Chapter 257

Winterfell castle.

In the banquet hall.

As time goes by.

The atmosphere in the originally noisy hall became more and more warm.

A corner of the hall.

Ed stark, the Duke of Winterfell, as the host, was leaning against an unnoticed corner and quietly watching the noisy and warm hall.

"After all these years, you still can't adapt to this kind of party."

Banyan stark, dressed in black and a little taller than ed stark, looked at his brother and smiled.

"I can't adapt to it in my life..."

Ed stark shook his head.

He really doesn't like such a noisy party.

But as the guardian of the north, the Duke of Winterfell, how could such a banquet be much less for him.

In general, he tries to avoid going to the party.

But he could not be absent today for the reception of the king and queen.

That is, he only had a drink with his majesty and the queen at the beginning of today.

Other entertainment was left to his wife Caitlin and son rob.

He remained in the hall feeling such a noisy scene and still felt a little at a loss.

However, his status is high enough, and no one dare to drink with him.

"By the way, do you know the young soldier I executed?"

At this time, ed stark thought of something and turned to his brother next to him.

When his brother asked, banyan stark immediately knew what he was asking, nodded and said, "I know."

"He is an ordinary soldier."

"But he is by no means a coward, ed. I know him better than you."

Banyan stark whispered.

Of course he knew about the desertion of the night watchman soldier.

"But listen to his absurd words."

"He said that his companion was killed by a strange ghost."

”Strange ghosts have disappeared for thousands of years... "

Ed stark shook his head.

Banyan stark interrupted, "but the two soldiers are indeed missing."

Ed Stark: "maybe it was attacked by savages."

Bunyan Stark: "maybe..."

"The ice Wolf appears very rarely in the south of the Great Wall, the rumor that strange ghosts appear again, and my brother is about to become the former Prime Minister..."

"Winter is coming."

Banyan stark sighed.

"Yes, winter is coming..."

Ed stark answered softly, looking deeply at the king in the middle of the hall holding the woman.

"By the way, ED, what do you think of Jon?"

Banyan stark looked at his brother again and said, "he has grown up."

Ed stark was silent when his brother mentioned Jon Snow.

At this time, he knew the real identity of Jon Snow.

He didn't tell anyone, even his wife Caitlin Tully, who had slept with him for decades, he didn't want to tell each other.

Just to protect Jon.

Ed stark was silent for a long time before he looked at his brother: "why did you suddenly ask this?"

Seeing his brother's silence, banyan stark didn't feel any other thoughts.

Illegitimate children.

Even the Duke of Winterfell, the illegitimate son of the governor of the north.

Joan's child has suffered too much over the years.

Today, most people in Winterfell were invited to welcome His Majesty's feast, but he was excluded.

When he came back to see Jon, he could already feel Jon's incomparable grievance and suffocating mind.

He grew up watching Jon and liked Jon's character.

Now the child begged himself.

He can't watch it anymore.

"Jon just told me he wanted to go to the Great Wall..."

Looking at his brother, banyan stark whispered.

The voice fell.

Ed stark was silent again.

Jon said to go to the Great Wall.

That must be going to be a night watchman.

Ed stark thought of the night watchman oath almost instantaneously.

"The long night is coming. I will watch from now on until I die."

"I will not take a wife, land or have children..."

This time, ed stark was silent for a long time

......

"Morgan, aren't you bored sitting?"

"You should have a good drink at the party..."

"Come on, cheers..."

Thomson, the guard captain of the inner castle gate next to him, greeted Morgan who put down his glass again.

"Come..."

With his current drinking capacity, he is not afraid of anyone.

He drank a large glass of wheat beer again.

Morgan put down his glass and looked again at the two long tables at the top.

Look at the desk not far away.

Look at Rob stark, the eldest son of Winterfell, the sisters Sansa stark and Elia stark, the prince Geoffrey baratheon from King's landing, and James Lannister, the Royal Guard and the Queen's brother.

Morgan is thinking about whether he should do something to show his existence a little.

But soon, he pressed the idea again.

This is not in Middle Earth.

In this world, I haven't made any other achievements and reputation except for the false name of a marksman who hasn't spread from Winterfell.

In this hierarchical world, rush forward.

It does no good except to give the impression of impoliteness and rudeness.

Just as Duchess Caitlin Tully and queen cersei Lannister looked over.

He quickly raised his glass, which must have left a certain impression on the queen.

"More than enough..."

Thinking of this, Morgan immediately calmed down.

Just then.

Morgan suddenly found that the host ed stark had left the corner of the hall and was coming towards him.

meanwhile.

Not far away, on the director's table, James Lannister, the Imperial Guard, who was drinking alone, suddenly stood up.

He is striding along the road beside him.

No surprise.

Ed stark and James Lannister met head-on when they came to the crowded road behind Morgan.

Look at the figure in front of you.

Ed Stark just glanced at each other and was about to pass by.

It's just his move.

James Lannister immediately followed.

Where ed stark goes, so does James Lannister.

Seems to realize that the guy in front of us is intentional.

Ed stark looked calm and said, "let's go."

James Lannister looked at ed stark and said, "I heard you're going to King's landing?"

"Is this true?"

"Then we can be neighbors."

Hearing that the other party seemed to be excited, ed stark looked at James Lannister again and said calmly, "your news is right. The king does mean that."

The voice fell.

James Lannister smiled and immediately said, "that's great."

"It's such a good thing, but it needs to be celebrated."

"If you don't mind, let's hold a martial arts contest."

"It's OK here, or in King's landing..."

"How about congratulating you on your new appointment?"

"Just the two of us. I've wanted to have a real competition with you for a long time."

James Lannister looked at the Duke of Winterfell and said quickly.

Hear each other.

Ed stark took a serious look at the Lannister family born royal guard, but he didn't like it all the time.

As a member of the elite legendary guard "Royal Iron Guard", which is only loyal to the king and specially created to protect the royal blood.

But he betrayed his oath and attacked James Lannister who killed his loyal King iris tangaryan II behind his back.

This is seen from ed stark, who attaches great importance to honor and chivalry.

James Lannister, who bears such a bad name as "regicide", cannot be forgiven.

That's why ed Stark has always hated the Queen's brother.

And for James Lannister, who had always been against ed stark, Duke of Winterfell, and hated each other.

He killed the mad king who tortured ed Stark's father and brother.

Ed stark not only didn't thank him, but also avenged him by accusing him of blackness.

How can this make James Lannister endure.

That's why James Lannister has always hated ed stark and targeted each other.

"I won't attend the martial arts contest."

Looking at the "regicide" in front of him, ed stark smiled and shook his head.

"Why?"

James Lannister immediately asked, "do you think you're too old?"

"Afraid of losing to me?"

Ed stark shook his head and said, "I don't want to participate in the martial arts competition, but I don't want to expose my strength when I really fight with others."

Looking at ed stark with a calm face, James Lannister was more and more unhappy.

"That's very good."

"But don't you think this is because you are too old and too old, which leads to self-confidence?"

Looking at the Duke of Winterfell in front of him, James Lannister provoked heartily, and looked at the frank man in front of him and said sarcastically, "you're still worried. You're afraid you'll lose to me."

The voice fell.

Morgan, who had been listening, finally stood up, looked at the two people in the confrontation and said, "Lord stark..."

"If you agree, Morgan is willing to fight for adults."

The sudden sound changed the two faces in the confrontation.

But when Ed stark heard Morgan's voice, he remembered Morgan's identity as a marksman and the strong sword strength that abused the leaders of all the soldiers in Winterfell, and his face immediately laughed.

James lannis, on the other hand, changed his complexion, and the expression on his handsome face immediately became gloomy.

Morgan then stepped forward to the two.

Ed stark turned and smiled at Morgan.

Then he looked at James Lannister and continued to smile: "let me introduce you, Morgan, the best swordsman in Winterfell and a marksman."

"If you don't mind, we can really hold a martial arts contest."

"It's OK here, or in Junlin city..."

Looking at the ugly face of the "regicide" in front of him, ed stark smiled more happily and continued: "of course, if you're afraid of losing, you can find someone else to replace it."

"I don't mind..."

Ed stark looked at James Lannister in front of him and smiled.

Fight back with each other's words and ridicule each other.

It feels great.

Look at ed Stark's increasingly annoying face.

James Lannister won't be fooled easily.

"Marksman, swordsman..."

Thinking about ED Stark's words, he turned and looked at the strange man next to him.

Handsome and cold.

It doesn't seem very different.

But with what he knows about ED stark.

Although the old guy is annoying, he is by no means a bluff man.

The strength of the strange man in front of me should not be poor.

He is the "Imperial Guard", the "regicide" and the "Lannister lion".

Although it has a bad reputation now.

But it is by no means comparable to the unknown man in front of us.

He didn't want to be a stepping stone for others, especially under ed stark, who he hated most.

"This is a contest between me and you, Lord stark."

"If someone else plays, there will be no point in competition."

James Lannister looked again and spoke to the Duke of Winterfell.

"Are you your excellency James Lannister?"

Then Morgan's voice sounded again.

From his eyes on ED Stark's face, he quickly turned to the tall and handsome blonde handsome man in front of him.

"It's me."

James Lannister nodded expressionless.

Morgan continued, "I know your excellency wants to challenge Lord stark."

"But Lord Stark's identity is different."

"What do you think? As Lord Stark's first partner, I can challenge Lord stark as long as I beat me."

"According to the same rules, you can also take one person to the war."

"Of course, if you beat me, I can challenge Lord stark. If I beat your companion, I can challenge you."

"What do you think of this competition?"

Morgan watched James Lannister finish in one breath and then looked at ed stark who didn't say hello in advance.

I saw the other side smiling at James Lannister.

"I also think Morgan said this method is good."

Looking at James Lannister, who was about to stop talking, ed stark immediately answered.

He didn't want to participate in the martial arts competition.

But I don't blame Morgan for being talkative.

Maybe Morgan had other thoughts, but he meant to help himself.

Ed stark knows this very well.

But Morgan dares to say such words, which also shows that Morgan has great confidence in his strength.

In that case.

How dare he dare to compete with the lannisters with Morgan.

Although Gregor krigon, nicknamed "Magic Mountain" and loyal to the Lannister family, is really strong.

But he has seen Morgan's strength.

Besides, he's still there.

"I'll think about it."

Hearing ed Stark's words, James Lannister looked at each of them, then turned aside and walked forward.

"Sorry, Lord stark, I'm a little impulsive."

As soon as James Lannister left, Morgan saluted and apologized to ED stark.

"No, Morgan, you didn't do anything wrong..."

Ed stark looked at Morgan, smiled and shook his head. He continued, "the stark family is never afraid of anything."

"However, if you say so, it is still quite possible for them to agree to hold a martial arts contest."

"If that's the case, you need to remember a person who is likely to be your biggest opponent..."

Morgan asked, "who?"

Ed Stark: "Gregor krigon, nicknamed" magic mountain. "
