The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

The so-called family often does not refer to a person born out of nowhere, but refers to a family's accumulated heritage through generations.

Nobles are more meanings with historical and long-term accumulation.

This is the case with the Gavin Westlin family in the West.

The bloodline is noble and pure, and has a long history. Even if his family was in a dilapidated state and was not as good as some small nobles, the honor and reputation of his nobles always crushed other nobles who were much wealthier than him. The Westerlin family is famous for its etiquette in the Seven Kingdoms. It is as expensive as Lannister, and it has to give the downright Patriarch Westerlin a good place in public gatherings. This is the bottom line.

Even though the houses of many nobles in the West Territory are larger than Gavin’s, and more land than Gavin’s, and Golden Dragon is richer than Gavin’s, in the eyes of the world, once these nobles are compared with Gavin Westlin, they still have Add a small print before the nobility.

Gavin Westling, who is nothing compared to these nobles, is a well-deserved noble.

The real aristocracy is not established in one generation or two generations. The foundation not only refers to wealth and strength, but also has many other influences.

Will was born a thief, the family has no strength, and the family background is zero.

Similar to the Tywin Lannister family who lost everything, whether in the West or in the Seven Kingdoms, as long as Lannister is mentioned, everyone will recognize that they are great nobles. This is the foundation. If a little bit of Tai Wen's blood is still alive, there will naturally be someone who will follow them whenever there is a chance. This is the power of the foundation.

Will has no background.

Among the real nobles, his foundation is not thin, it is not at all.

Caitlin agreed to marry Will and offered to let her righteous daughter Mia Stark marry him, which is not to humiliate Will. Judging from the eight thousand year-end accumulation of the Stark family and the strong background of the Tuli family, it is enough to make up for Mia's status as a righteous daughter. Moreover, Mia Stark has already got the surname of the Stark family, which has unusual significance in the Northern Territory and the Seven Kingdoms.

Mia Stark’s own father Robert Baratheon was the ancestor of the Seven Kingdoms, and her family cousin Shireen Baratheon is now the King of the Seven Kingdoms. These relationships, for Mia Stark, who has obtained the official status of aristocracy, belong to her family heritage.

Since it is a political marriage, then the so-called love is not in the scope of consideration at all, it is only about political interests.

Gavin Westling and Caitlin Tully face each other.

Both the Westerling family and the Stark family have a very glorious past, and the Stark family also had a tragic moment when they were almost wiped out, but because of the power of the Stark family in the north, they quickly rose and remained Is the Lord of the North.

The Gavin Westling family has the same thousand-year history. It used to be glorious for a time, martial arts in Wenzhi, Megatron to the west, and then declined to make ends meet, and now the family quickly rises again with Jane's marriage. But-if there is no "good, noble and comprehensive talent and character for aristocratic ladies" accumulated by Westerling's family for generations, she will not have the elegant characteristics that distinguish it from other ladies, and she will not be able to impress Robb at all. heart of. This is a kind of power of true aristocratic heritage.

Caitlin was born into a noble family and was well-educated since she was a child. She married Ed Stark and it was not at all because of love. It was because Ed Stark’s brother died that she married the "stranger" Ed, who had never had any relationship.

Despite his familiarity with political marriage, Gavin Westlin was surprised.

His target was Sansa Stark, he hadn't thought of Mia Stark at all.

Caitlin smiled, graceful and luxurious, her proposal seemed feasible.

Gavin said: "Mrs. Catelyn, as far as I know, Sansa Stark is to Lord Will..."

"She's still a child who doesn't know anything at all." Caitlin showed maternal brilliance. "She will understand my heart in the future, as if I understand my father Horst now.

Caitlin is not too satisfied with the marriage of Jenny Westlin. The impulsive free marriage of young people has a fatal flaw and never considers the other party's family background. And this is the basis for a nobleman to be passed on from generation to generation and continue to maintain status, honor and power.

Only by combining strong forces can we be stronger.

"Master Gavin, we are now a family. Jenny and Robb's children have connected our two families together. Can you do me a favor?"

"Madam, please order!"

"I'll go to Mia Stark, I believe she will agree; you go to Lord Will, if possible, I hope to get engaged as soon as possible. Since Lord Will is going south to do great things, we naturally can't delay him."

"Uh...well, ma'am, I will do my best!" Count Gavin stood up and greeted.

*

Count Gavin was slightly disturbed, he could not report to Melisandre, nor could he ask Melisandre for advice. Melisandre was not suitable for attending Ed Stark's funeral because of the burning of ten of Robert's illegitimate children, so she did not come to Ed Stark's funeral after the valley was settled down.

Littlefinger Petit and Lysa Tully did not come back to attend Ed Stark’s funeral. Lysa Tully had forgotten Ed Stark and her sister Caitlin behind her head. Married to Petir. But Petyr was rectifying the valley army and preparing to take the Royce family territory.

The Royce family's territory is on an island. Petir decided to advance by land and water. After taking the Royce family, the entire valley was conquered. The little nobles did not yield, but they used the bronze Jon as their banner.

Littlefinger Petyr’s waterway army, headed by Robert Royce, brought together the warriors and soldiers on the Three Sisters, and Ed Stark’s fleet from the Blackwater River in King’s Landing. With more than 200 warships captured in the waters of the island, Littlefinger Petil himself led the valley army, the Western Army, the Hejiandi, the Northern Army, the 500 cavalry, the Great Wall Army, and the coalition troops marched from the land.

Robert Royce led more than 300 warships to attack his family's territory. This was also the battle that made him famous in the Seven Kingdoms.

Cocoa!

Someone knocked on the door.

Robb motioned Jenny to stay still, and he got up to open the door, where his father-in-law Gavin Westling was standing.

"Father!" Jane sat up.

"Don't move!" Gavin smiled. The daughter is pregnant with a child.

"Master Gavin!" Robb bowed.

Gavin hurriedly returned the courtesy: "My lord, you are welcome."

Robb Stark has inherited the title of his father Ed Stark, becoming the Duke of Winterfell and the Lord of the North.

"Father, what's the matter?" Jane Bingxue was smart, and immediately picked out the purpose of her father in front of Robb. She expected it to be pretty good.

Late at night, Earl Gavin came to the bedroom of his daughter and son-in-law, which was not an ordinary move.

Robb looked at Earl Gavin and stopped talking, and smiled: "Sir Gavin, you are also my father. Please tell me anything, you are welcome." Robb glanced at Jane's slightly raised belly. " Thank you for being considerate of my negligence."

The so-called snub is that Robb and Jane have not yet held a grand wedding.

This is something that hurts the honor of the Westlin family. The Westlin family is an ancient family with a long history, and its family is the oldest in the West.

But Gavin Westling has no complaints. Of course, his family has also become one of the five major families in the West, annexing the territories and gold mines of several great nobles, these things are very affordable.

"Master Duke, I do want to report something to the Lord Duke."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

So Gavin told him and Mrs. Catelyn about the marriage, and he suggested that the Stark family should marry Sansa Stark and Will.

The relationship between Robb and Will is very complicated, but the relationship between the two is beyond the depth of ordinary people but it is certain.

Robb walked back and forth in the room for a while, and said, "Master Gavin, I still want to listen to my mother's opinion."

"I know, I am just making a suggestion to Lord Duke, it is only my personal suggestion."

Afterwards, Gavin said goodbye politely.

*

Gavin went to find Robb because Robb is now a duke. As long as he agrees and persists, Caitlin's opinion will not be the master in the end.

In a family, the largest is the patriarch; in the north, the largest is the lord of the north. Regardless of government affairs or family affairs, as long as Robb is willing, he will have to do what he says. Anyone else's opinions are for reference only. Of course, Caitlin is not incapable of being in power, unless Robb is a cowardly person, just like Duke Robert Allyn of Eagle's Nest, and Lysa Tully is in power.

Judging from the private life of Robb and Jane, once Robb made up his mind, he would not change because of his mother's opinion.

Especially since he is now the Duke of Winterfell.

Gavin's personal advice is very vicious, he also risked offending Caitlin, but between Caitlin and Robb, he chose Robb, which is definitely right. And beside Robb’s pillow, there is his daughter: Jane Westerling.

Older gingers are more spicy!

*

Robb and Jane huddled together and whispered. Under Jane's invisible guidance, Robb and Jane discussed who Sansa and Mia were more suitable for Will.

The little couple was talking a little eyebrow, the door was knocked. Robb opened the door, and it was his mother Caitlin who came.

Caitlin and Robb talked together for a long time. Robb listened to his mother's opinion, and in his mother's almost pleading tone, he agreed to listen to her mother.

When Caitlin was leaving, she turned her head at the door and took a deep look at Jane's big eyes. The lady left with a ‘good night’ smile.

Caitlin's kindness surpassed Gavin's resourcefulness.

*

"Rob, you really want to marry Mia Stark to Lord Will?" Jane asked softly.

"Do you think Mia would disagree?"

"will not."

"So what about Lord Will?"

"He will accept it too."

The Will family has no background, whether it is political or military, he needs marriage.

"Then what are we worried about, go to sleep, and tomorrow I will be a witness to let Lord Will and Mia Stark be engaged in the sacred woods."

"But I'm afraid you will lose your two sisters." Jane said solemnly.

"What?" Robb examined his eyes.

"Your two younger sisters are in love with Lord Will."

"Aaliyah? Absolutely impossible. She is still a child." Robb said flatly.

"Sansa loves Will madly. She can't help herself. If you suddenly announce Will and Mia tomorrow, she will go crazy. For Arya, I admit that I have always regarded her as a boy, but I got your uncle Bunyan Stark’s reminder today, only to realize that Arya actually loves Will madly, but Sansa understands, but Arya herself does not.”

"Haha, how is it possible? Arya, but recently followed Will to learn various stealth skills, so the two people are together every day."

"It has nothing to do with learning, Robb, this is a woman's love for another man, it comes from the heart and soul." Jane said very solemnly, "Rob, I never lie to you, as your wife , I have a duty to tell you all the truth that my eyes and heart see. Robb, you are my love, believe me, every word I say to you is true."

Robb became irritable, got up and walked to the window, opened the window, and the cold wind came in and blew on his bare chest.

"Jenny, if you are all right, my three younger sisters and one Lord Will, what should I do?"

"Sansa Stark!"

"why?"

"Mia Stark does not have any love for Will. It will not be sad for Sansa Stark to be engaged to Will."

"What about Arya?"

"She will be sad, and she will run away from home when she understands that she also loves Will, but she will come back eventually. Because Sansa is her relatives, she will choose to compromise in front of family love. But if It's Mia Stark, she won't. Mia Stark and Alia have no blood and blood sisterhood. She will fight Mia to the end until Mia finally quits."

A hero, if he wants to achieve his greatness, maybe he needs a good wife, such as Robert and Jane.

Regardless of Gavin's resourcefulness and Caitlin's maternal affection, they are no better than the wise Jane's sword in Robb's ear.

"Why have we never thought about getting Lord Will and Arya engaged." Robb's eyes were thoughtful.

"Sansa can't bear to fail, but Arya can. Sansa is the biggest dream in Lord Will's life. Besides Lord Will, Arya also has battles in her life. Lord Will is not hers. only."

Robb was silent.

Because Arya is stronger, she wants Arya to quit, which is actually very unfair to Arya. At least she should be given an equal opportunity.

Sensual Robb, rational Caitlin.

"My three sisters, except for Mia Stark, Sansa and Alia are both young. I can wait another year for them to make a choice after a year. Maybe a year later, Sansa I don't love Will anymore, Arya also likes other young heroes."

Robb is a benevolent person and can't bear to see any of his sisters wronged.

"Absolutely impossible." Jane said lightly, "You drag on for another year, and Sansa and Arya will be in a deep sink for a year."
