Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 144 Summoning Vassals
"Why save me? Are you from the North?" James Lannister half-lyed on the carriage, took the flagon from Odis, took a big gulp of it, and coughed violently up.

"Further north than the North, Sir James, I am a freeman." Odis took out a stick of dried meat from his rucksack and chewed it in his mouth.

"Savages? Why do savages appear in Winterfell?"

"It's a freeman," Odis corrected, but did not answer James' question. "Perhaps you should show me some respect. I saved you, ser."

"Okay, dear Mr. Freeman, why save me?" James coughed twice, and then spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.

"Damn, the majestic 'Kingslayer' would ask such a question, I saved your life, ser," Odis said with a faint smile on his face, "Wait until I send you Back at Casterly Rock, Lord Tywin will thank me with gold equal to your weight."

"Back to Casterly Rock? Cough cough cough." James suddenly became agitated, "No, no!" He raised his voice, "My... my sister is still in Winterfell, ah!" He tried to get up, but because Pulled to the wound, let out a deep scream, "I saved her, I saved them."

"They? Which one?" Odis pretended to be puzzled.

"That's it..." James paused, then looked at Odis with hope as if he suddenly realized something, "If you can get me out of Winterfell, you will definitely help me save my sister It's theirs, right?"

James tried again to get up, but failed, he was too hurt to move.

Otherwise he wouldn't have let the wildlings in front of him lead him away from Winterfell, away from his dear Cersei and the children.

"Don't move around," Odis couldn't help reminding when he saw that the scribbled bandage on James' body began to ooze blood again, "if you still want to live."

"Help me," James didn't care about these things at all, "as long as you can save my sister and my nephew" At this point, he broke his heart and gave up covering up, "My children, I swear to give you a The largest castle in the western region, let you become the most prominent earl, your family will."

"Free folk never bow their knees, ser," Odis interrupted James, "and it's too late."

"What's too late?" James wondered, and at the same time turned his head to look around, but found that there were no pursuers.

"After the hunting team returned to Winterfell, Robert Baratheon had listened to Catelyn's statement and beat the queen to death." Odis stopped.

"Fake," James shook his head, not daring or willing to believe it was true, "Fake, since you escaped from Winterfell, you have been staying with me, how could you know what happened in the city?" matter?"

"My eagle can see everything, ser," Odis replied.

"You want me to believe you can do magic?" James was amused, but couldn't help it.

"And now, Robert has picked up the sword and is walking towards his wheel palace, and Lord Eddard is desperately trying to stop him." Otis did not answer, but continued to introduce the situation in Winterfell.

"Little Joe, Myrcella, Tommen." Although James still didn't believe in the existence of magic, his face was still completely pale when he heard these words.

"Stop, are you mad? Are you taking revenge on the children when the Kingslayer is gone?" Eddard Stark caught up with Robert.
It was too easy, Ed was still as strong and light-footed as he was back then, but Robert Baratheon, once the first warrior of the Seven Kingdoms, hammered the "Dragon Slayer" of Prince Rhaegar on the banks of the Trident River. ', but at this time has become fat into a ball.

He just killed a helpless woman, and he was already sweating profusely.

"Get angry? Damn it, oh!" But Robert's voice was still astonishing, and he could vaguely hear the momentum of the phrase "Rhaegar, I'm going to tear you apart" when he shouted on the banks of the Trident River.

"Isn't what Kate said obvious enough?" growled Robert, "Those three bastards shouldn't be in this world!
Lysa wrote a letter to ask you for help, saying that her adoptive father was murdered by them after discovering Lannister's secret...

And now everything is revealed, it is this adulterer and adulteress!It's their secret!Don't forget, Ayrin is also your adoptive father! "

"I have sent all my cavalry after the Kingslayer, and I will kill him with my own hands if you give me the honor, but the child is innocent! And they called you father at breakfast this morning." Ai Duck didn't know that his exhortations sounded like fuel to Robert's fire at the moment.

"Innocent? Ned, you've always had those goddamn mercies. Did that bastard Jaime ever think, when he pushed your Bran down the stairs, that the child is innocent?"

Being poked at the sore spot, Ed's face became ugly, but he still stood in front of Robert.

"Don't hurt the child." Ed said firmly.

Robert and Ed stared at each other for 3 minutes.

"Fuck you, Ned, I'm your king," Robert finally lowered his sword. "Why are you always right?"

Maybe Robert himself didn't know it, but deep down in his heart, he also longed to be strongly stopped by Ed. After all, it was his child. Although Joffrey and Cersei hated it as much, Myrcella and Tommen were both Good obedient boy, is his child. Used to be.

"If your cavalry catch Jaime and send him to me, I'll kill him myself."

"Duke Tywin may not let it go," Ed reminded.

"I'm the one who won't let it go!" Robert snorted coldly, "If your cavalry fails to capture James, then let your bachelor send a message to Casterly Rock, and let Tywin Lannister take James Hand it over, or I'll flatten Casterly Rock City."

"Duke Tywin will never hand over his only son." Ed wanted to say his only son, but suddenly remembered the figure of a dwarf, so he changed his words, "His eldest son heir, so a war is inevitable, We need to summon the lords of the nation now."

"Then do it together, send letters to Riverrun, Highgarden, and Sunspear, to my two brothers, and yes, the Eyrie, and I bet Lysa can't wait to get the knights of the Vale to serve Ayer." Master Lin takes revenge."

"Do it, Maester Luwin," Eddard said to the maester at Winterfell.

"My keeper of the seal is at Winterfell, and you can get the royal seal from him," Robert added.

"It's Your Majesty," Luwin saluted Robert slightly, then looked at Ed, "My lord." Then he walked away quickly.

"Then Ed, now you are the Hand of the King. You must command the army of the whole country so I can rest assured. I won't allow you to shirk!"

"My sword is yours, Your Majesty, and the North will fight for you."

"The good news is that Lord Ed successfully dissuaded the king from doing anything to those three children." Odis looked back at the sky, and turned to the distraught James Lannister on the carriage.

James couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but his expression didn't improve at all.

"The bad news is that Robert has ordered the vassals of the whole country to be summoned to prepare for the war in the west."

"War in the West?" James was taken aback, then realized, "Is it because I ran away? Maybe I should go with Cersei."

"You should avenge her and get your children back. Don't forget that you are a kingslayer, and killing kings is your specialty." Odis interrupted James with a playful tone, "You can kill Why is Aerys II Targaryen afraid of Robert Baratheon?"

"Revenge? What revenge do we have? Although the Western Region is strong, we will never face the Six Kingdoms alone! Once Robert's army presses in, we will definitely be defeated..."

"I have a proposal," Odis interrupted James again, "If you can help me convince Duke Tywin, then the Western Territory will at least have a chance."
