"Why her? Who is she?" Harwin was puzzled.
"She is …" Facing Danny's' cold 'gaze, the old Potion shuddered. "She, she is … the heir of an exiled lord."
Then the old man slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh, I got it wrong. It has nothing to do with her! She is only sixteen years old. Although she is more cunning than Tywin now, she was still young and weak back then. She should not have been able to interfere with the affairs of the Seven Kingdoms. "
I wanted to send you directly to the Great Wall, but now it seems that I have to take you to the Northern Frontier to see the snowy scenery.
Yes, I will let you have a good talk with the real master of the Northern Frontier.
"I still don't believe it." The old Potion knew nothing about his future and continued to talk. "Maybe it is all a coincidence, an accident. I don't believe that Littlefinger can cause chaos in the Seven Kingdoms by himself."
"It is hard to believe." Hayle and Barristan nodded in agreement.
"I have seen Littlefinger." Harwin glanced at the gloomy Madam Stoneheart and smacked his lips. "I can take on ten of him!"
Danny could not be bothered with these fools. She asked the old Potion, "Don't you know the power of wisdom? How does the current situation compare to the Dance of the Blood Dragon? "
The scholar was weak and did not even have half a territory. How did he manage to kill the powerful Targaryen with his schemes?
"This …" The old Potion's expression changed drastically. He fell silent and began to think slowly.
"What did Littlefinger do?" Madam Stoneheart's voice was as cold as a viper's.
"How did Littlefinger deal with Duke Stark?" Danny looked at Barristan.
He was involved in the palace coup after Robert's death.
The old knight thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what Littlefinger promised Prime Minister Stark, but he did betray the Prime Minister. At that time, Eide Stark thought that he had bribed the Golden Robes (the garrison of the capital).
But when he gave the order to capture Cersei, the Golden Robes killed all the northerners. Obviously, they had joined Cersei long ago.
Petyr himself put a dagger to the Prime Minister's neck and said with a smile, "Didn't I warn you not to trust me?"
"You are …" Caitlin stared at him for a while. "Barristan?!"
"What? 'Fearless' Barristan?" Everyone was shocked.
Harwin and the Third Hound drew their swords and looked at the old knight warily.
"Are you really Ser Barristan?" Britney could not help but ask.
Barristan nodded and took off his helmet, revealing his face completely. He came to Madam Stone Heart's table and bowed: "Madam, I am Barristan Selmy. I am deeply sorry for what happened to you and Prime Minister Stark."
Danny facepalmed with a helpless expression. Perestan, who was deep in thought at the side, revealed a gloating expression.
"You —" Madam Stoneheart looked at the White Knight with hatred.
"Why are you complaining about him?" Danny sighed. "Joffrey even stripped him of his white robe. The White Knight has never been humiliated like this since he was born. Do you think he is Cersei's confidant?
I dare say that neither Eide Stark nor Cersei wanted to rope him in. He was just a confused passerby the whole time. "
"I still know some things." The old knight blushed and said awkwardly.
"And you, who are you?" Madam Stoneheart turned her cold blood-red eyes to Danny.
"Guess."
Madam Stoneheart looked at the old knight and then looked at the delicate girl under the firelight. Silver hair and purple eyes …
"Barristan, can't leave. King, you are Targaryen, Danny Liz Targaryen!"
Madam Stoneheart's hatred was overwhelming. In an instant, the stone cave seemed to have opened up. The cold air penetrated into people's souls along with her voice, freezing their bones. Everyone who was shocked by Danny's identity did not dare to make a sound.
"Uh, did I offend you?" Danny was puzzled.
Madam Stoneheart stood up for the first time. She held her throat with one hand and pointed at Danny with the other. She said a long sentence with hatred.
Danny did not understand at all because she spoke too quickly and too long.
"Madam said that you cursed King Robb. About a year and a half ago, after the Battle of Babbling Forest, King Robb dreamed of you …" The big Harwin had a strange expression on his face. He hesitated and stammered. He stole a few glances at his madam. Seeing that she was still determined, he had no choice but to continue. "You cursed him in the dream … It was a horrible dream. In a hall, there were cups and plates in a mess, and there were dead people everywhere. King Robb himself was beheaded and sewn with the head of a Tundra wolf.
"Didn't that happen at the Blood Wedding?" Perestane said in surprise. "Robb Stark actually predicted the Blood Wedding? What, what is going on? "
"Madam, you are not lying? Did your son really dream of that scene? " Barristan stepped forward in shock and said in disbelief, "We also … No, it's Her Majesty Danny Rize. She also predicted the Blood Wedding."
"What? You also predicted it? " The old professor almost broke down. The world was so mysterious that everyone could predict the future. How could the City of Knowledge plot against them?
"What is going on?" The big man muttered.
"Let me calculate. When Her Majesty saw the Blood Wedding prophecy in the Immortal Hall, in Westeros time, it was probably …" Barristan thought for a while and said a date.
Madam Stoneheart's pupils suddenly shrank when she heard that. "It was that day!"
"Someone wanted to change history and failed." Danny's face was gloomy. "Damn it, that bastard actually connected the cause and effect to me!"
"Who wants to change history? Why are you talking nonsense? Isn't that the future? "The red-nosed old man said in confusion.
"Standing at the point of time after the Blood Wedding and reminding Robb Stark before the Blood Wedding, it was changing the future for Robb, but for that person, it was changing history."
"This …" The others were confused, but the old professor's intelligence and knowledge were enough to understand Danny's words. But because he understood, he found it even harder to accept.
Foretelling the future was not the first or second time, but the person in the future changed the present (the past?). Wasn't it too mysterious?
"How is that possible? Who is he? "
"Who else could it be that wants to save Stark?" Danny asked.
"It must be another Stark. Could it be the son of the Young Wolf Master?" The red-nosed old man was puzzled.
"Son?" Madam Stoneheart's eyes widened and asked anxiously, "Jenny is pregnant?"
The Jenny she was asking about was definitely not the female bandit beside her, 'Long Legs' Jenny.
"No, I mean illegitimate child. Does the Young Wolf Master have an illegitimate child?"
"My son, clean and good."
So your son has no descendants.
Danny shook her head and said, "Your wife will never be pregnant with Robb's child. Her mother won't allow it!"
"Why?"
"You still don't know that your in-law is a spy for Duke Tywin?" Danny was shocked.
"No, no, Reynold … is very loyal. He would rather die than surrender." Madam Stoneheart took a deep breath.
Reynold was Jenny's brother. He had attended the Blood Wedding with Robb, but he didn't know that his mother was in cahoots with Tywin. During the incident, Frey had been persuading Reynold to surrender. He even told him that his mother had a part to play in the Blood Wedding and that they were all on the same side.
But Reynold still refused to surrender. After Grey Wind (Robb's Icefield Wolf) died in battle, he jumped into a river filled with despair and shame to commit suicide.
He was definitely a very loyal subject.
That was why Madam Stoneheart had never doubted the Westlin family.
Danny sighed. "Maybe Reynold didn't betray you. But his mother, your in-law, only received benefits from Lannister. She didn't receive any punishment at all.
For example, your daughter-in-law's uncle, Robb Speiser, has been promoted to Count of Kasteme.
A mere merchant became a count in a single step, and a Count of Kasteme at that. You can see how much effort he put in for Lannister. "
"No, that's impossible …" Madam Stoneheart shook her head. "Jenny wouldn't betray Robb."
"It's true." The old professor sighed. "You're uninformed here, so you probably don't know. Just a week ago, Rapidflow City's Jaime and Lannister were taken down. Your uncle Blackfish's whereabouts are unknown. Your brother Eide Mull was stripped of his fief and title. He will spend the rest of his life under Casterly Rock's watch.
On the other hand, Madam Sebel (Robb's mother-in-law) and her three children were not punished. Instead, they were rewarded generously by Lannister. Apart from a title and marriage, even Queen Jenny's life was saved and she can remarry. "
"Hehehe …" Madam Stoneheart slumped in her chair and laughed like an owl. "Betrayal, traitor …"
"Madam, aren't you forgetting something?" Danny reminded her. "The Westlin family of Cliff City is actually Lannister's vassal. The northerners pillage and burn in the Western Region and are the enemy of all the nobles there. Don't you even know the relationship between us and the enemy?
And what kind of person is Tywin?
Everyone knows about Kasteme's Rain.
What gave you the misconception that the Westlin family would rather give up Cliff City, which has existed for thousands of years, and risk being exterminated by the ruthless Duke Tywin to side with the northerners?
They were captured by the young wolf master. That's true, but captured nobles can be ransomed. Everyone knows that.
Being captured doesn't mean losing your title or land.
And even if there's no Bloody Wedding and Jenny Westlin goes to the North and becomes the queen of the King of the Northern Region, what can the Westlin family get?
A new land?
Everyone knows that's impossible. There's no land left in the Northern Region.
Giving up the title of count, giving up the rich and historical Cliff City, and going to the North to become a jobless knight, the Westlin family will be cut off. No one in their right mind would do that. "
Dani said a lot of things, and the others nodded in agreement.
But Madam Stoneheart didn't listen at all. She only scratched her face and pulled her hair, cursing in a terrifying and cold voice, "Betrayal, betrayal …"
Danny finally understood that no matter how good Stark's family was, they couldn't hide a fatal flaw: they were used to thinking about problems with their own heads.
Seeing Madam Stoneheart go crazy and almost go crazy, Danny felt like she was watching a horror movie. Damn it, she was dealing with the dead!
And the dead were mentally ill.
It was scary just thinking about it.
So she decided not to provoke her any further. She had to say something nice. "Madam, you don't have to be sad. After all is said and done, only one of your five children died."
"What?" Madam Stoneheart looked up.
"We saw your youngest daughter, Arya Stark, on the river this morning … Oh, yesterday morning."
"Which river?" Madam Stoneheart asked anxiously.
