#246 - Chapter 20: Red Wedding (Part 4)

At that moment, the wind gradually grew stronger, like a furious beast roaring wildly. The waves also began to surge, one higher than the other, as if trying to swallow the entire world. Raindrops the size of beans mercilessly pelted the windows, creating a crackling sound, as if they would shatter the fragile glass at any moment.

Daenerys Targaryen couldn't help but clench her fists, knowing that in such extreme weather conditions, the fleet would undoubtedly face unprecedented risks. However, the belief in her heart was as hot as a burning bonfire, and she firmly believed that she and her brave and fearless people would be able to overcome this difficult situation. "I am Daenerys Stormborn!"

Looking into the distance, the view became wider and wider. Around the huge flagship, nearly three hundred large ships were closely and orderly arranged, like a steel fleet, advancing bravely and breaking through the waves on the vast ocean.

In the morning, the first ray of sunlight shone through the window into the room, illuminating a peaceful and ambiguous atmosphere. Liu Yuan sat quietly on the edge of the bed, silently lighting a cigarette, and the smoke slowly rose, filling the air. Caitlyn, who was beside him, lay buried in the bed, her exposed skin still retaining the afterglow and blush of passion.

Caitlyn was ten years older than his body. Liu Yuan didn't really care too much about a woman's age. Back then, when he married Tian Zao, she was about the same age. Moreover, Mrs. Caitlyn... was very moist! Last night, she was like an uninhibited wild horse, indulging her inner desires and enthusiasm. But now, as the passion faded, Caitlyn calmed down and felt ashamed, so she chose to lie there pretending to be asleep.

Liu Yuan knew Caitlyn's mood at this time. In order not to embarrass her too much, he quickly put on his clothes, tidied up, and quietly left the room. Not only that, but he also considerately took all the guards away, leaving Caitlyn with a relatively private space.

Seeing Liu Yuan leave, Caitlyn sat up from the bed and covered her blushing face with her hands. Recalling her impulsive behavior last night, she felt regret. Originally, she just wanted to thank Liu Yuan for saving her children, but she never expected that she would give herself to him. This sudden decision made her a little overwhelmed. She slowly sat up from the bed, stretched, and slowly got out of bed, bending down to pick up the black cloak that had accidentally fallen on the ground last night. Her eyes inadvertently swept across the table by the bed, and she found a set of exquisite women's clothes neatly placed on it. She couldn't help but feel surprised, never expecting that this Sir Garron was so considerate and delicate, and a trace of emotion surged in her heart.

Liu Yuan, who didn't have too many expectations for the Twins, felt that this small castle was not worth visiting. So, he resolutely decided to go straight to the bridge across the river. When he stepped on the bridge, the Frey's soldiers not only did not step forward to stop him, but instead showed enthusiastic and friendly smiles, expressing welcome. The bridge was built exceptionally strong, and the wide bridge surface gave people a sense of solidity.

Liu Yuan walked leisurely to the bridge, casually took out the fishing rod he carried, and began to fish leisurely. In fact, he didn't really want to catch fish, but just wanted to pass the boring time.

The castle was still noisy, and people were happily busy, carefully arranging the venue for the upcoming wedding. However, behind this joyful and peaceful atmosphere, Liu Yuan keenly noticed a subtle strangeness. He noticed that the smiles on the faces of those core members of the Frey family seemed a bit forced, as if they were hiding some unknown thoughts.

At this moment, a light figure quietly approached Liu Yuan.

"My lord, I have something to report to you." It turned out to be Brienne.

Liu Yuan nodded, signaling her to sit down and talk: "Why didn't you stay with Rickon and Caitlyn? Okay, tell me what happened?"

Brienne's cheeks instantly flushed with a blush. There is no doubt that she knew about Caitlyn's stay. She deliberately lowered her voice and whispered: "I noticed something strange about the Bolton's soldiers. Their behavior is very different from that of the Northern Army next door, giving me a feeling of unease. Also, I found that Dominic Bolton has bad intentions towards Sansa Stark."

Liu Yuan casually threw the fish he had just caught back into the river, and responded thoughtfully: "I already knew about this. The Bolton family must have a problem. Brienne, your primary task is to ensure the safety of Caitlyn and others. As for other matters, you don't need to worry, Robb and I will handle it properly."

Since the afternoon, the wedding preparations have been in full swing. The Frey family's castle was crowded with people, and many servants and temporary workers were busy non-stop. They carefully prepared the food and sent it to various camps.

This time, the Frey family can be said to have spared no expense. The number of sheep slaughtered alone exceeded two thousand, and there were countless chickens, ducks, fish and meat supplied. The huge cost of this feast will let those Northerners who have never seen the world have a good look! And there are countless baskets of black bread, enough for the entire Twins to eat for more than a year!

In fact, such a luxurious wedding should have been paid for by the Stark family. It's a pity that Robb didn't carry a lot of money with him when he went on the expedition, and almost all the wealth he seized was left in Riverrun. Helpless, Old Walder had to pay in advance, but he knew in his heart that these contributions would be doubled in the future when Riverrun was captured.

As time passed, the Twins became more and more noisy. The festive atmosphere of the wedding became more and more intense, and people sang and laughed, so happy. However, if a careful person pays attention, they may notice that some important members of the Frey family have disappeared quietly at some point. It turns out that these people, after learning the truth behind the wedding, expressed disbelief and firm opposition, so they were ruthlessly imprisoned by Old Walder.

Night fell, and the bonfire outside was lit. The music started, and people began to dance and celebrate. The wedding officially began. Since the Tully and Frey families believe in the Seven Gods, the wedding was presided over by a clergyman.

Meribald was a famous barefoot friar in the Riverlands who had lived in the Riverlands all his life. He could not read or write, but he could recite The Seven-Pointed Star and various prayers, which enabled him to serve as a friar. For forty years, he has roamed the Riverlands, presiding over weddings and confessions for the people, who provide him with food and lodging.
