Chapter 237 Seizing the Son(1/2)
"No...stop..." Seeing Gao Yuan holding a flaming sword pounce on the crowd again and start killing, Sir Vardis Egan's desperate voice echoed in the hall, even overshadowing the raging intrusion from the moon door.
The strong winds. The guards of the Eagle's Nest City rushed towards Gao Yuan one after another, trying to rescue their companions from the slaughtering demon, but their flesh and blood bodies could not even hinder Gao Yuan's steps.
When the screams gradually subsided, the halls of the Eagle's Nest City were already littered with corpses. Only a few guards who had dropped their weapons were still standing. Like Sir Vardis, their eyes were dull.
He looked at the Shura field in front of him.
The blood of the guards flowed into the gaps in the bluestone floor under the Eagle's Nest City hall. The scarlet liquid gathered here to form a river, just like the river water that irrigated the field ridges seeped into the soil. They seeped into every brick below.
Among the stones.
Sir Vardis felt as if he was having a nightmare. He really didn't want to believe that the lifeless corpses lying on the ground were his brothers from the Eagle's Nest City Guards who lived with him day and night. They were still alive and kicking just a few minutes ago.
How could it...how could it suddenly...turn into a motionless corpse lying on the ground?
He originally thought that he could easily take down Gao Yuan and others with their numerical advantage, but the reality gave him a hard mouth.
Gao Yuan, who was holding the Blade of the Evening Star, was still standing in the middle of the pile of corpses unharmed, while the guards of the Eagle's Nest City he relied on were annihilated. Although the dragon scale armor on Gao Yuan's body was now stained with
It was full of blood and looked very embarrassed, but everyone knew that the blood came from the guards of the Eagle's Nest City lying on the ground.
Gao Yuan's appearance at this moment can indeed be called a embarrassment. Not only was his dragon scale armor stained with blood, but even the brown elf cloak behind him that was originally fluttering in the strong wind was stained by the blood of the guards.
It turned dark red and stuck to the armor on his back.
Countless sticky and scarlet blood drops slipped from his hair and cheeks. Since he did not use his mind power to block the splashing scarlet liquid, Gao Yuan looked like a demon who had just crawled out of the sea of blood from the mountain of corpses.
.
He turned his head and looked at the high platform, and saw the arrogant Lady Lysa holding her sweet son and looking at him in horror. Little Duke Robert, who had been pampered since childhood, had never seen this before.
Waiting for the horrific scene, he shrank into his mother's arms and began to twitch after screaming.
Little Duke Robert, who had been frail and sick since he was a child, was obviously having an epileptic seizure at this moment. His eyes began to roll up, and he opened his mouth and kept letting out frightened screams. The sick boy lay in Lady Lysa's arms and repeatedly
The ground scratched in the void with trembling hands, scratching out several bloody marks on his mother's chest and cheeks.
Mrs. Lesa, who loved her son so much, ignored the pain and hugged the boy tightly. The boy tried to stand up, but was held tightly by his mother, so he subconsciously kicked his legs and kicked Lesa hard.
Mrs. Sha's belly was almost breathless.
Lady Lysa hugged her son tightly and fell off the weirwood throne. The two of them huddled together and rolled over on the high platform, and even almost fell off the high platform. Fortunately, she had been taking care of little Duke Robert.
Bachelor Ke Meng was at the side. He quickly knelt in front of the two men and pulled them back from the edge of the high platform.
With the joint efforts of the two, they were able to restrain little Duke Robert from having an epileptic seizure. Bachelor Colmont kept murmuring comforting words in his ear, but this didn't seem to have any effect.
B. Aylin's body was still twitching continuously at this moment, a large amount of blood flowed from his nose, and a large amount of foam came out of his mouth.
"Bring him back to his room quickly, feed him some flower milk, and bleed him with leeches," screamed Lady Lysa.
Two Eyrie City guards wearing sky blue cloaks and silver chainmail rushed forward. These two were the few guards who dropped their weapons. They took them from the hands of Lady Lysa and Maester Cormon.
Robert Arryn, still twitching, quickly left the hall of the Eyrie.
"Oh, for God's sake! I really hope this child is okay." Bronze Yohn looked worriedly as the guards hugged Robert Arryn and left. "If he dies tonight, people outside will probably say that it was us who killed him.
That boy died."
Gao Yuan turned his head and looked at Bronze Yoen with some depression. The expression on his face seemed to say, this has nothing to do with me. I just glanced at the child. Who would have known that he would start twitching without being frightened. If not
He knew that Robert Arryn was born with epilepsy, and he would definitely think that the mother and son were trying to gain pity from Gao Yuan.
This sudden episode finally ended. After Gao Yuan took out a handkerchief and wiped the dirt off his face, he looked up again and looked at Sir Vardis Egan who was not far away from him.
"Sir Vardis, stop making unnecessary resistance!" Gao Yuan's voice was slow and unyielding, "Put down the weapons in your hands, and I can let you and your brothers put on black clothes and go to the Great Wall to join the vigil.
Human Legion, where you can still retain your last bit of honor."
"What do you plan to do with Lady Lysa and her child?" Ser Vardis swallowed nervously.
"That's not what you should care about. You have no right to refuse! Put on black clothes and join the Night's Watch, or die without honor in the Eyrie City. I will crown you and those who died in the Eyrie City
The guards are accused of treason." Gao Yuan scolded.
"If you insist on harming the orphans and widows left by Lord Jon Arryn, you must first step over the body of me, Vardis Egan." Sir Vardis said in a very firm tone.
He raised the stainless steel sword in his hand and said, "After I die, I will not be able to control the flood. You can accuse me of whatever crime you want."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gao Yuan sighed heavily, and in the end he did not have the heart to kill Sir Vardis directly. He also did not want people to catch him and say that he was holding the emperor's order to order.
princes.
"Ever since I landed in the Eyrie, or from the moment I stepped into the canyon, I have been telling everyone in the canyon, including Lady Lysa Arryn."
"I accepted King Robert's appointment and came to the Arryn Valley this time not to usurp the position and title of the Arryn family." Gao Yuan explained, "I have never held the position of Guardian of the East and the false title of Duke of the Eagle's Nest.
I don’t care, it’s you and Lady Lysa who have been maliciously speculating on my true intentions.”
"I have long made a vow to the old and new gods. When Duke Robert Arryn grows up, I will leave the Arryn Valley and return these positions in my body to him and the Arryn family." Gao Yuan asked in return,
"In this case, what motive do I have to harm the mother and son left behind by Lord Jon Arryn? Am I not breaking the promise I made?"
"What I'm asking is, what are you going to do with Lady Lysa and her son?" Sir Vardis emphasized again, "Now that you and Lady Lysa have broken things off, you can't always tolerate Lady Lysa and her son.
Lord Robert Arryn remains at the Eyrie."
"I believe you will not harm this mother and son, but this does not mean that you will not expel them from the Eyrie, or even expel them from the Arryn Valley. A lonely widow and a frail boy, they lost
Without the protection of the Arryn family and the valley, they will die outside very quickly..."
"Enough! I've heard enough of your malicious speculations about me tonight." Gao Yuan roared. Although he had never thought about how to arrange Lady Lysa and the others before, he would never do what Sir Vardis said.
As despicable as you say, "Even if I am really as despicable as you say, please don't forget which family Lady Lysa comes from. She can also choose to return to her natal city of Riverrun and believe in Hoster Tully of Riverrun."
The Duke will not let his daughter wander."
"Lord Jon Arryn is revered in the valley, and Lord Robert Arryn is his only heir. Even if I am unwilling to accept him in the Eyrie, I believe that the lords of the valley will be happy to do so.
Take him back to his castle and adopt Lord Robert Arryn as his adopted son."
"There is no need for you, a little guard captain, to worry about the safety of Mrs. Lysa and her son. If I wanted to harm them, I could have rushed up and killed them just now. You know I have the strength.
, no one present can stop me." Gao Yuan's anger has not subsided, "But after that, the canyon lords will come to me for trouble, because I have made a promise to them, and I don't want any trouble to come.
I."
"Let me tell you what will happen next! If you dare to say one more nonsense that insults my honor, I will personally cut off your head and hang it on the flagpole of the Blood Gate. Let everyone in and out
Everyone in the valley must spit on your dirty head before they are allowed to enter the Blood Gate." Gao Yuan threatened Sir Vardis.
"If Lady Lysa Tully wants to leave, the canyon lords and I will never stop her, but she must leave Lord Robert behind." Lord Yohn Royce suddenly stood up and announced loudly,
"I will take him to Runestone City and make him a Knight of the Rift that will make Lord Jon Arryn proud."
"You can't even think of taking my precious son away from me. You damn bandits have already taken away the hereditary position of the Arryn family, and now you want to take away my precious Robert. It's simply a wishful thinking."
Mrs. Lysa, who had always remained silent, became anxious when she heard that someone was going to take away her son!
No one can take Robert Arryn away from her. You must know that she experienced five miscarriages before giving birth to him. She has lost too much in her empty life. Taking away her first love
His first love, Tipper Baelish; his first husband, Jon Arryn; and the five children who died before they were born.
Now that they had to give away their only son, how could she not be in a hurry?
"It's not up to you, Lady Lysa!" Bronze Yohn frowned, "I know how painful it is to take a child away from his mother, but look at what you have taught Lord Robert like? He still has
Not yet weaned, his body is so thin that he is far inferior to other children of the same age and cannot even lift a wooden sword."
Countess Waywood sighed and said: "In my opinion, Runestone City is indeed a good choice. Lord John has now trained three brave knights. They are all good boys with a sense of honor. No one can compare with him."
More suitable to teach and raise young Lord Robert."
"Maester Henwig, the maester of Runestone City, is older than Maester Cormon of the Eyrie, and has more experience in medical skills and caring for people. He is very suitable for recuperating Lord Robert's body; the strong Sam Stone there is
The best instructor in the world can teach this child the ways of war; Count Yohn Royce is also a lord who has experienced hundreds of battles, and he can teach the little duchy how to govern; Brother Lucos there is devoted to the Seven Gods
Belief."
"In addition, there are many children of the same age as the young Duke in Runestone City, who are more suitable for Duke Robert's company than the guards and old maids in Eagle's Nest City."
"During this period, I will also lead Duke Robert Arryn to visit each family's castle in turn." Bronze Yohn said with a smile, "This will allow him to get closer to his vassals and get to know himself in advance.
The territory you rule is really the best of both worlds..."
"Shut up, all of you!" Lady Lysa yelled angrily, "I will not leave the Eagle's Nest City. This is my husband's castle, no matter who is the so-called new guardian of the canyon or the Duke of the Eagle's Nest City.
Something like that...and you bullshit lords have no right to drive us away!"
"You are not qualified to take my precious Robert away from me.... My son can only stay with me."
Bronze Yohn looked up at Lysa Tully, "Mrs. Lysa, you have the right to choose whether to leave the Eagle's Nest City. The new guardian of the canyon has allowed you to leave freely."
"But the Duke must stay. He is not only your son, Lady Lysa!" Bronze Yohn emphasized, "He is also the son of Jon Arryn and the sole heir of the Arryn family. He can only belong to
Valley.”
"If you miss your child, we allow you to go back to the valley to visit him, but we will never allow you to take him away."
"Eyrie City, like Runestone City, is within the territory of the valley. Do you insist on taking him to Runestone City?" Lysa Tully's mood was about to collapse. She prayed to the canyon lords,
"I neither ask to leave the Eyrie, nor will I leave the Vale. I only ask that you don't take away my child, and let me stay with Robert and take care of him. Everything else is up to you."
"Whether I follow you to Runestone City, or whether you, Lord Yohn, teach him, or whether you recruit other bachelors, instructors, monks...I promise you all, I just ask you to let me
