The eldest daughter's marriage has been settled, but the second daughter likes to wield swords and guns all day long, which gives Lady Catelyn a headache.
And she accidentally bumped into Robb seeing off Arya, and Lady Catelyn immediately understood where her worried daughter was going.
King's Landing.
Recently, this news has spread throughout the empire, Westeros and even Pentos, Andalos and the Three Sisters Kingdom on the other side of the Narrow Sea.
That is, since the empire was rebuilt, there has been no open recruitment, and that famous knight order with a world-renowned reputation has finally begun to recruit people again.
This order of knights was created by Queen Visenya during the Targaryen Dynasty. It is an elite guard with the mission of protecting the royal blood. This guard is called the Kingsguard. Of course, they also have a more poetic name called the Kingsguard.
'White Knight'.
Visenya formulated the creed and principles of the Kingsguard based on the Oath of the Night's Watch, and emphasized that loyalty is more important than martial prowess.
But now in the era of the Three Queens ruling the world, the Kingsguard, which has never been full in number, finally decided to recruit people from the outside again.
The reason is that His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire has married three queens and now has given birth to three princesses and princes, but there are only two Kingsguards and there are five vacant places.
There is even one of the two Kingsguards who is only on temporary duty. Now that he has taken charge of the army, he no longer personally performs the duties of the Kingsguard.
Therefore, the only person who actually performs the work of the Kingsguard is the female knight Mia. Viserys once did not need anyone to protect him, only Mia was enough, but now Viserys has three wives, and there are also
With three children and only one Kingsguard, this does seem to be a bit of a stretch.
So before Daenerys left, after discussion with the three queens, the Royal Council, and the female knight Mia, they decided to recruit a few more white knights.
As soon as such news was released, it immediately caused shock among all the nobles in the empire.
As a prestigious order of knights, the Kingsguard has always been the ultimate dream of all knights, and they want to get in even if their heads are squeezed.
But in recent years, they have not had much chance to join the ranks of white knights.
Because when Viserys was personally regent, there was always only one Kingsguard, and now he is finally willing to open up the quota, so naturally knights from all over the empire are flocking to him.
During this time, knights from Westeros and Essos gathered in King's Landing to participate in this tournament.
Among them, Arya, the second daughter from the Stark family of Winterfell, who always wanted to prove herself, was naturally attracted, so she began to pack her bags and prepare to leave for King's Landing without telling her family.
But he didn't expect that when his eldest brother Robb was seeing his sister off, he was bumped into by his mother, Lady Catelyn.
A high-status aristocratic lady actually wanted to fight on the battlefield like a man. This was unacceptable to her mother, Lady Caitlin, who also came from a distinguished family.
But she had no choice but to know the temperament of her little daughter. She was born with a naughty personality, lively and alert, and did not look like a girl at all. Instead, she was very talented in swordsmanship and loved fighting and exploring.
When Arya was young, she proposed to learn swordsmanship so that she could compete in tournaments in the future. Sansa was frightened by her sister's idea, but her brother Jon Snow, who was close to Arya, was very good in this aspect.
Support her.
Arya secretly practiced swordplay with Jon, and even when Winterfell fell and the family fled to King's Landing, Arya could easily defeat her younger brother Brandon one-on-one with a sword.
And Arya also has a special talent, that is, she can throw things very accurately.
Her eyes seem to have their own crosshairs, and she can accurately throw a dagger into the eye of a stag. At the same time, her archery skills are also extremely good, enough to be called a hundred steps. Her two brothers Jon and Robb are in
In this regard, everyone is willing to be inferior.
The little wolf girl's outstanding martial arts talent was later fully supported by her aunt Lyanna.
Although Lyanna transformed into a White Walker, she still survived after the long night with the black stone necklace Rhaegar gave her.
Therefore, Lyanna and Benyan later returned to Winterfell. The two siblings stayed in Winterfell for a while and felt that their current identities were out of tune with ordinary people. The eyes of others looking at them were full of fear.
Lyanna and Benyan then set off to the Great Wall to join their brother Eddard. Lyanna's biological brother, Jon Snow, had also sworn to join the Night's Watch a few years ago and is now serving on the Great Wall.
With the support of her aunt Lyanna, her mother, Lady Catelyn, finally gave up her plan to forcefully change her daughter and acquiesced to her sword practice.
"Mother."
Arya dismounted and stood with her brother Robb, holding the reins in her hands, not daring to look into her mother's eyes.
Lady Catelyn is now forty-three years old this year. She was once a handsome, beautiful, and charming young woman, but now her eyes have wrinkles and her hair has gradually turned gray.
When Lady Catelyn arranged the wedding between Aly Karstark and her son Robb, Lord Rickard Karstark, the High Steward of the North, as her in-law, secretly pursued her.
Anyway, Lady Catelyn's husband, Lord Eddard, had already been stripped of his title and put on black clothes. At that time, Rickard Karstark was obsessed with power and forgot about everything, feeling that the North had fallen into his control.
Moreover, the Karstark and Stark families are one family, sharing the same blood, so he dared to humiliate Lady Catelyn like this.
Later, the North fell into civil strife, and the Stark family's control over the North declined. Some nobles began to alienate. Robb Stark finally broke up with his father-in-law, the High Steward of the North, Rickard, and broke out.
The civil war and the humiliation of my mother were also one of the reasons.
In the end, Robb dueled Rickard one-on-one in a melee, then pierced his father-in-law's chest with a sword, cut off his head and carried him back to Winterfell on the tip of a spear.
Robb's wife Aly Karstark shed tears when she heard the news of her father's death. She has always been caught in a dilemma between her husband and his father.
Nowadays, although the marriage between Robb and his wife still exists, it is actually somewhat broken in name only.
Ari was stern all day long, and Robb also fell in love with alcohol, and often secretly went to the home of a brewmaster in Winterfell.
Because this winemaker has a wife named Basi who is in good shape.
