It's not going to be easy these days, but Egger can be relieved that it has nothing to do with him forgetting about the other person, and even on the contrary, his neglect has made things a little better......

Because he is the main source of problems for most of the people in this castle.

With the trust and courage that makes her look back feel like an evil spirit, the little princess chooses to trust Iger and assist him in attacking her "new home" Winterfell, and the castle changes hands without the sacrifice of the Stark family is good news, but it only lightens the burden she carries in half, and Messila still has to worry about whether what the Night's Watch said about Luce Bolton and the Queen is also true, and whether she has been used because she is young, ignorant and gullible...... To deal with the people you love?

Thankfully, all the tension and panic came to an end today—as the Queen arrived in Winterwinter with the Unsullied Guard, accompanied by the Earl of Bolton, openly and officially entered the castle as the master, the rumors that the Mad King's daughter had been wiped out by the Horrible Castle Army naturally vanished in the face of the hard facts. Witnessing the Mysella, she was relieved and relieved at the same time: she had not been fooled, that mysterious alien of unknown origin was as reliable and trustworthy as she had hoped, and that she had gambled on her luck to really protect the Starks and save them from an extinction crisis!

After this "collusion" test of trust, the imaginary commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch and the real-life Egger West coincided perfectly, and Myrthera suddenly felt as if she had known him for many years.

......

There were many people in the compound, and Messira carefully paid attention to her expression and demeanor, so as not to change the taste of this meeting in the eyes of those who cared: "It's okay, are you free now?"

Busy—but Iger didn't say that. First, it is really difficult for a normal person to say "no" to such a lovely little girl, and second, it can be judged by impression that Messira will not harass herself because of some bullshit and shit.

"Available. He didn't stop, but slowed his pace slightly, so that Micella's little feet could easily keep up, "Why, Arya isn't still thinking about how to kill me, is she?"

"No, no, she was still angry on the surface, but after seeing the Earl of Bolton following the queen's ass during the day, her anger in her heart had subsided a lot. Messira followed him briskly, her tone active: "I don't understand why the adults allowed her to keep the 'sewing needle', but even if she still wants to stab people with a small sword, the target must not be you." If I had to talk about her current state, Arya's most distressed thing right now is probably ...... She can't like you anymore. ”

Iger turned his head to look at the little princess and asked, "What do you mean by 'can't' like me anymore?"

"Oh, how can I say that. The little princess tangled her fingers through a handful of curly blonde hair hanging from her ears, frowned for a while, and then had an idea, "That's it...... If someone had asked Arya, 'Miss Stark, how do you like a night watchman?' she would have replied fiercely, 'It's your business!', but if someone asked her now...... Belch...... Anyway, you know, it's not that she doesn't like you anymore, it's that she can't like you anymore. ”

So it was, Egger could roughly understand, and even guessed what the second half of the sentence that Messira did not dare to say - and now if someone asked Arya, "Miss Stark, how do you like a traitor?" it was obviously a tricky question that was difficult to answer and impossible to answer......

People are social animals, and no matter how much they shout "I don't care what other people think", in fact, they will still be affected by public opinion after all.

In the case that he did take unseemly measures, and can be regarded as a traitor to some extent, he did not even have the qualifications to lose his temper, so he could only nod with a wry smile, indicating that he understood what the girl said: "Thank you, and trouble Miss Maeve to continue to be optimistic about Arya, don't let her do anything stupid to hurt others and herself." Anything that is not out of the ordinary will come to me at once......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly couldn't help but want to pat himself on the head, he used Arya as a tool to maintain his relationship with the Stark family, and now he actually instructed another girl who was a year younger than her to spy on her...... On the way to becoming a villain, he can be regarded as going farther and farther.

"I'll be careful, but I'm here today for another thing. Misella probably also realized that this topic made the atmosphere a little awkward, so she hurriedly changed the subject, "I was bored and cranky, and suddenly I found a piece of information that is likely to be useful to adults, but you probably didn't notice or ignored it. ”

"Oh?" said Egg, raising his eyebrows, "Tell me about it." ”

"Didn't the Fireplace City be breached and slaughtered in the previous invasion of the strangers in the south, and the Amber family was destroyed forever? As one of the great families of the North, the Ambers left behind the fortified castle and vast expanse of unowned land, which the Night's Watch now occupies for legitimate purposes and reasons, but have you ever thought about what to do with it in the future?"

Iger didn't know why, shrugged his shoulders and replied: "The occupation of the last Fireplace City is a requisition out of desperation, and the people of the north will demand its return, so it is reasonable for me to hold it in my hands and not return it." In order to avoid disputes, it is up to the people of the Northland to decide how to deal with it. ”

"Your Excellency must have thought of not arousing xenophobic hostility from the Northerners, and that's right. The little princess whispered, as if she was afraid of being heard: "If it is left to the people of the north to decide, then the final result is either that the nobles reach an agreement through struggle, and finally find a descendant from somewhere that everyone can accept, and whose ancestors have married to the Amber family, and let him change his surname and rebuild the new Amber family, or in the end, he can't come up with a plan that everyone is satisfied with, and finally the fireplace city lord will be removed from the list...... The castle was reduced to rubble, and the land was divided between the Stark family's heroes and surrounding families. ”

She paused, then continued, "Neither of these outcomes has anything to do with you, but in reality, a ready-made way for you to swallow this borderland, reasonably and legally, is in front of you, but you don't realize it. ”

Iger didn't keep up with the little princess's train of thought, and he didn't really want to keep up - what he was thinking about now was how to deal with Varys and drag the queen south as soon as possible to fight the country and establish the "New Westeros Kingdom" with the Great King's Domain as the core. In this grand plan, the land he was going to swallow was too big, and in the end, a small county in Fireland City was like a sesame seed next to a watermelon, neither rich nor strategically important, and occupying it was even more contrary to his "Northern Autonomy Plan", and the ownership of it and the land it carried...... To put it mildly, it really didn't get into his head.

The initial half-second disdain quickly dissipated, and Egger quickly returned to his senses: it is true that Amber's territory is an earldom, but due to the sparsely populated nature of the northern realm, it is not a small ...... In terms of area, it is almost half of the old royal domain, almost as large as the entire land grant, and in terms of population, even if it has experienced a catastrophe, there are still 20,000 or 30,000 inhabitants, and it is naturally not worth it to offend the entire northern territory and affect the plan to unify the seven kingdoms for such a piece of land, but the key is that what Messila just said is "swallow it reasonably and legally".

If this little girl Zhuge really had any way to get him to pocket the last Hearthh City without making a feud with the people of the North—Egger didn't believe in such a good thing—then he would be willing to squeeze out his time and energy to make this move.

"Let's hear it. ”

"Do you remember that Lord Morse Amber's only captive daughter re-identified with her father as a land-giveaway after you accepted the wildlings through the Wall?"

Of course, I remember that this reunion scene was arranged by Egger in order to break the resolute opposition of the Amber family, who were the most hostile to the wildlings in the northern patrol group, to the "land grant and resettlement plan" - this trick worked as expected.

"Remember, what's wrong?"

"She had two children with the wild man who had taken her. ”

That's right, but they were all brought back by the Amber family.

Egg frowned and wondered, "This Miss Amber or her two sons weren't in the castle when the final Hearthside City was breached?"

"Not certainly, but I had heard Lord Robb complain earlier at dinner with Arya, and he said at the time, 'The two grandsons of Raven Eater Morse, accustomed to living with the wildlings, could not stay at all in the last Hearth, and ran back to the town in three days.' ”

I see.

If one of these two children is still alive and in Houguan Town, then he has in his hands the man who is still alive in the world and is closest to the Amber family's bloodline, of course...... They are just "bastards" born of Miss Amber after being taken captive by the savages, but as long as they ask the queen to be legitimate, the king has this power, then they are the most qualified people in the world to inherit the last Hearthhland, which is what Messila called "swallowing the last Hearthhland" reasonably and legally!

Iger understood everything and turned to look at his orderly: "Harvey, what are the names of those two grandsons of Raven Eater Morse?"

"I don't know, my lord!"

The trained soldier reflexively straightened his waist and gave the most cowardly answer in the most awesome tone.

"Were they in Houguan Town when the strange spirits attacked south around the wall?"

"I don't know, my lord!"

"Are they still alive?"

"I don't know, my lord!"

I don't know, but Iger doesn't blame Harvey...... If even he hadn't thought of this at all, it was obviously too much to expect an ordinary officer under his command to have such an incredibly sharp intuition.

"Get to the bottom of this as soon as possible, and if they're not dead, send someone to me - be careful!"

"Yes, sir!"

The neat questions and answers and orders that were unique to the military took place so quickly that Messira couldn't even find a gap to interject, and looking at the back of the soldier who had to turn away and go on his mission immediately, she suddenly understood why the Night's Watch had been able to defeat the army of strangers and the dead.

"Uh, sir...... They seem to be called Angus and Benny. The little princess retracted her gaze and whispered, then lowered her voice again as if she was weak, "It's very likely that they will be in Houguan Town when the strange ghosts attack, but even if it's a pity that they don't, you can actually do it...... Find someone to impersonate them. The little boys were already growing up fast, and those who knew them well had all died at the hands of the ghouls in the final Hearth. ”
