8 End of tourney

"Prince Daemon Targaryen chooses Ser Gwayne Hightower of Oldtown, eldest son of the Hand of the King."

Soon the contenders were ready and the joust began. It went on for two rounds ultimately the prince won by hitting the horse which throw the hightower knight to fall down along with the horse on him.

The crowd gasped and soon the gaps turned into laughter and cheers.

'Crazy people' I mutted under breath.

Soon daemon choose Cristen cole

"Ser Criston Cole will now tilt against Ser Daemon Targaryen, Prince of the City!"

The joust soon turned into meele when the dragon prince was unhorsed.

"Prince Daemon Targaryen wishes to continue in a contest of arms!"

After a intense fight Ser cristen was able to knock down Prince Daemon and shouted- "Yield!!"

To which Daemon just chuckled and let go of the sword he was holding.

"Ser cristen won the bout."

"Is there anyone among the finalists who wish to challenge Ser Criston"

The reveler asked.

'If not for the mission I would have left this pointless match. The king had already left when Daemon deteated the hightower knight in a hurry.'

"I, Aethan Valaryon challenge Ser Cristen cole to a match for championship" I shouted.

"The final bout for two strong contenders. Please cheer for them."

I rode my horse towards the gallery and came to Princess Rhaenyra.

"I was hoping to ask for the Princess's favor as promised." I said with a smile. Gods she is beautiful. The TV show didn't do justice.

"I wish you luck, Ser Aethan" She said while smiling with a blush and gave me the favour.

After we took our positions, the horses ran towards each other from one end to another while we were holding the lances. I used bit of my strength as I don't want to drag this any further. Also I am quite eager to get my mission rewards.

I slid the lance in the gap that was presented during Ser Cristen's thursting motion and hit him right on the abdomen. This sent Ser Cristen to fly away from the horse and slid on the ground. Even though Ser criston's lance managed to hit my shoulder I didn't even budge as the force was not enough to hurn my enhanced durability.

Ser cristen didn't choose to continue to do the meele as he already know the outcome. So, I was finally declared the winner.

I wanted to initially present the 'Queen of Love and Beauty' to Rhaenyra but she seems to leave in a hurry when Alicent spoke something in her ears.

'Is Queen Aemma giving birth now?' I thought

Ultimately decided to present the 'Queen of Love and Beauty' to my dear Mother.

"It would be my honor to name you Queen of Love and Beauty, mother." I said.

"And it is mine as well my Son." She said as she accepted it.

"Now I declare the champion of the Jousts, Ser Aethan Valaryon." I gave a short bow to every one with a smile and rushed to my tent as I heard the notification.

[Congratulations on succeeding the mission, My Lord.]

[The rewards are placed in the Inventory]

With this notification I smiled with relief.
