Chapter 717 Conflict
"Traitor!"
"barbarian!"
There was a sudden commotion from the crowd watching on both sides of the road at the Sludge Gate. Some people even opened their mouths to speak rudely at Prince Dorne's carriage. The young Prince Dorne immediately showed an angry expression when he saw his father being humiliated.
"shut up!"
"You lowly bastards!"
And the dozens of Dornish soldiers who followed their prince's carriage also suddenly became nervous, clenching the machetes and shields in their hands.
"You are traitors!"
"Dornishmen are unfamiliar white-eyed wolves!"
"That's right!"
"They are a bunch of uncivilized savages!"
However, Prince Quentin's anger did not result in the disappearance of these voices. Instead, more accusations and slurs appeared.
Because of some of the previous actions and factors such as history, the Dornish people are not very popular in Westeros. Everyone does not like the Dornish people because of their culture, appearance, belief, accent, etc. Both are quite different from the mainstream culture of Westeros.
However, Linhemen, also known as the Sludge Gate in the mouths of the common people, was originally a place where the population at the bottom of King's Landing was relatively concentrated. The fish and dragons were mixed, and there were many people watching the Dorne mission on both sides of the road. Although the young Dorne prince was angry, there was no way to find out. Who makes such a noise in the crowd.
However, at this moment, a stone was thrown out of nowhere in the crowd, and it hit Prince Doran's carriage with a bang.
Clang——
Clang——
Clang——
"Protect the prince!"
"Protect His Royal Highness!"
As soon as the stone was thrown out, the situation on the scene changed suddenly. The Dornish soldiers who were waiting in battle drew out their scimitars and held up their shields. The giant man holding the giant axe also showed anger.
"Find this man!"
On the other side, the Unsullied soldiers who followed Quentin also instantly put out an iron barrel formation to protect the carriage that Prince Doran was riding in the center.
"Oops--"
Seeing this scene, Tyrion and Onion Knight, who were following behind the carriage, glanced at each other and saw that something was bad in each other's eyes, and then the two hurriedly turned over and dismounted.
"calm!"
"Everyone, calm down!"
Tyrion and Davos ran over to be peacemakers, but at this moment, Prince Dorne, who was hot-headed and in a rage, could hear him.
"I killed you!"
Quentin Martell sat on the back of a horse and immediately drew the long sword around his waist and pointed at the people who were making trouble. It seemed that he really wanted to rush over to chop and kill this group of people.
However, at this moment, a calm and unquestionable voice suddenly came from the carriage.
"Alio!"
"Stop him!"
Prince Doran, who was insulted, still seemed very calm. He was not dazzled by anger, and calmly ordered his captain of the guard, the strong man with a giant axe, Alio Hota, to stop Quentin from killing people in the street.
And this strong man had an angry look on his face. If he found out who threw the stone, he would definitely slash him with an axe, but just as his eyes were constantly searching, he suddenly heard the order of Prince Doran.
Immediately, without any hesitation, Alio handed the giant axe in his hand to one hand, and the other hand directly lifted Prince Quentin, who was drawing his sword beside him to kill, off the horse, as if lifting Easy as a chicken.
"What are you doing!"
"let me go!"
"I'm going to kill him!"
However, the black-haired boy still wanted to struggle, but was stunned by Alio Hota's low voice.
"His Royal Highness, this is the prince's order!"
Quentin slumped all of a sudden. The thing he feared the most since he was a child was his father. He seemed to be able to read people's hearts.
There was a lot of noise on both sides of the road. The convoy was safe and sound under the protection of the Dornish soldiers and the Unsullied. The nearby capital garrison heard the news and rushed over to maintain order. The group of pariahs, who were beaten with sticks, ran away.
Afterwards, the convoy of the Dorne Mission left Linhe Gate under the protection. In order to prevent any further accidents, they did not choose to take the narrow hook lane, but went straight from the muddy road to the main road that slanted across the northwest and southeast corners of King's Landing. , and then went straight to the Red Fort.
Now, in the throne room above Aegon's High Hill, many nobles and officials of the empire have gathered here, and they are waiting for the arrival of Prince Doran.
The inquiries and explanations in the King's Landing Throne Hall did not last long. Viserys called Prince Doran to Dorne for the main purpose of shocking and forcing Dorne to bow, rather than really listening to what he had to say.
It doesn't matter what he says, it's the attitude of whether he comes or not that matters.
If Prince Doran had received the Emperor's decree but refused to go to King's Landing to explain, then I'm afraid Viserys would have to personally ride Balerion and tens of thousands of Imperial soldiers to Sunspear to invite his old man. , but the scene at that time may have some difficult endings.
"There are a lot of people in Dorne who want to start a war."
"But I have seen war."
In the gardens of the Red Keep, Arianne and her maid Sansa played with their daughters on the lawn under the shade of trees, while Viserys and Prince Doran were sitting beside him chatting under the umbrella.
The official audience in the Throne Hall was over, and the next thing was time to get along with the family. After all, Prince Doran was his old husband.
"I've seen corpses piled up like mountains on the battlefield."
"I have seen orphans in the city starve to death."
Prince Doran is still sitting in his wheelchair, but the Dornish guards who came to escort have no way to enter the Red Keep, so they can only be pushed by the captain of Prince Doran's bodyguard, Alio Hota. The axe was also temporarily seized after entering the throne room.
"His Majesty."
And this burly man with white hair pushed a wheelchair, and when he saw Viserys, he also respectfully saluted, even though they had been humiliated when they first came to King's Landing, but in etiquette, this Norvos person chose Can't find any fault.
At the same time, he also raised his head to look at Arianne, who was playing with the child not far away, with a rare look of warmth on his serious cheeks.
When he was sixteen, he came to Dorne with Melario, who was about to marry Doran, and became a bodyguard beside Prince Doran.
Therefore, Alio grew up watching all the children of Doran and Melario, especially Arianne. She is the eldest daughter of the two. Alio Hota has a fatherly love for Princess Arianne.
Now that she was able to marry the most powerful man in the world and live happily, Alio Hota was relieved.
