Darry City is a very simple castle, so simple that if it were not for the King's Road, which is only half a day's ride away, no guests would normally visit here. The Darryga family has a very low presence among the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, and it is only a half-day ride away from here.

The Ruby Beach not far from the castle is the real reason why this land can be remembered.

During the War of the Reavers, the rebel army led by Robert had a fierce battle here with Rhaegar Targaryen's troops. It was also during this battle that King Robert used a heavy blow to

The hammer smashed into Prince Rhaegar's chest, and ruby ​​fragments from his breastplate were scattered in the shallows, hence the name Ruby Ford.

As one of the pro-royalists who carried the true dragon banner of Prince Rhaegar in the Battle of the Trident and fought for the King of Targaryen in the Trident and the Targaryen dynasty, although the Darry family has now surrendered to the king, no matter whether it is as a

Neither Ser Raymond, who is now the head of House Darry, nor Robert, who has become king, have forgotten that Ser Raymond's three brothers all died in that battle.

The uninvited guests like Robert and others came to the castle uninvited, which already made Sir Raymond, the city lord, quite unhappy. However, these were within the range that Sir Raymond could tolerate, because they did not

Without occupying the magpie's nest, he entered the inner castle in the center of the city.

After the conflict on the banks of the Trident River, in order to facilitate the search for the missing Arya and the butcher boy on the banks of the Trident River, the king's team, the men of the Lannister family and the Stark family all swarmed into this place.

In the small castle of Darry, the king temporarily commandeered Ser Raymond's drawing room to handle official business, and the men of the Lannister family and the Stark family almost used weapons in the city, which made the already angry

Sir Raymond, who was suffering from fever, was on the verge of breaking out.

Under such a complicated situation, one can imagine how tense the atmosphere in the castle is. At this moment, lights are brightly everywhere in Darry City, and the soldiers of the Lannister family have almost completely taken over the guards in the city. They hurried back on their war horses.

Eddard looked gloomily at the Lannister family guard wearing golden lion armor at the city gate.

Ed walked straight into the city, having no time to pay attention to the guards who were trying to stop him. Behind him, Qiao Li and other northern soldiers held swords in their hands to block the guards for Ed. Everyone focused on

People were whispering to Ed who rushed straight into the city.

It is already known that the Lannister family sent out a large number of troops to snatch the little wolf girl from the northern soldiers of the Stark family. They were all discussing how the new Prime Minister would react.

What actions will be taken to respond to the provocation of the Lannister family?

By the time Ed burst into the stuffy living room angrily, it was already overcrowded. Almost nobility Ed could name, or faces he had never seen before, were all crowded into the hall.

middle.

Seeing this scene, Ed's anger became even more intense.

If Robert or the queen had not summoned so many people here at this time, he could still rely on his relationship with Robert to resolve the matter calmly in private. Even if the Kingslayer brought the Lannister family before

Soldiers, pretending to be King Robert's order, surrounded his daughter and his men.

But now that Robert and the others have called so many people here, do they want to put their daughter on trial publicly?

The first thing Eddard saw after squeezing through the crowded crowd was the king sitting on a high throne at the end of the long hall. Robert looked at his arrival with a solemn expression. Queen Cersei Lannister and Prince Joffrey

Standing next to him, the boy's arm was still wrapped in a thick silk bandage.

The majestic Gao Yuan stood in the center of the hall surrounded by people, holding a sword in one hand. Arya, who was hiding timidly behind Gao Yuan, clutched his cloak and robe tightly, and everyone present was focused on it.

on both of them.

"Arya!"

Ed shouted his daughter's name loudly, his voice echoing in the quiet and small hall. He walked towards Arya with heavy steps, his boots clanking on the bluestone on the ground.

Arya couldn't help but scream when she saw her father's appearance, and then she cried bitterly and threw herself into Eddard's warm arms. It wasn't until she saw Arya throwing herself into Eddard's arms that Gao Yuan stood as tall as a green pine tree.

Put the Evening Star Blade in your hand into your waist.

Ed knelt on one knee in front of Arya and hugged his daughter tightly. He felt Arya trembling all over in his arms.

"I'm sorry..." Even though she was still sobbing, Arya kept apologizing to her father, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry!"

"I see..."

Ed's eyes were filled with tears, and he gently picked up the skinny little girl in his arms. She was too thin. It's hard for you to imagine how a nine-year-old girl was alone in a deserted wild forest.

She was detained for two days and two nights. How much trouble could such a fragile little girl cause?

"Arya! Are you injured? Are you hungry?" Ed asked with concern.

Arya's face was covered with mud, but there were traces of being wiped by someone. It was obvious that Gao Yuan had wiped it for her when he found her in the forest. Tears slid down her dusty and delicate face, leaving traces of it.

There are two clear tear marks on the bottom.

"No injuries." Arya choked and said, "Ser Goyuan fed me some bread and dried meat, and also gave me water to drink."

Ed stood up with Arya in his arms and looked gratefully at Gao Yuan standing in front of him: "Sir Gao Yuan, thank you for everything you have done for my daughter!"

"You will always be a friend of the Stark family and the people of the North. If you need any help from us, please feel free to ask and I will do my best to help you."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Lord Stark, I have nothing to ask for." Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "Recovering Miss Arya for you is just out of my own will.

To my compassion."

"No one wants to see a cute little girl like Miss Arya living alone in the wilderness." Gao Yuan looked at Arya who was lying on Ed's shoulder and said, "No matter what Arya commits,

No matter what mistake she made, she is just a child."

"Besides, she already knows she was wrong now, doesn't she?"

"Sir Gao Yuan, it was your compassion that saved my daughter. As a father, I should express my gratitude to you." Ed's gratitude to Gao Yuan at this moment is beyond words. If it weren't for the hug in his arms,

Following Arya's words, he could even kneel on one knee in front of Gao Yuan to express his gratitude to him, "Although the way I express my gratitude to you will make your noble behavior seem a bit utilitarian, please believe me, this is

The best way I can think of right now."

"Sir Gao Yuan, no matter what difficulties you face in the future, please don't forget that you still have the Stark family as your friends and strong backing. All members of the Stark family will be able to do their best to help you.

It’s an honor, please don’t be polite.”

"Okay." Gao Yuan agreed helplessly.

Gao Yuan believed that if he didn't accept Ed's gratitude, I'm afraid the Duke of Winterfell would continue to pester him endlessly.

Seeing that Gao Yuan finally accepted his gratitude and friendship with the Stark family, Ed finally felt relieved. If Gao Yuan had been unwilling to accept his gratitude, he would probably always feel sorry in his heart.

Just after Ed expressed his gratitude to Gao Yuan, the guard captain Qiao Li also squeezed through the crowd and came to Gao Yuan. He first expressed his gratitude to him and promised that the sword in his hand would always fight for Gao Yuan. Immediately afterwards

Jory turned to Eddard again and reported: He had pulled the Stark family soldiers in the city outside the city and had all assembled.

At first, when Jory took the remaining soldiers of the Stark family and prepared to leave Darry City, the soldiers of the Lannister family blocked them. However, under Jory's tough attitude and more than a hundred northern soldiers,

After working together internally and externally, the guarding soldiers finally opened the door and allowed them to leave.

After learning from Jory that his troops had been assembled, Eddard, who was in a very heavy mood, gently handed Arya in his arms into the hands of his butler, Weyon Poole.

He turned around and looked at the king sitting on the high throne, and asked: "What do you mean?"

"Why didn't you send someone to notify me after you found my daughter?"

Ed looked around the entire reception hall, hoping to find a friendly face to him. However, except for the subordinates he brought with him and Gao Yuan, there were only a few people who dared to stand up and support him, and no one even gave eye support.

one.

Sir Raymond Darry is the owner of this castle, but at this time he is just looking at Ed and others in the center of the reception hall with a blank expression. It is obvious that he does not seem to be involved in this troublesome matter. Besides, he

He was originally unhappy with Ed and the others who came uninvited with the king. Now he was standing in this reception hall, but he was filled with endless anger.

Lord Renly Baratheon always had a cynical smile on his face. He looked at this incident with a joking attitude, as if it was a farce or a good joke prepared by the jesters for him.

No one knows what the king's youngest brother is thinking about. His thoughts are always so wild and unconstrained.

Old Ser Barristan looked heavy. This was probably not the first time he had seen such a farce. I believe he must have seen more than this when he was guarding the Mad King and Prince Rhaegar as the Kingsguard.

More absurd farce.

Jaime Lannister stood behind his sister and nephew, still looking frivolous. He noticed that Eddard was looking at him, and he did not forget to challenge him with his eyes. Eddard looked at Regicide.

With his handsome face and provocative expression, he wanted to devour the other person alive and tear him apart.

As for the remaining people, Eddard thinks they are all Lannister people. It can be seen from their hostile eyes that they are not just here to watch a good show this time;

To cheer for their wealthy master.

Edburn was questioning Robert, but Cersei Lannister was the first to speak and scolded: "How presumptuous! How dare you use such a tone to question the king!"

Cersei's sharp scolding made King Robert frown, and he angrily yelled at the queen: "You bitch, don't you think you've caused me enough trouble? Now shut your stinking mouth."

King Robert sat up straight and explained to Eddard apologetically: "Ned, I'm sorry!"

"I didn't mean to scare her, I just wanted to bring her here first. It would be better to understand this matter as early as possible."

"That thing you are referring to?" Ed's voice was as cold as the frost in the north.

"Should I appoint the Kingslayer to lead soldiers to surround my people, and then forcibly take Arya away from their hands? Or, without notifying me at all, would I summon the ministers to kill my daughter in public?"

Hold a trial?”

Cersei took Joffrey's uninjured left hand and took a step forward, then pointed to his right arm that was still wrapped in thick bandages in front of everyone: "Stark! I think you should do what the king pointed out.

It is very clear that your wild girl and that pig-killing brat teamed up to attack my precious son, the future heir to the throne. Her damn wild wolf almost bit off his arm."

"That's not the case." Arya, who was lying in the arms of housekeeper Weyon Poole, suddenly became excited when she heard the queen confuse right and wrong and slandered her. "It was obvious that he bullied Mikay first, and Nymeria just gently

The ground bit him, and he was pointing a sword at me."

"Joffrey has told us everything that happened." Cersei's ability to lie is top-notch. She doesn't feel guilty or guilty at all for her confusion. "You and the butcher's apprentice are beating him with a stick.

head, while letting the wild wolf bite him."

"That's not what happened... You are lying!" Arya felt extremely aggrieved when faced with the Queen's accusation, and her tears began to flow down uncontrollably, "You're a liar!"
