After approaching the northerners, having made a small curtsy, the girl asked how they got settled in the Red Castle. Katielyn started to write about how much she loved it here. She was delighted with everything: the surroundings of their rooms, the view from the window of the Red Castle on the magnificent garden, the city itself, the people who surrounded them. She was particularly impressed by the sea, as she said. For the most part, Ned remained silent, knowing that everything was probably not as bright and beautiful as his sister's imagination. To his twin sister's fervent speech, the young man only added that the local decoration was certainly different from what he and Kat were used to.
Their small talk was interrupted by the appearance in the hall of the tallest woman Shireya had ever met. It was the legendary Sire, knight of Brienne Tart. She was accompanied by a tall, slender young man with golden hair and sapphire eyes. The young lady of the Stormy Edge joyfully shouted and waved with her hand.
Kat turned in the same direction and admired the golden-small young man.
- Who was this handsome man? - the young Princess whispered with her eyes wide open and her cheeks slightly pink. She obviously liked Brienne's young son.
Her brother also turned to meet the newcomers. Brienne and her son did not have time to respond to Shireya's greeting, as the Hand of the King rushed to them with a quick gait. He hugged his nephew firmly and did not let him out of his arms for long.
- There he was. Jaime Lannister's son himself. - Someone's voice was heard, full of sarcasm. The entire Young People Company looked together at whoever said it. It was Titos Lannister.
- Titos! Let me introduce you to Catelyn and Eddarda Arrenov! - With a charming smile, Shireya said, trying to put the topic in a safe place.
With a fake smile on his beautiful face, the son of Hand worshiped Kat and Ned.
- Pleased to meet you, Prince, Princess. - Titos said a chorus of words, while keeping an eye on his cousin and his father, who were talking about something nicely.
- Father! Maybe you'll let your cousin go, so he can say hello to everyone. - With his eyes narrowed, the Young Lion said loudly.
Jenn, smiling at his uncle with a confident gait, walked up to the company of the young men, and looked at Titos and said:
- Cousin! Nice to meet you. - then turned to the young Lady Stormy Edge and the twins. - Shireya, you will not introduce us.
Having said that, Jenn looked closely at the young Prince and examined him from head to toe.
Once again with a big smile, the girl, of course, introduced the northern prince and princess to the young Lannister, and the eloquent glances of the two young men towards each other did not slip away. Shireya smiled again, but this time it was barely noticeable, just the corners of her lips.
Everything that was happening couldn't help but slip away from Titos Lannister's gaze, he was very close to them. The young Leo immediately took advantage of the situation, having decided to plant "firewood".
- And when will you finally get married, my dear cousin? - Jenna Titos spoke loudly, smirking sarcastically.
While the discouraged young man was choosing the right words, Shirey was not lost when she heard the inappropriate question and answered the question with a question:
- What about you, Titos? The most beautiful, the most enviable, the richest groom in all six kingdoms, and not only in them. - The young lady gave a short glance at Catelyn standing next to her. - When will we all be at your wedding?
Not that the Young Lion didn't know what to say, but this remark somewhat dislodged him. Shireya Baratheon did not say anything that could somehow offend the young man, rather, on the contrary, the young lady of Stormy Edge praised Titos, and also publicly - it could not please, but the young man was extremely dissatisfied, because he never managed to mumble over his cousin.
At that moment, everyone was distracted by the large crowd of new guests who had entered the Throne Room.
Titos, who considered himself to be the most suitable candidate for the throne, immediately went to welcome the newly arrived Lords.
- And where is your brother? Won't he be there? - asked Shireya Ned Arryn a question.
- Edrick? In a brothel, where else would he be? - The girl smirked. - Nothing, she'll be here soon.
Such a response from the Northern Prince almost caused a laughing storm, but the young man politely held back. He and Jenn looked at each other again. But Kat's eyes were rounded, either out of surprise or outrage, to the point where they looked like coins.
The throne room was gradually filled with people from all corners of Westeros. Soon the whole company moved to the benches, looking for vacant seats. The New King's election was about to begin.
