Riverrun.

Robb and his vassals gathered, this time with his uncle, Edmure Tully, the new Duke of Riverrun.

They were talking about who they would support as king, whether it was Stannis of the Baratheons, who were also raising the army, or Blue Rite.

"Lan Li is not a king. Robb said.

"Your Excellency, you can't go to King's Landing to pay your allegiance to Joffrey, can you?" said Gabbert Glover angrily, "Your father died at his hands." ”

"That means he's a wicked man," Robb replied, "but that doesn't mean Lan Li is the king." Joffrey was Robert's eldest son, and according to the law of the Kingdom, the throne was rightfully owned by him. If he dies, he will have a brother. The inheritance passed to Tommen. ”

"Tomman is also a Lannister in the best of his ability. Sir Marco said.

"That's right," Robb was a little troubled, "but even if both of them die, it won't be Lan Li's turn to be king." He is Robert's third brother, how can Lan Li take the throne before his brother Stannis?"

The Countess of Mormont nodded in agreement: "In order of Baratheon's eldest and youngest, Stannis is indeed more qualified than his younger brother Lanli. ”

"But Ranley himself was crowned at Storm's End," said Marco Piper, "and the High Court has his back, and Dornling will not sit idly by." If the forces of Winterfell and Riverrun join, it won't take more than a year for the Queen Mother, the Imp King, Duke Tywin, the Little Devil, and the Kingkiller to stick their heads on the tips of the guns in King's Landing!

But if we go to serve Master Stannis, what good will he do us?"

According to the law, his inheritance preceded the Rite. Robb said stubbornly.

Caitlin looked at her eldest son and felt that Robb spoke like his father, Ned, which scared her.

A roar rang out, "You coward!"

At this time, the most brave and warlike of the northern vassals, Jon, stood up.

He said that these two are younger brothers, and no one wants me to be convinced, let alone those southern Yankees, the gods they believe in are not real, they used to surrender to the dragon clan, and now the dragon clan is dead, and they still surrender to a fart.

He drew the terrifying two-handed greatsword and pointed it at Robb.

"It's okay for me to kneel, but I'm only going to kneel with this one king. His voice thundered, "Long live the King of the North!"

Count Karstark also drew his long sword and said, "Long live the King of the North!"

At this moment, the nobles of the river looked at each other and rose one after another, and although their families had never been ruled by Winterfell, they all stood together, drew their swords, and knelt on their knees, shouting an ancient title that no one had heard in three hundred years.

"Long live the King of the North!"

Gan!

Lynn was struggling to deal with waves of applicants, and he was caught off guard by the enthusiasm of the residents of the fishing village to get a stable job.

After a busy day, more than 20 craftsmen were recruited, most of whom had some construction experience, such as participating in the repair of the fishing village port walled city every year during the fish break, repairing the sewers in the city, and so on.

A middle-aged man who specializes in repairing thatched houses was hired by Lynn exceptionally, and was praised by Lynn for being a talent.

The guy looked excited, blushing and shouting at the acquaintance who had mocked him before: "See, the lord just praised me for being a talent!"

The acquaintance replied: "Then you are a fucking talent." ”

...

Lynn shook her head with a wry smile and asked Hill, the old bachelor who was sitting on the side taking notes.

"How many more candidates are there today?"

"My lord, there is only one left, and he has come to apply for the position of housekeeper. ”

Lynn cheered up, don't be like the previous few merchants who came to try their luck, with a face full of philistines and flattery, Lynn didn't want to keep a guy who could only flatter as a housekeeper.

Dani walked into the hall of the Lord's Mansion in a gray cotton jacket that had been washed a little white, but the mud spots on her face were still there.

Lynn saw a reddish-brown haired, fourteen-year-old girl walk in, looked at her in surprise and asked, "Are you a candidate?"

"Yes, sir!" the girl's voice was loud.

Lynn hoped she was not mistaken, and reconfirmed, "Applying for a housekeeper?"

"That's right, sir. Dani remained calm.

"So, the interview is over, it's a pity that you didn't get in!" Lynn shook her head, sighing what is the matter, a little girl actually wants to be her big housekeeper.

When the reddish-brown haired girl heard this, she suddenly couldn't hold back.

"Why, sir?" she looked at Lynn in a bit of panic. "You haven't asked me a question yet. ”

Lynn really waved his hand and subconsciously said, "I don't hire child labor here, which violates the law and morality." ”

The girl Dani blinked when she heard this, and said in surprise: "But, my lord... King's Landing's laws state that only children under the age of 10 are considered child laborers. ”

Lynn was stunned for a moment, raised an eyebrow at the old bachelor Hill on the side, and blinked.

The latter stood up and said respectfully: "Yes, my lord, the Iron Throne is indeed legally considered a child labor under the age of ten, and according to the law, she is eligible to be a candidate." ”

Lynn stammered.

Isn't it considered child labor when you reach the age of 10?

However, when I think about it, it seems that this is the case, and Erya's friend, the little fat man who works in a bakery, seems to be very young.

However, as a traverser, Lynn still has a hard time convincing herself to hire such a young girl to work.

He hesitated for a moment, still wanting to refuse, but saw the girl's eyes looking at him with big eyes, full of pleading and pleading.

Lynn felt a little weak for a moment.

The girl struck while the iron was hot and continued to plead, "Please, sir, if we don't have a job, my maid and I will soon starve to death." ”

Lynn was keenly aware of the word maid, his face darkened, and he said in surprise: "You still have a maid?"

What a joke, the candidate who claimed to be dying of starvation still had a maid.

Lynn actually wants to say that I don't have a maid myself.

The girl hurriedly corrected, "It's a former maid, my lord... I really need this job, if you can, can you give me a chance to give it a try?"

Lynn thought for a moment and asked, "What's your name?"

"Dani Tully. ”

Tully can't be from the Tully family in Riverrun, right? But he didn't seem to have heard the name at all, Lynn looked a little suspicious, but when he saw the beautiful reddish-brown hair on the girl's forehead, he fell into a thoughtful state.

"Please!" the girl continued to plead.

Lynn tapped his fingers on the tabletop, suddenly deflated, and said helplessly: "Give you a chance to try, and come to the house tomorrow!"

"Thank you, Lord!" Dani turned, squeezed through the crowd like a wild man, and left.

She was going to tell her former maid the good news, Healy.

Today's recruitment work came to an end, Lynn stood up, looked at the old Master Hill who was packing up the record books, and asked quietly, "Why didn't my father think about recruiting a maid or something for the Lord's Mansion before?"

Master Hill was silent for a moment, then paused, "My lord... I can help you inquire..."

"What?"

"There are maids for sale in the black market in White Harbor City. ”

Lynn was stunned and caught up with old Ciel, who had already walked away, "Hey, that's not what I meant. ”
