Chapter 33: The "Wolves" of the North

In the days that followed, the Tyrells of the High Court and other dignitaries arrived at Harrenhal.

It wasn't until 5 days later that news of the Stark family's arrival came from the crossing of the Trident River.

Ed was extremely excited to hear the news, he paced left and right, looking restless, although there were no special mood fluctuations on his face, Han Xing still heard him secretly laugh when he turned his back to everyone.

Compared with Eddard, Robert is much more natural, the expression on his face can be understood even by a fool, as if "I'm happy, I'm excited", smiling brightly like a sunflower in the sun, and smirking from time to time, most of them have already dreamed of spending time with Lyanna.

Not far from Harrenhal, several fast horses stepped by, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the first rider was a tall, straight, handsome northern man, in his mid-20s, who looked heroic, presumably Eddard's eldest brother, Brandon Stark.

She was followed by a beautiful and charming girl who exuded a wild beauty, with brown hair, the long face of the Stark family, gray eyes, and unusually fair skin. Han Xing looked at it and felt that her appearance was very similar to Ned's daughter Arya Stark, but her figure, temperament and skin color were far from being comparable to that "washboard" little girl. From the look on Robert's face, as if an old drunkard had smelled the old wine, and his face was intoxicated, he knew that this was probably the Lyanna Stark he had been thinking about for a long time.

Behind them, a thin boy followed with an unconvinced face, although he tried to catch up with them, but he was too small, too thin, he was still thrown away by the two of them for more than ten meters, and could only "eat dirt" behind, thinking that it was Bunyan Stark, the youngest brother of the Stark family.

The tall man in the lead dismounted first, and when he came up, he gave Eddard, who was waiting outside the Harrenhal Gate, a bear hug, and he patted Ed on the shoulder and said, "Ned, my brother, I haven't seen you for a year, and you are a lot stronger." As he spoke, he smashed his fist on Ed's right shoulder, as if trying to verify his words and express intimacy.

Although Brandon had the attitude of testing Ed, and used considerable strength this time, Ed was not beaten back, and still stood steadily, not even shaking.

"It's my brother, hahaha!" Brandon was quite satisfied with Ed's performance, and actually pinched Ned's face with both hands, as if Ned was still a milk doll.

Compared to the tall Brandon, Ed is like a cute panda standing in front of a big black bear, rubbed vigorously by the big black bear.

Ed smiled bitterly and said, "Big brother! I think that's why he can get along with Stannis's "pig iron", after all, both of them are people who grew up in the shadow of their brother.

"Brandon, stop slapping Ned on the shoulder and pinching his cheek, you've been like that for as long as I can remember, like he's a child. In the past, he was 17 years old. What's more, there are so many people watching on the side! A lively, agile female voice came from the side, it was Lyanna.

It seemed that he still realized that it was indeed in public now, and his behavior was really a bit rude, Brandon put away his hand stupidly and coughed in embarrassment.

"Lyanna!" Suddenly, there was a voice with affection, and the owner of the voice was Robert, seeing the mighty and majestic "Lao Da Hammer" like a little boy in love for the first time, calling the name of the lover in his dreams helplessly, and with a shy face, revealing an expression that was completely inconsistent with his bearded mature and attractive man's personality, Han Xing almost suffocated to death with a smile.

The first time Lyanna saw Robert, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, and although it quickly disappeared, it was still captured by the observant Han Xing.

Alas! Preconceived ideas kill people! Just because of Ed's stinky mouth, Robert was given a negative score in the heart of Lyanna, who was like "Little Pepper".

Robert's face was "affectionate" to Lyanna's eyes, like a "pig brother" with a lustful soul, and Lyanna looked at Robert with disgust like a beautiful girl who was entangled by a pervert.

It is said that "there is a shih h h in the eye of a lover", Lyanna's malicious glance fell into Robert's eyes, and he was still excited, "She looks at me, she looks at me!" It was as if Lyanna had also given him a "affectionate" look.

So as if encouraged, Robert watched Lyanna's eyes become more and more direct, more and more numb, and the more he felt that Robert was really "obscene" in Lyanna's eyes, as if his eyes were going to "see" her through her coat.

"I'm afraid these two are done!" Han Xing couldn't help but feel sad for Robert, and said that the IQ in love is 0, although Robert is usually not shrewd, but he will not fall to the point of being a fool, right? But looking at the way he is now, his IQ is probably the same as his image in Lyanna's eyes, and he has fallen to the bottom, or he will be in arrears soon.

"Oh, Lyanna, my beautiful fiancée, could I have the privilege of inviting you to join me for a walk along the shores of the Lake of God's Eyes?" I'm afraid Robert will never say the same thing to another woman in his life, his voice is full of magnetism, his hands are trembling slightly with excitement, his eyes are clear and bright, full of sincerity, and he has released a kind smile full of kindness, which makes people feel indescribably kind.

However, in Lyanna's eyes, he seemed to be a glowing "pervert" with green eyes, and he was sending out a wolf howl of "whoop~woo~" towards him.

And this trip to the Lake of God's Eye seems to be the evil plot carefully planned by Robert, a "pervert", to abduct the "little sister" Lyanna.

His signature charming, kind, and affectionate smile instantly turned into an evil "lewd smile" in Lyanna's eyes.

Seeing this well-dressed beast issuing the so-called "invitation" in a dignified manner, Lyanna's heart seemed to scream: "Help! My Prince Charming! She was tempted to turn down Robert, who was her nominal fiancé, and it was only natural for her to ask her out on a date.

If you blatantly refuse, it will cause a diplomatic incident. (In the end, it was not a diplomatic incident), so I had to reluctantly groan.

So, first impressions are really important, "Robert, if you want to blame you, blame Ed's foul mouth!" ”

In fact, if Robert could hear Lyanna's heart, he would have cried out, "Wronged!" I'm really more wronged than Dou E! Lyanna, my love for you will not be forgotten even in this life. He proved it in time, so much so that Cersei (Tywin's daughter, Robert's later queen) hated him to the point of murdering him, just because the guy was still calling Lyanna on their wedding night, plus he was honest and liked to beat his wife.

At this moment, Brandon stepped forward and pushed Lyanna, pushing her to a stumbling ground and falling into Robert's arms. Robert immediately gave Brandon a grateful smile, enjoying the warm fragrance of nephrite in the arms of the beautiful woman, and even squeezed her into his arms desperately, eager to "merge" her with himself.

Lyanna's face was as red as a monkey's ass, but she was tightly restrained by Robert, unable to move at all, she desperately beat Robert's back, trying to break free from his embrace, and in her heart she scolded Brandon, the bastard, for being bloody, "Damn Brandon, you actually pushed me!" You bastard! You're pushing your sister into the fire pit! ”

Brandon understood the gratitude of the "future brother-in-law" and was quite satisfied with it, and replied to Robert with a "You are very good!" Looks. After all, Robert and Lyanna's marriage was approved by his father, not to mention that Robert is the Duke of Stormland's Storm's End, which can be described as a good match, as the future head of the Stark family, Brandon is of course willing to facilitate their good deeds.

He didn't care about his sister's strange behavior, he just thought she was a little daughter and was easy to be shy. Her pink fist thrashing is even more like being coquettish with Robert. He thought to himself: "Although my sister has always been a man's wife, she is only a 14-year-old girl after all, so she must be shy." So he helped "her".

Still, Robert maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, lifted Lyanna out of his arms, kissed her on the cheek affectionately, and put on a smile that was just right. One more point is exaggerated, and one less point is indifferent.

This scene is definitely worth cherishing forever as a wedding photo or a couple photo, and frankly, Robert didn't even notice Lyanna beating his back, and even if he did, he probably thought Lyanna was complaining about why he didn't go to see her.

As the last of the three to arrive, Bunyan was panting like an ox, and after getting off the horse, he staggered slowly, as if he were drunk driving. No way, his brother and sister, except for Ed, all have the so-called "blood of the wolf", in fact, this statement is quite mysterious, they are just more lively and impulsive than ordinary people.

When he finally came back to his senses, he found that most of them had already left, only Ed was still waiting for him, Ed patted him on the shoulder and said kindly: "Bunyan, you did a good job." Bunyan nodded happily.

Seeing Ed enjoying the interaction with Bunyan so much, Han Xing couldn't help but think: "Could it be because Ned wants to make up for all the grievances he suffered with Brandon here and experience what it's like to be an older brother?" ”

It was night, and people rested early, because tomorrow, a series of exciting jousting competitions will be held on the newly built jousting arena under Harrenhal.
