Mrs. Caitlin looked at her son and daughter, and suddenly felt some guilt in her heart.
She interfered in too many children's affairs, but she seemed to have done everything wrong.
It was she who tried her best to arrange the wedding between Robb and Aly Karstark, because Lady Catelyn believed that this would make Lord Rickard Karstark surrender to Robb and become his help.
But unexpectedly, things backfired, and Rickard also did many extraordinary things as Robb's father-in-law.
Yali is actually a good child, completely different from her father who was blinded by power.
However, in the end Robb killed Lord Rickard with his own hands, and his son-in-law killed his father-in-law. No matter how virtuous and kind-hearted Ari was, she could not accept such a result.
In the end, this forced marriage came to a point where it was about to break up. Ari would never laugh again, and Robb even found a winemaker's wife to vent his desires.
In fact, the same goes for his second daughter Arya. She has disliked being a noble lady since she was a child. Her dream is to be a knight who can gallop on the battlefield.
Lady Catelyn also interfered in Arya's life, hoping that her daughter would change according to her own wishes.
But now that I think about it, these are all wrong.
Lady Catelyn felt some guilt in her heart, so she rarely objected to Arya doing what she liked.
Arya lowered her head and prepared to accept her mother's storm, but she never expected that her mother would actually allow her to go to King's Landing to participate in the tourney.
The brown-haired girl was immediately overjoyed, her beautiful gray eyes shining brightly.
Arya was not very beautiful when she was little, as she was nicknamed 'Arya Horseface', and was often mistaken for a boy.
However, as she grew older, Arya's appearance gradually became outstanding.
Some people even compared her to her aunt Lyanna, believing that both have the same wild beauty. This unique beauty sometimes attracts the attention of men, making them unable to help but feel excited.
A desire to conquer.
"I will never let down the honor of House Stark."
Arya said with a firm tone.
"Don't be so anxious to say goodbye, at least don't leave secretly."
However, Lady Catelyn shook her head and said.
"Call Brandon and Rickon and let us prepare a farewell party."
A farewell party was held at Winterfell.
Before the banquet, Lady Catelyn wrote a letter and sent it to the Great Wall by raven. She needed to tell her husband Eddard the news.
However, this time she did not ask for her husband's opinion, nor did she ask her husband to write back to persuade Arya. Lady Catelyn had already agreed that her daughter should participate in the tourney held in King's Landing.
And Lady Catelyn will also go south to King's Landing with her daughter this time to discuss the marriage between her eldest daughter Sansa and Willas Tyrell.
The Tyrell family has no elders. Willas is the current patriarch of the Tyrell family, and he is also the prime minister of the royal family. He is responsible for everything. Therefore, the Stark family did not put on such a big show and took the initiative to send people to King's Landing to discuss the marriage.
As for the news of Sansa's love affair with Willas Tyrell, Eddard had actually known about it for a long time. Sansa had sent a letter back half a year ago.
However, during the banquet, he heard that his sister was going to King's Landing to participate in a tourney to compete for a spot in the Kingsguard, and his younger brother Brandon was the first to stand up.
He wanted to go south with his sister to participate in this martial arts competition.
"Hahaha"
But it is a pity that Brandon's ambition, instead of attracting applause, made everyone at the table laugh except his sister-in-law Aly Karstark.
"Bran..."
Even Robb, who was usually stoic, couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
Because everyone knows that Brandon's swordsmanship is not bad, but it is mediocre, half-skilled, and nothing outstanding at all.
Brandon can't even defeat Lord Rodrik Kelso, the trainer of Winterfell, but he still wants to participate in a tourney to compete for a place in the Kingsguard?
However, although the young man's ambition aroused laughter in the whole house, he finally got permission from his mother, Lady Catelyn, and went south to King's Landing together, just in time to attend his sister's wedding.
But another one, Rickon, who wanted to go with him, was ruthlessly rejected.
He still has to stay in Winterfell honestly, so that if something unexpected happens, the Stark family will not be blamed.
There must always be someone from the Stark family staying in Winterfell, not just Robb. Although Lady Catelyn is just a woman, she handles things thoroughly and leaves no room for error.
A few months later.
Under the protection of a hundred family guards, the Stark family heading south finally arrived at King's Landing, the capital of the empire, along the King's Road.
Today, the city has undergone significant changes compared to when the Stark family returned to Winterfell.
The most obvious change is that the city wall has expanded outwards. King's Landing now has three walls. The middle wall is the earliest city wall in King's Landing. Later, due to economic development and the role of the capital, many more people were attracted.
Tents began to be built around King's Landing, and eventually the outer city was formed.
Therefore, before the long night fell, the Imperial Council allocated funds to build a second city wall, extending a large circle around King's Landing.
But later, after the long night fell, many people crowded outside the city of King's Landing. Therefore, now there are many villages and people gathered outside the second city wall of King's Landing. It is obvious that the construction of the third city wall will be put on the agenda again.
.
King's Landing is now rapidly developing into a super city. Among them are the booming economy of the empire, the gathering of people during the long night and the formation of urbanization, etc. Several reasons are indispensable, otherwise the scale of King's Landing would not be able to grow so rapidly.
.
But this did not prevent Arya, Bran and the other Stark family members from widening their eyes and making sounds of amazement.
"Wow!"
"King's Landing has changed so much."
"This has changed a lot since the years we lived in King's Landing."
The Stark family arrived outside King's Landing and had already spread the news to King's Landing through the inn a long time ago.
As the future son-in-law of the Stark family, Willas Tyrell, the Prime Minister of the Royal Family, was naturally not rude.
He led his sister and several guards from the Tyrell family and the Chancellor's Tower out of the city and waited quietly on the side of the King's Road to greet them.
Then he saw the flag of the Stark family waving in the distance, and finally came closer. Willas and his sister hurried forward to greet them.
