Eagle of the Valley of Ice and Fire

Chapter 94 Trout, Direwolf and Eagle (2)

Caitlin's sonorous oath did not receive a response from Attis, and this episode did not affect the normal progress of the dinner.

Theon, the heir of the Iron Islands and the Greyjoy family, was holding a wine glass high, slapping his right hand on the long dinner table in the Twins City, dancing to the beat of the Frey family minstrel's drums.

This ironborn looked the same as the northerners around him, but his clothes were more gorgeous. He was the most active at the dinner, trying to blend into the conversations of the valley nobles.

Edmure slowly swallowed the meat in his throat, and looked at Attis, who was enjoying a drink with Lord Tytos Blackwood at the moment, and it was difficult to suppress the eagerness in his heart.

Lynn Corbray, who was very rude to others, seemed to be chatting happily with his bodyguard, Patrick of the Mallister family.

Edmure exerted a little force, and the meat filling on the plate in front of him was smashed by the fork, making a "knot" sound.

He did not see Lord Walder or his heir.

Only an insignificant character named Walda Frey accompanied her sister. During the meal, she carefully raised her head several times to observe the people around her.

Edmure Tully once again thought of the crescent falcon banner on the walls of the Twins, and his anger surged into his heart like rising well water.

"Duke Attis." During the dinner, there was a brief lull in voices. At this moment, Roose Bolton's soft voice came. He raised his glass and sat in the banquet.

Attis nodded slightly and put the wine glass in the air, "Earl Bolton."

He looked at the "Master Leech" in front of him, and those surprisingly pale eyes entered Attis' sight first.

"The north and the valley, the ice and the mountains," Roose Bolton stood up and raised his voice slightly, "At this time, they have united. The Lannister considers itself a lion, but facing the wolf," Roose Bolton Bolton pointed the wine glass towards Robb, "With the eagle," the wine glass moved towards Attis, "I can only wait for the wind to return."

Luce said without waiting for Attis and Robb to respond, "I drink first as a token of respect, for Lord Eddard."

The Great Jon of the Umber family dropped his palm on the table and stood up immediately. "For Lord Eddard!" He raised his head and drank in one gulp.

"For my father!" Robb said loudly, standing up from the main table.

"For Ed!" A familiar voice came from under the high platform, and Attis looked there. The person who stood up was Yon Royce, holding a wine glass, standing next to the Great Jon.

Attis stood up and raised his wine glass, "For Duke Ed." The wine tasted slightly bitter in his mouth.

"I didn't see Lord Walder Frey!" Edmure said angrily in front of Catelyn.

Catelyn shook her head slightly, "I know, Edmure."

"Attis Arryn has imprisoned them just as he imprisoned Lysa!" Edmure paced the room anxiously.

"You need to calm down, uncle," Robb told him, standing next to his mother.

"How should I calm down?" Edmure turned to look at Robb, his eyes trembling in his sockets. "The Valemen occupy half of the Riverlands, control the Twins and the Green Fork, and also control Harren. Castle and God's Eye Lake! I can't calm down. My father still doesn't know what it will be like to be tortured by Lannister."

Edmure slumped down on the soft bed, his throat trembling slightly, and his words seemed to be choked.Catelyn looked at Robb, and the latter nodded, turned and left the bedroom.

Catelyn sat gently next to Edmure, holding her brother's back slightly, "Father will be fine. No matter how crazy the Lannister is, he will not hurt his father. The most intolerable thing they can't tolerate is these easy to tell the truth, which is harmful. A matter of family honor.”

Edmure breathed lightly, "You are right." He shook his head, "I am still too useless. My father is old and I should have been allowed to guard the territory, but now I have lost half of it. If Without my uncle, I would have given Riverrun even"

"Never, never put yourself down, Edmure." Catelyn grabbed her brother's arms with both hands, twisted her body, and looked directly into Edmure's eyes.

Edmure looked at his sister at a loss, and Catelyn frowned tightly. At first, she thought Edmure was mature enough to become a qualified lord, but now she found that she was wrong. Her brother's tenacity even Not as good as many strong women.
"If father were not here, you would be the Lord of the Riverlands, Edmure," Caitlin lowered her voice and spoke like a warrior, "Don't cry, don't let outsiders see this side of you, never! Never!"

Seeing Catelyn's determination, Edmure swallowed and nodded slightly.

"Brynden, our uncle, commanded tens of thousands of troops in Riverrun, blocking the footsteps of the Kingslayer's army. These are your troops! Now, your nephew, Robb, will lead the northern army south to save the army. My husband and daughters, Ned and Sansa," Catelyn said, thinking about what Robb had said to her before, "tomorrow is the negotiation with Attis Arryn, and my father has been looked down upon by the Seven Kingdoms. "

Upon hearing this, Edmure was obviously stunned. The first thing that came to his mind was his father's old and feeble face.

"And you need to act like the Lord of the Riverlands and the future Duke of Riverrun, and cooperate with Robb as much as possible to realize Brynden's plan, okay?" Caitlin looked at Edmure, This sentence was an attempt to wake up Edmure, but also to comfort herself. She had made too many mistakes, and let Edmure and Robb, who should not have to bear all this, bear all this.

Edmure nodded, his eyes now firmer than before, "Trust me, sister."

Attis rubbed the letter in front of him heavily and looked at the content of the letter in disbelief.

Maester Bennett stood quietly, with his head slightly lowered, trying not to look at the Duke's reaction.

"Set the city on fire"

"Catapult Attack on the Red Fort"

"The Prime Minister was executed and his head was hung on the city gate by King Joffrey's order"

The words contain madness, ignorance, and all unreasonable elements.

Attis tore up the letter from King's Landing. He guessed that the night that should have been dominated by carnival and drunkenness might now be filled with the wails of widows and the roars of relatives.

"Duke Attis, this must not be taken lightly!" Marvin Bellmore's cheeks trembled slightly, and he frowned and looked at Attis.

The indignation from the captain of the Eagle's Nest City Guard seemed to calm Attis instantly. He turned to look at Marvin Bellmore, "You also respect Duke Eddard."

Bachelor Bennet frowned slightly. The Duke's words seemed to have a positive tone, but there was an unusual inquiry.
"When Lord Eddard was in the Eyrie, he had a very close relationship with my father, and he often invited Duke Eddard to Hongge as a guest," Marvin said, "Duke, we should march to King's Landing together with the Stark family! "

Attis closed his eyes and did not respond immediately.
