The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Chapter 133: Between heaven and earth, only Bran

According to the will of King Robert, Prince Joffrey became Ed Stark's adopted son.

According to convention, Prince Joffrey should have started with Ed Stark's attendants.

Being an adopted child basically starts from being an attendant.

Servant, a way to advancement. For ordinary people, this is an advanced way of status. For Joffrey, Robert hopes this is a way to advance his talents and character.

Both Ed Stark and Robert Baratheon have been adopted sons, and they all started by serving as foster fathers.

Jon Alling, Duke of Eagle's Nest, regards Ed and Robert as his own sons.

However, Joffrey is just the nominal adopted son of Ed Stark-he is unwilling to consider Ed Stark, the northern stone, as his foster father, let alone a portable northern stone. Attendant.

Joffrey was disappointed when he arrived at Winterfell with his father Robert. The Winterfell of the Eddard Stark family was too rudimentary. The tallest watchtower in the city collapsed and was unable to repair. The traces of the fire still remained. It's simply a broken building in the countryside. Moreover, let alone the cold weather, the food is not exquisite enough. The tea is full of northern bitterness.

Joffrey despised the northerners. He also looked down on Ed Stark, who looked like a poor countryman, with no aristocratic luxury or dignity in his clothes.

Queen Cersei is more firmly opposed to Joffrey being the adopted son of Ed Stark.

King Robert Queen Cersei wrestled, and Joffrey eventually became Ed Stark’s adopted son, but not Ed Stark’s attendant. To make Joffrey serve as the servant of the vulgar Northlander, he was unwilling to kill Cersei.

Therefore, Prince Joffrey is only the nominal adopted son of Ed Stark, and Ed Stark cannot train and guide Joffrey in any substantial sense. Joffrey still lives in the luxurious palace of the King's Tower.

Robert hopes that his son will learn from Ed Stark's good wishes for bravery, strength, loyalty and honor.

Despite this, Joffrey still has his own bedroom in the Prime Minister's Tower. He lived when he was happy, and the only one who looked forward to Joffrey's stay in the Prime Minister's Tower was Sansa Stark.

The little girl fell in love at first sight and fell in love with the tall and handsome Joffrey with blond hair and blue eyes.

Today, Sansa was taken by the queen's attendant to speak with the queen. Ed Stark went to the throne room to discuss matters. He is also the prime minister and the king. This is his daily business. In two months, King Robert only went to the throne room to discuss matters three times, and if anything happened, he also summoned Ed to talk in his private room. Arya is very busy every day, and most of them go to Heishuihe to practice swords with her dance teacher.

The Prime Minister's Tower is usually only Bran.

Bran was young, but Shen Xiong's arm strength gradually spread to the Red Fort in King's Landing. His climbing ability is jaw-dropping, just like a real humanoid spider. With the permission of King Robert, as long as he avoids his father's eyes, he can show off on any tower in the Red Fort. But the prerequisite is that he has to protect himself first to ensure that he will be suspended in the air by a rope when he misses, instead of falling to the ground and becoming a pool of jam.

Robert's special order from the king made Ed Stark disgusted.

However, when Bran showed his father the iron hook and long rope he had prepared, and was assured of personal protection by the captain of the guard, Jory Kelso, his opposition was no longer so strong and unnegotiable.

Bran can climb any tower he sees as long as he carries his father's eyes. ——The king has orders, no one can interfere.

In the garden under the Prime Minister's Tower, there is a huge spear target. This is a unique spear target, because there is a round hole in the middle, which just allows a spear to pass through.

The other spear targets are solid spear targets, and the practitioner throws the spear into the red heart in the center of the spear target to win. And Brandt passed the spear through the hole for success.

This is very difficult.

Because the spear is very long. The tip of the spear is in the center of the spear target. The tip of the spear passes through, and there is a long spear shaft that has to maintain the same strength as the tip of the spear. All shot through the round hole.

This is an almost impossible challenge.

But Bran was going to complete this impossible challenge, because as long as he threw his spear through the hole three times in a row without shaking the spear target, King Robert would make him a knight.

Every morning, Bran practiced his spear projection.

After finishing the morning spear projection practice, Bran would hang himself from the high door frame of the bedroom with **** every morning, leave his feet off the ground, and then stand still. Change the other **** when you are tired. This exercise lasts for a whole morning, at least three hours each time.

He enjoys it. And his arm strength is like his size and muscles, maybe just drinking cold water, he will grow taller and stronger.

In the afternoon, swordsmanship training was done immediately.

Just beside the spear target, stood a huge wooden pillar with a solid wood stick that could rotate 360 ​​degrees horizontally. On one end of the wooden stick hung a half-person high shield. The shield was painted with human facial features and limbs, and it was covered with the marks of the sword that Bran had smashed on it on horseback.

On the other end of the stick hung a mallet wrapped in cloth. Bran was riding his horse named Xiao Wu to practice swordsmanship. As long as the sword stabs or smashes the shield, the shield will rippling away. At this time, the mallet at the other end will rush towards Bran. Bran must ride Xiao Wu to escape the attack of the mallet and hit the target on the dangling shield again: either hand, or foot, or face.

Bran's Ma Xiaowu also has a saddle, his own clothes, spear and sword targets and archery targets, all white.

Because his dream is to become one of the seven guards of the royal forest next to the king, and the guards of the royal forest are called white cloaks, and they all wear white cloaks that symbolize purity and loyalty.

Every day, Bran worked hard to practice the spear target, the sword target and the necessary finger strength to climb the tower, and his reputation spread as fast as the wind. In just two months in Red Fort, he became a well-known little celebrity.

Who can climb to the top of the King’s Tower in the Red Fort with bare hands. On the top, the people looking at the square below are like the villains in the Lilliputian Country, while the people looking at him below are so tall that many people can feel it when they look up. dizziness.

Soon, Bran’s reputation surpassed his father Ed Stark. People like him very much. His smile is sweet, the person is sweet, and his expression is a little shy. His strength and agility are just like his height, and he grows up every day.

This makes Ed Stark's adopted son Prince Joffrey very uncomfortable.

Moreover, many courtiers also compared Bran's appearance with the handsome face of Prince Joffrey, and concluded that each had its own victories. And Bran's reputation for being humble and polite obviously surpassed the prince's domineering.

As a result, a duel between the two children finally inevitably happened. In the garden under Ed's Prime Minister's Tower, where Bran practiced his spear target, the two children came to a meeting under the witness of the captains of the guards of both sides. Training sword fighting, the result is obvious, Prince Joffrey was severely beaten by Bran: his lips were torn, half of his face was swollen, and one eye was slapped.

In the downed Joffrey’s Hysteria, Bran dropped his training sword and quickly climbed to the Prime Minister’s Tower.

Under the tower, Joffrey cursed a few angrily from time to time, walked around nervously with the hand-held training sword, and slashed at the sword target from time to time. The attacking mallet at the other end of the sword target was caught by the Lannister guard in the red cloak, preventing the mallet from spinning and hitting the little prince's face.

Bran hung a rope around his waist and climbed to the highest point of the Prime Minister's Tower. Looking at it, Bran was full of pride.
