When they returned from the intermission, Danny immediately noticed Jon's abnormality.
From time to time, he would look at her with an intimacy that gave her goosebumps. When she looked back at him, he would give her a shy, fawning, husky smile.
Danny did not think that he would fall in love with her after a few hours of rest.
So, what caused him to change in such a short time?
"My original target was not Lannister of Casterly Rock." Erya's confession interrupted Dragon Queen's thoughts.
"From the beginning, I planned to use the Rat Chef's method to punish Wade Frey for violating the guest's rights.
But before I could get close to Riverrun, he moved his family to Casterly Rock.
Outside Casterly Rock, I caught up with the Frey family.
I replaced one of Wade Frey's attendants with the Faceless method and followed him into Casterly Rock. First, I cooked one of Wade's sons and watched him drink 'Frey soup' and eat 'Frey pie'. "
"Seven Gods — Ugh!"
There were gasps and loud retching sounds in the hall. They had just eaten meat pie and drank broth during the intermission, so when they heard 'Frey soup' and 'Frey pie', it was as if they had become Wade Frey who had eaten his son's flesh.
Dragon Queen wrinkled her nose and summoned two Wind Elves to block out the sour smell.
"Count Mandler has already cooked two Freys and made them into Frey pie for Roose Bolton and the rebellious lords in the North. Didn't you know?" she asked.
Her words caused another commotion in the crowd.
"Mother of God, there have already been two Frey pie?"
"It seems that there was such a thing. When Stark conquered Winterfell last year, he caught a few Freys and Count Mandler revealed the secret in public."
"Mother of God, these northerners are too cruel."
"Poor thing, all three of his sons have become Freys. Old Wade seems even more pitiful than the Andal king in the Rat Chef's story."
.....
"I know." Arya nodded numbly. "But Wade Frey is the culprit. He must be punished."
"If you didn't want to deal with Lannister, why did you attack Lannister of Casterly Rock City?" Jaime asked in a low voice.
"Not all the Freys were involved in the Bloody Wedding. My target was only Walter Frey and his son. The other Freys were similar to my feelings for Lannister.
They were dispensable. They would not deliberately target them, nor would they deliberately avoid them.
If Waldfrey had been alone, I would not have poisoned him.
In fact, when old Wade ate his pie, I killed him that night and made a pot of Wade soup out of his flesh.
The next night everyone at the party drank Wade's soup. “
"Seven deities …"
"The first female devil in the Westeros in the last twelve thousand years!"
"Bloodseeker, you live up to your name."
"I feel a little sorry for Frey."
The hall was filled with screams again.
Arya's gray eyes were emotionless. She scanned the hall indifferently. Wherever she went, everyone held their breaths and lowered their heads in fear, not daring to look at the Devil Queen.
"After killing old Wade, my target was only his hundreds of descendants. Their hands were stained with the blood of my mother and brother.
So, I had to kill them all.
With so many people, I could not use a knife like I did to Waldfrey. Poisoning was my only choice.
Although 874 of them died, my target was only 189 male Frei heirs. The rest were all collateral damage, but I don't care. "
"Mother of God!" Tyrion groaned. "We should have stopped Frey from entering Casterly Rock City."
"How could you kill so many innocent people?!" Jaime said with red eyes.
Erya's cold gray eyes met his blue eyes that were filled with grief and accusation. She said clearly, "In King's Landing, in front of the Great Cathedral, I saw with my own eyes that my father's head was chopped off by Joffrey. On the road to Hejian, I saw with my own eyes that the lion killed many of my friends. In Ruanhe City, on that nightmarish night, I saw with my own eyes that the soldiers of the Northern Territory were slaughtered. I saw with my own eyes that the Freys chopped off Robb's head and then sewed the direwolf's head on his neck.
They even put him on the back of a horse and led him in circles while they cheered and played. They used the vilest words to insult my brother, my mother, Stark and the northerners. "
"I saw it all with my own eyes, and you ask me how I could do it? From the moment I decided to take revenge, I had the resolve to drag my enemies down to hell with me.
Not to mention that Lannister and Frey are my enemies. Even if it were a normal person, I wouldn't hesitate to kill them if they got in my way of avenging my family. "Arya said resolutely.
"You, you were there that day?" Jaime asked with a trembling voice, his face pale.
Erya said coldly, "I was there when the White Knight led the Golden Robes into the Tower of the Hand and killed the Northerners' guards, maids and wet nurses.
I was there when Ilyn Pyne cut off my father's head. I could even smell the warm blood spurting from my father's neck.
On the night of the Red Wedding, the Hound took me to River Delta. He wanted to find my brother and use me as a ransom, but I ended up in hell.
I was in hell that night, because the mortal world shouldn't have such a terrible scene.
I was only a few steps away from Robb. I saw him in his new robes. I saw the gray direwolf emblem on his robes dyed red with blood.
His blood mixed with Grey Wind's and spilled everywhere. In the end, they even urinated on his corpse. As they urinated, they insulted my mother with obscene words.
I was so helpless then, like a maggot, writhing in the Hound's arms. I cried, and he hit me. I wanted to fight those demons, but he kept hitting me. All I could do was cry.
For revenge, I went to Braavos alone and joined the House of Black and White. I was only nine years old that year.
That year, I lost my identity as Arya Stark. I was the lowliest servant in Braavos.
Doctor Wargrave's plays about the Faceless were all correct. You've all seen the life I led in the plays.
I stayed in Braavos for four years!
It was the desire for revenge that got me to where I am today.
In my heart, there's always been a notebook filled with the names of my enemies. In order not to forget them, every night before I go to sleep, I recall their faces and evil deeds. I recite their names.
"Sir Gregor, Dunson, 'Sweet Mouth' Raff, Sir Ilyn, Sir Marin, Queen Mother Cersei, Joffrey, Valarmorghulis, Valarmorghulis, Valarmorghulis …"
She closed her eyes, just like she had done countless times before she went to sleep.
As she chanted 'Valarmorghulis' over and over again, a chilling Yin energy seemed to rise in the hall.
It wasn't an illusion.
As the murderous intent rose in her heart, Erya unconsciously activated the Death God Meditation Technique. The power of death and ice surged like a tide, and the hall was almost dragged into a world of death.
Danny's eyes flashed. She secretly used the Stranger's power, and the hall returned to normal. Everyone felt like they were in a dream. They only felt that Arya's aura was strange and eerie, but they were confused by the changes just now. They thought they were hallucinating.
"After waiting for so many years, finally, the chance for revenge is right in front of me. If you were me, would you be able to do it? "She stared at Jaime and questioned him coldly.
Jaime closed his eyes, as if his bones had been sucked out. He slumped weakly on the chair.
At this moment, he only felt pain, and there was no longer any trace of hatred. The child was right. She had seen her father, brother, and mother die in the cruelest way. No one would hesitate when faced with an opportunity for revenge.
Besides, Frey and Lannister were her enemies to begin with.
Tyrion's expression was solemn. He had nothing to say.
Jon's eyes were filled with pain and pity. He wanted to say something but stopped. Words of comfort were too shallow. He even started to blame himself for not being able to protect his sister and letting her go through such a terrible experience.
Sansa covered her mouth and wept silently.
When the others in the hall looked at the stupefied Arya again, there was no more hatred and fear in their eyes. Instead, there was more sincere sympathy and respect.
If they were in Arya's shoes, they would not hesitate when the chance for revenge came if they saw their family being tortured and killed one after another.
Or rather, they would not think that Lannister and Frey were innocent at all.
They would kill their enemies, men, women, old, and young, without leaving a single one alive.
Even Danny was deeply shocked. She had always seen Erya as a bloodthirsty child who killed mercilessly wherever she went. She had never considered the impact of the outside world on her.
As Erya said herself, when she was nine years old, she stood in the crowd and watched helplessly as her father was beheaded a few steps away. She could do nothing but cry. She went through a lot of hardships and finally came to River Delta from King's Landing thousands of miles away. (King's Landing was thousands of miles away from River Delta, but Erya did not travel in a straight line. Instead, she made a big circle between the rivers.) When she was hoping to hug her mother and brothers for comfort, the greatest tragedy happened to her. The Red Wedding took place in front of her eyes. She watched helplessly as the wolf's head was sewn on her brother's body.
That was why she longed for power. She went to Braavos. When she had power, no one could stop the return of the Goddess of Vengeance.
Speaking of which, Erya was the most affectionate and righteous of the Wandering Power Rangers. Why did she put Hound on Erya's blood list?
Because Hound killed Butcher's underling, Michael. (At the Ruby Beach, she had a duel with Michael with wooden swords. Emperor Joe had a chance encounter.)
Why was Arcane Mountain on the blood list?
It was not because Arcane Mountain did anything to her or Stark. It was because of Arcane Mountain's atrocities in Hellen Castle. They burned, killed, and looted.
Who was that "Sweet Mouth" Raff?
He killed Arya's little friend, Milo. (Wave Crow Yulun was recruiting Night Watchers in King's Landing. Erya disguised herself as a boy and hid in the team. Milo was a member of the Night Watchers.)
There was also the White Knight, Sir Marlin. He killed Erya's "dance" teacher. (The chief swordsman of the Sea King who taught her the Water Dancer.)
There were many more. They were listed with Eide's murderer. Erya remembered them well. It showed that she was indeed a vengeful person. It also showed that she was a loyal person.
Looking at the whole book of the Song of Ice and Fire, only she, Danny, and Rize had taken revenge for the ordinary people at the bottom.
Of course, Erya's loyalty could not deny the fact that she was a Blood Child. Many times, she would kill people for small things. For example, people threatened her, scolded her, beat her, or robbed her.
In general, Erya was a "chivalrous person". She did things based on loyalty. If she was not happy, she would kill. She would kill one person in ten steps and would not leave anyone behind.
"Sigh, tell me, how should we punish her? Sir Jaime, Tyrion, you are involved. You go first. "After a long Silence, Danny sighed.
"Your Majesty, you decide. I will accept whatever the result is." Jaime's expression was dejected. There was no hatred or relief in his eyes. There was only endless desolation.
"I think …" The dwarf's eyebrows seemed to be twisted into a fried dough twist. "Erya has a good reason for revenge. But so many people died in Casterly Rock. I can't accept her being acquitted."
"What do the Freys think?" Danny looked at the Freys.
