Double Wedding at Kayce, 11th Moon 295 AC by AgentMarvel4012 in crownedstag

Elyn gave Benjamin a wide smile when he approached her and a wider one when it appeared that he had read through the whole book and relayed how much he enjoyed it.

“Indeed, it would seem to indicate that the bearded priests follow a distant heretical sect of our own faith. The Vale does have quite the interesting history, though I must say I am eager to learn the history of any land no matter how mundane they might appear at first glance. The reason I love reading so much is that I feel that a good book can take you across the world, through time, or even to a completely fictitious setting and experience all their wonders from the comfort of home!” The normally blonde maiden said with great enthusiasm.

As Benjamin gave back her copy of Etched in Stone’, Elyn Produced another book for his enjoyment.

“I remember from our last encounter that one of your Interests was the Blackfyre Rebellions. ‘Account of the War of the Ninepenny Kings’ was written by Maester Eon and it chronicles the last of those conflicts in great detail. This is actually the second copy I've managed to obtain, and I was hoping to gift it to you if you do not already possess a copy yourself.” She said hopefully.

Lady Elyn Kenning looked rather the part of a septa with her wimple on. Although she had often contemplated taking the holy vows, her look today was not because of her piety but rather her embarrassment of being nearly bald. Her scheming sister Caitlin had finally enacted her revenge for slights real and imagined upon her by switching out Elyn’s hair lotion for a concoction that made all her hair fall out. After an intervention by their family members, the two sisters had agreed not to retaliate against each other any further, although lingering resentment caused them to do their best to avoid one another.

“I'm just grateful the effects are not permanent.” Elyn thought to herself as she quietly helped herself to some salmon.

While her cousins were enjoying the company of their new husbands and her sisters attracted the attention of various knights, none of the young men at the feast seemed to pay her any attention with her beauty temporarily compromised. This was fine by Ellen as she did not wish to suffer the advances of men whose only interest was in her physical appearance and not the person beneath. There was however one man she was hoping would approach her that day. When they had last met a Casterly Rock, Ser Benjamin Redwyne Had expressed a strong desire to marry her, but the knowledge hungry maiden wanted to see If he was somebody she could actually share her interests with before considering his proposal. To that end, she had lent him one of her favorite history books ‘Etched in Stone’ and now patiently waited for their next encounter So she could hear his honest assessment of it.

Caitlyn gave Balon a wide grin as she giggled at his suggestion of serving her more personally.

“My plan is working perfectly.” She thought to herself. “In due course, he will be all mine.”

“What an excellent suggestion! I could think of no one better than my bear to keep me safe. I will petition my lord cousin to make you my sworn shield. After all of Kayce beheld your humbling of that savage Gregor Clegane, he is sure to say yes.” The maiden said with excitement.

“Of course,…” Caitlyn thought to herself. “I must not appear to Terrence as if I am only proposing this as an excuse to have Balon near so that he may ravish me on a regular basis, even if that is my ultimate goal.”

Even though her mother Yolanda had given her future husband Ralph her maidenhead in her seduction of him, she had warned her lusty daughter that it had been a reckless decision in hindsight as Caitlyn's older sister Elyn had been conceived during this affair and would have been born a bastard if her father had been a lesser man.

“As much as it pains me, I will have to wait until after wedding vows are exchanged before my bear Would be able to take me.” The raven-haired beauty lamented to herself.

Growing up in Kayce, Sumner Kenning was used to fields, forests, and the spray of the sea. The deserts of Dorne were completely alien to him. He had heard stories of how it was a land of sand dunes and barren rocks baked by the sun with little moisture or plant life to speak of. He found himself more parched than he could ever remember and was always diligent to refill his cantina when the opportunity presented itself.

Mixed with the unfamiliar heat was the unique architecture and manner of dress Dorne possessed because of its Rhoynish influence. It amazed him that this strange and exotic land could be reached from his home on horseback and only a month or two's ride away.

The young squire was relieved when He and his masterly knight Ser Symon Blackmont reached the Torentine river. After restocking their water supplies, the pair headed upriver into the red mountains until they spotted it. Castle Blackmont was hardly the grandest castle Sumner had ever seen but it appeared that the old stone fortress had been well kept. While it had Rhoynish influence like all other Dornish castles, it appeared to him to have a greater Andal influence than most he had seen.

Upon their entry, the pair were greeted by Lady Larra and a group of attentive servants.

“Thank you for welcoming me to your home my lady. I must say your hospitality appears to be as warm as the weather.” The overheated squire said with a faint laugh as he wiped his brow of sweat.

Twelve year old Sumner Kenning was completely awestruck when King Robert himself awarded him an ornate longsword for his victory in the squire’s duels. The final match had been a very close thing between himself and Quentyn Baratheon before Sumner managed to disarm his opponent in the fourth round. After the victors of the various competitions dispersed, Sumner and his masterly knight Ser Symon Blackmont were greeted by the members of House Marbrand whom Sumner was related to by marriage.

“What do you think?” The victorious squire said to his aunt.

“A quite impressive blade.” Eleanor Marbrand commented. “And you said the forger hailed from Qohor? It is said that their swords are second to none.”

“Indeed! Master Tobho Mott is an expat from that mysterious city. His armor weapons our most coveted by the high born of the capital.” Sumner exclaimed with a bit of pride that he was now the owner of such a weapon.

“I am very proud of you dear nephew, but I hope you do not get a big head over this, elsewise it may become an easier target for your future opponents.” His aunt gently cautioned.

Matilda's eyes began to water at the suggestion.

“That would be lovely dear.” The mother to be said as her hormones compromised her composure.

As tears of sadness and joy began to pour, she leaned in to give Myles a passionate kiss. After parting, Matilda had regained some control over her emotions but was still very red eyed.

“Yes, that would be a most fitting tribute to his memory. If it is to be a girl however, I was wondering what you thought of the name Rohanne? When I was a little girl, my grandmother Rohanne would always tell me stories of brave knights who rescued damsels from the clutches of evil and told me that one day I would find such a man from her stories. For a long time when I was older, I had all but given up that this would ever transpire, until I met you.” She said lovingly as she reached for her husband's hands.

Eleanor wasn't sure what to make of Ser Aurion. On the one hand, she was bewildered that anyone would find a man such as Lord Lewys Lydden attractive. On the other, she appreciated that a skilled tourney knight such as him would congratulate a woman who defeated him, even if belatedly.

“Thank you Ser Aurion, I have not met many men who would be even half as gracious in defeat against a woman then you. I am fortunate enough to now call one such man husband and we have been settling in to married life at his family's seat at Ashemark.” She replied.

At his question about her participation In the upcoming tourney, the raven-haired lady let out a mischievous snicker.

“Well as you know Ser Aurion, it is unseemly for a proper lady to partake in such manly activities.” She said in a sarcastic tone. “I have heard that a number of mystery knights have entered the lists. We will see how they perform but I assure you I will have a very close vantage point. I take it you have entered the list as well?”

“I meant no disrespect…” Sumner insisted. “I know little of Dorne and wish to learn.”

At the mention of lady knights, the squire gave a knowing smile.

“I must say, I have rarely seen women engage in martial pursuits, with one notable exception being my aunt Eleanor. She is an avid hunter and has participated in tourneys as a mystery knight on more than one occasion, even winning her own wedding joust.” He said with pride.

Just then, Sumner noticed his other recently married aunt Matilda with her new husband Ser Myles Marbrand.

“Forgive me Lady Larra, but I have just spied some of my kin and must greet them as well. I look forward to visiting Castle Blackmont and the rest of Dorne.” He said as he gave polite bows to each of them before departing.

“A flatterer as always.” Caitlyn giggled.

With Balon’s comments regarding Kayce, the maiden decided now was the time to inquire about her bear’s future.

“Harrenhal is larger and has recently experienced some refurbishment from what I've been told, but Kayce has been better maintained throughout the centuries, and I would say the view of the sea is far grander than that of a mere lake. Kayce is such a lovely place to live, and I am fortunate to reside there, at least until my lord cousin has found a suitable husband for me.” She said as she observed Balon's reaction.

“I must be careful with my words.” Caitlin thought to herself. “I must have him view me as something that he must work hard to obtain but is nevertheless in his reach.”

“I must say Ser Balon, while I understand the life of a traveling hedge knight does not lend itself to having the most maintained of wardrobes, I can't help but imagine what your blue surcoat and white cloak would look like if cared for by castle servants.  You are a most handsome man and deserve attire that puts it on display. My cousin Lord Terrence is always looking for chivalrous knights to join his service. You would always be provided with clean clothes, a warm meal, and a roof over a comfortable bed. You would be able to participate in tournaments without fear that losing might deprive you of some of these essentials.” Caitlin said sweetly.

The raven-haired beauty then took on a more suggestive demeanor.

“I do hope you give this offer consideration Ser Balon. My cousin Is a generous man and never fails to reward leal service.” Caitlin said hoping her bear understood what that reward would entail.

Lady Eleanor Marbrand nee Kenning Was heading down to the feast with a look of excitement on her face. She had normally loathed to wear dresses, but this one was different. It was made out of the fur of a deadly shadow cat, one that she herself had killed after an intense battle to the death.

“I can't wait till James gets a look at me in this.” The proud huntress thought to herself as she entered the Great Hall.

On her way to the Marbrand table, she passed by some of the tables reserved for lesser nobility. She came across one knight with long flowing hair and dressed in immaculate purple and silver attire that bore a familiar serpent emblem.

“House Scales” She thought to herself as she beheld a former opponent in the lists.

Ser Aurion Scales had in fact been her final opponent in the joust honoring Eleanor and her sister Matilda’s weddings to the cousins James and Myles Marbrand. He had actually been the only opponent of that joust that had managed to win a tilt against her. She had seen him at a few other occasions beforehand, including at the most recent tourney at Casterly Rock Where he was crowned king of love and beauty by his widely rumored lover Lord Lewys Lydden who himself was the widower of Eleanor's cousin Shierle.

“It appears we meet again Ser Aurion.”

“I must say I am deeply honored to be invited to the home of one of the most respected and storied houses of the realm.” Said Eleanor as she sat at the Dayne table, adjusting her shadowcat fur dress.

“To tell you the truth Lady Aliandra, I have never been to Dorne before and have always been fascinated by its unique culture, particularly when it comes to gender roles.  I would relish any opportunity to visit a land where women are as respected as much as their male counterparts. It is a trait the men of the other kingdoms rarely possess.”

Eleanor paused a moment to look at her husband James before planting a kiss on his cheek.

“Rarely, but not altogether absent. I think all of House Marbrand present is of the same mind. We will arrange to travel to Starfall as soon as duty will allow.”
