Chapter 112

~30 min read 5,831 words

The wedding was held by the sea, and Brienne felt no surprise. Across Westeros, weddings held by the sea occur only on Tarth or the Iron Islands; the only difference is that Tarth still worships the Seven, while the Iron Islands worship the Drowned God. It's not that Tarth lacks a sept, but because the legendary hero "Morninglight" Galladon wed his bride by the sea, and under the sea's blessing or curse begot many children, who became the ancestors of all the nobles and smallfolk of Tarth today.

Asha thought their feast would be held in Pyke, but in fact, on the stony sandy ground by the coast, Euron had erected many huge tents, the central one made from a single enormous piece of golden sea-monster canvas; from afar, one could see a huge sea monster lying on the beach from the high ground. She heard someone nearby discussing how many guests this tent could hold, and how many dancers could perform simultaneously.

So, obviously, today's feast will not be in the castle.

"This is best." Asha, dressed in a gown, rode beside Brienne on horseback, "That way we won't have to worry about bloodshed in Pyke."

Brienne was shocked by Asha's boldness, and carefully glanced at the people before and after, making sure no one heard her blatant plot.

"Don't worry! This kind of conversation can only be heard by the two of us and the Drowned God." She said confidently, "You also don't need to deliberately lower your voice, or else I won't hear what you're saying. If you shout 'Watch out, get down,' and I then ask bewildered, 'What are you saying?' then we're totally screwed."

"I've heard that someone can tell what another person is saying by reading their lips."

"If Euron or anyone near him could still read my lips to know what I'm saying, I'd concede, haha. What I worry about isn't that someone could judge what I'm saying by lip-reading; I only worry that my Drowned God's ears aren't good enough—you know, the old fellow spends all day in the sea listening to the waves, and anything that constantly hears that sound can't make out human speech." She lifted her head, smiling, "I'd say he's a numbskull. My wet-haired uncle, oh, that's Aeron, a staunch believer in the Drowned God, already its priest, praying all day for Euron's demise, yet Euron lives on, and lives better each day."

Brienne looked at Asha, puzzled; generally, those who revere a god would never mock the god they believe in, just as Brienne would never speak of the Seven in that tone.

Along the way, Asha, like a child who can't sit still, casually introduced Brienne to the various people of the Iron Islands and their amusing quirks. Among those she mentioned was the "barber" Nute, whose nickname came from his youth, when he could shave men's beards with a throwing axe; she mentioned the camel driver Hosea, who, though a Harlaw, had early on sworn allegiance to her uncle Victarion; Asha recalled that one of his sons had his head impaled on the road from Deepwood Motte to the sea; besides those, there were the two sons of Glover, the musician Little Lonwood Taonora, the singer Romney Weave, and so on.

These names were to Brienne like the firewood she had once chopped—utterly devoid of nourishment, and their only purpose was to waste her time. To her, these names were as meaningless as the various flags fluttering along the road.

"I don't know them, and I don't want to. But I promise you, if they draw their swords on you, I'll kill them without first thinking of their names or the amusing things they've done."

"I'm truly moved, Brienne of Tarth." She gave a wan smile, "Coincidentally, I think there's someone you definitely want to meet—I've been meaning to introduce you to him."

"On this island, the only person I want to meet is Sansa Stark."

"Maybe. Do you see that big-bearded old fellow over there?" Asha pointed to a man on horseback slightly ahead in the procession, "You'll definitely want to meet him."

Following her gaze, Brienne saw an old man who looked hardy, his white-and-gray curly beard completely covering his chin, the moustache on his upper lip likewise growing wildly to both sides. He rode a black horse, bore no banner, and stared straight ahead, as if countless thoughts weighed on his heart, or as if he had already accepted his fate.

"I haven't seen anything special about him." The old man wore ordinary gray woolen clothes, a sleeveless vest, and a worn-out, oily, pallid seal-skin coat.

"He is Stannis's chancellor." She turned to Brienne, forcing a smile, "He was captured by Euron together with Sansa Stark and a certain noble girl from the Three Sisters Islands."

Musician

"Why wasn't he ransomed by Stannis?" Brienne stared at the old man, double-checking, before realizing it was indeed the Onion Knight. He looked at least ten years older than when she last saw him, and appeared to have lost at least twenty pounds.

"Someone offered gold equal to his weight for his release, but he refused it himself." Asha laughed, "I've never seen such a foolish chancellor or knight—of course, except maybe you."

Luomuniweifang

"He and you are both true knights. He gave up the chance to be ransomed in order to protect a young viscount's daughter, and of course also deprived Euron of the chance to sell him for a good price. So, while imprisoned, although he was a kingdom's chancellor, he still suffered greatly." Asha spoke to her in a storytelling tone, "I was charged by the king to protect the Stark maiden, and I failed; I was entrusted by the viscount to look after his beloved daughter, and I likewise failed—until the viscount's daughter is safely returned, until she ceases to suffer unjust treatment, I will not abandon her, nor will I agree to let anyone buy me with gold." Asha spoke in the Onion Knight's manner, as if these were words she had heard herself.

"If I ever come to rule the Iron Islands, I will surely turn his story into a ballad. The Iron Islands lack such knights, but are full of shameless brigands. Heh, making a living by raiding only shows that they are barnacles clinging to Westeros, not sea monsters that hunt on their own—what merit do barnacles have to become players?"

Brienne didn't hear her assessment of the ironborn; she was still pondering the oddity of their earlier conversation.

Perhaps the Onion Knight is stubborn enough, or perhaps he is old-fashioned and thus seems chivalrous, but…

"In Iron Islands history, there have also been mad civil wars, mutual plundering and brawling, but no one could gain the upper hand, so they eventually set aside their grudges, united under the name of the Iron Islands to launch outward attacks, and kept peace among themselves. I think, if the Iron Islands can do that, then the Iron Islands and Westeros…"

"I don't understand." Brienne was uninterested in Iron Islands affairs, "You didn't say the Onion Knight was to protect Sansa Stark, so why say he gave up the chance to be ransomed to protect a young viscount's daughter?"

Viscount

King

"The question you should be asking is, who wants to ransom the Onion Knight with gold."

"Of course it's Stannis!" Who else would spend money to buy a smuggler-born chancellor?

"Ha, I doubt Stannis's coffers still hold even a single gold dragon. Ser Brienne, the one who wants to ransom the Onion Knight with gold is the she-wolf."

"What about Sansa Stark?" Since the she-wolf is willing to ransom Stannis's chancellor, she has no reason to abandon her own sister.

Winterfell

"I have an uncle named Victarion, whom I've already told you about. Did you see him at the wedding? This is his niece's wedding; he is healthy, unlike my mother, so there's no reason he shouldn't attend, yet he hasn't. He…"

"You know that Lángnǚ has redeemed Shānsā Shǐtǎkè!" Bùléinī questioned Āshā, her reproachful voice drawing attention from all around; she had to lower her voice: "You deceived me!"

questioned

her reproachful voice drawing attention from all around; she had to lower her voice

Now line 38:

"I haven't." She stared at Bùléinī, calmly gazing back at her, "I have absolutely no need to deceive you, and even if I did deceive you, I wouldn't hint at it now—didn't I tell you the identity of the Yángcū Qíshì?"

Line 39:

Shānsā has already been redeemed by Lángnǚ!

Line 40:

【40】 Bùléinī felt that her presence in the Iron Islands was like a clumsy joke and a deliberate prank by the gods—if she hadn't met those two ironborn in Sea Border City, if when she was selling horses in Sea Border City she had listened more patiently to the merchants' chatter instead of rushing to the Iron Islands, if she had followed Bō dé ruì kè's advice to report the news to Winterfell or Sea Border City, if what she discussed on the boatwoman's boat hadn't constantly been Xī ēn's bastard—too many, too many 'ifs' slipped away from her one by one, leading her to set foot on the Iron Islands and plunge into dishonorable conspiracies and chaos.

Now line 41:

If I were you, I'd be happy, right? After all, the Miss Shānsā you want to protect has already safely returned to Winterfell. Hehe, let me talk about my uncle—he lost in the kingsmoot, was too eager to expand his own longship and increase his own strength, so he chose to personally lead a raid on the shipbuilding materials of Sea Border City—this is really stupid—resulting in his capture by the Lángnǚ—this is practically a huge gift from the Lángnǚ to Yōu lún—the experience of captivity makes it even harder for him to challenge Yōu lún's authority, especially since he himself was also redeemed by Yōu lún. Hehe, Yōu lún almost at the fastest speed sent Miss Shānsā back to Winterfell and also took back his own younger brother, he kept it secret very well, hehe, my uncle Wéi kè tǎ lì áng is the same, as for whether he truly wanted to keep it secret or was ashamed, I don't know—I'm sorry, this is the reason, Miss, I only learned this news when I set foot on Pài kè dǎo—my uncle has never shown up, which has made me slightly suspicious.

Hehe, let me get back to my uncle—he lost in the kingsmoot, was too eager to expand his own longship and increase his own power, so he chose to personally lead a raid to loot the shipbuilding materials of Sea Border City—which was really stupid—as a result he was captured by the Lángnǚ—this is practically a huge gift from the Lángnǚ to Yōu lún—the experience of captivity makes it even harder for him to challenge Yōu lún's authority, especially since he himself was also redeemed by Yōu lún.

Now we need to output each line exactly as 【N】 translation.

We must ensure we didn't miss any lines. We have 37-48 inclusive, that's 12 lines.

Now we need to check for any missing punctuation or extra spaces.

Let's produce final answer.

But before finalizing, we need to double-check the pinyin for each name, ensuring correct tone marks and spacing.

We'll list names and their pinyin:

- Lángnǚ

- Shānsā

- Shānsā Shǐtǎkè

- Bùléinī

- Āshā

- Yángcū Qíshì

- Bō dé ruì kè

- Xī ēn

- Yōu lún

- Wéi kè tǎ lì áng

- Pài kè dǎo

Now we need to ensure we used correct pinyin for each.

Now check each line's pinyin usage.

Line 37: Lángnǚ, Shānsā Shǐtǎkè, Bùléinī, Āshā.

We wrote: "Lángnǚ", "Shānsā Shǐtǎkè", "Bùléinī", "Āshā". Good.

Bùléinī, Iron Islands, Sea Border City, Bō dé ruì kè, Winterfell, Xī ēn, boatwoman

We also used "Sea Border City". We need to ensure we didn't accidentally add extra words like "Sea Border City" is two words? Actually "Sea Border City" three words. That's fine.

We used "Iron Islands". Good.

We used "Winterfell". Good.

We used "boatwoman". Good.

We used "Xī ēn". Good.

Now line 41: We used many names: Shānsā, Winterfell, Lángnǚ, Yōu lún, Wéi kè tǎ lì áng, Pài kè dǎo.

We wrote: "Shānsā", "Winterfell", "Lángnǚ", "Yōu lún", "Wéi kè tǎ lì áng", "Pài kè dǎo". Need to check tone marks for each.

- Shānsā

- Winterfell: translated.

- Lángnǚ: Láng (second tone) nǚ (third tone). Good.

- Yōu lún

Line 44: Bùléinī.

Line 45: Āshā.

Line 46: Bùléinī.

Line 47: No names.

Line 48: Yángcū Qíshì.

Now we need to ensure we didn't accidentally translate any name that should be romanized. For example, "Yángcū Qíshì" we romanized as Yángcū Qíshì. Good.

Now check each line's translation for completeness and fidelity.

Let's rewrite each line with the exact format.
