and shed tears all day long.
When there was still one day's journey from Shen'en City, Ashara began to suffer from abdominal pain. Her maid said that she was about to give birth prematurely. Werther ordered two guards to go to Shen'en City to book an inn and ask for a doctor, and the rest of the team accelerated their advance.
Before the convoy reached the City of God's Grace, the maid shouted that Ashara's amniotic fluid had broken and she was bleeding. She was dying. Werther could only order the convoy to stop. Even if it was late at night and there was no way to go to the village or store, they could not continue. These carriages There is no shock absorption, the road is not smooth and too bumpy.
Renly still couldn't understand what was happening, but he only knew that everyone was very nervous. Werther asked several other carriages to surround Ashara's carriage, and the guards guarded the outside. The guards on horseback spread out to drive away the beasts attracted by the smell of blood.< /p>
There are only two girls here, Ashara and the maid, and two 5-year-old children, Werther and Renly. The other guards are all men. Before he traveled through time, Werther, like everyone else, had watched some science and education movies, and there was healing magic, so he could only ignore it. Li Yi bit the bullet and said that he could help. The maid was young and didn't know how to give birth to a child. Now she was in a hurry and agreed because Werther was a child anyway.
Entering the carriage, he saw that Ashara's lower body was covered with blood. Witte asked the guards outside to find water to make a fire, and asked the maid to find some soft clothes to wipe the blood. The maid hurriedly ran out. The magic light of the healing hand lit up, Ashara no longer bleeds. She hasn't eaten for several days and is desperate and determined to die. As a pregnant woman, death is already close. No matter how powerful the magic is, she can't save the person she wants to die.
The maid took the clothes and entered the carriage. Werther stood behind Ashara and guided the maid to deliver the baby based on his limited knowledge.
Soon after, there was a cry. Ashara weakly hugged the baby and then dropped her arms. It was a baby girl.
The maid held the baby and looked at Werther who asked him to give the child a name. Children in this world will be named when they are born, and their birthday is the naming day. Only the savages outside the Great Wall in the north are named two years after birth. This group of people According to their status, Werther and Renly are the highest, the two brothers of the King of the Seven Kingdoms. Renly seems to know nothing next to him. The maid has been neighbors with Werther in Sunspear for half a year, so she knows that Werther is very knowledgeable.
[Ashara and Eddard are not married, and according to the tradition of Dorne, the surname of an illegitimate daughter is Shad.]
"Let's call her Ashara Shad, after her mother's name," Witte said, and he held Ashara's eyes.
The convoy rushed to the City of Divine Grace. After Ashara died, the guards of the Dane family lost their backbone. Werther asked them to stay in the hotel first. The maid took a guard to find the nanny, and then went back to the star pendant of the Dane family alone.
Report to the city, and others will stay here to protect the children. Witte also plans to stay for a few days, after all, Ashara and himself are considered acquaintances and cannot be left alone.
