To be honest, when Wyman Mandler received the message that his granddaughter Vera brought to him with a raven, he almost choked to death on the Qingting Island golden wine he drank.

For God's sake, what on earth was this little bastard Clay doing in Winterfell?

Slaughtering Lannister like livestock in front of the queen, although Lord Wyman admitted that he was pleased, he was also frightened by Clay's boldness.

After receiving the news, he immediately issued a hush-hush order to the maester in charge of the raven, without even informing his two sons who were training soldiers outside, even though Wendell Mandler was Clay's father.

At breakfast the next day, he announced that he was going to Winterfell, and his eldest son Willis would look after the house.

Although it is strange, no one can disobey Earl Wyman.

So, Clay's grandfather took 100 of White Harbor's most elite fully armored heavy cavalry and 100 auxiliary soldiers to complete the route that Clay and his party took more than a week to complete in five days.

The news that he was leading troops north had naturally been informed to Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, early on. The latter had no choice. He was eager to save his heir, and he was a northerner like himself. He couldn't do it at all. Earl Wyman was ordered to return.

King Robert, who was originally going to hunt, canceled his trip after hearing this. During the Usurper's War, the northern cavalry of White Harbor left a deep impression on him.

As a king who conquered the world, Robert's blood was filled with violence all the time, so he wanted to take a look at this army instead of hunting.

Standing on the tall arrow tower at the east gate of Winterfell, King Robert and Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, stood together. His Majesty the King wore a huge fur cloak and cursed:

"What the hell! Ned, what the hell do you live in? This is summer, summer! I bet it's not as cold as you in King's Landing even in winter. How did you northerners survive?"

The Duke of Winterfell smiled helplessly. He looked at the fat figure of his former brother and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the people of the North and the Stark family have long been accustomed to all this, and we will live well."

"I know...I know...You Starks are a bunch of stubborn people, as cold as stone."

The two stopped talking, and Eddard knew very well that Robert was thinking of Lyanna again. Ever since he came to Winterfell, every plant and plant here reminded Robert of her late fiancée.

The same goes for Ed, except that he can always be with his sister.

From this tall arrow tower, you can only see the flags of the crowned stag and direwolf, but not the annoying Lannister flag.

About ten minutes later, melodious horn sounds came from the distance.

Dark blue mermaid flags appeared in the eyes of the king and the Duke of Winterfell.

Wyman Manderly, lord of White Harbor, led his troops to the king's stand.

When the troops advanced to a distance where Robert could see clearly, he glanced at Ed Stark in surprise and asked with some confusion:

"Seven Hells, Ned, this is your vassal's army. Why is it so well-equipped? Damn it! I thought I could only see such a scene in Tywin's old lion's army."

As the lord of the North, Duke Eddard certainly knew the strength of his vassals, so he was only slightly surprised by such a powerful cavalry team without much expression.

He patted the king on the shoulder and explained:

"Your Majesty, the Mandalay family... owns White Harbor after all, which is the fifth largest city in Westeros. It is very reasonable to support such an army."

"When I had an army like this, I could march into King's Landing and kill all those evil dragons in a month." Robert said fiercely.

Duke Ed frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:

"You have done it, my lord."

"No... no, it's not enough. Do you know Ned, across the narrow sea, the last blood of the evil dragon is still hidden there. I want to kill them all!" The king's voice was not loud, but anyone could hear it. Out of the still burning anger and unerasable hatred.

Ed Stark didn't want to bring up this topic, so he could only say:

"Your Majesty, it's time for me to meet Wyman Manderly."

"Go Ned, tell that old eel not to cause trouble for the queen. After all, give me some face. Wyman can take that boy and his sister away at any time, and Lannister dare not stop him."

With those last words spoken, Eddard Stark felt that this was the most kingly moment Robert had ever felt all day.

Under the city, at the front of the team, sat a huge and luxurious carriage. Count Wyman ordered the team to stop advancing.

Through the car window, he had already seen the 500 Winterfell cavalry lined up opposite them, and his lord was currently riding a horse under a huge direwolf flag, looking at him from a distance.

Anyway, the goal has been achieved. Earl Wyman told the groom and went to the direwolf banner alone without any guards.

From a long distance away, his thick and hoarse voice rang out:

"Your Majesty the Duke!"

When Lord Wyman walked in, Ed Stark nodded slightly and got off his horse.

Earl Weiman also knew that his trip had caused some trouble to the prince, so he simply went on with a salute.

Eddard Stark also knew what he was doing, and it was not difficult for him. He pulled him up, and the two of them entered Winterfell after greeting each other.

"Your Majesty the Duke, boy Clay..." Earl Wyman asked tentatively.

"Your grandson is really capable of causing trouble, but he is much smarter than your two sons."

He just said this, regardless of whether Earl Wiman could understand it or not, he led Earl Wiman directly towards the dungeon.

The king's words were correct. Although he understood Earl Wyman's behavior, in a sense, the Mandalay family had the intention of forcing the palace. If the queen really made trouble, although the king wanted to, he could not support it. kind of behavior.

Therefore, we should cut the trouble quickly and let Earl Weiman leave with his grandchildren to avoid further trouble.

He did not dodge or dodge along the way. Lord Eddard's steps were very fast, making Earl Wyman, who was even taller than Robert, sweat after following him.

Arriving in front of the dungeon, the White Harbor Guards just saw Duke Ed preparing to salute when they saw the figure of their own Earl also appearing. At that moment, everyone lowered their heads and pretended to be quail.

The heir of White Harbor was taken to the dungeon, and the noble lady was molested by Lannister. They didn't believe that these guards were not responsible at all.

The panting Earl Wyman looked at the White Harbor Guards, snorted heavily, glared at them, and followed Ed Stark down to the dungeon. The heir is more important now, and we can deal with these people later. .

As soon as he approached Clay's room, Duke Ed's steps slowed down. His nose told him that someone was drinking here, and his ears told him that there were three people in the room, and he was familiar with these three voices.

Impulsive, he kicked open the cell door and glared at the three people in the cell who were drinking happily.

The smiles on the young people's faces froze.
