"Mother is coming?" said Arya, looking forward to it.

"When you come back, you have already alarmed all the people of Winterfell, you left the army and came from under the city wall, and some soldiers have already returned and told Lady Catelyn the news of your return, and Lady Catelyn thinks about it, and knows that you have come to the Sacred Wood Forest. Maester Ruwen said.

"Then come, and hurry up and marry us. Will said, kneeling on one knee in the middle of the three heart trees, facing the heart tree in the center.

Kokokoki's eyes looked at Will, obviously a pair of very young eyes. But the age of those eyes, in fact, I don't know how long it is far away.

The Children of the Forest rely on carving human faces on the Heart Tree to deliver messages and peek into other people's secrets.

Arya knelt down as well, and the two knelt side by side, and Arya also saw the eyes on the heart tree, which were obviously the eyes of a teenager.

Maester Lewyn begins to marry the two, and in the presence of the Heart Tree, the Maester places the book in front of Will and Arya, with Will's right hand on the book and Arya's left hand on Will's right hand.

Maester Ruwen began to sing the prayer. The voice is bleak and rhyming, similar to an old song, dominated by monosyllabic and elongated tails.

Then Maester Ruwen prayed for the two and asked each of them about their vows of love. Will said his vow, and Arya said her vow. Maester Lewyn sang the gods' blessings to the newlyweds, and then, as the two got up, Maester Lewyn took a pair of jade pendants from his pocket, and he placed them on Will and Arya's breasts.

"I declare that Lord Will, Arya Stark, is henceforth married, bearing witness of the tree of the heart, and witness of the gods. Maester Ruwen sang aloud.

The footsteps came quietly, but Will and Arya heard it, and heard the heavy breathing.

Unaware, Master Luwen continued to speak words of blessing and congratulations.

When the man came to the tree, he did not show up, and his breath was short.

Will and Arya stood up and accepted Maester Lewyn's blessing, and the two held hands.

Maester Lewyn said, "Lord Will, Arya, do you need me to go back and tell Lady Caitlyn about your business?"

"No, Bachelor, you go first, and we'll be back later. Will said.

"Bachelor, we'll go tell Mother ourselves. Arya's words were full of joy.

From then on, Will and her were a family, never separated. In life, there will always be a person who belongs to her, and she also belongs to him.

"Good!" said Maester Ruwen. He hugged Will tightly, and then he hugged Arya, reluctantly, his eyes moist, as if he had married his own daughter.

Maester Lewyn turned and staggered away. He was already very old, and Arya's marriage made him seem to be getting older. In the old man's heart, there are too many memories and reluctance.

The bachelor walked away, and was out of sight, and Will said, "Mother, come out." ”

Lady Caitlin Tully, dressed in a maroon cloak, slowly emerged from behind the Heart Tree, revealing half of her face and looking at Arya, her eyes reddening.

"Mother!" Arya rushed over and hugged her mother.

Caitlyn's tears could no longer be held back, and they fell in a flutter. Arya never cried, and this time she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Will stood, his eyes moistened.

This is a good thing, but it always makes people feel mixed feelings, and there are many things that they want to say, but they can't say it. The words that I have thought of are forgotten with one mouth.

The two mothers and daughters hugged and wept behind the tree, and Will turned to face the steaming three-eyed hot spring water, and reached out to wipe away a tear. Perhaps, this will be the last time I shed a tear in my life.

The great war is imminent, who will say goodbye forever, who will survive, the will of the prophet is restrained, and no one can know the end of tomorrow.

The cold god doesn't know, the red god doesn't know, the prophet doesn't know, there is only battle, only time!

The god of time and space watched all this, and suddenly, the gods' ability to predict was curtailed, and they could not predict the future, and the ability of the main god of time and space came from past experience.

Caitlin stabilized her mind, wiped away her tears, smiled, and walked out of the heart tree with Arya.

"Mother!" Will knelt down, "I beg your pardon!"

Caitlyn stood and looked at Will, Will lowered his head, his attitude respectful, and Caitlyn took a deep breath: "Lord Will, from now on, Arya, I will leave it to you." Later, Caitlyn's emotions surged, and her voice choked up, but she forcibly controlled it, not allowing the tail note to reveal her crying.

"Yes, Mother. Will didn't want to say anything grand, "I'll do everything I can to protect Arya and myself." ”

For the sake of the people you love, you must protect yourself. People who have an accident and love us deeply will not be happy.

To protect the people you love, but also to protect yourself, is responsible for the people you love!

That's what Will wants to express.

He won't die in battle, he has to live well, because he has someone he loves.

Caitlyn's eyes turned red again, and she smiled to calm the excitement in her heart, "Lord Will, please get up." ”

Will stood up.

"Your Majesty, Shireen will be in Winterfell in ten days. ”

"Oh, why?" said her?" asked Will quickly. When he left King's Landing, he told Shireen that he hoped that she would stay behind King's Landing, provide strong support for the army, collect supplies, and prepare for the retreat of the people.

Shireen agreed!

"Shireen knows that you and Arya will be back in Winterfell to get married. On the day you left King's Landing, His Majesty released the ravens and asked me to tell you when you returned that she was coming to your wedding, and that she wished to be married to Bran and you in Winterfell. ”

Will froze.

Shireen still has such plans and arrangements?!

It's no wonder that on the day Will and Arya leave King's Landing, the little girl behaves strangely and says that she will come to Winterfell to attend Will and Arya's wedding, and she says that she is waiting for Will's notice in King's Landing!

However, Will and Arya didn't plan to give Shireen notice, and they weren't going to invite anyone to their wedding, a bachelor, three heart trees, a vow, and the wedding was done.

"Shireen is ready to marry Bran Stark. Arya laughed, her little face flushed.

"Mother, does Bran know?" asked Will.

Her Majesty didn't tell Bran, but waited for Bran and her to arrive in Winterfell, and then told him suddenly when the wedding was ready. Caitlin said. Speaking of Bran, Caitlyn smiled at the corner of her mouth, she was very proud of Bran.

"It must be the best wedding ever, Shireen wants to surprise Bran. Arya said, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Yes, Her Majesty Shireen wants to borrow your wedding with Lord Will, and also quietly arrange her own wedding, and then suddenly let the marriage witness announce, invite Bran to the stage, and then, Her Majesty Shireen will say that she will marry Bran today. Caitlin smiled, "It's a pity that your wedding has been completed, and Shireen's careful preparations are about to fail." ”

"It won't be in vain!" said Will, "Mother, you can tell Your Majesty Shireen that Winterfell is holding a wedding for me and Arya, and inviting her to attend, but in fact, the wedding is for her and Bran. Her Majesty Shireen wants to surprise Bran, then, we will surprise Her Majesty Shireen. ”

"That's a wonderful arrangement!" said Arya.

Caitlin was stunned, then laughed, "It's a good idea!" she smiled and smiled, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, "Bran has grown up, Rickon has grown up, Arya has married, and I'm getting old......"

Will Moran, he knew that there was another very ominous word: Winter is also coming!

"Where's Sansa?"

The illegitimate son of Luce Bolton was made his heir by him, and named Rams Bolton, who was very intelligent, attentive, and skilled in swordsmanship, and he was always with Sansa through a difficult ...... Day. Caitlin Tully said.

Arya was silent.

Will took a deep breath, he knew what kind of person Rams Burton was. In this world, Rams Burton is a master of cruelty and blood. Sansa and Rams are good, which doesn't surprise Will, Rams is also a top player who is very good at disguising himself, and he is a man of criminal genius.

But why did he mess with Sansa? Because Sansa has Arya as her sister and a brother-in-law named Will.

These characters, naturally, Rams can't afford to provoke. But that guy will be dormant, and when there is no chance of gaining the upper hand, he will be an extremely cultivated noble son, and, the heir of the Castle of Terror, this identity is also very important in the north.

"Rams Burton is very good, he likes to have hunting dogs. Will said, smiling.

Since my mother also admires Rams Burton, then don't let my mother feel that her heart is blocked, and deal with Rams's affairs quietly.

"Yes, Rams is a master hound, and he has a lot of fierce hounds, and in the wolf forest, his hounds hunted a brown bear. "He skinned the brown bear himself and made Sansa a coat to protect him from the cold." ”

"Castle of Terror?" Arya said unfavorably to Rams, "Skinner!" said Arya.

That's just a way to make the enemy fearful. Caitlin said.

With just one sentence, Will knew that Rams had lived in Winterfell during this time, and that he had captured the hearts of Sansa and Caitlyn.

For those who don't know the depths of Rams's heart, it is true that they cannot see anything wrong with Rams. He did things seamlessly, and turned his cruelty into art.

"Is Rams Burton in Winterfell today?"

"Yes, in the ranks that greet the great army. ”

"He's a young hero, and he wants to help us fight the ghosts on the Great Wall. ”

"He'll go, he's eager to make meritorious deeds. ”

"That's good, we're short of manpower, especially a young aristocratic kid like him. ”

"Is he an illegitimate child?" said Arya.

"He has been given a rightful place by the Earl of Bolton, given the surname of the Bolton family, and he is the heir to the Castle of Terror. Caitlin said.

Will nodded, agreeing with Lady Caitlyn.

*

During the night, Will and Arya emerge from the living room of the main castle together. Will climbed over the fence and jumped into the Sacred Wood Forest. Arya followed, but she didn't know what Will was going to do.

"Will, what are you bringing me to the Divine Wood Forest for?"

In the hall, there were many people congratulating Will and Arya's wedding, and many nobles from the North, as well as the generals and knights of Winterfell, were disturbing and abuzz in an endless stream.

Will and Arya didn't publicize it, but for some reason, everyone knew that he and Arya had become husband and wife, and it was today, under the witness of the Heart Tree in the Sacred Forest.

From the afternoon onwards, Will and Arya received the gifts. In the evenings, more people came to give gifts, from generals to soldiers, from nobles to commoners.

Will and Arya couldn't push it, but Will had more important things to do tonight, so he found a reason to take Arya out of the main castle and climb over the wall into the Divine Wood Forest.

Arya asked Will what she was bringing her to the Sacred Wood Forest for, but Will didn't answer, took Arya's little hand and left.

There was a lot of snow, and the sacred forest was snow-white, and the big trees were covered with thick snow. The two of them walked fast on the heavy snow, and the speed was extremely fast!

"Where are you going?" asked Arya, in a low voice.

Will still didn't answer, and the two walked through the Sacred Wood Forest, through the passage of the glass garden, and across the street, the Stark family's burial cellar.

Will took Arya's hand and headed straight for the tomb.

"What for?" said Arya.

"There's a big secret down there, it's time for you to know. Will said.

"What's the secret?"

"One is a secret about Winterfell's hot springs, and the other is a secret about the undead. ”

"Winterfell Hot Springs?"

Will and Arya come to the gate, which is locked and chained. But Will stretched out his hand and opened the chain, and the lock was not really locked, but only hung on virtually.

Arya was amazed.

The Stark family's tomb is not their own family, and they are usually very well guarded. Even if the army enters Winterfell today and distracts the soldiers, the chains and locks must be locked.

But no!

The two of them dodged in, and to Arya's surprise, it had been cold inside the tomb, colder than outside, and she had this biting cold feeling every time she entered, but this time, it was warm inside.

In fact, it's not that the tomb is getting warmer, it's that winter has arrived, and it's getting cold outside!

The two of them walked down the steps, Will lit a torch, Arya was surprised again, she could see that someone had prepared a torch for them in advance, and Will walked all the way and lit the torches in the tomb one by one.

With a torch in each hand, the two walked past the rows of stone statues. They walked past the statue of their aunt Lyanna Stark, past the statue of their father Eddard Stark, past one silent stone statue after another, and behind each stone statue lay an ancestor of the Stark family.

Arya suddenly stood up and clasped Will's hand, "Who?" she asked softly. ()
