"I didn't expect you to do such an errand, Edric."
After the ceremony, the group of Prince Yin Meng's delegation were assigned a place to live, and temporarily rested in the camp at the foot of the Great Wall.
At this moment, a guest came to visit quietly.
Edric Dane, who was sitting on a stone pillar under the tree and wiping his sword, seemed to feel something and raised his head.
Then he saw a slender woman wearing soft armor and a white cloak. She turned out of a dark corner not far away and spoke at the same time.
"Arya."
Edric actually sensed that someone was approaching quietly, and the sound of this person's footsteps was extremely delicate, almost close to the surrounding noise, and was completely invisible.
This was a master who was proficient in the art of assassination, and Edric had just raised his guard in his heart, and then he saw Arya walking out of the darkness, and then he relaxed his guard.
"Oh it's you."
The lonely man and the widow met in the dark, but did not see anyone else. Arya stepped forward and gave Edric Dayne a hug, and then the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
"long time no see."
In fact, there is not much love between men and women, because they are both sworn brothers in white clothes and have already sworn not to marry or have children in this life.
Among the seven sworn brothers of the Kingsguard, except for Bessie, who is the captain, the other six sworn brothers all have a pretty good relationship.
Even if the battle for the inheritance breaks out now, and many of them are their own masters, it has not affected the relationship between the giant prince Attis and the sword of dawn, Edric Dayne.
The two people didn't know each other before they fought, they just stand on different sides now.
Then Arya and Edric, two knights in white, stood in front of the weirwood at the foot of the Great Wall and exchanged a few words, and the problem returned to the beginning.
Arya did not expect that a man like Edric Dayne, who was so indifferent to fame and fortune, would accept the assignment from the second prince Yin Meng to do something beyond his responsibilities.
"I am not His Highness's messenger, Lord Tyrion Lannister is."
The knight with platinum hair and handsome face shook his head slightly when he heard this, and spoke in a calm tone.
"I really don't have much ability as a messenger."
What Edric said is very pertinent. He is indeed not a messenger material.
Other people's envoys are eloquent and talk endlessly, trying to persuade other forces to form an alliance with their side.
And the knight in white just stood in Longxiao Palace like an outsider.
He just handed over Prince Yinmon Targaryen's autographed letter, and then stood there without saying a word, as if Damon Flowers' crying had nothing to do with him.
Arya couldn't help laughing when she heard Edric say this.
"You are right about that. How can you be such a messenger?"
"If Your Highness Yin Meng finds out, I'm afraid you will be angry to death."
However, at this point, the former 'little wolf girl' and now 'she-wolf' Arya suddenly changed the subject and asked directly.
"Yes, that's it, Edric."
"Lord Tyrion is really dead?"
Arya suddenly asked.
And Edric paused slightly and looked into Arya's eyes. He knew that this was the true purpose of the other person's night visit.
Of course, visiting old friends also exists.
But Arya is more concerned about whether Tyrion is really dead, because she is here to find out the truth for the eldest princess Diana.
But it's a pity that Arya didn't see anything from Edric.
Edric was silent for just a second, and then nodded slightly.
Tyrion's body has been cremated. These reasons are impeccable. After all, it is a long way from Lannisport to the Great Wall.
If Tyrion's body was forcibly preserved, firstly, it would be highly corrupted, difficult to identify, and extremely difficult; secondly, it would be disrespectful to the deceased.
Cremation on site is of course the best solution, and this is an irrefutable reason.
But Diana always felt that something was strange. After all, it was just a pile of ashes and there was no way to tell whose body it was.
Arya was entrusted by the eldest princess to explore their voices in private to see if she could find any loopholes.
But it is a pity that Arya did not gain much. Everyone in the mission was immersed in a sad atmosphere, as if Tyrion was really dead.
Arya went round and round and found nothing, so she reported the information back to Diana.
After hearing Arya's words, Diana Targaryen once again fell into deep thought.
Just as Tyrion knows about the eldest princess Diana, the other party's nature is like fire and her temper is fiery. The best way to convince her is to get excited at the beginning.
If Diana's anger was not completely ignited and she was asked to calm down and start thinking about the issues just now, then I'm afraid things would become difficult to handle.
"Diana, what should we do next?"
The relationship between Arya and Diana, master and servant, is very good. They are like sisters. They are also similar in age. Arya is three or four years older than Diana, and she is already thirty-four this year.
The female knight in white pulled over a chair and sat opposite the eldest princess.
And the eldest princess, who was very domineering while sitting on the throne during the day, actually showed a bit of the temperament of a younger daughter under the candlelight.
"I don't know either, Arya."
"I'm hesitating too."
Diana did have reason to be confused.
After all, it is her two biological brothers who are having a conflict and war now.
Although Diana has had a good relationship with Herros since she was a child, it does not mean that she hates Yin Meng. After all, the palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh.
When it came time to make a decision, Diana couldn't help but think about the goodness of her second brother Yin Meng.
But if she was asked to help Yin Meng target Heros, Diana couldn't make up her mind.
Arya has been with Diana for so many years, and the two are sisters, so they understand each other very well.
Arya knew from the look on Diana's face that she was confused.
In fact, Diana was never an indecisive person.
She was just troubled by the problem that the palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh.
"So in other words, Diana."
Arya pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"Follow your own conscience, who do you think will make this country a better place as the next generation of emperor?"
