Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web
#198 - engagement
Looking at the golden crown that matched the King's crown in style, Margaery tilted her head curiously.
“Your Majesty, what amazing magic.”
She was full of excitement, and naturally挽住 Joffrey's arm and shook it gently.
“Teach me~”
“Change!” Margaery stretched out her white and tender little hand and pointed it randomly, pretending to cast a spell, “Turn into a lot of gold. Um, and beautiful jewelry.”
Joffrey was amused.
“Haha, there's no need to do magic, you already have it all, my dear Margaery.”
“You are the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.”
He brought the carefully prepared queen's crown closer to the girl's soft brown hair.
Margaery seemed embarrassed, shaking her head to avoid it, but the crown followed closely, without any intention of slowing down.
Her eyes rolled around nimbly for a few circles, paused, and still didn't dodge anymore.
The queen's crown was successfully placed on her head.
The "Queen of Thorns" then spoke again, "Your Majesty, from what you mean, Renly is not dead yet, so his marriage contract with Margaery… …"
The slightly ambiguous atmosphere was instantly broken.
Joffrey calmly took the golden rose wreath from Margaery's hand and decorated it on his golden crown.
The red-robed monk Thoros squeezed over from the crowd, holding up a roll of parchment.
“That marriage contract is invalid at all.” Thoros said.
“Renly is undoubtedly a traitor and an ambitious person, neither a good lord nor could he be a good husband.”
“What's more, this is just a verbal agreement, Miss Margaery hasn't agreed yet.”
Everyone was attracted by Thoros's speech.
The scroll held by the red-robed monk was the focus of countless eyes. The scroll was sealed with a six-pointed star of wax mud. Six-pointed star, the new symbol of the Church of the Seven Gods.
“This is the annulment of the marriage contract signed by the High Septon.”
Everyone immediately understood.
A marriage without consummation can be annulled by the High Septon. Moreover, the annulment of the marriage contract signed by the High Septon does not require any witnesses, only a request from at least one of the two parties to the marriage is required.
Did Margaery make a request?
People know it well.
In any case, the validity of this document remains.
The red-robed monk Thoros publicly opened the seal and handed the document to the King and others.
Margaery saw it clearly.
The document stated the articles of annulment of the marriage contract and the High Septon's signature, with the seal of the church. A ink pen lay at the bottom of the document, next to a blank line.
“Dear Margaery.”
Joffrey's eyes were gentle, “Just sign here, and everything will be back on track. You can freely choose your lover, and also spare my uncle Renly, who is consumed by ambition.”
He joked: “Otherwise, your brother will be angry.”
Hehe.
Everyone looked at Loras, either openly or secretly, causing him to blush with shame.
Margaery looked at her grandmother.
The “Queen of Thorns” tapped the ground with her cane, “Your Majesty is so considerate. Good granddaughter, what are you hesitating about, quickly do it and correct the stupid mistake your father made.”
So she picked up the ink pen, and the delicate ink marks wandered across the paper, converging into “Margaery Tyrell”.
Then, she smiled brightly at Joffrey and put down the pen.
In the next moment, all the Royal Guards immediately raised their arms and shouted, “Long live Queen Margaery! Long live King Joffrey… …"
The sound shook the wilderness and lasted for a long time.
Joffrey took a step forward, interlocked fingers with his fiancée Margaery, turned around and smiled and waved to his subordinates.
The Highgarden soldiers acting as the honor guard were stunned for a while, and seeing that the atmosphere was still warm, they gradually joined the cheering team, and the voices of “Long live the Queen” and “Long live the King” became louder and more unified.
The “Queen of Thorns” squinted her eyes, seeming to be dozing off, but also seeming to be nodding with satisfaction.
And then.
Margaery waved her free left hand to greet the crowd.
The atmosphere was festive and harmonious… …
After a long time, the congratulations from the noble ladies to the engaged couple gradually subsided, and the crowd talking also quieted down.
It was getting late.
Everyone realized that the King was really about to step into Highgarden.
People made way, the honor guard stood on both sides, and the musicians began to play beautiful music, trying to dilute the serious and dull atmosphere.
But the thoughts in everyone's minds were not disturbed by the music.
After all, the new alliance was reached in too short a time, and the conditions were too harsh, and it was not enough to make people forget what Highgarden looked like yesterday.
Before last night, no one thought that Highgarden would be threatened by war.
Duke Mace and Earl Tarly and others were all stationed with troops on the front line, and the garrisons in Stonebridge, Old Oak, and Blackcrown were all safe and sound. How could Highgarden, located in the rear, welcome the enemy?
However, Loras appeared unexpectedly and brought even more surprising news.
Storm's End had fallen into the hands of King Joffrey.
The rumored miracles and spells were all true, and there was even greater and more magical power.
The “Royal Guards” who possessed divine power were about to arrive at Highgarden. Although the number was less than two thousand, they were much more powerful than twenty thousand troops.
In front of the “cannon”, Highgarden's solid walls were as rotten mud and tiles, and would break with a touch.
Loras's words were earnest, almost pleading.
This news also completely matched the information conveyed by "Lazy" Leo Tyrell.
Is it a lie?
If neither of them had been taught to be pet birds who only knew how to repeat other people's words, then it would be at least five points believable.
And for Highgarden, the risk of five points of destruction was absolutely unacceptable.
Even the tough “Queen of Thorns” had to temporarily restrain her sharpness, hide her thorns, so as not to invite disaster and usher in destruction.
At this time, even if the conditions proposed by King Joffrey were harsh, they could only endure it.
But the mood could not be changed.
Margaery's marriage contract was half good and half bad. Considering the premise of defeat, it could even be regarded as lucky. People were able to greet them with smiling faces, and the atmosphere was warm.
However, more than a thousand soldiers brought by the King would be stationed in Highgarden, and some would stay for a long time.
What will happen?
Willas Tyrell walked up with a limp, “Your Majesty, Highgarden has specially prepared a sedan chair for you, please follow me.”
“No need.” Joffrey glanced at everyone.
After this half-day of personal contact, he already had a preliminary understanding of these people in front of him.
Except for a very few people.
They were fearful and arrogant, cautious but hopeful.
They both feared the power of destruction and doubted its existence. They both resisted the changes in the system and craved its benefits.
A contradictory composite, human nature.
The servant led the white horse. Joffrey wrapped his arms around Margaery's waist and put her on the mount.
“It's so itchy~” Margaery giggled.
Joffrey straddled the white horse, holding his fiancée in his arms, with both hands holding the reins.
He looked at Willas below.
“No matter how comfortable the sedan chair is, how can it compare to touring the beautiful scenery with my lovely queen? It's just right for the two of us to say some sweet nothings.”
Willas bowed, “As you wish. However, the environment of the plant maze in the city is complicated, and my little sister probably won't be able to fully explore it, please allow a servant to guide you.”
After Joffrey issued the instructions in the light curtain, he showed a mysterious smile.
“Don't worry, it won't be complicated soon.”
