The nights in Riverrun are warm.

Winterfell was as cold as winter, frosty in the morning and cold in the night, but the night in the Riverlands was like spring in March.

Melisandre stared at the flames in her cabin, and her face looked even more beautiful in the light of the fire.

Out of reverence for the Seven Gods, Melisandre no longer enforces the Red God Faith.

But her Hand of the Flame is still growing rapidly.

The first is that the criminals and death row inmates are willing to join her team, and the second is that the belief of the Red God will indeed have miracles. This is something that the Seven Gods are far from being able to do. The magic scrolls and spells of the priests of the Seven Gods had little immediate effect, but with a pile of flames, Melisandre was able to show the power of miracles to the faithful.

On the contrary, her low-key behavior has developed a belief in the army.

The descendants of the Hand of the Holy Fire have formed a legion, a legion of 4,000 men that cannot be ignored. In other legions, there were more and more soldiers and centurions who believed in the Red God's faith, and some knights also began to believe in the Red God.

During the reign of Stannis I, Melisandre made great changes when she demolished the Sanctuary at the Red Keep and built the Red Temple and the Crimson Square, which led to the deaths of the King and Queen and many others, including the Kingsguard.

In the face of the seven gods enshrined in the temple anywhere, she will no longer call them false gods, nor will she tell the believers of the red gods to spit on the seven gods. Believing in the people of the Seven Gods, she also learned to give respect.

As a result, the arming of her Hand of the Flame has grown rapidly. More and more people are willing to join her Red God Faith team, and her influence grows day by day, from the original death row convict to the current soldier knight.

While the people of Riverrun were asleep, Melisandre was still staring at the flames.

Outside, her hand of the Holy Fire guards her door.

Now, she has the power to protect her.

Thoros, a red-robed monk from the free trade city-state of Mill on the other side of the Narrow Sea, was once a courtier of Robert I and Stannis I, and when the Golden Knights and Will reached a peace agreement, Thoros was released by Leo and returned to the army, and soon became the commander of Melisandre's Hand of Fire.

There were not many people who had come to Riverrun to watch the jousting trial of Arya and Jaime, thirty in all, and they were all under the jurisdiction of Thorus. The rest of the thousands of Sacred Flame Hands have followed the large army of the Northern Frontier to the north, and the destination: the Great Wall of Desperation.

The Seven Kingdoms, with the exception of Dorne, have been unified by Will, the last Golden Knights have been conquered by Will and Daenerys, and King's Landing has returned to Her Majesty Shireen Baratheon, only because of the jousting trial between Jaime and Arya, Shireen's return to the Red Keep has been delayed.

Returning to the Red Keep in King's Landing from Winterfell, Her Majesty Shireen will be walking for a month and a half at the earliest, with a large number of courtiers, Kingsguards, Bachelors and servants. In order to get the exact news of Arya's and Jaime's jousting trial, Her Majesty Shireen did not leave.

Melisandre looked at the scene in the flames very calmly, she stretched out her hand, picked up the iron hook by the brazier, and gently stirred the coals of the fire, the figure in the flames became clearer, and she saw the face of the man in the flames: Lord Will.

At Will's side, Melisandre's already failed career is reborn, and her power of faith and miracles is getting stronger, all of which have a lot to do with Will's actions to turn the world in a trajectory.

Melisandre didn't want Will to do anything, her faith needed to have a right direction, and Will was the one to show her the way.

However, Melisandre does not approve of Will and Arya walking together, because Arya is strong in killing, and she should be equipped with a weaker man, and Will is also strong, so Sansa is more suitable for Will. If two people who are both strong are together, it is likely that something will cause a rift that cannot be compromised, and two very weak people being together will only make the flame of fate weaker, and only a strong and weak marriage may be the best.

Sansa Stark takes care of the family at home and has children, and Will can go to war outside with peace of mind. But with Arya, both of them will go to the battlefield, not to mention the difference between family and country, even if they have children, they will be affected. In the battle with the strangers, everyone's life is in danger.

Melisandre watched Will and Arya cooking raw rice in the flames, and she was a little surprised by Will's initiative, knowing that it was Jaime who knocked Arya down, and Will's soul was touched. Melisandre was holding Will's hand, and she had a glimpse of Will's inner secret.

When Arya is knocked out by Jaime, Stark's family is out of control, Duke Horst's family is out of control, and Will is completely seized by Arya's safety.

Everyone in the family and relatives loved Arya.

Arya would be a very beautiful woman with long maroon hair and no armor and men's clothes, and she would be a very beautiful woman, compared to Daenerys. In the flames, Melisandre saw two identical faces: Lyanna Stark and Arya Stark. Lyanna Stark is Jon Targaryen's mother.

Lyanna Stark, who wears a crown of winter snow roses and is as beautiful as a fairy in the sky, causes Prince Rhaegar to secretly divorce Princess Elia Martell, then elopes and marries her, and because of her, the kingdom is abandoned by Rhaegar and the kingdom. Beauty and Jiangshan, Rhaegar chose the latter.

Lyanna's fiancé, Robert Stark, also rebelled against Lyanna and eventually killed Rhaegar and overthrew the Targaryen dynasty.

Because of Lyanna, the kingdom changed hands. The person who is fighting for the country is Lyanna Stark. It's just that the reward for the victor is the kingdom, and the beauty also dies because of this battle.

If the king is domineering, heroic, and beautiful, it is Daenerys. But when it comes to both civil and military, pure ice and snow, fluttering like a fairy, and captivating the country and the city, it is Lyanna.

And Lyanna's shadow is Arya.

It's a pity that Lyanna is a noble lady and Arya is a noble wild boy. The two women have the same face, but their temperament and personality are very different. Lyanna is also the blood of the wolf, but she still learns embroidery, is a female red, beautiful and dignified, can read, write, sing and play the piano, and Arya is only left with the blood of the wolf, as for reading and writing to learn embroidery, I'm sorry, her dexterous hand will immediately become the hand of a blacksmith and a stonemason, and any female red poetry and song are not interested.

Her short hair, wildness, and men's military uniform belie her beauty. Since she was a child, her face has been dirty, her hair has been cut into a short hair like a boy's dog, and the shoes, clothes and pants on her body are not only dirty, but also men's clothes that are convenient for movement, not elegant women's clothes for ladies.

The completely different outfits, hair accessories, and wild temperament make anyone ignore Arya's beauty, and her beauty is a copy of Lyanna Stark.

Because of Daenerys' arrival, Melisandre saw Jon Snow of the Wall of Despair through the flames, and she also saw Jon's father and mother Zardon in the Crimson Mountains of the Elysium Tower, and she was taken aback when she saw Lyanna's face in the flames.

Aside from her ladylike temperament, Lyanna is too much like Arya!

In Stark's house, there is a theory that Arya is the reincarnation of her aunt Lyanna.

The blood of the wolf may not be safe, but it may be even more dangerous.

Chapter 0388 A Gentle Kiss

Melisandre watched in the flames as Will and Arya did something out of the ordinary, and she didn't go over to stop it. In accordance with the code of conduct of the past, Melisandre had gone and knocked on Arya's door, interrupting the couple's union.

But after the tragedy of the Great Baelor of King's Landing, Melisandre corrected her usual practice and decided to respect all the rules of the Seven and the Old Gods.

This kind of thing happens, seen through the flames, this is the will of the red god, but to interfere is to publicize the will of the red god, which is not good. She had already privately persuaded Will to make his own decision, and Will made his decision. Melisandre could see that Will also had an unpredictable judgment about the future, and he cherished the present and was unwilling to put all the good things into the future.

Melisandre fulfilled her persuasion without interfering, for there were many things that had been forcibly interfered in the past, which had caused her great suffering, and had almost cost her her her life.

Melisandre did what she had to do, and the rest was left to the god Will and Arya believed in: the Old Gods of the North.

Suddenly, the flames jumped, and another figure appeared: Lady Caitlin Tully.

Melisandre was a little surprised, and the flames in her jewel-like eyes danced like red elves. She tilted her head slightly, looking at Caitlin Tully in the flames. Mrs. Caitlin tossed and turned in the room, unable to sleep.

Melisandre looked at Caitlin in silence, she knew there was something she needed to do tonight.

In the midst of the flames, Lady Caitlyn got up and stood at the bedroom window, where the moonlight shone down from the sky, and the night wind blew Caitlin's long maroon hair, and she shivered, but refused to dress. She looked at the night in a daze, her eyes full of melancholy.

Melisandre was previously unable to see the details of her character in the flames. As her flame grew stronger, so did her ability to communicate the power of the Red God, and her ability to see the details of the flames grew stronger until she could easily see all the details of the characters.

Melisandre stared at the flames for a moment, then she stood up and opened the door. The two Flame Hands at the door immediately bowed. The red-robed and red-robed red-hatted Flame Guards were pitch black at night, just two black shadows, which looked even more mysterious.

Melisandre walked silently and ghostly to Lady Catelyn's room.

After a while, Lady Caitlyn and Melisandre returned, and the two of them sat down by the brazier, and Melisandre pointed out how to look at the flames, and Catelyn's eyes widened, and she saw Will and Arya doing male and female things.

Mrs. Caitlyn couldn't believe her eyes.

"Who are these two?" her voice trembled.

Her hands were shaking, too.

"Will and Arya. Melisandre said lightly. She had big eyes, bright red lips, a pretty face, and a look of pity.

Lady Catelyn looked at Melisandre, and even though she was looking at Melisandre face to face, Lady Catelyn did not know that the Priestess Melisandre in front of her was none other than Priest Melisandre, whom her husband Eddard Stark had wanted during his lifetime, an evil wizard who had ruined the lives of kings and queens.

Can!

There was a slight knock on the door, but it was like a shock.

For powerful people like Will and Arya, any slight sound would be amplified several times over.

They were taken aback by the knock on the door.

The two men immediately stopped all movements.

The frantically burning blood began to cool down dramatically.

Even if someone knocks on the door, it's impossible not to make footsteps.

But neither Will nor Arya heard the footsteps coming by.

This made the two people who were shocked feel that something was unusual.

No matter how fanatical they are, they won't fail to hear the footsteps of the door.

But the other party came silently and knocked on the door.

Just a moment.

Will and Arya get dressed at a dizzying pace.

It's not an auditory hallucination, and both are pretty sure of that.

They didn't make a sound when they got dressed, they went down to the ground, put on their boots, and made up their beds in a mess. With their stealth ability, they can approach the Shadow Lynx without being noticed, and under the Shadow Lynx's eyelids, they can eat silently without being heard by the Shadow Lynx.

The other party was silent and very calm. It was as if they were patiently waiting for them to get up, get off the floor, get dressed and make their beds.

As Arya's door opened, Will lit a small candle.

He heard the breathing of someone outside the door.

The sound of breathing was only one person, and the breathing was heavy.

But Will felt like two people were coming.

The door opened, and Lady Caitlin Tully stood in the doorway, and beside her, a taller man, his hood covering her face.

“...... Mother ......!" Arya felt her mouth dry, her lips bitter, and her face hot.

"You ......" Catelyn looked at Arya, her gaze slowly turning to Will, "Lord Will......"

Will's eyes were calm, and all his emotions of trepidation and shame were swept away when Caitlyn looked at him, and he said lightly, "I will marry Arya as my wife, and the engagement will take place tomorrow as usual." ”

He changed his mind.

The original plan was for Arya to tell Lady Caitlyn that he and Daenerys were riding griffons and dragons to the Wall. But things suddenly changed, and Lady Caitlyn came, so don't let Arya go and run away on her own.

"You promised Sansa Stark. Lady Caitlin tried to keep her emotions in check. But her voice was still shaking.

"When Arya fell to Jaime's sword, I swore I didn't want to lose her again. Will said lightly, "Arya Stark is my wife, the only one. Even if the shadow lynx speaks, the fish walk on the shore, the stars fall into the sea, and the fireplace in winter is extinguished, Arya Stark is my only choice. Lady Caitlin, please forgive me for failing Sansa!"

Arya took a step back and reached out to take Will's hand, she looked up into Will's eyes, stood on tiptoe and kissed Will's lips tenderly. (https:)
