Eagle of the Valley of Ice and Fire

Chapter 22 "Mrs. Tully"

The main hall of the Eagle's Nest City is not that big compared to other famous castles in Westeros. In addition, the distance is long and rugged. Very few vassals will travel long distances to the Eagle's Nest City to report to the boss of the valley. Due to the situation, the Arryn family used the family's main castle in the past, which is now the Gate of the Moon controlled by Lord Nestor Royce, as a place to meet with vassals. In order to cultivate the heir's ability to handle government affairs, this place is usually used as a place to meet with vassals. The castle was treated as a fiefdom for the heirs.

This is similar to what Dragonstone is to Targaryen. The talker of the Gates of the Moon is often regarded as the number two figure in the valley.

But at this time, the talker of the Gate of the Moon climbed to the top in person, arrived at the Eagle's Nest City, and met with Attis in the main hall of the Eagle's Nest City.

There were piles of letters of various types, some reporting on neighboring castles for seizing water sources, some reporting on third-tier nobles who had nothing to do with conflicts and disputes, some scolding the lord next door for having a mistress to give birth to a bunch of illegitimate children, and miscellaneous matters piled up. One piece occupies the entire desktop.

Attis held his forehead and frowned at the hill in front of him and the Valley Steward, Lord Nestor Royce, who seemed extremely relaxed at the moment.

"Master Nestor, how do you usually handle these affairs?" Attis had no experience in this and could only ask for advice.

Nestor rubbed his palms awkwardly, his slightly white beard rising and falling, and he replied: "Pick out a few things that deserve the most attention, including those involving territorial disputes that lead to fights, and those related to the Alpine clan. These things that may require a knife, give them priority.”

While listening, Attis filled up the wine and filled a glass for Nestor. He quietly looked at the steward who had worked diligently for the valley for more than ten years. He had not forgotten the real reason why he summoned Nestor. .

"Master Nestor, you have worked really hard these years." Attis said from the bottom of his heart.

Nestor took a sip of wine and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. This is all due to Duke Arryn's appreciation."

"I have asked the bachelor to release the ravens, summon the vassals, and prepare to wipe out the mountain clans in the Mingyue Mountains in one fell swoop." Attis said straight to the point.

Nestor's heart tightened when he heard this, and he quickly tried to dissuade him: "Lord Attis, I know you are very good at fighting the savages, but the Alpine clan has been severely suppressed by your army, and they are now very timid. , there are very few plunders on the roads of Arryn Valley, so why go to war and waste money and effort?"

Attis was not in a hurry to explain. He quietly whispered a few words into Nestor's ear. Nestor suddenly realized that he was pacing in the main hall. In a situation where ordinary people should be anxious, Nestor was extraordinarily calm. He Calmly said to Attis: "Master, I will do my best to cooperate."

After Nestor asked for permission to leave, Attis stood in front of the moon door in the hall. This narrow weirwood door was engraved with the shape of a crescent moon. Almost all executions in the Eagle's Nest City were carried out through this door. door, allowing the criminal to fall directly onto the valley rocks 600 feet below.

Attis released the news and conscripted many nobles in the valley in the name of wiping out the Alpine clans, asking them to lead troops closer to the Gate of the Moon. At the same time, he ordered the Blood Gate to remain closed and to deny outsiders entry into the valley.Most of the troops of the valley nobles were to be gathered at the Gates of the Moon and the surrounding military fortresses, and they needed countless supplies and medicines. He specially wrote to Seagull Town to ask the Grafson family to hoard supplies and strengthen management in order to replenish the army. required.

He came to the garden of the Eagle's Nest City. It was originally intended to be a sacred forest, but unfortunately the soil was too sparse, so it had to be turned into a garden.Attis was sitting on the bench, and the monks and sisters were praying silently beside him. They were unaware of his arrival. Attis imitated the monks and prayed for news of his father's recovery as soon as possible.

But the first news to come came from Dragonstone Island.

"A letter from Stannis Baratheon, Lord Attis." In the evening, the maester handed over the envelope.

Attis opened the letter. He had never heard of the content inside, and his nails dug deeply into the letter.

"Lannister.", Attis muttered.

In Lysa and Robin's bedroom, the maid thoughtfully brought hot milk, smiled and teased little Robin with her fingers, but inadvertently met Lysa's vicious eyes.

The maid was startled and quickly retracted her hand, trembling and lowering her head.

"Drink this glass of milk." Mrs. Lysa's words left the maid confused.

The maid asked "Huh?" in confusion, but was frightened again by Lesa's high-pitched voice, "I said, drink! Drink! This glass! Milk!"

The maid hurriedly took a sip of milk. Fortunately, the temperature was adjusted just right, otherwise she would have been burned all over her mouth.

Lysa looked at the maid with satisfaction, "Pour another glass, you filthy thing."

The maid quickly said yes, stumbled out of the room, packed her clothes outside, and gasped loudly in shock.

The bachelor happened to see this scene when he passed by. He just looked at this scene with doubts and did not stop his steps and returned to his residence.

Lysa drank milk, and Robin happily played with the wooden pony made by the carpenter, muttering words such as "Knight, Sir".

She remembered Littlefinger's words.

"Teardrop, put the teardrop into the Prime Minister's wine glass. This will be good for us and Robin's future. Lysa, you need to take control of your life. Think about who will hinder the happiness of the two of us, who?"

At that time Lysa had two names in mind, "Jon Arryn" and "Attis Arryn".

"Yes, Lysa, the other teardrop is hidden on the necklace. After the two Aelins are gone, you and Robin, including me, can live together and never be separated." Little Finger kissed Lysa at that time lips, whispering in her ear.

"You have to tell Attis that you want to return to Riverrun and be a strong mother in front of him. This will make him relax his guard against you, let him take the initiative to approach you, and let him try to comfort you. Then, you can"

Lysa did as she was told, but Attis made no other move except arranging a warm place for mother and son and a bunch of maids, not even a word of condolences.

Lysa once saw Attis in the main hall. He seemed to be dealing with government affairs. Lysa wanted to try to enter, but the blue robe outside the main hall door said nothing and would not let her in. There was no dignity in her identity as the Mistress of the Valley. Word.

Lysa does not let the maester enter her room now. The maester is serious every time he comes in, and persuades Lysa to remember her duties as a duchess and send her dear little Robin to Runestone City to serve as a squire to Bronze Yonn.

She didn't see her majesty as a duchess in anyone now, so there was no need to talk about responsibilities. Lysa felt that she was going crazy. She grabbed her hair in front of the maester in vain to scare away the maester who was trying to persuade him. .

The maids whispered behind their backs, and Lysa always passed by with a sneer. Don't think that the Duchess of the Vale would be fooled by the childish and innocent maids. She endured these noises until she heard what the maids were saying in the garden.

"Sir Attis is so handsome. When I went to deliver him wine, I saw the way Sir Attis handled the letters seriously. He was so handsome!"

"Unlike the skinny little Master Robin, I was scared the last time he had a seizure!"

"Oh, serving the lady is so terrible. I didn't even dare to say a word when I went in."

"Maybe it's because my son is so inferior to others. Oh, God bless me."

Lysa was furious, her face twisted, and she rushed out of the corner of the garden, yelling at the gathered maids. Her sharp voice quickly attracted many people.

Knights, maesters, squires, damn grooms, my God, even the garden servants are gathered around?The doubtful and disdainful looks around her magnified in Lesa's eyes, and she couldn't help but scream. "Petyr! Where are you!", she screamed loudly and fell to the ground.Gradually, the crowd dispersed, and Lysa raised her head, it was damn Attis.

"Madam." Attis stretched out his hand to help Lysa up, and Lysa felt Attis' gentle tone. "It's time for you to go back to your room, ma'am. You can meet me in the main hall tonight."

Chance!The opportunity has come!My life with Petyr is coming, tonight!

Lesa nodded excitedly. Her neurotic mood seemed extremely unstable to others. Just a moment ago, she was screaming and crying, but now she was expressing her joy.

Attis smiled, and the people around him looked at all this with ridicule.

Lysa stayed in the room, dancing happily. Even little Robin was puzzled by her mother's behavior and looked at Lysa in confusion.

"Little Robin, I promise, we will be free from Attis soon, I promise!" Lysa hugged little Robin tightly and cried with joy.

Little Robin was not as happy as Lysa imagined. Instead, he curled his lips and frowned tightly, "Why do you want to break away from Brother Attis?"

"Brother?" Lesa was a little confused.

"When Mommy was away these days, my brother Attis played toys with me, and there was also a real knight game!" When talking about Attis, little Robin was a little excited.

"When!", Lysa screamed.

Robin seemed to be used to Mommy's overreaction, and said to himself, "It's when I find someone to play with when you're not with me."

"No! You can't, I don't allow it, it doesn't matter, good Robin, everything will be back to normal after tonight." Lysa's eyes suddenly showed a cruel look, and she placed one hand tightly against the neck of Bo. necklace.

The Eagle's Nest is the first castle to see the sun set, Lysa thought, as the sun plunged into the embrace of the mountain gorge, countless lakes reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, and the sacred light filled the giant's spear, shining brightly.

Lysa held the wine bottle and the wine glass in her hand, and confidently stepped into the main hall. The blue robe wisely made way for her.Lysa raised her head proudly. Attis was sitting on the throne of the King of the Valley in the middle of the main hall, looking at Lysa below the stage.

"You want to see me, Lord Attis." Lysa said.

Attis stood up and stepped off the stage, bowing to Lysa, "There is no need to be so polite, Mrs. Tully."

"Mrs. Tully?" Lysa wondered briefly, then poured the wine pretending to be natural. The tears on her necklace had long been hidden in the wine. "I found that our family has not had a good drink since King's Landing. , Attis.”

Attis watched everything she did and saw her holding the wine glass and passing it to his hand.Attis picked up the wine and raised it into the air, the smile on his face unchanged.

"Have a drink? Jazz." Lysa stared at the wine glass in his hand, but did not notice the blue robe behind her gradually approaching.

"Mrs. Tully, are you still in contact with Littlefinger?" Attis asked with a smile.

Lesa didn't react. Just when she was about to speak, she was hit hard on the back of her head. She felt dizzy and passed out.

"Master Bachelor, please take this bottle and check it." Attis said to the side of the main hall.

The bachelor trotted out, ignoring Lady Lysa on the ground, picked up the wine bottles that had fallen on the ground, and ran out of the main hall without looking back.

"Place her in a room and don't allow her to come out. If her father wakes up, report it to him. If not," Artis paused, and the blue robe quietly listened to Artis's instructions.

"Let's talk about it then," Attis replied weakly. He just felt exhausted now.

The blue robe left the main hall, and the last rays of the setting sun shone through the open door of the main hall and shone on Attis's face. His shadow lay prostrate at the foot of the throne, like a imprisoned prisoner.

Tyrion was lying on the velvet bed in the room that James had arranged for him in King's Landing. The female slave girl beside him handed him peeled grapes. The sweet and sour juice filled his mouth. Tyrion burped with enjoyment and lay down. In the gentle countryside.

The door was pushed open rudely, and Tyrion raised his head dissatisfied. It was his brother, James.

"Tyrion, how long have you been lying in bed?" Jaime opened the curtains unceremoniously, and the light of the setting sun poured into the room.

"Then..." Tyrion opened his mouth and pretended to bite the girl next to him. The girl ducked away with a sweet voice, and left the room under Jaime's rude gaze.

"What's wrong, Jaime, if you defeat my good deeds like this, you have to pay me ten boxes of golden dragons!" Tyrion muttered dissatisfied.

"The king has decided to go north, Tyrion, I can't leave you in King's Landing." Jaime knew his brother very well. He knew that his brother had always wanted to go to the north, especially to see the Great Wall.

"Going north?" Tyrion put on his trousers, "Where to, the Riverlands?"

"To Winterfell.", Jaime replied.

Tyrion was even more puzzled, "Why did our dear King Robert leave the gentle land of King's Landing?"

"The prime minister is dead, Tyrion. I can't help the king's temporary order." Jaime replied calmly, and Tyrion saw a trace of happiness in his brother's eyes.

"Dead!?" Tyrion lifted up his pants in surprise, "Then what does the king want to do?" Tyrion already roughly had the answer in his heart, but he didn't say it clearly and just followed in shock. James left the room.

"Robert seemed very angry. He sent a raven to ask the dear Eagle of the Vale to meet him at Harrenhal and ask him why he left Jon Arryn's side." Jaime said to himself.

Tyrion choked, "That's not necessarily the case. The squire and bachelor beside the prime minister have told Robert the truth a long time ago. Could it be the heir's old trick of killing me?" He reluctantly mounted the horse and stretched his muscles.
James did not answer. He frowned tightly. In fact, he also had a suspicion about the death of the old prime minister. He even suspected that Cersei had done such a thing without telling him.

Seeing that his brother didn't answer, Tyrion had no choice but to follow silently and said no more.
