Chapter 218
After Ed Stark left the reception hall of Darry City angrily, Jory Cassel and Gao Yuan escorted the Stark girls to the hotel where they stayed.Sister Mordane, who had been waiting here for a long time, led the two physically and mentally exhausted girls into their respective rooms.

Sansa Stark with red eyes was supported by Sister Mordane and entered her room. At this moment, she did not cry like she did in the hall. The tears on her face had already dried up. Two clear tear marks were left.

Arya watched the distraught Sansa with cold eyes, and was helped into the room by Sister Mordane. She speculated that it might be because the direwolf "Lady" was about to be executed by the imperial law enforcement officer, which caused Sansa to become what she is now. This look.

She found that she couldn't feel any sympathy for Sansa at this moment. Arya thought that Sansa deserved all this. If Sansa hadn't lied when she confronted Prince Joffrey, her direwolf "lady" "There is no need to suffer this catastrophe.

Tonight, she might feel pity for the innocent disaster that happened to the direwolf, but she couldn't feel any sympathy for Sansa who lost her "lady".

"The lady didn't have to die, it was all because the liar Sansa lied in front of the king and queen, the lady was not there at the time, she was innocent!" Arya said through gritted teeth, "It should be Namei who bit people Leah is right."

"These are no longer important. The king has made a judgment, and the queen needs to seek justice for her child Joffrey." Gao Yuan's magnetic voice sounded above Arya's head, "Master Stark is The king's friend, and you are Lord Stark's child, the king will naturally not impose these crimes on you."

"Nymeria, the culprit who bit Joffrey's arm, was released by you again. Someone or the direwolf must bear the responsibility, so Sansa's direwolf naturally became the victim of the queen's anger. .”

Arya turned around curiously and looked up at Gao Yuan: "Sir Gao Yuan, did you see that I let Nymeria go?"

"I also saw you picking up the stones on the ground to drive them away." Gao Yuan smiled knowingly.

Arya scratched her lovely head angrily: "Sir Gao Yuan, you should have stopped me at that time, so that the lady would not have to die."

"What will happen to Mikay?" Arya suddenly thought of the pig butcher who accompanied her to practice swordsmanship.

"The pig butcher? If he hides deep enough or escapes far enough, I think he should be fine." Gao Yuan's answer was a little ambiguous, "But the king has sent the 'hound' Sandor Clegane Hunt him down, and hope he escapes the sharp nose of the hound, or the steed on which 'the hound' rides."

"I sincerely hope that Mikay will be safe and sound!" Arya looked a little depressed, "It's all my fault, I asked Mikay to practice swordsmanship with me, if I didn't call Mikay If we went to Ruby Beach together, none of this would have happened."

"Arya, it's not your fault!" Gao Yuan gently squeezed Arya's stiff shoulders, trying to make her relax, "It was Prince Joffrey who provoked first, holding a sharp knife Bullying two unarmed children with a steel long sword is no chivalry."

"Prince Joffrey's behavior would be spurned anywhere in Westeros. Even in that hall tonight, many people secretly spurned him for this behavior. "

"Did you hear how the king's brother, Lord Renly Baratheon, taunted the prince?"

There was a bright smile on Arya's face: "Of course I heard it, Duke Renly laughed at Joffrey for holding a long steel sword in his hand, but I knocked the weapon down with a broom stick, just like a lion being killed. It's like knocking out a tooth."

"Prince Joffrey's weakness and external strength, even the king couldn't bear it at that time. You don't know how much he wanted to escape from the living room at that time." Laughter erupted in the hotel lobby.

After a while of laughing, the big hotel regained its calm. The two sat side by side on the bench in the lobby. Arya frowned and began to confide her negative emotions to Gao Yuan: "Sir Gao Yuan, do you know that I Hate them, I hate those who bullied us in the hall tonight."

"I hate that queen, and King Robert, and Prince Joffrey, and that Kingsguard named Jaime Lannister, and Sansa."

Gao Yuan sighed and said, "Arya, you hate so many people, but at least you shouldn't hate Sansa and the king here."

"King Robert helped your father maintain his dignity tonight. When his son was hurt, he didn't blame you like Queen Cersei, regardless of right and wrong." Gao Yuan explained, " The King has done for you tonight as much as your father has done."

"As the father of Prince Joffrey and husband of Queen Cersei, he stood up to his son and wife to help you escape punishment."

"But they killed the lady, and they're after Mycah!" Arya retorted.

"In this case, there will inevitably be sacrifices."

Arya nodded speculatively, and then went on to ask: "And Sansa, why can't I hate her?"

"Sansa was there when it happened, and she saw everything that happened clearly!" Arya asked, "but Sansa lied when I confronted Prince Joffrey. , we could have avoided all of this from happening together, but she betrayed me at a critical moment, she killed her little wolf, she deserved it."

Recalling everything that happened in the living room tonight, Arya's emotions inevitably fluctuated violently, and her thin and small body was trembling non-stop due to emotional excitement.Gao Yuan put his hands on Arya's trembling shoulders gently, and comforted her gently: "When you had a conflict with Prince Joffrey on the banks of the Trident River, Sansa ran back to the hotel immediately Seeking our help, she had already told Jory and me what happened in detail."

Arya stared at Gao Yuan with wide eyes when she heard the words, and quickly broke free from his big hand: "You all know the truth, why didn't you stand up at that time?"

"Because Jory and I were not witnesses to this incident, the truth and the cause of the incident we know are only heard from Sansa's mouth. The king and queen will not choose to accept what we say. The truth." Gao Yuan explained to Arya, "Besides, before we went to find Prince Joffrey and you, Jory went to tell Queen Cersei the truth about this incident."

"The queen doesn't believe what we say, she only wants to believe the 'truth' that her son said!" Gao Yuan looked disdainful when he said this.

Arya continued to ask: "Then why didn't Sansa speak out? The king would certainly believe what she said."

"Sansa was forced to testify before the king and queen, and you can't force her to accuse the prince of being a liar."

"Joffrey is a liar! I just want Sansa to tell the truth, not her to accuse Joffrey," Arya screamed.

Gao Yuan nodded in agreement with Arya's statement: "Arya, you are right! Prince Joffrey is indeed a liar, including his mother and the queen."

"Everyone present could accuse the prince and queen of being liars, but only Sansa could not."

"Why?" Arya asked in surprise.

"Because your sister Sansa Stark is now engaged to Prince Joffrey, and one day she will marry the liar you said, and you now let Sansa accuse her future husband, Do you think this is appropriate?" Gao Yuan asked Arya, "Even if Prince Joffrey makes a big mistake one day, Sansa can only support Prince Joffrey."

"Why did my father let Sansa marry that liar!" Arya asked, resting her elbows on the long table in frustration, and dragging her chin with her palm, "Sansa is like a fool, obsessed with that shit prince every day , he doesn't even have half of your courage, Sir Gao Yuan, and he's not even as upright and gentle as you."

"If I were Sansa, I would definitely choose to marry you!" Arya's words were so shocking that Gao Yuan almost jumped up.

"Arya, this joke is not funny!" Gao Yuan retorted sternly.

"I'm serious!" Arya screamed. "Anyway, I can't see what's so good about that Joffrey, except being a prince with a sword in his hand who can't even touch me." Even a young girl can't beat it."

"If I had a sewing needle in my hand, I would have stabbed that bullshit prince right through!" Arya climbed from the bench onto the table, making a stabbing motion in a decent manner.

Gao Yuan smiled slightly: "Needle? Are you referring to the rapier that Jon asked the blacksmith Mikken of Winterfell to make for you?"

Arya, who was fantasizing about assassinating Joffrey, was taken aback when she heard the words, looked at Gao Yuan in surprise and asked, "How do you know?"

"I was there when Jon prepared the rapier for you at Winterfell, and he told me it was for you."

Arya suddenly realized when she heard the words: "It turned out that Jon told you!"

"Sir Gao Yuan, please don't tell my father about the sewing needle."

Gao Yuan smiled and raised his hand to assure Arya: "I promise!"

"Sewing Needle, why did you think of naming that sword? It sounds like a girl's weapon." Gao Yuan asked curiously.

"Septa Mordane always wanted me to be a lady like Sansa, but I don't want to be a lady, I hate the needlework she teaches, Sansa has her needle as a weapon, and I want it too I have a sewing needle of my own, so I named her 'Needle'." Arya stepped on the table and shook her arms awkwardly, as if she was holding the needle named "Needle" in her hand at this time. Needle's rapier.

"Arya!" An ear-piercing scream made Arya stand still on the table. Gao Yuan turned his head to look at the attic on the second floor, and saw the Jasmine who just sent Sansa back to the room Sister Dan's eyes widened at this moment, staring furiously at Arya, who was stepping on the table.

"You are so unladylike."

Sister Mordane ran down the stairs with a livid face, angrily trying to push Arya off the dining table. In order to avoid Sister Mordane's "capture", Arya mischievously came to several dining tables in the lobby Jump back and forth.Until Septa Mordane was out of breath as she walked through the aisles, she failed to dislodge him from the table.

Sister Mordane's exasperated scolding and Arya's laughter filled the entire hall. Even Gao Yuan was infected by the cheerful atmosphere. Septa Mordane finished her game of chicken.

The happy time is always short, as an old man wearing exquisite white armor with white sideburns stepped into the gate of this hotel, the cheerful atmosphere in the lobby came to an abrupt end.

The sudden appearance of the Kingsguard made Arya, who was jumping horizontally on the table, froze in place, so that she was accidentally dragged off the table by Sister Mordane.

Arya, who was caught by Septa Mordane, was chased back to her chamber with great reluctance.

Through the white armor on the visitor's body and the unique pattern on it, Gao Yuan quickly recognized the uninvited visitor in front of him late at night. The visitor was Barristan Sai, known as "Barristan the Fearless". Sir Ermy.There were not many grizzled men in King Robert's Kingsguard, but anyone who knew Ser Barristan would have recognized him at first sight.

"Sir Barristan." Gao Yuan stepped forward and nodded to Sir Barristan, "I don't know why you came to visit late at night? If Sir is looking for Lord Stark, he is probably still on the fence outside the city gate at this moment. There."

"Good night, Sir Gao Yuan!" Sir Barristan also nodded to Gao Yuan, "The king ordered me to come and call you to his tent. He said that he has something important to talk to you now."

"Does the king have something important to ask me to discuss in secret in the middle of the night?" Gao Yuan had already guessed that King Robert summoned him to discuss something, but he still had to pretend With a frown, "Is there anything that can't be changed to tomorrow."

Ser Barristan didn't care about Gao Yuan's complaints, and just smiled and explained to Gao Yuan: "Sir Gao Yuan, the king is leaving for King's Landing tomorrow, and he sent me to look for you late at night. You have arrangements."

"It's not for me to know what to discuss with you. I just came to call you to the king's camp according to the king's order."

"Thank you, Sir Barristan!" Gao Yuan nodded.
