Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

"Robb, I heard Master Luwin say that my father came back from King's Landing with a letter. What did he say?" Before Robb Stark saw anyone, he had already heard from his little sister Arya Stark. A distant voice.

Soon, Arya, who had short hair, wore light leather armor, and boasted a Braavos stabbing sword at her waist, opened the door and walked into Robb's study. The sweat on her head was still wet, and her slightly rapid breathing condensed into white mist in the air. In this winter when snow had begun to fall, Robb knew without thinking that Arya had just been taking her swordsmanship lessons.

Arya's swordsmanship teacher Jaqen H'ghar is a Night's Watch who previously followed his father Eddard back from the Great Wall. It is said that this man is a Braavos swordsman who committed an offense in King's Landing and was sent to the Night's Watch as a criminal. middle. But he did not stay long in the Night's Watch before the wild men beyond the Wall, led by their so-called 'King Beyond the Wall', breached the Wall. This time, the Night's Watch, which was almost in name only, was completely wiped out, and Jaqen was captured by the wildlings.

Although his father, Eddard Stark, later led his troops to defeat the wildlings and subdue the Great Wall, he was unable to reorganize the Night's Watch when there were few left, and could only leave a northern army behind the Great Wall. garrison. At the same time, the rescued Jaqen somehow won his father's trust and was brought back to Winterfell to become Arya's swordsmanship teacher.

Since then, Arya has been learning the Braavos stabbing sword from this man. Robb Stark dismissed this kind of swordsmanship when he first saw it, thinking it was something women learn, but Then he thought, isn't his sister Arya a woman? Therefore, he accepted the matter calmly and regarded it as just a game for Arya.

But later, Robb gradually realized that things were not that simple. In just over a year, no one in Winter City's attendants and apprentices could rival her. You must know that Arya is only over twelve years old this year, and among the boys she defeated, many were fourteen or five years old.

Her father had wanted her to become a lady like Sansa, marry a great lord when she grew up, and then help manage his castle.

Looking at Arya striding forward, Robb couldn't help but think, but then he shook his head. The war in the past few years has changed too much. Ever since King Robert suddenly arrived at Winterfell, the entire Westeros has been at war, and his father has been fighting in the north and south, going through life and death.

Perhaps compared to those like her mother and Sansa who could only pray all day long and be frightened and secretly sad when they heard news of the crisis on the front lines, a life like Arya's would be more fulfilling and meaningful.

"Robb? What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" Arya subconsciously touched her face.

"No, it's nothing, just a little distracted." Robb immediately regained his composure after hearing this. He is becoming more and more like a great lord. In the first two years, he still needed to manage Winterfell with the help of his mother, but now he can independently manage Winterfell. Handle most things.

"So? What did father write in the letter?"

"One good news and one bad news." Robb Stark sighed lightly, and without waiting for Arya to ask again, he directly handed the letter that had just been unsealed and sealed to Arya directly. Ya.

"From my son Robb." Arya read the letter immediately after receiving it. "In a few days I will lead an army north. Is father coming back?" After reading two sentences, Arya immediately read the letter. She said excitedly, but soon turned to surprise, "Didn't my father say in the last letter that the emperor left him in King's Landing and wanted him to become the next governor of Westeros? Sansa has been thinking about it for a while. For a long time, I wanted to wait for my father to take her to King's Landing."

Robb also knew about this. Ever since Sansa made an engagement with Joffrey and had a dream of being a queen, she no longer looked down on these hillbilly lords in the north, even though she had already arrived in Westeros. It is the traditional age to talk about marriage, but all the suitors were ruthlessly rejected by her.

But now Sansa's dream of becoming a queen is completely shattered. Westeros doesn't even have a king, so where will the queen come from? Unless she marries that emperor, she has overfulfilled her dream. Unfortunately, this is even more impossible, because everyone knows that Ian Darry used the restoration of the Targaryen dynasty as the legal basis to launch his claim to Westeros. , and this claim comes from Daenerys.

"You're leading your troops north instead of heading home. Arya, you have to understand the difference." Robb reminded.

"Before I arrive in the North," Arya did not stop to think, but read directly to the back, "I need you to take action immediately and complete the following things to summon all the vassals immediately and let them do their best. Gather all the soldiers and craftsmen they can and send them north."

Arya was not very interested in the specific orders her father gave Robb, so she read down the lines at a glance, "Besides, I have something very important to tell you. This matter is still a secret. Apart from you, Don’t let anyone know so as not to cause panic.”

"Um" Arya paused, "Should I continue reading?"

"I think anyone what father said should not include you, but you need to swear not to tell it first." Even if you say it, no one may believe it.

"I swear." Seeing Robb's serious expression, Arya swore to the old god seriously.

"Keep reading," Robb said, holding his forehead. "The bad news is next."

"Those savages who fled south did not lie. The great evil is already dormant in the north, and the cold wind has blown. Your Majesty's reinforcements have arrived from Volantis. They are driving a huge fleet and carrying plenty of food." Ellie. Ya read the rest of the letter and then looked up at Robb.

"Aren't you surprised?" Robb asked, looking at Arya's calm expression, "About the Cold God, Night King, White Walkers, Wights, Giants and Ice Spiders in the letter."

"No, the old nurse told us about it when we were little, but you didn't believe it."

"What Old Nan said was just to scare children!" Robb was speechless.

"But father doesn't scare people, and he never makes jokes." Arya didn't know how to refute. She thought for a long time before saying this.

"Yes, father never jokes." Robb seemed a little discouraged when he heard this. He didn't know this.

No matter how absurd and shocking the content of the letter is, the letter is indeed the notes of his father, Eddard Stark, and is stamped with his father's seal, so there is no possibility of it being false.

"Phew," Robb took a deep breath, "remember, don't tell anyone about this."

"Including mother?" Arya asked immediately.

"Yes, including her. I originally wanted to discuss this letter with my mother, but you are right, my father never jokes, so telling them this news will only make them worried." Robb said, and then He explained to himself, "The reason why I am willing to tell you is because you are far stronger than them. I think you are a warrior."

"No, I feel like I'm a stranger." (End of Chapter)
