This beautiful three-masted merchant ship that Clay hired with a lot of money is called the Wind Witch and comes from Braavos.
Standing on the deck of the three-masted merchant ship, Robb looked at the city of King's Landing getting further and further away in his field of vision, feeling extremely emotional in his heart.
Within a few days of coming to King's Landing, he had experienced many betrayals, sacrifices, killings, etc. This was something he had never imagined in his previous life.
Only with experience can there be growth. He has gained many new understandings about how to view the world correctly and integrate into the world.
"Brother, can we still see our father? Why didn't you take him away by force just now?
Also, what should I do if Arya disappears?"
Sansa approached Robb from behind. Thinking of her father and sister in King's Landing, she couldn't help but ask softly.
"Sansa, what are you talking about? Of course I can see my father.
He! He got the result he wanted and kept the honor of himself and the Stark family.
At that time, I also thought about taking him away by force, but not only would he not be happy about it, but he would live with endless regret and guilt in the future."
Robb turned to look at Sansa beside him, put his arm around her thin shoulders, and continued,
"There will be nothing wrong with Arya for the time being. When I am free, I will go to Bolavos in person to pick her up!
Our family will definitely be reunited! I promise!"
"Um!"
Sansa, who had been on tenterhooks these past few days, rested her head on her brother's shoulder, feeling extremely safe and secure.
…
The subsequent cleaning work of the Red Fort was not completed until late at night.
Jaime came to Cersei's palace, and Joffrey happened to be there too. After he relayed Eddard's words, Cersei looked thoughtful, while Joffrey was excited.
Because today Robb Stark and his giant wolf can come and go freely in King's Landing and the Red Keep, the royal family has lost all face.
Joffrey, who was eager to have everyone affirm him, immediately said to Jaime: "Tomorrow, tomorrow let Eddard Stark be in the Baelor Statue Square in the Baelor Cathedral.
In front of everyone, admit treason and recognize me as my father's legal heir."
"But I feel something is wrong. Ed Stark can escape. He sticks to his honor and refuses to escape. I can understand that.
However, his willingness to admit treason is absolutely inconsistent with his character."
After hearing Joffrey's order, Jaime shook his head and said to Cersei, who looked thoughtful.
Cersei picked up a glass of wine on the table, took a sip with her red lips, and said in an indifferent tone: "James, do you think Eddard Stark is a person who can conspire?"
"Oh, if his stubborn mind is playing tricks, we should be locked up in a dark prison now."
"So, if he says he is willing to plead guilty, then he will definitely keep his promise, right?"
"Well, I think he does!"
Hearing her dear brother's answer, Cersei smiled and said, "Well, you can go and reply to him. As long as he does what he says, we will allow him to put on black clothes and return to the northern realm full of ice and snow wasteland."
"But, I still feel something is wrong."
"Jaime, his son has messed up King's Landing and the Red Keep. If he doesn't do something to make up for it.
Then, once Joffrey succeeds to the throne, he will definitely attack the Stark family. By then, there may be no Stark family anymore.
The son has done something wrong, and as a father he is here to repay it!"
Cersei said rather confidently.
"Well, if that's the case, it does make sense. Compared with honor, your family and clan are indeed more important.
I will go see him now and ask Captain Barristan to do the security work for tomorrow's trip."
James heard her analysis, nodded in reply, turned around and walked out of the room.
"Mother, after Ed Stark recognizes me as the legal heir tomorrow, can I be crowned and become the king?"
After Jaime closed the door, Joffrey asked Cersei with a face full of joy.
Cersei looked at her son's handsome face and smiled softly: "Yes, no one in the Seven Kingdoms will question Ed Stark's honor. When you are crowned king, no one can bully us anymore.
Got it!"
Early the next morning, a large number of golden robes sent out by Cersei announced loudly at the seven city gates and all the busy streets.
The former Hand of the King, Eddard Stark, will confess his treason at noon in the Statue Square of the Great Sept of Baelor.
This news instantly aroused the emotions of the civilians in King's Landing. Under Cersei's deliberate propaganda, all civilians knew that the giant armored wolf belonged to Robb Stark.
The casualties and losses it caused were all attributed to the Stark family. If Robb and the others were still in King's Landing, these civilians would only be in awe and would never dare to express their anger.
But they have already left, and Ed Stark, who will plead guilty today, instantly becomes their outlet.
One by one, they called their friends and headed towards the Great Cathedral of Baelor, hoping to get a seat early so they could see the show up close.
Night Watchman Yoren had just sent away the few criminals in the Red Keep dungeon and completed the handover procedures when he heard the news.
He had great respect for Duke Eddard who tried his best to help him. When he heard the news that he was about to plead guilty, he couldn't help but frown and followed the crowd towards the Great Sept of Baelor.
In an alley in Flea Bottom, a burly middle-aged man was holding the hands of a little beggar with a dirty face, and was having an intense conversation.
"Didn't you say that as long as you have money, you can kill anyone? I want to kill Cersei and Joffrey."
The little beggar said loudly and excitedly to the burly man.
"Someone cannot afford the price. Therefore, the Red God will not accept someone's sacrifice."
When the burly man heard this, he smiled and answered softly.
"Jiaqen, what do you want to do by kidnapping me? If you want money, send me back to the north. My brother will give you many golden dragons."
Seeing the lanky man's tepid look, the little beggar slowly calmed down his excitement and asked in a confused tone.
"Follow someone back to the Courtyard of Black and White, and the girl's brother will naturally come to find you."
Jaqen still smiled and answered Arya in a soft tone.
Arya, who was waiting for Robb on the inner city wall, suddenly saw darkness. When she woke up again, this burly man who called himself Jaqen was in front of her.
But the other party neither hurt her nor allowed her to leave. Arya, who had just heard the news about her father, was so excited that she was about to run away, and this was the scene before her.
"I'm going to see my father."
"Yes, the girl must follow someone's instructions, otherwise she will fall asleep again."
"I see."
After Arya and Jaqen made an agreement, they walked towards the Great Sept of Baelor together.
At noon, the Great Sept of Baelor,
Belle Sculpture Square is a square covered with white marble.
In the center of the square stands a huge statue of Baelor I. It stands calmly on the pedestal with a compassionate expression on its face.
Cersei and Joffrey stood on the top floor of the forum in the square, with Barristan behind them and Jaime protecting them. One floor below the pulpit, Varys, Baelish, Pycelle, the Archbishop, Sandor and others lined up.
about.
In the square at the bottom, the Kingsguard and the Golden Robes stood guard with weapons in hand and their chests raised and their heads raised.
The wide statue square was now crowded with civilians who came to watch.
Haloxylon ammodendron!
There was a sound of chains, and Ed, who was being held by two golden robes, was taken out from the exit of the church on the side.
Ed, who had been in a dark prison for a long time, looked at the sun in the sky that was shining on the earth. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the sunshine.
Judging from the nostalgic expression on his face, it seems that he wants to engrave this feeling of embracing the light in his heart.
