After Vada, holding her valyrian steel sword, stood firm, she casually twirled the dawn sword a few times, getting used to it.
As the dawn sword spun, the bright silver light of its blade flowed like stars, captivating the soul.
"A valyrian steel sword! What a good sword!"
The excited Earl Anda Lie nearly leaped from his seat; he recognized the dawn sword's extraordinary nature at a glance, and his eyes couldn't help but burn with fervor.
He mused to himself, "It seems the Targaryen Family has truly mastered the forging method for Valyrian steel.
I'm afraid His Majesty the King's summons for everyone to King's Landing this time isn't so simple!"
"Bring me my sword!"
Looking at the valiant Vada, Andarel's gaze grew even more ardent.
Before long, a small giant, about two and a half meters tall, walked in carrying a two-meter-long greatsword.
Andarel took the greatsword from the small giant's hand and effortlessly performed a few flourishes.
The Amber Family, due to their tall stature, all prefer to use greatswords.
Combined with their physical advantage, they are like human tanks on the battlefield, extremely fierce.
Andarel, holding a two-meter greatsword, didn't appear clumsy at all; instead, he exuded quite an aura.
And from the few simple moves he just performed, it was clear that Andarel must have put a lot of effort into his swordsmanship.
Facing the powerful Andarel, Vada showed no fear; instead, she felt a surge of excitement.
"Ha~"
Vada let out a delicate shout and, holding her dawn sword, launched the first attack.
Her movements were agile and swift, and she instantly closed in on Andarel.
Andarel, however, smiled slightly and casually swung his greatsword, blocking Vada's attack.
"Clang~"
The dawn sword struck Andarel's greatsword, sending sparks flying and leaving a deep scratch on it.
However, Vada's hand also felt a bit numb from the impact.
Vada couldn't help but be startled, thinking to herself, "This big oaf actually has some skill!"
But she quickly adjusted her stance, changing her footwork, and once again thrust her sword towards Andarel's side.
Andarel stepped back slightly, tilted his body, and swept his greatsword across, once again precisely blocking Vada's attack.
Another fierce collision, and Vada, using the rebound force, executed a beautiful spin and thrust towards Andarel's other side.
Her movements were fluid and seamless, like flowing clouds and water, astonishing everyone watching.
Perhaps out of chivalry, or perhaps Andarel truly fell in love with Vada at first sight, he remained in a passive defensive position, never actively attacking.
But this also showed that Andarel's swordsmanship was truly good.
After a series of strong attacks, Vada felt her physical strength being severely depleted.
However, Andarel on the other side consistently appeared to be at ease.
So she changed her strategy.
No longer solely relying on strong attacks, she shifted between light and heavy, real and feigned, and her moves became increasingly agile, like a swimming dragon.
Vada tried to get close to Andarel, to fight him in close quarters, so his greatsword wouldn't be able to utilize its advantage.
Although Andarel found her swordplay somewhat elusive for a moment, he appeared clumsy and rough, yet like his father, he was a man of subtle detail beneath the roughness.
He wielded his greatsword to protect his vital points, not giving Vada a chance to get close.
Vada deliberately feigned a weakness, and during another clash of their swords, she seemed to lose her balance and nearly fell.
This made Andarel, whose attention was entirely on Vada, tense up, and a flaw appeared in his movements.
Vada seized the opportunity, and the dawn sword thrust fiercely towards Andarel's left arm.
Andarel couldn't dodge in time, and his left arm was cut, drawing gasps from the crowd.
Andarel, however, burst into laughter, "As expected of the woman Andarel fancies, smart and ruthless enough!"
With that, he directly wielded his greatsword, switching from defense to offense, and his attacks suddenly intensified, his greatsword whistling through the air as it struck Vada.
Vada gritted her teeth and parried, but each collision intensified the soreness in her arm.
Vada quickly distanced herself from Andarel, cleverly avoiding his attacks.
She moved agilely, continuing to search for Andarel's weaknesses.
Thus, the two fought for almost half an hour, both severely depleted of stamina.
Although Andarel was brave, he was only fourteen years old, and wielding a greatsword was quite physically demanding.
So, his movements also had to slow down.
While the battle on the field was exciting, Daenerys's attention was now entirely drawn to the small giant standing nearby.
"Earl Anda Lie, who is that small giant?"
"Oh, that's Big Pierre.
He's a child I found in the Wolfswood while out hunting.
You see how exaggeratedly large he is, yet he's only a little over sixteen years old this year.
However, he has a huge appetite; he can eat a large basin of vegetable cakes and fruit pies by himself in one meal."
"Sometimes, when he's extremely hungry, he can eat more than half a roasted lamb by himself.
Although his mind is a bit simple, his strength is truly immense, and he handles almost all the heavy labor in the castle."
"If Princess Daenerys is interested in him, I will give him to you; it would be his honor."
Daenerys, however, shook her head and politely refused, "He grew up here since childhood, and I'm sure he has deep feelings for you all.
How could I bear to take him away?"
Earl Anda Lie had wanted to build a good relationship with Princess Daenerys, and since the Princess was interested in Big Pierre, he immediately said generously, "Oh!
Forget about a servant; if Princess Daenerys finds them suitable, it would be even better if you took all my good-for-nothing sons!
This would also be an opportunity for our Amber Family to express our loyalty to the royal family, wouldn't it?"
Saying that, Anda Lie pointed to his youngest daughter, Anatara, and said, "Among these children, only this youngest daughter is relatively clever.
If she could serve as a personal maid by Princess Daenerys's side, she could also learn the superficial rules of the great Southern nobles, saving us from constantly being mocked for being crude Northerners."
"Hahaha, Earl, you are quite generous.
Are you really not afraid that I'll take your advice and take all your children?"
Daenerys had originally intended to forge a connection with the Amber Family, so she was naturally willing to accept Earl Anda Lie's kind offer.
Moreover, just by looking at their physiques, his children were excellent material for personal guards and maids; isn't power the ultimate equalizer?!
Just as Daenerys and the other were still probing each other, Vada on the field had already seized the opportunity, raised her dawn sword, and unleashed her full-power strike, cutting Andarel's greatsword in half.
Stripped of his weapon, Andarel instantly fell into a passive state.
Vada showed no mercy; she charged at Andarel, holding her sword in one hand and punching with the other, engaging him in hand-to-hand combat.
Facing Vada's sharp sword, Andarel naturally had no choice but to dodge.
With the dawn sword as a deterrent, Andarel naturally fought with some apprehension.
Thus, Vada's punches rained down on Andarel, each punch filled with power and landing squarely.
Andarel initially had the leisure to joke a few times, as if the punches landing on him were still enjoyable.
However, later he also found himself struggling to parry, as Vada's strength was not small, and it was still very painful.
A few moments later, the bruised and battered Andarel tried to resist, but facing the gleaming dawn sword, he was truly willing but unable.
Vada's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and finally, the already bruised and swollen Andarel gradually became unable to resist.
Ultimately, he was helplessly knocked to the ground, and he had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.
