Eagle of the Valley of Ice and Fire

Chapter 31 Confession
Ed rarely lied in front of Caitlin. Almost every time there was an important matter to be dealt with, Ed would always discuss it with his wife, but most of the time Caitlin would follow his own decision, even though they sometimes had different opinions.

He left Caitlin's room, he lied, the king did not call Eddard over, the direction Eddard was walking was the direction of Attis's room, Eddard wanted to confront Attis personally, this is Winterfell, It was the North and he was not afraid of any enemy.

Jory took the Winterfell guards to guard Eddard, and he knocked on Attis' door.

"Please come in." Attis's voice was slightly tired.

Ed walked into the door and saw Attis, who was studying at his desk. The latter's face looked a little pale.

"Lord Ed, I'm sorry, Bran," Attis stood up and said to Ed.

Ed waved his hands and looked sad, "It's not your fault, Attis." He sat on Attis's bed, "Sit down, I have something to ask you."

Ed's eyes gradually became solemn, although there was still sadness in his eyes, "Attis, do you have anything to explain about Mrs. Lysa? Is she imprisoned in the Eagle's Nest by you?"

Seeing that Attis didn't look panicked or lost his position, Ed felt a little relieved.

"Yes, Lord Eddard, Madam Lysa is in a room in the Eagle's Nest City, and I have sent people to guard her closely." Attis said calmly.

Ed frowned tightly. He was horrified by Attis's frankness. He was angry and sad at the same time. There was rebuke in his words, "So, you confessed?"

Seeing Ed's repressed anger, full of majesty, Attis didn't know how Ed got the news, but he didn't panic. He just faced Ed's selfless questioning and replied: "I'm not guilty. Lord Eddard."

Ed narrowed his eyes slightly, slightly confused.

"Lysa intends to poison me, Lord Eddard. The entire Eyrie knows this." Attis said.

Ed shook his head and smiled incredulously. He had received so much information these days that he didn't know whether any of the information was true or false.

"Why did you hide it? Not only did you hide it from me, but even Robert didn't know." Ed's tone became excited, and Jory outside the door was ready to make a move.

"I must hide it, Lord Ed." Attis took a deep breath and looked very helpless.

Ed felt kept in the dark again, and he frowned as Attis continued to explain.

"I just left King's Landing with the people from the valley, and my father fell seriously ill and passed away. It's such a coincidence, the timing is too coincidental," Attis said with difficulty as he seemed to have lost his strength.

Attis closed the book and continued: "To tell you the truth, when I learned that my father was seriously ill, I suspected that something was wrong in King's Landing."

"I've been doubting it all day, why?" Ed seemed to find it difficult to listen to Attis' explanation and asked aloud.

"Father's order, Lord Eddard." Attis stared into Eddard's eyes, "I left King's Landing to accept my father's order."

Eddard frowned and interrupted: "Robert told me that your father wanted to use this to reject Robert's proposal."

"No, that's not the case. This is King Robert's own speculation." Attis ignored Ed's doubtful eyes and continued: "Father asked me to return to the valley to assemble the army and prepare for war."

Ed was silent. He took a deep breath and asked, "Is it because of the Queen's case?"

"After I received Stannis's letter, I realized that this might be the reason." Attis said.

Attis saw Ed's lips parted slightly, with a look of total confusion on his face.

"The king is surrounded by people I don't trust. If I tell him my father's order, then I can't explain the reason for the order. Moreover, there are too many Lannisters around the king. The king may be trapped in King's Landing. Dangerous situation. If I tell him Stannis's letter, I don't know what the outcome might be. The king may not believe it at all, and be angry at my cunning and frame-up, or maybe he will be furious on the spot and want to track down the Lannister on the spot. ." Attis continued as he saw Ed's serious expression gradually softening.

Ed remained silent.

"The evidence that Lysa intended to poison me is in the Eyrie City, but the Eyrie City is so closed that everything that happens inside can be faked. I'm afraid that if I tell the truth, no one will believe it, and I will be suspected. ." Attis's hands were shaking slightly. He has been under this kind of pressure recently, this kind of pressure that he knew the truth but was afraid of doing anything.

"This is the reason why I concealed this matter, Lord Ed." Attis gradually regained his eyesight and stared at Ed.

"My father asked me to trust you unconditionally, Lord Eddard." Attis said, "Can I trust you? Lord Eddard."

Ed frowned tightly, and he never relaxed his brows from the beginning. "Of course, kid, as long as what you say is true." Ed relaxed.

Attis looked at Ed's solemn face and said softly: "I don't believe Lysa can accomplish this alone. Why did she want to kill me? Where did you get the poison? Why did she do it when my father was tracking down Lannister?" ? My father was poisoned, who was he harmed by? This timing is too coincidental, Lord Ed."

Ed was almost stunned. He tried his best to grasp the key information and asked: "Do you suspect there is someone else?"

"If Lysa wanted to poison me, then I'm afraid my father was also harmed by Lysa." Attis made his own accusation.

Ed's voice was low, "You have no evidence, Attis."

"Lord Ed, you don't know how careful my father's guards are in King's Landing. Even his daily food and drink are under strict surveillance." Attis said, "Unless someone close to you takes action."

"And Lysa doesn't have the guts to act like this. There must be someone else behind it, and they even want to take this opportunity to turn our finger on the Lannister." Attis expressed his thoughts.

Ed was completely speechless. He looked at the frighteningly calm Attis in front of him in disbelief, but the 17-year-old young man looked unusually familiar with strategy.

"What you said is not entirely unreasonable, Attis." Ed thought of Lysa's letter and said, "I'm afraid someone in the Eyrie has already leaked the news that Lysa is under your control." Ed gave the secret letter. Tell the whole story.

When leaving the room, Ed only left one sentence, "When I go to King's Landing and investigate the two incidents together, I will give you an answer, Attis, but I just hope you didn't lie to me."

Attis stretched his body tiredly on the bed. He knew very well that telling Eddard this was an extreme risk. He had to go to King's Landing with Eddard, bringing the blue-robed guards of the Arryn family, and advised Eddard to bring more Order the Stark family soldiers to go to King's Landing together. As long as the army takes root in King's Landing, it can at least compete with the Lannister soldiers. The situation will be under the control of Eddard and Attis. As long as Eddard finds out The truth and evidence can make the final decision.

As for the secret letter Lysa sent to Lady Catelyn, Attis did not believe that it was the blue-robed soldiers he brought from the valley to Winterfell. It could only be someone from this group of people from King's Landing. bring it here.Since this is King's Landing, I'm afraid there is only one candidate.

How did Littlefinger learn that Lysa was imprisoned by him?Artis simply thought of the poison-inlaid necklace that the maester secretly told him about Lysa's neck, and roughly guessed that Lysa seemed to be treated as a victim. Littlefinger had no intention of hiding Lysa from the beginning. , I’m afraid he intentionally imprisoned Lysa.

The corner of Attis' mouth curled up slightly. He slowly opened his eyes and spoke softly: "Weima, Robert, I hope you can give me good news. It's time to close the net and dig out even the smallest fingers."

He let his thoughts go to the sky, exiled to the valley, and saw Seagull Town embracing the sea, where his most trusted knight was executing Attis's orders.

In the tavern of Seagull Town, Weimar was wearing cloth armor and sitting alone in the tavern, quietly listening to the conversations of the group of diners at the table.

Words like "Eagle of the Valley!" and "The old Duke died of illness" kept "buzzing" in Weimar's ears like bees. Weimar drank the ale in boredom, and the bitter taste was quite consistent with his mood. similar.

Ever since Attis separated from him and asked him and his brother Robert to come to Seagull Town, he has been taking people around in countless taverns, canteens, gathering places of dock vendors, and even the women's branch in Seagull Town. , is only responsible for one thing, which is to listen to the wind and listen to the words.

Weimar didn't hear some of what Attis told him in the past few days, but he had a lot of unexpected fun. The innocence of the youngest daughter's family in the tavern was ruined by the eldest son of the blacksmith's family in the south of the city. There were famous nobles in Seagull Town. Ranking of lords' stomach capacity, which noble house did the courtesan from the other side enter today?
He was a little drunk, so he greeted the attendants sitting deep in the tavern and prepared to leave the tavern.

"I heard that the Prime Minister was poisoned to death" and "Mrs. Lysa was imprisoned in the Eyrie"

The long-lost words finally appeared in his ears. Weimar took a deep breath and pulled out the long sword from his waist, "Oh no, I finally found you."

The attendant also drew his steel sword and pointed it at the table of diners.

"In the name of Attis Arryn, Duke of the Eyrie, Warden of the Vale of Arryn, and Warden of the East of the Seven Kingdoms, I am ordered to arrest you!" Weimar shook his hair coolly, even though he had short hair.

The diners at the table hurriedly ran out of the tavern, but were knocked to the ground by Weimar's punch. Weimar's long sword stuck to the diners' faces, "Lord Lance, you must be in a bad mood after coming down from the customs position. How do you start? Are you doing the job of spreading rumors?"

"Sir, Sir, have mercy on me! I was ordered by someone else!" Lance's face instantly turned pale with fright, and he quickly begged for mercy.

"No rush, no rush." ​​Weimar said with a chuckle.His smiling face looked extremely scary to Lance.

In many parts of Gulltown, words of "In the name of Attis Arryn!" blossomed.

Many people were captured by the Royce soldiers and the blue robes of the Eyrie City who had been prepared.

Words stop with power.

　The plot has reached a turning point, and the outline needs to be adjusted. There are still many unreasonable places. Alas, it is so difficult to write a fanfic, let alone an original novel from another world...
