The Mountain of Ice and Fire
#1031 - Marriage
"Jon, is the person you have in mind Vilas Tyrell?"
Jon was surprised, and the Emperor spoke of the person he had in mind: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Vilas Tyrell, former Duke of Highgarden, the last bloodline of the Tyrell family.
When he was young, he injured his right leg in a contest with Oberon of the Red Viper, causing a lifelong disability.
Later, he abandoned martial arts to study literature, and built a scholar's necklace in the scholar city of Old Town.
On the Wall, where there is no war, Vilas Tyrell's knowledge can indeed play a greater role than Jon's.
During wartime, Jon is the best candidate; in peacetime, Vilas may be more suitable for managing the Great Wall.
"Jon, I have a better proposal," the Mountain said.
"Please tell me, Your Majesty." Facing such a shrewd King, Jon suddenly felt that his self-confidence seemed to be less.
His Majesty is invincible in battle, and he knows everything about the big and small affairs, which has already made people forget his villainous reputation.
The Mountain, once synonymous with cruelty and terror, is now, in Jon's view, synonymous with force and wisdom.
Jon sighed in his heart: With the favor of the gods, no matter how people in the past evaluated him, His Majesty is now both civil and military.
"Jon, you are the eternal commander of my Great Wall, and when you are not at the Great Wall, you need a deputy commander, and that person is Vilas Tyrell.
When winter passes and you return to the Great Wall, Vilas Tyrell will be your assistant and deputy commander.
And in the winter season, I allow you to leave the Great Wall freely, but you must go back to inspect it within two months.
You have Rego, which makes it easy to come and go.
Before you get a suitable fief, I want you to live in the Red Fort in King's Landing.
I will give you a tower."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Mountain's proposal solved all the problems Jon was worried about very well.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that dragons are not suitable for living in extremely cold places for a long time, Jon didn't want to leave the Great Wall in his heart.
He likes the extremely cold place, likes the Great Wall, likes the Black Castle and Mole Village, and also likes the Ghost Forest.
The south side of the Great Wall is the territory of the Stark family in the North.
Winterfell, the capital of the North, is where he grew up.
There are all his joys, sorrows, and joys for more than ten years, his familiar blacksmith shop and Shenmu Forest, and his most respected uncle and father who is regarded as the only role model in his life: Duke Ed Stark.

The next day, the Royal Hall.
The courtiers gathered together.
There were more than 20 local Quells nobles among the courtiers.
The Mountain and Lady Jane were seated in high positions, and Daenerys Targaryen, Arianne Martell, High Priest Quaithe, and Arya Stark were seated one step lower on the right.
The four courtiers who were qualified to sit on the bench were all women.
The remaining courtiers stood on the left and right sides of the hall.
Prime Minister Landon Carroll led more than 20 local Quells officials on the left, and the Mountain and Daenerys' courtiers and generals on the right.
Mrs. Horn stood in front of the Mountain's long table with her three children.
The Mountain's eyes fell on Benetta.
This girl is really beautiful.
This beauty is unique, it is a clean and pure beauty.
The Mountain's eyes swept across the beautiful ladies in the hall...
Queen Jane Westerling's beauty is intellectual and elegant, the Dragon Mother Daenerys Targaryen's beauty is majestic, the unparalleled knight Arianne Martell's beauty is sexy and hot, the destined elder Arya Stark's beauty is sharp and deadly, and Princess Benetta Horn's beauty is pure as jade.
The Mountain said: "Mrs. Horn..." His eyes gestured towards Jon Targaryen.
"Yes, Your Majesty," said Mrs. Horn.
Benetta Horn's head was always down.
Even looking at the silhouette of her face, it is a perfect line, which is enjoyable.
This is a girl who has never suffered or tasted the wind and sand of the world.
She is innocent and pure.
However, if you don't take care of it carefully, it may be easy to die young.
A flower in a greenhouse is extremely beautiful!
Once moved out of the greenhouse and placed outside, it is obviously difficult to withstand the storm outside.
But in the face of extreme beauty, which young man can keep his heart calm!
All are mortals!
"Sir Jon Targaryen, please come out."
Jon Targaryen, who was standing next to Arya Stark, stepped out of the queue and stood next to Benetta Horn.
The two faced the Mountain together.
"Benetta Horn, this is my Night's Watch Commander Jon Targaryen, he is also the dragon knight Jon, he is proficient in swordsmanship, upright in character, kind in heart, adheres to the spirit of chivalry, has extraordinary courage and fearless courage.
His father was Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, the former crown prince of the Targaryen Dynasty, and his mother was Lady Lyanna Stark of the Stark family, Benetta, are you willing to marry Sir Jon Targaryen?"
Two blushes flew across Benetta's face, and she said in a low voice: "...Your Majesty...agrees..."
Benetta said agree, not willing.
Agree means that someone has proposed something, maybe she doesn't agree with it in her heart, but maybe because of the situation, she decides to put away her inner wishes and agree with the other party's views or action plan.
Willing is to achieve the wish from the heart.
The Mountain thought he heard the implication in Benetta's words.
He looked at Jon, and Jon obviously didn't hear the implication in Benetta's words.
However, the marriage of the royal family and the nobility has never been dominated by true love.
This is an era when fathers and power can determine a person's marital destiny.
As powerful as Robert Baratheon I, he had to marry Cersei Lannister of the West for the victory of the war; Duke Ed Stark married his brother's fiancée Catelyn Tully for the victory of the war.
The two were strangers when they got married; and Duke Jon Arryn was old enough to be the grandfather of the young Lysa Tully, but in order to support each other in power, the teenage Lysa Tully married the old Duke Jon Arryn... Among these great nobles, from engagement to marriage, they have no feelings for each other, and they have never even met before marriage.
In this kind of thing, as long as Jon doesn't object, it is the best marriage and the best love; even if Jon objects, the Mountain will find a way to bring the two together.
The long sea escort time is enough for Jon and Benetta to cultivate a deep relationship.
Benetta's beauty is unparalleled and is appreciated by Jon!
The first step of love is the attractiveness of appearance, and a beautiful and charming pure girl is always irresistible to passionate young men.
The Mountain said: "In the name of the King of Westeros, Duke of Dragonstone, Guardian of the Whole Territory, Minister of Military Affairs, Conqueror of the Continent of Essos, Dragon Knight, King of Quells, I declare that Benetta Horn and Jon Targaryen are a legal engaged couple from this moment on.
The gods and all the adults and generals in the hall witness this most wonderful moment.
Jon, take Benetta's hand and kiss her."
Jon looked at Benetta, whose face was blushing and shy, and Benetta, who lowered her head, was even more charming and beautiful.
Jon Targaryen's eyes met Mrs. Horn's eyes, and Mrs. Horn's face was full of smiles, and she looked at Jon with admiring and encouraging eyes.
Jon felt his chest burning, he looked at Landon Carroll, and Duke Landon said: "Jon, take Benetta's hand and kiss her."
Jon was sleepless last night.
He did a night of psychological construction, and finally hid the shadow of red-haired Ygritte in the deepest part of his heart.
Of course he needs to get married, because of the family, because of the blood of the Targaryen family.
He is the only male in the Targaryen family, and may also be the only heir.
Daenerys Targaryen is pregnant, but the child will be named Clegane, there is no doubt about that.
Daenerys is very strong, but the Mountain is even stronger.
Originally, Jon had never had any unreasonable thoughts about Benetta Horn, but after Duke Landon Carroll enthusiastically mentioned the marriage, Benetta's beautiful face began to appear in front of Jon's eyes, those eyes, that face, those slender hands, that figure, that look back, all flew and floated in Jon's mind, and could not be driven away.
Princess Benetta's identity also satisfied some shallow vanity desires hidden deep in Jon's heart.
*
Daenerys Targaryen was obviously a little dazed, she whispered in a low voice: "Prince Arianne, have you heard any...news yesterday? About Jon and Benetta?"
Arianne shook her head gently: "Danny, I have never heard the news that Jon will be engaged to Benetta before this."
Arya next to Arianne was also very surprised.
Her relationship with Jon is the best and deepest, but the news came too suddenly, so that she had an illusion.
Jon would definitely tell her in advance about such a big event, but he didn't.
This kid has gone bad after becoming the commander of the Night's Watch!
However, Arya was soon relieved and happy for Jon to be able to marry such a beautiful and charming woman.
Benetta is very beautiful, and her skin is so good that it is unbelievable.
Jon is already at the age of marriage, and he also needs a woman to take care of him.
However, looking at Benetta's snow-white jade-like hands and that otherworldly face, Arya became worried.
After Jon marries this little beauty, I am afraid that he will spend a lot of time taking care of her, just like a father taking care of a little daughter who can't do anything.
Jon took Benetta's hand, then knelt on one knee and kissed the back of Benetta's hand.
Cao, Jorah, Grey Worm, Hero, Missandei, Kane and other generals cheered together!
Asha Greyjoy, Theon Greyjoy, and Euron Greyjoy led more than a dozen naval generals in the queue.
Asha took the lead in shouting, so the naval generals cheered together.
Some dirty words caused laughter in the royal hall.
Jane took off a pair of ice jade bracelets from her wrist, took out a brocade handkerchief and wrapped them up: "Benetta Horn, a small gift, please accept it."
Benetta's family is rich, but this is the Queen's own bracelet, and the meaning is naturally different.
Benetta Horn lowered her head and stretched out her hands to take the bracelet: "Thank you, Queen Your Majesty."
The Mountain took off the famous knife 'Light and Shadow' from his waist: "Jon, the famous oriental knife Light and Shadow, cuts iron like mud, I give it to you, take good care of Benetta."
Jon took the light and shadow: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Arya said: "Jon, you didn't tell me in advance about such a big event as your engagement, I'm too disappointed, so, there is no congratulatory gift."
Jon laughed dryly, looking a little guilty: "Arya, you being here is already the biggest congratulatory gift."
Daenerys Targaryen put on a straight face and said coldly: "Jon, I am the only elder in the Targaryen family.
How can you not inform the elders in advance about the important event of your engagement?"
"Auntie, things are too hasty, I didn't have time to say it, please forgive me."
"I didn't prepare any gifts either, I will make up for them later," Daenerys said.
"...No need for gifts...No need for gifts..."
Arianne smiled and said: "Jon, who is your matchmaker? His Majesty the King? Her Majesty the Queen? Or did you fancy Benetta yourself and find His Majesty the King to ask for a marriage?"
"I am the matchmaker!" Duke Landon Carroll smiled, "This marriage was only mentioned last night, so I didn't have time to inform you adults.
Landon apologizes to you adults and generals here.
Please don't blame Jon and Benetta, things are too urgent, the accident is all on me."
The Mountain said: "Jon is my guardian commander of the Great Wall, and Benetta Horn is a noble lady.
Since I am giving the marriage order today, I will naturally not disappoint everyone.
Those who have good things on them, hurry up and offer gifts.
In an hour, I will set up a banquet in the palace and invite all the adults and soldiers to have a drink of engagement wine."
The generals cheered!
The ministers went forward to congratulate Mrs. Horn (mother), Duke Landon (adoptive father), the King and Queen (engagement witnesses), Ms. Benetta, Sir Jon, and Daenerys Targaryen (aunt).
Mrs. Horn's other two children - the two former princes, became unnoticed 'idlers'.
The two 'princes' are still young, one is a young boy and the other is still a child.
Because of this great joy, the departure time originally arranged for Queen Horn by the Mountain was postponed.
Mrs. Horn married Roffer Spicer, Benetta married Jon, and then sent the two 'princes' to the continent of Westeros, which completely disintegrated and ended the Horn family's influence on Quells.
Those soldiers and courtiers who were loyal to the Horn family, even if they wanted to, lost their goal, they had no backbone, and no leader to swear allegiance to.
This is exactly what the Mountain wants!
A few days later, all the members of the Horn family, who had ruled Quells for hundreds of years, boarded a merchant ship to the continent of Westeros under the escort of Sir Jon Targaryen.
The Horn Dynasty came to a complete end.
