"Even if I ignore my kinship, the Lannisters are in Winterfell intent on murdering my disabled son."

Ed's voice froze.

And Arya shouted in surprise: "Bran? How is he?! ”

"He's fine, the assassin was bitten by his cryowolf's throat. The Assassin had used this dagger, the keel handle, and the Valyrian steel blade. The whole of Westeros is the only one, and it belongs to Tyrion Lannister. ”

'Keel', 'Valyrian steel'.

Two words that Lann cared about gathered on a dagger.

"Can you show me?"

Ed nodded, and with a dagger out of his body.

Lane finally saw the fabled steel for the first time.

The steel pattern is like water waves, and the black part of the blade is as deep as a puff of black smoke.

The hilt of the knife was handed to Lane, and the moment he reached out to touch it, Lann realized that Gendry was really right.

The weight of this steel was much lighter than the handle he usually felt with a dagger.

If you want to make it clear, it's at least half as light as normal metal! It's like the light aluminum window frame of the home world.

And when the keel handle was grasped, Lane found that his Roaring Bear Head Necklace did not vibrate.

But when I used the magic in my body to explore the keel, an inexplicable feeling came to my heart.

- It is a state of vitality and competition.

Lan En thought of a quote from "Dance of the Blood Dragons": "Dragons grow in life until they die." The gigantic 'Black Death' Bellerion known to have a mouth wide open enough to swallow a mammoth! ”

According to Lanen's calculation of the dragon's size, this 'Black Death' is at least a terrifying creature with a wingspan of more than two hundred meters.

It's a lot more cards than the dragons of the wizarding world!

It belongs to the volume that does not lose points on the Ultraman set.

And the inexhaustible growth power of the local dragons, Lan En can sense through this small bone.

"It's a good knife."

Lane was even more convinced that his interest in 'Keel' and Valyrian Steel was valuable, and he quietly returned the dagger.

But then the conversation changed.

"It seems that Winterfell sent you a message and a dagger, but why did you use such a continent-only weapon for assassination? Rather than that, why didn't that Tyrion just let the Assassin rush in and kill with his name shouting? This will save you a dagger that is unique in the world. ”

"I figure, instead of doubting that Tyrion, you might as well tell me where you got the news about the provenance of this dagger?"

"I guess it's one of your relatives again?"

Rann looked up at Eddard.

"You don't have to be so sarcastic, the source of the message is a guy who had a crush on my wife when I was young. My wife made me trust him. ”

"With all due respect, sir." The young witcher spread his hands.

"If every person who is trustworthy in the mouth of relatives is really trustworthy, then the world will be unimaginably good, whether it is business or politics, or even just work."

Ed opened his mouth, but couldn't refute it.

"I can't help it." After a while, Ed, who had a serious face, sighed.

"In King's Landing, I don't have anyone I can trust."

Lan En's face didn't fluctuate, he just nodded flatly.

If you have someone you can trust when you first take office, that's really a problem.

"Even if the situation is so bad, you can't just add someone to the trust list. Betrayers do more damage than adversaries. ”

"At the very least, you should be wary of that 'Madame Lyza' and your 'wife's crush.'"

"By the way, you should have absolute trust in the king, right? Why don't you just report to him? ”

Eddard couldn't help but press his temple when he heard his brother's name, and the look reminded Rann of how he felt when he was being fed with data by Mentos.

"Robert is so impulsive! If he knew about this, his first reaction would definitely be to do it to the Lannisters, regardless of whether he had evidence or a handle in his hands. But if you get hands-on. The whole of Westeros would be drawn straight into the war. Now the situation in the kingdom is tense, and a local conflict can ignite the whole situation! ”

"The king's anger is often indifferent to the great nobles. I had to find out what the former prime minister had discovered, and that was what scared the enemy so much that he wanted to kill him. ”

Got it, a reckless pig teammate can make the enemy laugh out loud.

"Understood. I'll go talk to that squire, and as for you, don't act rashly, don't even think about it now, the whole Prime Minister's Tower is being watched. ”

Ed pursed his lips and nodded, in this conversation, he was sure that the young man in front of him was indeed more sophisticated and thoughtful than himself in some ways.

Although he didn't know why he had such a vision at his age, he felt much more relaxed now to be able to give himself a valuable insight in the treacherous King's Landing.

If he hadn't been sure that Joffrey and Arya's conflict that day was a coincidence, and that Arya's escape was a coincidence, he wouldn't have dared to trust Lan En now.

But for now.

"Arya." Eddard Stark half-crouched down again, took his little daughter's arm, and looked at her earnestly.

"I'm sorry to bring you in. You've matured a lot since you ran away and got lost, I don't know if that's good or bad, but you have to at least protect yourself anyway, you know? ”

"I understand. I'm not going to run around anymore and I'm not going to leak today's conversation to anyone, not Sansa! ”

Arya's words made Ed's stiff face smile, and then he nodded to Lann and turned to walk towards the dining hall.

He listened to Lane.

In the past, he could have ruled the North, for the land had been under his family's rule for thousands of years.

But now in King's Landing, where he is the prime minister, even if he is full of worries, he has to force a smile and eat normally, just to show others.

After Ed left, Arya turned to stare at Lane.

"What do you think I'm doing?"

The witcher asked curiously.

Arya's face was grim.

"It's the first time I've seen my dad talk to someone and be told that he has no temper. Lanne."

The little girl said with great certainty: "You are so powerful! ”

"Oh." The person who was praised was very bland. "If you can go to the Imperial Council to have a look, I think your father will basically be like this at that conference table these days."

"Oh."

This time, it was replaced by Arya to keep a cold face.

For the rest of the day, there was a growing uproar outside the Red Keep, the crowds and vendors excited as the tournament approached.

Ran, on the other hand, gives Arya a lesson in swordsmanship at Prime Minister Tower.

Although he had to go to a knight canonized by the king in the evening to "talk to him", neither Lanne nor Arya regarded this as a very difficult thing.
