Chapter 487: Promise
For Lysa, in fact, Li Lingyi didn't care at all, that woman was also called a "poisonous woman", killed her husband with her own hands, and cooperated with Little Finger to write secret letters, provoking the relationship between Lannister and Stark.
It can be regarded as indirectly killing Eddard and ruining the Stark family. And this is just for his own selfish desires, but he doesn't care about his sister's feelings and life.
It's okay if you don't kill her, Li Ling thought to himself.
As for the rhetoric at this time, it is naturally polite, if it is facing Robb, Li Lingyi is too lazy to say this, but Catherine will definitely understand this set of speaking rules.
Sure enough, Catherine smiled kindly and shook her head gently, "I understand that there is something wrong with Lysa in this matter, and she also let Eagle's Nest City declare war on you first." ”
"She's been deceived by the Iron Throne too. Li Lingyi said, his tone deepened slightly, "To be honest, I hope Madame can persuade Madame Lysa well, if she keeps watching her like this, then the civilians in our territory will also be scared, which is really not a good thing." ”
Catherine narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and what she said was quite thorough, indicating Li Lingyi's attitude.
There are only three families that have clearly stated that they are at war with the Flagless family, the Lannisters, the Roses, and the other is the Arryns.
Needless to say, the first two are quite an eyesore, after all, its position of influence is not far from Twin River City, and it can attack at any time.
Although it is not afraid, it is undoubtedly a very eye-catching obstacle, and even if you form an alliance with the Stark family, you must solve this potential hidden danger. And if Catherine doesn't persuade her, then Li Lingyi plans to solve it in her own way.
He looked serious, not joking at all. If he can take down the Eagle's Nest City, which is known as a natural danger, he can naturally take it down twice.
“…… I know, I'll talk to her later. Catherine saw Li Lingyi's tough attitude, and then said, "I think we'd better get to the point." ”
Li Ling nodded, and looked at Arya, who had been standing behind Catherine, who hadn't said a word since she entered the door.
"Aya. Li Lingyi said softly, "Do you know about this?"
Since both parties are here for this matter, Arya must know, but Li Lingyi still wants to ask clearly.
At this time, Arya didn't know what to say when she heard this, the flush on her white face was lined with a flaxen-colored fine wool dress, how she wished that Ivy would ask her swordsmanship questions, so that she would be able to answer them all without hesitation.
After a while, Arya opened her thin lips, seemed to have mustered up courage, looked at Li Lingyi fixedly, and said seriously: "Teacher Ivey, I am willing to marry you." ”
“……”
Li Ling didn't know what to say when he heard this, but fortunately, Arya didn't give him a chance to reply, and ran out of the room after speaking, leaving only him and Catherine.
"Arya, this kid doesn't lie about that. At this time, Catherine said, with a smile in her eyes, "This child does not value people's appearance, but more character." When the handsome Joffrey came, she immediately expressed her disgust. ”
Speaking of which, Catherine seems to be thinking of her eldest daughter, Sansa, who is clearly fascinated by Joffrey's handsome appearance compared to Arya, and as a result, she is now trapped in King's Landing.
Closing her eyes to dispel this sorrow, Catherine continued: "Therefore, this child Aya must have seen your noble and upright character clearly in the process of getting along with you, so he is willing to marry you. ”
What do you say......
Li Lingyi was a little embarrassed, but he also knew that Arya might really like herself, but she was still young after all, and she might not understand the difference between liking and love.
Maybe it's because he taught her swordsmanship and saved her, so he worships and trusts her, but this is different from love. The love will pass over time, but the love will grow deeper.
So Li Lingyi will not easily really fall in love with Arya, even if he really has this kind of feeling, he has to wait until the little girl is an adult.
So he also made it very clear to Catherine.
"Actually, I like Aya a lot, too. Li Lingyi smiled and said, "She has inherited the wolf nature of the Stark family, brave, upright, and tenacious...... These qualities are not even available to most adults. ”
"Then ...... talk about it," Catherine looked at Li Lingyi expectantly, and the latter nodded, "Well, I'd like to, but... Madam, Aya and I can only be engaged. ”
Catherine frowned slightly when she heard this, pursed her lips and thought for a moment, and wondered, "Is there any difference?"
"Of course. Li Lingyi sighed and looked at the door, "Aya is still young after all, only fourteen years old. Maybe I haven't made the difference between liking and loving yet, so when she's an adult, I'll let her choose again. ”
"If she has someone she loves by then, then the marriage will end. But the relationship between our two families will not change, how about it?"
As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, a grateful look suddenly appeared on Catherine's face, she knew that this was for the sake of her daughter, after all, she had also thought about this issue before, worried that Arya just liked Ivey, not love.
But for the sake of the family, there is nothing to be done. But she didn't expect Li Lingyi to take the initiative to bring this up, which really surprised her.
"Thank you very much for your understanding. Catherine was overjoyed, got up and said, "I also agree to this proposal, and I hope that our two families can always cultivate the same friendship and deal with our enemies together." Let... Joffrey accompanies Ed to the funeral as soon as possible. ”
Catherine's eyes flashed with a fierce light as she spoke, and Li Ling couldn't help but sigh when she saw this, sure enough, Catherine was the most vengeful person in the Stark family, no wonder she would be Mrs. Stoneheart in the original book.
At this time, she also noticed her tense and smiled apologetically.
And now that the marriage has been decided, the next step is to start the discussion of the formal issue, Li Lingyi doesn't believe that Catherine just came so far to Twin Rivers City just to finalize the marriage.
Sure enough, Catherine immediately began to bring up military issues.
"I don't know how Patriarch Ivy intended, for the Iron Throne and the Lannisters. ”
"It's simple. Li Lingyi said calmly: "I will take King's Landing, as for the Lannisters, if they are obsessed, then there is no need for this family to exist." ”
“……”
The corners of Catherine's mouth couldn't help twitching twice when she heard this, if she can say such a thing with confidence, I'm afraid that there will only be this young man in front of her in the entire continent.
There is no need for the largest and richest family on the mainland to exist? This is not something that can be said casually. Moreover, in Catherine's opinion, the current Flagless Family is not strong enough to do that.
