Chapter 1 White Harbor
298 years of conquest

白港
It was another sunny morning in the long summer in the largest city north of the Neck.

The White Knife River enters the sea from here, and a large number of fishing boats sail out of the port to start their day's work.

The Mandalay family who ruled here lived in New Castle on a high hill in the city, and today is a big day for the entire Mandalay family.

The three-generation heir of the family, Clay Mandalay returned to the Mandalay family after his two-year tour of the trading city-state.

Clay's father was originally only the second son of Wyman Manderly, Earl of White Harbor. According to the law of succession, Clay could not be the third generation heir at all.

But just half a year ago, Uncle Clay's wife had an accidental miscarriage, and was considered by Bachelor Theomo to be infertile.

The elderly Earl Wyman immediately sent someone to the trading city-state to recall Clay.

Except for Earl Wyman and his two sons, all members of the Manderly family went to the port to meet the young man who was about to become the heir.

What everyone didn't know was that the young man from the family who was slowly walking down the deck had been replaced by a soul from another time and space.

This soul from another time and space was complaining about the next-generation update of a certain witcher game before traveling, and the next second came to this world of ice and fire that he was very familiar with.

After receiving the memory, Clay found himself a third-generation descendant of the Mandalay family, a person who had never appeared in the original world.

Not long after he was in the trading city-state, he received a letter of urgent recall from the family, brought by the elder of the family, Sir Marlon Manderly himself.

"White Harbor is still the same, with a fishy smell." Clay stepped on the land of Westeros, smelling the lingering strong fishy smell in the air, and said with emotion.

"Oh, it seems that you are used to the smell of Pentos's perfume?" Sir Marlon said lightly, he is a person with a strong family concept, and he is somewhat a little bit fond of this young master who has been away from the family for two years dissatisfied.

On the pier in the inner harbor, the heavily armed guards of the City Guard have already lined up.

The mermaid flag fluttered high, and a group of people surrounded the two guards.

"Come on, meet your two sisters." Sir Marlon led Clay to the crowd.

Wilfield and Vera, the two female members of the Mandalay family, wore dark green long dresses, and led the rest of the group to welcome Clay's arrival.

"Seven Gods, sister, look, I haven't seen him in two years and he has grown so much." 15-year-old Vera held her sister's hand and shouted excitedly.

Clay is slightly older than Vera, and has spent his No. 16 name days on the boat.

He walked in front of the crowd, and under Sir Marlon's stern gaze, the Wilfield sisters and the rest of the offshoots bowed solemnly to Clay.

Clay is still young, but his status as the heir makes his status far higher than everyone present.

Since the bloody civil war of the Targaryen family ended in Dance of the Dragon, the establishment of an heir, especially a male heir, has become a top priority for the nobles of Westeros.

After saluting, the very dignified elder sister Wilfield took Clay's hand and said with a smile:
"Clay, my grandfather is waiting for you in Newcastle, let's go quickly."

Clay nodded. He also wanted to see his grandfather sooner. After all, only when Earl Wyman nodded, his status as heir could be confirmed.

Mounted on horseback, Clay and his party walked through the Yuwang Square and walked up the castle ladder. A towering and majestic white stone fortress jumped out of Clay's memory and appeared before his eyes again.

This huge fort, which ranks among the top three in the entire northern border, is the home fort of the Mandalay family. Because it is distinguished from the old fort at the foot of the mountain, it is called the new fort.

Led by the two sisters, Clay walked into the Mandalay family hall, which symbolized the power core of the entire White Harbor, and it also had a more famous name-Mermaid Palace.

Although I have been here many times in my memory, when Clay stepped here again, I still lamented the family's deep financial foundation.

In this palace-like hall, the ceiling and floor are skillfully spliced ​​by planks of wood. The surface of these valuable woods is a collection of skilled craftsmen in White Harbor, who have carved various and delicate sea creatures. On the high platform in the center of the entrant's field of vision, a huge padded throne stands on it, representing the absolute authority of the Mandalay family.

Clay compared it in his heart. The style of this hall is definitely more luxurious than the Stark family's Winterfell hall. Although there is still a certain gap with the throne hall of the Red Castle, it is definitely unique based on the earl's status. One copy.

Sitting on the throne was a tall and strong old man, whose silver hair was very obvious under the candlelight. Clay knew very well that he was his grandfather, Earl of White Harbor, Lord Wyman Manderly.

Vilfaid pulled her pouting sister back to the side, leaving Clay standing alone in the middle of the hall of the Mermaid Palace, staring at the cold-faced old man on the throne.

Taking a deep breath, Clay stepped forward, stroked his chest and saluted: "Grandpa, I'm back."

I don't know how long after I lowered my head, the grandfather and grandson faced each other in silence.

"The raging sea." Earl Wyman suddenly shouted.

A little dazed, Clay immediately realized that this was the family motto. He immediately raised his head, looked straight into the old man's eyes, and responded with the same loud voice: "The raging sea!"

The solid ice on Earl Wyman's red face melted and shattered, and he grinned loudly:
"Haha, it's good to be back!" The old man's sturdy body bounced off the throne, walked quickly to Clay's side, circled around him, looked at him carefully, and spoke extremely fast:
"That's right, this head is my grandson, and the hair on his lips has also grown out, tsk... I didn't see it, you were as ugly as your father when you were young, but now you are much more handsome, good! You are back, rest One night, tomorrow I will take you to Mrs. Ed to ask for a marriage contract..."

Clay was helpless when he heard that, and Vera in the hall had already burst out laughing. Wilfield could maintain a ladylike demeanor, but the corners of her mouth could still reflect the joy in her heart.

Earl Wyman was still thinking about it. When he saw the appearance of the two granddaughters, he realized that he had said too much. He gave the two granddaughters a hard look, and muttered: "I will send you next month." Let's get married."

Probably the voice was a bit loud, but anyway, the two unmarried ladies closed their mouths and retreated into the corner like ostriches.

"Okay, Clay, you go first. It's not an easy task to cross the entire narrow sea. It's still your room. It has been cleaned for you for two years. Let's talk about dinner. It just so happens that your father and uncle came back .”

Clay nodded in agreement with his grandfather's words, and the clever Wilfield hurriedly took his silly sister and led Clay out of the Mermaid Palace. If he stayed here, he would inevitably be reprimanded by the old man again.

Lying on the same bed as he remembered, Clay thought about it. Earl Wyman was right. He really had something to go to Winterfell...
