From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 4 Lannister's own family tradition is here
As a distant relative of the queen, and the queen is a figure who can be written into poetry when she went to the battlefield and won the battle at the age of 15.Naturally, Lan En's father became a fan of the queen. Not only did he try his best to join the queen's bodyguard and fight with her, but he also pursued the other party's title of the same style.

Ha, the queen is a "lioness", you want to be a "lion", what do you think?Even if Her Majesty the Queen has the final say in this country, don't you still think too little of the King?
Lan En's father has been pursuing the title of "Lion" until he was almost 30 years old, and finally was forced by other elders to marry him, and Lan En was born.Even after marriage, they can respect each other as guests, and they can be regarded as kind to Lan En.

The Lannister knight finally blocked an arrow for the queen in a foreign war, and killed the enemy with one enemy and three, led the queen to break out of the siege, and died of exhaustion.After the victory in the war, it was also written into poems by the bards as "the guard of the lion" and "the knight as brave as a lion", which can be regarded as fulfilling his wish.

The Lion Rider died defending his Queen.

Her Majesty later made Lannister hereditary Earl, allowing his family to set up their own family in his name.

As a "lion brain fan", Lannister had already prepared things such as the lion coat of arms without other people knowing, which were originally only for his own collection.It turned out that it was just right, the family emblem and everything were available, and Lannister became a veritable "Lion Family".

What is embarrassing is that Lane's mother, Countess Lannister, has true love for her husband.

When he was young, Lannister was brave and good at fighting, and handsome. In his private life, he was also clean for well-known reasons. He has always been the dream lover of a girl in Cintra.

Mrs. Lannister, who has been listening to the legend of Lannister knights, has always regarded being able to marry the lover of her dreams as the greatest luck in her life. She also died of depression shortly after her husband died, leaving her son Lann alone.

Lan En also suffered a serious illness because of this, which almost wiped out the newborn "Lion Family", and finally took advantage of the souls from the earth.

"You will definitely be better than the master." The old butler looked at the handsome boy in the mirror, and felt mixed feelings for a moment. Many years ago, he also personally put on a handsome boy in a Chinese dress and conferred the title of nobleman.

"You will definitely be better than the master." The old butler emphasized again, "Master and Madam both firmly believe in this."

Lan En stepped forward and gently hugged the old man, but he waved his hand and pressed him down.The housekeeper began to arrange his clothes and hair that had been tidied up by Hardy again.

The gate of the castle hall was opened, and the two sides of the wall were spaciously and neatly filled with banquet tables, which were already full of people.

Seeing Lan's arrival, the noisy crowd suddenly lowered their tone.The acquainted nobles and Lann greeted Lan En politely; the friendly knights embraced Lan En enthusiastically; he.

The queen and king sat on the two end thrones, with extraordinarily sumptuous dishes in front of them.The runner-up of the martial arts contest stood aside in armor, and when he saw Lan En's smiling face, he returned a big white eye.

He was the queen's bodyguard, and he might not be able to eat during the whole banquet, so he would have to stand all the time.

Of course, as the protagonist, Lan may not be able to enjoy the banquet much.

Next to the Queen is a smaller throne of the same style. A little gray-haired girl sat on it and turned her head and eyeballs restlessly. When she saw Lann coming, she was about to stand up excitedly to say hello. The nanny behind her pushed her down.

Lann saluted the queen and the king under the steps of the throne, and the nobles below also fell silent when they saw this, knowing that the main show was about to begin.

Queen Calanthe stood up with a smile, holding a wine glass in her left hand and beckoning to the nobles seated:
"Everyone, the one standing below is the son of Lannister, my nephew, the champion of this martial arts competition, I believe you all know it!"

"Lan!" Someone cheered from the audience.

Lane nodded politely around, smiling modestly and politely.

"Originally, I planned to canonize the champion of this martial arts competition as a knight and give him the honor of joining my bodyguard." Calanthe said with a smile, "but it is obviously inappropriate now."

The knight nobles below laughed in unison.

"So, I decided to give Lann an extra piece of territory!" Calanthe said loudly, causing bursts of exclamations, "At the same time, I also completed a thing that should have been completed a long time ago-officially canonizing my nephew to inherit my brother's land. Earlhood, Lannister II!"

There were deafening cheers and applause in the banquet hall.Queen Calanthe walked down the steps slowly, and Lan stepped back and knelt on one knee, holding out her sword.

The Queen drew her sword and tapped Lane on the shoulder solemnly.The gray-haired girl stared intently at the blond-haired young man, no one cared that she stood up involuntarily, even the attention of the nuns behind her was attracted by the blond-haired young man.

The two people in the canonization ceremony were the only focus of the audience.Two rows of ceremony officials came out from the side, presenting the earl's cloak and other ritual utensils on plates covered with red velvet.

"Lannister!"

At the end of the solemn ceremony, I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and the banquet hall burst into cheers again.

"Lan! Lane!" the gray-haired girl jumped and shouted excitedly.

Queen Calanthe opened her arms for silence, and lifted Lann to one side.Facing almost all the civil and military officers of Sintra gathered at the scene, she said loudly:

"In addition to my nephew's canonization ceremony, I have another news to announce today."

"In recent years, the Nilfgaardians have been harassing us constantly. Although we have driven them away forcefully time and time again, they are like fleas on wild boars and can't finish them!"

"Yes!" The unknown general below shouted out of righteous indignation after drinking too much, "But we are not afraid of the Nilfgaardians, let alone war!"

"Yes, yes." Queen Calanthe nodded, signaling to the general's family to take care of him, "But now, we don't have to worry about the Nilfgaardians anymore, because we have found a new ally - Kingdom of Verdon .”

"My granddaughter Ciri has reached the age where she can choose a husband. I have decided to betroth her to Verdon's Prince Christine. As a bride price, Verdon will give us a considerable army, and Verdon will follow us from now on. Even more inseparable!"

The banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing who started it, but enthusiastic cheers broke out after a while.

The queen nodded with satisfaction, and slowly sat back on the throne to enjoy the wine.

The gray-haired Ciri was dumbfounded in her little seat, and was pushed back to her seat by Mammy before all eyes gathered.

While drinking and drinking, Lan heard someone muttering in a low voice: "Isn't Verdon our vassal, why should our princess get married?"
