"You're awake!" Linde, who was playing with Glory, heard movement from the bed and turned his head.
Seeing that Daenerys, who had been unconscious for two days, had opened her eyes and was looking around blankly, he said, "Don't move around.
Your wounds haven't fully healed yet, and moving around will cause them to reopen."
Daenerys didn't react after hearing this; she just turned her head and stared blankly at the tent ceiling, her eyes full of lifelessness, as if Linde had only saved a body, and her soul had already died.
It was no wonder Daenerys reacted this way.
After Linde brought her back to the camp and settled her in his tent, he found Scholar Holly, who also served as the camp's accompanying doctor, to treat her.
After Scholar Holly's examination, he found that Daenerys's injuries were too severe.
Not only did she have many broken bones, but there were also internal injuries that couldn't be checked, especially her private parts, which were so ravaged that it was a miracle she was still breathing.
Although Scholar Holly had tried his best to use all his medical skills to save Daenerys, he still couldn't guarantee that she would survive.
In his words, everything could only be prayed for to the Holy Mother, hoping her mercy would fall upon Daenerys.
Linde didn't say anything about this.
In his opinion, bringing Daenerys to the camp and treating her was already enough.
If Daenerys still didn't survive, then it could only be said that it was her fate.
While Scholar Holly was treating Daenerys, Linde also took the opportunity to check Glory's body.
Although Glory had absorbed the chill from the cracked Dragon Egg, he didn't find any abnormalities on Glory.
The only thing that could be considered abnormal was that Glory's appetite had increased; he ate almost his body weight in meat at each meal and ate four meals a day.
This was only Glory's appetite as a cub.
When Glory grew up, his appetite would likely be even greater, and Linde's current salary probably wouldn't be enough to cover it.
Therefore, training Glory to hunt for himself was put on the agenda.
Fortunately, his cavalry team was entirely composed of hunters, and catching one or two live prey in the surrounding forest was not difficult.
These two days, Linde would try to let Glory hunt the captured live animals when he was hungry, training his hunting ability.
Glory was a Shadow Lynx after all, and even though he was adopted by Linde, his hunting ability remained as well-preserved as his wildness.
The martial arts tournament was held as scheduled on the second day of the Red Keep banquet.
Because the number of participants was too large, the duration had to be extended accordingly.
The archery competition, which was originally supposed to be completed in one day, was extended to two days.
After a morning of competition, only fifty-six people remained in the archery competition, and it was believed that the champion archer would be determined in the afternoon.
Now, all the casinos in King's Landing had started accepting bets, and some nobles had also set up gambling games.
The largest of all these gambling games was the one set up by Hand of the King Jon Arryn in the name of the Iron Throne.
Although King Robert didn't care about money, as the kingdom's steward, Duke Arryn had to find ways to fill the financial hole caused by the martial arts tournament.
The easiest way to get money in the short term was naturally to set up gambling games and be the dealer.
Perhaps the income obtained through gambling would not completely fill that hole, but at least it would not make this year's finances look so bad.
Because he was responsible for camp security, Linde had not left the camp to watch the martial arts tournament these past two days.
In addition, he also couldn't resist and placed a bet with his other colleagues, and his betting target was a Dornishman named Gaian.
In his memory, during the martial arts tournament held in King's Landing more than ten years later to welcome Eddard Stark as Prime Minister, an archer named Gaian became the archery champion.
Although he didn't think there was any connection between the current Gaian and the Gaian of more than ten years later, he still chose this Gaian as his betting target, merely wanting to try his luck.
However, it was clear that he didn't get lucky.
The Gaian he chose was eliminated in the first round of the afternoon competition.
After several more rounds of competition, the archery champion of this martial arts tournament ultimately fell to a middle-aged man named Brin-He Wen.
It was said that he had a very good relationship with Lord Brynden Tully, the master archer of the Riverlands, and their archery skills were comparable.
Although the archery competition had ended, the public's enthusiasm did not diminish much, because tomorrow there would be an even more exciting team martial arts competition.
Historically, team martial arts competitions have always been the most casualty-heavy, with blood and barbarism as the main theme, and thus the best to watch.
Therefore, bets on how many people would die in the team martial arts competition had already appeared early on.
House Tyrell also sent their best archers to participate in this archery competition, but for some unknown reason, perhaps due to poor performance, House Tyrell's archers were completely wiped out in the first round.
This was naturally not a happy thing.
Mace Tyrell's grim expression had not changed since he led Garlan back to the camp.
This was also the first time Linde had seen the Warden of the South, Duke of Highgarden.
Although he had guessed beforehand, upon seeing this middle-aged man with a barrel-like physique and carefully trimmed beard, Linde did not feel much disappointment.
If he had to use one word to describe His Grace the Duke, the only word he could think of was mediocrity.
Although mediocre, this did not mean that Duke Mace Tyrell was incompetent.
In fact, he was more outstanding than most noble lords.
However, compared to other great lords of similar status, he appeared so mediocre, and coupled with his frequent impulsive decisions that went against common sense, he often seemed very ordinary.
But if anyone truly regarded Mace Tyrell as someone easily manipulated, they would ultimately suffer greatly.
