The night in the Arryn Valley was particularly peaceful. The bright moonlight shone from the sky onto the entire valley, turning this beautiful land into silvery white. Catelyn Stark placed her hands on the ornate windowsill and stared at

With the cold moonlight gradually overflowing.

The crescent moon crawled across the golden fields and dense forests, and she was afraid that dawn would appear before her eyes soon, and then the last darkness before dawn would strike.

Looking towards the Eyrie from the top of the tallest tower of the Gates of the Moon, the ghostly waterfall rushes out of the mountain ridge, just like the Milky Way in the sky tumbling down from the top of the Giant's Spear, and the surging water on Alessa's Tears

The white mist reflects the silvery moonlight.

It is said that Alessa Aelin watched her husband, brothers and children being brutally murdered before her eyes, but never shed a tear. So the gods decreed that she would shed tears after her death, until the tears left behind filled her eyes.

To the black fields of the canyon plains, for those she loved were buried there.

The legendary Alessa has been dead for six thousand years, but not a drop of river water has flowed to the black field. She may also be cursed by the gods after her death, because when she just

When he learned that Lasha was about to go on trial, he felt no sadness at all.

This made Caitlin start to wonder how big a waterfall her tears would turn into after she died.

"Is there really no room for redemption in this matter?" Caitlin murmured to herself while looking at the moonscape outside the window. She didn't know who she was talking to at the moment, maybe Gao Yuan,

Or maybe it's the gods in heaven.

"I believe Madam, you should have the answer in your heart by now." Gao Yuan came to the window with the wine glass in his hand. He imitated Caitlin and nestled on the window sill, "The person who was killed by your sister was not someone else but her.

My husband, you must also know, madam, how much the lords of the Vale respect Jon Arryn, and each of them is willing to lay down his life for Jon Arryn."

"Now that the murderer of their lord is standing in front of them, the lords in the canyon can agree to let Lady Laisha accept the judgment of the gods. This is the greatest tolerance for her."

"And the crimes she committed are unforgivable no matter where they are. Parricide is a taboo for people in the Seven Kingdoms. People despise and curse those who kill members of their own family." Gao Yuan took the cup.

He drank all the wine in one gulp, "Both the lords and the common people were convinced that the act of inflicting a butcher's knife on their relatives would be cursed by the gods."

"Those who harm their loved ones have never had a good ending since ancient times, and no one has ever escaped the punishment of the gods unharmed after committing such a crime. Laisha must bear responsibility for the crimes she committed." Gao Yuan said again.

He sat back in his seat.

Caitlin also looked away. No matter how charming the night view in the canyon was, it was still difficult to calm her mood at the moment. Caitlin had never thought before that her sister would one day commit such a crime that would be outraged by both humans and gods.

.

During the days she stayed at the Gates of the Moon, Caitlin had heard rumors about Lysa, but she always believed that those were just the prejudices of the people in the castle against her sister. Until today, she found out that Lysa was about to

After receiving the news of the trial, she suddenly realized that all this was true.

Who would have thought that the shy girl in Riverrun in the past would turn into such a vicious woman. She is no longer the same person she was when she left Riverrun with her husband. Lysa is now known to the servants in the castle.

, has turned into a shrew who is sometimes arrogant, sometimes fearful, has an unstable personality, is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and likes to laugh at others.

The worst thing is that she also cares about human life. According to the bastard girl of the valley who took her to the Eyrie, since Lysha returned to the Eyrie from King's Landing with her precious son, there has been at least one

The steward, three maids and ten prisoners were thrown out of the Eyrie's Moon Gate in the name of Robert Arryn.

"What if someone makes a mistake?" Caitlin came to Gao Yuan with a tight face, "I mean... is it possible that Lai Sha was framed by someone? Didn't you just say little finger?

Is he a liar who tells lies? Maybe he is deliberately framing my sister."

"Mrs. Caitlin, are you questioning the fairness of the trial?" Gao Yuan raised his head and looked at the other party and frowned, "As a juror assisting His Majesty Robert in the trial of Petyr Baelish, I am here.

I can tell you responsibly: the trial was held under the witness of the gods, and it was definitely a fair and just trial!"

"The personal and material evidence used to accuse Lysa and Littlefinger are conclusive, and they were all collected by your husband, Lord Stark, and I. The final result of the trial was also reached through consultation between us and His Majesty Robert."

"If you still have doubts about this, I suggest that you go to a sergeant named Hugh, who was once a squire with Jon Arryn." Gao Yuan told Caitlin, "Sir Hugh is here.

He was a key witness in that trial, and now he is in this castle. Perhaps you can learn from him the causes and consequences of the entire incident."

"I didn't mean that...Lord Gao Yuan!" Caitlin quickly defended herself, "Please forgive me for the offense...I didn't know that you and my husband were jurors in that trial...

..I’m just worried that Laisha will be framed.”

"Speaking of your husband, I'm afraid I have some unfortunate news to tell you!" Gao Yuan did not continue to pursue Mrs. Catelyn's offense to him just now, but changed the subject and talked to her about Ed Stark.

things.

Anyway, Caitlin will know about this matter sooner or later. After all, paper can't cover the fire. As a witness of the attack, Gao Yuan wondered whether he had any reason to deliberately hide it from the other party. Instead of waiting for Caitlin to question him later, Gao Yuan

It's better to tell the truth about Ed Stark's current situation now.

This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading! "What happened to Ned in King's Landing?" Lady Catelyn slammed her hands on the table, leaned over and asked him, "Is it the couple from the Lannister family?

What did my siblings do to my husband?"

"It's the regicide!" Gao Yuan answered truthfully. "He was resentful because of your kidnapping of dwarves in the Riverlands, madam, so he led people to attack your husband in King's Landing in broad daylight, and also tried to kill your husband.

He kidnapped your little daughter from his side."

"What? You said Arya was kidnapped by the Kingslayer?" Lady Catelyn screamed in disarray. When she first heard the news that Arya had been kidnapped by the Kingslayer, Catelyn was so anxious that she ran around the room.

stand up.

"Madam, you don't need to be too nervous, the regicide did not succeed!" Gao Yuan explained to Caitlin calmly, "I happened to meet the regicide when he was preparing to take Arya to escape from the city...

...In order to save your little daughter from the Kingslayer, we fought a fierce battle in the streets with the Lannisters."

"Fortunately, we managed to rescue your little daughter safely from the hands of the Kingslayer. Arya was just a little frightened."

"Thank you for your timely help, Lord Gao Yuan!" In great sadness and joy, Caitlin rushed forward in excitement, spread her arms around Gao Yuan and kissed him repeatedly on both sides of the cheek, "Gods bless you.

...It’s really a blessing from the gods...The gods have blessed Arya to be fine...I really don’t know how to thank you...Lord Gao Yuan...Thank you so much.”

After releasing Gao Yuan's neck, Mrs. Caitlin sat on the chair again and began to cover her face and cry bitterly, and kept muttering in her mouth: If she had known that King's Landing was so dangerous, she should not have agreed to let Ned take his two daughters.

Go to King's Landing....I shouldn't have persuaded Ned to go to King's Landing to serve as Lord Chancellor...

After Mrs. Caitlin calmed down and calmed down again, Gao Yuan, who was extremely embarrassed, spoke again and told Mrs. Caitlin the whole incident.

But when Caitlin asked him about her husband's current situation, Gao Yuan could only tell him helplessly: when she left King's Landing by boat, her husband Ed was still lying in a coma in the study of the Prime Minister's Tower.

Wake up. However, according to the bachelor, his husband's physical condition is now fine, but he still needs to recuperate for a period of time. He believes that he will wake up from the coma soon.

"Originally, I planned to escort the regicide to the king to await execution... But who would have thought that just when I took Arya back to the Prime Minister's Tower to visit the seriously injured Lord Eddard, the queen's people came and surrounded me.

people and snatched the regicide from their hands.”

"When I learned about this, the regicide had already been let go by the queen. I once argued hard in front of the king, hoping that the king would allow me to take people to capture the regicide and face punishment, but

But the king acted like he wanted to calm things down..."

Afterwards, Gao Yuan did not continue. He only said that because of the fierce battle with the Kingslayer in King's Landing, he had to take Bronze Yohn and others to return to the valley by boat in advance, while Queen Cersei was still there.

Before using this matter to attack them.

As for the Kingslayer, there has been no news since he was let go by Queen Cersei. He must have disguised himself and fled along the Golden Road back to Casterly Rock, his father's territory.

"Speaking of the Kingslayer..." Sir Nestor, who had been silent until now, suddenly reported to him. "Lord Gao Yuan, I have received a piece of news about the Kingslayer."

Gao Yuan turned his head to look at Sir Nestor in confusion: "Oh... Sir Nestor, what news did you receive?"

"The caravan returning from the West reported to me that the Kingslayer is currently gathering an army in Casterly Rock." Sir Nestor took out a note from his arms and handed it to Gao Yuan, then he turned his head and looked at Caitlin,

Then he continued, "Mrs. Stark's brother, Lord Edmure Tully, had previously sent people to Casterly Rock to ask Duke Tywin to express his intention to gather troops at the border of the Riverlands, but so far he has not been able to do so.

No one from the Lannister family responded."

"Lord Edmure is currently summoning the vassals of the Tully family in the Riverlands. It is said that he plans to send Lords Vance and Piper to take the lead in leading troops to guard the pass under the Golden Tooth City. Edmure is also looking out.

We publicly stated that we will never give up every inch of the Tully family's land, and if the Lannisters come to invade, we will water it with their blood."

Lady Catelyn seemed a little worried when she heard the news. She had doubts about Edmure's appeal in front of all the vassals. If her father, Lord Hoster, did not stand up at this moment, how many vassals would respond to Edmure's appeal?

Where is Mu's call? His father has often been ill since his mother's death. He has been bedridden for many years and has not appeared in front of his vassal for a long time.

"Edmure summoned all of my father's vassals and swore an oath." Catelyn seemed a little worried. She didn't want to hear any more bad news tonight, "But he is not the one now after all.

Duke of Riverrun, Lord Nestor, is there any news from my father?"

"Mrs. Stark, I'm sorry! Our people did not report to me any news about Lord Hoster." Ser Nestor twirled his beard.

"Had my father not been seriously ill, he would never have entrusted the defense of Riverrun to Edmure." Caitlin felt even more frightened at this moment, "Sir Nestor, please send someone to the Riverlands to inquire about the news.

By the way, please help me find out some news about my father."

"But...Mrs. Stark, doing this may cause Lord Edmure to misunderstand...and..." Sir Nestor seemed a little embarrassed at this moment.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After all, the Riverlands and Riverrun are the territory of the Tully family. At this extremely sensitive moment, if you send people there to inquire about information, you will definitely

It will cause a misunderstanding among Edmure, which may lead to the hostility of the Tully family and the princes of the Riverlands.

"Sir Nestor, please don't forget that before Mrs. Stark married Lord Stark, she was Catelyn of the Tully family." Gao Yuan reminded, "You don't have to worry about this causing misunderstandings with the Tully family.

, since Mrs. Stark has asked you to find out information about Duke Hoster for her, then just follow her instructions."

"As you command, my lord!"

"Lord Gao Yuan, I have another piece of news that I need to report to you!" Sir Nestor said while turning his head to look at Lady Caitlin and Mia Shidong. Obviously, he thought that he had to report something next.

, shouldn’t be heard by these two people.

"Mrs. Caitlin, you must be very tired tonight. You'd better go back to your room and rest early!" Gao Yuan, who understood, immediately began to see off the guests. He turned to look at Mia Shidong, "And Miss Mia.

You too, thank you for your hard work tonight!"

"Your service is no longer needed here. After you send Mrs. Caitlin back to her room to rest, you should go back to her room early to rest. It's really troublesome for you to take two adults (madams) to and from the Eagle's Nest tonight.

Between the Gates of the Moon and the Gates of the Moon."

"Sir Gao Yuan, thank you for the news you brought me tonight." Caitlin said goodbye to Gao Yuan very wisely, "Sir, please rest early, then I will take my leave!"

Mia Shidong also left the room very wisely: "Sir, you are too polite. I will send Mrs. Stark back to her room right now."

When the door was closed again by Sir Ronan outside, Gao Yuan turned to look at Sir Nestor again: "Tell me, Sir Nestor! What is it that makes you have to be so secretive?"

"Your Majesty, this is about the caravans we sent out to buy food. They were constantly attacked by mysterious teams in the West and the Riverlands!" Sir Nestor replied seriously.

Many caravans that have gone out of the valley recently have been attacked by a mysterious team. That team seems to be deliberately targeting the caravans in the valley, even though the people in the caravan are not doing business under the banner of the valley.

These things gave Sir Nestor a headache. The caravans were attacked by bandits during their trade. This was originally a very common occurrence in the Seven Kingdoms. After all, not all trade routes are as safe as the King's Road.

But this time it was different. Judging from Nestor Royce's experience as the general manager of Erin Valley for many years, this matter was probably not as simple as an ordinary bandit attack. Therefore, he planned to report the matter to Gao Yuan, hoping that
