The bright sun swayed from the sky, and many white flowers outside the window fluttered with the sea breeze blowing from the distance of the castle, like countless dandelions flying, and like the familiar summer snow in the hometown.

However, this is just some poplar seeds blown out by the wind in the Red Fort Divine Tree Forest, like a guixiang, it is not a thing after all.

Standing in front of the window silently watching all this, Eddard Stark was expressionless, but his gray eyes were full of complex emotions, expectations, melancholy, and a trace of sadness that could not be concealed.

"The last time I came to King's Landing, there was chaos everywhere, but now, I see a new kingdom."

His voice was muffled and low, but it was audible enough.

In the room behind him, the dwarf Zedi man was sitting on a chair silently wiping a dagger with an oilcloth, and when he heard the words, he replied, "Everything is changing, my lord, including this castle." ”

"yes, including this castle." Ed muttered, suddenly laughing.

"When Bunyan was a child, he made a bet with me about which castle in the Seven Kingdoms was the strongest, and I said Harrenhal in the Riverlands, but he always claimed that it was the Red Keep, because it was where the king lived......"

"Then your brother might be disappointed now." Zedi people said meaningfully: "The Red Fort is probably the most dangerous one in the Seven Kingdoms. ”

"He wasn't disappointed because he changed his mind."

"He said that the Black Castle under the Great Wall was the strongest. Castle Black, do you know Horan, there are no walls there, how can it be called strong?"

With that, he shook his head.

"He said he'd be a night watchman when we got back."

The words sounded nothing out of the ordinary, but the Duke of the North was clearly still immersed in the grief of his little sister's death, and the Zedi people sighed equally gloomily when they heard this, and then reluctantly smiled and changed the subject.

"They all say the Tyrells want a queen."

The Zedi's words were the gossip that had been spreading in King's Landing's aristocratic circles lately.

In order to make his sister queen, Mace Tyrell, the Duke of Riverlands, bribed some nasty personnel in King's Landing to spread rumors about the Lannisters in the Westlands, and then hired singers to praise his own sister, mainly because he wanted to replace the Lannisters, who might become relatives of the king, in order to redeem the disadvantages caused by the defeat in the war.

It is said that the Lannisters and the Tyrells had an argument over this, but the Zedi, who had only returned a few days ago, regretted not being able to see them in person.

"Mace Tyrell sided with the Targaryens in the war, and his vassal, Randolph Tully, also made Robert suffer." Eddard said, "But if I had to choose, I would choose the women of the Tyrells family as wives, not the Lannisters." ”

There seemed to be a deep meaning in these words, so the Zedi people asked thoughtfully, "Lord Robert has made a choice?" ”

"Three days later, a new king will be crowned, and news of King Robert marrying a Lannister woman as queen will spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms."

"Actually, Duke Tywin has already written to Castle Rock to summon his daughter, which means we have a wedding coming soon," said Aide. ”

As he said this, his eyes remained unblinking, staring at the world outside the castle, and his voice was undisguisedly darkened. "I'm tired, Holland, and when Robert's wedding is over, we'll go back to the North."

Zedi nodded silently, and then there was silence in the room. Until the man at the window suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at his subordinate, and his voice was subconsciously lowered.

"Is the kid okay?"

"I don't cry anymore recently, and the new nurse is very experienced and takes good care of him." The Zedi replied, "My lord, I suggest we take her with us when we go back." ”

"Make sure she has plenty of milk." Thinking of that person's size, Ed was a little worried.

"We must be cautious about this matter, it is difficult for us to find other nurses on the road."

……

"So, there's nothing to do with us anymore?"

A crisp voice sounded from the balcony of the room in the Mei Ge Building, and a boy in a delicate black leather coat was sitting on a carved chair at this time asking the brown-haired middle-aged man sitting opposite,

The sun was shining outside the window, and the buck coat of arms on the boy's chest was shining brightly, and the silver-inlaid deer eyes also flashed with the slight shaking of the boy's upper body, and the lower body was wearing loose brown trousers, barefoot and no shoes, looking homely.

A fluffy black cat was lying under the round table in front of him at this time, constantly rolling over and over with the slow ravages of the little master's feet, like a toy, but it didn't look impatient at all, but squinted its eyes and purred a lot, looking like it was enjoying it.

Davos, who was sitting across from him, was taking a sip of barley tea at this time, and nodded as if he had just finished speaking.

"The lion's family has given up on tracking. It's still the Rose family's investigation, but they are understaffed in King's Landing, and they don't pose a threat to us. ”

Lan Li nodded when he heard this, feeling quite amused in his heart.

He had misremembered one thing before, that is, Duke Tyrrell's sister was engaged, and he was still a little apprehensive about it, but he didn't know if it was really stupid or sure, that Duke Metz of the Tyrell family really planned to run over to fight for the queen's throne, ignoring the previous marriage contract and the possible impact of this matter.

As soon as he did this, everyone's suspicions disappeared, and it was clearly determined that the "rumors" from some time ago were the work of the Tyrells.

Lannister's anger was drawn to the Bend, and it may have been true, as some claimed, that the captured bandit had not betrayed them, nor had anyone trouble Davos.

In short, on the fourth day of the return of the northerners, that is, now, the matter has basically come to an end.

Lan Li still has some pity for this, because the duke's battle for the throne has failed, and the dirty water he bothered to spill has been swallowed into his stomach by his cheap big brother, which means that Cersei, who smirks all day long, will still be the queen in the future.

However, Lan Li was not so frustrated by this.

He didn't believe that there were rumors, that Cersei dared to turn her back on Robert to fuck her brother, and he didn't believe that his sister-in-law really gave birth to a blonde son and Robert would stupidly think it was his own.

Thinking of this, Lan Li suddenly asked, "What about that Bailu Wenda?" What did she say? ”

He asked about the remnants of the stupid bandits a while ago, who had been secretly hidden by Davos.

"She originally wanted to save her companions, but the captured bandits had already been beheaded. She had nowhere else to go, and was ready to take her son back to the Royal Forest. Davos said, "She's a talent, my lord, maybe you can really use her." ”

"What are you for?"

Lan Li heard this strange thing, the female bandit in front of him seemed to be very optimistic?

"Running errands, doing things, being a maid, doing anything, it's a pity to send it back to raise pigs." The former smuggler said admiringly: "And she is literate." ”

"Literacy?"

Lan Li's feet shook for a moment, and after thinking about it, she asked, "Is she reliable?" ”

"I believe she's reliable because the facts have proven it." Davos replied.

"Then is she familiar with the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms?"

"She used to kidnap nobles for a living." Davos replied.

"Kidnapping ......"

After hearing this, the boy's mind unconsciously flashed the appearance of the Zedi man, so he squinted: "I'll write a note later, and then you can help me hand it to her." If she can help me with this, then I can take her son as a servant, and if I become a lord in the future, I can also consider training him to be a knight, and she herself, can-"

As he spoke, he suddenly frowned, and then looked down at the table in front of him, where the black cat was lying there biting his heel with its thin teeth, and then screamed disapprovingly in the face of Lan Li's gaze.

Are you a cat, a human, or a dog?

Lan Li was very curious about the real situation of this cat, but he had studied this cat for a while, but he didn't come up with one, two, three, and now he didn't bother to think about it, so after rolling his eyes at it, he started to ravage the sticky cat as dough again.

"You can come and be my maid, or a bodyguard or something." The dark-haired boy retracted his gaze and added what he had just wanted to say.

"If she's willing."

Davos nodded, chatted with the boy about everyday words, and finally walked out of the room with a parchment scroll full of words.

However, he had barely left the Maigar Building when he suddenly saw Stannis staring at him quietly in a long corridor.

"This is the first time you've come to Lan Li?" He asked.
