"What's the matter?" Arya has never heard her father talk in detail about the competition in the spring in 281 years of the Aegon calendar-in Herrenborg.

"The patriarch of Herrenborg, Earl Walter Hean, invited a craftsman to weave a sapphire winter rose wreath for his daughter. This wreath symbolizes the crown of love and beauty and is guarded by five knights. In the conference, whoever can win the championship in the end has the right to dedicate the crown of love and beauty to the girl he thinks is the most beautiful in the audience. If the champion gives the crown to a lady who already has a family, or the champion is married but Failure to give the laurel crown to his wife would be a huge scandal."

"Since the tournament was launched, only six ladies from the Seven Kingdoms have won the title of Queen of Love and Beauty. The last Queen of Love and Beauty was the champion that Jora Mormon defeated his competitors. The laurel of love and beauty was given to Linnis Haytar."

"Jorah Mormon? Just to escape her father's capture, Jorah Mormon escaped to the other side of the narrow sea?"

"It's him. On the night he dedicated the queen laurel to Madam Linnice Haitar, he lived with Linnice Haitar."

"Oh!"

"Jorah Mormont won the championship with extraordinary performance because of Linnis Haitar, but he also fled overseas because of Linnis Haitar."

"why?"

"Linice Haitar is a very beautiful woman. She is pampered and has a luxurious life. She abruptly drags Jora Mormon into a pauper. In order to make money for Linnis to squander, Jora Mormon is talented. Started a slave business and was wanted by Duke Ed."

"I heard that he escaped with Linnis Hytal."

"Yes, he fled overseas and became a mercenary. The money earned by the mercenaries was not enough for Linnis Haitar's expensive expenses. Soon after overseas, he was dumped by Linnis Haitar. The woman left with a businessman when he went out to take on the mercenary mission."

"He married a woman who couldn't endure hardships together." Arya said, "but you don't have to worry about this. Although Sansa is not worthy of you, she has a very good heart. It won't be because you have no money in the future. Leaving you."

Wil haha ​​smiled: "I will have no money in the future, or maimed in the war, Sansa won't leave me?"

"No money, no, but if you are disabled, I don't know. Sansa likes heroes. If you are not a hero, I don't think she can accept it."

"You mean she will divorce me?"

Arya thought for a while: "I don’t know. Although she is my sister, I don’t know her at all. It’s not good for me to say this behind my back. But don’t worry, you are my friend. Whatever it becomes, I will take care of you."

"Do you care about me if you are disabled?"

"No matter what you become, as long as you are alive, I will take care of you."

Will looked sideways at Arya, and the little girl took it for granted that there was no city.

What she said is true!

Will felt warm in his heart.

For the first time, he had the feeling of having relatives in this world.

Arya is very loyal.

Will chuckled: "It looks like I'm much luckier than Jora Mormont. Sansa's beauty is not worse than Linnis Haytar, and I also got the friendship of your little friend."

"Jorah Mormont must not be able to survive now. Linnis Haitar's departure must have dealt a huge blow to him."

"Yes. After Linnice Haitar abandoned him, he always wanted to get pardon for returning home. So he became the little bird of the eight-claw spider Varys on the other side of the narrow sea, and sold information to Varys in exchange for it. The king’s pardon opportunity. Now Jora Mormont is following Daenerys Targaryen, and he is in love with Daenerys."

"Really?" Arya's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's true, because Daenerys looks a lot like his ex-wife Linnis Haytar."

Arya's eyes widened.

"Don't be so surprised, what I said is true."

"Hmm!"

"Do you know who you look like?"

"Like who?"

"Leanna Targaryen."

"You haven't seen my aunt again."

Will smiled: "I have seen it."

"How could you have seen it? Have you also been to the Hellenborg tournament?"

"In such a grand competition, all the nobles from all over the country are present. As a thief, like a wandering singer, how could it be absent?"

"My aunt can't look like me, I'm not a lady at all. I heard my father say that Aunt Leanna likes flowers, especially the winter snow rose that grows in Winterfell. But I don't like winter snow rose at all. , I don’t like any flowers."

"Haha. All you need to do is keep your shawl and long hair, put on a beautiful skirt, put on light makeup, put on lipstick, and walk as elegant and dignified as Sansa. You are a Leona Stark.

"You laugh at me?" Arya frowned.

"I didn't make fun of you. In the tournament eighteen years ago, three people made a sensation in the country. The first one was the smiling tree knight who defeated three knights in a row and escaped from the tournament field. King Iris Targaryen quit watching the game.”

"The second person is to knock down Bronze Earl Jon Royce, Brandon Stark the wolf, Sir Arthur Dane, and Sir Barristan Selme in the final. Prince Regga Targaryen. He finally won the spear championship in the tournament. He walked through the formation of five guardian knights and removed the queen crown that symbolized love and beauty from the daughter of Earl He'an. The laurel crown was placed on Leona Stark’s lap in full view. At that moment, the audience was quiet, as if time had stopped. The names of him and Leona Stark immediately made a national sensation within a few days. This This incident laid a hidden danger for the war of usurpers a year later."

Arya was silent. She doesn't know what the war should be like, she only knows the end of the war.

"One year later, Rega Targaryen took the Royal Forest Guard at Dawn Excalibur, Sir Arthur Dane and Sir Oswell He'an, and came out to play Leona after they met in the river, but I would rather believe It was an appointment between the two. Afterwards, Rega and Diana disappeared. The real reason for the two missing is that Leanna is pregnant with Rega's child."

"Jon Targaryen," Arya said.

"Yes. There were rumors immediately after Rega and Leanna disappeared. The most widespread claim is that Rega took Leona abducted. The news of Leanna's disappearance spread to Bu, who was rushing to Runliu to marry Caitlin Tully. In Langdon Stark’s ears, Brandon the wild wolf immediately diverted his way from the welcoming road and went straight to King’s Landing. Among the four companions-the son of the valley, Albert Alling (the nephew of Jon Alling, the heir of the valley) , At the time, Jon Allyn had no descendants), Kyler Royce (the Vale Royce family), Jeffrey Melist (the Hejian Haijiang city) and Brandon’s attendant Ethan Glow Accompanied by Buddha (the Glover family of Wolfwood Forest Castle, whose family crest is a steel fist), Brandon rushed to the gate of the Red Fort and shouted Rega to come out for a duel."

"He is not Rega's opponent!" Arya did not forget that Rega defeated Blinden Stark in the tournament.

"Regar is not in King's Landing, but the Mad King is here. Iris II immediately arrested Brandon and his party on the charge of "intent to murder the crown prince" as treason, and sent ravens to the father of every accompanying person to enter Beijing urgently for his children. Pleaded guilty. After Rickard Stark and the others arrived in the capital, the Mad King could not help but immediately ordered everyone to be executed. Duke Rickard refused to accept and demanded a trial by force, but the Mad King agreed."

"Well, I have basically heard of these things," Arya said. "The mad king said nothing, claiming that the samurai representing the royal family was a raging fire, and then he was **** and hung upside down on a wildfire for barbecue. At the same time, Brandon, with his hands tied behind his neck, was wrapped in a Tylosi gallows. He put a long sword deliberately in front of him. The Mad King said that as long as Blinden can get the long sword, he can cut Rickard's rope to save his father. Brandon desperately walked forward to get the sword I rescued my grandfather, but the rope around his neck was not long enough. He was finally strangled to death by himself."

Arya stopped, the story was too tragic. Will peeked at Arya. Arya was free, but her eyes were cold.

After Blinden was strangled to death, Ricard was also burned to death, and the rest of his followers were also burned to death by the Mad King without trial. Only Ethan Glover was left by the Mad King as a witness and was imprisoned in the black jail of the Red Fort until after the victory of the Usurper’s War, Ed Stark led his troops into the Throne Hall, Ethan Glover Was released from the black jail.

Ethan Glover joined Ed Stark's team when he was released from prison. Later, he became Ned's companion to the Tower of Bliss to rescue Leanna. He died in the battle between the Tower of Bliss and three members of the Imperial Guard.

After the Mad King burned everyone to death, he refused to give up. He was learning that Leanna’s second brother Ed Stark and fiance Robert Baratheon were both at the time of the Valley Lord and guarding Jon Allyn in the east. When the Duke served as his servant, the Mad King Feiya ordered Duke Ailin to lay down the heads of the two.

Duke Ailin, who had no children, always regarded the two adopted sons as his own sons. Duke Ailin couldn't bear it and called his vassals to rebel. The Northern Territory, Stormlands, and Hejian immediately responded. The Seven Kingdoms suddenly turned against four. The war of usurpers broke out.

At the beginning of the war, the Mad King thought that the insurgents were vulnerable and would be suppressed soon. However, after Prime Minister Jon Clinton was defeated in the Tolling Bell because he refused to harm civilians, the Four Way Rebels successfully joined forces and the situation began to reverse. At this time, Rega was still missing.

The whereabouts of the two iron guards (both senior leaders of the royal army), Arthur Dane and Oswell Hean, are missing, and the army has no leader. The anxious Mad King immediately dispatched the Iron Guard Captain "White Bull" Sir Jelo Haital out to find someone. Soon Rega appeared single-handedly and took over the counterinsurgency army.

The first thing Rega did when he came back was to persuade his father to agree to all the conditions of Taiwen in the West, put down his body and ask for help from the guardian of Taiwen Lannister in the West.

The second thing, Rega led his army northward to fight the rebel army. The 40,000 Royal Army and the 35,000 Rebel Army encountered and engaged in a battle at the Trident River Ferry. Rega kept stabbing Robert during a single duel with Robert, forcing Robert to retreat again and again. When he finally pierced Robert's body with his spear, Robert, who was desperate, hit his chest with a hammer in a defeated style. Rega fell into the river and was instantly submerged by the river.

Rega died in battle, and the royal army was defeated, and the rebel army won a complete victory. The river beach where Rega died in the battle became the now-famous ruby ​​beach, and hundreds of rubies on his chest armor also fell into the water.

Duke Tywin Lannister, who had been sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, finally agreed to the conditions of the mad king to send troops east to King's Landing and rushed to King Qin. Because Robert was seriously injured in the battle with Regar, Ed Stark took over the command of the rebels and led the troops to attack King's Landing with all their strength in order to take the capital before the arrival of reinforcements from the West.

The Aide Army launched a rapid march on the King's Road and the Western Border Army on the Golden Mile, and both sides wanted to reach King's Landing before the other.

When Ed arrived at King's Landing, he was a step slower after all, and Taiwen's army had entered the city.

King Qin's Western Army suddenly turned back in the city and slaughtered King's Landing. The mad king died under the sword of his personal iron guard James Lannister. All members of the royal family were detained except Queen Layla (who was pregnant with Daenerys at the time) and the second prince Viserys Targaryen, who had already fled. Killed by cruel means.

This incident turned Eddy and Lannister against each other.

The wounded Robert who rushed to the West Territory Army expressed his allegiance to him and was crowned as king. However, Ed, who values ​​honor, could not accept Robert's pardon for the Lannister family’s murder of the Targaryen children. Tolerating the Kingslayer James continued to serve in the Iron Guard, he and Robert had their first break in their lives.

Seeing that the two brothers were cut off from this, the adoptive father Jon Allyn also stood on Robert's side to persuade Ed Stark, and Ed was angry and led the troops to the south to clean up the battlefield. After helping Stannis Baratheon to lift the siege of Wind's Breath, which had been besieged for more than a year, Eddy worked with Holland Reid, William Dustin, Ethan Glover, and Martin Accompanied by six companions, Kelso, Theo Woll and Mark Leswell, they continued to search for his sister in the south.

On the Prince's Pass in the Crimson Mountains in the north of Dorn, they found a small stone tower-the Tower of Bliss. Leanna is in the tower, and there are three Royal Forest Guards stationed outside the tower-the Iron Guard Captain Sir Haytall, Sir Oswell Rivervin, and Rega’s best friend "Dawn Sword" who were sent by the Mad King to find Rega before "Sir Arthur Dane.

After Ed was refused to persuade each other to retreat, fierce fighting took place between the two sides.

Because it was to save his younger sister, Ed rejected the one-on-one duel battle book proposed by Dawn Excalibur. Seven people shot together. Three of them besieged Dawn Excalibur and the other four besieged the other two. With an absolute advantage, the two battle groups fought fiercely at the same time.

When there were four people left on Ed's side, the only one left was Arthur Dane, the sword of dawn.

Four men besieged the Excalibur of Dawn, but they were killed by Arthur Dane one after another. In the end, Ed Stark was wounded and Holland Ride was barely moved.

And Arthur Dane only injured his shoulder slightly.

*

The name of Sir Arthur Dane’s Dawn Sword is derived from his two-handed giant sword "Dawn", which is a two-handed giant sword made of meteorite, heavy and extremely sharp, not inferior to Valyria. Steel sword.

Arthur Dane's deeds are countless, one of which is to destroy the gang, the Royal Forest Brotherhood. He was the common people and led the army to suppress bandits, so he was loved by the common people. In the end, he killed the infamous Smiling Knight in the decisive battle, eradicating the Brotherhood in one fell swoop. After winning, he personally canonized James Lannister as a knight.

He once faced Prince Rega Targaryen in the tournament in Wind's Breath. In the fierce battle, Arthur broke twelve spears and finally lost. In the Helenberg Tournament, he was again defeated by Prince Rega in the Pike Tournament.

In terms of swordsmanship, Rega lost to Arthur; but on the spear, Rega was a little stronger than Arthur.

Dane has always been admired, not only because of his sword skills, but also because of his kindness, integrity and nobility.

*

Ed, knowing he could not defeat Arthur Dane, mustered up the courage to fight Arthur, but the difference in martial arts between the two was too great. Ed's sword was repeatedly beaten by Arthur Dane, arms, thighs, and calves. He and his back were cut again and again by Arthur. Every time Arthur's sword hit Ed's throat, Arthur would stop and walk away, beckoning Ed to pick up the sword and continue.

I don't know if it was God's will or Arthur knew that the Targaryen dynasty had been destroyed, and his best friend Rega was dead, so he had actually germinated death.

In the fight between Ed and Arthur Dane again, Holland Reid, who had fallen on the ground without moving, sat up and quietly grabbed a long sword. When Arthur retreated, Holland’s The long sword pierced Arthur's right leg.

Arthur circled the long sword and flew the long sword in Holland Reed's hand. When he turned around to fight Ed, Ed's long sword hit his throat.

Arthur dropped the long sword in his hand and knelt on one knee. His right leg was no longer able to stand. Facing Ed, he showed his famous and unrestrained smile: "Come on, Ed!"

"I won't kill you!" Ed said.

"Don't shame my honor, Ed."

"You can go back to your Starfall City, or continue to be the Royal Forest Iron Guard in the Throne Hall. You have this qualification."

"My king is dead, my country is dead. Ed, it is my honor to die in your hands. I only ask you one thing."

"Please order!"

"After I die, please take this'Dawn' sword back to my family and take it to Starfall."

"Okay, I promise you!" Eddy's sword-holding hand burst into blue veins.

*

After Arthur fell into a pool of blood, Ed, who ran up to the tower, found his sister lying on the "bed of blood". Leanna had a high fever, was weak in strength, and her eyes were full of fear. After seeing her brother, Leona's fear was wiped out.

"Ed, promise me, give me a promise!"

Ed, eyes bewildered by tears, nodded in agreement.

Leanna smiled and squeezed her brother's hand and passed away at the age of 16.

When Holland Reid was struggling to walk into the Tower of Bliss, he saw a newly born child in Ed’s arms. Real name Jon Targaryen.
