Picture 23 Trident River
When he left Bear Island while leaving, an old man told Evan that the Icewolf belonged to the north and could not go south. This seems like a prophecy, because none of the Stark children's Icewolves have ever been to the South in the original books. Either die a miserable death, or be forced to leave.
Arya's Icewolf bites Joffrey in the Riverland. So Evan took special precautions to prevent this from happening, because he also had an ice wolf by his side.
If someone wants to kill his Icewolf, his old buddy Ammon, then there is only war. Regardless of whether the other party is a king or a Lannister, the ice wolf is his only relative in this world, and if he dares to touch his relative, let him know how the word dead is written.
But Evan wasn't going to be out of trouble, and he was trying to avoid it. It may be the butterfly effect, but Aven's arrangement didn't work. Arya didn't compete with the butcher's apprentice. Instead, he was very well-behaved and followed his sister along the way.
Evan knows Arya's character, she really yearns for freedom, not being a lady. The reason why she didn't make trouble was that Jon didn't give her a "sewing needle".
Jon didn't go to the Wall, but accompanied Aven to King's Landing. He and Arya could see each other at any time, and there was no need to give her gifts. Naturally, sewing needles are no longer necessary.
As for whether Jon's absence from the Wall would have an impact on the Night's Watch's future, Evan wasn't worried at all. In the past few years, the Night's Watch has been perfected in all aspects, and he only went to add a force.
As soon as he arrived at the river to rest for a while, Robert ordered the convoy to hurry, and he did not go to the Frey's Twin Rivers to rest, nor to the Tully family's Riverrun, nor to the Beauty Bazaar. Instead, he made a five-day drive along the King's Road, came to the Trident River, and announced that he would be stationed for a day.
The convoy was divided into three sides, King Robert on his side, with 2,000 troops and a few servants. On Stark's side, he led a hundred troops and a number of servants. The rest was on Aven's side, leading twenty troops and a few servants.
The reason why Eddard and Evan brought so few people was not because there were no troops to bring with them in the north, but because King's Landing did not allow so many family guards to be stationed.
The army, regardless of the era, the rulers are extremely sensitive!
Except for a break for more than half a day, the three parties are generally separated when they are in a hurry. Naturally, Evan was summoned by Robert for a day off, and Jon was among them.
Evan took the Icewolf and walked side by side with Jon, "How are you feeling these days, Jon?" β
"I feel free." Jon said with a smile.
"Where did you get the freedom, leaving Winterfell, you just went into another cage!"
Jon was a little puzzled, "What do you mean by that?" β
Evan said: "A person's whole life is actually jumping from one cage to another. It's like you, you feel like you're free from Winterfell, but when you arrive in King's Landing, you'll find that you'll be surrounded by all sorts of people, both well-intentioned and malicious, who will bind you until one day, you're completely imprisoned. β
Jon didn't seem to understand, but it was clearly not time to explain. The two had already arrived at the venue. In front of you is the Trident River, which is crystal clear and flows gently, surrounded by lawns. There are several tables on the lawn with sumptuous food and drink.
Sitting above are Robert, Cersei, Joffrey, Eddard, Sansa, Arya. Evan and Jon greeted him, "Your Majesty! Queen! Lord Eddard! β
"Hmm." The three nodded in acknowledgment.
King Robert said, "Aven, Jon, you two take your seats!" β
Jon didn't expect him to be seated as an illegitimate child, but apparently he hadn't changed his identity at this point. He had become Aven's advisor.
Evan tapped Jon on the shoulder, and Jon reacted. The two sat down at the table, and Evan gently patted the icewolf's head, and the half-horse-sized icewolf was crawling behind Evan on his back.
Seeing this, Robert said, "Aven, your ice wolf is really scary, you have grown so big, is it true that Sansa and Arya's ice wolf will grow so big in the future?" β
"Yes, Icewolves don't reach adulthood until they're six years old, and Sansa and Arya's Icewolves are just cubs that are less than a year old. β
Robert laughed: "Hahaha, fortunately, there are still four or five years to go, otherwise the two girls with such a big ice wolf, and they won't be scared to death when they arrive in King's Landing." β
Sansa said, "Where, my lady is very gentle. She never bites. β
"Hahaha." Robert laughed heartily. Then he looked at Jon and said, "Jon, you're about to arrive in King's Landing as Aven's advisor, do you have any advice on the governance of King's Landing?" β
Jon was stunned for a moment, but fortunately his mind was flexible: "Your Majesty, I'm still unfamiliar with King's Landing, and I won't be able to give an answer until King's Landing's field trip is over." Now to say it is just a big talk, and there is no basis at all. β
"Although I spend less time dealing with government affairs than I do on women's bellies, I know that what you said is right, and when it comes to King's Landing, Aven, you and Jon will serve Eddard well, and let him govern the Seven Realms for me. That way I can spend more time looking for ...... in the future."
Cersei's atmosphere was incomparable: "You can't say less!" β
Robert said to himself, "That way I'll have more time to have fun with the." β
Evan didn't laugh, and he didn't dare to laugh. He really thought that Robert in front of him was a fool. In front of so many people, she didn't give Cersei face at all. You know, this is a monogamous Western society, no wonder Cersei not only killed her and Robert's first child, but also ended up getting together with James and killing Robert.
Think about it carefully, if you are a girl and marry a man he doesn't save face for you in front of others at all, and he flirts with all kinds of women in front of you and goes around. What's worse is that the other party is still the king, you don't dare to divorce. What would you do in the face of so much humiliation? I'm afraid that a normal person wouldn't be able to endure it.
Everything happens for a reason, a kind little girl turns into a vicious queen later, and everything is foreshadowed.
It was impossible for Evan to take care of the king's affairs now. He could only sit obediently at the table and listen to Robert brag about the of the year.
"I remember when I was younger, Ed and I were adopted by Jon Arryn and the two of us had a very good relationship. Once Ed's brother Brandon brought his sister Lyanna to see Ed in the Vale, and I was immediately attracted by Lyanna's beauty......"
Hearing this, Cersei angrily threw the wine glass on the table and said, "I'm a little unwell, so I'll leave first." β
Robert ignored it, and Ed said to Sansa and Arya, "You two should go back with the queen too!" β
"Yes, father."
In an instant, there were only four people left in the field, and Joffrey had just left with his mother. Apparently he is closer to his mother. Robert didn't say anything about it, still bragging about it.
"Then I got engaged to Lyanna, but on the day of our wedding, the hateful Rhaegar took Lyanna captive. O Lyanna, the girl who was like a rose, she had become a statue when I saw her later. β
Evan wanted to complain that Lyanna and Prince Rhaegar were in love with each other, and they eloped at all. You Robert is just making a fool of yourself and thinking that the woman likes you.
The whole kingdom almost mythologized Lyanna Stark, beautiful, gentle, moving, kind. But in the eyes of Aven, who knows history, Lyanna is just as silly and sweet as Sansa, fantasizing about the beautiful life of the prince and princess all day long, and she is completely a girl.
She probably never thought that her elopement with Rhaegar had killed her father and brother. and eventually killed his lover.
Robert continued, "What's even worse is that Eddard's father and brother were burned alive by the Mad King when they went to King's Landing.
Since then, I have succeeded the Baratheon family, Eddard has become the Lord of the North, and our adoptive father, the Lord of the Vale, have risen up from all three sides and embarked on a journey to destroy the Mad King!
At first, the kingdom had the upper hand, but it moved back into decline thanks to the heroic battle between me and Eddard. And the news that will determine the fate of the kingdom happened here. Aven, you know history so well, you should know what happened here, right? β
"Of course, it is clear that the battle was called the Battle of the Trident, and the battle took place on the Green Fork River of the Trident, now known as the crossing of Ruby Beach.
At that time, the army of Dorne led by Prince LΓΆven Martell fought against the left flank of the King. Sir Lynn Corbre picked up his sword after his father was wounded and charged through the Dorne army. During this onslaught, Sir Lynn encountered the wounded Prince LΓΆven, and after a fight, he killed him.
And you, the king, yourself were in the battle, and had a one-on-one battle with Rhaegar in a decisive battle. Although there were many great nobles and knights who died in this battle, or went down in history. However, it was the moment you killed Rhaegar with a single blow of the hammer, the King, that would determine the outcome of the battle. The leaderless royalist army collapsed and fled in all directions.
The force of the blow caused the rubies on Rhaegar's armor to shatter and fall into the river, which is where Ruby Beach got its name. At that time, I heard that the soldiers of both sides stopped fighting at the same time and went to collect Rhaeggar's rubies. Don't know if that's true? β
Robert laughed, and Ed couldn't help laughing: "How can it be true, it was in a state of war at that time, and there were enemies everywhere, and they could die at any time." Who has the leisure to grab gems? It's all just rumors. β
After Robert satisfied his pretence, he also realized that he had been away from King's Landing for almost two months, and he could not afford to drag it out like this. Departure in the afternoon without any lingering.
After five days, they finally arrived at King's Landing!
