King's Landing, 112 years after Aegon's conquest
Alicent was excited about today's tournament. It will be the first time she has seen the people of Stormwind. Although she had had the pleasure of meeting the Cultiranians several times, often because of her father's friendship with Lord Admiral Daelin Proudmoor, this was not very possible with Stormwind.
What do you think, Nyra, what will they be like? - asked Alicent her friend I have no idea, Alicent, but I would give anything to see Griffin. Maybe someone will go for it," a hopeful tone sounded in Rhaenera's voice. Everyone knows the story of the Gryphon horsemen's battle against Aegon and his sisters.
Perhaps there is nothing left of them. Balerion and Meraxes died, and Vhagar took a long time to recover. You probably had to pay dearly for such a state of affairs," Alicent replied matter-of-factly
I count that you are wrong. I have to see if Griffin surpasses Syrax in height," Rhaenyra replied, causing Alicent to laugh and roll his eyes.
A few hours later "
That's them," exclaimed Rhaenyra, getting up to look at the fairy knights. Rhaenyra stood up from the podium and saw a royal blue banner with a carved lion's face on the front. Their armor was plate-like, with high neck protectors on the epaulettes, and the helmet had a thin letter "T" on the faceplate.
They look like a cross between Reach and Lannister knights," Alicent noted. The biggest peculiarity was a beautiful-looking woman with curly red hair and green eyes. A large number of men shamelessly stared at her. In her hand she held a long staff with a round cross on top When they reached the arena, the two at the top of the procession dismounted from their horses and made their way to King Viserys. The knight at the front slowly moved forward until he stopped and removed his helmet. His hair was shortened and effectively cut off, and he had a sword strapped to his belt.
He is handsome," Alicent stated with dreamy eyes
Yes, I must admit that he is impressive," agreed Rhaenyra
Welcome King Viserys, the first of that name, ruler of the seven kingdoms and protector of his kingdom," the Stormwind knight raised his fist and punched her in the chest
King Viserys with a sincere smile nodded to Lothar
I, Sir Anduin Lothar, on behalf of my King Adamant Wrynn of Stormwind and his wife, Queen Varia Wrynn. It is their wish that today be the beginning of lasting relations between our kingdoms.
I am very happy for you, Sir Lothar, I too wish the same as your king," Viserys replied, nodding several times
And this is Mara Fordragon, the high priestess. Next to me, she is the main commander of the mission," Lothar pointed to the woman, who bowed her head slightly May your highness now take care of my people," asked Anduin
Of course, for you and your people we have prepared a place in the city. You and Lady Fordragon will get rooms in the red fortress," said Viserys
This is not necessary. I would rather be with my people," - argued Lothar
Nonsense, you are high leaders of a diplomatic mission of a foreign kingdom and a future partner. I believe that such treatment is necessary," replied Viserys jovially
Because your highness insists," Lothar agreed reluctantly.
Then it was decided. Tomorrow we begin the tournament. Would you or your people be interested in taking part in it," Viserys asked from his seat
We would be honored to take an active part in the battles - admitted Lothar wanting to join forces with the best warriors of Westeros the Wonderful - Viserys clapped his hands - Inform once you know who is participating
I will
