Eagle of the Valley of Ice and Fire

Chapter 95 Trout, Direwolf and Eagle (3)

It was very cold in Twin River City in the early morning. The servants had already lit the stove in the main hall. The heat gradually spread in the closed main hall, dispelling the chill.

"Where is Lord Robb Stark?" Attis asked after a slight hesitation.

"Please forgive me," Roose Bolton bowed his head slightly, "Lord Robb. He just heard that his father passed away."

Attis nodded. He understood this feeling. Compared with the flat and vast Twin River City, the Eagle's Nest City only had cold gale winds that could try to make the brain faint for a short time to relieve the pain. But here, at least you can control the situation on the plains. The horse gallops to dispel resentment.

However, Attis was vaguely looking forward to it. He looked at the northern princes who were seated in the main hall and observed their expressions. Although the sad atmosphere was the main color, there was a faint impatience in the eyes of many nobles as the king had not yet arrived. Rickard Ka Earl Stark even looked a little annoyed and ashamed. After all, strictly speaking, everyone in the Valley and the Riverlands gathered in the main hall, but his own lord...
He needs time, but time is priceless, especially now, just like when he took over the Eyrie City. Attis took a sip of red wine and looked at the closed front door of the main hall. He expected Robb... Stark's performance will affect his judgment on the subsequent negotiations.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Attis," unexpectedly, Edmure Tully spoke first, "my sister, Lady Catelyn, she stayed up all night and cried all night. I miss my nephew." Same thing."

"It's normal for my lady to be like this. Lord Robb, Lord Robb Stark, the Duke of Winterfell will never fall into love between his son and his daughter easily!" The Great Jon ruthlessly denied the words of the Lord of the Riverlands, and firmly Frowning, he looked at the closed door of the main hall.

"I believe," Attis decided to speak for Robb, who had just inherited his father's title, "Duke Robb will be as strict in his self-discipline as Lord Eddard, and he will soon fulfill his duties as the Guardian of the North."

Yohn Royce nodded immediately. He sat solemnly on the stone chair and looked at Attis, who was sitting alone on the main seat of the high platform.

The closed door of the main hall slowly opened at this time, and the light belonging to the sky instantly shone on everyone's faces.

The newly appointed Duke of Winterfell and Warden of the North, Robb Stark, walked into the main hall, holding a broken long sword in his hand. It was obviously damaged by continuous heavy blows with blunt objects. Attis noticed traces of tears. On Robb's face, it wasn't completely wiped clean.

He stood up and walked off the platform, "Duke Robb, I'm sorry for what happened to your father. Lord Eddard and I also have a deep friendship." Attis looked at Robb, this was his true thought.

"Of course," Robb said with determination in his tone, "My father has been my father's adopted son for many years, and the friendship between the Starks and the Arryns has been connected for generations." He sat on the other side of the high platform, like Attis Nodding slightly, "I think we can talk about business now, Duke Attis."

The house was silent, and the woman with messy hair sat blankly on the bed, with a pillow soaked in tears next to her.

There was no light in the house, and Caitlin seemed to want to block out everything that could be thrown into the room. She closed the windows tightly.

During this period, only Robb Stark entered, and even her brother Edmure Tully just lingered in front of the door, comforted her with a few words, and then hurried to the main hall of the Twins.

Everyone is busy, and she only wants to be quiet at the moment. She does not want to accept the news that Ned is dead when she should be busy. She should pray in the godswood, in front of the seven gods. If there is a weirwood message from the old god, She would kneel before Ned's god, kiss the roots of the tree, and pray for a miracle.
The door was gently pushed open, but Caitlin didn't hear any movement. Her attention had already flown out of the door. Ned's bloody head hung on the gate of King's Landing, her eyes widened.
The soft voice of "Mrs. Caitlin" came from Caitlin's ear. She turned around and saw that it was a girl. Her delicate face seemed to be the most conspicuous among the women in Twins City. But Caitlin was not in the mood to think about this. Her thoughts were messy. There was no main thread running around in his mind, only the desperate and crawling figure of Ned covered in blood.
"Lady Catelyn," Roselyn walked up to Catelyn, gently took the lady's hand, and sat beside her bed. Attis arranged himself to try his best to comfort the lady. She must do a good job, "I'm sorry."

Caitlin forced a smile, "Thank you, my lady." The short words and evasive movements showed Caitlin's rejection at this time.

Roslin took a slight breath, and she stretched out her arms to hug this noble lady who had just lost her husband.

Caitlin in her arms was obviously stunned for a moment, but her unsatisfactory choking and trembling still confirmed her vulnerability. She seemed to have lost half of her sky.

"First eat Jaime Lannister's partial army," Robb pointed at Riverrun City, "let Blackfish's army trap the armies of the West on both sides, stick to the Kingslayer, and let the cavalry from the North and the Vale intersperse and outflank them." Why are you helping the Riverlands?" Lynn Corbray frowned, seemingly not seeing the valley princes who were obviously leaning towards the Wolf-Hawk Alliance.

Edmure frowned, "Jaime Lannister's army is here."

Linn interrupted and said that he noticed that there was no accusation in his Duke's eyes, "The Kingslayer's army can't cross the river at all. Blackfish is guarding here, so there is no need to worry. At this time, he should go straight to King's Landing and take control of the river." Tywin Lannister’s twenty thousand troops will be eaten!”

Attis said nothing. He quietly watched the debate among the people.

"My sister, Sansa! We are still in King's Landing at this time. Tywin will be entangled with Stannis and Renly first. We can try to capture the Kingslayer in exchange for Sansa!" Robb pointed at the map and said in a tone of voice. said firmly.

"To destroy the Kingslayer is to help Tully," Jon Grafson, who had been silent until now, said, "Why? Who can give us a reason?"

"No one can give us a reason. The Tully family's trampling on the dignity of the valley is not over yet!" Lynn Corbray smiled disdainfully.

"Duke Attis," Edmure Tully quickly looked at Attis, "take down the Regicide, and the land of the West will be open to all."

"The West has nothing to do with us." This sentence was surprisingly neat, and Jon Grafson and Lynn Corbray almost said it in unison.

"Duke Attis," Bronze Yohn finally spoke. Attis's eyes moved slightly. He had been waiting for Yohn's statement, "If it is convenient, we will be alone."

Attis nodded and walked out of the main hall with Jon.

"The Stark family and the Royce family have been married for many years and have become like brothers. Lord Eddard must avenge Royce." Yohn Royce said frankly and straightforwardly.

Attis smiled slightly. The relationship between Royce and Stark was well known in the valley. Even if the Stark family died, the heir would have to be found from the Royce family.
"I'm still worried that you have some hidden thoughts, Count Yohn." Attis lowered his head slightly and looked at the flowers and plants at his feet, and said calmly.

"But the troops brought from the Erin Valley are all elite and are not suitable for participating in large wars," Bronze Yohn said cautiously, looking at Attis's expression.

Attis stroked the hilt of the sword slightly and looked up at the sky.

"Take away your own men and ask Marvin Bellmore to follow you and march to Harrenhal. It will serve as a fulcrum for Stark to move south and support Harrenhal," Attis said, looking at Royce. Leave the troops of the Bellmore and Royce families in the Twins to you, and for the rest, I will only help ensure the Stark family's logistics."

"Why is there Bellmore?" Jon was slightly puzzled.

"Just do it, Lord Yohn." Attis returned to the main hall.
