Chapter 19 The Earl's Arrival
To be honest, when Wyman Manderly received the message from his granddaughter Vera with a raven, he almost choked to death on the golden wine of the Arbor Island that he didn't drink.

By gods, what the hell was that bastard Clay doing in Winterfell?

Slaughtering Lannister in front of the queen was like an animal. Although Earl Wyman admitted that he was thrilled, he was also frightened by Clay's boldness.

After receiving the news, he immediately issued a gag order to the bachelor in charge of the ravens. He didn't even inform his two sons who were training soldiers outside, even though Wendell Mandler was Clay's father.

At breakfast the next day, he announced that he was going to visit Winterfell, and his eldest son, Willis, would look after the house.

Strange as it was, no one could disobey Lord Wyman.

So, Clay's grandfather took 100 of White Harbor's most elite full-armored heavy cavalry and 100 auxiliary soldiers, and it took five days to complete the journey that Clay and his party took more than a week to complete.

And the news that he led his troops to the north naturally informed the Duke of Winterfell Ed Stark early on, and the latter had no choice. He was eager to save his heir, and he was from the north like himself. Order Wyman Earl to return.

King Robert, who was going to hunt, also canceled his trip when he heard about this incident. He was deeply impressed by the northern cavalry in White Harbor during the Usurper War.

As a conquering king, Robert has blood full of violence flowing in his veins all the time, so he would rather see this army than hunt.

Standing on the high arrow tower at the east gate of Winterfell, King Robert and Eddard Stark, the Duke of Winterfell, stood together. His Majesty the King was wearing a huge fur cloak, cursing in his mouth:

"What the hell! Ned, what the hell do you live in? It's summer, summer! I bet King's Landing isn't as cold as you in winter. How do you northerners survive?"

The Duke of Winterfell smiled helplessly. He looked at the fat figure of his former brother and said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, the people of the North, the Stark family, have long been used to all this, and we will live well."

"I know...I know...you Starks are a bunch of stubborn people, cold as stone."

The two stopped talking, and Ed knew that Robert was thinking of Lyanna again. Since he came to Winterfell, every plant and tree here reminded Robert of her late fiancée.

Ed is the same, except that he can be with his sister all the time.

On this tall arrow tower, only the crowned stag and direwolf banners can be seen, but the annoying Lannister banner is not seen.

About 10 minutes later, there was a melodious horn sound from afar.

A dark blue mermaid banner appeared in the eyes of the king and the Duke of Winterfell.

Wyman Manderly, lord of White Harbor, came with his host to the king's rack.

When the troops advanced to a distance where Robert could see clearly, he glanced at Eddard Stark in surprise, and asked with some doubts:

"Seven Hells, Ned, this is the army of your vassals, why is it so well equipped, fuck it! I thought it could only be seen in the army of Tywin's old lion."

As the lord of the Northern Territory, Duke Ed of course knew the strength of his vassals, so he was only a little surprised by such a powerful cavalry team, and did not express much expression.

He patted the king on the shoulder and explained:
"Your Majesty, the Manderly family...after all owns White Harbor, which is the fifth largest city in Westeros. It is very reasonable to support such an army."

"I used to have this kind of army all under my command, and I could go to King's Landing and kill those evil dragons in a month," said Robert viciously.

Duke Ed frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"You have done it, my lord."

"No... no, it's not enough, do you know Ned, across the narrow sea, the last blood of the dragon is still hidden there, I want to kill them all!" The king's voice was not loud, but anyone could hear it Express the still burning anger and indelible hatred.

Eddard Stark didn't want to bring up the subject, so he could only say:

"Your Majesty, it's time for me to meet Wyman Manderly."

"Go, Ned, tell that old eel, don't trouble the queen, after all, give me some face, Wyman can take that kid and his sister away at any time, Lannister dare not stop."

With the last words, Eddard Stark felt that this was the most kingly moment of Robert's day.

……

Below the city, at the front of the procession, sat a huge and luxurious carriage, and Earl Wyman ordered the procession to stop.

Through the window of the car, he had already seen 500 Winterfell cavalry lined up neatly across from them, and his lord was standing on a huge direwolf flag, looking at him from afar.

Anyway, the goal has been achieved, Earl Wyman told the groom, and went to the direwolf banner alone without guards.

A long distance away, his thick and hoarse voice sounded:
"Lord Duke!"

When Earl Wyman walked in, Ed Stark nodded slightly and got off his horse.

Earl Wyman also knew that his trip had caused some troubles to the prince, so he was very straightforward, and just a salute would do.

Ed Stark also knew what he was here for, and it wasn't difficult for him, so he pulled him up, and the two of them entered Winterfell after exchanging greetings.

"My lord, Kleiner..." Earl Wyman asked tentatively.

"Your grandson is really capable of causing trouble, but he is much smarter than your two sons."

After saying this, regardless of whether Earl Wyman could understand it or not, he led Earl Wyman straight to the direction of the dungeon.

The king's words are correct. Although he understands Earl Wyman's behavior, in a sense, the Manderly family's outcry is a bit of a forced palace. If the queen really makes trouble, although the king wants to, he can't support it. behavior.

Therefore, cut the mess quickly and let Earl Wyman leave with his grandchildren to avoid further troubles.

Not dodging or avoiding along the way, Duke Eddard walked quickly, making Earl Wyman, who was bigger than Robert, follow behind, sweating all over his head.

Before arriving at the dungeon, the White Harbor Guard had just seen Duke Ed ready to salute, when they saw the figure of their own Lord Earl appearing, and everyone lowered their heads to pretend to be quail.

The heir of White Harbor was thrown into the dungeon, and the noble lady was molested by Lannister. If they said that these guards had no responsibility at all, they themselves would not believe it.

The panting Earl Wyman looked at the group of White Harbor guards, snorted heavily, glared at them, and followed Eddard Stark to the dungeon. Now it is the heir that matters, and these people will be cleaned up later. .

As soon as he approached Clay's room, Duke Ed's footsteps slowed down. His nose told him that someone was drinking here, and his ears told him that there were three people in the room, and he was very familiar with these three voices.

Impulsive, he kicked open the cell door and glared at the three happily drinking in the cell.

The smiles of the teenagers froze on their faces.
