Chapter 0749: Original Sin: Ice and Fire

Will looked at Sansa.

Sansa learns to ride a griffon in order to go south with him. She also rode Griffonflame to the Wolf Forest to find him and Arya, and publicly declared in front of Arya that she was going south with Will.

Will and Sansa make eye contact, and Sansa is not as depressed as she expected.

Didn't she say she was going with him?

Isn't Arya supposed to feel sad and sad that she has taken the opportunity?

Why didn't you see Sansa's strange expression?

Will remembered that in the two days after Arya's training, Arya always looked mysterious, and looked at him a little strangely, maybe the sudden change of things was achieved by Arya in these two days.

It's not surprising that Arya can convince Robb to support her, Robb knows Arya's skills, the swordsmanship of the Water Dance and the Spirit of the Wind, and Arya is already a super-first-class swordsman. Coupled with the learning of stealth skills, anyone who wants to trouble her can only ask for more blessings.

Among the fierce men around Will, Arya's swordsmanship is not inferior to anyone.

She also has the advantage of being a skinny girl who rides on Aquamarine, who can fly for a long time. Azurite can carry six people in a short distance, but once it flies a long distance, it is naturally as light as possible.

Will looked at Catelyn, and he read a reason in Catelyn's eyes: the Starks couldn't afford to lose Will's close connection.

So who made her so vigilant?

Will hadn't noticed any deliberate vigilance on the part of Catelyn in his past contact with her. But now that she has, the look in her eyes says it all, and Caitlyn doesn't hide that eye contact.

In light of this, she hopes Will will be well.

But there's a problem: how could she let Arya go south, rather than any of the other knights in the North, like Harris, who was the first to ride a spear.

Will looked at Robb, the one he trusted the most. Robb was militarily talented, courageous, emotional, and politically sensitive, but trustworthy.

Will didn't see more mixed emotions in Robb's eyes. Robb also proposed marriage, but it was Will himself who took the initiative to postpone the marriage.

Caitlyn had been scrutinizing Will, the night watchman's rise from his initial downfall to his current honorable status, and everything was like a dream. But with the background of the Stark family, the surname of the Stark family, whether it is Mia, Sansa, or Arya, is enough to match Will, but Will refused to marry, and under the persuasion of many parties, he finally reluctantly agreed to the marriage, but also insisted on postponing the time until after returning from the south.

Will's refusal to marry is a hard blow to Caitlyn.

This was something she hadn't expected at all, and it was something that the other nobles, including Jenny and Robb, hadn't expected. Later, the Marquis of Gavin went to Will and asked him which woman Will liked? This is a very secret conversation between the two, but it was discussed between Caitlyn and Robb before communicating with Sir Gavin.

Who knew that Will didn't pay special attention to Mia, Sansa, or Arya, and he didn't have the passion to marry, so he politely refused on the grounds that the girls were too young and completely unsuitable.

Will's refusal causes Caitlyn to re-examine Will as a person.

It's a wonderful psychology of transformation.

Originally, Caitlin's mind has always had the advantage of being noble, and she looked down on Will in her heart, who was born as a thief and a commoner in her family. - True nobility is not only the basis of honor, but also of status and a large number of loyal followers. The Stark family once had only one line left to be wiped out, but as soon as they had the opportunity to ascend to the top, the old subordinates who had been favored in the past were like clouds, and the warriors returned enthusiastically, and the Stark family quickly regained the status and power of the lord of the north, which is the power of the foundation.

But Will doesn't have a background in this, he's a poor bastard.

The poor bastard rejects the marriage of the lord of the northern realm who is 8,000 years old?

Caitlin was deeply frustrated.

Naturally, she couldn't get a glimpse of any of Will's thoughts, and she couldn't understand Will's thoughts. Will is telling the truth, but Caitlin doesn't believe it, and she starts to reconsider politics and future interests.

Thinking about it, Caitlyn was afraid that Will would marry any other nobles.

As long as Stark doesn't marry Will, any other nobleman has a chance. There are also many beautiful women who are both civil and military in other aristocracy. Will was full of praise for Daisy Mormont of the Mormont family.

So, Caitlin was deeply frustrated by Will's refusal, and she quickly adjusted her arrogance and made concessions...... After careful deliberation with Robb, Janie, Sir Gavin, and the Bachelor Lewyn, Caitlyn agreed to marry Sansa and Will.

Sansa's weight is naturally heavier than Mia's!

- Maester Lewyn reminds Caitlyn that the Savage Legion, in the tens of thousands, may be one step ahead of the Wraiths and Ghouls in defeating Winterfell. Only by marrying Will can we ensure that the Great Wall Legion will fight the strange spirits to the death in the dead winter and will never retreat.

As soon as the Great Wall Army retreated, the entire northern border was in no danger to defend, and the strange ghost ghouls drove straight in, and the foundation of the Stark family would be shattered like rubble, and the lives of the people would be ruined. And the one who is most likely to get out of control is the Savage Legion. House Stark needs someone who can restrain the Savage Legion from defecting.

Maester Ruwin's words touched Caitlin Tully.

She is persuaded by Master Luwen with the crisis of survival!

In the face of the crisis of the family's survival, any background is a cloud of smoke.

The Starks need Will to be on the front line and defend the Wall.

Mia Stark's job is very good, and she doesn't have the capital to participate in the battle game of marriage, and the only ones left are Sansa and Arya. The family supports Arya and Will to go south together on the condition that Arya also support Sansa and Will in their marriage.

Arya agreed, she hadn't thought about marrying Will, she hadn't thought about marrying someone else, she and Will were best friends. Although she felt that Sansa was not worthy of Will at all, and that it was a very inappropriate marriage for Will, it was a family affair, and she chose to abide by the family's decision.

Robb, persuaded by Jenny and Maester Lewyn, takes advantage of Arya's ignorance of her love.

As a result, the entire family and the royal family living in Winterfell knew that Will would marry Sansa Stark, and Will was the only one who was kept in the dark.

Everyone is waiting for the day when Will and Arya will return, and Queen Shireen Baratheon will personally witness Sansa and Will's marriage.

Sansa is not jealous of Arya and Will going south together, as Arya goes from opposing her marriage to supporting Will, albeit reluctantly.

In the face of the political marriage, Arya's feelings for Will became a victim of the family. Uncle Bunyan Stark was the first to see Arya's affection for Will unlike any of his other friends, and he knew it, but he didn't come forward to say anything.

Arya is stronger than the two sisters!

*

"Prime Minister, do you have nothing else to say besides going south?" said Her Majesty Shireen.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will agree to me to appoint Jon Snow as the Deputy Commander of the Wall of Desperation, and for the time I am away, Jon Snow will command all the legions of the Wall of Desperation, and he will be the only supreme commander. ”

There was a commotion in the crowd!

Caitlyn looked at Jon Snow, a thorn in her heart that she couldn't pull out. She didn't want Jon Snow to have any development, but she didn't want the power of the Wall of Desperation to fall into the hands of anyone else.

Jon Snow has always been in the Stark bloodline!

Her Majesty Shireen said, "Your Excellency, isn't Lord Robb the deputy commander of the Great Wall of Desperation? Sir Barristan Selmy told me that the commander-in-chief of the Four-Nation Alliance of the Great Wall of Desperation was Robb Stark when my father was there. ”

Her Majesty Shireen clearly meant that she and the royal family preferred Robb Stark as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Wall of Desperation rather than Jon Snow. During Will's absence, the Wall of Desperation should have been led by Robb Stark, not Jon.

The opinions of the royal family members made Will slightly unhappy, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Jon is the night watchman, and Lord Robb is not. Lord Robb is still the Commander-in-Chief of the Coalition, but he is not fit to be the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Wall of Desperation, and neither the Night's Watch nor the Freedmen will be convinced. ”

Jon Snow stepped forward: "Prime Minister, I think Robb is more suitable to be the deputy commander of the Desperate Wall, his military talent is above mine. ”

"Robb needs to contend with the threat from the South, and the North belongs to you, Jon Snow. We can't gather the superior forces of the West, the Vale, the Riverlands, the North and the Great Wall to attack King's Landing, and then attack Storm's End, the Riverlands and Dorne, the civil war will only consume a lot of our strength, I hope that through another powerful way, we can retain most of the South's combat power, but if we don't attack, maybe others will attack us, so we need Robb to go south and fortify the border between the King's Realm and the Riverlands. Jon Snow, on the other hand, needs to return to the north to lead everything. Will raised his hand, "Who's for? who's against?"

As he set off south, there was a sudden voice of Robb commanding the Great Wall Legion, something Will didn't want to hear, and he needed to see who was supporting it.

For the north, Robb did not understand.

Stark is ice and water, and is not suited to fight the same ice and water-the Wraith. Most of the leaders and generals in the Unravels are Starks. Big Gilly and her father, Custer, and the children who were sacrificed to the Wraiths, were all Starks. They all belong to the ice!

The Night King, the thirteenth Commander-in-Chief of the Desperate Great Wall, who once established himself as a king, the corrupted Commander-in-Chief who served the God of Cold as his faith, and the Night King who married a mysterious ice beauty with ice blue eyes, he is the most authentic Stark.

Jon Snow, on the other hand, has a deeper background, has a bigger mission, he's not Stark, he's Targaryen, he's Flame. The only thing that can put an end to ice is fire.

"Those who approve of Jon Snow as the commander-in-chief of the Wall of Desperation, raise your hand and I'll see!" Will raised his hand. He needs to know exactly who disagrees, it's internal politics, and he has to figure out who the friendly enemies are.

This is a small seed, it has to be strangled first!

Bunyan Stark raised his hand, as did Gayle the Mouse. Firekiss Yveret raised her hand, Arya raised her hand, and Will's twelve guards, Podrick, and Rosor the Valyant, all raised their hands.

Of the Stark family, only Bunyan Stark and Arya supported Jon Snow. The rest were Will's own bodyguards and knights.

And among the royal courtiers, not a single one raised their hand.

The situation is clear, where the nobility has the upper hand, everyone supports Robb's leader of the Desperate Wall. Mia Stark, Sansa Stark, Caitlin, Sir Gavin, Ser Barristan Selmy, the Captain of the Kingsguard, and others did not support Jon Snow.

The battle in the future will be a battle between the forces of the Seven Kingdoms and the Great Wall of Desperation, not just the force of the Great Wall of Desperation, so the leadership should respect the opinions of these nobles.

Will didn't want to discuss the issue, nor did he want to cause internal disunity at the beginning of the issue, he looked at Robb and said, "Robb, please trust me, raise your hand!"

Yes, there is no need to care about the thoughts of the nobles in the north, and there is no need to think about the struggle for power after the legions of the larger nobles join in the future.

Will directly challenged Robb by asking him to stand up for Jon Snow.

As long as Robb himself supports it, it is useless to have more pushing forces behind him. Behind Robb stood the aristocratic power, not the aristocratic power of the Four Kingdoms, but also the aristocratic power of King's Landing and the Southerners. Once unified, the aristocratic power was always unified.

This move was very dangerous, because Will had overtaken the royal power of Her Majesty Shireen and was directly leading the distribution of power. Although the Great Wall of Desperation is independent, it has never transcended the royal power. With the support of Stannis I's new laws, the Wall of Desperation came under royal rule.

This would give Will a pretext to transcend the royal power.

In the future, if there is a change in political power, these will be the pretexts for certain enemies hiding in the shadows to attack.

Inside, there is never a shortage of enemies. It's just that when you're fighting together, you don't know who you're going to be in the future.

Her Majesty Shireen didn't have a face yet, she was still young after all, but the fearless Barristan Selmy and Brienne of Tars had cold eyes.

They are all forces that support Robb as one of the supreme leaders of the Great Wall of Desperation.

They didn't want the supreme leaders of the Great Wall to be just officials of the Great Wall itself.

Robb nodded to Will and raised his hand, "I support Jon Snow!"

Will replied to Robb and nodded.

Jon Snow said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Duke Robb, Sir Barristan, I am not qualified to serve as the deputy commander of the Leader of the Great Wall of Desperation. I'm rooting for Robb!"

Scheming Jon!

Sensual Robb!

Both men have low political sensitivity. They do not yet fully understand the influence and complexity of politics. The distribution of interests and power, the subsequent entanglement of interests between those nobles who have made meritorious contributions and those who have died in battle, the future status of the Legion of the Great Wall of Desperation, and the empowerment of the freedmen are all politics.

Many wars have not yet begun, and internal friction has started first!

Will felt the unkind gaze of many people, but he ignored it and quickly cut through the mess: "Your Majesty, Lord Robb supports Jon Snow, I am in favor of it, please make a decision." ”

"Congratulations, Lord Jon!" Shireen glanced at Ser Barristan Sermi, ignoring Ser Barristan's gaze and making her decision as a child.

Jon Snow was stunned!

He didn't expect it at all.

In fact, Will could have returned to the Wall with Jon Snow and the others to announce Jon's official position, but he didn't. The royal power is above the Great Wall Army, and he is now the prime minister of the Seven Kingdoms, guarding the whole territory, and even more under the royal power.

After passing the royal power and returning to the Wall, Will's challenge is negligible.

When he returns from the South, Will will tell Jon Snow the secret of his origins. He is the legal son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark: Jon Targaryen.

He's not just fire, he's the embodiment of ice and fire!
