Eddard Stark saw Bran dressed in a white robe, with Summer by his side, and the dagger of courage given by Stannis at his waist, and his face was expressionless.

"Lord Eddard, Brandon Stark is already my Kingsguard: I bestow upon him the honor of bravery. The name of Yongwu Bran will soon spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms. Stannis's lips were as thin as a knife blade, and his words were always indifferent.

"Bran, you can't even beat me. Arya shouted as she stood aboard the Warhammer. Her Namelia looked up to the sky and snorted.

Sansa's eyes were filled with tears, and Bran was only eight years old when she was left alone in King's Landing. The cries of the ladies at her feet were whimpering.

Summer runs to the water's edge, leaping and howling.

The Warhammer had a deep draft and could not approach the shore, and there were special boats parked by the river to pick up people and boxes.

Melisandre, dressed in a big red robe, was attracted by Arya's scream, and she looked at Arya, and a chill suddenly rose in her heart, the child had a terrifying aura of death on her body.

Her red eyes were staring, and a hint of uneasiness rose in her heart.

A girl with the breath of death on her body, she traveled all over the world and met for the first time.

"Master Eddard Stark, how old is your youngest daughter? ”

"Eleven, Lady Melisandre. ”

"Eleven-year-olds, that's amazing. ”

"The Starks have lived in the harsh environment of the North for tens of thousands of years, and their bloodlines are different. Arya has the blood of a running wolf, and Bran has the blood of bravery. ”

Bran struggled to puff out his chest, a heat rising in his heart. A word of affirmation from the father surpassed the king's praise and appreciation for him!

At this point, Eddard Stark couldn't think about it.

He could not disobey the king's orders and forcibly take Bran Stark away.

It was too late.

A lot had happened last night, and no one noticed that Bran slipped out of the Prime Minister's Tower in the middle of the night and went to Stannis I on his own. Stannis I's personality will not make Bran the youngest Kingsguard in history, but Davos, the Red Robe, Cyris, Pyros and others will push Stannis to make a decision.

Because Bran was in King's Landing, beside Stannis I, he was clearly an iron guard, and when necessary, he was also a hostage.

Eddard Stark's loyalty and honor are unquestionable, but it's always good to have the Stark family on your hands.

In the Red Keep of King's Landing, during the reign of Robert I, all the Seven Kingdoms except the northern borders had the sons of noble lords serving as courtiers in the Red Keep, and if something happened, these heirs were hostages. Of course, for the lord, having an heir by the king's side is also a symbol of family status and honor, which is a double-edged sword. For example, Sir Berry Dondelion of Black Harbor volunteered to stay at the Red Keep as a courtier, intent on contributing to the kingdom.

At the King's side stood the Captain of the Kingsguard, 'the Fearless' Barristan Selmi, the Guard, Brandon Stark, the Younger Guard, whose sword and his wolf were no less than any first-rate swordsman, whose small throwing spear had been perfected, and Melisandre, the Red Shaman, who had lost to the faith of the Red God, who was sometimes completely unable to distinguish whether to put the threat of the Cold God first or to go out of his way to proclaim the faith and recruit followers.

In addition, there is Davos Seaworth, the Hand of the King, a new lord who is well versed in all smuggling tricks, who is unrivaled in the night and the waters of Westeros and the Narrow Sea, Pelos, a young scholar who has devoted himself to the faith of the Red God, and Queen Selys, who has established her own party in the name of the Red God, and her followers are collectively known as the 'Rear Party', the people who are united by the Red God, and the latter party includes lords, knights, soldiers, and civilians, regardless of class.

After greeting the King and Queen, Eddard Stark asked to speak a few words with Melisandre alone, which the King granted.

The two men walked to the side for some distance.

"Melisandre, don't demolish the Sanctuary and the Sacred Grove. Eddard Stark said solemnly.

"Why? You are afraid that your prophecy will not be true, and you will not be able to let me join the Inquisition. ”

"Demolish the Sanctuary, you will face the opposition of millions of people in King's Landing, demolish the Divine Forest, you are hurting the faith of the entire North, don't forget what the Lord of Light asked you to come to Westeros for, find the Lightbringer, assist the Human Emperor, and fight against the God of Cold and his people. ”

"I have never forgotten my mission, Prime Minister. Let King's Landing bathe in the light of the Red God, and when they all believe in the Red God, the mana of the Cold God will be suppressed. ”

"But don't forget, King's Landing has a St. Belle Cathedral. By demolishing the Templar, you will tear apart the unity of the king, and the attacking enemies will find an excuse and incite the populace to rise up against you and Stannis I. ”

"No, Lord Eddard, you underestimate the power of the Lord of Light. Only the Red God can fight against the Cold God, and the others are all false gods. ”

Eddard Stark's heart suddenly moved, are the red gods and cold gods the real ice and fire? and his previous understanding of ice and fire has always been wrong.

The red god is fire, and the cold god is ice.

Is this a showdown of ice and fire?

On the territory of the Seven Gods and the Old Gods?

However, how could the Seven Gods and the Old Gods be willing?

The rules of the world should not only be ice and fire, but also mountains, seas, forests and rivers, as well as plains and valleys, all of which have their own gods.

Eddard Stark said lightly: "Melisandre, think of the Isle of the Gods in Braavos, on which the Red God, the Cold God, the Seven Gods, and all the Old Gods are accepted. ”

Melisandre giggled, charming and touching: "Lord Eddard, the continent of Westeros is different, and the will of the gods here is also different, some gods have weakened, some gods have been extinguished, and some gods are rising rapidly, and some gods are already very powerful and will be even stronger, do you know why the four seasons of Westeros are so different?" Do you know why the winter is so long, and this time it is a long summer that has lasted for ten years, and the long summer has not yet ended, but, according to the rules of the balance of the world, shouldn't it be all year round?"

Eddard Stark said lightly: "My hunch is that the continent of Westeros will usher in four seasons of the year, and this is the war. ”

"You are wrong, Westeros will never usher in the four seasons of the year, the length of the seasons in this world depends on the war of the gods, soon, the long night and the cold winter will come together, all living beings will be enslaved, only the red god is the only powerful god who can defeat the cold god, join me, let the Lord of Light give you invincible power. ”

Eddard Stark stared at Melisandre deeply, "You are doomed, Melisandre, just as the cold god cannot unify the will of the gods, and neither can the red god." ”

"Then we'll see if your Inquisition, which can contain all the faiths of God, succeeds, or if my Lord of Light is ultimately invincible. ”

"I didn't want to see that. Eddard Stark said softly, he turned away, walked over to Bran, and hugged Bran: "Take care of yourself, Bran, you are the brave Bran, no matter what happens, remember, you are Stark." ”

"I'll remember, Father. Bran's eyes turned red.

His father had never said such things to him so emotionally, and he almost never hugged him.
