The closest road from Winterfell to King's Landing is along the King's Road, which was built during the reign of Jaehaerys the Arbiter, which runs from the Black Castle of the Great Wall in the north through King's Landing, the capital of the kingdom, to Storm's End in the south, a total length of nearly 2,000 miles.

It was nearly a thousand miles from Winterfell to King's Landing, and it was this road that King Robert walked.

Due to the secrecy of Mrs. Stark's visit to King's Landing, she did not intend to take the King's Road, but walked along the Whiteblade River towards the sea, and then hired a boat to take the waterway in White Harbor. If the horses were fast and the sea breeze was smooth, they would have arrived in King's Landing before Ed and the Lannisters.

In addition to the new Sir Sauron and Lady Stark, the mentor of Winterfell will also be traveling.

However, it wasn't until near the end of his journey that Sauron discovered the embarrassing fact that he couldn't ride a horse.

"You're a knight." Mrs. Stark's expression was frustrated, and she wondered if her earlier decision had been hasty.

Sir Sauron spread his hands and said, "Thanks to your son, I have just become a knight, ma'am, and before that I was just a mercenary accustomed to walking. ”

"Madame, it's enough for me to protect me alone." Sir Rodric held his sword and said, he was a little unhappy that Madame had told such an important matter to this unknown fellow.

"Still, I think riding is not a very difficult task, given that Sir Rodric is willing to teach him." Sauron's expression didn't change in the slightest, and he looked towards Ser Roderick.

"Hah! I remember when I was seven years old, it took me a full day for my father to teach me to ride a horse for the first time, and I was actually able to ride a horse at the age of fourteen and become a qualified sommelier. "You mean you'll learn it in a day, and you're ready to ride all the way from Winterfell to King's Landing." ”

"Half a day should be enough to be exact." Sauron said to the old knight's cross-examination.

……

Half a day later, three horses walked slowly down the mountain stream path to White Harbour.

"Ma'am." Sir Rodric rode his horse alongside Mrs. Stark, and he gestured with his eyes to the front, and Sir Sauron was galloping back and forth with great interest.

The old knight had a serious expression and said softly, "This person is very mysterious, I have never heard of his name among mercenaries, why do you want to ......"

"Let him know what we're doing, right?" Mrs. Stark interrupted suddenly, her eyes faintly not looking ahead, and after a moment she asked, "What do you think of his magic potion?" ”

Sir Rodric was stunned for a moment, then replied in a solemn tone, "Almost a miracle." ”

"Yes, it's like a gift from the gods. When Bran was wounded in bed, I prayed day and night to the seven faces of the seven gods, and I prayed that if anyone could save my son, he would be the one I trusted most. "And if the former Prime Minister, Jon Arryn, was the Lannister murder, then Ned and my daughters are now in danger of their lives." I need someone like that, someone who can save my children and keep doing miracles. ”

"I hope so." Sir Rodric thought so in his heart, because no force in the Seven Kingdoms would exchange such a magical bottle of medicine for the trust of the Stark family, because it was equivalent to another life!

A month later......

"In an hour, we'll be in King's Landing!" In the endless waters of the Azure Gorge, Captain Merio Docitis, captain of the Storm Dancer, shouted loudly from the bow of the ship.

Mrs. Stark turned her head from the mast and said with a forced smile: "Mr. Captain, your sailors have behaved very competently, and I will give each of them a silver deer as a token of my gratitude." ”

Captain Morio half-bowed and thanked, "Madame, you are so generous. It is the best reward to be fortunate enough to serve an official wife like you. ”

"They deserve it."

"Then I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you on their behalf." The captain glanced at the knightly man beside the lady, especially his legs, which stood straight on the deck that rose and fell with the waves, but did not tremble at all, and his eyes suddenly turned slightly.

As a well-informed captain, he knows how difficult it can be. The hull of the ship on the waves of the sea is undulating, and even a sailor who has been at sea for many years may not have such a steady footstep as him.

"Sailing out to sea is truly an unforgettable journey!" The knight stood by the mast, the strong sea breeze blowing, and the pitch-black cloak hunting, and his eyes closed and let out such an exclamation.

"He really doesn't look like a mercenary from a civilian background, but more like a noble young master who has stayed in the castle since birth." Mrs. Stark thought so, and out of affection, she followed the other man's words and asked, "Sir, have you never been to sea?" ”

"I really have never experienced anything like this, let alone seen such a beautiful sea." In the real world, Sauron had the privilege of traveling to Hainan once, and it was the first time he saw the sea in his life, but unfortunately the reality was too far from the photo, the beach there had long been destroyed by human footprints, and the only thing he saw was the turbulent sea of people and the turbid yellow water on the beach.

What's more, this is a medieval wooden ship, drifting on the sea with the help of primitive wind and artificial power, and no one on earth has ever experienced such a scene.

At this moment Sir Rodric stepped onto the deck. "My dear friend," said the green-bearded Morio enthusiastically, "I'm glad to see that you look much better." ”

"Oh!" Rodric casually agreed, "I've really felt a little more comfortable in the past two days, and I won't want to see each other so much." With that, he bowed to Mrs. Stark, "Hello, Madame. ”

His face was a little unpleasant, not only because he felt that he had not fulfilled his duty to protect his wife, but also because of the seasickness for a month, which made him a little thinner than when they set off from White Harbor.

"I heard the sailors say that our journey is coming to an end." Sir Rodric seemed to exhale lightly, and he habitually touched his beard, only to find that his beloved beard had left him.

There was no way to do it, and as he passed through Bite Bay, he lay on the side of the mast and vomited into the wind, and by the third time his beard was hopelessly dirty, so he had to let the sailor clean it with a razor.

"Yes, Sir." Mrs. Stark seemed to have something to say.

"You talk about business, I won't bother." Captain Morio left in surprise.

The sailboat floats on the surface of the water like a dragonfly, and the paddles rise and fall in unison.

Sir Rodric grabbed the railing and looked out over the speeding land. "I'm not a good guard." After that, he looked at the other knight who was guarding the lady, thought for a moment and said, "Sir Sauron, thank you for guarding the lady for this time. ”

Zoro nodded noncommittally, he knew it would be an easy journey, but the place they were about to arrive was full of murderous intent and terrifying.

Mrs. Stark patted him on the arm, "Sir Rodric, we've arrived at our destination safely, and that's enough. I just don't know if we'll be able to meet Ned this time. ”

"Don't worry ma'am, Your Excellency the Duke has thirty Northern Warriors with him, and there is no army to dispatch, and the Lannister mongrels can't help them." Sir Rodric nodded heavily, the guards had been trained by his own hands.

"I hope so......," muttered Mrs. Stark.

Time flies.

"King's Landing has arrived!" As the lookout overhead shouted from the ropes, Captain Morio walked back and forth on the deck to give orders, and then the Capital King's Landing, perched on three hills, came into view, and the entire "Storm Dancer" was immediately thrown into a state of activity.

King's Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms and the most prosperous city in Westeros, is located on the east coast of Westeros, overlooking Blackwater Bay. The city occupies the north bank of the Blackwater River and covers three hills, named after Aegon and his two sisters, Visenia and Rhaenys.

At the top of the high mound of Aegon is the Red Castle, the royal castle in the southeast corner of the city, overlooking the entire river bay, and the marble-walled Basilica of St. Belle and its seven crystal towers are erected at the top of the Visennian hills. The Rhaenys Hill is covered in the ruins of the Dragon's Lair Dome, and its bronze gates have been closed for a century and a half since the death of the last dragon.

The proximity of the king is square, spreading for miles, protected by high walls. There are a total of seven gates to enter the city, namely: Dragon Gate, Lion Gate, Mud Gate, Old City Gate, Gods Gate, King's Gate, and Steel Gate.

The three of them rode into the city gates, and the crowd was everywhere.

Within the city walls, the city was dotted with dwellings, trees, barns, stone warehouses, wooden inns, commercial clubs, taverns, cemeteries and **, as well as a fish market. Even though you are still far away, you can still hear the noise of the fishing market. Wide boulevards, winding side streets, and alleys too narrow for two people to walk side-by-side weave between the buildings.

"Welcome to King's Landing, Lady Stark, come with us if you don't mind." Suddenly, two knights on horseback and dressed in the guards of the capital stopped the three of them.

"Why, we didn't break the law."

"We were ordered to escort you into the city." A knight handed over a ribbon, and Mrs. Stark saw that the ash was covered with a sound-like bird.

"Petyr." Mrs. Stark froze, "How did he know I was in King's Landing?" ”

"Morio." A slight voice came to her ears.

Mrs. Stark looked up and saw that it was Ser Sauron. It dawned on him that it was no wonder that the damned captain was so respectful to her, that he already knew who they were.

Sir Rodric hung his head in annoyance, and if their identities were revealed, it must have been accidentally revealed by him while he was seasick and delirious.

"Okay." Mrs. Stark took a deep breath and said calmly, "Let's meet my childhood friend!" ”
