Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 49 The Little Mouse
"Arya, how do you know this place?" When Ed Stark got up from the ditch full of sewage, he asked his daughter with a puzzled face.

Suddenly, a person on the shore caught Ed's attention. He was wearing a rough and thick brown robe, with a large figure and a cloak covering his face.

Ed became vigilant in an instant, until the cloak was slowly pulled down, revealing a rough face full of stubble. It was hard to believe that the last time he saw him, he was still dressed as a prison guard. Once, it was an eunuch with oily head and noodles.How many faces does he have?

"Good morning, my lord." I saw him salute Ed in a thick voice, which was different from the sweet and greasy one in the past.But Ed felt a chill down his spine, as if what he saw was not a human being, but a terrifying giant spider.

This person is Varys, known as "Octospider", the chief intelligence officer of the Imperial Council.

"Varys? What do you want?" Ed frowned and stared at that face, he thought of what Cersei Lannister told him, "In Game of Thrones, if you don't win, you will die one."

"Gui Qianjin is very brave, I just revealed the location of the dungeon to her."

Ed looked unhappy, "You shouldn't have involved a child."

"Some things are beyond our control, Lord Stark, like your eldest son has led the army south."

"Robb?"

"Who else but him? The boat has been prepared for you, my lord. As for whether you can return to the northern border, it can only depend on you and your daughter."

This place is on the coast, where the sewage from the Red Fort is discharged, and a small boat is lying on the shore among the gravel.It seems that it has rained, and there is a slight chill in the air, which makes Ed feel like he was born in the north, but this bit of wind is too gentle compared to the north.

Varys didn't tell him that the white ravens in the academy sent a message a few days ago that the long summer was coming to an end and that winter was coming to Westeros. The maesters predicted that after the long summer there would be a long night. The summer of this year will bring a long winter.

"I know you can, Varys. Help me save Sansa, please." Ed, who was always stern, had a pleading look on his haughty face.

"You are making things difficult for me. I am just an unarmed intelligence chief. I advise you to leave King's Landing as soon as possible, my lord. Your eldest daughter is well taken care of by the queen. The queen even agreed to let her continue to marry our majesty the king. .”

"He's no king."

Varys smiled softly, "There are several kings in the kingdom now. I heard that even Lord Tywin has a barbarian king under his command."

"I'll ask you Varys again, what's your purpose? When you were in prison, you obviously didn't agree to help me." Ed looked at the eunuch. "Robert spared your life. You should not have put that boy Joffrey on the Iron Throne."

"I don't mind who sits on the Iron Throne, my lord. Eunuchs have no honor." Varys put his hands in the pockets of his sackcloth. Lo brings peace. I should have told you that in this castle, only the king is an outsider in power, and he doesn't care who sits on the Iron Throne, he just wants wine and women.

I kept him from harm once, but you did him harm, my lord.You can obviously give the Iron Throne to the child, and then go back to the north safely. I think the warm Winterfell must be much more comfortable than the dungeon. Oh, sorry, I heard that the walls of Winterfell There are hot springs surging, and if you want to live in it, you don't even need to light the stove. "

"Winterfell has your little bird?" Ed asked with a bad expression.

Varys tilted his head. "Who knew? Crows are everywhere, because they have black wings. Little birds don't, and neither do spiders."

"Winter is coming, my lord. The enemy is not in front of you, but across the sea." Varys said, pulling up his hood, and then walked into the night, with light and soundless steps, like a shadow.

"Are we going to save Sansa?" Arya asked him.

Ed looked up at the towering red castle on the cliff, then shook his head, Varys was right, he should go back to the north, where he has no one he can trust.

Pushing the boat into the water, the rest of the journey will definitely not be easy. Lannister’s people will definitely want them all over the country. It’s okay if his leg is not injured, but since he fell off the horse, every time his leg moves, it hurts. It was as if someone had a knife gouging his bones, and Arya pushed the boat down.

Ed's eyes were full of guilt. He shouldn't have brought his children to King's Landing to suffer. As the father of several children, as Robert's best friend, as the monarch of Winterfell, and as Caitlin's husband, he All feel like a failure.

Under the night moon, a small boat slowly sailed out of King's Landing City.

Varys stood in the dark night and watched them go away. No one knew what the octospider was thinking, no one knew what he wanted. He was like a little bird, like a puzzle.

Arya remembered the words she had overheard.

"Those guys on horseback came over, and the little princess gave birth to a pony king for them. We need time, give Aegon time. If the Seven Kingdoms continue to make trouble like this, how can we stop those barbarians on horseback?"

"They cannot cross the Strait, and the lords of Westeros do not welcome strangers."

"There are enough ships from the east to send those guys over with horses and men, and now all the city-states are recruiting mercenaries and buying Unsullied, and those mercenary groups and slave owners are making a lot of money. If braided wildlings do take Westeros, our efforts will fall short. You must stabilize this place. I know you can do it. If not, I will ask the faceless men of Braavos to help. .”

"Who do you want to kill? Daenerys, Drogo? Or Joffrey, or Stannis?"

"No matter who we kill, I just hope that our efforts will not be in vain. Old friend, we have been planning this for so many years, and you can get more."

"The title or the right? I'm already an extremely powerful minister, and it won't change anything if I sit on it with another person."

"I know what you want, and Aegon will satisfy you, and you've seen the kid. At least he's better than that incestuous freak sitting in the chair now."

Arya heard the massive man sigh, "I thought Aerys would be a good king, too."

"Oh! A little mouse seems to be hiding here," was the last Arya heard the man say, and then she was discovered.
