Chapter 482 Wedding

Before leaving, Lady Catelyn Tully of Winterfell repeatedly told her eldest daughter that women place great importance on this Viserys wedding.

Because she learned about the existence of public trials by walking around some of the relationships her husband and father had left behind.

Therefore, Caitlin spent all the means at her disposal during this time, running around and engaging in relationships, hoping to give Viserys a message, so that her husband could find a way to live, as long as he could live, no matter whether it was wearing black Clothes are still in jail.

However, these activities are not as big as the surprise when Viserys personally found the wolf girl Sansa Stark through the palace steward and asked her if she would like to be the wedding flower girl.

When Caitlin heard her daughter say that, it was like a desperate drowning man grabbing a driftwood, trying to hold on to this last hope with all his might.

Therefore, Mrs. Winterfell began to go into battle when she received the news, running around to rehearse the wedding process, to ensure that her daughter Sansa would not make any mistakes at the wedding scene, and to win the favor of the king and queen.

Of course, the "like" in Catelyn Tulliff's mouth is naturally not a relationship between men and women. Sansa has not yet had her menarche, and is even younger than the little princess Daenerys.

But the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms have the habit of accepting adopted children or servants from each other. Caitlyn's husband Ed was once the adopted son of Jon Arryn, the guardian of the valley.

If Sansa can gain the Queen's favor and be accepted as a maid, or Robb can become His Majesty's attendant, it would be worthwhile in exchange for her husband's freedom.

The mutual acceptance of adopted sons and daughters or servants and maids among the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms looks similar to hostages, but in fact it is a win-win means of emotional communication.

The adopted child and adopted daughter will not be abused on the other side. If they can become the adopted child of the royal family, or the king's servant, the queen's servant is a symbol of honor.

For example, Tywin once wanted to send his son Jaime to King's Landing as Prince Rhaegar's squire, and Tywin's wife Joanna was the maid of Queen Layla, Viserys' mother.

"Sansa, whether your father survives depends on your performance this time."

Madam Winterfell hugged each other and begged her daughter to behave well no matter what.

Caitlin is undoubtedly a good mother, but her concern is messed up. She can't accept her husband being executed, beheaded, or hanged, so she doesn't know how much psychological pressure her words have brought to her daughter Sansa.

So much so that the little red-haired beauty walked slowly out behind the king and the bride, her mind went blank, her cheeks flushed even more, and she didn't even know which leg to walk on, so she could only walk with difficulty like a wooden man.

"His Majesty."

"His Majesty."

There were a lot of people at the wedding scene. The crowd in Baylor Cathedral was like an ocean, whispering to each other, and when Viserys came out, they fell silent.

The distinguished guests stood on both sides of the red carpet at the front with the family crest on their chests.

For well-known reasons, the parents of the newlyweds, Viserys and Arianne, could not come, so Viserys invited his great uncle, Maester Aemon, as his elder.

Arianne's uncle, Prince Oberyn, would have attended as the elder of the bride's family, but for some special reason, Oberyn had already left the capital with his army.

His mistress, Ellaria Sand, was not his legal wife, and was of humble origin, and was not qualified to stand in the forefront of the king. Therefore, after consultation with Arianne, the palace steward simply cancelled the position of elder on the bride's side.

Fortunately, there was still the bride's maiden family at the wedding scene.

"Hey, sister."

The clean-faced, black-haired teenager stood on the edge of the red carpet and whispered, winked and grimaced, and Arianne gave him a fierce glance.

Arianne has been away from Dorne for a year or two. She has changed from aspired to be a great Queen of Dorne to a virtuous and virtuous Seven Queen Queen.

Prince Quentin didn't know that his sister once wanted to fight with him for Dorne's heir.

If there is no conflict of interest, there will naturally be no conflict, so the two are still brothers and sisters.

Now Aegon and Quentin were lined up on the left and right of the red carpet, petals in their hands, and they looked at each other.

The performance band was playing soothing and melodious music, following the steps of Viserys and Arianne, and finally when they passed in front of the two teenagers, they threw the petals in the air at the same time, and then the pieces fell down.

Viserys took Arianne's hand and climbed the steps to the statues of the Father and the Virgin. The fat archbishop had a huge crystal crown on his head, his face was solemn and holy, and he was chanting an oath. .

The wedding ceremony in Westeros was very cumbersome and lengthy. The band quit and changed into a choir composed of seventy-seven monks, and the newlyweds who stood in front of the statues of the Father and the Virgin would make a sevenfold marriage vow, accepting Seven blessings, seven promises exchanged.

Because the seven gods worshiped by the church are actually seven different forms of a god, representing seven different virtues, so the number seven has been integrated into daily life in Westeros.

For example, the Kingsguard has seven people, the seven-pointed star, the gods have seven faces, the hell has seven layers, etc.

Eventually the archbishop asked if anyone had doubts about the sacred marriage, but there was silence in the audience, one of the customs of weddings in the Seven Kingdoms.

Then the fat archbishop announced that under the gaze of the gods and the testimony of all the lords, King Viserys of House Targaryen and Princess Arianne Martell of Dorne were officially married.

There was thunderous applause from below, and the bells of the Great Sanctuary rang out in the city of King's Landing again. This was the second time the Great Sanctuary bell rang in a month. At this time, the bell also sounded warm cheers.

"His Majesty."

"His Majesty."

At the end of the wedding ceremony, Viserys took his queen and stood under the statues of the Father and the Virgin to receive blessings and gifts from many nobles.

There is still a dinner party waiting for him this evening, but the part of making the bridal chamber is cancelled, because Viserys ordered that anyone who dares to make a bridal chamber let Mia slash each other with a sword.

The whole wedding ended like this, but the gray-haired old man who had just watched Viserys and Arianne outside the sanctuary.

At this moment, in an inconspicuous nook not far from the sanctuary, a group of men and women in ragged clothes gathered around them, with expressions of righteous indignation on their faces.

"Pregnant before marriage!"

"The Queen lost her maiden virginity before her wedding! She cannot receive the blessing of the Virgin!"
