[X] [Defiant] [Romantic] Extend your hand to Alicent. "Will the lady grant me the honour to join me on a ride?"
This was one of the bigger tourney's, but not the last, IIRC.The vote seems pretty simple to me - there will be plenty of opportunities to be romantic, but if we don't take our knighthood now, when will we?
This reminds me, we agreed I could gloat if we won and you could complain if we lost.While I like the idea of going on a ride with our girlfriend, becoming a Knight is one of our ambitions. Plus the look on Unwin Peake face when he finds out how beat is too hilarious not to do so.
[X] [Defiant] [To Become A Knight] Face Lord Manderly and reveal yourself to the crowd as Rhaenyra Targaryen.
However stressed you were waiting for these updates, you cannot imagine the amount of stress I felt rolling for the Rhaenyra vs Cole fight.
Perhaps. But if Manderly does do it, and the matter gets pushed all the way to the crown to check for validity, which way do you expect him to go?Manderly can't actually knight us. Even if he tried, only Viserys has the authority to make it stick.
I thought the idea was to accomplish such knightly feats that he would have to allow it?[X] [Defiant] [Romantic] Extend your hand to Alicent. "Will the lady grant me the honour to join me on a ride?"

Which is why I would rather wait for Highgarden when we can have a second victory under our belt.I thought the idea was to accomplish such knightly feats that he would have to allow it?

I mean, "beginning a knightly romance" is literally an achievement for us, so even purely mechanically I don't think it is absent reason. This is peak knightly romance.This really doesn't feel like a choice. Like, is there any reason to turn down knighthood? We have plenty of private time and plenty of public opportunities for subtle and not-so-subtle affection with Allicent, and we have nothing to prove because she already accepts and reciprocates our feelings. There's basically zero incentive to do anything except the thing we literally joined this tournament to do in the first place!
Second in the Melee, first in the Joust of a tourney so big it's being called the Great Northern Tourney, if we keep dueling skilled warriors like we did Harwin Strong, then that will also gain us extra renown if we feel insecure about our chances of Viserys knighting us.I thought the idea was to accomplish such knightly feats that he would have to allow it?
