Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web.

The sky was completely dark.

The leading "Kingslayer" and Kevan Lannister were fiercely arguing on the light screen.

Littlefinger watched coldly.

"The enemy is completely unprepared, what a great opportunity. Let's fire the cannons directly, and the whole army will charge, annihilating them completely!" Ser Symon Templeton, a knight from Nine Stars City in the Vale, suggested.

His image was displayed on the light screen.

Just like the real person, with a cold expression, a pointed nose, ice-blue eyes, and a beard that was darker and sharper than Littlefinger's own, like a raptor staring at its prey.

Littlefinger was no stranger to the people of the Vale.

Although Riverrun in the Riverlands occupied most of his beautiful or painful memories, he knew that he never belonged there.

He was Petyr Baelish of the Baelish family.

He was born in the family's fief—the smallest "Littlefinger" on the Fingers, where he spent his ignorant childhood.

Desolate rocky coast, strong winds howling, mountain goats on jagged boulders, scattered herdsmen.

This was all he saw when he opened his eyes.

How pathetic. Before leaving those rocks, he naively thought that the whole world was almost like this, and even thought that his father was some great man.

Embracing the arrogance and ignorance of a child, he gradually became familiar with, accepted, and got used to this environment.

Desolate rocks, bleak storms.

This was all he should have. And he should be grateful and extremely satisfied.

After all, his great-grandfather was just a sellsword from Braavos, serving the House Corbray of the Vale for life, and never advancing any further until his death.

It wasn't until the next generation—Petyr's grandfather—that he was finally knighted as a landless knight.

The family crest, a Titan's head, was established at this time. But Petyr didn't like the Titan, even though it was a man-made miracle that Braavos was proud of.

In fact, it constantly revealed the Baelish family's outsider status and humble bloodline, making them even more despised.

Later.

Perhaps it was the pity of the gods, but when it came to his father, the Baelish family finally had a change of fortune.

His father not only made meritorious service during the "War of the Ninepenny Kings", and was granted this fief and title, but also formed a friendship with Lord Hoster Tully of Riverrun, who fought alongside him.

Petyr was therefore fortunate enough to be sent to Riverrun as a ward.

This was the beginning of the whole story.

Petyr Baelish still clearly remembered. After receiving Lord Hoster Tully's affirmative reply, the joy and pride on his father's face were undisguised, and every word he uttered was full of anticipation and hope.

At that time, Petyr was not yet able to understand his father's reaction. He only had longing and curiosity for the outside world.

His father's performance was even more eager than his.

At that time, the sea conditions in the Narrow Sea were bad, and news of storms and shipwrecks kept coming, and many voyages were cancelled by the shipowners. His father immediately made a decision: to travel to Riverrun by land, departing immediately.

His father personally escorted him west.

He was full of anticipation.

However, the various experiences along the way shattered all his past perceptions, and then reshaped them into a distorted, high-above world.

The first stop on the journey was Longbow Hall of House Hunter.

Here, Petyr experienced intense malice from others for the first time.

Lord Eon Hunter of Longbow Hall and his sons spoke jokingly, acted frivolously, and even he, a child, could feel the contempt on their faces.

It was even more excessive during the meal.

The Hunters' table was filled with sizzling roasted meat, steaming meat porridge and thick soup, all kinds of pies, cakes, desserts, and fruits.

Petyr and his father only had hard black bread and smelly blue cheese in front of them.

Although the food at home wasn't much better than this.

But Petyr could certainly see the huge difference in treatment between the two groups of people.

He felt wronged and wanted to cry.

What shocked, angered, and even disappointed and pained him even more was that his father not only didn't reprimand them on the spot and punish these bad people, but instead sat there with a silly smile!

Petyr had seen this kind of smile.

The smiling faces of those humble commoners who came to the castle to pay taxes or request arbitration were like this. Just to please the lord, ask for forgiveness or rewards.

Why was his father smiling like this?!

Petyr's pale little face flushed red, and he was about to get up and shout at the bad guys, but his left wrist was firmly grabbed by his father under the table.

His father's strength was so great that he forgot the humiliation for a moment because of the pain.

Ser Jewood Hunter, the eldest son of the Lord of Longbow Hall, was very enthusiastic in helping him remember everything.

At that time, Jewood Hunter was in his early twenties, but he was already as stupid and annoying as he is now. He sang a clumsy ballad with no melody, incorporating the Baelish family's origins and his father's submission into the lyrics.

The lyrics were undisguised, and anyone who could understand the Common Tongue of Westeros could understand the meaning.

His father remained indifferent.

Petyr almost buried his head in the plate. He didn't dare to meet anyone's eyes, for fear of seeing contempt and ridicule in them.

The servants in the entire hall seemed to be killing him with their eyes.

The him who was full of naive fantasies was strangled. He hadn't completely died, but he had only lived a few more days.

The journey continued.

His father told him in the wild that his family's territory and title were not outstanding in the Vale, and that he must learn to endure and smile in the face of the difficulties of the great lords.

Then his father became more and more silent, and focused on rushing to Riverrun.

Petyr later learned that his "Littlefinger" originally belonged to the Hunter family, and because of his father's military exploits and the Hunter family's defeat, this "Littlefinger" changed owners.

He also understood that his father's choice was not wrong, but helpless.

But he was not yet grown up at that time, and was still entangled in the unfair treatment of Longbow Hall, and his mood was low, as if the whole world had dimmed a bit.

When he saw the towering white Eyrie, the endless mountains and valleys, and the endless stream of carriages and horses on the Kingsroad, he no longer had the simple smile he had at the beginning. Self-abasement, worry, and confusion filled him.

Until he arrived at Riverrun.

Catelyn, Lysa, and Edmure Tully became his playmates. Growing up together, laughter gradually led Petyr out of the shadows and looked forward to the future.

He really loved Catelyn so much.

Damn Stark! Corrupt old Hoster!

Catelyn was going to be sent to the cold Winterfell. Marry the arrogant and rude Stark?!

He finally plucked up the courage to resist, but all he got was a long scar and the punishment of Riverrun. He was "exiled" back to the Fingers.

Lysa also married Jon Arryn.

Petyr's future seemed to be destined: a small lord who would have no glory, be fearful, sad, resentful, and die silently.

He would never allow it.

Starting from the tax officer of Gulltown, an important town in the Vale, he returned to the stage and climbed up step by step, eventually becoming a big figure in the court.

But that was far from enough.

What's more, now he has returned to the starting point again, with no official position and no title.

How to get back to the top as quickly as possible?

Littlefinger silently watched the familiar faces in the light screen.

The Vale was no stranger to him.

"That's right, like a forest hunt, easy and pleasant, with a rich harvest." Ser Donnel Waynwood, the second son of Ironoaks, echoed.

Littlefinger smiled secretly.
