Chapter 149 - 149. the melee (2/2)

Ryan wiped off his dagger on the mountains pants and put it away. rule 2 of combat kids never play with your enemies or underestimate them always go for the kill right away with everything you have.

Playing with your enemies and bragging mid combat is something idiots do we don't do That or face teachers wrath later on.

The crowd was stunned into silence then erupted into cheers.

That boy is something! He just won me more money and took down the Mountain! HAHA!” Robert shouted as he clapped as loud as he could.

House Tyrell will definitely like to have the boy as our sword!” Mace shouted as he clapped.

”Anyone who can take down the Mountain is a fine warrior.” Loras said.

”Yes. A fine warrior and man.” Margaery said as she looked at Ryan with interest.

”That boy has done our house a great service. We will repay that honor however he can.” Prince Doran said as he clapped.

”Yes. Justice has been dealt.” Oberyn said as he saw his daughters clap as well. He looked at their faces and could tell that they had a sense of interest for the boy.

”It seems as though this boy has made a name for himself. We may see more of him after all.” Barristan said with a smile as he clapped.

”Indeed. If the King's behavior is any indicator.” Jaime said as they saw how happy Robert was.

”Come here boy I'd like to reward you for making me so much money today and even showing such a great fight it really was thrilling!” Robert shouted and Ryan walked over.

Robert took his sword and placed it on Ryan's shoulder. ”In the name of the Warrior I charge you to be brave. In the name of the Father I charge you to be just. In the name of the Mother I charge you to defend the young and innocent. In the name of the Maid I charge you to protect all women. I, Robert of the House Baratheon, First of his Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, do hereby grant you knighthood. Rise, Ser Ryan.” Any man who managed to defeat the Mountain more than earned a knighthood. Some of the lords smiled, as they believed that it was well deserved.

”Well Ser Ryan what are your plans now?” the king asked.

”Pretty much for now I think I'm going to buy a nice place with all the money I earned and maybe travel a bit. Before coming back and helping out the kingdom with some of my ideas.” he gave a wink at the girls who were staring at him and laughed. ”That sounds like at fine idea you make speak to some of my people about housing to purchase here in kings landing and I know the dreams of most boys are to travel and see the world I was like that too now I'm stuck upon my throne.” everyone looked rather pleased except the lannisters whose knight I just killed. the princes from Dorne looked especially pleased the mountain had killed their sister and niece during the end of the war and they were always out for his and lannisters blood.
