Chapter 10, Dinner Party
The mother of House Stark in Winterfell, Lady Caitlyn was born into the Tully family and always remembered the family motto: "Family, duty, honor." β
It is said that she is a noble lady, but she is also just a little woman, an ordinary mother.
The second son fell from the tower and was seriously injured, survived the danger of his life, and also left a lifelong crippled future, as a mother who loves her son, how can she be willing to spend the rest of her life like this for the young Bran, so she must seek justice for Bran!
Bran is her son, how could she not understand?
The child grew up in Winterfell, and since he had the strength, he often climbed the city walls, and never had any accidents, but when the royal family came to Winterfell, after receiving a warning letter from his sister Lysa, Bran, who skillfully climbed every wall of the city, stumbled and fell from the tower.
Such an accident, in the woman's keen intuition, Mrs. Caitlyn felt that Bran's stumble was not accidental.
After taking a closer look at Bran's fall and climbing the tower, the attentive Lady Caitlyn found that Bran fell right under the tower window!
Then, she found traces of human activity in the tower, as well as blonde hair with Lannister's obvious features!
Always put family and loved ones first.
Her younger sister Lysa escapes King's Landing and hides in the Eagle's Nest, where she hasn't been back since she got married, and sends a letter from the Night Rider to inform her that her husband, former Prime Minister Jon, has been murdered, and the murderers are the Lannisters, and the Emperor is in danger!
Mrs. Caitlyn trusted her family and loved ones so much that she became extremely wary of the Lannisters when she received her sister's letter.
However, she wasn't wrong about the Lannisters!
Whose son is Prince Joffrey?
Emperor Robert?
No, Joffrey is the son of Queen Cersei Lannister!
He stole the Emperor's dagger and tried to instruct someone to assassinate the seriously injured and unconscious Bran, which must have been driven by the Lannisters!
As for the note that said someone was trying to provoke a war between Stark and the Lannisters?
I didn't take the note sent by Arthur's adventure seriously at all, and I felt that the note meant that there was no silver three hundred taels here.
In the shadows of the sacred trees in the forest.
Caitlin Stark summoned her eldest son, Robb Stark, her adopted son, Theon Greyjoy, Maester Lewyn, and Ronderick, and said in a deep voice, "What I say to you next is only between us. β
"I don't think Bran stumbled and fell off the tower. β
"I think he was thrown down. β
Master Luwen nodded: "This kid has always stepped on his feet very steadily. β
"Someone tried to kill him, twice!" Caitlyn counted Joffrey stealing the Emperor's dagger and failing to start murdering, "Why? Why kill an innocent child?"
"Unless he sees something he shouldn't be seeing. β
Theon asked, "What do you see, ma'am?"
Lady Catelyn: "I don't know, but I'm willing to bet my life that the Lannisters have something to do with it! β
Master Luwen hesitated: "Madam, that note ......"
Lady Caitlin: "I believe in my sister. β
Roderick's face was confused: "What note? Madame's sister is Madame Lysa?"
Mrs. Catelyn shook her head, "My sister sent me a letter reminding me of the danger of the Lannisters, and as for the note, I'm afraid the Lannisters wanted to confuse the public. β
"They came to my house and tried to kill my brother?" said the young and impulsive Robb angrily, "If war is declared......
Theon, who is arrogant and arrogant, hurriedly said, "If it really comes to that point, I will fight side by side with you." β
Master Lu Wen suddenly said solemnly: "What, the flames of war are ignited in the Divine Wood Forest? We don't know the true face yet, and we must discuss the matter with Duke Stark. β
"It's not safe to use a letter crow. Lady Caitlin said.
Robb said, "Then I'll go to King's Landing myself." β
Lady Catelyn said, "No, Winterfell must have someone from the Stark family behind, I'll go." β
"Mother, you can't go. "My brother needs to be taken care of by his mother, and Robb doesn't want her to go south to King's Landing.
Lady Caitlyn said firmly, "I must go." β
Coach Roderick: "I'll have Hal with a team of guards with you." β
"A lot of people is going to attract unwanted attention, and I don't want the Lannisters to know what I'm doing. Lady Caitlyn naively rejected the Sect Head's offer, thinking that with few people she could avoid the attention of those who wanted to do so, and she had no regard for her own safety.
"Then at least let me go with you. "For a solo woman, King's Road is dangerous. β
Maester Lewyn nodded at Lady Caitlin, indicating that she really needed protection.
"What about Bran?" Robb.
Bran was almost certain of the perilous period, and Mrs. Caitlyn was now more worried about her husband and two daughters heading south: "I have been praying to the Seven Gods for more than a month, and Bran is now alive and dead in their hands. β
......
The southbound team entered the city of Dairy.
The knights and soldiers rested, the patrols patrolled, the servants were busy with their affairs, and the idle maids sat together and talked.
Sansa, who was holding the lady, wandered around curiously, accidentally bumped into the scary Sir Illin Pine, met the hound, Sandor Clegane, and then became a nymphomaniac, she met her fiancΓ©, the prince Joffrey, and fantasized about a better future with him for a walk and date.
Although he was an attendant to Duke Eddard Stark, Arthur didn't have to do any chores, only to help the new Prime Minister with some simple paperwork.
The small life is very comfortable, every day is to read, practice swords, and cook food.
Knowing that the little wolf girl Arya Stark would cause trouble on the way south, she has a grudge against Joffrey, and the innocent butcher's apprentice Mikay dies as a result, and Sansa, who sees the prince's fiancΓ© in trouble, is disgusted by Joffrey from then on.
But after taking the risk of sending a note exposing Joffrey's intention to assassinate Bran, Arthur knew very well that he had been hated by Joffrey and Cersei, and he really didn't dare to make trouble anymore because he was worried about his own life.
Besides, he had only watched the TV series of A Song of Ice and Fire, and had not read the original book, so he didn't know when Arya would get into trouble.
Arthur finished the paperwork arranged by Prime Minister Ed today, as usual, and opened a small stove for Anne, but the things were ready, and before he could enjoy them, he entered the city of Dare, and all the knights and soldiers belonging to the Lannister family were dispatched.
As a knight of the royal family, Anne was also ordered to search for an ice wolf that had hurt Prince Joffrey!
You don't have to think about it to know that this is Arya's trouble.
In fact, Arya is not wrong to stop Joffrey from abusing the little brother who kills the pig, the fault is that Joffrey is the prince, and the little brother who kills the pig is just a humble little brother who kills the pig, Arya can pull people away, and should not attack a prince with a stick, especially this prince's mother is Cersei Lannister, who protects the calf.
Arthur wanted to be left alone.
Maybe these seem too selfish, but if you offend Cersei and Joffrey, your own life will not be guaranteed, and if you dare to jump in front of them, I am afraid that you will not survive tonight.
However, knowing this and doing nothing, he was not happy in his heart.
"Lord Eddard. After some hesitation, Arthur finally chose to tell Eddard Stark about the incident, "Your little daughter is in trouble. β
Eddard Stark frowned, "What happened?"
"I heard that your daughter Arya beat His Highness Joffrey and let the wolves bite him. Arthur said.
Hearing this, Ed was stunned and immediately went out to find his youngest daughter Arya and the emperor's friends to find out the details.
There's only so much Arthur can do.
If he knew when Arya was in trouble, he might have been able to stop the little wolf girl from running outside with Mikay.
Or when Joffrey sees them fighting, find a way to distract Joffrey. Otherwise, there is still a possibility of remedy after Arya attacks Joffrey.
Even if Joffrey is bitten by a wolf, there is still a chance to send a horse to poor Mikay and then take Arya to her father, Eddard, to confess his mistake to the Emperor.
Unfortunately, Arthur was not omniscient, he was just a weak young man.
...... To be continued......
