It's been a week since the bloody wedding, and the impact has been far-reaching.

Tywin's political intentions were undoubtedly realized, removing the last of the Five Kings' Rebellion and finally consolidating the royal power of his grandson Joffrey.

On the other hand, the three most powerful families in the North, Stark, Bolton, and Frey, were greatly weakened, among which the Frey family violated the sacred guest rights, except for Roselyn Frey, who escaped because of Edmure's relationship, and the rest of Frey were all hanged on the castle tower by the grief-stricken Mrs. Stark.

As for the Bolton family, they also followed in the footsteps of the Frey family, but the descendants of Luce were much fewer than the Marquis of Walder, and the branch of the old family had already been solved by Sauron.

Despite this, the most heaviest losses among the various families were the Stark family, the elite soldiers in the family were lost, the queen and the unborn baby of the Stark family also fell in the bloody wedding, and the Stark vassal family suffered heavy casualties, and the upper echelons of the family were almost wiped out.

The nobility of the north has already existed in name only.

At this time, a familiar and unfamiliar name came into the eyes of the princes of Westeros, Sauron Melko, the famous "Chosen Sword God" of the continent, who almost single-handedly destroyed the combined forces of Bolton and Frey, turned the tide and saved the young wolf lord from survival.

In the North, the mighty House Stark is in decline, but an even more powerful force is rising.

Although he died down after the bloody wedding and did not take any military action, everyone could foresee that when he roared again, it would shake the entire continent!

In Winterfell's dormitory, the burning campfire emitted flames and heat in the fireplace, but it couldn't dispel the cold.

Mrs. Stark looked sadly at her eldest son, Robb Stark.

Since returning from Twin Rivers City, this heroic young wolf lord seems to have exhausted all his energy and collapsed on the bed.

The lethal force of the bolts caused his wound to tear a huge wound, even to the bone, and at the same time, the wound became inflamed and he could not wake up with a high fever. However, when Maester Lewyn finally rescued him with all his might, he was like a man who had lost all faith and hope, and lay down in bed all day without saying a word.

Robb is disabled, and in order to save him, the old bachelor has to saw off one of his legs.

The bloody wedding not only destroyed his body, but also his faith, and he watched his wife and children die in front of him, but he was powerless to save them.

There is no greater mourning than death.

"Let him be alone for a while!" The old maester stood behind Mrs. Stark and whispered.

When Madame heard this, she took a deep look at her son, his gaze was dull and blank, as if he was looking at her, and as if he was looking at the void with nothing, he couldn't help but sigh and nodded lightly.

The two of them went out for a while, when Mrs. Stark suddenly asked, "Bachelor, you mean you knew about Bolton's ill intentions months ago. ”

Maester Luwen's face was full of shame, and he nodded heavily, "This is my sin, ma'am. If I had gotten the message out earlier, that wouldn't have happened. ”

"No, it's not your fault! Everything is the will of the seven gods. Mrs. Stark closed her eyes wearily and sighed, "When I sat back and watched Robb marry Jane and betray his vows to the Freys, nothing was undone. ”

"I almost lost him!" She said to herself that these days, whenever she recalled the scene that happened that day, it was as if she had fallen into the deepest nightmare.

Eddard's death, Theon's betrayal, the unborn grandson's untimely death, and Robb's mortal wounds all sent her shudders.

And behind all this, there is a figure standing as if there is no one, he is powerful, cold, and mysterious, and when she sees him in the most desperate moment of the wedding, there is a joy overflowing with hope, and at the same time, there is a faint uneasiness.

She didn't know where this uneasiness came from, but now, she understood something......

"Bachelor, please take me to Count Sauron, I want to convey my gratitude to him in person." In the hallway, Mrs. Stark said suddenly.

"When I saw Robb fall before my eyes, I prayed to the gods of heaven and swore in the name of all the new gods and the old gods, who can save my children, I am willing to pay for it at all costs." Mrs. Stark said this as she stared into his eyes when she saw him.

"Thank you so much for saving my son. So tell me, my lord, what exactly do you want? ”

"What can you give me, ma'am?" Zoro looked at the huge sand table in front of him and said lightly.

This was created for the Adventists and includes the terrain of Westeros, Essos, and parts of Sozolyos.

Mrs. Stark was in a trance for a moment when she first saw the huge sand table, but gave Sauron a meaningful look.

"All, sir. Including Winterfell, and the North, and even I can fetch Riverrun for you. Mrs. Stark was silent for a moment, then replied.

"But Winterfell is your husband's family's castle for generations, and Riverrun belongs to your brother, Lord Edmure." Zoro said lightly with his fingers slowly scratching the fine sand on the sand table that represented the symbols of the two castles.

"A wolf without claws is hard to withstand a lion, and as long as Stark and Lannister still exist, this war will never end." Mrs. Stark looked at Sauron, "I need your help, my lord. ”

She did not mention her brother Edmure Tully, for Sauron had brought him back to the Castle of Terror in the name of protecting Duke Tully when he returned to the North.

"What do you need from me, ma'am?"

"Revenge!" Lady Stark's eyes flashed with hatred, "The lives of my husband Eddard and Stark's unborn children, and the blood feuds of the Lords of the North and the soldiers, must be repaid with the blood of the Lannisters. ”

"Rest assured, ma'am, I have no intention of coveting Winterfell." Zoro turned around, he didn't need to worry about anything at this time, there were some things to talk about, "Taking Winterfell will only expose me to the senseless hostility of the nobles of the North, the Stark family is an honorable and loyal family, he will be the Lord of Winterfell, the guardian of the North, now and in the future." ”

That was the promise, and Sauron was confident that Madame Stark understood what he meant.

"Thank you for your mercy, my lord." Mrs. Stark bowed deeply, revealing her true feelings. After all, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way, she would never be willing to sell the interests of the Stark family, even in exchange for the continuation of the bloodline, but now Stark is like a young wolf surviving in the gap between lions and tigers, and it is impossible to escape the fate of being strangled and devoured if he is not careful.

Thankfully, it seems that the Tiger still has good intentions towards Stark, as its ambitions are not just for a corner of the North, but for the entire continent of Westeros.

This reminded Mrs. Stark of the two-year-long war of the Usurpers, which was finally led to the rebellion of the Starks, Baratheons, Arryns, and Tully for more than a decade due to the brutal rule of Aerys II, and they finally won the victory.

Her husband, Eddard Stark, played a great role in the war, and won the full trust and respect of the new king, Robert Baratheon.

He was named the Guardian of the Northern Territory, the largest territory of the Seven Kingdoms, and ruled over the nobles of the North.

Since then, the two young best friends have begun to rule the continent for more than a decade.

Unfortunately, time passed, the once majestic youth became an incompetent king who could only drink and prostitute people, and the power of the royal family was firmly in the hands of the Lannisters, and finally the Iron Throne of Baratheon was usurped by the incestuous Lannister siblings, and the puppet king Joffrey Lannister brutally killed her husband, leading to a series of tragedies that followed.

And this time, as it was then, she had to block all Stark and Tully's fortunes and gamble on an unknown fate.

Almost instantaneously determined, Mrs. Stark fell to her knees and said, "The Stark family will be at your disposal at any time, my lord. ”

But here she played a trick on her head, "As you said, sir. In order to gain the trust of the Lords of the North and to fight for you, I am willing to marry my daughter Sansa Stark as your wife as a bond of alliance between our two families. ”

The desperate experience of the bloody wedding has changed her a lot, and in the past, Mrs. Stark would never have given her daughter's lifelong happiness as a gift of political compromise, but in order to ensure that the Stark family's inheritance is not taken by outsiders, she can't care so much.

Although promise is beautiful, it is not as good as the bonds of marriage.

Just as they paid with their blood and sacrifices, but in the end the fruits of victory were usurped by the Lannisters.

Sauron only gave Mrs. Stark's offer a deep look, then nodded in agreement, "It's my pleasure, ma'am. ”

The news that Sansa of the Stark family was going to marry Sauron Melko soon spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms, giving the Lannisters a sense of relief and the nobles of the North finding a sense of relief in their grief.

During this time, the story of Count Sauron's brave rescue of the young wolf lord has been widely circulated in the continent of Westeros, and as a model for the nobility of the north, he has almost achieved the extreme.

Perhaps relying on this powerful and flawless man, they still have the possibility of defeating the Lannisters and avenging the tragic death of their family at the red wedding.

The nobles of the North were very happy to see the wedding happen.

And for the common people of the North, the union of the benevolent and just Lord Stark and the Merko who can bring them a good life is blessed and praised by the gods of heaven, all the new and the old.

The entire northern region is watching and looking forward to this wedding, except for one person......
