~5 min read 865 words

"Liu, why are you so good to me?"

Liu Bei lifted her chin.

"Silly girl, the moment I saw you, I felt drawn to you."

Sansa said with pleasant surprise,

"Me too; I thought you liked Margaery."

"That was an illusion."

Sansa blushed.

"Really?"

The two found a quiet place to chat!

Liu Bei thought to himself,

"I've saved Sansa's fate and spared her from the abuse of the Bastard of Bolton; it's not unreasonable to collect some interest, is it?"

At this moment, the Imp was also chatting with Shae.

Over the next three days,

Liu Bei shuttled between Margaery and Sansa, convincing both of them, which could secure the support of the North and the Reach.

With the support of two of the Seven Kingdoms, being tired was worth it!

Liu Bei sighed, thinking that he had done so much for the Mother of Dragons; if she knew, she would probably be moved to tears.

Time passed quickly.

Today was the big day of Joffrey's wedding.

The people of King's Landing had secretly given Joffrey the nickname "the Cuckold King."

This made Joffrey furious; he planned to deal with Margaery after the wedding and then have someone finish off Liu Bei—he couldn't wait any longer!

The wedding proceeded as scheduled.

Liu Bei was also invited; he didn't know what kind of mindset Joffrey would have upon seeing him.

Liu Bei was clearly very popular; at the open-air banquet,

Many noblewomen surrounded him.

"Count Cass, can you tell me how you killed the despicable old Walder Frey? Come to my house tonight and tell me."

"Come to my house!"

Liu Bei broke into a sweat; he was indeed going to be very busy tonight!

Prince Oberyn Martell of Dorne and his wife walked over.

"Are you the Count Cass who cuckolded Joffrey?"

Liu Bei smiled bitterly.

"Prince, those are just rumors, not necessarily true; I am innocent."

Oberyn laughed loudly.

"Count Cass, I like your sincerity."

His wife, however, patted Liu Bei.

"I like his muscles even more."

Liu Bei thought: These two know how to play!

However, he liked the Prince's several Sand Snake daughters even more—sexy and hot, with lips painted with deadly poison!

That prison seduction scene was captivating!

Oberyn laughed.

"You ruined Tywin's plans; I like that."

Liu Bei nodded.

"Perhaps we can become friends."

Dorne was also one of the targets he wanted to win over.

The three chatted quite well, bursting into laughter from time to time.

Tywin, the Queen of Thorns, Cersei, Joffrey, and Margaery were already seated on the high platform.

The musicians were performing "The Rains of Castamere."

The Imp walked over with a wine cup. "Liu, how about it? This anthem is quite good, isn't it?"

Liu Bei said indifferently, "I last heard it at the Red Wedding at the Twins, where thousands died."

Sansa stared at Liu Bei, her adoration impossible to hide; young girls are like that—once they've tasted the fruit, they want to stick to Liu Bei forever and never part.

The Imp's eyelids twitched; although he and Sansa were a fake couple, he wished they would at least show him some respect.

Joffrey watched with great displeasure.

"Damn Cass!"

Sansa was supposed to marry him, and Margaery was destined to marry him, yet both of them seemed to be with Cass...

He couldn't stand it anymore; he stood up and clapped his hands.

"Everyone, today is a big day for Margaery and me. How about a tournament to liven things up?"

Everyone looked over; what was this foolish cuckold king planning to do now?

Joffrey pointed at Liu Bei.

"Count Cass rescued Jaime and killed the despicable old Walder Frey and the traitor Bolton; his martial prowess is extraordinary."

He then pointed at Ashoka.

"My knights are unconvinced and wish to challenge you."

"Count Cass, do you dare to face them?"

Joffrey pointed at the dozen or so knights on Ashoka's side, which included two Kingsguard.

Liu Bei walked over and smiled.

"Your Majesty, you wouldn't have me fight those dozen people alone, would you?"

He deliberately raised his voice on the word "alone."

Everyone burst into laughter; Joffrey was too useless to find someone for a one-on-one duel and wanted to have a mob beat up Count Cass.

Joffrey snorted.

"You are a martial arts champion; fighting a dozen shouldn't be a problem, right? Or are you afraid?"

Liu Bei thought: A provocation?

Littlefinger also smiled.

"Count Cass is extraordinarily brave and is the object of worship for thousands of maidens in King's Landing; everyone wants to see your performance."

Liu Bei nodded and looked at Joffrey.

"Your Majesty, I can liven things up, but there must be a wager."

Joffrey was secretly delighted; as long as he took the bait, it would work.

"What do you want?"

Liu Bei looked at Margaery beside Joffrey; the meaning was self-evident!

The crowd was in an uproar; stealing the King's bride? This Count Cass was truly bold!

Oberyn laughed loudly.

"I really like this Count Cass!"

Joffrey trembled with rage.

Liu Bei laughed.

"Naturally, it would be Your Majesty's most beloved—hmm, the Valyrian steel sword, Widow's Wail!"
