The first batch of soldiers from the Valyrian Empire boarded the warship and sailed to Pentos. The Young Wolf Lord of Winterfell was also on board. Robb Stark mustered up the courage to cut off his love and embark on the journey.
He took the warship to Pentos and determined to make great achievements.
And in the north, Winterfell.
When Robb set out on his journey and looked to the east, a black raven also flew to the home city of the Stark family.
Maester Luwin, who had lost all his hair, delivered an autographed letter from the young master to his wife Catelyn's room.
"lady."
"Maester Luwin."
The auburn-haired woman was wearing a decent thick light blue dress, her face was slightly haggard, and she was sitting in the room where she and her husband were staying.
But now she was alone.
Caitlin has been guarding the empty house alone for several years. Her husband Ed rebelled many years ago because of his mistakes. Now he is watching on the Great Wall. He will stay on the Great Wall for the rest of his life to atone for his sins and will not be able to return.
Therefore, Mrs. Catelyn has been a widow for many years. Fortunately, although Mrs. Catelyn is very beautiful, with auburn hair, blue eyes and slender fingers, her figure is also in good shape, and her temperament is even more noble, but the acquaintance
Everyone knows that Caitlin is upright and honest. She acts according to duty rather than desire. Even if she is a widow, she will not betray her honor or betray her husband.
Now Lady Catelyn is putting all her thoughts on the children. Catelyn is two years older than Cersei and is just thirty-six years old this year. She gave birth to four children for Eddard, Robb, Sansa,
Arya and Bran, the only similarity between her and Cersei is that they both love their children very much.
Originally, Caitlin and Eddard planned to have another child after Bran was born, but unfortunately at that time, wildlings began to appear outside the Great Wall in large numbers and frequently, provoking war.
Eddard followed his responsibility as the guardian of the North and left his home to guard the Great Wall. Since then, the Stark family has been declining step by step. There are no more opportunities for the two of them to engage in marital activities. In this plan
The child did not appear.
And now, looking at Lady Catelyn sitting in front of the fire, looking haggard, with all her hair falling out, Master Luwin couldn't help but feel distressed in his hazy eyes.
"Madam, the young master has made up his mind, so you don't have to worry anymore."
"The young master has the blood of a running wolf flowing in his body. Sooner or later, he will have to stand alone and must stand alone."
Although Robb is still the governor of the North in name, he is a governor of the North who has never managed the North for even a day.
Moreover, this position of Governor was given by His Majesty based on the tradition of the Northerners. Robb did not win it by relying on his own ability. In other words, although the Northerners are in charge of the Northerners, the position of Governor may not remain the same in the future.
Of the Gram family.
Although most people are still confused now, if other northern families understand this, they may not support the Stark family like this.
Therefore, the status of the Stark family is actually quite precarious now, and they are likely to encounter challenges from other families in the future.
When talking about these, one has to lament Lord Rickard Karstark's loyalty.
As the Grand Steward of the North, he almost single-handedly suppressed the chaotic situation in the North, and devoted himself to helping their lords, the Stark family, maintain their rule.
Even if the Stark family only has some bully orphans and widows left, there is not even a man in the family who can speak. For the older children, Theon Greyjoy is an adopted son, and Jon
Snow is just an illegitimate child, and Bran is too young.
And Robb is now in King's Landing. As the head of the contemporary Stark family, he must grow up, learn to stand alone, and shoulder the responsibilities of the family and the country.
"Fortunately, Lord Rickard Karstark is now taking care of Winterfell, so the young master can make great achievements in the Eastern Continent with peace of mind."
Maester Luwin, who had lost all his hair, sighed.
The auburn-haired woman looked haggard. She looked slightly better after hearing Maester Luwin's persuasion, then she took a deep breath and nodded.
"Thank you, Maester Luwin."
"Since Robb is willing to go to the Eastern Continent to fight those disgusting monsters, then let him go."
"Anyway, all the men in the Stark family are like this. They are stubborn and willful. Even if they make a clear decision, they can't even pull nine bulls back. My husband is like this, and Robb didn't expect it to be the same."
Lady Catelyn shook her head and said, while the elderly Maester Luwin on the other side was also amused by the lady's words and couldn't help laughing.
"By the way, Maester Luwin."
However, Lady Catelyn seemed to think of something at this moment, and then asked.
"I remember Lord Rickard has a daughter, right?"
The current High Steward of the North, Rickard Karstark, has four children, including three sons and only one daughter.
"That's right."
"Lord Rickard has a daughter named Aly Karstark."
Maester Luwin thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Madam, what's wrong?"
"I want Robb to marry this Aly Karstark, what do you think?"
Lady Catelyn thought for a moment and asked.
Now Rickard Karstark has great power in the North, almost overwhelming the sky with one hand.
Although the Stark family is still the lord of the North, there are only a few orphans and widows left in Winterfell. They are either unable to speak or are too young. Therefore, all the affairs in the North now fall on Rika.
On virtue.
Although Lady Catelyn did not say it explicitly, she still felt a little worried in her heart, especially when Maester Luwin subconsciously praised, "The safety of the North now depends on Lord Rickard." Lady Catelyn was so worried.
It deepened even more.
Although she was unwilling to speculate on her husband's capable men with the greatest malice, situations sometimes changed faster than people's thinking.
Nowadays, the nobles in the north no longer visit Winterfell when they have something to do, but go directly to Kaho City.
The long night fell some time ago, and the northern border was tense. Tens of thousands of troops gathered at the foot of the Great Wall to prepare, and Rickard Karstark also rushed over.
But recently I heard that the White Walkers actually landed in the Eastern Continent and did not attack the Great Wall. The nobles and governors of the Eastern Continent all went to King's Landing to ask His Majesty the Emperor to send troops for support. The Northern Territory relaxed a little.
Rickard also returned to his fiefdom, Kahuo City, not long ago. Kahuo City is not that far from the Great Wall anyway.
Lady Catelyn had such a plan in her heart and no longer hesitated. She was a decisive character. Asking Maester Luwin for his opinion was actually asking herself. Before Maester Luwin could answer, the auburn-haired woman once again
Open your mouth and say.
"In that case."
"Maester Luwin, write a letter to Kahor City tomorrow and ask Lord Rickard Karstark to come to Winterfell and say that I want to discuss it."
