Gao Yuan's talks with the lords of the canyon will be held in the afternoon, but it is foreseeable that these impatient guests will definitely enter the castle before lunch.

When Mia Shidong finished busy in the kitchen and made sure that the bread and wine were ready, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Mia Shidong, who was looking very tired, hurriedly took the servants in the castle carrying bread and wine to the gate of the Gate of the Moon and stood ready to welcome the distinguished guests into the city.

Sir Nestor has been waiting here for a long time. In order to prevent guests from entering the castle early, he had ordered people to raise the drawbridge of the Gates of the Moon. Now he saw Mia and a team of servants bringing bread.

and wine, he ordered the suspension bridge to be lowered again.

At this time, many canyon lords and nobles had gathered outside the Gates of the Moon. When Sir Nestor ordered people to raise the drawbridge, everyone outside the city knew that the owner of the castle was preparing to welcome guests.

Now that Sir Nestor has lowered the drawbridge and opened the door, it means that the owner of the castle is ready to welcome guests like them.

The first people to lead people through the gate of the Gates of the Moon were Earl Redford and Countess Waynwood. As elders among the lords of the six major towns in the valley, it was natural for them to take the lead based on their qualifications and age.

.

Although Mia Shidong is the illegitimate daughter of King Robert who stayed in the valley, the aristocratic etiquette education she received at the Gates of the Moon is no less than that of the heirs of the lords who were trained according to their family successors. Therefore, she can

Easily identify everyone based on the family crest they wear.

The short, fat man with the red castle embroidered on his chest is obviously Lord Redford. His gray-white beard is neatly trimmed and he looks kind-hearted. Mrs. Anya is the only woman among the lords of the six towns. She

Although she is a widow, she is now the patriarch of the Waywood family. Her dark green coat is inlaid with the black jade broken wheel crest of the Waywood family.

Mia Stone and Sir Nestor came forward together and presented bread, cheese and warm wine in silver cups to these two respected lords of the Six Towns.

Following closely behind him was the Earl of Belmore, who had six silver bells embroidered on his purple clothes. He walked into the castle with a pear-shaped belly, and numerous short yellow and gray beards protruded from his chin that was almost connected to his neck;

Simon Temperton was just the opposite of him, with a black and pointed beard, a pointed nose and ice-blue eyes, making this Knight of Nine Stars City like a raptor in the sky.

The white mink cloak that little Earl Hunter was wearing seemed unremarkable at first glance, but Mia Shidong discovered that the pins he used to fasten the cloak were the family crest - five silver arrows spread out in a fan shape.

.

Although this man is only over forty now, he looks to be close to fifty. His father, Old Hunter, ruled the Longbow Hall for sixty years, but recently died suddenly. There are rumors that he was

Her son couldn't wait to inherit the title. Little Hunter's face and nose were as red as cherries, no doubt because of his lust for wine and sex. She decided to pour him a few more glasses of wine, so that he would not be having sex with Mr. Gao Yuan.

He was talking nonsense during the meeting.

The youngest lord among the visitors had three crows embroidered on his chest, and each crow held a blood-red heart under its sharp talons. This man had long brown shawl hair, and a messy curl hanging from his forehead.

, this is Ser Lyn Corbray. He is also one of Lady Lysa's suitors and is still entangled with her today.

Lord "Bronze Yohn" Yohn Royce was the last lord of the six towns to enter the castle. The Earl of Runestone City was as tall as the hound Sandor Clegane. Even though

His hair is gray and his face is weathered, but many years of holding a high position still give him an indescribable courage and momentum. The giant hands intertwined in front of him seem to be able to easily break an adult's neck at any time.

His cousin Sir Nestor Royce hurriedly came forward and offered bread to the head of his main family. But the bronze Lord Yohn just took the bread from his cousin's hand with a serious expression and bit into it.

After taking a sip, he snorted coldly and stuffed it back into Sir Nestor's arms.

Mia Shidong took a deep breath, then stepped forward boldly and handed over the glass filled with red wine: "Lord Royce, do you want to enjoy the wine?"

Bronze Yohn's gray eyes rested on Mia Stone's delicate and clean face for a moment, and it was obvious that he also recognized the illegitimate daughter that King Robert left behind in the canyon.

The original serious expression gradually relaxed and turned into a hint of kindness: "Thank you for the wine, beautiful lady."

Bronze Jon took the wine glass from Mia Shidong's hand: "I know your father, and I was very surprised to see you are still here. He has not taken you away until now. It is simply too disrespectful.

Responsibility."

Mia Shidong's eyes widened when she heard this, and her face instantly turned pale. Fortunately, Sir Nestor came up to help her out: "The new Guardian of the East believes that Mia's stay in the Eagle's Nest City is actually a

A very good choice, the place where his father is now is too dangerous for an illegitimate daughter like her."

"He said Miss Mia's fate is bad enough, but here she at least has the right to choose her own happiness."

"We haven't recognized his identity as the guardian of the canyon yet." Bronze Yohn heard this and glared at Sir Nestor fiercely, "But what he said is right. Such a lovely and innocent girl should not be trapped in this trap.

In that quagmire.”

Earl Yohn looked at Mia Shidong again: "If anyone dares to bully you in the canyon, you can ask me or Nestor for help. At least I can still provide you with some shelter in the canyon. This is also

This can be considered as making up for your irresponsible father for the suffering you have suffered over the years."

"Thank you for your love, Lord Earl!" Mia Shidong forced a smile on her face, "Now I am very satisfied to be able to live in the Eagle's Nest City and the Gates of the Moon, and Lord Nestor is also very happy with me.

take care of."

"It seems that this new guardian of the canyon is very good at winning the favor of girls. He has hooked up with the illegitimate daughter of the canyon within less than five days." Lynn Corbray's face

He commented with a mischievous smile, and Earl Belmore burst out laughing after hearing this. It was not until Earl Yohn turned his head and gave the two men a warning look that they restrained themselves.

Mia Shidong felt her cheeks suddenly become hot. Only Countess Waywood stepped forward and asked with concern: "How old are you, child?"

"I just celebrated my seventeenth name day not long ago, madam." Mia Shidong replied politely, "I am no longer a child, and many girls in the castle have been married at my age.

"

"Really, has anyone opened the package for you?" Little Earl Hunter's beard almost covered half of his face, but it can be imagined that under his beard, there is now a

What a vulgar expression.

"I think she has seduced many men in the castle now." Lynn Corbray's dirty words made Countess Waynwood feel nauseous, and everyone present felt ashamed to be in his company.

"Look at her tight waist and thighs, as well as her surging majesty. Sitting on a man and shaking her would definitely kill him."

"Has the family tradition in Heartland City fallen to this?" Although Anya Waywood is a widow, her ability to convince her husband's family is not based on her identity as Mrs. Waywood. The kindness and dignity in her words have to be

It's awe-inspiring.

"This girl is still young, but she is docile and knows etiquette. The injustice of fate has made her suffer a lot. Her status as an illegitimate daughter has made her situation extremely bad. Please watch your words, Sir!"

"I know how to care about my words!" Earl Corbray retorted, "I hope you, Madam, can also pay attention to your words. Many people who have died in my hands will tell you that I am not a knight who likes to listen to others' lessons."

Countess Waywood ignored Earl Corbray, and just pulled Mia Shidong aside to comfort her. But Bronze John stood up again at this time: "Earl Corbray, I heard that you have always treated women

Not interested, since your thing has no use anymore, how about I pick it for you."

It is not the job of Mia and Sir Nestor to stand at the city gate to welcome the guests. The reason why they greet them in person is just to show respect to these important town lords. Therefore, after the six important town lords entered

After entering the castle, the task of receiving the remaining nobles and nobles was left to the steward and other servants in the castle.

"The new guardian of the canyon has been waiting for you in the hall for a long time. Sir, please move." Under the leadership of Mia Shidong, everyone walked through the atrium and walked into the hall of dozens of people wearing sky blue cloaks.

In the hall guarded by the moon gate guards.

When the lords of the important town, led by Mia Shidong, entered the hall of the Gate of the Moon, which was filled with the crescent falcon flag of the Arryn family. Gao Yuan, dressed in luxurious brocade clothes, stood calmly and calmly on a high position.

He carefully looked at the lords who entered the hall, watching the guests take their seats one after another, but never said a word.

During this period, he neither expressed welcome to the lords nor instructed his servants to refill the silver cups in their hands with wine. The lords who were already seated were secretly guessing in their hearts who King Robert's latest appointed Warden of the East was.

The smell of cardamom and precious spices from across the strait that filled the air was refreshing, but the atmosphere in the hall was once very depressing.

Gao Yuan specially left a place for Sir Nestor Royce by his side. Now it is time for him to make a choice, in front of the lords of the canyon. Whether he will join the lords of the six major towns

, sitting opposite Gao Yuan. He chose to walk to the dark side and stood beside Gao Yuan to support him. Sir Nestor hesitated for a long time, and finally walked to the empty seat next to Gao Yuan.

Other nobles in the canyon were still entering and taking their seats one after another. Mia Shidong led the servants in the castle and poured wine for these nobles who came from afar. Until this time, they came to attend Gao Yuan's inauguration.

The canyon nobles attending the ceremony all entered, and the guards in blue cloaks slowly closed the heavy wooden door.

As the two doors closed, the entire hall suddenly became quiet.

"Tell us the purpose of your invitation to us this time, Sir Gao Yuan." Sir Simon Temperton first lost his patience and stood up to question Gao Yuan.

"Originally, I wanted to invite you all to have lunch before we talk about business! Since you want to get straight to the point..." Gao Yuan took out the king's appointment letter from his arms and handed it to Ba on the side.

Ser Lestan, "Then I'll trouble you, Ser Barristan."

Ser Barristan walked up to the lords with the king's appointment letter and showed the lacquer seal with the king's seal to everyone:

"I am here to prove to all your lords in the name and identity of King Robert Baratheon's Captain of the Kingsguard, a knight of House Selmy, and the fearless Ser Barristan: The gift in my hand is related to the lofty and far-reaching

Your lord's letter of appointment is indeed from King Robert's decree."

"King Robert ordered me to be a witness to this appointment. I was also present when Lord Gao Yuan accepted the king's appointment in Darry City." Ser Barristan raised the appointment letter in his hand, "Lord Gao Yuan was appointed by King Robert.

, the newly appointed Warden of the East and Duke of the Eyrie, this appointment will be valid until Lord Robert Arryn, the first heir to the former Prime Minister Lord Jon Arryn, reaches adulthood."

"This edict will have the same effect as the king's law! During the period when Ser Gaoyuan is temporarily acting as the guardian of the East and the Duke of the Eagle's Nest, the edict orders all vassals who have sworn allegiance to Lord Jon Arryn to obey Gaoyuan's orders.

Sir, anyone who disobeys this order shall be punished with treason!!!"

As soon as Ser Barristan finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall of the Gates of the Moon. Everyone was horrified by the severity of the order. This was not only King Robert's appointment of Gao Yuan, but also a direct order to the canyon.

Each lord took orders directly from Gao Yuan.

The former and the latter are almost incompatible. The former is just a layer of status given by King Robert. If the lords of the canyon do not recognize his rule or are unwilling to obey his orders, even Gao Yuanding

With their identities as the Guardian of the East and the Duke of the Eyrie, they had no choice but to face the canyon lords who were unwilling to surrender.

The meaning of the latter is completely different. This is almost an order from King Robert to all the canyon lords to directly obey the orders of Gao Yuan, the imperial envoy. He just asked them to swear allegiance to Gao Yuan again. Anyone who disobeys the order will be charged with treason.

Discuss.

Whether it was in the era of the Seven Kingdoms before Aegon the Conqueror landed, or after Aegon the Conqueror unified the entire Westeros continent and became the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and the guardian of the entire territory, the crime of treason has always been in the Westeros continent.

Xanadu is a very serious crime.

Since the era of the Andal invasion, criminals who commit treason will be sentenced to death according to the king's law. The noble privileges of themselves and the families behind them will be deprived of their noble privileges in accordance with the law, and all ranks, positions and titles will be deprived and confiscated.
