Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 131
Ferran was originally a poacher and a horse thief. In the war against the rock species of Skagos Island in the northern border, he relied on his superb shooting and riding skills to lead the scout troops in the northern border and made great contributions. On the battlefield, Billy, the master of Driftwood Hall and the leader of the Stern clan, was captured.

As a hero emerging from the North in the Skagos Island War, Ed canonized Phelan as a baron.Since Feilan is good at long-range archery and can shoot and kill enemies on horseback hundreds of meters away, Ed chose the surname "Barrett" for Feilan.

Ferran has transformed from a poacher and a horse thief to a minor nobleman under the rule of Winterfell. He has his own manor and people near the Wolfwood in Winterfell.

With Ed's help, Phelan fell in love with Barbaret Dustin, a widow from Barrenton.

After awakening the talent of the skinchanger, when Ed fell asleep, his soul often attached to the body of the direwolf Nightwalker, wandering in Winterfell at night, the godswood is the favorite place of the direwolf.

Almost every night, through the direwolf's nocturnal eyes, Ed could see Madame Ballerina and Ferran meeting in the godswood under the gaze of the weirwood heart tree.

Now, Mrs. Ballet took Ferran back to Barrenton, which frightened Ferran, and he immediately ran to the hall to seek Ed's help.

"Lord Ed, what will the Dustin family think of me when I follow Mrs. Ballet back to Barren Tonkun? They will definitely think that I am pursuing Mrs. Ballet because of Barren Tonkun."

The direwolf walked in the night and the sun, watching Ed and Ferran, Ed said: "Of course the Dustin family thinks so. Deron Dustin, Paul Dustin, Steve Dustin , Jason Dustin. These people have children, and they certainly hope that, when Mrs. Ballerina dies, they or their children can inherit Barrowton and Castle Blight Hall."

"Mrs. Ballet is the widow with the richest dowry in the north of the Neck. Back then, many vassals in the north, even nobles in the Reach and the Stormlands, hoped to marry Lady Ballet. Whoever married Lady Ballet, You will be able to rule Barrentown together with her. You are Mrs. Ballet's lover, and if you follow Mrs. Ballet back to Barrentown, the Dustin family will of course be hostile to you."

The Dustin family ruled the vast barren land to the east of the First Men River. Barren Town is the third largest settlement in the north except for White Harbor and the winter town. The coat of arms of the Dustin family Rusty crowns on the crossed battleaxes, for they are descendants of the old and proud Barren Tomb King.

The Dustin family not only has an ancient and noble lineage, but even today, among the many Stark vassals in the North, the Dustin family's strength is only comparable to the Bolton family of the Dreadfort and the Manderly family of White Harbor.

As the widow of Barrenton and the head of the Dustin family, Mrs. Ballet has a noble status and prominent status. In comparison, Baron Ferran Barrett's status and territory are nothing to mention.

Phelan wore a blue velvet tunic, a moleskin cloak fastened with a silver pin fashioned into the shape of an archer, and the archer, the coat of arms of House Barrett, was outlined in gold thread on his chest.

Although Ferran Barrett was full of flamboyant appearance and new aristocrats, when he thought that he was going back to Barrentown with Mrs. Ballerina and faced the hostility of the Dustin family, Ferran Barrett felt in a flash. The Baron, who seemed to have turned back into a poacher in the Wolfwood, a horse thief in the Streamland, frowned.

"Lord Ed, I love Mrs. Ballet, not because of her territory and castle. I love her. I don't want the Dustin family to misunderstand me. And Mrs. Ballet's father in the stream, Brothers, they will definitely object to Mrs. Ballerina being with me, Earl Rodrik still remembers that I am a horse thief in the streamland, and I stole horses from his horse herd back then."

A scent of perfume wafted into the hall, and Mrs. Ballet walked in wearing a crimson linen dress and wearing crystal-colored bearskin boots.The former ballet lady loved black, but after she fell in love with Ferran, the ballet lady began to prefer red.

"The horse thief started to complain to Mr. Ed?" Mrs. Barbaret yelled at Feilan with a look of contempt, "Feilan, you look like a dog in clothes, others say you are a horse hero, a demon shooter, in fact , You are a coward in your heart. Are you afraid to marry me because of the opposition of the Laswell family and the Dustin family? "

Ferran lowered his head like a child, "I just want to."

Mrs. Ballet turned to Ed, "Master Ed, I once thought that Ferran was your brother Brandon, and his riding skills are indeed not inferior to Brandon. However, Brandon is a wolf and Ferran is a sheep." .”

Ed stroked the direwolf Night Walk, "Mrs. Barbaret, it's not fair to Phelan if you say that. Brandon is the heir to Winterfell, and the noble peers in the north were all Brandon's followers back then. , Brandon has enjoyed flowers and applause since he was a child, and he is very charismatic personally."

"As for Ferran? He used to be a stable boy in the streamland, herding war horses for your father, the Earl of Laswell. He was humiliated because he couldn't eat enough from a young age. Later, he stole the horses and fled to the wolf forest to become a thief Hunter. Phelan is considered poor among commoners, and it is not easy for him to become a commoner hero. It would be too harsh for you to demand him according to Brandon's standards."

Madame Ballerina pulled up a carved chair and sat down in front of Ed.

"I've been a widow for many years at Barrow Hall, and I've turned down many suitors, Umber the Whorebane, Ser Wendel Manderly, Walder Frey, Galbert Glover, they're either bad old men or they're tasteless , Ferran is the only person who makes me feel passionate, I plan to marry him, shouldn't I be strict with him?"

Ed glanced at Feilan, "Feilan will definitely go to the barren village with you, don't worry."

"I don't think so." Mrs. Ballerina looked at Feilan with some disgust, "As soon as Feilan heard that he was going to hold a wedding with me at the Barren Hall, he peed in fright, just like the Dustins and the Laswells. It would be as if someone could eat him. He is just like a plow horse on the battlefield, at a loss and full of fear."

Ferran said cautiously: "I think it's better to hold the wedding in Winterfell."

"The wedding must be held in the Barren Hall." Mrs. Ballerina said in an unquestionable tone, "otherwise I won't see you again in the future."

Ferran was at a loss, and looked at Ed with help-seeking eyes.

Ed said: "Ferlan, don't worry, I will go to the Barren Tomb Hall with you to attend the wedding between you and Mrs. Ballerina. At that time, many nobles in the northern region will attend."
