After Jones handed over the ice, he was about to go to the other nobles' tables to find his place, but was left behind by the bandaged Jon.

When Jones sat down, he found that the table contained Robb Stark, Lady Caitlin, Big Jon, Earl Karstark, Lady Maggie, Stevren Frey, the eldest son of Blackwood, who had fought with him before, and a woman he did not know.

The woman sat at the end of the table, her age was also just an adult, with a goose egg face, a beautiful face, long brown curly hair, a slightly chubby body, and a girdle that set off her breasts spectacularly.

When Jones's eyes swept over her, he saw that the woman was unabashedly looking at herself.

"Barbara Bracken," the chubby woman spoke, her tone soft, not annoying, "First meeting, Black Knight. ”

"Jones Amber, my young lady," Jones said with a slight salute, but thinking about something else, "Amud Tully is not here, the Earl of Blackwood and the Earl of Brecon are children, and it is evident that Robb did not rescue the princes of the Riverlands, and it seems that he did not go well before." ”

......

Blackwood's eldest son nodded slightly to Jones, without any intention of speaking, and his face was very stiff, it seems that he still has an opinion about Jones not replacing his father when he retreated to Riverrun.

Stevren Frey stared at the ceiling, trying not to make eye contact with Jones, who instantly skipped his eyes off him.

Both of them have found a tacit way to get along.

Lady Maggie was not tall and thin, with long gray hair, but she was powerful in her every move, and was the only person at the table wearing armor except Jones.

Jones 'abducted' her daughter because she was not married, and she was too weak to look at her.

Earl Karstark sat across from Jones, his taller stature, second only to Great Jon, with a visibly sad look on his face, his white beard and hair looking more haggard, but when Jones looked at him, he squeezed out a smile and nodded.

This was a bit confusing to Jones, for he knew that Earl Karstark had admired him since the tournament in the North.

But Karstark is a person who doesn't pay much attention to etiquette, and it is really abnormal to squeeze a smile out of his face today.

Big Jon's face was a little pale, his waist was wrapped in layers of white bandages, Jones could even smell the alcohol on his body, but Big Jon had always been very rough, at least when he had just asked himself to stay, his voice was still very loud, and he couldn't see any serious injuries at all.

"Looks like he's recovering well, he's in good shape," Jones thought to himself.

Lady Caitlyn sat beneath Robb, with her auburn hair and blue eyes, and even though she was over thirty years old, she was still quite beautiful.

When Jones looked at her, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and nodded encouragingly, but there was a pity in her eyes as if she had just knocked something over.

"What happened during the time I've been away?" Jones was at a loss.

......

The smile on Jon's lips could no longer be hidden, and he said to Jones, who was full of doubts, "Boy, you're in luck!"

"Let's go...... What luck did you get?" Jones asked, puzzled.

There's no luck in reclaiming the ice.

Big Jon and Count Karstark looked at each other and said happily, "Arri, the only daughter of Earl Karstark, will marry you, she is now on her way south, and your wedding will take place in Riverrun......"

......

The news was so sudden that Jones panicked and his face changed constantly.

Eventually, though, he let out a deep breath and said, "I'm so sorry I can't marry Miss Karstark. ”

The smiles on the faces of several people froze instantly.

The air suddenly became heavy.

......

"Why?" said Count Karstark, frowning, his voice deeply puzzled.

"I've promised another woman, and I love her. Jones said firmly.

When the Great Jon and Earl Stark heard this, their faces softened.

"It's okay if you want to have fun, as long as you don't bring that civilian back, it's okay to have a bunch of illegitimate children. Jon said with a wave of his hand, disgusted by Jones's fuss.

Big Jon's words are the status quo of the aristocracy, most of Westeros is monogamous, but it is normal for nobles to have illegitimate children and lovers.

The men at the table listened to Big Jon's words and nodded as a matter of course.

Lady Maggie, Lady Catelyn, and Barbara Brecon had frost on their faces, and were clearly unhappy with the fact that Big Jon was so explicit.

......

"I can only marry her, not Yali. Jones decided to make things clear, and it was clear that the matter could not be delayed any longer, and the Miss of the Casstarks was already on her way south.

The atmosphere became deathly silent.

Count Karstark stood up angrily.

His action made the noisy hall instantly quiet, and everyone stopped eating and drinking, and turned their eyes to this place.

Earl Karstark trembled because of anger and pointed at Jones, his face kept shaking, and he was about to say something, he exhaled deeply, and then said in a depressed voice, "Ari was engaged to Dalynn Horwood, who died in battle, but Ari is still a virgin, and I can vouch for this with the honor of the Karstark family......"

"Not the problem. ”

"Listen to me," roared Count Karstark in a low voice, "you are good friends with my son Toren and Eddard, and now that they are gone, I will treat you as my son, and if you marry Ari, I can give you a quarter of the territory of Kahoe, which is right connected with your territory." Isn't that okay?"

In the end, the old man took on a pleading tone for the first time.

Jones didn't dare to look Count Karstark in the eye anymore and turned his head away.

"I'm sorry," he whispered.

......

There was another deathly silence, then suddenly broken by the clattering sound of shattering.

Count Karstark angrily swept the soup in front of him to the ground, his face turned pale, and he walked out without looking back.

Footsteps rumbled through the dead hall.

Jones didn't turn his head, but he still felt that Harrion Karstark must have been staring at him angrily for a long time before chasing his father out.

......

Then, almost everyone in the hall whispered, as if thousands of rats had run in, and the sound of gnawing made Jones extremely upset.
